musicians of old

Chapter 604 "Housing Agency"

"Oh, do you know Mr. Fanning? What's your name?"

In the discouraging atmosphere of the exchange, a dramatic and unexpected episode suddenly appeared. Although Sheeran was sympathetic, she still felt a little bit unable to help laughing, so she asked a question.

At the same time, she secretly glanced at the person next to her.

Fan Ning still looked straight ahead, as if he didn't hear those words at all.

"I grew up in Uflandsel. My name is Andre." The boy forced a smile, "My sister used to be a soprano lead singer in the choir affiliated with the old symphony orchestra."

"That's great. Did you come from the Art Aid Program?" Xilanyao gave a thumbs up.

"Well, she has been dead for almost a year."

".Sorry news. It is said that the first batch of children who came in were both lucky and unfortunate children."

"You are indeed the superiors of the Turner Cinema Chain," Andre said, "from the Motraun Regional Branch, or from the higher-level Eagles County Branch."

Sheeran smiled noncommittally, which seemed to Andre an admission of their own identity.

"What about you?" Xilan then asked.

"Me?" Andre's voice lowered, and his narration was intermittent. "I was born and raised in Uvransell, and then returned to the countryside after my parents died two years ago and my sister died a year ago."

"Oh, I also participated in the Turner Arts Cinemas' Music Aid program, four times in two years. The first year was at Ufland Sale. Later, the quota was expanded, and I went to the county branch of Eagles. Although my talent is somewhat poor, I was not able to be selected as I wished. The word 'talent' is really cruel. For individuals who have it, and for the protagonists in legendary novels, talent is what they are born with. We need a judgment and a declaration. What can people who don’t have one do? Can they live again?”

"I am very convinced that I lost. Not everyone who signed up for the 'Music Aid' program came from a prominent family. Everyone went into battle naked. Moreover, I am not too young. If it had been five years earlier, maybe those conditions would have been better." A 14-year-old would be more tolerant."

Sheeran fell into silence.

The "Music Relief" plan sounds very good, but in the final analysis it is still a "plan".

Where there is selection, there will be elimination. This is a very realistic problem.

Turner Art Hall does not have unlimited resources, and the Capron Arts Fund does not have unlimited income. Currently, after the establishment of a chain of theaters, those with the conditions to carry out the "Music Relief" program can only be extended to the county level.

The direction of future efforts is to continue to expand the number of places.

When there are fewer places, the selection criteria will be higher, and if there are more places, the selection criteria will be lower, and the children will have more opportunities, that's all.

"However, I still want to thank Mr. Carolne Van Ning and Ms. Hamilton." Andre smiled bitterly, "Although I didn't benefit from 'Music Aid', I became 'Lonnie Kim' The indirect beneficiaries of the Asia Watch Factory case, the death of my parents and sister allowed me to receive a total of 775 pounds before returning to my hometown.”

"It's a huge amount of compensation." Xilan felt a little relieved when he heard this. "Your family is very unfortunate, but it can be regarded as protecting their rights and interests as much as possible. With this money, you can marry a man in the countryside." Wife, it shouldn’t be a problem to do some easy work, live within your means, support a few children, and live a peaceful life.”

"You are right, respectable and beautiful young lady." Andre lowered his head and grabbed his curly hair with one hand, "Before we left, the gentlemen and ladies of the Monroe Law Firm also repeatedly told me the same thing. "

"But you know, after seeing those art holy places that I yearn for so much, after seeing my sister's posture under the flashlight in the distance, and after leaving the prosperous Ufranser, my mentality now is like a gambler! "

"I don't think I can just let the rest of my life sink into the fields! If you can't become an artist, then become a small art practitioner, be with music all day long, and be in contact with lovable people. Let's discuss They are all endearing topics, even if you live in a small town, it is an extremely wonderful thing."

Sheeran frowned, thinking of Andre's experience and the inheritance of more than 700 pounds, she seemed to know what the other person was thinking.

This young man seems to want to use this inheritance to invest!

Turner Arts Cinemas' current corporate structure is three-level: "Headquarters - Counties - Districts/Small Towns".

The investment, construction, and operation of the art museums in the lower blocks/towns are directly responsible for the art museums in the urban areas/small towns, that is, the third-level subsidiaries.

But there are too many neighborhoods and small towns. For example, in Uflandsel County, there are only 25 towns in the jurisdiction of the small town of Gogol. Even the East Meckln District in the urban area has 11 towns. Neighborhood coverage is naturally limited. In the Northern Continent, the completion rate of small town art museums is now only 30%, and investment recruitment work has been carried out on a regular basis.

But

"From a commercial profit perspective, Turner Arts Cinemas is definitely not the most ideal investment project."

Sheeran gave a friendly reminder.

Not only is Andre's background unsuitable for taking investment risks, but also because Turner Arts Cinemas' operating philosophy has too many elements of universality and public welfare.

Discussing profits is a matter for art halls in county-level cities and is not a level that these low-level investors can reach.

Like most art museums in small cities, which are third-level subsidiaries, they rely on a considerable proportion of funding from higher-level companies to maintain balance of payments.

However, funding is not allocated to you casually. There is a series of strict performance appraisal systems and operational evaluation standards.

The assessment of "popularity" alone is difficult.

Even a small art studio in a town not only has to bear the cost of land, housing, hardware maintenance, etc., but it also has to hire many instructors and country musicians on a part-time basis.

"I know, but..."

Andre had nothing to say; everything he wanted to say had been expressed.

And these days, keywords such as "site selection", "agreement", and "plan" have indeed been swirling in his mind.

Sometimes, with some kind of juvenile tragic romantic fantasy, I also imagined the sad scene after my investment failed and went bankrupt due to chasing a great dream.

"Have you finished choosing a location? Do you want a house?"

Suddenly, Fan Ning turned around and spoke.

"Huh?" "What?"

Sheeran was stunned, and so was Andre.

"After listening to it, there is a house in the neighboring town that quite meets your needs."

Fan Ning said, holding up the complete set of real estate and land procedures documents that he had just dug out not long ago, facing Andre.

". Located in the Dolometz Mountains, a national scenic spot, it is a small duplex villa with beautiful scenery and convenient transportation. It is fully decorated, transparent from north to south, surrounded by lakes on three sides, fully furnished, ready to move in, with complete procedures for surrounding land use, and a high degree of freedom for renovation and expansion. , the fixed price is 200 pounds, and after today’s transaction, we will get an additional ‘Personrove’ brand baby grand piano worth 400 pounds in the room.”

"."

"."

"That." Andre was stunned by a lot of high-density information.

He choked on his saliva and asked tentatively: "Aren't you two the bosses of the Mertraun regional branch of Turner Cinema Chain?"

Why did you start selling?

In the early days, theater companies seemed to only be responsible for things like fund source review, faculty inspection, investment contract signing, and facility completion acceptance, right?

"The boss of the theater company? I never told you."

Fan Ning sounded a little confused.

"We are from a real estate agency. Do you want a house?"
