Chapter 231 Helpless Facts

"Yufan, come and see, this is our warehouse in the entire Beijing-Tianjin area. How is it, it's spectacular." Standing in a large warehouse with thousands of square meters and completely steel structure, Zhao Bao said with satisfaction at the more than a hundred pianos under the fluorescent lights.

This is the warehouse of the Zhujiang Piano Factory in this area. Because it is not far from the river and sea, several people came here after lunch.

The reason why the warehouse was chosen here is because Jianghai City is located in the sea, and there is a deep-water port, so the water transportation is relatively convenient.

"Well, it's quite big." Looking at the large piano in front of you, Liu Yufan was also a little shocked. The big guys stood there quietly like soldiers waiting for inspection, which was really attractive.

"Let's go, I'll take you to the warehouse where you can watch high-end piano playing. The things there are beautiful." Zhao Bao led the two people to the other side excitedly like a big child who showed his favorite toys to others.

The staff walked in front and opened a small door for them. After pushing open the door, dozens of grand pianos appeared before several people.

Lao Huang is better. After all, he has been here to purchase goods, so he was not surprised by all this. Liu Yufan was a little surprised. Those grand pianos are of all colors and shapes. Unlike the dusty vertical pianos outside, each piano here is wiped cleanly, and it can be seen that someone often takes care of them. The grand piano is the "noble" in the piano. The price is much more expensive than ordinary vertical pianos, so naturally the treatment is different.

Liu Yufan walked quietly among these pianos, watching the pianos of different colors and exquisite shapes, a strong performance rose in his heart.

In the center, there is a shiny nine-foot piano all over black. This size is the largest among grand pianos. The Yamaha at Liu Yufan's home is also the same size, which cost him nearly 200,000 yuan. This piano is not priced, but in terms of this size, the price will definitely not be too low.

There are no piano benches in front of other pianos, but there is a genuine leather stool in front of this piano.

Liu Yufan pulled open the piano bench, sat down in front of the piano, and then looked sideways at Manager Zhao.

"Oh, play it, it's okay, play it casually, haha." Before Liu Yufan could speak, Zhao Bao came over. He brought him over to experience the Pearl River Piano.

Before coming to the piano, Zhao Bao said proudly, "This is our factory's flagship product. The Zhujiang Tianlai series Jiufoot playing piano. All the steel strings are imported from Germany. The craftsmanship is also under the strictest control. The tune is also performed by the most experienced master in our factory. Yufan, try this piano."

"Okay." Liu Yufan said with a smile, and then he did not start playing immediately, but looked at the piano in front of him.

The black and shiny piano body is polished very beautifully. In the piano board above the keys, Liu Yufan's figure is clearly reflected inside, like a mirror, and the portrait inside has no deformation at all, which shows that the craftsmanship of the piano board is very strict and in place.

The keys are fine and neat, especially the black keys, which are treated with matte light. Liu Yufan gently stroked the keys with his hands, feeling a warm feeling, which is very comfortable.

The hands sank slightly, a gentle chord sounded, and the piano tone flooded in the air, as if it was a mass, making people feel at ease.

This is a chord in C major, with both hands in the midrange area, and the tone seems to be neither anxious nor impatient.

The left hand moved slightly downward and sank again on the g chord, while the right hand moved slightly in its original position, and a g 46 chord was bounced.

Turning the am chords again, the music becomes softer and more graceful.

His hands were slightly undulating, and he relied entirely on the "weight" of his forearms to play the piano. This melody seemed calm and quiet.

Lao Huang and Manager Zhao, who were standing quietly next to the piano, seemed to be infected by the sound of the piano, and their expressions on their faces became a little pious.

The sound of the piano gradually became lively, and some single notes were added to the chords, but it was still the original melody. After adding variations, the musical image became more full.

C major chord turns g, turn am, turn em, and then f, c, f, f, g... A harmonization that is not complicated has become extremely vivid and beautiful under Liu Yufan's hands.

Obviously, this is another song that neither of them has heard before. Unlike the song "He is a Pirate" that Liu Yufan just played in the piano shop, this song is not violent at all, and the whole body is full of clean, transparent and tranquil flavors.

The right hand began a cheerful variation, and against the steady and fully decomposed chord of the left hand, it was like a clear stream singing happily...

The sound of the piano is sometimes cheerful and sometimes quiet. Liu Yufan's hands are sometimes flexible and sometimes lazy on the keys. The control of the strength is amazing.

A simple little song made the two of them feel endless aftertaste. So when Liu Yufan ended the music with a delicate round finger, both of them were still immersed in the wonderful music and could not extricate themselves.

After a long time, the two of them came back to their senses.

Old Huang shook his head and smashed his mouth twice, and smiled and said, "Yufan, you are so amazing. What kind of song is this? I just felt that I was ignorant today. You played two songs in a row, but I haven't heard a single song."

"Yes, Yufan, although this song is not as powerful as the one you played in the piano store just now, it is endless aftertaste. It is such a good song." Manager Zhao also exclaimed.

"Haha, Manager Zhao, Boss Huang, this song is called "Kanon". It is actually a variable etude, and it is not difficult." Liu Yufan said with a smile.

What he just played was the classic "Canon", which was popular in the popular piano world for a long time in the later generations. There are also many versions of this song, the most classic version played by George Winston. Later generations adapted many of them based on this version, including Canon in D major, and even the rock version of Canon, etc.

However, the Canon section that Liu Yufan just played was basically almost the original version, and the impromptu changes made did not hurt the original work, which was considered a more regular variation. Because this version is also the version he liked more, he also felt that this version was a relatively perfect version and there was no need to change it.

"Kanon? Why does it sound so familiar? It seems like I have learned it when I was in school. But why haven't I heard this song?" Lao Huang also studied music before. When he heard Liu Yufan mention "Kanon", he asked in confusion.

"Haha, Boss Huang, you remember correctly. Canon is not a song, but a variation. Its skeleton is a relatively fixed harmony formula, but the player can freely decide what form to accompany the music based on the formula. You have heard Mozart's "Variation of Little Stars", but it is actually similar to that one." Liu Yufan explained with a smile.

"Oh, yes, I remembered this after you said this, but the variation you just made was really great. I guess many people would like it." Lao Huang said affirmatively.

His words are true. In later generations, the piano music "Canon" has been widely circulated among piano enthusiasts. Basically, anyone who likes piano has heard of or practiced this song.

"Haha, Yufan, you played this Tianlai just now, what do you think?" Manager Zhao asked with a smile.

"Yeah, it's very good. To be honest, the tone was quite unexpected. It was very clean and vertical. Although it didn't sound as beautiful as Yamaha, it was expensive because of its realness. In addition, the keys were also very sensitive. Although it was a bit hard, it felt good. It was a good piano." Liu Yufan said seriously.

Listening to Liu Yufan's words, Manager Zhao kept nodding. Liu Yufan just said these things were basically very pertinent. They knew what the piano in their factory was like. Although they said they were close to the level of second-tier brands, to be honest, there was still a certain gap from those truly second-tier products. The problems that Liu Yufan just mentioned were all technical problems. They had already achieved the best within their ability, but their technical backwardness could not be supplemented in a short time.

"Then are you willing to endorse it?" Manager Zhao asked looking at Liu Yufan.

"Manager Zhao, what is the price of this piano?" Liu Yufan did not rush to answer Zhao Bao, but looked at him and asked a question.

"Oh, the retail guide price of this piano is 80,000 yuan. Of course, the actual price sold by the piano store may be lower, about 60,000 to 70,000 yuan." Manager Zhao said quickly, all of which were recorded in his mind.

"No way, it's so cheap?" Liu Yufan said in surprise when he heard the price quoted by Manager Zhao.

You know, the Yamaha Triangle at his home has the same specifications as this piano, but it used him 200,000 yuan! When he just experienced this piano, although some details were worse than Yamaha, there was no big gap overall. It should belong to the same level of piano. But what he didn't expect was that this piano was so cheap, almost only one-third of that of Yamaha piano!

Seeing Liu Yufan's surprised look, Manager Zhao smiled and said with a little self-deprecating smile: "Are you very surprised? Haha, in fact, our factory basically doesn't make much money at this price. There is no way. In order to open up the market, we can only adopt a low-price strategy, otherwise we will not be able to compete with those international brands at all."

Manager Zhao's tone was a little low, and he was obviously helpless by such facts.

After hearing what Manager Zhao said, Liu Yufan felt a little sad. After all, it was his own brand in China and a brand he had a good impression of, but he didn't expect it to be in such a situation. He felt that he needed to do something for this brand.

"Manager Zhao, I decided to endorse your piano." Liu Yufan looked at Zhao Bao and said sincerely.
