| | Oh yeah– far too sharp for his own good. This was headed down a one way road to brute force, and Jesse knew he had to step up his game if he wanted any hope of sparing this young many any gentility Talon would allow him to. But the little frog prince was asking too many of the right questions, and digging too far below the surface of the offer.
❝ If truth be told, I’m never sent out to pitch to people. Said I’m usually a little too honest ‘bout what I say. So, Mr. -dos Santos what you would be doing exactly is creating music. Exactly as you are, except for a private company who will not be redistributing it. And if you’re inclined t’help in sound wave technological advances, then so be it, but that’s not what we’re looking for from you. ❞
Simple. Easy. The truth.
The only way he can put it without pressing too far in to the companies
❝ You would be paid your average world-record sales, plus a commission fee, and the rights to the music you produce under the contract would be put under full legal rights of the company. We like what you do, kid, and that’s all we’re askin’ you t’do. I can give you a week or two t’think on it, if you need it… but trust me when I say this isn’t an offer you can’t pass up. ❞
The only warning Lucio would be getting, if he denied.
Again with the smooth-talking, but at least this time the guy had explained what he would be doing in detail. More or less. Something told him this wasn’t all of it, though. Just the pretty picture on the outside to get people like to go for it. See it as an opportunity he can’t back down from, only to regret once he would be in too deep. That was how most organizations worked, was it not? Perfect image on the outside, but what was going inside, wasn’t for the public to see.
Which was kind of the reason the DJ was inching more and more to saying no, rather than giving it much thought. Producing music like he’d done so far was what suited him just fine, rather than a contract to some unknown company, which could very well turn the whole gig against him sooner or later. So thanks, but no thanks, or whatever that saying was.
“Producing my music the way I do now has served me
well enough, amigo. I don’t need some company to back
me up, while at it, so as nice and inviting as this
all sounds, I’m gonna have to decline, man.”
Maybe it was an offer Lucio couldn’t pass up and maybe he would be giving up an opportunity of a lifetime, but better safe now than sorry later, right? “Sorry, man, I’m sure your boss or someone’s gonna give you crap for this, but uh for a moment there you did have me considering it.”
