Chapter 248 Competition

Wang Ye said goodbye, and Liu Rong stood up and sent him out.

While the two were saying goodbye, a young man and woman came from a distance. There was only Liu Rong's office on the corridor. Looking at the direction they were walking, they should be looking for Liu Rong.

When the two young men and women saw Liu Rong talking to Wang Ye, they stood a little far away and did not come.

Wang Ye said goodbye to Liu Rong, walked towards the stairs, and nodded to them with a smile when he passed by the young man and woman.

These two people are about in their early 20s, younger than Wang Ye. The boy is tall and handsome, and the girl is pretty and cute. Judging from her clothes and dressing, she should be from a rich family.

Because Wang Ye glanced over, he saw Richard Miller's watch on the boy's wrist, Cartier's iconic leopard head diamond pendant necklace on the girl's neck, and the crocodile leather platinum bag held in his hand.

The two of them also nodded to Wang Ye friendly, and only walked towards Liu Rong after Wang Ye left.

"Uncle Liu, who is that young man?" the girl asked Liu Rong curiously.

"Oh, he is... Ye Wang." Liu Rong almost said Wang Ye's name casually. Fortunately, he remembered Wang Ye's request just now.

"Ye Wang?" The girl frowned and thought for a while. Xiangjiang didn't seem to have such a person. Her surname was Ye, but except for her family, Xiangjiang had no other big family surnamed Ye.

"Yezi, stop guessing. I guess Ye Wang should have come from the mainland. It's normal that you haven't heard of it." The boy next to him said with a smile.

"Ye~? Cousin, how do you know that he came from the mainland?" Ye Zi asked in surprise.

"Just just now I vaguely heard him talking to Uncle Liu, and his accent was very standard Mandarin, so..." my cousin explained with a smile.

"Haha, Liu Zhi, you're right. Ye Wang is indeed from the mainland. He also signed up for this year's MBA and international business administration class, just like you." Liu Rong explained, and then let Liu Zhi and Ye Zi enter the office.

Liu Zhi and Ye Zi are cousins. Both families are rich and wealthy families in Xiangjiang. Their fathers and Liu Rong are also family friends, so they call them Uncle Liu Rong.

Because Xiangjiang is relatively small, it is just a city, so those with some wealth and status basically have friendships with each other.

"The mainland also comes to study at the Hong Kong University Business School? It's quite rich." Liu Zhi said.

"Oh, Ye Wang is an executive of a large company in Pengcheng, and he has made it through his own efforts." Liu Rong explained briefly.

"Wow, so awesome? I think Ye Wang is very handsome and has the ability. I will get to know him well after school starts, hehe." Ye Zi said with a giggle.

When Liu Zhi heard this, he felt a little uncomfortable. It was nothing else. Don’t young people like to compete. His cousin said that others are handsome and capable, so he will inevitably feel good.

He said sourly: "Aren't you just a worker? When he graduates, I'll just recruit him to my company and give him a million-dollar annual salary. I don't believe him and he won't be moved!"

Liu Rong smiled and said nothing.

...

On the way back to Pengcheng, Wang Ye received a call from his sister Wang Xiaofei.

"Xiaoye, are you in Pengcheng recently? Are you busy with work?"

Wang Xiaofei also knew that Wang Ye was busy with business and was flying around at any time, so she first asked if he was in Pengcheng.

"It's okay, I'm not very busy. I haven't gone out during this period in Pengcheng. What's wrong with me?" Wang Ye replied.

"Xiao Ni recently had a concert in Pengcheng. If you have time, you can support it. It's not easy for them to make musicians. It seems that the tickets for the concert are not selling well." Wang Xiaofei said tactfully.

She lives with Yan Ni, of course she knows the situation.

Although Yan Ni is not old, she is still well-known in the domestic cello performance circle.

A national first-class performer, lecturer at the School of Music of Magic University, visiting professor at the Music Affiliated High School, cello player of the Magic City Symphony Orchestra, etc.

He can be called a genius cellist.

But pure music has no market, and cello is not as popular as piano. Although many people don’t understand, they will also listen to a piano concert from time to time with art.

As for cello concerts, few people go to listen to them.

This concert was quite critical. It was a performance in which Yan Ni and another cellist in Modu City competed for the status of chief cellist of the Magic City Symphony Orchestra.

Don’t think that musicians or teachers don’t have competition, as their competition is also very fierce.

Evaluating professional titles requires competition, and the status within the circle requires competition, and even the order of appearance at a concert is also given particular attention.

Just like the title of the chief cello player of this symphony orchestra, it means that there are many things that can get this title, so you have enough confidence to say that you are the number one cello player in the Magic City.

In this way, whether it is a professional title evaluation or a performance abroad, the treatment will be different.

Yan Ni and another competitor, Liu Mu, are similar in terms of conditions and have similar strengths, otherwise there would be no competition.

It is also difficult for the leaders of the group to make a choice. In the end, I can only say that I can leave the choice to the audience and let the market make the choice.

Although the symphony orchestra is an elegant art, no matter how elegant it is, it still has to be eaten. The salary of so many people in the group is paid every month.

Although there are subsidies in the city, the subsidies are just basic wages. If you want to get more, what should you rely on? Of course, it depends on one concert after another.

Although the symphony orchestra is relatively niche, and the audience is probably only 200 to 300 people in a concert, the ticket price is not low and you can still make a lot of money.

In the first half of this year, the group planned four concerts, including the Capital, Magic City, Yangcheng, Pengcheng, and four first-tier cities, one for each city.

It just so happened that the battle for the chief cello in the group was decided. There were four concerts, Yan Ni and competitor Liu Mu, each of whom, took on two games, and then it depends on the ticket sales.

Those who sell more tickets win, fair and reasonable, and are free from deception.

After all, Liu Mu is older and knows more tricks than Yan Ni. She chose the Magic City Field and the Yangcheng Field first, leaving the Capital Field and Pengcheng Field to Yan Ni.

The demons are all base camps, of course the attendance rate will be higher, and she can also attract some relatives, friends and students to support her.

There is no way to choose Yangcheng without choosing the capital. After all, it is impossible to choose both the best markets of the Capital Demon Capital. That would be too bullying and the group would not agree.

So you can only choose one more from Pengcheng, Yangcheng. In comparison, Yangcheng is of course better than Pengcheng.

To be honest, young people listen to symphony less often, and most listeners are still older.

There are more people like Yangcheng, while Pengcheng is a city dominated by young people, so Liu Mu chose Yangcheng.

Now three performances have ended, Liu Mu's two have been completed, Yan Ni's capital concert has also ended, and only Pengcheng concert is left.

During the Magic City concert, Liu Mu was really working hard and activated all her relationships, and promoted relatives and friends many times.

Of course, she couldn't buy all the tickets and give them to others, and then support them. Although that was very effective, she couldn't bear it financially.

Tickets for this kind of concert are indeed not low.

Take the Magic City Concert Hall for example. It is held in the Magic City Concert Hall, with a 600-person concert hall. The starting price is 240 yuan, and the further up is 360 yuan, 580 yuan, 1160 yuan, and 3680 yuan!

The seats with a minimum of 240 yuan and 360 yuan account for about 40%. This kind of seat is also the best seller, and in most cases it can be sold.

But it will be more difficult to sell after a few steps, unless the symphony orchestra you play is very famous.

If these two performances are performed by "Dresden National Symphony Orchestra" and "Vienna Philharmonic Orchestra", there is no need to say, they will definitely be full!

Even many celebrities and wealthy people who never listen to concerts will come to support them. Nothing else, these two symphony orchestras are too famous.

But there are no ones who come to support the Demon City Symphony Orchestra. The listeners who come to listen are all real music lovers. Obviously, people like this will not spend too much money to sell more expensive tickets.

...

After Liu Mu's efforts, he always increased the attendance rate to 70%, which was a very good result. More than 400 tickets were sold for 600 tickets, although she bought them for gifts to others by herself.

The concert at Yan Ni at the Capital Concert Hall was normal. The concert hall of 500 people sold more than 40% of the tickets, of course, were relatively low-priced tickets, with 220 listeners present.

Liu Mu's Yangcheng concert was similar, with an attendance rate of less than 40%, and 200 people attended.

After the three concerts, Liu Mu was very happy. She felt that she was almost sure to win. In Pengcheng, although the concert hall was beautiful and large, with 800 seats, the attendance rate of concerts has always been unsatisfactory.

It is estimated that the attendance rate this time would be 20% or 30%. If Yan Ni wants to catch up with her, she needs to have an attendance rate of more than 50%, which is obviously impossible!

Yan Ni herself also realized this problem, so she was not in a good mood these days. After seeing it, Wang Xiaofei asked her what was going on.

It was rare to find someone to tell me about the grievances in my heart, so Yan Ni told Wang Xiaofei all the time.

If it is a battle openly, then if you lose, you will lose. However, Liu Mu obviously won this time, and the attendance rate of the Magic City game was obviously problematic. How could it be as high as 70%!

Yan Ni is not stupid either, of course she knows what's going on.

When Wang Xiaofei heard this, she smiled: "Isn't there a Pengcheng concert? That's our home court!"

Yan Ni didn't react for a moment. She rarely went to Pengcheng and had no relatives and friends there. How could she say it was her home court?

"Did you forget where my brother Wang Ye opened a company in?" Wang Xiaofei said with a smile.

"Ah? Yes, Wang Ye is in Pengcheng." Yan Ni suddenly realized.
