Chapter 107 With just a little trick, she could eliminate Tia.
In reality, this executive's salary in Shanghai was simply not enough to support him buying five or six large villas.
Not to mention the freedom to own a luxury car.
Therefore, much of his previous income came from collaborations with artists.
For every piece of work he sells, in addition to Tia's cut, he also takes an extra 15% as a service fee.
Furthermore, he takes a cut of the funds allocated by Tia for every artist who holds an exhibition, and he also takes a cut of the profits from the sale of paintings and souvenirs by the artists, making money from both ends.
For example, if Tia's traveling art exhibition, which cost 50 million, can be successfully held, this executive will earn at least 10 million in income.
And these are just some of the more respectable earnings he has.
In addition, there are even grayer areas.
These are also referred to by industry insiders as Tia's "star-making plan".
The "star-making plan" refers to a gallery executive supporting young, unconnected artists, promoting them through online marketing to make them famous, then artificially manipulating the prices of their works to skyrocket, and finally holding exhibitions to allow wealthy people to purchase the works under the guise of buying paintings, but in reality, it is to help the wealthy evade taxes and launder money.
In addition, there are also the ugly children of packaged capitalists, who use talented but penniless young artists as ghostwriters, ostensibly to hold feminist art exhibitions, but in reality to put up photos of female artists next to the paintings for rich people to "choose concubines," and so on.
These incidents, one by one, are truly shocking.
That "executive" has now essentially become the local tyrant of "Tia" and has been operating in a gray area of illegality and disorder.
Xie Junfei, as Tia's boss, had a very good relationship with Zhu's uncle since childhood, and his political acumen was much more sensitive than that stupid executive.
Her second brother had mentioned to her in a veiled way some time ago that the higher-ups had taken notice of Tia.
If Xie Junfei doesn't make changes, then Tia will inevitably fail sooner or later, and will most likely have to close down.
That executive holds a high position in the art world, and his position has become increasingly entrenched over the years. If he is dismissed rashly, it will inevitably provoke retaliation, which would severely damage Tia.
Furthermore, Xie Junfei did not want to rely on Huo Shen and the Huo family's resources to solve everything, which required a great deal of effort.
Including the high-level officials' pledge and the professor's leak of information before the art exhibition, all of these were actually orchestrated by Xie Junfei.
Even the doctoral student holding up his ID card was someone Xie Junfei found.
When she went to the art academy to find the doctoral student, the female doctoral student was already on the verge of collapse due to the professor's harassment, and had even attempted suicide by cutting her wrists in her dormitory.
Xie Junfei rescued her and said that as long as the doctoral student was willing to come forward to testify, Xie Junfei would not only guarantee her graduation, but also have Tia sign a contract with her and find her a job.
The doctoral student agreed.
Initially, the news of the doctoral student reporting his professor wasn't very popular. It was Xie Junfei who had his public relations team get involved, buying online trolls and contacting marketing accounts to get the news trending.
Things proceeded quickly as Xie Junfei had planned.
The professor's career has collapsed, and the executives' gamble has failed, leading to their impending dismissal.
In reality, Tia didn't actually lose all 50 million.
Xie Junfei has already contacted a well-known feminist painter abroad. Her resume is very impressive. She was a war correspondent and often advocates for peace and women's independence in her paintings. She is widely praised in the international community.
Furthermore, that painter recently met with the Chief Executive in Hong Kong and gave a speech, the content of which was very accurate and is currently widely recognized and welcomed in mainland China, Hong Kong, Macao and Taiwan.
Coincidentally, Xie Junfei and this painter had a very close relationship.
The artist knew that Xie Junfei was in trouble and was very willing to help. He even took out a small number of his paintings that had not yet been made public, and prepared to hold an exhibition and charity sale in mainland China.
All proceeds from the charity sale will be donated to girls' high schools in the country as an educational fund for the girls.
Xie Junfei played this game of chess exceptionally well.
She never expected that the second wife, whom she had never met before, would lend her a helping hand and be willing to use the Huo family's resources to help her.
This surprised Xie Junfei, who was used to working alone, but also touched her deeply.
After all, having someone to rely on and having no one behind you are two different things.
Holland, sitting on the sofa, was completely stunned.
She could tell Xie Junfei was capable, but she never imagined she was this capable!
This little girl is really bold. She's only an adult, yet she's managed to set up such a grand scheme that even Holland didn't see through.
The most terrifying thing is that everything actually happened exactly as Xie Junfei had predicted.
Her prediction turned out to be almost identical to reality.
Thinking about this, Holland's opinion of Xie Junfei changed so drastically for the first time.
Although she liked Xie Junfei before, it was only as an elder's appreciation for a younger generation. But this time, it turned into heartfelt respect.
While I admire them, I feel mostly fortunate.
I feel fortunate to have chosen such a capable successor for Venus.
Holland believed that as long as Xie Junfei could take over, Venus would definitely have a bright future.
Thinking of this, Holland suddenly remembered something and asked Xie Junfei in return:
"What if this senior executive doesn't want to leave?"
“I think he was just belittling you, trying to stay with Tia.”
Before Xie Junfei could return, the servant knocked on the door and respectfully said:
"Young Madam, the Master asked if you have finished your work. If you have, he is waiting for you in the main house."
Xie Junfei responded, then gracefully stood up and patted Holland on the shoulder:
"Don't worry, he'll have to leave this time whether he wants to or not."
"Moreover, I will not only let him go, but I will also let him take the henchmen he has painstakingly cultivated with him."
"In the end, I was able to eliminate Tia with just tens of millions of dollars."
Holland was stunned for a moment. At first, he didn't understand what Xie Junfei meant. Now, thinking about the recording on Xie Junfei's phone, he immediately felt a chill run down his spine.
Xie Junfei was no longer as frail as before.
She is young, shrewd, wealthy, well-connected, and can control public opinion to a certain extent.
In addition, Huo Shen stood unconditionally behind her.
This girl, barely eighteen years old, already has a bright and promising future ahead of her.
