ps: Brothers, the monthly ticket list is about to fall out of the top 100. Please ask for a monthly ticket, as well as a recommendation ticket. Recently, the ranking of the recommendation list has been falling. Please ask for a recommendation ticket.

When Gao Yang said that Yelena was his girlfriend, the clerk who received Gao Yang shrugged and said, "Maybe I was wrong, you are the lucky one to have such a girlfriend."

Gao Yang smiled and said: "It is indeed lucky to be favored by a beauty, but can you tell me why you can't sell this piano to me?"

The clerk said with an apologetic face: "Sir, we can't sell you this violin. It's not against you. In fact, we don't target anyone. Let me introduce this violin to you first. This violin is made by Italian violin maker S. Tradivari's work in 1724, as a layman, you may not have heard the name, but let's just say, Stradivari's violin is the dream of every violin master, and Stein Radivari's piano is not only a musical instrument, but also an antique with great collectible value.

Stradivari's works, as long as they are well preserved and can be played, are worth at least one million yuan, and this violin was bought by the violin master Isaac Stern in 1963. Since then, this violin has been It has always been the playing piano of Isaac Stern, and when Mr. Isaac Stern passed away, he made a will and handed over the piano to our store for sale, and it was based on the time when he bought the piano Sold at original price.

The proceeds from the sale of this violin will be donated as a charity fund, but the condition for buying this violin is that the person who uses this violin must be a young artist, and the artistic attainment must be able to match this violin, sir, If this piano were to be auctioned normally, the starting price would be over 1.2 million US dollars, and I personally expect the auction price to be at least over 2 million US dollars. And in our store, it only costs $620,000. Famous masters can't buy it, and young people can't qualify or get judged by masters, so this violin has been here for a long time, and now unless you can Prove that you are worthy of this instrument, otherwise we won't be able to sell it. "

After listening to the clerk's long speech, Gao Yang felt that there was indeed a reason why he couldn't sell it. After all, buying this violin was equivalent to picking up a big deal. Anyone who can buy this piano is equivalent to being recognized by the music industry.

Although this store has reasons why it cannot be sold casually, Gao Yang still remembers Yelena's longing eyes when she looked at this violin. Gao Yang made up his mind in an instant that he must buy this violin. If you really can't sell it, you have to grab it.

"Sir, what if we evaluate whether the buyer is qualified? There must be an evaluation standard."

The clerk smiled slightly. Said: "It's very simple, it is enough to be recognized by two violin masters at the same time, and the two gentlemen standing next to you are qualified, whichever gentleman is a professor at the Juilliard School of Music, he is absolutely qualified to make Evaluation, and the other one is definitely qualified. It is rare for the two of them to get together, but today you just happen to meet it.

"

When the clerk was talking, he pointed at the two old men who had been chatting and saw the two old men. Gao Yang was speechless. No wonder Yelena greeted people with excitement. Together with these two inconspicuous old men, they were still masters.

But what makes Gao Yang depressed is that even if the two people who are qualified to judge are here, there is nothing he can do. If he had known that it was such a coincidence, he would have to let Yelena try the violin anyway, although Yelena may be eligible to buy it. It's not a big deal, but you have to try it.

After a long sigh, Gao Yang said with a gloomy 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 and said helplessly: "You should really let your girlfriend try it, but it's a pity that Mr. Jack Contohofer is leaving the United States today, and he is just changing a bag in our store. strings, and the piano will be repaired soon, so I think if your girlfriend wants to have another chance to try that piano, she may have to apply to our boss in advance, and then wait until the opportunity comes again. But fortunately, it is very close to the Lincoln Center for the Arts, so there should be opportunities, but it depends on luck. You know, the chances of getting at least two violin masters together at the same time are really rare."

Gao Yang regretted it so much that he immediately said urgently: "It seems that it is impossible for me to give her a surprise, but can you give my girlfriend a chance to try? I will go after her right away."

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

Just when Gao Yang was about to ask the old man named Jack Kangtouhou if he could wait for a moment, Jack Kangtouhou suddenly said: "Young man, you said that the girl just now is your daughter." friend?"

Gao Yang nodded repeatedly and said: "Yes, sir, you may have heard our conversation. May I ask if you can give a very talented girl a chance? Are you willing to wait for a while?"

The old man who was also a violin master and stood next to Jack Contouhoufu suddenly asked: "What's your girlfriend's name?"

"Yelena."

"full name."

"Yelena Yura Ivanova."

"May I have your name?"

After Gao Yang hesitated for a moment, he said honestly: "My name is Gao Yang."

The old man nodded and said: "It seems that you are his boyfriend, a Chinese named Gao Yang, that's right. Not many of Yelena's classmates know her full name because she is unwilling to tell them her full name. But her classmates, especially the male classmates, all know that her boyfriend is named Gao Yang. Are you engaged?"

Gao Yang opened his mouth in surprise and said in a daze: "Ah? Ah! Do you know me? How is this possible? What are you talking about?"

The old man shrugged and said with a smile: "I am Yelena's teacher. I specifically read her enrollment record, so I know her full name. And the reason why I know your existence is because you are a Celebrities, let’s put it this way, since Yelena entered school, she has had two fights, or she has sent two poor suitors to the hospital. It was all because of you, because her suitor mentioned you, haha , you are a public enemy that only exists in legends, especially when Yelena officially announces that she is engaged to you and will get married as soon as she graduates, I guess there will be a long queue of people who want to beat you up."

Gao Yang was completely stunned. He opened his mouth wide, but could not say a word. Looking at Gao Yang's dull look, the old man chuckled again and said: "Yelena is the most talented child I have ever seen. She is also the hardest-working child I have ever seen. What she often says is that her father and boyfriend used their lives as capital to earn her tuition, so she does not allow herself to relax. I don’t know what you are doing. I have no intention of asking about your job, but I think you must be engaged in a very dangerous job. Young man, you and Yelena are both lucky. You are really lucky to have each other."

Gao Yang nodded subconsciously, but he quickly reacted and said urgently: "Sir, since you admire Yelena very much, can you give her a chance? I really want to buy this piano and give it to her. , because I know she is eager to get this piano, and I also think she is qualified to get this piano."

Yelena's teacher nodded and said: "I think so too. If I am qualified to choose, it would be Yelena. I am very sure of this and use my personality as a guarantee."

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

Yelena's teacher smiled and looked at Jack Contohouf next to him, but Jack Contohouf pointed to the violin and said to the clerk: "If you confirm that I am also qualified to make a judgment , then sell the piano to him, in fact, that’s what I was about to say just now.”

Yelena's teacher looked matter-of-fact, as if he had known that Jack Contouhoufu would make such a choice, but the clerk who received Gao Yang had a look of astonishment on his face and said: "Sir, of course you are qualified to make a judgment, but have you heard that Which girl’s performance?”

Jack Contohofer nodded and said loudly: "Of course, I heard it twice, once was a performance by the Juilliard School student band, and once was her solo. I am older, but I can firmly Remember this girl's name, because I have a very deep impression on her. She is the biggest gain from my trip to the United States. Her piano sound already has a soul. As long as she is honed, she will definitely be a master. Personally, I don’t think there is anyone more qualified to receive this piano than her.”

The two masters made judgments at the same time, and the person being judged was not even present. The clerk who received Gao Yang immediately nodded and said: "I understand, although the boss is not here, I am qualified to make a decision. If the two A gentleman can make a written statement that this piano belongs to Miss Yelena, of course, provided that the gentleman pays $620,000."

Gao Yang was ecstatic and nodded repeatedly: "Of course, of course I want to buy it."

After Gao Yang finished speaking, he remembered that he didn't have enough money now. He now had 360,000 US dollars, which was exactly half of it. However, there may not be a Swiss Bank branch there, but there must be one in New York, and it must be in New York. On Wall Street.

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

The clerk smiled and said, "You don't have to bother. As long as your girlfriend doesn't give up, you just need to pay within one month. After all, we have to leave time for young people to raise funds."

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

"Sorry, because it is a large amount of payment, we can only accept checks or credit cards. Of course, transfers are also acceptable. If necessary, we can provide you with an account number."

When Gao Yang heard about the transfer, he realized that he could transfer the money to any account as long as he made a phone call and reported his account number and password, so Gao Yang immediately said: "Transfer, transfer immediately." (To be continued ..)
