pianist from the sea

Chapter 236 The Millionaire from the Sea
A few days later, Haicheng Jiangdong International Airport.

Fu Tiao was lying comfortably in the VIP lounge of Lufthansa Airlines, with a relaxed and cheerful expression.

A few days ago, after a long discussion with Yu Tianyou and the others, he was shocked to find that he was no longer the poor boy who was so poor that he had to live in a remote house in the suburbs without even heating even if he went to participate in the competition.

Fu Tiao just looked at his bank card in Europe.

The Warsaw Chopin Association in Poland sent Fu Tiao a total of about [-] yuan in income.

Apart from the [-] for the champion, the rest is Fu Tiao's record money.

And Deutsche Grammophon said it would pay Fu Tiao 8 yuan!
A concert cost 1 to [-] yuan, and a total of [-] concerts were played, some places were expensive and some places were cheap.

This money is deposited on Fu Tiao's card first, and will be given to Fu Tiao after Fu Tiao returns to Europe and settles down completely.

the reason is simple……

They have to pay taxes. If Fu Tiao can't come to Europe, then they will send the money directly, but Fu Tiao will come to Germany.

If it is just a simple tax payment, it is actually meaningless, so after Fu Tiao enters Germany and gets a student visa here, the tax money can actually be transferred to his account to help Fu Tiao withhold part of the tax.

This means that Fu Tiao currently only has 5 euros in hand, 8 euros scheduled, less than 1000 euros in cash, and 10 soft sister coins.

The 1000 Euros was the 3000 Euros given to him by Mr. Brotz before. He lived on this 3000 Euros for a lot of expenses in Europe, mainly for meals, but the accommodation can be reimbursed.

There are a total of 13 euros and 10 soft sister coins in hand, which is about one million soft sister coins.

When he enrolls as a postdoctoral fellow at the University of the Arts Berlin, he will still be able to get a salary and not have to pay tuition fees.

To some extent, Fu Diao basically has nothing to spend money on at present.

Unless he lost his mind and bought a house in Huaguo directly, paid a down payment and worked hard to pay for it...

Or choose to buy a house instead of renting a house in Germany.

Or if you want to become a kid from a rich family, buy yourself a luxury car and other advanced consumption.

As long as Fu Tiao himself doesn't get sick, basically the money in his hand will not become very small, especially when Fu Tiao himself has no desire to spend money.

But no matter what, he still had some spare cash in his hands.

That's why Fu Tiao took a break and booked himself a business class flight to Germany.

Perhaps because he was relatively poor before, he did not choose the business class of the direct flight, but chose to transfer.

It takes 11 hours to get to Berlin by direct flight in business first class, but the fare is almost [-] euros.

As for the transfer that Fu Diao chose, although it took a little more than 14 hours, the ticket price was only more than 1 yuan, nearly [-] soft sister coins.

You have to know that in business class, you can at least lie down and rest for a while, instead of curling up and sitting in a seat for more than ten hours without moving like economy class.

And there is another point, that is, no matter what, Fu Tiao is now considered a minor celebrity.

People who are unlucky on the road are the kind of people who will be caught asking for autographs.

Therefore, for the sake of cleanliness when he flies, he must choose a more private choice as his first choice.

Fu Tiao is different from those actors and the like. He can't make two million yuan a day casually. He has worked so hard to play for so long and only has a million cash in cash, so he can only choose to take the business class to Berlin.

Sometimes I am really inexplicably envious of those actors who can earn tens of millions without doing anything.

Fu Diao was half lying in the VIP lounge, looking at the music score in his hand, he couldn't help but think so.

But soon, he dismissed the idea.

In fact, in the final analysis, there is nothing to envy. After all, he and the group of actors are not in the same circle, and they are not even considered as colleagues.

People who get so much money may not be sure to get it.

And the money he got, every penny and penny was extremely solid and at ease.

These are all the money he earned from performing.

Although it is said that there is no box office share like Lang Liangyue's, but the money is calculated according to the number of shows, and it is not like you can get a large amount of cash casually.

Perhaps it is precisely because of the peace of mind that comes from making money that Fu Tiao is lying in the room flipping through the music scores in his hands, looking casual.

Before waiting for a long time, the flight attendant in charge of the VIP room trotted all the way to Fu Tiao's side and asked softly.

"Is this Mr. Fu Tiao? Your flight from Haicheng to Vienna is about to take off. I will take you to the boarding gate first."

After finishing speaking, she stretched out her hand and gestured to Fu Tiao.

Fu Tiao naturally did not refuse, put away the music score in his hand, put it in his carry-on luggage, and went to the boarding gate together with the flight attendant and some other VIP room passengers.

Before approaching the boarding gate, there are already several long queues waiting there.

Looking at those people, Fu Tiao's first reaction was to go to the end of the line, but soon, he smiled helplessly.

Maybe it’s because I’ve been sitting in economy class for a long time, and it’s the first time I’ve been in business class, and I forgot that business class passengers can board the plane from another place and don’t need to queue with that group of people.

He shook his head slightly, walked quickly to the boarding gate, handed over the ticket in his hand, and the staff gave it back to Fu Tiao after a beep.

"I wish you a pleasant journey."

"Thank you."

Fu Tiao smiled at him gently, turned his head and walked into the plane, and came to his seat.

A Boeing 747-8 flew from Haicheng to Frankfurt, and then an Airbus A321 flew from Frankfurt to Berlin.

而波音777-8的商务舱是一款极为经典的1-2-1的反鱼骨式商务舱。

Although there is no curtain to block it, such a view of the seat will allow passengers to communicate as little as possible, unless they deliberately run over to take a look, otherwise there will be no recognition.

This is actually pretty good. If Fu Tiao was flying on an old Lufthansa plane, he would be very uncomfortable to find out...

The business class he bought is actually no different from the economy class.

商务舱是2-2-2的一个双人座位，而经济舱则是3-5-3的多排座位。

There is still not much personal space, and you still need to sit with strangers.

After Fu Tiao sat in his seat, he looked around and couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief.

Sure enough, the privacy is barely good.

Most of the passengers in the business class were sent by various companies to run business, and some people who were not so rich, not many people recognized Fu Tiaolai.

Incredibly peaceful.

Only at this time did Fu Tiao feel that he was a little bit overwhelmed?
After all, I just won the Chopin International Piano Competition and started a tour around the world. I'm not very strong, but I have already started to regard myself as a big star, and I even have to buy business class when I go out.

He thought about it, and didn't continue to struggle. Anyway, he bought everything, so let's continue to use it. It's better to rest and lie down in the air than to curl up in the economy class.

It didn't take long for the plane to enter the level flight state, and the crew began to serve the people in the business class.

Fu Diao reached out and turned on the overhead light, then continued to take out a sheet of music from his luggage, and read it right there.

Apart from thanking the stewardess for his service, there was no other communication.

I just don't know why, the service has already ended, and the stewardess still didn't leave, but kept wandering around him, as if struggling with something.

Fu Tiao raised his head, looked at her, and asked puzzledly, "Excuse me...what's the matter?"

"Ah, no, no, it's okay, uh... actually there's still something to do..."

The flight attendant who served him glanced at the others, then walked up to Fu Tiao with a little embarrassment, and asked in a low voice.

"That...Mr. Fu Tiao, may I ask for an autograph from you? If possible, can I take a group photo?"

"Huh? Signing a group photo?"

Fu Tiao was taken aback for a moment, originally wondering if he was worrying too much, but he didn't expect someone to come over so soon, asking for his autograph.

He couldn't help being a little surprised, then shook his head slightly, and said softly.

"It's okay to sign, but it's okay to take a group photo. I don't want to attract attention."

"Really? Then it's really great! Signatures are enough! Thank you so much!"

After finishing speaking, she waved to the other stewardesses behind her, asked them to bring over an aviation notebook, and whispered to Fu Tiao.

"That... you can just sign here."

"OK, all right."

Fu Tiao nodded.

He looked at the ID badge on the chest of the flight attendant in front of him, and wrote casually.

[toXXX, work is going well, everything goes well, Fu Tiao. 】

"Is this okay?" Fu Tiao asked after handing back the notebook in his hand to the stewardess.

The stewardess obviously didn't expect Fu Tiao to pay attention to her badge, and her whole face turned red with excitement.

She restrained her inner emotions, swallowed a mouthful of saliva, and whispered harder.

"Okay, okay, that's it, Mr. Fu Tiao, thank you very much, I really like your performance very much, I happened to go to your concert in Vienna before, and I just flew to Vienna that day before I had a rest, so I went there, Mr. Fu Tiao, you played really well!"

"Thank you, thank you for your liking."

Fu Tiao smiled at her.

It's just that he didn't expect that the stewardess seemed to have made up her mind and whispered to him.

"That... Teacher Fu Tiao, can I trouble you to wait a little longer? I'll go there and I'll be back later."

"Huh?" Fu Tiao looked at her puzzled, but before he could speak, the flight attendant ran back.

I don't know who I'm communicating with.

Fu Tiao thought about it, but didn't pay much attention to it, just continued to flip through the music score in his hand.

He was flipping through some non-Chopin works.

After entering Berlin later, after he settles his place of residence in Berlin, he will go to class with the teacher.

Taking his first class, he planned to give his teacher something new, not just plain Chopin.

So he was still looking at the sheet music in his hand.

For example, the few copies he is carrying in his hand now.

Many of them were given to him by Kapustin, belonging to Kapustin's works, a set of half-jazz and half-classical works.

The second is a set of Liszt's anthology and Rachmaninoff's anthology given to him on Wednesday when he was in Haicheng.

Looking at Zhou San's kind face, Fu Diao didn't know why Zhou San gave him such a work.

but……

It's always good to have a look.

Fu Tiao quickly put aside the matter of the flight attendant before, and concentrated on the work in hand.

just didn't think...

After a few minutes, the stewardess ran back and spoke out of breath.

"Teacher Fu Tiao, well, I heard you say, do you value privacy more?"

"Yes what's the matter?"

"That's right... I'll ask our leader for you. Our first-class cabin is quite empty today, so if you don't mind, I can help you upgrade to the first-class cabin."

"what?"

Fu Tiao was dumbfounded, he never thought that the stewardess would bring him such an extremely explosive news.

What the hell?Spent business class money and went directly to first class?

This……

But before Fu Tiao spoke, the stewardess added in a low voice.

"But you can't tell others about this, and then your first-class meals and the like... are still provided according to the standard of business class, because our meals are basically distributed according to the number of people, so it is difficult to have more, especially in first class...

Although some other services will be shifted to the first class as far as possible, but some rigid things are actually the same as business class. There is no way to do this, please understand. "

"No no no..."

After hearing this, Fu Tiao was dumbfounded, and immediately waved his hand and said, "No, it's okay, it's already very good to be able to go to the first class, as for other things, it really doesn't matter."

"It's good if you understand. It's our honor to serve you."

"No, no, it's okay, you... you upgrade me, your company won't blame you for anything, right?"

"Actually, it all depends on whether there is any extra space in the place where the upgrade is made. If there is, it's not a problem to give someone like you a small opening, but you must remember not to tell others about it."

"This this……"

Fu Tiao didn't know what to say for a while, so he could only laugh helplessly.

"Okay, I see. Did you say you wanted to take a group photo before? Why don't we find a place to have a group together? Otherwise, I feel so sorry for you, and I always feel that I owe you something."

"It's okay, it's just a small convenience in the job, as long as you don't let the people around you know about it."

After that, she glanced at the other people around, and said with a smile: "Then please follow me, I will help you get your items to the front."

After that, she reached out to Fu Tiao and pointed forward.

Fu Tiao had no choice but to follow her guidance and came to the new seat in a daze.

As she said, first class does offer more privacy than economy class.

First of all, the cover on the side of the cabin can be lifted up directly, even if Fu Tiao is sitting upright, it can completely cover Fu Tiao.

In addition, there are only eight seats in the first class, and this time only two or three seats are in the front, so compared with the business class, it is quieter here.

Fu Tiao's voice did not disturb the two people in front.

The flight attendant whispered to Fu Tiao.

"Teacher Fu Tiao, the bed here has been made for you. You can go directly to sleep later. If you still want to read, you can just turn on the light in the next seat. If you need anything else, just call me."

"Okay, thank you so much."

After thanking the stewardess again, Fu Tiao sat in his seat, lying down and looking at the cabin cover above his head, feeling dazed for a while.

Originally, he just thought that he might be a little famous, and he couldn't be as bad as before, and he didn't plan to run around, so he bought a business class to hide from passers-by.

But I never thought of it...

He was still recognized.

It's fine if you recognize it, but you were actually given a chance to upgrade from business class to first class.

You must know that the price of the first-class cabin he saw at that time was more than 1 euros.

At this price, Fu Tiao would not even buy it if he was crazy.

This is equivalent to the fact that Fu Tiao's two concerts were completely for nothing, so he bought such a ticket.

And the fare that Fu Diao bought for this connecting flight was less than [-] yuan.

Is it equivalent to nearly 4 yuan for prostitution?
Isn't this almost equivalent to him giving a small concert?

Fu Tiao couldn't help but skip such a thought in his head, and then smiled slightly.

Although there is a high probability that it will be difficult to meet such an opportunity next time, but at the very least, I am not as famous as I thought. In fact, there are still people who know me.

He shook his head slightly, picked up the blindfold that was put aside, turned off the light, and fell asleep slowly.

Before long, he will be in Germany.

There are still a lot of things to do to get there.

He just thought about it, and soon fell asleep.

After an unknown amount of time, when he woke up and took off his blindfold, the plane had already stopped, and there were waves of commotion behind him.

He opened the window blankly, looked outside, and found that he was now parked near the terminal of Frankfurt International Airport.

The stewardess also stood beside Fu Tiao, looking at him with a smile.

"Mr. Fu Tiao, I was about to call you just now, but I didn't expect you to wake up. We have already arrived at Frankfurt International Airport, and your luggage has been delivered to the next plane. This is your carry-on luggage."

"Thank you."

"You're welcome, I hope we can meet again next time, I wish you a happy stay in Germany."

"Most definitely."

Fu Tiao smiled at her, went to the bathroom to tidy up a bit, came out and took a photo with her, then left the plane and walked towards the customs.

The customs in Germany are more serious than the customs in Warsaw before, just like the stereotype of the Germans.

The man took the plane ticket, passport and visa from Fu Tiao, looked Fu Tiao up and down, and asked as a matter of routine.

"Name."

"Dior Fu"

"What are you doing here?"

"study."

"What are you studying? Do you have an invitation letter from the university?"

"some."

Fu Tiao was not angry because of the bad attitude of the border inspectors, but just smiled and took out a printed invitation letter from his carry-on luggage, and said casually.

"Learning piano, I was admitted by the Berlin University of the Arts, and came to study for a musician's diploma, which is what many people often say..."

"Doctoral diploma."

　The author has never been in business class or first class before. I checked the plane the protagonist was flying for a long time, and even flipped through the seat map of the plane for a long time. The more I look at it, the more envious I am...

　　It's nice to be rich...
