Leaving the Delong Building, Lu Chen and Lu Xi took a taxi back to the studio.
Lu Xi asked curiously, "What's the matter with that Director Wen? Why is he so polite to you?"
She and Lu Chen came to EMI together to sign the contract. After signing it, they waited in the reception room and didn't go to the listening room, so they didn't know what happened later.
Just now, when Wen Zhiyuan sent the two out, he was simply very polite.
It could even be said to have reached the point of flattery.
This made Lu Xi feel very strange. The change in attitude of the head of the brokerage department of EMI was too big.
Lu Chen chuckled and briefly explained the grievances between Wen Zhiyuan and Zhang Qiong.
This was what Wen Zhiyuan himself told Lu Chen.
After listening, Lu Xi suddenly realized: "It turns out to be like this. Others say that the workplace is dangerous, it's really …"
She couldn't help shaking her head.
Lu Chen has always been unwilling to sign a contract with other big companies, and even declined the personal invitation of the music director of Flying Stone Records. At that time, she more or less didn't understand. Now that she thought about it, Lu Chen's choice was really right.
EMI definitely can't be compared with Flying Stone Records, and the internal intrigue is also so fierce. If she and Lu Chen entered Flying Stone Records, she didn't know what kind of situation they would face.
Lu Xi has a strong personality and doesn't like to fight with others.
Although Lu Chen's own studio is weak, there is no such problem at all.
The premise is that he can make so much money!
Drop! Drop!
All of a sudden, Lu Xi's cell phone in her small bag rang twice.
She took it out and looked at it, and immediately showed a happy smile: "The money from EMI has arrived!"
"So fast?"
Lu Chen was also surprised. He and Lu Xi just went out, and the money caught up with them. Isn't the efficiency too high?
The originally signed contract stipulated that the payment should be completed within three days.
Lu Xi said with a smile, "It seems that they attach great importance to you!"
If they don't attach importance to it, it's impossible for the finance of EMI to allocate the money to the account so quickly.
The higher-ups must have spoken.
Lu Chen smiled. "If they want more songs in the future, we'll have to raise the price again!"
His insistence on the high-priced boutique strategy from the beginning was undoubtedly the right one. Customers like EMI, as long as they taste the sweetness, and then slowly increase the price later, they can bear it like boiling a frog in warm water.
If the price was low at the beginning, it would not be good to raise it too high all of a sudden. It would easily ruin his reputation.
Lu Xi was speechless.
She realized that she couldn't see through her brother anymore.
Beep! Beep!
His phone rang again.
Lu Xi took a closer look and smiled again. She smiled even more happily.
Lu Chen was stunned. "What?"
Lu Xi waved her phone and said proudly, "The bonus from Beijing Television has arrived, 1.4 million yuan!"
Lu Chen won the championship of "Singing China". Although he gave up 4 million yuan of so-called new star training fund, the total cash reward was still as high as 1.4 million yuan, and it was after tax.
However, the money was not immediately received at that time, and the satellite TV also needed to go through the procedures.
Now that it has arrived, it's just double happiness!
Lu Chen was even happier and said without hesitation, "Then transfer one million yuan to Mom first, and let's go buy a car."
He shouted to the taxi driver in front of him, "Sir, please take us to Jingguan Auto City."
Lu Xi didn't know whether to laugh or cry: "Is there a need to be in such a hurry?"
It's no problem to send money to his mother, but it's too much of a rush to buy a car now.
Lu Chen said with a smile, "It's all the same to buy it sooner or later. It's just right to buy it now."
Since the establishment of the studio, several staff members have been recruited, and the daily work has gradually become busy. It's really inconvenient to have no car to travel, and it also delays time.
Time is money. He has long wanted to buy a car, and was waiting for the bonus from Beijing Television to arrive.
Since Lu Chen has made up his mind, Lu Xi has no objection.
After all, the studio relies on him to make money, and now that he has made so much money, buying a car is not a big deal.
Lu Xi thought for a moment and said, "Then I will call Li Feiyu. He used to work in the 4S store, and he must know the business."
Lu Chen nodded: "Okay!"
When they arrived at Jingguan Auto City, Li Feiyu was already waiting at the gate.
The 4S store where he used to work was in Auto City, and he is absolutely familiar with the road. There is no reason for him to be cheated.
Seeing Lu Chen and Lu Xi, Peter Pan ran over with a smile and asked eagerly, "Da Chen, you are finally going to buy a car. I have been looking forward to this day. Have you thought about what car to buy?"
He is Lu Chen's assistant, and the car must be bought by him.
Lu Chen said, "We don't need to buy a good car, not a luxury car, just an economical one."
"As for the price …"
He thought for a moment and said, "About 200,000 yuan. Help me have a look."
"200,000 yuan?"
Li Feiyu scratched his head and said, "At this price, then choose a domestic compact SUV, a gasoline-electric hybrid. The state subsidies are very high. Not only is it fuel-efficient, but the configuration is equivalent to an imported car of 400,000 yuan."
Lu Chen said with a smile, "You are the expert. I will listen to you."
He got a driver's license when he was 18 years old and drove his family's car. He liked cars, but he didn't know much about them.
His career has just started, so there is no need to buy a good car, but it can't be too bad.
A high-quality domestic car should be a good choice.
Lu Xi said, "Then you go ahead and choose first. I'll go to the bank and finish the transfer."
So they parted ways. Lu Chen followed Li Feiyu to wander around Car City to choose a car, and looked at several shops in a row.
Finally, they came to the 4S store of Zhonghua Automobile.
A white SUV placed in front of the door immediately attracted Lu Chen's attention.
The shape of this car is very good. The appearance is atmospheric and exquisite. The split front face and arc headlights are perfectly integrated, giving people a feeling of power.
Li Feiyu recognized it at a glance: "Zhonghua X7? This new car has already been on the market! "
As soon as the two stood in front of the new car, a salesperson from the 4S store immediately came to introduce it to them enthusiastically.
This Zhonghua X7 is a new urban SUV that has just been launched by Zhonghua Automobile. It is an environmentally friendly gasoline-electric hybrid. It combines a number of the latest technologies and has quite high technical content.
In addition to the efficient and fuel-efficient power system, its configuration is also very good. It has front and rear radars, intelligent cruise, on-board computer, panoramic skylight, leather seats and so on, and the interior space is spacious enough.
The biggest feature of gasoline-electric hybrid is fuel-saving. The fuel consumption of 100 kilometers is very low. Of course, there is a gap between the power performance and traditional power, but Lu Chen does not race or go off-road. It is enough to run in the city.
The most important thing is that the safety configuration of this car is in place. The frame is strong and material, and it is equipped with six airbags.
If Lu Xi drives it, he can rest assured.
In addition, among domestic cars, Zhonghua is a well-known brand, and its quality has always been reliable.
As for the price, it is 190,000 to 290,000 according to the configuration.
For this new car, Li Feiyu was full of praise, and Lu Chen was also very satisfied, so he asked the salesperson to arrange a test drive and drove Zhonghua X7 around Car City.
When he drove back to the 4S store, Lu Xi also came over.
Her sister has no requirements for the car, as long as Lu Chen likes it. She and Li Feiyu bargained the price together.
Lu Chen finally decided to buy a comfortable configuration. After subsidies, the price of the naked car was 245,000. In the end, the price of the car was not reduced, but the 4S store added about 20,000 worth of interior and service, and small gifts.
The price of the whole car plus insurance and purchase tax and other expenses was 263,000.
After paying by card on the spot, they applied for insurance and temporary license plates, and directly took out the new car from the 4S store.
In the middle of the time, the three also had a late lunch together.
The color of the car was white. Lu Xi was very satisfied except that she was a little worried that it would get dirty easily.
The three of them went back together and drove this new car.
The driver was Li Feiyu. Lu Chen saw that he liked this car very much, so he generously gave up the right to drive.
Li Feiyu drove the new car on the overpass in high spirits and said, "Da Chen, now that you have a studio and a car, you can consider buying a house in Beijing. How can a big star live in the office!"
LuChen gave up his original single apartment to his sister, and he has been living in the studio.
He was going to find another small apartment near the park.
As for buying a house by himself …
Lu Chen said with a wry smile, "I really can't afford a house in Beijing now. Let's talk about it in a few years."
His first consideration was to pay off all his family's debts. Buying a house was really a long time in the future.
Although Lu Chen is making a lot of money now, according to his own estimation, if there is no accident, it will take at least next year to pay off his family's debts.
However, compared with the despair that could not be paid off in a lifetime before, now it is already a great happiness.
As for buying a house, the house in Beijing is the highest in the country, and the average price is almost breaking through the sky.
He has just earned more than one million yuan. Even if he doesn't use all of it to buy a house, he can choose a new house in a good location. It is far from enough for the down payment!
It is said that the biggest dream of many third or fourth-tier star artists is to save enough money to buy a suite in Beijing's Fifth Ring Road.
The income of third or fourth-tier artists is not too bad, but the usual expenses are also high. Buying a house is really a luxury.
Li Feiyu sighed, "Yes, the house is too expensive. I have to go home sooner or later."
Lu Chen said with a smile, "Are you going back with Xiaomei sister?"
Li Feiyu smiled.
Since Chen Xiaomei started working in the studio, Li Feiyu's pursuit seemed to have some results.
They talked and laughed all the way, and they were about to arrive at the park.
At this time, Lu Chen's phone rang.
It was ChenJianhao who called. He asked Lu Chen to go to a teahouse in the university town.
So Lu Chen asked Li Feiyu to drive to the studio first, and then drove to the place ChenJianhao said.
When they found the place, it was already 2 o 'clock in the afternoon.
