Chapter 277 - Saving the Country with Curves
Under Gatekeeper's lead, Su Ming arrived at the building without any obstructions.
He could vaguely hear the sound of rehearsals upstairs.
They soon arrived at an office.
The Gatekeeper gently knocked on the door.
“Please come in.”
A faint voice came from inside the door.
Gatekeeper hurriedly opened the door. The person sitting in the room was Manager Liu.
He wasn't very old, only in his thirties. He wore a pair of glasses, looking very refined.
He was sitting at his desk, reading some documents in front of him.
He turned around and looked outside the door, frowning slightly.
“Uncle Soong, why are you here?”
“Manager Liu, this person is from the museum association. He said that they are going to hold an exhibition and they want to invite our orchestra to perform.”
Uncle Soong hurriedly said.
Manager Liu was indeed a manager. He was very calm after hearing Uncle Soong's words. There was no expression on his face.
“I understand. Uncle Soong, you can go back first.”
“Okay!”
Uncle Soong hurriedly left.
“Sit down first. I still have some work to do. Wait for me to finish my work first.” Manager Liu said without raising his head.
Su Ming smiled faintly.
He had seen this kind of trick many times at work.
The person who used this trick would make the people who came to wait on the side to show that he was usually very busy, had a lot of resources, and was very expensive. Therefore, he would not do work with low pay.
Su Ming knew that he only needed one thing to break this trick, which was enough money.
Money was easy to use wherever he went.
“Manager Liu, I have a lot of things to do, so I'll be frank with you.”
Su Ming smiled faintly. “I want to ask your band to play for my pig.”
“What did you say?”
Manager Liu trembled and dropped the pen on the ground.
Manager Liu thought, “What is this person saying? He actually wants our band to play for pigs! Is he joking? We are a professional band! If he wants us to perform for pigs, don't even think about it!”
“Get out!” Manager Liu stood up and said angrily.
He thought,” No matter what, I have to fire Uncle Soong. He was getting more and more unreliable. He even said that this person was from the Museum Association. Actually, he was a pig farmer! We have worked so hard to learn musical instruments for so many years. We are not here to perform for pigs! If he wants us to perform for pigs, don't even think about it!”
“I'll pay you 80,000 yuan for the performance.” Su Ming smiled faintly.
When Manager Liu heard this, he sneered, “Is there something wrong with your brain? We have so many people in our band, and all of them are top musicians. Are you going to give us such a small fee? Are you kidding us? Hurry up and get out. If you don't, I'll call security…”
” I'll pay each of you 80,000 yuan. “Su Ming said lightly.
“You'll give each of us 80,000 yuan?” Manager Liu stammered.
Manager Liu's eyes lit up. He pursed his dry lips and swallowed a mouthful of saliva.
“Then we also…”
Manager Liu thought about it carefully and decided that he still couldn't agree to Su Ming's request! Because he didn't know how long they would need to play. After all, Su Ming wanted them to play for the pigs, and this was no joke.
“You guys play for two hours a day, and I'll pay each of you 100,000 yuan!” Su Ming said lightly.
Manager Liu's face turned red. He wanted to refuse, but he couldn't.
Su Ming was willing to pay each of them a hundred thousand yuan! And they would only have to play for two hours. That meant that they would get fifty thousand yuan an hour for their performance. God, that was too high.
Although they were indeed professional orchestras, they were just local orchestras.
In today's society, how many people could enjoy elegant music?
Most people didn't like to listen to elegant music.
They announced that the people who came to listen to their music were all high-end people, but in fact, they just wanted to promote themselves.
After all, orchestras nowadays were not easy to manage. In today's society, phones, computers, and media were all so advanced, who would still want to listen to orchestras' music?
Young people liked Peking Opera and local songs more and more. They felt that these things were very interesting.
However, there were fewer and fewer people who enjoyed elegant music. It was very difficult for their band to earn money.
They were basically participating in some gala parties or performances.
They lived on basic wages and a little commission.
However, if they went to do other jobs, they would not be willing, so they could only make do with this job.
After all, they weren't the top band in the capital.
In the eyes of laymen, their work was high-end art.
This job was indeed an art, but they did need to earn money by performing to support themselves.
If they could not survive, what right did they have to practice art?
Now, this young man suddenly appeared here and offered Manager Liu such a high price.
100,000 yuan was equivalent to a member of the band's salary for a year.
“Young man, are you serious?”
Manager Liu was a little unsure.
He suspected that Su Ming was joking.
“Give me your bank account number.”
Su Ming said bluntly.
Manager Liu was stunned for a moment.
He had never encountered such a situation before.
He felt that Su Ming was too straightforward.
So far, they hadn't discussed any details about the performance, but Su Ming was now asking for Manager Liu's bank account number.
Manager Liu was confused and carefully gave the bank account to Su Ming.
Su Ming transferred 10 million to his bank account without saying anything.
“If this money is too much, you don't need to refund it. If it's too little, I'll pay you back later.”
Su Ming smiled faintly.
Manager Liu looked at the notification of the money being transferred to his account on his phone and stammered, unable to say a word.
He hadn't even agreed to perform, so why did Su Ming transfer the money to him directly?
Su Ming transferred the money too quickly!
“Manager Liu.”
Su Ming smiled. “Don't feel ashamed for the pig concert.”
“Pork is one of the most important meat products in our country. It directly affects the daily living standards of the people.”
“And I have been studying pigs recently. I think that concerts have an important effect on the mood of pigs.”
“When pigs are happy, they will eat more. When they eat more, the production of pigs will be higher, and the quality of the meat will also be very good. In this way, the living standards of our country's people will improve.”
“The happiness of the people will also be improved.”
” So, you are not playing music for the pigs. You are serving the people of the country! “Su Ming said seriously.
After hearing what he said, Manager Liu also felt that what he said made sense.
He was suddenly enlightened!
He thought, “We are not playing music for pigs. We are playing music to improve the standard of living of the people of the country. This is the reason why we have always insisted on the music ideal.”
“Although this method is a little strange, it can be considered to have achieved the goal.”
“Okay!”
Manager Liu nodded seriously. Then, he suddenly thought of something, “Sir, I have another request.”
“Speak.” Su Ming said.
“I want to join too!”
“No problem!”
Since the matter had already been settled, Manager Liu brought out a music list.
The song list was filled with songs that the orchestra was familiar with.
Su Ming did not understand these songs, but he still recognized the names.
He blinked and chose Mozart and Beethoven.
