Capítulo 10: Vampirism is an Art
Klaus (POV)
"Well, since I'm going to help you find the people you need, at least tell me which companies you want to invest in, since I get a lot of tips from my friends who work in stocks, so if the company you're thinking of investing in is the one they suggested I invest in, I'll be reassured because I'll know it's a company with potential. "
Listening to what my father was saying, I thought it made a lot of sense if I didn't know the future. Although companies like Amazon would make me a lot of money in the future, to multiply the capital I will get from book sales, companies like the legendary bald guy's, which do not pay dividends would not help me at this time.
Technology companies are the easiest way to acquire capital at the moment, for example a startup like facebook, which would be valued at over a billion on its listing the minimum investment, earning the maximum profit. And even if I invested now, I would only have to wait a few years to see my money multiply, but telling that my father, would only make my current state more difficult, so stating that I want to get involved with venture capital is out of the question.
"Sure, no problem the company I'm going to invest some of my money in is Amazon, it's a company that is constantly developing and always expanding, appreciating a lot in recent years and since it's a company that started with selling books, I think it matches my status as a writer. "
Bruce thought for a moment and then remembered that he had heard of this company, but as an internet based company the shadow of the bubble was still present. However, as a company he had heard of, that meant that Klaus had really given it a lot of thought.
"All right, Klaus I will find the people you need. "
After breakfast, Klaus was preparing for the arrival of Anthony, his music teacher. Today was the first day of practice, after months of pure theory he can't help but curse in his mind 'that bastard is finally letting me play on the piano. '
Anthony is a typical middle aged Brit, sometimes I am amazed at the shit he does just to complicate such simple things. The things I see as waste of energy, he sees as elegance, but it's not all bad...just the tea he brews.
On the bright side, the man is a bottomless pit of music theory, which helped me quickly increase my knowledge to an amazing B+, of course I became his darling because of my memory so he never has to go over the content, on the other hand Kendall really suffers from this, she is one past time away from telling him to go fuck himself.
Hearing the sound of the doorbell, I know that the British stooge has arrived.
"Good morning Professor Morris! " Kendall and I greet Anthony
"Good morning, Mr. and Mrs. Jenner, are you ready for practice? "
"YES!!!"
Smiling graciously Anthony leads the children towards the piano
"What music?" asked Anthony
After some thought, I answer, "A language"
"Music is a way to convey feelings through rhythmic sounds" Says Kendall
With satisfaction Anthony says, "Both are correct, like other languages imitation is the main factor in learning a new language, to learn a new instrument it is fundamental to constantly practice imitation for familiarization, be it a motor coordination, ear calibration and the main one which is to fully know the instrument you are playing. "
"Today I will teach "Ode to Joy" from Ludwig van Beethoven's Symphony No. 9 and you will imitate, we will start only with the right hand, as we have already studied the division of the keyboard, and about the notes, I will speak only note names and you will play, all right?"
"Yes Professor Morris" said Kendall and Klaus
"1, 2, 3... G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G G This is the first phrase. Anthony speaking as the children followed his commands
The class lasted another 2 hours, and I finally got the piano E-skill, but I will upgrade it quickly, and when I have a good base I will start writing songs to add to my future copyright company earning money selling them or singing in the future.
After this, a few more days passed and Klaus got used to asking if his father had already gotten the people. He still practiced and studied every day at home, I am getting better at the piano every day, and I have started a new book, this time Twilight, still a long way to go.
' Lucy was traveling and would be back in 1 month, she agreed initially because of Anna, but is waiting to meet me in person to sign the contract, which gives me time. Yesterday I got the news that my manuscript was accepted, my father's friend works as an editor at Simon & Schuster, after reading the manuscript he saw that the book was of great quality, and didn't need many corrections and sent a message to come and sign the contract.
What made me very happy is that he offered 20% of the royalties for all the copyrights, I see that he values the book, however, I will sell only the text rights not the TV rights and consumables and how will I do that? Never mind, that's what lawyers are for, to be shameless vampires. '
