Good news: Allen Hill is about to inherit a hereditary Earl title, along with a grand ancestral castle and an army of servants.
Bad news: The massive inheritance tax will strip him of everyth...
According to Hut, the craftsmanship of these craftsmen is absolutely trustworthy and is no less than that of the tailors hidden in the streets of London who make clothes for the royal family.
Alan was skeptical about this statement. It was not like he had never experienced this kind of thing before, and it was just average, not that good.
But this time…
After a simple measurement, Alan first sensed that something was wrong.
Even when making a foot model, it has to be divided into sitting and standing positions.
Depending on the different forces on the foot in different postures, the fixed foot model is also different. It is said that this can better observe the force points of the foot muscles, so that more comfortable shoes can be made based on the difference between the two models.
These treatments are totally different from before!
…
After an hour of measurement, Alan stood by the window and glanced downstairs. He could not see the gate of the manor from his room, only the side.
And because the function of this kind of castle is different, the windows were not designed that big in the past, so forget about wanting the floor-to-ceiling windows, viewing balconies, etc. like in modern buildings.
"Sifis."
"I am here, sir!"
"I'll give you three days to make a plan. If you need to recruit new employees, you must come up with a preliminary plan for me! Especially screenwriters, I need at least two, and they must be more targeted! Writers who have written romance novels are preferred! In terms of gender, there must be at least one man and one woman!"
“…”
Siphis glanced at the Count, who was standing by the window without even turning his head, and felt that his request was a little strange.
What kind of crazy requests are these?
"Uh... Your Excellency, it may not be easy to find all these people in such a short time."
"So, this is an advance plan. I need you to make a plan, and then I will arrange the staff to do the work reasonably. Do you understand?!"
“Understood!”
…
Alan turned his head and looked at Siphis. The eye-catching pink bow tie on his collar made him feel uncomfortable.
"Bring your proposal to the meeting in three days. Also...next time, don't let me see you wearing such a...strange tie."
"Yes, yes... Then, Your Excellency... I will take my leave first."
"Um."
Watching Siphis cautiously leave the bedroom, Alan slowly walked to the small table in the bedroom and took out a manuscript from the drawer.
There were some densely written words on it, but it looked messy due to a lot of revisions.
This is the preliminary plan he made last night.
…
Why did Allen insist on filming the movie himself?
This… apart from the fact that he was originally good at doing this kind of work, this was also his biggest disadvantage right now.
He can write a story outline by recalling some film and television works from memory, but he cannot pay attention to all the details.
Here we need to find another screenwriter to fill in the script lines and the like.
Once the script was finalized, he knew what kind of scene he wanted. In this case, why not just shoot it himself?
If he finds a director from outside to shoot the film, he doesn't know his ability. Can such a director produce the film or television work he needs based on his processed script?
What if the result is not ideal?
Do you want to shoot it again?
He doesn't have that much time to waste, and his current funds don't support him doing that.
…
Back to this film and television project, Allen decided to go big.
In modern business activities, if you want to make money, and make it quick, where should you start?
Apart from those extremely risky and illegal methods, among the remaining legal business methods, money from children and women is relatively the easiest to make!
But those who make this kind of money often go into the real economy, such as toys, maternal and child products, cosmetics, jewelry, luxury goods, etc.
Alan doesn't have time to do these things now, and he can't do them in a short period of time.
But is it possible to make money from these specific groups without any effort?
able!
It's just that the method is a little bit shameful.
For this plan, Alan even didn't get a good rest the whole night last night, just to think of a countermeasure. How to package his rather shameful new plan with a more high-sounding statement?
It was not until just now that he saw the pink bow tie of Siphis that he was inspired.
There is a saying that goes, "Caring for special groups!"
As long as this reason is involved, there are many things, even if they seem to be very improper, but after being packaged with this reason, people will be unable to say anything.
Allen was prepared to use this reason to reach out to a special group that was easily overlooked in Britain - widows and divorced middle-aged and elderly women.
These people are the target group for him to exploit this time.
…
At 2:20 in the afternoon, beside a stream a few hundred meters away from the Hill family estate, Alan sat on a lounge chair set up by the stream, with his legs crossed and an introductory psychology book on his chest for a nap.
"Master...your guest has arrived."
When Xiao Shitou's voice sounded, Alan turned his head slightly and saw the unlucky duo, Hutt George from the Ministry of Noble Affairs and the middle-aged man.
"Haha, nice to see you again, Mr. Hurt, and this gentleman, you didn't introduce yourself last time."
…
The middle-aged man looked a little unhappy. It had only been a few days. Wasn’t it him who didn’t introduce himself last time?
He was almost shot to death before he even had the chance to introduce himself!
If He hadn't pulled him, he might not be standing here now.
The middle-aged man bowed somewhat reluctantly and said, "Sir... It's nice to see you again. You can just call me Fritz! Fritz Woodard."
…
"Hmm...ha." Alan sat up and looked at the two men. This time they had none of the rebelliousness they had when they first met and stood obediently in front of him.
"Do you know why I called you here this time?"
…
"Sir, you haven't collected the inheritance tax?"
Fritz smiled cautiously.
“…”
Allen looked at the idiot expressionlessly, not wanting to pay attention to him. He looked at Hurt and said, "Hurt... I remember that your Noble Affairs Department has the obligation to help the nobles deal with some matters, right? For example, business matters."
"Uh... Your Excellency, with all due respect, we really can't help you with the inheritance tax."
Hurt thought Allen was going to talk to them about delaying the inheritance tax again.
"No, no, no... I need to do a new business project now, but this project involves some international cooperation, so you have to do something for me."
"Sir... my main job now is to cooperate with Mr. Fritz to negotiate the inheritance tax with you."
"One hundred thousand pounds, cash!"
Alan didn't want to hear what his job content was and just showed off his financial ability.
…
Hutt's breathing suddenly stagnated. He hated the traditional nobles like Allen who used money to throw money at people the most!
What's so great about having money?!
Can't even afford the inheritance tax?
Covering his chest with his right hand, Hutt bowed deeply and said, "Your Excellency the Earl of Carmarthen, how can I serve you?"
"Haha, Hurt, I just like being with smart people like you."
