"Hehehe, I didn't expect it to be me, boss!" Li Yanting said embarrassedly.

"Congratulations, I said that it would not be wrong for you to participate in the Victoria's Secret show, you deserve this championship!"

Xie Xiaoke smiled and hugged Li Yanting, and then handed her the trophy and cash check.

Of course, none of the other participating models received a reward of $200,000, and they were all happy and didn't know what to do.

They don't see the amount of money, but because the money was handed to them from Xie Xiaoke, which proves that Xie Xiaoke is very optimistic about them and has a chance.

Li Yanting won the championship really beyond Xie Xiaoke's expectations, but since the words are out, the $2 million will still be given to her, and it doesn't matter how she spends it, but Xie Xiaoke has not yet accepted such a reality.

After everything was over, Xie Xiaoke sent Li Yanting back to the villa, and he and Yamamoto each picked a Victoria's Secret model to enjoy a night.

……

Time passed quickly, and Xie Xiaoke finally succeeded in bringing Columbia's boss Grace to the negotiating table with the help of Yamamoto Seventy-two, Sakurai Osakura, Obuchi Shinnosuke, Yamanan Kazuya, Tom, Ridgway, Smith and others.

As long as the other party is willing to negotiate with him, it means that he is already a little interested in selling the company to him, so Xie Xiaoke directly bought the pills in the mall, and then dressed up and went to the place where he made an appointment.

In order to convince Grace, several shareholders and Yamamoto, Sakurai and others can be said to have exhausted their efforts, 10 days ago, when they had not participated in the Victoria's Secret show, they went to find Grace, and Grace at that time had a very appreciative attitude, saying that even if they brought Columbia Film and Television into the coffin anyway, it would be impossible to sell the company, and they finally locked it down and cut the personnel, which itself was saving Colombia, why should they sell it.

Now the entire Columbia company, except for Grace and Old Blanton, the remaining important decision-makers are persuading him to sell the company to Xie Xiaoke, so as to ensure the final benefits.

Yamamoto said: "Xie Xiaoke is indeed a bit of a danger to others, but if it is replaced by other people, it is the same, now someone can help us buy the company, we are already very lucky, to be honest, I am not a shareholder, just the management of the company, the company collapses I can completely resign and go to another company, life or death does not matter to me, do you think I want to have a war of words with you?"

The tone was very impulsive, and Grace was stunned when he heard it, he was going to rebel.

"If it weren't for Sony's doggy carelessness, would Colombia have gotten to where it is today?" Grace roared angrily.

Yamamoto still kept calm: "Sony is also Xie Xiaoke's enemy, you don't have to be angry about it, anger can't solve the problem, the company is not caused by one or two things to get to this point today, the reasons are countless, and now the analysis is useless, I still want to want to sell the company to Boss Xie, and then take the money to pay off the debt, if it drags on, you will not be saved!"

Grace thought for a while: "Even so, it's still not enough to repay the debt, but then again, I'm also very curious, how much money Xie Xiaoke gave you, you all speak for him like this!"

Sakurai explained: "Now the last resort to alleviate your shareholders, take advantage of the fact that Xie Xiaoke still wants to buy it, you should sell it quickly, otherwise it will definitely collapse if it goes on like this!"

The current situation in Colombia can be summed up in one sentence: there is salvation, but there is no money!

If there is a big guy who can invest in this company, spend a lot of money to carry out all-round transformation, keep up with the pace of the times, and soon be able to regain glory, after all, his foundation is very thick, and his reputation is also very big, but the problem he is facing now is that there is a fault line in funds, too many foreign debts, and it is impossible to attract investment.

So Grace thought in his heart, if the real Columbia company collapsed in his own hands, it would be a great shame, he spent a lifetime of hard work to operate, but in the end he ended up like this, he was really a little unwilling, selling to Xie Xiaoke may be a wise choice, he has money, he can save the company's future.

If he doesn't sell it to Xie Xiaoke, maybe one day he will be appreciated by other Bole, and they will use the money to save Colombia, but that is uncertain, maybe it will never be, maybe it will be soon, but Grace doesn't dare to bet, he is not looking at the future now, but the present.

After thinking about it, Grace said, "Okay, you can make an appointment for me to meet Xie Xiaoke!"

A smile leaked from the faces of Yamamoto and the others, and they were successfully brainwashed.

Today is the day when Grace and Xie Xiaoke meet, Grace came very early, waiting for Xie Xiaoke's arrival in the private room, and his stand-in secretary also came, about 10 minutes later, Xie Xiaoke also arrived at the scene.

Seeing Xie Xiaoke himself, Grace was still a little surprised, and the expression of the person who usually saw Xie Xiaoke for the first time was much the same, and was impressed by his youth and appearance, because the general business world is either fat, convex or ugly, and there are few people like Xie Xiaoke who is as clear and distinctive, and he is also a wonder.

"Long admiration, long admiration, Boss Xie, please take a seat!"

Xie Xiaoke politely replied: "I've heard of Mr. Grace's name a long time ago, I'm glad to meet you!"

After sitting down, after a while of greetings between the two sides, Xie Xiaoke said straight to the point: "Mr. Grace, I think your company leaders should have told you, I want to buy Columbia, as for Sony, I can handle it myself, I don't need you to interfere, what is your opinion!"

Grace looked at Xie Xiaoke calmly and asked, "I only have one question left now!"

Xie Xiaoke: "What's the problem?"

"I don't know how Boss Xie plans to develop after acquiring Colombia, will it be renamed Peak Times Los Angeles Branch, or Peak Times American Branch?"

If Xie Xiaoke really wanted to change his name directly, it would be impossible for Grace to agree.

Xie Xiaoke knew what he meant, and said: "Mr. Grace, please rest assured, I know your feelings for Columbia Company very well, as long as this kind of thing can be experienced by a person, I will not change the name of Columbia!"

Grace was a little skeptical: "Is this true?"

"Seriously!"

"Then how much does Boss Xie want to invest to buy Columbia now!"

Xie Xiaoke said: "I don't have a penny, but I can help you repay 70% of your debts, and you can figure out the remaining 30% by yourself!"
