Chapter 259: Chapter 195: Abnormal Phenomenon 1
Translator: 549690339 —
After returning to Oxfordshire, Harrison Clark held a high-level company meeting, setting some important strategies for the future.
Then, he didn’t leave his house for seven days straight.
During these seven days, he completed the transfer of nearly thirty other songs.
His goal was simple.
If they were to cooperate with the Whale Group, their side must have sufficient financial capacity.
Chris Owen wasn’t as easy to deceive as Ward Owen, who relied only on leading technology to take control of the cooperation. It would be difficult and would undoubtedly involve lengthy negotiations.
Harrison did not want to waste time.
In modern society, even the best technology is unlikely to immediately impress entrepreneurs enough to invest before a finished product is available.
Entrepreneurs also have a responsibility to their employees.
Only excellent entrepreneurs can be reliable partners.
But getting money and support from such people is not easy.
So Harrison decided to raise enough money on his side first, then collaborate with Ramer and Ward Owen to negotiate a partnership with Chris Owen.
By providing sufficient funds and Rainer’s technology input, Harrison would make sure that Chris Owen couldn’t resist the proposition.
He wanted to further enhance the explosive power of Summit Ventures.
Now there was trouble.
The last batch of hit songs from the previous month hadn’t been entirely sold, and now there was a new batch.
During the internal assessment at the company, the creative team members were almost ready to kneel down and shout to God.
Harrison was already getting used to others’ admiration.
I can handle even Carrie Thomas’ admiration; who are you to compare?
He waved his hand and said.
“For the next twenty days, everyone must work hard! The company’s music library now has accumulated up to forty songs, of which eight folk songs and rock songs will be used in Ward Owen’s new album. Six will be used in Lucy Haywood’s new album. As for the others, you have to find buyers for all of them within twenty days and sign contracts. Of course, before the final signing, you must send me the representative works and acoustic evaluations of the buyers’ past works, and I’ll check them.”
Poor Ward Owen, who had just survived the high-intensity recording of the last album and was happily refreshing the charts every day, watching his classic song reach the top ten, didn’t expect another one to come!
Our master is too strong.
Our lives are so hard!
There are already two fewer folds on my stomach!
Harrison glanced at Ward Owen, who seemed uncomfortable at the conference.
“Ward, don’t you want to sing?”
Ward Owen shook his head like a rattle, “No! I want to, even in my dreams!” “That’s good. In addition to folk songs, I’ve prepared two more rock songs for you this time. It’s a challenge for you. Go practice singing.”
With everything in place, Harrison went home.
The office was always busy, with people constantly seeking his advice as long as he was there. So he went back home to avoid them.
There was still a lot for Harrison to do.
He had to use his writing skills to continue preparing the outlines of the movie scripts he brought back, write academic monographs, and find specific locations for the “cultural relics” he wanted to bury, while also completing the preliminary plans for 21st-century technology such as superconducting materials.
The plan couldn’t be sloppy; it had to be well-conceived and logically solid. Because the first person he had to convince was Rainer, who was already knowledgeable in academia.
So it was better to stay in his room at Chesterton Apartment, not paying attention to the world outside, and only focus on writing.
As he wrote, Harrison occasionally looked around, marveling in his heart.
No wonder Chesterton Apartment became a famous historic site.
Truly, this place was extraordinary.! managed to achieve such great accomplishments in this small room, so it’s not surprising that people want to come here on a pilgrimage.
He was busy like this for three days.
That evening, he received an unexpected yet reasonable phone call.
“Harrison, you’re too much. Not calling me for so many days since coming back from the United States is one thing, but not even telling me when you’re selling songs is another.”
Avril Green’s voice sounded somewhat annoyed.
Harrison had no doubt about it, and he apologized earnestly, “My fault, my fault. I’m sorry, I was too busy. Let me think about which song would be suitable for you…”
“Let’s not talk about the song yet, you’ll have to save it for me anyway. I don’t know if you’re free tonight?”
“Ah? What’s up?”
Harrison asked with astonishment, not very willing to go out.
He wasn’t stupid.
Actually, he had already noticed that Avril might have some subtle feelings for him.
But he already got Carrie Thomas, like a toad eating swan meat, and he really didn’t want to hurt more people.
Though Harrison was not particularly devoted to love, at some level, he was already a playboy who could cross time and space.
But that was just because, in life, some things had to be done.
Given a choice, Harrison would like to exercise some self-restraint, as his heart was already filled with too many other emotions, and there was really no room for more roles in love.
Rather than getting deeply entangled with Avril and tormenting each other, it would be better to nip some unnecessary sprouts in the bud from the start.
This seemed very unfeeling to Avril, but Harrison believed that with her magnanimity, wisdom, and upbringing, she could face it and make the right choice.
“Um, I don’t seem to be very available tonight.”
Harrison made up a random excuse.
“I’m waiting for you outside the main entrance of Chesterton Apartment. Come out. It’s quite important for me tonight, and you have to come.”
“Huh?”
With the conversation reaching this point, Harrison eventually went out with a heart full of uneasiness.
He believed that, given Avril’s rationality, she would not do anything like forcibly confessing her feelings.
But if she tried to get closer to him tonight, then he would take a step back, and with her intelligence, she should understand his intentions.
Then everything would come to a timely stop.
Starting from emotions and ending with propriety – that’s human nature.
As soon as he stepped out of the door and got into Avril’s Maserati President, Harrison quickly found out what it was all about.
Avril was going to attend a dinner party hosted by a London company that night.
But this so-called corporate dinner party was actually just an occasion for some young men and women to pay the bill.
The real purpose of the dinner was for Avril to represent a group of people and make simple contacts with another group of young and middle-aged peers from London.
Her reason was that it would be better to bring a male companion to such a dinner party, otherwise, it would be easy to be persuaded to drink.
Harrison didn’t believe it at all.
Do you really think I didn’t do a background check?
You are known as the female artist with the strongest background in England
and even in the central part of the country.
Even if you don’t deliberately pursue anything, other celebrities who come to Oxfordshire for activities would actively ask Bella for favors, regardless of whether you attend or not. How many of your peers could force you to drink?
He wanted to refuse at that moment, “I’m not very accustomed to such occasions, let’s not go.”
Unexpectedly, Avril insisted on holding him back, “You can do whatever you want at other times, but tonight you have to go.”
Seeing her strangely stubborn appearance, Harrison was even more puzzled..
