Chapter 573: Just Ask You to Know
Earlier than Ye Luo, she learned of Richard's death was Richard's daughter, the famous European violinist, Ms. Camilla.
When Ye Luo dialed her phone, she was at Manchester Airport, preparing to board the plane.
Regarding the old man's funeral, Ye Luo felt that he should discuss it with her.
But after dialing the mobile phone and listening to the other party's hoarse voice due to grief, Ye Luo didn't know how to say it after introducing himself.
"Mr. Ye Luo." Instead, Camilla took the initiative to say, "My father mentioned you to me more than once before he went to the United States, and he admired your talent and conduct very much.
I've also heard your work, you're a genius.
Although I am also engaged in music, I am limited by my talent, and I don't know anything about pop music. Far from being jealous, I would be glad that you could inherit my father's career and aspirations in pop music.
So don't worry too much, my father asked you before I arrived in New York. ”
Camilla's words made Ye Luo breathe a sigh of relief.
It's not that he's afraid that the other party will compete with him for Warner, to be honest, the current Warner records, Ye Luozhen may not be able to see it.
What Ye Luo is worried about is not to look back, out of respect, he will take the first step to prepare for Richard's funeral, in case the family members think differently, and as a result, the good thing is not done, and he will cause a commotion.
With Camilla's words, Ye Luo was relieved, and he was with Song Yan. pushed open Richard's bedroom in the presidential suite of the hotel, and officially took over Richard's funeral.
Of course, Ye Luo actually has no clue in this regard, but with Song Yan by his side, he doesn't have to worry about this, contact the funeral home, the burial ceremony, and the location of the memorial service. has Song Yan to help him arrange it.
Just when Song Yan was calling, Ye Luo looked at Richard, who was sleeping peacefully, bowed his head and mourned for a while, and then sat down on the piano in the room.
Richard still has this habit, and wherever he stays, he will ask the host to have a piano so that he can record his musical ideas at any time.
To see off this great musician, Ye Luo felt that the most suitable thing was naturally music.
But Ye Luo didn't start playing right away. Instead, he waited for a while, waiting for Song Yan to finish the call.
"Song Yan, notation." When Song Yan hung up the phone, Ye Luo said.
Song Yan was slightly stunned, and then seemed to understand Ye Luo's intentions, she walked to Ye Luo's side and picked up the manual notation book on the piano. [To see the latest chapters of this book, please go to the book]
Song Yan opened this notation book and found that there were some scribbled music that Richard had recently composed.
"Don't use this one. Take this new one. Ye Luo said again.
Song Yan bowed slightly and sat down on the desk. I opened the drawer, found a brand new notation book, turned the first page, and picked up the pen.
Ye Luo began to drop his fingers on the piano.
"Fantasy Improvisation", one of the greatest piano pieces in another world.
The difficulty of playing this piece is not small, and it has just hit the limit of Ye Luo's piano skills. In normal times, he would not play it himself, at most he would write a score for Song Yan to play.
But today, on this occasion, Ye Luo wants to play it himself.
"Fantasy Improvisation". Chopin, a Polish musician in another world, produced a total of four pieces, and Ye Luo played the most famous of them at this time, "Fantasy Improvisation in C sharp minor".
Ye Luo played this piece because it was unrestrained and gorgeous, which was a portrayal of Richard's musical career in this life.
The second reason is that the origin of this song is somewhat special.
It was composed when Chopin was twenty-four years old, and it was not until after his death that the piano piece was found in the music folder.
Legend has it that Chopin, the author, believed that the main theme of the piece was somewhat similar to the theme of an improvised piece by a French composer, so Chopin refused to publish it during his lifetime.
It can be seen that this great musician from another world has the same rigorous creative attitude as Richard. Give this piece to Richard, Ye Luo thinks it's very appropriate.
This piece is the second piano piece that Ye Luo gave to Richard.
It will be transformed into Song Yan's beautiful handwriting and cremated with Richard.
Richard said that good music should be heard by people all over the world, but this tune, Ye Luo wants Richard to enjoy.
It was both his first and last playing.
……
The plan can never catch up with the changes, and Richard's sudden death made Ye Luo grieve at the same time, but also made him very busy.
Richard's funeral, including the arrangement of the will, went quite smoothly.
Camilla has no objection to Richard's transfer of all Warner shares to Ye Luo. It can be seen that after inheriting her father's multi-billion dollar inheritance, she is not interested in Richard's career in the field of pop music.
After Ye Luo signed this will, 55% of the shares of Warner Records were transferred to Ye Luo's name.
There is no need to talk to his family for the sake of the will, which makes Ye Luo feel a little relieved, but this is also the reason why he is busy after that.
Warner is a parent record company, and the chairman has changed hands, which is a big deal, and there are too many follow-up affairs.
After the funeral, Ye Luo and Chu Mo'er went their separate ways, Chu Mo'er returned to China to start planning for the wedding, and Ye Luo had to go to Europe with Song Yan to stabilize the panicked Warner Records first.
In short, white things, red things, and official things came together, and when Ye Luo got off the plane and set foot on British soil, it was already twelve o'clock in the middle of the night, and he hadn't closed his eyes for two days.
Tomorrow morning at nine o'clock is Warner Records' shareholder meeting.
Arrived in the hotel room. Ye Luo didn't even have the strength to take a bath, so he directly stripped off his clothes and threw himself on the bed, and the soft mattress vibrated before it was still, and he fell asleep.
But immediately, he was awakened by the ringing of the doorbell.
Ye Luo's brain is in a state of shutdown at this time. didn't have the energy to think about it, so he got out of bed and opened the door, and then he saw Song Yan dressed in red outside the door.
Song Yan looked at Ye Luo, who was naked, her face flushed slightly, and she pinned her face to the side.
Ye Luo's cheeks have also been exercised, and he is on a business trip with Song Yan, no matter how big the battle is, it doesn't matter for a long time, the soldiers will block it, and the water will cover it.
Ye Luo threw himself back on the bed again. He yawned and said, "Come in if you have something to say, and if I fall asleep halfway through, remember to close the door when you go out." ”
Song Yan glanced at Ye Luo, walked in and sat on the single sofa in the room, and said, "I finally know now why Camilla is not interested in Warner Records at all. ”
"Oh?"
"This is Warner's financial statements for the last quarter." Song Yan raised the document in her hand, "I just received it." ”
"Don't expect me to read the numbers, say. What's wrong? ”
"Warner Records basically didn't lose money last quarter, and then this is their best financial quarter in almost a year." Song Yan said.
"Isn't it?" Ye Luo heard the news. Most of the drowsiness disappeared, "Warner is the mother, it doesn't make one or two tens of billions of dollars a year, and it's embarrassing to call it a mother-level record company?" ”
"Other parent record companies have at least 10 billion profits a year, but Warner is an exception." Song Yan said. "Warner is based in Europe, and the current pop music in Europe is going downhill, and in recent years, the local record market in Europe has been hit hard by the Internet. Several mothers in the United States have come to grab the market again, Warner basically can't make money in Europe, and they can't enter the Americas before, and the main profit point is in Asia.
However, in this year's Asian music market, China has sprung up, Southeast Asia and East Asia countries, China is the largest music exporter, and Warner's market share has been eaten up by Chinese music. Before, they invested too much in order to open up channels, and now they can't make ends meet.
Fortunately, Warner has recently cooperated with us to open up the US market, and it was only tied last quarter, otherwise it would have been a big loss. ”
Ye Luo was stunned: "So, I was cheated by Richard?" ”
"Almost." Song Yan nodded, "They have lost almost five billion euros this year in the previous quarters combined. In order to cooperate with us, they borrowed another three billion euros.
If we don't find a way to turn a profit, Warner will soon become insolvent and declare bankruptcy. ”
"I'll just say, why did he ask Richard for money to talk about cooperation before, he would be so simple, it turns out that he also knows that he is suffering." Ye Luo shook his head, "This old man said before that he had realized his dream or something, I thought his company was running well, and he couldn't get along for a long time."
You say, he's not going to kill himself, is he? ”
Song Yan was stunned for a moment, and then glanced at Ye Luo: "Mr. Richard is not this kind of person. ”
Ye Luo knew that he was speechless, and laughed twice: "I'm too sleepy, talking nonsense." ”
Song Yan thought for a while and analyzed: "He wanted to do the second season of music rescue before, obviously wanting to use his personal ability to reverse Warner's current decline.
But then he heard your work on the spot, and he probably thought that even if he didn't reverse it, you could handle it if he threw a mess at you, so he was relieved.
His health condition, without heart and motivation, is not necessarily a good thing. ”
Ye Luo nodded and said, "But no matter what, even if Warner is a mess, we have to take it."
After all, the skeleton of the parent record company is there, plus the beauty company, the resources are well integrated, and it is not a problem to turn losses into profits.
Lao Yang's music momentum is now slowly starting to take shape, and in the future, our platform will only be bigger and better than the original Warner. ”
Speaking of this, Ye Luo looked at Song Yan and said softly: "It's just that there are more and more things, and it's going to be hard for you." ”
"If you know, it's good." Song Yan sighed, her face softened, "Ye Luo, I don't actually ask for anything, I just ask you to know." ”
"I know." Ye Luo also sighed, "I always knew.
But Song Yan, you should also understand that I can't ......"
"No more." Song Yan stood up and interrupted, "You're tired too, go to sleep, you still have a lot of things to do tomorrow." ”
"Hey." Ye Luo responded, "Good night." (To be continued......)
