Chapter 71 Open the skylight and speak eloquently

The three houses that Gu Xi looked for were all good, and Ding Ning chose two of them.

The house is located by a small park not far to the south of the school, on the sixth floor. There are not too many high-rise buildings around, and the view is fairly wide.

The house is equipped with TV, refrigerator, washing machine and other facilities, which is very suitable for an otaku like Ding Ning who often stays at home.

The landlord is very talkative. He is from Yong City, Zhejiang Province. It is close to Ding Ning's hometown, so he is a half-town fellow.

The monthly rent is 3800, which is much lower than Ding Ning's expectations. The annual payment is [-]. After Ding Ning signed the rental contract, he directly paid the one-year rent plus a two-month deposit.

Ding Ning did not rush to move, but contacted the company that handles the network, and waited until the network was opened.

After finishing all this work, it was nearly five o'clock in the afternoon, and Ding Ning had already made an appointment to meet Lin San, so Ding Ning contacted Kong Xinxin.

Kong Xinxin was with Lin San, and she asked Ding Ning and Gu Xi to go to the Bailu restaurant in People's Square first, and she and Lin San estimated that they would arrive in half an hour.

Ding Ning used to go to People's Square frequently, but he really didn't know where it was, let alone visited Bailu Restaurant.

Fortunately, Gu Xi knows.

She led Ding Ning all the way to the Egret Restaurant located on the basement floor on the east side of the People's Square. Ding Ning walked into the restaurant that he thought was a garage without looking carefully. Oh, it's quite unique.

There are posters of various folk or rock singers on the wall. In the center of the front of the restaurant, there is a small performance stage with a bunch of musical instruments on it, which should be used for band performances, but it is empty now.

In the middle of the restaurant, a small circular area was vacated, with an old piano and a simple round table inside.

There is an old-fashioned gramophone on the round table, which is playing Lin San's new album.

Lin San had already reserved a seat, and when he said he was at table 6, after learning that they were Lin San's friends, the attitude of the waiter was so humble.

Table No. 6 was on the right side of the stage against the wall, and sat down next to Gu Xi on the same side. After waiting for four, five, 10 minutes, Kong Xinxin and Lin San arrived belatedly.

"Sorry, sorry, there was a traffic jam on the road. The section of Jianshe Road just blocked us for about [-] minutes."

When Kong Xinxin arrived, she quickly apologized first.

"It's okay, there's no rush. Come on, drink a glass of orange juice to calm down the shock."

At this point, it is the rush hour for get off work, so it would be strange if there is no traffic jam.Seeing that the bangs on Kong Xinxin's forehead were covered with sweat, Ding Ning hurriedly poured her a glass of orange juice.

"Thank you." Kong Xinxin took the orange juice, but didn't drink it herself. Instead, she sat in the inner seat and handed the orange juice to Lin San.

"Thank you." Lin San was not polite, and while sitting down, he took two sips of orange juice.

Ding Ning took the opportunity to look at Lin San.

He is thin and tall, with a shaved bald head with only black hair roots, white arms and white thighs, a faint smell of cigarettes lingering around his body, and two dark circles under his eyes that look like he has stayed up all night for many years. Just looking at the image, Ding Ning can't help but think of himself when he was living in bars.

"Big star Lin, it's a pleasure to meet you."

After Lin San drank most of the glass of orange juice, he put down the glass. Ding Ning quickly extended his hand to greet Lin San.

"Happy to meet."

Lin San stretched out his hand and shook Ding Ning's hand.

This grip is like a superficial touch, it can be said that it will be withdrawn as soon as it is touched. Ding Ning, who wanted to shake it to show his friendship, was greatly surprised.

Looking at Lin San's expression and eyes, even though he wasn't cold, he was defiant, at least he didn't regard him as a friend whom he met for the first time.

Ding Ning could tell that Lin San was an arrogant master, and he didn't take him seriously.

Hao Lai can be considered a star. It is normal for ordinary people like him not to be treated equally. Ding Ning didn't take it to heart.

The waiter came over at this time and handed Lin San a menu. Lin San didn't even look at it, and ordered directly, obviously familiar with this place.

Instead, Kong Xinxin pushed the menu to Ding Ning and motioned for Ding Ning to order.

Ding Ning suddenly became curious about the relationship between Kong Xinxin and Lin San.

Judging from the way the two walked into the restaurant holding hands, the two are undoubtedly a couple, but they don't look like each other.

Because from the moment he sat down, Lin San never looked at Kong Xinxin directly, but kept looking around with erratic eyes. When ordering food and asking Kong Xinxin what he wanted to eat, his tone and eyes were also casual.

But Kong Xinxin was looking at Lin San obsessively from the beginning to the end. It was obvious that she liked Lin San.

Seeing such a scene, Ding Ning unconsciously had some misconceptions.

After ordering, the waiter left, Lin San went straight to the topic: "Is your "Nan Shan Nan" really not for sale? I can offer you a high price."

On the phone before, this matter was not discussed. Now that Lin San mentioned to buy it again, it would be easier to discuss it face to face. Ding Ning simply asked: "What price?"

Lin San took out a pack of cigarettes from his pocket, and said slowly, "5, that's okay. Generally, for a newcomer like you, a song will cost you [-] to [-]. I'm more straightforward. Since we are all friends, I It doesn't take advantage of you either."

The price of 5 is indeed not bad for a newcomer, but for Ding Ning, besides hehe, it is still hehe.

Zhao Shufeng offered him a guarantee of 20 yuan per song plus 15% of the share. He hesitated, let alone Lin San's [-] yuan, which must be a buyout price.

It is true that folk songs have limitations compared with pop songs, that is, the elements are too single, and there is not much difference between high and low quality. In this world, low quality is generally free, and high quality is charged.

Since there is not much difference, there are not many consumers who are willing to pay for high-quality sound. The commercial value of folk songs is naturally much lower than that of pop songs.

But "Nanshan South" can be called a popular song among folk songs. Even if it has been released, Ding Ning would not sell it for a mere 5 yuan.

He smiled and said, "If you treat me as a friend, then I will treat you as a friend too. Let's open the window and speak honestly. Frankly speaking, my minimum psychological price is 10 plus 15% share."

When Lin Sanyi heard Ding Ning's words, he almost didn't splash the orange juice in his hand on Ding Ning's face.

10 plus 15% share, and the lowest psychological price, what kind of master do you think you are!

I've been around for so many years, and I've never seen anyone charge me such a high price. I'm so fucking out of my mind.

"Hehe", with a sneer, Lin Sanmu said sarcastically, "little classmate, do you really not understand, or do you pretend to not understand. Your price, shouldn't it be a price you just found on the Internet, so take it seriously .”

Hearing that Lin San's tone was a bit ambiguous, for fear that the two of them would fail to negotiate a cooperation and would start arguing, Kong Xinxin hurriedly patted Lin San, and said angrily, "Speak well, he doesn't understand, you can explain it clearly to him." gone."

Lin San laughed again when he heard Kong Xinxin's words: "I didn't talk properly. I was talking to him very seriously. It's because he couldn't understand clearly. You have to figure it out."

In his previous life, he had seen all kinds of men and women in the bar. Ding Ning was a discerning person. He understood that Kong Xinxin had a deep affection for Lin San, but Lin San might not be so. Seeing his rude behavior towards Kong Xinxin, maybe it was just for fun. Play.

As a human being, one grows through experience. Ding Ning doesn't want to worry about it too much, and he only observed it for a while. Whether Lin San is really the kind of person he thinks remains to be verified.

Even if it was, he didn't really want to slap Lin San's face face to face, so as not to make things difficult for Kong Xinxin, so he said calmly: "Then let's pretend that we haven't reached an agreement, and let's talk about the cover song."
