I earn really hard money

Chapter 279 Money is a Great Freedom Tool
"Hey? It's the first time you've called me since you went abroad..."

Taking out the phone, I thought it was my elder sister Qiao Wenwen urging her, but the caller ID showed Tian Ziqiong.

"Hey, little girl, have you behaved lately?"

After answering the phone, He Xia teased.

"Huh... It's okay, it's okay, it seems that you didn't go in!"

Tian Ziqiong patted her chest and breathed a sigh of relief.

"What do you mean? Where are you going? Dreaming?"

He Xia was speechless and asked repeatedly.

Tian Ziqiong pursed her lips and said, "Where are you going? Of course it's a mess, brother, you're on the short video platform again, but this time the popularity is not as high as that of showing off your wealth!"

"What's going on, please explain clearly..."

He Xia frowned, saw a coffee shop nearby, and walked over directly.

Turning suddenly, Gourav and Grek who were following behind were caught off guard and hurriedly followed.

"Let me ask you, you yesterday...well, it should have happened yesterday, I was confused by the time difference, are you with a professor of a certain college or someone, under the tree?"

Tian Ziqiong asked.

He Xia frowned slightly, and casually pointed at the menu board to the waiter who came to inquire, and said, "Yes, what happened yesterday afternoon, and then?"

"Then the police came after you, didn't they?"

He Xia's brows stretched out, and a dazed expression appeared on his face: "Then a video of me being surrounded by policemen in England appeared in China, and it was taken out of context and reported a piece of negative news, is that so?"

"That's right, that's it. When I saw a tall sheriff making a gesture of invitation to you, the video was cut off. The people around you were so surprised. I just saw the video and thought you had already It's in the game!"

Tian Ziqiong said worriedly.

The relationship between the two is not too deep, but it is maintained very well.

"Don't worry, I didn't..."

Just at this moment, the phone rang again, He Xia took it away and glanced at the screen, then said to Tian Ziqiong: "The manager of the company is calling, we can talk again when we have time, I'm fine, don't worry."

After He Xia hung up the phone, he connected Jiao Tianming's call.

"Mr. He, well, good afternoon, is it convenient for you to talk now?"

Jiao Tianming glanced at the faces of his colleagues around him, asked cautiously, and turned on the speakerphone in order to prevent everyone from suspecting him.

"what's the matter?"

He Xia asked calmly, already had a basic guess in her heart, but she had to listen to the other party first.

"That's right. The managers of our various departments, including Manager Zhu of the theater department, are also online. Everyone can hear your speech. I have something to consult with you."

"Tell me, I'm not busy."

He Xia took a cup of milk from Lu Qian's hand. He just casually pointed at the menu and ordered a cup of hot fresh milk.

Jiao Tianming organized the language, expressed the content of the video with precise wording, and then said: "Mr. He, the other party is now making use of the topic, saying that your overseas investment has been investigated by the local police. We need to issue a clarification announcement. Please, um, please Tell me a little bit about the truth."

"What's the title of the video?"

He Xia asked back.

"It is suspected that a certain domestic entertainment boss was investigated by the local police for investing overseas..." Jiao Tianming answered truthfully.

He Xia asked Lu Qian to find the relevant video on her phone, click on it and watch it quickly.

At that time, he, Edward, Professor Smith and others were standing under the Newton apple tree. There were many students and tourists around, and there was an endless stream of people taking pictures. From the perspective of the shooting, there was nothing to see, unless they went back to Trinity College to call the surveillance camera. !

It is easy to misinterpret the whole thing by taking only one video out of context, or even thinking in the opposite direction!
It's like seeing someone delivering supplies to a family in the video, putting a plastic bag on the door and knocking on the door. After watching it, it makes people feel that this little brother is quite polite.

But when people know that the people in the house are forcibly imprisoned, who would think that the person who delivered the supplies is polite?
"Do you know who posted the video?"

He Xia asked in a calm tone, the [Calmness] skill played a very good role.

For a moment, an idea flashed in his mind, but unfortunately it was fleeting, and the speed of thinking did not have time to catch that ray of inspiration.

"The legal department is negotiating with the short video platform, and the technical department is also contributing. Judging from the situation collected so far, it is a brand new account, and the logged-in network address is also encrypted and virtual, and there is no trace..."

Jiao Tianming said helplessly.

He has done related things and was tracked down by He Xia. Later, he did some special research. If he wants to avoid being investigated, he must use a fictitious identity from the beginning of registration, including the following A series of information and login network must be taken into account!
"The first part of what is said in this video is correct. I did invest overseas, but the police came to me because someone reported a false report to the police. It was a misunderstanding. Just tell the truth. I will ask the secretary to record a video later. You guys, the rumors are self-defeating."

He Xia gave an order.

"Okay, Mr. He, that would be great, I have nothing to do here..."

"Mr. He, I have something to say!"

Before Jiao Tianming finished speaking, Zhu Yashu interrupted very impolitely.

Everyone present pursed their lips, thinking, it's over!

Although Zhu Yashu's voice was transmitted to the phone's microphone through the speaker, He Xia could still recognize who it was. He said, "Manager Zhu? What's the matter, tell me."

"We have already dealt with one matter, but considering that the video defamation occurred immediately, I think it is necessary for you to understand, or do you already know about the joint complaint of the three entertainment companies?"

Zhu Yashu asked tentatively.

He Xia looked at Lu Qian and covered the microphone: "The three companies jointly complained about Xia Tian Entertainment?"

Lu Qian shook her head and looked at Lawyer Zhang, who also shook her head...

"I haven't heard of it, tell me in detail!"

He Xia said.

Zhu Yashu roughly recounted what happened yesterday, without adding any subjective judgment of her own.

"After the press conference in the morning, I discovered the defamatory video when I was about to get off work in the evening. Just now, the executives of the three entertainment companies called and said that they were absolutely not involved in this matter, and they are willing to accept any investigation."

After Zhu Yashu finished speaking, there was silence on the other end of the phone, and everyone else in the conference room was very nervous.

After a long while, He Xia's voice echoed in the conference room: "There should be no connection between these two matters. The purpose of those three entertainment companies is to make us cut our salary and benefits. If they really did it, they should make a complaint before filing a complaint." Public opinion pressure, not afterward!"

Compared with the following video incidents, this complaint is much more normal. In the past, He Xia would have resolved it in a high-profile way, but now he doesn't have that kind of thought, or he is not willing to go to that effort anymore.

Everyone in the meeting room nodded, feeling that Boss He's analysis made some sense, and everything he did had to have a motive and purpose. It was impossible for a big company to carry out aimless massacres like a murderous maniac!

"I know about these few things. You are all busy with your own business. By the way, don't worry about leaving the clipped video on the platform!"

"Do not care?"

Yuan Jingpeng asked in surprise. Judging from the video, the boss is about to be taken away by the police. This is a very bad thing. Although they will release a message to clarify, some people don't watch the clarification at all...

"Mr. He, you... You can take a look at the impact of this incident on the company's stock."

Following the outflow of the video, Xia Tian Entertainment, which had just changed its name on NASDAQ, plummeted by five percentage points. This was entirely due to He Xia's control of most of the circulation, otherwise it would have dropped fifteen points at least!

He Xia doesn't know about stocks at all, and even if he knew, he wouldn't care. Now that more than 80.00% of the outstanding shares are in his hands, no one can do anything about it.

"Don't worry, the video must be kept, and another person will be arranged to carefully observe the movement of public opinion to see who is leading the rhythm and what kind of rhythm it is leading!"

Everyone suddenly realized that Boss He was planning to fish, but the price of fishing was a bit high!
"Understood, Mr. He, take care of your health overseas, I have nothing to do."

"I'll send you the video later, that's all!"

After finishing speaking, He Xia hung up the phone.

"He Xia, does this matter smell a bit wrong?"

Lu Qian walked up to He Xia and whispered, with doubts in her eyes.

He Xia nodded slightly, and the inspiration that flashed through his mind before flickered again, and frowned, "Did I think wrong before?"

The clipping of the video on the domestic short video website is definitely not accidental. He Xia can be sure that this is a well-planned slander, but who is behind the scenes and can even contact the Cambridgeshire police?
When the incident happened, there was only one answer in He Xia's mind, that is, the members of the Lunsterma family did some meaningless things to disgust themselves and make themselves look ugly, but looking back now, it doesn't look like it.

If it is really the people of the Lunsterma family who are doing the tricks, it is unlikely that the matter will be brought to the media of the Celestial Dynasty, because I own a small proportion of the industry in the Celestial Dynasty, even if I smear it, it will not affect anything, let alone say Stop the cooperation between yourself and Professor Smith.

He Xia hooked his fingers to Gourav who was not far away, and when the other party got close, the two exchanged a few words in a low voice, and He Xia nodded, and Gourav left in a hurry.

The investigation into the lead officer needs to be reopened.

"He Xia, so you are here..."

When Gourav left the coffee shop, Qiao Wenwen appeared on the side of the street, dragging a suitcase specially used to hold clothes.

"Hi, Da Wenwen!"

He Xia greeted him with a smile, and put aside the troublesome things, it's not a big deal anyway.

"When you didn't see anyone for a long time, you were planning to go to a tailor shop over there to take samples, and after a long time, you sat here and drank coffee leisurely..."

Qiao Wenwen curled her lips.

He Xia took a few sips from the cup, her lips were frothy, and she said with a smile, "Where is the coffee? It's obviously milk. Do you want it?"

"I want...you big-headed ghost!"

Qiao Wenwen frowned, thinking to herself why this person was joking around regardless of the occasion, didn't she see the beautiful secretary and lawyer at the side quickly turn around to avoid suspicion?
"Do you still want to order clothes?"

"Of course, the company called just now, so I can sit down and have a drink, sorry!"

He Xia wiped her mouth with a napkin, gestured for Elisa to pay, stood up and walked to Qiao Wenwen's side.

"No, it's alright..."

Qiao Wenwen didn't expect He Xia to explain it to her formally, which was quite surprising, after all, she was employed by He Xia, and the previous complaints were just a joke.

"Where is the shop you mentioned, is the master okay, and how famous is it, let's talk about it in advance, if you are not famous, don't bother to fool me!"

He Xia said with a smile.

"Big, knowing that you like big, I specially chose Gieves&Hawkes, the oldest tailor shop on this street, is it famous enough?"

Qiao Wenwen waved to the street, signaling He Xia to go this way.

"The oldest? Haven't you studied the advertising law of China? Is it true? It's the oldest!"

Qiao Wenwen twitched the corners of her mouth and said with a smile: "I don't dare to say casually if I'm not sure. This Savile Row was established in [-], and the Jean Van Kees tailor shop was born in [-]. These are all testable. History is not made up by me, Boss He, what else can I say?"

"Hey!" He Xia laughed strangely, and said, "Sure enough, I was fooled. Just now, my assistant bodyguard introduced to me that the first tailor shop on this street appeared in [-]. What is it called? Now, Eliza?"

"Henry Poole, Mr. Ho."

Eliza replied.

Qiao Wenwen shrugged her shoulders, nodded, and said, "Actually... What Ms. Elisa said can't be wrong, but I'm not wrong. Henry Poole was the first tailor shop on Savile Row, but Jivan Ke It was indeed born in [-], older than Henry Poole!"

"It's just that the original Jivan Kesi was a clothing store, and it was a clothing store with British royal certification, specializing in providing uniforms for the British Army and Navy, and it was later transformed into a tailor shop."

"Mr. He, I don't know there is such a story in it, I'm sorry."

Elisa made a sorry expression. As an assistant bodyguard, she shouldn't provide wrong information to the boss.

He Xia took a deep breath and spread his hands, "I think you both are right, it's just that the standards are different. Come on, Jivan Kess, I believe the tailors in this shop must be very good."

"You can rest assured about this. Many top politicians, royal families and rich people you can name are customers of this store, so... Well, if you want to jump in line, it will be very difficult."

Seemingly anticipating that He Xia would activate the banknote ability, Qiao Wenwen took the vaccination in advance.

He Xia made a nonchalant expression, and it felt pretty good to wait in line with those princes, presidents, and prime ministers for clothes.

While speaking, a group of people came to the door of Jivan Kesi's store. The old stone building, the black wooden door, and the floor-to-ceiling glass windows neatly displayed a row of models in suits.

Walk up the stone steps, push the door and hit the bell to make a series of pleasant sounds, instantly adding vitality to the calm and old environment.

The only shopping guide looked at the door and found that it was Qiao Wenwen. He smiled and nodded with everyone, and continued to return to his work.

He Xia stood at the door and looked at the environment of the store. On the left side were all kinds of finished garments, and on the right side were two counters dedicated to displaying accessories. The remaining 20 square meters were tailor work areas. You could see a door leading to the back , and another workshop.

The number of electric lights in the house is comparable to Zhou Shiyu's residence, and the lighting is very sufficient, allowing customers to see the details of the clothing clearly.

Three tailors, old, middle-aged and young, are working hard at the over eight-square-meter workbench. There are three customers in the store, but there is only one shopping guide. It can be seen that this tailor shop does not focus on retail.

"Have you seen the oldest master, the queen tailor of the most well-dressed man in the world!"

Qiao Wenwen took He Xia aside and introduced him in a low voice.

He Xia looked at Qiao Wenwen in astonishment, and asked, "The man who knows how to wear the most clothes in the world? Who?"

He was very curious, how can there be a word for this kind of thing?
"You should be familiar with this person!" Qiao Wenwen moved closer to He Xia's ear and said a name.

"The old prince?" He Xia was even more surprised, and asked: "The old prince is not tall, and his looks are not outstanding, are you serious?"

Qiao Wenwen gave He Xia a look that you don't understand, and said: "It is precisely because the hardware conditions are not outstanding, which can better highlight the old prince's attention to clothing and taste, come, let me show you some photos. understood!"

She put the large suitcase aside, took out her phone to find the photos, and flipped through them one by one.

He Xia didn't believe it at first, but after seeing more than a dozen photos of the old prince with many dignitaries and celebrities, he understood what Qiao Wenwen said.

"One thing to say, the old prince's temperament and outfits are really... very decent, natural, unpretentious and very suitable for the environment."

Now it was Qiao Wenwen's turn to be surprised, she put away her phone, and said, "Oh, I can't tell, Boss He, the review is very good, well, let's go, let's feel the taste of the old prince."

The process of ordering is very boring, and at the same time, He Xia understands how exquisite a suit can be.

Various neckline matching linings, various button types are suitable for the occasion, not to mention the cuffs, hem, pockets, even if it is an embroidery, because it belongs to He Xia alone, it needs to be specially designed by someone!
The choice of fabric is even more daunting. There are thousands of choices and tens of thousands of combinations of colors, materials and different weaving methods.

Fortunately, Boss He doesn't need to consider the budget. Whether it's fabrics or linings, all are exclusively for the top Sagabal brand, and the annual output is so low that only billionaires are willing to consume it!
Money is the greatest tool of freedom, will be open to the poor, power will never be, money can buy it here, no need to think about qualifications, there will be no "you are not qualified" bullshit!

The process of measuring the body is indeed very troublesome, and each part requires detailed data, but the master's technique is not as erratic as Qiao Wenwen's, which aroused He Xia's strong suspicion.

Of course Qiao Wenwen knew what was going on, she went to the side and chatted with another tailor, pretending she didn't know anything.

"Wait for me..."

He Xia thought to herself, she was always the only one who took advantage of others, but this time Qiao Wenwen took advantage of her, she had to get the place back, find an opportunity, don't worry!
Lu Qian recorded a few videos of He Xia communicating with the old tailor, and then sent them to Jiao Tianming. With these videos as material, it is enough to break the suspicions of the outside world!

After being busy for more than an hour, He Xia and his party walked out of the tailor shop. Qiao Wenwen had other things to do, so they said goodbye.

During the production process, you need to try it on at least twice, and there will be a special person responsible for recording the feeling of the try-on. The custom-made cost of a suit exceeds [-] pounds. These services are all due.

While customizing clothes for herself, He Xia asked her staff to pick out some clothes in the store.

Although it is not a high-end order, it is still made by top tailors. From the shape to the workmanship, it is by no means comparable to the assembly line products of luxury brands.

"Boss, this dress is too good. Look, mine doesn't affect my arms at all, haha."

Yang Zicheng is the happiest. He used to wear formal clothes every day when he was working, but the most expensive suit in his wardrobe was only more than 600.

This time, I changed to a suit worth seven or eight thousand pounds. It felt like a shotgun change, and I couldn't wait to put it on.

"To tell you the truth, I'm a bit reluctant to wear it. If I want to change it, I have to hang it in the closet properly, haha!"

"Slowly you get used to it."

He Xia smiled and patted him on the shoulder, then turned to Lucy and said, "Go book a hotel, and then rest by yourself. Don't forget about going to France tomorrow. I'll go to Hungerford to have a look."

When he was in the tailor shop before, he received a call from the housekeeper Robert, and learned that he had arrived at the castle. The construction team arranged by Pilias and the technical director of Parkwood Company had also arrived, and he planned to go over to take a look at the situation.

"Ok!"

Lucy replied cheerfully.

They parted ways, the Cavaliers XV had just driven out of Mayfair, and He Xia was admiring the crowds in a hurry on the street when suddenly the phone rang, and he casually took it out and glanced at the screen, with a bewildered look on his face.

"Today is really weird!"

Couldn't help muttering.

Tian Ziqiong's call made sense before. Although they hadn't contacted for a long time, the relationship between the two was unusual, but He Xia was a little puzzled by the person who would call!

"What does Qin Haiyang want me to do?"

He Xia stared at the phone screen in a daze, and drew a sentence on the grievances and grievances between her dairy company and Dabei Animal Husbandry. There shouldn't be anything that needs to be contacted!

After ringing for more than ten seconds, He Xia felt curious and decided to listen.

"Boss He?"

When the phone was connected, Qin Haiyang's voice sounded, and the surroundings were quiet.

"It's me, Manager Qin, I don't know what you can do with me?"

He Xia asked.

"Boss He, I wonder if it's inconvenient for you to speak now?" Qin Haiyang asked cautiously.

He Xia frowned, looked at the people around him, and said, "I'm fine, I don't know if Manager Qin has anything to say?"

"It's like this..." Qin Haiyang hesitated for a while, and organized the language: "Boss He, I want to make one thing clear. There were some commercial frictions between Dabei Animal Husbandry and Xia Tian Dairy before, and finally the previous suspicions were settled. We don't know each other, right?"

He Xia frowned even tighter, what the hell was going on, what he said was weird, and a simple "hmm" was a response.

"Since we are not enemies, let me consider them friends. As friends, I have something to tell you." Qin Haiyang said cautiously.

He Xia's doubts grew, and he raised his legs and said, "Manager Qin, please speak up if you have something to say."

"Boss He, before you say anything, you have to promise me one thing, that is, no matter what, don't tell anyone that I said it."

Qin Haiyang continued to grumble.

If it wasn't for his curiosity and the passive skill of [Calm] suppressing his impatience, He Xia would have hung up the phone.

"Don't worry, I'm not that kind of person."

"Okay, I believe you!" Qin Haiyang gritted his teeth and said, "Someone is eyeing your summer milk business!"
