The legend of rebirth

Chapter 571 I just want you to know

It was Richard's daughter, the famous European violinist, Ms. Camilla, who learned of Richard's death earlier than Ye Luo.

When Ye Luo called her, she was at Manchester Airport, ready to board the plane.

Regarding the funeral of the old man, Ye Luo felt that he should discuss it with her.

But after dialing the phone and hearing the other party's voice hoarse from grief, Ye Luo didn't know what to say after introducing herself.

"Mr. Ye Luo." Camilla said instead, "Before my father went to the United States, he mentioned you to me more than once, and he admired your talent and character very much.

I have also heard your work, you are a genius.

Although I am also engaged in music work, but limited by my talent, I don't know anything about pop music.You can inherit your father's career and aspirations in pop music. Far from being jealous, I will be very pleased.
The legacy my father left me is already very rich, and I am not keen on material pursuits.

So don't worry too much, before I arrive in New York, my father will ask you. "

Camilla's words made Ye Luo heave a sigh of relief.

He wasn't afraid that the other party would compete with him for Warner. To be honest, Ye Luo really might not like the current Warner record.

What Ye Luo was worried about was not to look back. Out of respect, she started preparing for Richard's funeral first, in case the family members had different ideas, and the good thing didn't work out, and she would cause a commotion instead.

With Camilla's words, Ye Luo felt relieved, and then together with Song Yan, he and Song Yan pushed away Richard's bedroom in the presidential suite of the hotel, and formally took over Richard's funeral affairs.

Of course, Ye Luo didn't have a clue about this, but with Song Yan by his side, he didn't have to worry about these things. He could contact the funeral home, encoffining ceremony, memorial service location, etc., and Song Yan would help him arrange them.

While Song Yan was on the phone, Ye Luo looked at Richard who was sleeping peacefully in his clothes, bowed his head in silence for a while, and then sat down by the piano in the room.

Richard still has this habit. No matter where he lives, he will require the reception party to have a piano so that he can record musical inspiration at any time.

To see this great musician off, Ye Luo felt that the most suitable thing was music.

But Ye Luo didn't start playing right away, but waited for a while, waiting for Song Yan to finish talking on the phone.

"Song Yan, record the score." After Song Yan hung up the phone, Ye Luo said.

Song Yan was slightly taken aback, then she seemed to understand Ye Luo's intentions, she walked to Ye Luo's side, and picked up the manual score book on the piano.

Song Yan opened the notation book and found that there were some scribbled movements that Richard had composed recently.

"Don't use this one, get a new one." Ye Luo said again.

Song Yan nodded slightly, sat down on the desk, opened the drawer, found a brand new notation book, opened the first page, and picked up the pen.

Ye Luo began to drop her fingers on the piano.

"Fantasia Impromptu", which is one of the greatest piano pieces of the other world.

The difficulty of playing this piece is not small. He has just hit the limit of Ye Luoqin's art. Normally, 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 wanted to play by himself.

"Fantasia Impromptu", in another world, the Polish musician Chopin produced four pieces in total, and what Ye Luo is playing at this time is the most famous of them, "Fantasia Impromptu in C-sharp Minor".

Ye Luo played this piece of music, firstly because this piece of music is unrestrained and exciting, colorful and mottled, which is the portrayal of Richard's music career in this life.

The second is because the origin of this song is a bit special.

This is Chopin's work when he was 24 years old. It was not until after his death that people found this piano piece in the score folder.

According to rumors, the author Chopin believed that the main theme of this piece of music was somewhat similar to the theme of an impromptu 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, like Richard, has a rigorous creative attitude.Ye Luo thought it was appropriate to give this piece of music to Richard.

This piece is the second piano piece that Ye Luo gave to Richard.

It will turn into Song Yan's beautiful handwriting and be cremated together with Richard.

Richard said that good music should be heard by people all over the world, but Ye Luo wanted Richard to enjoy this piece of music exclusively.

This is both his first time playing and the last time.

……

The plan can never keep up with the changes. Richard's sudden death made Ye Luo feel sad, but also made him very busy.

Richard's funeral, including the arrangement of the will, is going well.

Camilla didn't have any objection to Richard's transfer of all Warner shares to Ye Luo.It was obvious that after inheriting her father's multi-billion dollar estate, she was not interested in Richard's career in pop music.

After Ye Luo signed the will, 50.00% of Warner Music's shares were transferred to Ye Luo's name.

Ye Luo felt a little relieved that he didn't have to argue with the family members about the will, but this was also the reason why he was busy afterwards.

Warner is a parent-level record company, and the chairman changed hands. This is a big deal, and there are too many follow-up affairs.

After the funeral, Ye Luo and Chu Mo'er split up. Chu Mo'er returned to China and started planning for the wedding, while Ye Luo had to go to Europe with Song Yan to stabilize Warner Records, which was in panic.

In short, white things, red things, and official things came together. By the time 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 Music's shareholder meeting.

In the hotel room, Ye Luo didn't even have the energy to take a shower, so he stripped off his clothes and threw himself on the bed. Before the vibration of the soft mattress stopped, he fell asleep.

But immediately, he was awakened by the doorbell again.

Ye Luo's brain was at a standstill at this time, and he 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 in a red dress outside the door.

Song Yan looked at the topless Ye Luo, blushed slightly, and turned her face away.

Ye Luo's face has also been tempered. He was on a business trip with Song Yan, and he has seen even the biggest battles. It doesn't matter a long time ago.

Ye Luo threw herself back on the bed again, yawned and said, "Come in if you have something to say, if I hear half of you falling asleep, remember to close the door after you go out."

Song Yan gave Ye Luo a blank look, walked in and sat on the single sofa in the room, and said, "Now I finally know why Camilla has no interest in Warner Records at all."

"Oh?"

"This is Warner's last quarter's financial statement." Song Yan raised the document in her hand, "I just received it."

"Don't expect me to see these numbers, tell me, what's wrong?"

"Warner Music basically broke even in the last quarter, and this is their best quarter in the past year." Song Yan said.

"Isn't it?" Ye Luo lost most of his drowsiness when he heard the news, "Warner is the parent company, if it doesn't earn 200 billion a year, how dare you call it a parent record company?"

"Other parent-level record companies have at least 100 billion annual profits, but Warner is an exception." Song Yan said, "Warner is based in Europe, and the current pop music in Europe is going downhill. The record market has been severely impacted by the Internet, and several parent companies in the United States are vying for the market again. Warner basically can't make money in Europe, and they couldn't enter the Americas before. The main profit point is in Asia.

However, in the Asian music market this year, China has sprung up suddenly. Several countries in Southeast Asia and East Asia, China is the largest music exporter, and Warner's market share has been eaten up by Chinese music.But before they invested too much in opening up channels, now they can't make ends meet.

Fortunately, Warner recently cooperated with us to open up the US market, and it was even last quarter, otherwise it would have suffered a lot. "

Ye Luo was stunned: "So, I was tricked by Richard?"
"Almost." Song Yan nodded, "They have lost nearly 50 billion euros this year in the past few quarters. In order to cooperate with us, they have borrowed another 30 billion euros.

Ye Luo, if we don't find a way to turn losses into profits, Warner will soon be insolvent and declare bankruptcy. "

"I just said, why did he ask Richard for money to talk about cooperation before, he would be so straightforward, it turns out that he also knows himself." Ye Luo shook his head, "The old man said before that he has realized his dream And so on, I thought his company was doing well, and I couldn't get along with it for a long time.

You said, he didn't commit suicide, did he? "

Song Yan was stunned for a moment, then gave Ye Luo a blank look: "Mr. Richard is not this kind of person."
Ye Luo knew that he had made a slip of the tongue, and laughed twice: "I'm too sleepy, talking nonsense."

Song Yan thought for a while, then analyzed: "He wanted to do the second season of Music Salvation, obviously because he wanted to use his personal ability to reverse Warner's current decline.

But after he heard your work on the spot, he probably felt that even if you didn’t reverse it and leave you with a mess, you could fix it, so he felt relieved.

His state of health, without his worries 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 care of it.

After all, the backbone of the parent record company is there, and with the addition of Beauty Company, it is no problem to integrate resources and turn losses into profits.
Lao Yang's music momentum is now slowly beginning to take shape. 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: "There are more and more things, so I have to work hard for you."

"It's good that you know." Song Yan sighed, her face softened, "Ye Luo, I don't really ask for anything, I just ask you to know."

"I know." Ye Luo also sighed, "I've always known.

But Song Yan, you should also understand that I can't..."

"No need to talk anymore." Song Yan stood up and interrupted, "You are tired too, go to sleep, there are still many things to be busy tomorrow."

"Hey." Ye Luo responded, "Good night."
