"Miss Asia" program is also being held, this time, they follow Henry's instructions to do, packaging, attend various activities to attract the audience's attention. The last stop, will come to the United States to participate in "Victoria's Secret" company's first "Weimi fashion show"!!!

Weimi fashion show was supposed to start in 1995, but when Henry decided to buy "Victoria's Secret", it was destined to be held four years ahead of schedule!!!

In the past, the products of Vitoria's Secret (Victoria's-Secret) include women's underwear, bra, underwear, swimsuit, casual wear, women's shoes, cosmetics and all kinds of matching clothing, luxury shorts, perfume cosmetics and related books. It is one of the most famous and sexy underwear brands in the world.

Basically, women know this brand!

As for men, hehe... The angel of Weimi is so sexy!!!

In 1995, Weimi fashion show was held for the first time, which attracted global attention and was reported as a "century underwear event" by the world's major media!!! Since then, every year will hold a Weimi fashion show, and each time will cause global attention, causing a huge sensation, every year on the front page of major newspapers!!!

Victoria's secret belongs to the Limited Brands Group, a well-known middle and high-end clothing manufacturer in the United States. At present, it has established hundreds of stores in the United States and has developed well. Its annual sales have exceeded one billion US dollars! It's very difficult to acquire such a company!

However, there are many brand companies under the Limited Brands Group. If the conditions given are good, it is possible to sell Victoria's secret! Limited Brands Group often sold its subsidiaries in previous lives and made a lot of money!

And Victoria's secret is not as hot and influential as later generations, and IP value is not big enough!

Now, Victoria's secret is just a chain store selling underwear!

Victoria's secret is really on fire after the Weimi fashion show!!!

Henry set up a clothing production company in California, Williams clothing group, and then made a request to Limited Brands Group to acquire "Victoria's Secret"!

When the other party inquired, it was Henry Williams, the world's super rich man, who wanted to buy his own company. He immediately considered it and agreed to negotiate! I thought that if the other party has money, if I really want to buy it, I can make a lot of money from him. After that, I will build a new brand!

Henry came to the Limited Brands Group Company in person. He attached great importance to this large acquisition involving billions of dollars! This time, Henry is going to borrow money from Williams bank to buy Victoria's secret. His current deposit is not so much... However, I believe that after the collapse of the Soviet Union, Henry's cash is absolutely amazing!!!

Leslie, chairman and CEO of Limited Brands Group, has been waiting for a long time.

Leslie is actually the founder of the Limited Brands Group. In 1963, he founded the first clothing store. With his excellent taste and keen sense of business, Leslie has positioned its brand to young people, especially young women. With his genius, Limited has become a hit. Then opened five branches, and then listed to earn money. After the circle to the money, it was out of control, carried out a crazy expansion, open branches, acquisition, continue to open branches, continue to acquire, making Limited Brands Group become one of the giants in the U.S. clothing industry!!!

In Henry's investigation, Leslie spent 47 million US dollars in 1990 to build a George era manor outside Columbus, Ohio. In the same year, Leslie bought a genuine 17th century Manor: foxcote house with 11 bedrooms and 5 bathrooms. In addition, he commissioned the manufacture of what is said to be the world's largest private yacht!!!

All kinds of signs show that Leslie is very rich, and will spend money very much!!!

When Henry saw Leslie for the first time, he knew that this very smart old man in front of him was a little difficult to deal with. I'm afraid it's very difficult to acquire

Leslie said to Henry with a smile: "welcome Mr. Williams, I'm Leslie, chairman and CEO of Limited Brands Group!"

"How do you do, Mr. Leslie? I admire you so much for starting from scratch!"

"Ha ha, I'm making a little fuss. It's better than Mr. Williams. The total market value of Limited Brands Group is not more than one seventh of that of you!" Leslie said with a smile, "Mr. Williams is worth 200 billion..."

Henry laughed, waved his hand and said, "there's not so much. The Internet and the newspapers are just passing it around."

"Ha ha..."

Leslie laughed. "Please come in. I'll show you around the company first."

"Good Henry nodded.

After entering the Limited Brands Group Company, Henry found that it was full of beautiful women and handsome men, and all kinds of clothes were dazzling. Leslie took Henry to visit the group's major subsidiaries, and finally took him to Victoria's secret!

"This is Marcus Christie, the current Victoria's Secret CEO," Leslie said

Marcus Christie, who knew Henry, quickly reached out and said, "Hello, nice to meet you, Mr. Williams!"

"Hello, Mr. Marcus Christie!" Henry smiles and shakes his hand.

Leslie said with a smile, "Mr. Williams, the company has finished visiting. Let's go to the reception room. It's time to get down to business!"

"Well, please lead the way." Said Henry.

Leslie answered and walked in front of him. After a while, he took Henry to a reception room that could hold dozens of people!

After sitting down, Leslie said with a smile, "Mr. Williams, how much are you going to pay for Victoria's secret?"

"Two billion dollars!" Henry replied.

"No, Mr. Williams, the price is a little low!" Leslie shook his head and said, "Victoria's secret has hundreds of stores, high brand awareness, annual sales of more than one billion dollars, net profit of up to 200 million dollars!"!!! According to the current development trend, Victoria's secret will only make more money. Maybe in a few years, the profit will double! So, for such a very profitable company, Mr. Williams, don't you think two billion dollars is too little? "

Henry's face was still, and he asked faintly, "well, how much does Mr. Leslie think is appropriate?"

"Four billion dollars!" Leslie said slowly with a smile.

Henry frowned at the offer. In 2015, Victoria's secret had a market value of only 7 billion US dollars. Now it's more than a decade away. It's not worth 4 billion US dollars!

"Mr. Williams, do you think the price is too high?" Leslie said, looking at Henry's expression.
