Chapter 204

When Gao Yang said Ye Lianna was his girlfriend, the clerk receiving Gao Yang shrugged and said, "maybe I'm wrong. You're the lucky one with such a girlfriend."

Gao Yang smiled and said, "it's really lucky to get the favor of the beauty, but can you tell me why this piano can't be sold to me?"

The clerk apologized: "Sir, we can't sell you this piano. It's not for you. In fact, we don't target anyone. Let me introduce you to this violin. This violin is the work of Italian pianist Stradivari in 1724. As a layman, you may not have heard the name, but let's say that Stradivari's piano is a dream of every violinist Stradivari's piano is not only a musical instrument, but also an antique with great collection value,

Stradivari's works, as long as they are well preserved and can still be played, are worth at least more than one million. This piano was made by Violin Master Isaac Stern in 1963. Since then, this piano has been played by Isaac Stern. When Isaac Stern died, he made a will and handed it to our store for sale, and it was made according to him The piano was sold at its original price.

The money for selling the piano will be donated as a charity fund, but the condition for buying the piano is that the person using the piano must be a young artist, and the artistic attainments must be able to match the piano. Sir, if the piano is auctioned normally, the starting price should be more than 1.2 million US dollars. Personally, I expect the auction price to be at least more than 2 million US dollars, and in our store It only costs US $620000 to buy. Famous masters can't buy it, and young people can't meet the qualification or get the judgment of masters. Therefore, this piano has been here for a long time. Now we can't sell it unless you can prove that you deserve it. "

After listening to the clerk's long speech, Gao Yang felt that people really have reasons not to sell. After all, buying the piano is equivalent to picking up a big bargain or secondary. More importantly, the person who can buy the piano is equivalent to being recognized by the music industry.

Although the store has reasons why it can't be sold casually, Gao Yang still remembers the eager eyes of Ye Lianna when she looked at the piano. Gao Yang made up his mind in an instant. He had to buy the piano. If it couldn't be sold, he had to grab it.

"Sir, if you evaluate whether the buyer is qualified, there must be an evaluation standard."

The clerk smiled and said, "it's very simple. It's OK to be recognized by two violinists at the same time. Which two gentlemen standing next to you are qualified. Which gentleman is a professor of Julia Conservatory of music, he is absolutely qualified to make an assessment, and the other one is absolutely qualified. It's hard for them to get together, but today just let you meet."

When the clerk spoke, he pointed to the two old men who had been chatting. When he saw the two old men, she felt speechless. No wonder Ye Lianna greeted people with an excited face. With these two insignificant old men, she was still a master.

But what makes Gao Yang depressed is that even if the two qualified judges are here, he can't help it. If he had known that things were so coincidental, he would have asked Ye Lianna to try the piano. Although Ye Lianna is unlikely to be qualified to buy it, she has to try it.

After a long sigh, Gao Yang said with a depressed face: "I was going to give my girlfriend a surprise, but now it seems that I should have stopped her just now and let her try this piano."

The clerk shrugged, looked helpless and said: "It's really time for your girlfriend to try, but it's a pity that Mr. Jack Cantor Houfu is leaving the United States today, and he just changes a string in our store, and the piano will be repaired soon, so I think if your girlfriend wants to have another chance to try the piano, she should apply to our boss in advance, and then wait until when he has another chance. No Fortunately, it's close to the Lincoln Art Center. There should be a chance, but it depends on luck. You know, there are few opportunities to bring at least two violin masters together at the same time. "

Gao Yang regretted. He immediately said in a hurry, "it seems impossible for me to surprise her, but can you give my girlfriend a chance to try? I'll get her back right away."

"I'm very sorry, sir. It depends on whether Jack Kangtou Houfu agrees. I think you can ask him yourself."

Just as Gao Yang was about to ask the old man named Jack Cantor Houfu if he could wait for a moment, Jack Cantor Houfu suddenly said, "young man, you said that girl was your girlfriend just now?"

Gao Yang nodded again and again and said, "yes, sir, you may have heard our conversation. Can you give a very talented girl a chance to wait a moment?"

The old man, who was also a master violinist and stood next to Jack canthorf, suddenly said, "what's your girlfriend's name?"

"Ye Lianna."

"Full name."

"Elena Jura Ivanova."

"What's your name?"

Gao Yang hesitated for a moment and said honestly, "my name is Gao Yang."

The old man nodded and said, "it seems that you are his boyfriend, a Chinese, called Gao Yang. There is nothing wrong. Few of Ye Lianna's classmates know her full name, because she doesn't want to tell them her full name, but her classmates, especially her boyfriend, know that her boyfriend is called Gao Yang. Are you engaged?"

Gao Yang opened his mouth in surprise and lost his mind: "ah? Ah! You know me? How is this possible? What are you talking about?"

The old man shrugged his shoulders and said with a smile: "I'm Ye Lianna's teacher. I specially read her admission records, so I know her full name. The reason why I know your existence is because you are a celebrity. Let's say, ye Lianna has fought twice since she entered school, or she has put two poor suitors into the hospital. The reason is because of you, because the suitors mentioned you, ha Ha, you are a public enemy that only exists in the legend. Especially when ye Lianna officially announced that she has been engaged to you. When she will get married after graduation, I guess the people who want to beat you can line up a long line. "

Gao Yang was completely stunned. He opened his mouth, but he couldn't say a word. Looking at Gao Yang's dull face, the old man smiled: "Ye Lianna is the most gifted child I've ever seen and the most hardworking child I've ever seen. She often says that her father and boyfriend earned her tuition with life as their capital, so she doesn't allow herself to relax. I don't know what you do, and I don't want to inquire, but I think you must be engaged in a very dangerous job, young man, you And ye Lianna are very lucky. You are really lucky to have each other. "

Gao Yang nodded subconsciously, but he quickly reacted and said in a hurry: "Sir, since you appreciate Ye Lianna, can you give her a chance? I really want to buy this piano for her, because I know she is eager to get it, and I think she is qualified to get it."

Ye Lianna's teacher nodded and said, "I think so, too. If I am qualified to choose, it is Ye Lianna. I am very sure of this and take my personality as a guarantee."

The clerk who entertained Gao Yang immediately said, "of course you are qualified, but we need two masters to make a choice at the same time."

Ye Lianna's teacher smiled and looked at Jack Cantor Houfu next to him, but Jack Cantor Houfu pointed to the violin and said to the clerk, "if you are sure I am qualified to make a judgment, then sell the piano to him. In fact, I was going to say that just now."

Ye Lianna's teacher took it for granted, as if he had known that Jack Kangtou Houfu would choose this way, but the clerk who received Gao Yang was stunned and said, "of course, sir, you are qualified to make a judgment, but have you heard any girl play?"

Jack Cantor Houfu nodded and said loudly: "Of course, I've heard it twice, one is the performance of the student band of Julia Conservatory of music, and the other is her solo. I'm old, but I can firmly remember the girl's name, because I'm very impressed with her. She is the biggest gain of my trip to the United States. Her piano sound has a soul. As long as it is honed, she will be a master of a generation, just me As far as people are concerned, I don't think anyone is more qualified to get the piano than her. "

The two masters made a judgment at the same time, and the person judged was not even present. The clerk who received Gao Yang immediately nodded and said: "I see. Although the boss is not here, I am qualified to make a decision. If the two gentlemen can make a written statement, the piano belongs to miss Ye Lianna. Of course, the premise is that the gentleman has to pay US $620000."

Gao Yang was overjoyed, nodded repeatedly and said, "of course, of course I want to buy it."

After Gao Yang finished his words, he remembered that he didn't have enough money at all. He now has 360000 US dollars, which is just half the difference. However, there can be no branches of Swiss bank there, but there will be one in New York, and it must be on Wall Street.

"Sir, I don't have enough money, but I can get it back right away. Can I pay half as a deposit first?"

The clerk said with a smile, "don't bother so much. As long as your girlfriend doesn't give up, you can pay within a month. After all, we have to leave time for young people to raise money."

Gao Yang immediately said, "wait for me. It won't take me a month. I'll bring money back soon. By the way, can I pay in cash?"

"Sorry, because it's a large payment, we can only accept checks or credit cards. Of course, transfer is also OK. If necessary, we can provide you with an account number."

As soon as Gao Yang heard about the transfer, he remembered that he could transfer the money to any account as long as he dialed a phone and reported his account number and password, so Gao Yang immediately said, "transfer, transfer immediately."
