In the fifties of the twentieth century, rock 'n' roll was booming, and it was Carpenter Records that led this development. As a new company in the record market, it has many rock stars such as the Carpenter brothers, little Richard, Elvis Presley, Chuck, Bill Harry, and many others.

One or two of them are enough to prop up the record market of a large company, and Carpenter Records can have so many hot stars at once, which makes other record companies look extremely hot.

BMG, EMI, CBS, RCA and other record companies have tried to dig into the corner of Carpenter Records more than once, but each time to no avail. Alex is well aware of the importance of talent, and he will always be stingy with monetary rewards for his own people. More importantly, he attaches great importance to these talented people and gives them a lot of autonomy.

For big labels, market data is everything, and any reduction in market share is something to be avoided. But real artists don't think about it that much, they are mostly emotional creatures, and they rarely create works for the sake of data. Strangely, people mostly like singers with personality. Losing one's own style, or constantly repeating oneself, pushes one's artistic career down the road to death.

Yes, Carpenter Records gives talented stars autonomy, which can lead to erratic sales of their records, going up and down, like a roller coaster. However, this can often stimulate their desire to create, and in the process, they slowly form their own style.

At the carpenter's company, the most stable record sales were probably the Carpenter brothers. The band with Alex and Richard is much better than the rest of the company, both in terms of appeal and the quantity and quality of creation. Now the Carpenter brothers may have to change their name, because this team has one more member, and that is their little sister Karen Carpenter.

Karen, who is now more than 7 years old this year, is already a mature singer, and like her two older brothers, she has received professional music training since childhood. Karen is clearly more talented in music than Richard, and it's hard to say if he's stronger than Alex.

Cullen also has a high IQ, and although he didn't go to a specific test, on the surface, he is no worse than Richard.

She also performed on stage at the age of three or four, and like her brother, she was amazed by her first performance. Since there were already examples of the Carpenter brothers, people quickly adapted to Cullen's clever precociousness.

It didn't take long for Karen to join the ranks of professional singers, and she was already recording records at the age of four. This is much earlier than Alex, after all, this kind of thing depends on chance, and it is much easier to have your own record company.

Alex also specially wrote a lot of children's songs for Karen, these songs he had already written, and he was originally going to sing them to himself, but who knew that he never had the opportunity. It's not bad for Karen now, at least in terms of singing, Karen is much better than Alex who doesn't use his abilities.

As for writing songs for Richard, Alex also gave them a few times, but unfortunately, Richard didn't really want to sing these songs. Unless Alex comes up with a song that happens to match Richard's interests, most of the time, Richard will turn it down.

I don't know if Lu Dao was influenced by Alex, but the songs Richard wrote were not mainly country music, but more rock music. There are also a few pieces of country music once in a while, just not in large numbers.

In Alex's memory, Richard must have hated rock music, but he didn't expect to become a pioneer of rock music.

During this period, the Carpenter brothers were pioneers of rock 'n' roll among the stars of rock 'n' roll, and they continue to lead the way in the direction of rock 'n' roll.

Bill Harry is following in the footsteps of the Carpenter brothers, constantly amplifying the influence of rock music. In a way, Bill made up for the Carpenter brothers' inability to go on tour. Many people learned about the Carpenter Brothers through Bill's music, which indirectly increased the Carpenter Brothers' user base.

As for Elvis, Elvis Presley, he proved how sexy this type of music can become, and became the spiritual mentor of the youth of this era. In the same way, he suffered a lot of attacks, and those parents thought that Elvis was just a cowardly, howling young man.

Music and art, they didn't find it in Elvis Presley. Due to the opposition of parents, it has aroused the interest of those young people in Elvis, and young people in adolescence are like this, the more forbidden things they want. This has made Elvis Presley increase a lot of young fans, and such fans are fanatical and unreasonable.

Another rock star at Carpenter Records, Chuck Berry, is a bit more clever, and his music combines the best of rock and blues music, making it clear that the two types of music are deeply related. Chuck's songs may not be as popular with young people as Elvis Presley, but they don't resist either. Among adults, there is also a large number of people who like this kind of rock music developed from blues music.

In other words, Chuck's music records have been able to please both sides, and sales have been steady.

As for Little Richard, he showed the charm of rock music by playing the piano, which opened people's eyes, and many people were surprised to sigh after listening to his records: "It turns out that the piano can be played like this!" ”

Carpenter Records, with so many rock and roll talents, has already squeezed other companies down in terms of market share. Anyone familiar with the industry knows that Carpenter Records will certainly be able to have a place in the record world like other big record labels.

On this day, Alex had just returned from the Rocket Research Institute of the Interstellar Technique Company. He plans to take some time to record and check out Carpenter's Records, which is where the Carpenter family got their starts. If he hadn't insisted on swallowing the record company, maybe they would still be working for people to make records.

Carpenter Records has moved, and the original building is no longer large enough to accommodate so many employees.

At Alex's insistence, the company's headquarters moved to the suburbs of New York. A large plot of land was bought here, and a whole complex of buildings was built. In order to facilitate the life of employees, dormitory buildings, supermarkets, hospitals, schools, and so on were built.

It's a bit far away and needs to be driven over. Escorted by bodyguards, Alex, who was sitting in the car, inadvertently looked in the rearview mirror and found something unusual.

"Hey! Did you notice the car in the back? ”

At Alex's prompting, several bodyguards in the car also noticed the strangeness of the car. The car looked no different from the others, the only suspicious thing was that it had been following them not far away.

If it's in a big city like New York, you probably won't notice. After all, on the road, it is not strange to have vehicles on the same road. But in this kind of suburb, it is impossible not to be suspicious if it has been followed.

"Don't worry, boss, let's immediately let the people from Group B and Group C test it out to see if they follow all the time."

One of the bodyguards picked up the walkie-talkie and asked the other two cars to block each other's path and see who was in the car by the way.

Now Alex always brings several groups of bodyguards with him, a group of three, and usually, he always keeps 9 bodyguards around. These bodyguards were dressed like normal people, which was required by Alex. When protecting, he also pretends to be irrelevant people, mixing with the general population. Only when the unexpected happens, will you come forward to protect yourself.

After becoming famous, there were such and such troubles, and he didn't want to encounter the kind of things in McCann's Tavern again. If he hadn't had the protection of his bodyguards, he would now be surrounded by crowds whenever he appeared in public.

Alex used to hate bodyguards following him, and he thought that this time he was restricting his freedom of movement. After becoming famous, he discovered that having a bodyguard could guarantee his personal privacy and freedom. Crazy fans have all ages, and if there is no one to protect him, he will not be able to move an inch a long time ago.

“BOSS！ They say they're the ones the FBI sent to protect you. We checked and the documents they presented were genuine. ”

Soon, the other end of the intercom passed this information. Hearing the word FBI, Alex couldn't help but chuckle in his heart.

The so-called FBI is the abbreviation of the Federal Bureau of Investigation in the United States, and it is affiliated with the United States Department of Justice. The FBI's mission is to investigate violations of federal crimes while supporting the law with actions. In order to protect the United States, intelligence activities and terrorist activities from foreign countries can be investigated.

None of this is why Alex is worried, he is worried about the person in charge of the FBI. As the first director of the FBI, Edgar Hoover served from his position until his death, serving for almost half a century. His fame far surpassed that of a movie star, and his power was beyond the reach of the president.

Someone once wrote a biography of him, writing: "Hoover knew how to keep secrets, and this is the real reason for his success." Not only did he know these secrets, but no one knew what secrets he knew. ”

When Alex learns that the latest person with him is the FBI, he immediately thinks of his biggest secret. He never spoke of it to anyone, nor did he write it down on a single piece of paper.

But he was still worried because he was acting too much like Tesla. And Turst's performance is too much like a traversal, who knows if he leaked this secret before his death. After Tesla's death, the FBI scraped all the documents and did not declassify them for almost a century.

Alex suppressed the doubts in his heart and ordered, "Let them get out of the way, and don't follow behind my back again." ”

"But the boss, they claim to have gotten word that someone is going to work against you."

The bodyguard immediately repeated the FBI's statement, which was nothing more than that the FBI had heard unidentified information claiming that it was preparing to deal with Alex, a young billionaire. Reasons like these are simply not credible to Alex.

"No more talk, let them go back, I don't need their protection."

How dare Alex, who has a ghost in his heart, let the FBI follow, he has been thinking about whether to hide for a while, preferably like Hughes, and hide in a secret base. It's better to be a hermit than to be caught in a research institute, at least not to be subjected to inhuman torture.
