Harrison rk asked back, Arent youposing on your own, Lucia?
Avril Green pouted, Times have changed, I didnt know you were so talented before.
Harrison rk agreed, Alright, lets discuss it together when we have time.
But you have to give me theplete sheet music for The Fire first, Harrison rk, Carrie Thomas reminded him from the side.
Harrison rk secretly wiped his sweat, Yes, yes, Ill write it the day after tomorrow.
This meal was quite exhausting for him, luckily there were no ns after dinner, and everyone went their separate ways.
Avril Green went to her rtives house, and Carrie Thomas went to Susan Lamberts house.
Ward Owen called his driver to take Harrison rk and Julia Lambert to the hotel.
On the way, Harrison rk chatted with Julia Lambert who sat in the back seat with him, only then did he realize that she was indeed an impressive person.
Both had studied abroad, but Julia Lambert was much more reliable than Ward Owen, who was a disgrace to Ivy League schools.
She graduated from Harvard Business School with a full schrship, had made a name for herself overseas before returning home, and was now invited by a domestic conglomerate to join directly as a senior executive.
Of course, Julia Lambert didnt brag about these achievements; she just briefly mentioned her alma mater and thepany she was nning to work for after returning home. The rest of the details were filled in by Ward Owen.
Back at the hotel, Harrison rk took out his notebook intending to write sheet music, but Ward Owen came knocking on his door.
Master, you were serious about thepany thing you mentioned before, right?bender
Harrison rk let him in, Yes.
So, what kind ofpany do we want to set up? I already have apany, why dont I transfer half of the shares to you?
Harrison rk shook his head, No, I know yourpany, and I cant afford half of the shares, let alone one-tenth.
You can start by bing a technical shareholder, and we can both hold shares. If theres not enough money, you can owe it for now and pay it off slowly.
Ward Owen was giving this a serious consideration.
Harrison rk thought about it again, and the thought of dealing with the intricacies of business management was quite frustrating.
After a moment of hesitation, he said, I just want to write songs, and thats all I know how to do. The partnership is just an excuse, but my real goal is that I value you and want to write songs for you.
Ward Owens mouth twitched, and after a long silence, he said with some self-awareness, Master, do you really think so highly of me? Am I that talented?
Yes!
But I havent even finished making the three songs you gave me before. I Im not that great.
Harrison rk patted Ward Owens shoulder in a heartfelt manner, No, youre awesome, your talent goes beyond your imagination! You can, and should, achieve something in singing. When we return to Oxfordshire in a few days, well think about it more carefully.
He had an idea.
His most valuable asset at the moment was the transport of numerous song copyrights and profit-sharing rights he had brought with him from another time.
In the future, when he sold songs to other artists, their copyrights would also be retained by him.
These things can be owned by an individual, but its not the best choice for maximizing benefits.
With the expansion of the asset scale and increasingplexity of the asset category, retaining the copyrights in his personal capacity was no longer appropriate.
One, he couldnt manage it all, and two, relying on individual effort, he wouldnt be able to properly allocate and add value to resources, resulting in intangible waste of resources.
At present, he was still working as an individual, so he could only do one-off deals like selling songs and couldnt do any additional copyright exploitation.
He didnt have the energy or the patience to go around talking business with people everywhere. Moreover, he didnt know how to do it, let alone seed.
However, as long as he could build a mature and stable team around the copyrights of the songs he had sold and the dozens of songs he had casually brought back, thepany would start to snowball.
And in the future, he would continue to increase his transporting efficiency, produce more works, and while ensuring the artistic careers of Carrie Thomas and Ward Owen, he would definitely have to cash in on arge number of works.
But once he started to be highly productive, he wouldnt have time to personally sell his songs as his output would be so staggering.
Therefore, he needed a team, thepany was necessary, but he had no desire to manage it, so he had to bring in partners, let others do the hard and demanding work while he focused on creation.
The importance of partners for every entrepreneur goes without saying.
A partner must be trustworthy, have connections, be capable, and most importantly, have money.
Whether Ward Owen had the ability or not was another matter, but the other three aspects were satisfactory to Harrison rk.
However, Ward Owen had just taken over Eric Mitchells business, and his personal assets were already quiterge and still being consolidated, so joining Ward Owens business wasnt the best fit for him.
Harrison rk had neither the position nor the capital to demand arge share in Ward Owens mature business.
But Harrison rk had told Carrie Thomas before that even brothers needed to be clear about money matters he couldnt allow himself to be on the losing end.
As a hardworking transporter with exclusive resources, working as a minor shareholder in Ward Owens business and being reduced to an employee was not only restricting, but he was not emotionally ready for it either.
Not having control would not be conducive to Harrison rks ability to use his foresight in controlling the overall situation in the future.
Harrison rk didnt want to be in Ward Owens agency either; it didnt make much sense, and he didnt know how to manage an agency..
