Chapter four hundred and ninety-eight the woman who smashed the piano
Chapter 498: The Woman Who Blasts the Piano
"I know there is a piano shop in front of me, and there are world-famous brand pianos for sale, but the number is not large, and it is just one or two at a time. If you really want it, you usually need to book it." Yang Jier said to Chen Mingluo.
She held Chen Mingluo's arm, which was quite tall and wore high heels. In addition, when she was wearing it, she would attract the attention of passers-by wherever she went. As for Chen Mingluo, she was relatively low-key. Although his clothes were also valuable, there was no trademark or something on the handmade brand clothing. Most people couldn't recognize it at all. They thought it was made by a street tailor, but the tailor's skills were too good.
Although the weather has become a little cooler on the streets of Yangshuo in mid-October, for most people, it will not affect their summer clothes. They just add a coat outside. The girls are reluctant to take back their exposed thighs, but choose to add a brightly colored scarf or something on their body. They can act as decorations and block the wind and cold, which can be said to kill two birds with one stone.
"A girl's beautiful legs are very pleasing to the eye, right?" Yang Jier asked with a soreness when she saw Chen Mingluo's eyes floating on the road.
"Haha, it's just a look. When you are covered with stockings, you can't see anything--" Chen Mingluo did not have any shameful consciousness, but pointed out the biggest problem to the point.
To be honest, Chen Mingluo himself found it a bit incredible that the autumn and winter in Yangshuo is still relatively cold, but even in the coldest winter, beautiful legs wearing various stockings can be seen on the streets of Yangshuo. Chen Mingluo really finds this difficult to understand.
You said that your legs are good, long and straight, which is of course good, but this type of legs looks good in everything you wear, right? Because the hair is exposed outside? The weather in Yangshuo is not like some places in the south where all seasons are like spring. If you stay outside for a while, the chance of becoming an old cold leg is very high.
"You don't think you can't see anything?" Yang Ji'er said, "If you really want to see something, don't you tell me if you put aside the stockings, do you think the clothes on your body are a little too?"
"That won't work. What kind of morality is it in the streets?" Chen Mingluo shook his head and denied.
In fact, Yang Ji'er's legs are also very good, but she came out with Chen Mingluo. She just wore a pair of jeans, stockings, etc., but she was not used to letting others see them. After all, she thought she was a person with status, so how could she show her thighs on the street? She wasn't a street girl?
But then again, even when she wears stockings, she is with Chen Mingluo most of the time, or drives and mostly goes in and out. At other times, she basically stays at home to trade stocks, or is in school. In that case, she should be careful when dressing and not too much, otherwise it will easily cause bad influence among students.
The two walked into a piano shop opposite called Yidi Piano Store. It is said that new famous brands are often sold here.
"I just came here to check it out, I really can't afford it." When Yang Jier came in with Chen Mingluo's arm, she saw that although the waiter was polite, she felt a little disapproving in her eyes.
It's no wonder that the price of such world-famous pianos is often hundreds of thousands or millions. There are not many people who can afford it, especially in the 1990s. Although a group of new rich people had appeared in China, there are not many people who are interested in this and know the industry.
Such top-notch brand pianos are basically the favorites of big brothers in the music industry, or those who are high-end orchestras spend a lot of money to purchase, so there are not many opportunities to enter ordinary people.
For ordinary people, it would be great to spend 10,000 or 20,000 yuan to buy an ordinary domestic piano.
Just like Yang Ji'er in the past, although her grandfather was the secretary of the provincial party committee and her parents were both senior intellectuals, her mother Sang Qingrong was even a deputy department-level official, and her family might not have much money. It is still difficult to buy a real brand-name piano. You can't just buy a piano and don't eat or drink, right?
The piano she bought before was only more than 10,000 yuan, but she found an acquaintance and ordered it directly from the manufacturer. The price was much cheaper than the market. On the market, it would cost at least more than 20,000 yuan.
After the two of them entered, they found that there were about a dozen pianos in the piano store, mainly foreign brands, but there were no clear prices. Obviously, the price of this thing is a bit untransparent, and it often requires negotiation between the two parties to set a more suitable price.
Chen Mingluo also found that there were several customers in the store who were asking about the purchase and were discussing something with the clerk there, and it seemed to be very interested.
The clerk was listening to the piano sound effects for two people. She first played a song on a foreign brand piano, and then played the same song on a piano that she had never heard of before, allowing the two customers to compare and judge which piano had better effect?
"It sounds like there is not much difference. The brand even has several flaws. "A customer sounded like a little musical cultivation, and suddenly heard the problem. "What brand is your piano? Although I haven't heard of it, the effect is still not bad."
"Our piano is also imported from Germany, and it comes from the same source as the one just now, but the process is more advanced, but it is not famous yet, so the price is much more discounted, which is only about 20% off for the famous piano, and the cost-effectiveness is still very high." The clerk explained, and then said, "In fact, buying famous brands is more about the face consumption of some rich people. From a practical perspective, choosing the one that suits you is the most important thing."
After hearing this, the two of them felt something was right. After playing it a few times, they felt that although the piano was not famous, the effect was not bad at all, so they seemed a little moved. However, the two of them came out today and just checked the situation first, but they had no intention of buying it.
"What brand is this? Is it better than a famous brand?" After hearing this, Yang Ji'er was also a little surprised. She often played the piano, and felt that the famous brand piano was not at the level I remembered.
Chen Mingluo looked at it, but smiled and said nothing.
When Yang Jier saw Chen Mingluo's expression, she was a little surprised, so she asked him what was wrong?
"In fact, this is a sales strategy, which can also be said to be a misleading consumer. It does not only appear when selling pianos." Chen Mingluo whispered to her. "Some irregular dealers often deliberately adjust a recognized brand piano to the worst state in order to promote the brand pianos of small manufacturers they represent, and deliberately target retail prices much lower than the normal market price. In order to devalue brand pianos or attract consumers to the piano store at low prices, they recommend brand pianos produced by irregular manufacturers they represent, so that consumers who do not know the truth are often misled."
"So that's the case. No wonder it sounds like it's a big loss of standard-" Yang Ji'er suddenly realized after hearing this, thinking that if Chen Mingluo hadn't been there, she would have almost been fooled.
After determining the piano brand to purchase, it is relatively easier to choose a piano. The main thing is to carefully observe the texture of the outer panel, lacquer decoration, assembly technology, etc.
Just like the upper door, lower door, neck cover, side panel, keyboard cover, etc. of piano shell are all made of wood, high-end pianos are made of logs, and popular pianos are synthetic wood. The most feared thing is to use waste boards. This kind of piano is often wrapped in beautifully with veneer panels, but it is golden and jade inside, and the effect will definitely not be good.
Another thing to note is the precision of the assembly, which can directly reflect the craftsmanship level of the piano.
The piano shell with excellent craftsmanship is compact in assembly, smooth lines and even in movement gap. When you open the keyboard cover, you can feel that the keyboard is elastic and not loose when you touch. The hammer is arranged in a straight line, with a slight bulge in the middle. The gap between the hammer is very uniform, and the soundboard at the back is fine and tightly assembled.
Chen Mingluo and Yang Jier walked around and took a fancy to the Steinway, which was originally produced in Germany. Although the piano was deliberately transferred by the clerk, after just finding a pianist to correct it, it would be an absolute top-notch enjoyment.
The two of them were about to ask the clerk about the price and when they booked the piano, they saw a slim young woman wearing it came from outside.
It wasn't the two of them who wanted to see her, but the other party's high heels were walking on the floor tiles inside the store, which was really loud.
When Chen Mingluo turned his head to look, he found that the slim young woman was tall, only a little lower than Yang Jier. Her legs were straight and she felt a little plump. She felt a round and jade-like feeling. Her chest was also bulging, and the strapless breasts on her chest were placed very low, revealing a large piece of whiteness, which was very eye-catching. As for her hair, she was a big wavy curl with a shawl, with a fair face, and wearing a pair of brown sunglasses.
"A typical beautiful young woman with black stockings, this is the highest level of mistress--" Chen Mingluo glanced at it and felt that this woman had a mistress smell, so she couldn't tell the details.
After the young woman with black stockings walked in, she raised her face high and her chest was exaggerated, as if she was like a tank driving into a shopping mall. She walked in without hesitation, and then threw her handbag on the Steinway piano that Chen Mingluo and Yang Jier were considering buying.
Her handbag is not a bargain either. Chen Mingluo took a look and found that it was an authentic LV, which was estimated to be around 20,000 yuan. It seems that this is also a person who is willing to spend other people's money without mercy.
But when the young woman with black stockings smashed her lv handbag on the piano, the keys pressed down, making a buzzing roar, which scared the clerk and several customers.
The owner of the shop was not here at this time, but a few shop assistants were in charge of the business. When they saw that the Steinway piano, which was the treasure of the shop, was smashed with a bag, they were immediately frightened, fearing that they would be able to smash something. This is the most expensive piano in the shop. If there is any mistake or something, they can't afford to pay.
"Buying a piano is the most expensive-" The young woman with black stockings seemed to be nothing, leaned against the piano, shook her hair, and said to the clerk in a delicate voice.
The clerk was startled by her and quickly checked whether the piano keys were smashed or painted. Seeing her style, she felt a little uncomfortable, so she said, "Miss, the piano is a valuable item--"
"What are you talking about? What lady, who is the lady? Are you scolding people, right?" The young woman with black stockings responded nervously and asked repeatedly.
Chen Mingluo couldn't help laughing when he heard this.
These days, the word "Miss" has been abused, just as no one is willing to use the word "comrade" again. These originally very positive words have been given new meanings by this era.
No wonder the young woman with black stockings reacted so violently. Chen Mingluo's intuition judged that the young woman with black stockings must be a mistress who is rich, otherwise she would not be like this, and she also responded so fiercely to the word "Miss".
Chen Mingluo has always believed that the more intense the reaction to something, the more it proves that there is a ghost in his heart. This view has been repeatedly confirmed.
The clerk was a little overwhelmed by the young woman with black stockings. He just said in a vain, "Sorry, the piano is a valuable item. If you smash it with your handbag like this, it is easy to cause losses. If the piano is damaged by this..."
"Well, I don't have money?! Can't afford it?!" The young woman with black stockings didn't know if she had taken the gun or had a dissonant sex life recently. In short, she looked dissatisfied with the clerk immediately after hearing this.
"I don't mean that, I just remind you that piano is a valuable item--" The clerk was overwhelmed and could only repeat his point of view again.
The young woman with black stockings was obviously a little angry. She lifted her handbag up and threw it hard on the piano keys, then said, "Isn't it just a broken piano? Can't I afford it?! Today I'm going to let out this breath and smash the piano! How much is it, I will pay for it!"
After she finished speaking, she took out a bank card from her handbag and slapped it on the checkout counter next to her.
