Chapter 363 To Alice

"Yes, just like the song you composed at your grandpa's birthday party last time." Oban said, feeling a little embarrassed himself, "I know that such a request is a bit difficult, but I I really hope Rorschach and Teresa can have an engagement party that will be remembered by the world."

Auburn's thinking is actually easy to understand. When he is as rich as he is, no matter how much money he makes, it is just an accumulation of numbers.

The two years after his father's death also made him understand something. Fame, prestige, and wealth are actually external things and will pass away with the end of life.

Only by leaving their own mark on human history will they not be easily forgotten.

It is almost impossible to achieve this in business, unless he can become the president of the United States as a businessman.

However, it is not completely impossible. For example, right now, we can use curves to save the country.

After understanding how famous his niece was, Auburn started thinking about it.

Half a year ago, at Charles's birthday party, Luo Quan's song "Canon" shocked the world music scene. It is known as one of the most beautiful melodies in the world. It has now been written into the music enlightenment of primary and secondary schools in many countries. Teaching materials, she will also have a place in the history of classical music.

As a result, Charles also had good luck.

In the future, when the music teacher introduces this piece to the students, he will definitely say: This was composed by the famous musician Luo Quan at his grandfather Charles’s birthday party. The entire composition does not take more than five minutes!

This kind of reputation cannot be obtained by Auburn even with ten times the wealth.

However, there is now an opportunity to reproduce it. If Luo Quan is willing to compose a song for his son, their family will be included in the history books in the future!

After Luo Quan listened to Oban's appeal, he didn't feel particularly embarrassed. He just glanced at his father.

Whether he can help or not depends on how good his relationship is with Mr. Auburn. She is not a bad person, but she is not unkind either.

"Daughter, the decision on this matter is yours." Eric kicked the ball back, but in this case, if he did not refuse, it would be equivalent to consent.

Luo Quan nodded and said to Oban: "I have been composing a piece of music recently, but the name has already been chosen and it is not easy to change it.

However, when promoting it to reporters, I can ask them to specifically indicate that this is a piece composed for your son and his fiancée. "

"That's great!" Oban almost wanted to laugh when he heard this, "After the banquet is over, there will be a dance, and the opening piano performance will be performed by my niece... Well, Can you make it?"

Luo Quan smiled and agreed: "That should be enough."

Originally I just came on the boat to have fun, but it turned out that just like the last time at my grandpa's place, I still had to show off my skills.

However, this is also a good opportunity for her to make a name for herself. The impetuousness of this era is a bit too much. The fame she gained after completing "Canon" last time did not even last a year, which is really a pity.

However, there is no need to worry that a work of this level will have its sense of existence diluted by time. Just like all classic works in the history of music, there will be a chance to return to the public eye every once in a while.

The song Luo Quan is going to play this time has a slower tempo than "Canon" and is equally popular. It is often seen in music boxes and PHS ringtones, and it has a sense of the times.

But for people in this world, this is a melody that has never appeared before.

The banquet lasted for nearly two hours. The three brothers said they were tired of eating seafood, but in the end they still had round bellies and burped from time to time.

Luo Quan enjoyed the vegetable salad specially prepared for her by the chef. After eating, she looked in the mirror and wiped her mouth clean before preparing to perform on stage.

Seeing that the guests had almost finished eating, Oban stood on the stage with a proud look and said: "Everyone, there will be a dance after the banquet. Guests who have finished their meals are asked to go to the dance hall next to it.

In addition, I am honored to announce to everyone that my best friend Eric's daughter Luoquan just composed a piece of music inspired by Rorschach and Theresa's engagement party, which will also be played at the dance later. I hope you all can come and appreciate her work. "

As soon as these words came out, everyone started talking in surprise.

Luo Quan's reputation was known to almost everyone at the banquet. It was nothing new for the Albert family to have a musical genius, and this musical genius now composed another song. Everyone was curious about this time. What kind of music can she make?

Music and art have always been important tools for these new and old aristocrats to distinguish themselves from the nouveau riche. Even if they don't listen to classical music at all, they still have to look arty. If they leave at this time, doesn't it mean that they are no longer rich? Identity?

Moreover, in addition to appreciating Luo Quan's playing, the following dance is also a relatively important social event.

After all, there are quite a few handsome guys and beauties here today. Romantic Westerners don't mind having a romantic encounter with these outstanding members of the opposite sex after having a good meal and a drink.

Even those husbands who came with their wives had this idea in mind.

So, after the banquet, everyone came to the ball hall next door.

This place is much emptyer than the banquet hall. The piano is located in the north of the room, and the table in the corner is filled with champagne for guests to drink.

Seeing that people were almost coming in, Luo Quan followed Oban to the piano and looked at the guests with a smile, very polite.

There were many acquaintances around, including Senior Jing Gong, Cousin Augusta, Roy, Kevin, Johnson... all looking at her with burning eyes.

No matter what the reason is for these people to gather here, she is the undisputed protagonist at this moment. Even if she just stands there breathing, she can easily touch their heartstrings.

"Being able to marry such a girl as your wife should be the ultimate wish of all men in the world." Roy looked at Jing Gong Masaku next to him, "You are right, Masaku-san."

Desire and admiration flashed in Keimiya Masaku's eyes, but in the end, only loneliness remained. He sighed: "She should not belong to just one person, she should be the treasure of all those who love her."

Roy felt goosebumps all over his body: "I didn't expect that your thoughts are quite philanthropic. If you can say such disgusting words to Luo Quan, maybe she will be moved and fall in love with you."

Jing Gong Masaku rolled his eyes at Roy: "Stop making fun of me... Luo Quan said that she will not fall in love with any man until she is at least forty years old."

Roy was speechless: "Do you believe what the woman says? Maybe she already has a boyfriend, and she's just saying this to perfunctory you."

"No, she has been surrounded by girls since she was a child, and there is no boy she has a good relationship with, no!" Keimiya Masaku's tone is quite firm, this is one of the few things he can be sure of.

Roy shook his head and regretted: "That's such a pity that such a beautiful woman turned out to be a non-marriage person.

No, anti-marriage advocates will not refuse male partners. Is she a lesbian? "

Jing Gong Masaku's face immediately became weird: "That's probably not the case. A reporter asked her similar questions before, but Luo Quan denied such a statement, and according to my observation, although she has a good relationship with her female friends , but not that good.”

Roy was confused: "That's strange, so what is this girl's mentality?"

Keimiya Masaku sighed helplessly: "If I could understand, I wouldn't be single now."

The men in the audience were troubled by Luo Quan. On the stage, Luo Quan had already sat down and put his fingers on the keys.

Luo Quan whispered into the microphone: "I actually composed half of this piece before and named it "For Alice", but the inspiration for the remaining half finally came after attending the banquet, and I was able to write it. Complete.

This is a love poem written to a beautiful girl. On this occasion, it can also be called "To Teresa".

Luo Quan said, looking at Rorschach and Theresa who were not far away: "This is a song title that belongs to you two only. It is a love poem written to Theresa."

Rorschach and Teresa looked at each other, with happy smiles on their faces, their hands tightly clasped together, and no force could separate them.

The surrounding relatives and friends also looked at the two people with blessings on their faces. Everything was so harmonious and beautiful.

After Luo Quan finished talking about his creative journey, he turned to look at the piano and his expression became serious.

Reporters who had been waiting for a long time turned on their cameras one after another, preparing to record this scene that may go down in history.

For a moment, the entire ballroom became quiet.

“Ding dong ding dong ding dong ding ding dong~~~~”

The quiet and beautiful melody flowed from Luo Quan's white fingertips, reverberating in the dance hall.

Like the characteristics of Luo Quan's previous works, it is very catchy from the beginning, and you don't need any appreciation ability to be fascinated by it.

But while taking care of ordinary people, the song itself is fresh and refined. Whether it is rhythm, conception, or overall layout, it is quite mature, and the movement is also very smooth. It is a highly completed work.

In other words, even the most demanding music critics can't fault this piece. It is another piece of classic classical music that can be enjoyed by both refined and popular people!

The song is not long, only about four minutes, but the guests all heard the deep affection from Luo Quan's piano sound. Just like what she said, it is a love poem, a beautiful and touching love poem.

When the performance ended, everyone couldn't wait to give Luo Quan their warmest applause. At this moment, no matter how much wealth or dazzling jewelry, they couldn't compare to the shining beauty of music and art in Luo Quan.

After the performance, Luo Quan bowed to the guests and returned to his family.

"How is it? Is this song good?" Luo Quan looked at the three brothers proudly, almost saying "Come on, praise me" written on his face.

Seifert frowned: "Just average."

Luo Quan's eyes widened: "Wouldn't your conscience hurt if you say such things?"

"I wonder if you can also play at my future weddings?" Leon looked at his sister expectantly. If he could invite her to play, then this would definitely be the wedding of the century!

"Of course. By the way, do you already have a goal?" Luo Quan suddenly became curious.

Leon denied: "There is no goal, it's just an appointment in advance."

After Luo Quan left, the pianist on the ship continued to play the piano, and the dance officially began.

Luo Quan looked around and asked her to dance before she came. It was definitely not a wise move to stay, so he quickly left the dance hall.

Three brothers were also walking together. Young people in the United States have never liked dancing. Only Old Money (old aristocrats) like to engage in spectacle. In comparison, they prefer racing cars, walking dogs, and playing games.

The above two are not available on the ship, and playing games is not interesting now. After thinking about it, I went straight to the casino on the ship.

Seifert came back here in the afternoon, and he had plenty of time tonight. He planned to get his money back with interest. By the way, he also dragged Luo Quan with him, who had nowhere to go, so that she could witness how he became a gambling king. of!

But because I arrived early, there were only a few croupiers and waitresses in the casino who were clearing the card tables.

Luo Quan didn't see the beautiful dealer, nor the escort girls in bunny girl costumes.

Arriving at the front desk of the casino, Seifert threw out a black card and said aggressively: "First give me $5 million in chips!"

The waitress quickly finished swiping the card, and at the same time, someone behind her brought a plate with beautifully shaped black chips piled into a small pyramid. Each chip had a face value of one hundred thousand.

"Sister, do you want to play too?" Leon and Seifert also exchanged some chips and asked Luo Quan.

"Playing cards? Forget it, I'm not very good at it." Luo Quan shook his head decisively.

But even though she was here, it was definitely not interesting just to watch. Fortunately, she saw Pachinko in the casino. She had played this kind of Japanese national gambling game several times, but it was only on an electronic game console, and she had never operated it on a physical machine. , but the difference is not expected to be particularly large.

Compared with playing cards, this kind of thing has almost no technical content. It purely depends on luck. Although you lose more and win less, you won't lose too much if you just try it.

Moreover, the generous Mr. Oban prepared $100,000 in chips for all the guests attending his birthday party. According to the price of Japanese pachinko, $100,000 was enough for her to play for three days and three nights.

"Exchange me 20 US dollars for Pachinko marbles, thank you." Luo Quan said to the waitress.

20 US dollars is equivalent to more than 2,000 yen. According to the parity price of Japanese pachinko, it can be exchanged for one or two thousand marbles.

However, on the ship, a pachinko marble cost 20 yen, so Luo Quan used a $20 chip to get about a hundred marbles.

"Isn't this something only children play? Besides, how much can you win with 20 yuan of chips?" Seifert held the five million chips and looked at the marbles on Luo Quan's plate with disdain.

Luo Quan showed no sign of weakness: "Be careful, you will lose everything before me!"
