Please, come home and practice the piano

Chapter 1020 280. Don’t be anxious, Principal Li invested !

After making an appointment with Sister Zhang to view the house at 7:30 in the evening, Li An and Chen Xuan brought their own shoe covers and went to Building 38.

When Li An sent a message to Sister Zhang in the afternoon, he thought the other party's house was in Building 36.

Unit 801:.

When Li An and his companion got out of the elevator, they found that the entrance door on the left was open.

“Is this 801?”

As Chen Xuan was asking, Sister Zhang appeared from inside the door.

"I just got here too." Sister Zhang invited them into the house. "No need to change your shoe covers. This house has been empty for two months. The floor is covered in dust."

It's been empty for two months?

"fine."

Li An and Chen Xuan put on shoe covers and followed Sister Zhang into the house.

Li An is already familiar with the various housing types in the community.

He took a quick tour of the house and found it was exactly the same as the one he had first seen online.

Indeed, compared with the three-bedroom apartment with a construction area of ​​118 square meters, this apartment has advantages, but it is not as exaggerated as Sister Zhang said in WeChat.

After living on the first floor for a long time, Li An thought that the view from the eighth floor would be wider, but the result was not what he expected.

The decoration is a big plus. You can tell that the family lives here in a very meticulous manner. If you don't look closely, the walls are quite white.

"How about it?"

"Very good, very good. You took a lot of trouble to decorate it."

In fact, it can only be said to be okay. Li An felt that it was not much better than the two similar apartments he saw online.

It’s mainly the floor. Li An and Chen Xuan both want to buy a mid- to high-end floor.

Sister Zhang: "It's OK. The renovation cost about 300,000 yuan, not counting the appliances."

Li An nodded: "It's not outdated to watch it now."

Sister Zhang laughed: "Actually, it's a bit expensive to enclose the balcony, but it feels like a waste of space if it's not enclosed."

Li An: "The balcony was given by the developer."

Sister Zhang: "Yes, and the north bedroom as well. We smashed the outer wall and filled it with reinforced concrete, so this is considered an extra piece."

The two followed him to the north bedroom, and Li An understood immediately: "I said that from the outside, some windows were sealed and some air conditioners were placed outside. It turns out that this area was expanded."

Ms. Zhang: "In fact, private expansion is not allowed in this area. At that time, the property certificates could not be obtained, and some owners insisted on expanding. The property management did not say anything. After a few families did it, everyone around followed suit. So now you can see that most of the first batch of owners have done it."

Chen Xuan: "It's really nice. It feels like there's an extra small study room."

"Do you think this house is okay?" Sister Zhang said with a smile.

Li An laughed along, but didn't respond, "Very good."

Sister Zhang really didn't think about what to say to Li An, and said directly: "When I asked you to come and take a look when you have time that day, my wife and I hadn't made up our minds yet. We decided to sell it last night. It just so happens that you also want to buy a house. If you are considering buying a house nearby, you can really discuss this house. You don't have to touch the decoration. You can move in after a little modification and renovation. It will save you some time."

Li Anxin said that he quite liked this sister's straightforward personality, and told the truth: "Does buying your house come with a parking space?"

Sister Zhang smiled and said, "As long as the price is acceptable to you, a parking space will be provided for you!"

Li An followed with a smile: "Let's not talk about the parking space for now, let's just talk about this house. You name a price and we'll take it into consideration."

Sister Zhang: "If you buy it together, it will be 260 with the parking space, and 235 for just the house."

When Li An heard the price, he did some calculations in his mind. The price quoted for the parking space that day was 260,000 yuan. "You can only give me a discount of 10,000 yuan if we buy it together."

Sister Zhang curled her lips: "This decoration is half given to you."

Chen Xuan was about to speak when Li An interrupted her and said, "Yes, the decoration of this house is indeed good."

Sister Zhang said, "If you buy a house with unenclosed north and south balconies, the decoration alone will be a huge expense."

Li An nodded: "Okay, you've made another trip, let's do this for now, tell me in advance if you sell the parking space."

Seeing that Li An had no further contact, Zhang was unsure whether her offer was too high or Li An was not interested. "You're welcome. I just came here to clean up a little. The agent will come to shoot VR in a couple of days."

If you want to shoot VR, you should do it. Who can see it if you don’t post it online?

After leaving Building 38, Teacher Xiaomi started complaining.

"Why didn't she go and grab it? She even gave you half of the decoration. Who would care about her crappy decoration? Why didn't you confront her about the decoration issue just now?"

Li An: "Oh, what she said is true. If I install it myself, it won't be more expensive than her quote."

Chen Xuan: "Aren't we going to reinstall?"

Li An: "Of course it's going to be renovated. We just want to take a look at the apartment. There's no need to say anything more to her. Anyone who sells a house will definitely quote a higher price at the beginning. It's the same, except that we didn't bargain."

Chen Xuan: "You didn't respond to her in the end, and she was stunned for a moment."

Li An laughed: "Why take it? I can see she's not in a hurry to sell it. We can't afford to waste time. Besides, I really don't like this floor."

Chen Xuan: "If she really quoted this price online, no one would even ask. The two other houses with the same apartment type as hers have been listed for more than half a year, and they have even lowered their prices."

Li An: "So I told her not to worry. Okay, let's go to Unit 1 tomorrow morning to have a look."

Through the security guard Lao Liu, Li An found another owner who wanted to sell his house. It also had three bedrooms, but was 118 square meters.

At 8:30 the next morning, the two went to take a look at Unit 1 in Building 45.

Although the apartment layout is not good, the view from the 15th floor is obviously much wider.

The decoration was average and the landlord quoted a price of 2.2 million. Li An said he would think about it when he got home.

There is nothing to consider, unless it is 1.8 million, Ang Lee will consider it.

Although this household has expanded both the north and south balconies, the south balcony is obviously not shorter than the south balcony of the 126-square-meter house and is not even the length of a second bedroom window.

It would have been fine if there was no comparison, but now with the real scene comparison, Ang Lee prefers the three-bedroom 126.

Unless someone offers him 118 million for a three-bedroom apartment in square meters.

After lunch, Chen Xuan took a nap and continued to practice the flute in the afternoon. Li An went to Sigang for a meeting and took Qiao Zhizhi's class.

"Teacher, do I need to bring a costume for the night of the 13th?"

"No, it's just like our previous rehearsal."

"Okay, teacher. See you on the 14th!"

"See you on the 14th!"

The teacher and the student just came down from the second floor and met Wang Xiaohu, who was standing next to the water bar with a smug look on his face.

Qiao Zhizhi: "What's wrong with you?"

Wang Xiaohu: "I'm fine."

Qiao Zhizhi: "Goodbye, teacher!"

Li An: "Zhizhi, please be safe on the road."

"Bye!" Qiao Zhizhi paused as she passed by Wang Xiaohu, "See you on the 14th."

Wang Xiaohu: "Yeah."

As soon as Qiao Zhizhi left, Wang Xiaohu came up to her and said with a sly smile, "Teacher, don't you want to check your phone?"

Ang Lee chuckled, "There's no creativity in this film."

Wang Xiaohu: “Did you see it?”

Li An: “Nonsense.”

Wang Xiaohu: "Don't like my post!"

Li An: "Go away. If you keep showing off, I won't teach you." Wang Xiaohu: "Omitted."

After Xiaoche posted the message on WeChat Moments that day, Wang Xiaohu saw that the teacher had actually driven the car back. The key point was that he didn’t even know about it!
Is this little tiger capable?! He sent a message to the teacher, but the teacher just ignored him! So he went to the teacher's underground garage to look for it himself, but after searching for several times, he still couldn't find the windshield interior that Che Lin had seen in her circle of friends.

The key point is that his mother didn’t tell him what car the teacher bought.

As soon as I arrived this afternoon, I saw the new car at the door. It is worthy of being the teacher’s car. To describe it, I can only use one word: just like him, handsome!
"Teacher, when can I ride in your car?!"

"It depends on my mood."

With a slight sound, Wang Xiaohu ran up to the second floor first.

Wang Wenyang and Liu Zhaocheng were the only two people left in the conference room. Li An went in and greeted everyone, then went back to the second floor to give Wang Xiaohu a lesson.

Although it only lasted twenty minutes, it was enough for Wang Xiaohu to digest.

When the get out of class was over, Li An threw a sheet of music in front of Wang Xiaohu and said, "Finish playing this sheet this semester."

Wang Xiaohu picked it up and saw that it was Burgmuller. He nodded and said, "Try for it."

Li An smiled: "Okay, I know how to be humble now."

Wang Xiaohu: "Of course."

Li An: "You should play this book faster now. You don't have to practice every piece to 100 points. An average of 70 is enough. Accumulate more small sentences in it. Understand?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Yeah."

Ang Lee: "I heard from Teacher Qin that you have found some feeling for Bach's four-part chorus."

Wang Xiaohu: “It feels more and more complicated.”

Ang Lee: "How complicated can music be?"

Wang Xiaohu: "Teacher, I mean the music is getting more and more complicated."

Ang Lee: "Score is visual music, music is auditory score, is there a difference?"

Wang Xiaohu was slightly stunned. Yes!

"Don't think the problem in front of you is so difficult. It's not your hard time yet. Come on."

After saying this, Li An went downstairs to the meeting room.

Wang Xiaohu, who was left in classroom No. 4, did not rush to open the Burgmüller, but took out the scores of four choral parts from his schoolbag.

Brother Xiaohu’s inspiration came again.
-
After everyone's unremitting efforts and coordination, we finally managed to win over the majority of the children.

From 6pm to 8pm on the 14th and 15th, two shifts over two days, the venue is Shu Ren Concert Hall.

Li An and Xu Li called everyone to a meeting today for another matter, enrollment for the new semester.

Spring recruitment is indeed new to everyone.

Or it was the first time they heard about the spring recruitment.

Xu Li had already briefly explained it to everyone. Li An returned to the meeting room and took over Xu Li's words and asked, "Who can't spare the time to speak up in advance?"

Everyone looked at each other, and for a moment no one understood what Li Ang meant.

Li An sat down, looked around and said with a smile: "Everything is fine?"

Zhang Miao: "I have no problem."

Xu Hongxin: "That's fine with me too."

Liang Yudan: "No problem."

Wang Wenyang: “No problem.”

Li An looked at Liu Zhaocheng, who was a little embarrassed: "Brother An, I have a graduation concert soon."

"That's not a problem," Li An directly reassured Liu Zhaocheng, "The time conflict will definitely be mainly due to the concert, and it will only be for a while. If it really doesn't work out, you can find someone to replace you."

Liu Zhaocheng: "Thank you, Brother An, I have no problem then."

Li An: "No problem, then let's talk about this enrollment plan. This time we will only recruit wind instruments."

Only recruiting wind instruments?

Xu Hongxin: "What about the piano?"

Li An: "We will no longer recruit piano players. We will focus on recruiting wind instruments. Our goal is to recruit 80 people."

Eighty people!
Liu Zhaocheng: "We just finished recruiting last semester, I'm afraid we'll have to recruit this semester."

Xu Hongxin: "I don't think it's a big problem. Our program last semester was so hard."

Liang Yudan: "Brother An, is our club the only one recruiting new members this semester?"

Ang Lee: "Yes."

Wang Wenyang: "Then I think it will be no problem. If it's just us, then on average we can recruit 15 people per section and that will be enough."

Zhang Miao: “Percussion”

Xiaoyun: “Percussion was the instrument with the highest registration rate last semester.”

Everyone looked over.

Xiaoyun looked at the computer page and continued, "According to the enrollment statistics of last semester, a total of ten parents called to inquire about percussion music in the late stage of enrollment, and the number of students who finally signed up for the class was seven."

Wang Wenyang: "Wow, 70 percent!"

Xiaoyun continued, "On the contrary, the flute section, which has the most new students, has an actual enrollment rate of less than 40%, only 38.5%."

When everyone heard about the data comparison, they immediately came up with some ideas.

Xu Hongxin said that although the data is like this, there are definitely more children who like flute than those who like percussion instruments. The base number is there.

So this comparison is not objective at all.
Regarding the data reported by Xiaoyun, several people basically thought of this point at the first time.

Of course, no one questioned the data, but Xiaoyun is not a relevant practitioner after all, so it is inevitable that he will say some layman's words.

Everyone looked at Li An, but what they got was Li An's affirmation: "This data can already explain the problem."

what?
Li An knows what everyone is thinking. "Data won't lie. At least when facing data, we should consciously abandon the intuition of industry insiders."

Data won't lie, and we should abandon the intuition of industry insiders. Xiaoyun really appreciates these two sentences from Ang Lee, as this is the insight that a leader should have.

Li An went on to say, “The data is right here. Why can’t we think from a different perspective? Why can’t we find a way to let more children see the wonders of percussion instruments, or ask ourselves how to increase the enrollment rate of flute students.”

As Li An finished speaking, the conference room fell silent.

That makes sense, isn’t this an effective strategy to increase enrollment?
A half-hour long discussion began.

At the end of the meeting, everyone set a small goal for themselves.

Ang Lee: "I still say this. Find a way, find a way to let the child see the difference of this instrument through you, and find a way to make the child finally choose this instrument firmly."

Everyone nodded.

Li An: "At the latest on the day you leave for Hai City, each of you should submit a plan for the recruitment of vocal parts. You can find a way, even if you need to borrow a large venue. I will coordinate with the school."

After a pause, he said, "In addition, for this enrollment, for every student who signs up for the course, I will give you a commission of 200 yuan, with no upper limit. If the total number of new students exceeds 70, I will give you another 1,000 yuan reward for each teacher present. If the total number of new students exceeds 85, I will give you another 1,000 yuan reward. If the total number of new students exceeds 100, I will give you another 2,000 yuan reward."

Crazy! What is Ang Lee trying to do?
Xu Hongxin quickly calculated that for one hundred students, the commission alone would be 20,000.

Including the bonus, each teacher gets 4,000, and there are seven people including five teachers plus Sister Xu and Sister Yun, which means 28,000!
In other words, if he can really recruit a hundred people this time, Ang Lee will have to give out nearly 50,000 yuan to everyone!
"The meeting is adjourned. All the scholars will gather at 4:30 pm on the 14th. Don't be late."

Everyone left uncomfortably, and Xiaoyun returned to the front desk with her computer to sort out the meeting minutes. Only Li An and Xu Li were left in the meeting room.

Xu Li stood up and closed the door.

moment.

"What's next?"
