Roger and others did not mean to intervene too much in the company's daily operations.

During this period, as long as nothing big happened, the band will focus as much time and energy as possible on the album "Escape from the Garden of Eden".

Although it is impossible to completely relax the control of the company, there is no need to ask about it in detail.

There are many things that only need to understand one thing.

Of course, there is a premise here, which is under the premise that "no big deal happens."

The large-scale expansion plan proposed by Lucien Grange can be regarded as a major event that will affect [Quantum Music] and even [Quantum Entertainment]'s development in a considerable period of time in the future.

However, if you only stay in the planning stage, it would not be urgent to invest too much attention from the band.

To demonstrate the feasibility of the plan and to perfect it is the job of professional managers in the company.

In fact, in addition to the completely unpredictable "emergency", among the foreseeable events, only Universal Music Group and News Group are the only ones who can interrupt the band's recording of "Escape from the Garden of Eden".

However, if it is based on the "normal situation", no matter which thing happens earlier, at least it will not last until next year, that is, 2010, a preliminary result will not appear.

This is still the case when everything goes well.

If something happens, it will only delay for a longer time.

Before that, the album "Escape from the Garden of Eden" had already been completed.

This is also the reason why the band chose to start a new album plan at this time node. For the band who are very tight in time and schedule, the first thing to consider when working as a "star" is always time, and then other things.

The whole month of October was a "calm" for the band.

Whether in the pop music scene or other fields, there are many "big things" happening, but they have nothing to do with the band.

In the album "Escape from the Garden of Eden", the band is focused without any distraction.

Even so, the album recording progress is still not fast. In a month, all the tracks were completed, only three songs, and four songs also recorded a number of tracks of varying numbers, but none of them were completed.

Overall, the album "Escape from the Garden of Eden" has roughly completed a third.

This speed is not fast, it can even be said to be very slow.

If you don’t consider other things, just “recording”, there are rarely any singers or bands that will be so inefficient when recording songs.

Indeed, it is common to spend months or even a year or two in the music industry to complete an album.

But most of the time is spent on creating and modifying songs, collecting and selecting songs, and practicing, etc., a lot of time is spent.

The time I really spend in the recording studio is actually not much.

Even in Xiangjiang, there was a "Legend" in which all the songs of an album were recorded in the afternoon.

Of course, considering the way the band recorded this album, this speed is actually very normal.

If the speed is fast, it will make people feel strange.

Interestingly, in the recording of this album, Roger is finally no longer the one who "always slows down the overall progress".

Although Roger's recording progress is still slower than Anne and Fatty, this time, Jason is here to "stop" Roger.

In the album "Escape from the Garden of Eden", Jason's task is very heavy because of the use of a large number of instruments other than the "three major pieces" of traditional rock.

Fortunately, although there are many types of instruments to be played, the absolute protagonists are still the three most traditional pieces of rock music, guitar, drums, and bass.

Therefore, the album "Escape from the Garden of Eden" does not have high requirements for Jason. The "qualification line" is much lower than that of the other three. As long as the performance level is not too bad, it can be passed.

If not, Jason's recording progress would have been slower.

"But you are still slower than me and the fat man!"

When Roger mentioned this, Annie immediately began to mock Roger: "Stop struggling, you are just a drag guy!"

Roger retorted indignantly: "That's obviously because I want to do the work of two people, I have to record both vocals and bass, of course I'm slower than you!"

In fact, this is also a fact.

It is normal for one person to do two people's work slowly.

But Annie would not reason with Roger, she just made a face at Roger and didn't respond at all.

"Okay, you guys calm down."

The fat man interrupted the "young couple" with some headaches and said, "We are talking about the serious matters now. Can you be a little serious?"

"Okay, I apologize."

Roger shrugged and did not continue to quarrel with Anne. He turned to look at Theodore sitting on the other side and asked, "Can you explain the situation more specifically?"

Theodore is the band's "agent" in the company.

When the band is busy recording albums or other projects, Theodore will stare at all aspects of the company for the band and report to the band regularly.

If something Theodore thinks is more important happens, occasionally it will change "regular" to "instant".

For example, now, Theodore thought it was necessary to get the band to get the news as soon as possible, so he interrupted the production of the album "Escape from the Garden of Eden" and held this "internal meeting".

"Things have something to do with Luca's expansion plan and Universal Music Group."

Theodore organized the language a little and said: "Luca plans to poach about 60,000 employees from global poaching, including all aspects from production to publicity to distribution. According to Luca, he has tested the attitude of the top leaders of the world, and the other party agrees to accept our requests if conditions permit."

"Poach people from the world?"

Roger was stunned for a moment and looked at each other with the fat man.

Not long ago, the two were worried that Lucien Grange's expansion plan would conflict with the company's "nominal merger, essentially annexation" of Universal Music Group's plan.

However, unexpectedly, when he turned around, Lucien Grange put forward such a plan, and obtained the consent of the senior executives of the world, or acquiesced.

This surprised Roger, but after thinking about it carefully, this was really something Lucien Grange could do.

This 60-year-old man is not as old as he does when he does things, and often makes unexpected moves.

Of course, it just seems unexpected, but in fact, before each execution, the company conducts very detailed investigations and discussions to ensure that these seemingly "whimsical" plans are practical.

It seems like this plan this time is really whimsical.

But in fact, poaching people from Universal Music Group will not only solve the current severe shortage of [Quantum Music], but will not affect the future "integration of" Universal [Quantum Music].

Even if Doug Morris has any targeted actions, we can take advantage of this opportunity to accelerate the merger of the two companies.

Or rather, it is to speed up the speed of Vivendi's "losing confidence" in the world.

After looking at each other for a moment, Roger was the first to speak and asked, "Have Luca made a detailed plan?"

"Well……"

Theodore was speechless for a moment and said, "This is not yet. This plan has just been proposed and is still in the discussion stage. I think this matter is more important, so..."

"You did it right."

Roger nodded and affirmed the other party's actions before Theodore planned to apologize.

Although it is impossible to tell whether Lucien Grange's "thought" is a good or a bad thing for the company, there is no harm in getting this news as soon as possible.

Although even if Theodore does not come to report, such important things will definitely happen in the monthly routine reports.

But it is always good to know some more important things one day earlier.

Although Roger didn't know how to judge Lucien Grange, a seemingly whimsical plan, he was affirmed by Theodore's behavior.

After thinking for a while, Roger still had no clue. He couldn't help but look at his partners and asked, "What do you think?"

“No opinion.”

The fat man shook his head very simply and said, "We know too little. Blind guessing is not good except to add trouble to us."

Although Roger and others trust Lucien Grange's "business ability", they dare not completely ignore such a big thing.

However, the question now is that neither Roger nor Fatty can analyze whether Lucien Grange's seemingly "whimsical" plan is feasible.

If feasible, will there be other negative effects?

Large-scale poaching from Universal Music Group involves not only the "poaching" matter itself, but may also affect a series of other things.

The scope involved is too wide, and to make a more reliable analysis, a lot of "information support" is needed.

"Why are you struggling with so much?"

Anne suddenly interrupted, "Since Luca has proposed this plan, she must have given full consideration. If you have any questions, wouldn't it be better to just ask him? Why are you guessing here?"

“…”

Roger and Fatty looked at each other again, and both of them felt that they were simply stupid.

If I couldn't figure it out, I asked directly. No one thought of such a simple truth.

The atmosphere suddenly fell into some strange and awkward silence.

After a moment of quietness, Roger stood up and said, "You keep recording songs, Theodore, you go to the company with me, I have to talk to Luca."

...

Perhaps because I was working hours, I was lucky to have no traffic jams.

More than half an hour later, Roger and Theodore came to the headquarters of [Quantum Entertainment].

Standing down the building, Roger looked up at the office building and suddenly spoke. He didn't know whether he was talking to Theodore or talking to himself: "[Quantum Entertainment] It's time to change the headquarters."
