Chapter 426 The Opening of Qin Chuan Musical Instruments

While Gu Xiaobai was touring in Chang'an, a store called "Di Xiao Yuan" in Dongcheng, West Street, was taking off the plaque that had been hanging for more than ten years, and replaced it with another signboard.

"Qinchuan Musical Instruments".

There are two larger floor-to-ceiling signboards outside the door. On the left is a huge character "Bai" in seal script, and on the right is a character "Chuan". These are the two series that the musical instrument store will launch soon.

The character "Bai" is a limited-edition brand that focuses on high-end lines, and each one is an absolute boutique.

The word "Chuan" is a brand that focuses on civilians and mid-range, mainly for young musicians, students and enthusiasts.

Next to these two signs, at the entrance of the store, there is also a very unaesthetic white sign: "Gu Xiaobai Acoustic Center Cooperative Unit".

The name change of "Flute and Xiaoyuan" did not hold an exaggerated ceremony. After all, the person who should be here the most is currently on tour in Chang'an and cannot be there.

A simple ceremony and a simple listing indicate that the store has changed owners.

And Dixiaoyuan's female boss was smiling and applauding in the crowd.

Starting today, she is no longer the proprietress of "Di Xiao Yuan", but the CEO of Qin Chuan Musical Instruments.

For the change of her identity, the proprietress is actually very happy.

It seems that the "Di Xiao Yuan" has a big brand, but in fact, the daily operation is not particularly good. Although the general environment is better now, the traditional Chinese musical instrument Di Xiao is relatively weak compared to Western instruments such as pianos, guitars, and violins. It is still relatively weak, with fewer people learning, and there are still some gaps in scale production and quality control.

For such a store, the daily sales volume is not high, but the cost of the store is very high.

And some time ago, the master craftsman of his own musical instrument factory was directly poached by a major musical instrument town in the south, which caused the entire factory to run poorly, and the quality of his own musical instruments plummeted.

Fortunately, at this time, Qin Chuan came to the store with his own flute. The song "Qin Chuan Love", a simple and unpretentious flute, directly conquered the proprietress and many customers.

Then, unexpectedly, Di Xiao Yuan's business exploded in an instant, turning the tide in one fell swoop.

The own musical instrument factory, which has been in a state of loss, also has funds to operate normally.

But even so, when receiving Qin Chuan's request for cooperation, the proprietress agreed to Qin Chuan's acquisition without hesitation.

As a businessman, the proprietress has been in this industry for more than ten years, and she has deeply felt some changes in the economic form.

Now except for some irreplaceable stores, all other industries are being impacted by the Internet economy.

Doing business now is no longer about competing with peers on the same street, but with peers across the country and the world.

Well-developed logistics and network, so that everything has no distance.

At this time, if there is no core competitiveness, life will not be easy.

Although the business has been booming recently, the proprietress knows very well where the boom during this period comes from.

If Qin Chuan's offer is rejected and Qin Chuan is allowed to set up another company, it means that she will not only immediately lose her previous partner, but also compete with the combination of Qin Chuan and Gu Xiaobai.

The proprietress would never want to compete with Qin Chuan and Gu Xiaobai.

So cooperation is the first priority.

The proprietress didn't even think about the acquisition, but took her own storefront and factory into the stock price, directly joined, and invested the most important funds in the production process.

A major renovation and upgrade has been carried out on the previous musical instrument factory.

If Qin Chuan was most dissatisfied with this industry before, it must be in the production process.

Qin Chuan went to participate in an exchange competition among "flate masters" in the flute industry.

Then I felt... this industry is really too backward.

Even people at the "master" level are dumbfounded in terms of professional knowledge.

The lectures of those masters talked about "temperature and intonation", discussing the problem of temperature and sound, and the problem of temperature and sound can be directly described by a sound speed formula, but it takes half an hour to talk.

In addition, "The intonation of two flutes" talked about how to adjust the relationship between length and intonation; "Scientific flute making method" discussed how to check the meter for a long time, which also made Qin Chuan dumbfounded.

A paper "Calculation and Application of Fife Frequency", which was written many years ago, is still the mainstream of discussion, and it is discussed and discussed, as if holding some supreme martial arts book.

And that thick reference manual, in the hands of Gu Xiaobai, can be done directly with just a few lines of formulas.

When they looked up the table and calculated over and over again, they directly substituted into the formula and mental calculations came out.

There is even a world-renowned master among them, who is discussing the left brain (rationality) and right brain (sensibility) of music, which cannot be called science or metaphysics.

When it comes to practice, I don't know what to say about the finished product.

From Qin Chuan's point of view, most of the flutes made by those people are only due to the quality of the flute itself.

But the finished product is simply wasteful...

Even if Qin Chuan doesn't have the perverted absolute pitch like Gu Xiaobai, he has been playing music since elementary school, and he can hear the sound of the flute with just one ear.

A flute with a good sound, but a poor pitch.

The flute with good pitch can no longer control the timbre.

Those who take both are rare, and most of them are just a blind cat meeting a dead mouse.

The flutes that were also sent to the competition were produced in the same batch, but the quality was very different.

No wonder it is said that musical instruments are deep in water. How can a novice know the difference?

Even if you buy a rubbish flute at a high price, novices will often think that this flute has a good sound because it is "produced by a master".

Not to mention novices, sometimes many veterans may not be able to tell the difference because they have never seen or used a good flute in the field, or their own hearing is not good.

At this time, Qin Chuan felt that in this world, there are too many people who understand music but don't understand physics.People who understand physics don't necessarily understand craftsmanship, and people who understand craftsmanship don't understand mass production. Even if they understand, they don't have time to make musical instruments.

That is to say, after participating in the "highest level" competitions and forums in this industry, Qin Chuan decided to enter the musical instrument production industry himself.

Weak chickens are in power, metaphysics is rampant, let me sweep the house full of dust mites, and clean up the atmosphere of the industry.

Therefore, when Gu Xiaobai was on tour in Chang'an, "Qinchuan Musical Instruments" opened in a low-key manner.

At the same time, on Taobao, a Tmall store of "Qinchuan Musical Instrument Flagship Store" also opened at the same time.

Two different series of musical instruments, "Bai" and "Chuan", were listed on the homepage of the Tmall store.

On the day of the opening, Qin Chuan was driven to the shelves, and did something he had never done in his life.

Live broadcast.
