Chapter IV

"Oh God, is this true? Are you really going to have coffee with me? Walter Yennikov couldn't help but exclaim. Then he quickly looked at the back of a few song scores, and found that no matter how classic these songs are, in the eyes of a veteran who has been in his industry all his life, each of these songs is enough to shock the entire United States, and even the whole world.

This is God's creation.

After carefully reading these songs, Walter Yennikov regained his excitement just now, looked up and said to the staff who were still standing respectfully in front of him: "You just said that Kari threw these pieces of paper into the garbage basket after just one look?" ”

The young man said helplessly, "Yes, President." ”

Walter Yennikov cursed in a hateful whisper, then smiled again and said to the young man in front of him: "Well, the young man has not found a place to sit down first." ”

After saying that, Walter Yenikov picked up a few pieces of paper on the table and looked at them carefully, and began to think about the value that these songs could create, and then try to maximize them, and give them to whoever sings them, or if not, they can completely rely on these songs to package a newcomer. He believes that even if it is a newcomer to packaging, relying on these songs, in 1979, the eyes of the world music industry and music lovers will be attracted to Columbia Records.

After thinking for a while, Walter Yennikov raised his head, glanced at the young man in front of him, thought for a moment, and asked casually: "Young man, what is your name?" ”

"My name is Taylor Barton, sir. You can call me Taylor. Taylor said.

"Okay, may I call you that, Taylor, what do you think of these songs?" Walter Yennikov asked, holding the pieces of paper in his hand.

Taylor knew that this was the president testing himself, and what he did was to seize this opportunity, otherwise all his previous efforts would be in vain, so he thought about it and said: "Sir, I think that each of these songs can attract the attention of fans around the world, and each of these songs can lead the trend of world music, and even make the whole world crazy, of course, the premise is to find a good owner for these songs." ”

"And who do you think is the best fit?" Walter Yennikov asked.

"Sir, I think the most important thing is not that we think it is appropriate, but that the person who wrote these songs thinks it is appropriate, and I think that person must have thought about the owner of these songs." Taylor said with a little confidence.

Hearing what the young man in front of him said, Walter Yennikov was a little surprised, and instead of commenting on his words, he asked: "What is your position in the company?" ”

"Sir, I'm just a letter manager in the company."

Hearing that the other party was only the lowest-ranking letter administrator in the company, Walter Yennikov was thinking about it, and looked up at the young man in front of him, and looked at him seriously, about twenty-three or fourteen years old, with pale yellow hair neatly combed. The nose was high, and there was a trace of confidence and excitement in his eyes, but he also seemed very calm, and recalled a series of performances since he knocked on the door just now, and found that this person was a good talent.

Walter Yennikov put down the paper in his hand, for him these songs were like pies falling from the sky, he was lucky to have God's favor, but it was hard to come by.

You can't always think that such a thing will happen to you, and the person in front of you is a talent, a talent worthy of digging and creating more value for the company, then the company only asks him to do a job that dozens of children who know words can do, this is the company's mistake, in other words, this is also his mistake.

Thinking about it further, maybe the decline in Columbia Records' performance in recent years may also be its own mistakes, and he may have become a sinner of the company unconsciously.

As soon as he remembered what this person had just said, Walter Yennikov was even more angry and disappointed, angry at letting such a good person do such a job, and at the same time he was angry at the young man's mouth talking about Kari, such a person actually dominated the manager of a department, and at the same time he was also very disappointed in his subordinates, and it seemed necessary to clean up the company.

"Taylor? Right? Walter Yenikov confirmed again.

"Yes, sir."

So Walter Yennikov chatted casually with the young man in front of him.

Walter Yennikov was shocked in his heart after asking more than a dozen questions, this man was so knowledgeable and capable that he could be one of the best people if he was given time to get used to understanding him in any department now. At the same time, I was even more disappointed that what my subordinates were doing, and such an excellent talent had not been discovered until now.

If it weren't for this young man's self-recommendation, the company would definitely miss out on an excellent talent in the future. Walter Yennikov was bitter about the company's mistakes, and thought that he must take good measures in the future to make the best use of the other talented people who might exist in the company.

After asking almost all the questions required for the interview and the work to be carried out in each department, Walter Yennikov found that this person was basically an elite except for his lack of proficiency in lyrics and composition, and what made him know more about the needs of the market and the psychology of people.

Walter Yennikov was a little embarrassed by such a talent, not because he didn't know which department to put him in, but because he didn't know where to put him, and he believed that as long as the time came, as long as he was mature enough, it would not be a problem to appoint him as president.

For a moment he couldn't think of how to arrange this person, so Walter Yennikov stopped thinking about it and said to him: "Okay, young man, I already know a lot about you, and the company will think about your future work." ”
