Chapter 47 Levi's Conditions
"Music composition, you?" Erwin's first reaction was disbelief.
But he suddenly remembered:
Her daughter was inexplicably seduced by this boy, as if she heard some "unprecedented beautiful music" in his head.
Seraphine's musical aesthetics and professionalism are naturally beyond doubt.
I think Levi really understands music, and his level is quite good.
"But human talent has its limits."
"How many songs can you create by yourself? How can you support such a big business with just a few good songs? I advise you to be more realistic..."
"No, Mr. Erwin." Levi interrupted his questioning: "Whether this method will work or not, you can make a judgment after listening to it."
As he spoke, Bluebird cast a look at Seraphine:
"Seraphone, please."
"Okay!" Seraphine jumped up eagerly.
She walked briskly to the piano beside her, tucked in her skirt with ease, and sat upright in front of the keys.
Seraphine stroked the piano keys and closed her eyes to tune them.
Then, the music started.
Boom boom boom boom boom boom~
Her slender, white fingers danced like butterflies, flying up and down.
Sweet and cheerful notes flowed from her fingertips, lingered in the air, gradually drifted into the ears, and captured the hearts of the listeners.
Erwin was a little angry at first because Levi used his daughter as a music player.
But after hearing the beautiful melody played by Seraphine, he gradually forgot his depression, his business, and everything else.
He was completely immersed in the music.
The warm, light, soft and affectionate rhythm deeply touches people's hearts.
This touch does not come from any magic, but simply from the charm of music itself.
Through the music, Erwin seemed to see a lively and smart girl, and saw the author's appreciation and love for the girl and his beautiful vision of love.
This is definitely a great song!
It will definitely be very popular in the upper circles of Piltover, Demacia, and Noxus! Who knows, it may even become a classic, and the author will be remembered forever along with the music!
"What...what song is this?" Erwin murmured.
"To Alice," Levi replied.
"I have quite a few . If you'd like, I can ask Seraphine to play them for you slowly. Of course, if you want to listen to songs of other styles, I have even more here..."
"As long as we release a few hit songs every year, we won't have to worry about sales of our Walkmans and music cassettes..."
Levi is also promoting his music business.
But Erwin's expression suddenly changed.
Sometimes it turns red, sometimes it turns green, and I don't know what it is thinking.
Then he just asked:
"Who is Alice?"
"ah?"
"Didn't you write this song for Alice? Then who is Alice? How many girls have you hooked up with using this trick?"
Levi: “…”
"I don't want to do this business anymore—"
"Stay the fuck away from my daughter!"
…
The deal was finally done.
Because Levi explained that those songs were not written by him at all, but were told to him by Janna.
He also plans to explain this to the outside world in the future.
As for how Goddess Janna knows so many songs, and even knows gangster rap and heavy metal rock... don't ask, the answer is that the goddess knows everything.
Erwin didn't believe it at first, but after Levi and Seraphine performed dozens of famous songs in different styles... he had no choice but to believe it.
The Walkman technology that was ahead of its time, plus the countless famous songs that were passed down through the ages. With these, the entire pie, from music production, publishing and distribution to the manufacture and sale of Walkmans and tapes, could be eaten up.
In Levi's words:
"This is called focusing on user pain points, finding a handle in a niche field, using technological advantages to open up a new track, connecting the upstream and downstream industrial chains, and realizing internal resource integration, ultimately forming a positive feedback loop ecosystem, penetrating the user's mind, and having a dimensionality reduction impact on the market..."
"Mr. Erwin, do you understand?"
Erwin understood.
To sum it up in one sentence:
This project can really make money, a lot of money.
Does he want to do it? Of course he does. Who doesn't want to make money?
"Also, I said at the beginning that I can help Seraphine solve the problem of her out-of-control talent."
"I am the chosen one of the goddess Janna. I have the ability to teach Seraphine how to control magic... and even train her to become a powerful mage."
At this point, Mrs. Irving could no longer sit still.
In recent years, Seraphine's talent has continued to grow, and the pain caused by the loss of control of her talent has become increasingly unbearable.
Seeing her daughter in pain when her abilities went out of control, she, as a mother, could no longer bear the pain.
In order to help Seraphine solve this problem, Mrs. Erwin even planned to sell her family factory to buy the priceless raw hextech gems.
Now, Levi alone can solve this problem.
Not only can it help their daughter get rid of her pain, but it also comes with a set of free professional mage training. If she succeeds, the Erwin family may have another extraordinary mage with great powers!
"Old man, what are you waiting for?!"
Mrs. Irving was already urging her husband to make a decision quickly.
"But..." Erwin still hesitated.
He looked at Levi, then at Seraphine, his expression complicated and strange, and it was unknown what he was hesitating about.
"But our daughter seems to be..." Erwin whispered to his wife.
"That's better than watching her die in pain!" Mrs. Erwin cursed angrily, and then secretly glanced at Levi: "And, even if that's the case..."
"Given the boy's current condition, our daughter hasn't suffered any loss."
"Nonsense... How come you didn't suffer any loss! That little bastard was still a stinky worker yesterday... No... Absolutely not!"
"Then why don't you sell the factory and buy some raw hextech crystals for our daughter? You old miser!"
"I……"
Levi: “???”
Janna waited for a long time before finally bringing him the latest news:
“We agree with this project.”
"Once we meet Professor Victor and see all the technical information about the Walkman project, we can discuss signing the contract."
Mr. Irving hummed reluctantly.
"That's great." Levi asked Bluebird Janna to nod for him: "I hope we can have a pleasant cooperation in the future, Mr. Erwin."
"But before that...I still have some conditions."
"What conditions?" Erwin frowned slightly.
He didn't like the way of negotiating business with additional terms at the end. It was insincere.
"Please forgive me. Because I have to make you realize the value of this project before you agree to this condition."
"Oh?" He became interested.
At this time, Li Wei said solemnly:
"My condition is——"
"I hope that from today on, Zaun apprentices will receive the same treatment as Piltover workers."
“W-What did you say?!”
Erwin couldn't believe his ears:
"Give Zaun apprentices the same treatment as Piltover people?"
joke!
Why did he recruit apprentices from Zaun?
Isn’t it because the people of Zaun are cheap!
Not only are they cheap, but they are also durable. If they break, you can always rush back to Zaun and get a new batch at any time.
Anyway, there is never a shortage of young people from Zaun who want to come to Piltover to work.
"Are you crazy?!" Erwin asked.
"I didn't." Levi said calmly: "If you are hesitant because of money, please don't worry."
"Therefore, the increased labor costs can be fully included in the 70% dividends that Professor Victor and I receive."
Erwin was silent for a while.
Then he asked with a complicated expression: "Are you serious?"
"Seriously."
"Why?"
"Because Professor Victor and I are both from Zaun."
Erwin: “…”
After another silence, he said:
"But there are some things that you can't do just because you want to."
"Do you know how other business owners will look at us if we do this? We are not the great Jace Tallis. If we rashly break the rules and make everyone dislike you, then..."
"No... absolutely not... this won't work!"
Erwin murmured and sighed.
But Levi did not persuade him any more, but said to him:
"Mr. Erwin, Goddess Janna told me that she saw you twenty years ago."
"You were still a Zaun apprentice at that time."
"She saw you crying alone in your bed because you couldn't raise the money for your girlfriend's medical treatment. You cried all night, then wiped away your tears... and went to the hospital with a smile to visit your girlfriend..."
"I'm sorry..." Bluebird looked at Erwin, and his former girlfriend, now Mrs. Erwin: "Janna didn't have the ability to help you at that time."
"You..." Erwin's pupils trembled.
"He...at that time...was, was..."
The words got stuck in my throat, but I couldn't hold back my tears, which quietly flowed out.
"Yes." Janna spoke.
In her own voice: "I'm here, kid."
Erwin was stunned for a long time. Then, he replied in a mysterious way:
"I...I agree."
