Eric arrived in New York in the afternoon. As soon as he got off the plane, he was stopped by Jeff Bezos, who came to pick him up. He rushed to Morgan Stanley headquarters to attend the preparatory meeting of Amazon's IPO.

Jeff Bezos hopes that Amazon can get some support from the Firefly system before its IPO to ensure that there will be no accidents in the IPO process.

In Eric's mind, Amazon's status in the Firefly system is no less than Yahoo's.

Although this IPO will temporarily reduce Firefly Investment's shareholding in Amazon to 27%, in order to acquire more Amazon shares in the future, Eric will naturally not be stingy with giving Amazon more support at this time.

The meeting was held until nightfall.

In the parking lot, Eric and Chris got on a black Mercedes-Benz together.

The driver drove out of the parking lot, and Chris leaned on his seat and asked, "It's already seven o'clock. Should you eat first or go directly to Lesington Avenue?"

The fourth Victoria's Secret show is still held at Lesington Avenue Arsenal. The show started at 8 o'clock in the evening, but now guests have begun to enter the venue.

"Go to have a meal first, don't go there hungry," Eric said, instructing the driver to find a restaurant, and then realized the other meanings of Chris just said: "You mean, are you not going to go to Lesington Avenue?"

Chris shrugged and said helplessly: "Emily said she would work until the early morning tonight, so she asked me to go back to see the child early tonight."

"Haha, okay," Eric laughed a few times, and did not tease Chris anymore, and asked instead: "How is the situation in South Korea?"

"The Korean won't close today has dropped to 1255:1, a drop of 34% compared with the initial exchange rate. The International Monetary Fund approved two days ago to provide aid to South Korea. However, just after the aid was approved, South Korea was revealed to have less than US$10 billion in foreign exchange reserves that can be used to resist international hot money. South Korea cannot spend all of this 20 billion in aid on bets with international hot money. I think the possibility that South Korea can support it is very low."

When Chris heard this topic, he became energetic and told the data in his mind without hesitation: "Of course, this cannot be 100% guaranteed. South Korea should be the last stop of the Southeast Asian financial crisis. If it continues to spread, it may affect Europe and the United States. The EU and the federal government have begun to be vigilant and will not allow hot money to continue. If the EU and the federal government increase their support for South Korea, the Korean won can still be held. Now some funds have begun to be delivered. Eric, do you think we should stop?"

The current Korean won't fall by only 34%. If the delivery is now, Firefly's short sellers of $1.1 billion will only make a profit of about $70 million. If the Korean won falls by more than 70% in memory, Firefly's profit may exceed $400 million.

Foreign exchange speculation is a kind of gambling. The 700 million US dollars raised by several companies had already been recovered with capital and interest. Although I didn't know that this Korean won crisis would not have a special surprise, Eric still tends to take risks once.

"Of course, we can't stop. All international hot money has focused their targets on the Korean won. It would be strange if South Korea can hold on. Moreover, even if the Korean won is lost, international hot money will probably only turn its targets to Russia, and the possibility of backlashing against Europe and the United States is very low."

Chris was banned from entering the Victoria's Secret show by Emily, so Eric was not in a hurry. The two of them had dinner slowly. Eric and Chris were separated and when they arrived at the Lesington Avenue Arsenal, it was already eight o'clock.

The show has begun, and there are still many media reporters waiting outside the arsenal who cannot obtain access permission. Eric can hear the hot music just as soon as he got off the car. He carefully avoided the large group of reporters outside and went directly to the backstage.

Although the Victoria's Secret show is no longer like the first time, and can earn hundreds of millions of dollars in revenue just by just videotape sales, LTD still spares no effort in the Victoria's Secret show due to the soaring sales performance of the group itself.

At the end of November, the night temperature in New York was approaching below zero, but the inside of the arsenal was as warm as spring.

The backstage was still busy. Eric greeted several passing Victoria's Secret angels and staff, took off his thick windbreaker, and was about to go to the front desk to find a seat to see the scene effect of this show, but Emily stopped him.

"Eric, I'm looking for you," Emily saw Eric and immediately flipped out a folder from Eva Pakula who was following her and handed it over: "Hey, take a look first, we'll record some executive speeches later, and you can say a few words."

After saying this, Emily didn't know what was said in the headset, and turned around and walked away in a hurry.

Eric helplessly raised the folder in his hand and asked Eva, who was already Emily's assistant: "What's it?"

"Look at it yourself," Eva dropped the words and hurriedly followed Emily away.

Eric was about to open the folder and take a look, and the Victoria's Secret angels who had just changed into angel costumes ran towards this side with the help of their assistants, helping them step by step, Eric quickly moved away, looked around, then walked towards the angels' makeup area, and found a seat to sit down.

When I opened the folder, it turned out to be a list of supermodel revenue rankings that Forbes magazine is about to publish. Forbes did not have similar lists in the past. I think it should be the result of Emily's initiative. This is indeed another way to promote the Victoria's Secret brand in disguise.

There is not much suspense, Cindy Crawford jumped to the top with an annual income of $20 million.

In recent years, the "American Supermodel Contest" is still at its peak ratings.

In addition to the two seasons of the "American Supermodel Contest" every year, Cindy also serves as the producer of "American Supermodel Contest" in overseas countries such as the United Kingdom, France, and Australia. These can bring her a considerable share of money. In addition, Cindy herself can also obtain a considerable endorsement fee from various fashion brands. Even if it is not included in the income from Cindy's private purchase of technology stocks, the annual income of the $20 million is definitely not small.

The second place is Linda Ivan Golinsta, with an annual income of US$15 million. The main sources of income are "Prodigy" revenue sharing and brand endorsement.

The third place is Claudia Shiver, with an annual income of $12 million, which surprised Eric.

In recent years, Claudia has successfully transformed into an actress. Strictly speaking, she is no longer a model. This list still counts her. It seems that Emily doesn't want the entire list to be Victoria's Secret Angels. Eric thinks there is no need for this. The Victoria's Secret Legion is the highest-paid group in the modeling circle now, and there is no doubt about this.

Before Eric founded the Victoria's Secret show, the top models in the modeling industry had only an annual income of one million.

With the rise of the Victoria's Secret Legion, the high exposure rate of super models has also greatly increased their value. Although there are many people in the fashion industry who criticized the Victoria's Secret show for being too sensational, no matter how high-end the brand is, it still hopes that its spokespersons can have a higher reputation. Angel Legion is undoubtedly the most well-known group in the modeling circle.

In addition to Claudia Shiver, the next seven supermodels on the top ten are all from the Victoria's Secret Corps, with six of them earning $10 million in annual income, and even the last one, they earn 6 million in annual income. This income level is basically impossible before the Victoria's Secret show.

Eric was a little confused about what Emily wanted him to say to him for such a document. After reading the list in his hand, he was about to turn the page. A clatter of footsteps sounded from far to near. Eric raised his head and saw the baby-faced Qusi Goff running over: "Good evening Eric."

Eric nodded, looked at the pink angel outfit on Qusi Goff's body. This should be the Victoria's Secret PINK theme, and asked, "How do you feel?"

Qusi Gaofu's little face was excited and suddenly showed some bitterness. She sat down next to Eric and said, "Hungry."

"Ha, let's have something to eat," Eric pointed to some snacks on the dressing table. This was already the routine of the Victoria's Secret show.

Qusi Gaofu was not polite either. He picked up a box of chocolate beans, but finally held it back. He just twisted a piece and put it in his mouth, narrowing his eyes with satisfaction.

Eric couldn't help laughing and said, "Don't look like you've been abused."

After eating a chocolate, Qusi Gaofu put the box back on the dressing table and said, "I haven't had a good meal for two months. I still have to keep exercising. Now I'm almost forgetting what chocolate tastes."

Eric handed over the folder and said, "Now, see if there will be more motivation."

Qusi Goff took the document handed over by Eric, glanced at the list, blinked his eyes enviously, and said, "So many, I'm afraid I won't be able to make so much money in my life."

"Of course not. If you work hard for a few years, you will definitely be able to catch up with them. However, if you want to make more money and not suffer a little."

"I know too, I'm just afraid that I can't hold on," said Qusi Gaofu, returning the folder, but there was a little more energy on his face, and said, "I heard that you're here, I'm just here to say hello. It's time for me to go on stage later. Eric, will you go to the front desk to see?"

Eric shook his head and said, "I prefer to watch it in the background. It would be better if I could go to the dressing room."

"Haha, then you go over, no one dares to stop you," said Qusi Goff, leaning forward on Eric's face and kissing him politely, and stood up and said, "Then I go over, Eric, you will definitely go to the party you wait for?"

"Of course, we'll dance together then."

"That's it."

Qusi Goff had just run away to wait, but Eric had not turned his attention back to the folder in his hand. Just as a topic ended, Cindy, Linda and others also came over to say hello

"Hi, Daddy, why are you hiding here alone?" Linda walked over and almost made Eric fall from the chair. Although the girl said the word "Daddy" in her mouth, her tone was full of jokes.

Looking at Eric's helpless expression, Cindy and the women laughed heartlessly. Eric's side was trembling for a while, and many people's eyes were attracted. The reporters invited to enter also raised their cameras here.

Eric raised the folder and wanted to take a picture of Linda's head opposite. Seeing that she subconsciously protected her hair style, she didn't take a picture. She just raised the folder and said, "I'm looking at whether you make more money in a year than I earn in one day. Unfortunately, there is not one, so I'm too unsatisfied."

"Ah?" Linda snatched the folder in Eric's hand in confusion, and Cindy and the girls came over curiously.

"Wow, Cindy actually made 20 million."

"I said, Emily asked me about these things a few days ago, and it turned out to be a list."

"Palina, your income should be considered small. I remember you signed an endorsement contract with Maybelline last month, and it wouldn't be only $6 million."

"Well, Linda is such a lazy guy who can actually make 15 million."

"You're lazy."

“…”

A group of stunners surrounded Linda, commenting excitedly or lostly. Linda remembered Eric's words just now and looked up and asked, "Eric, you just said, how much do you earn in a day?"

Paulina Preskova, whose face looks like Audrey Hepburn, interjected: "Linda, you shouldn't ask him this question, it must be a blow to people."

Helena Christensen, who could only stand next to Eric without grabbing the seat, also said: "Yes, yes, I read a magazine last time and said that Eric's net worth is now over 100 billion US dollars. Oh my God, 100 billion. If I had so much money, I might not even know how to spend it."

"Don't worry, if you really have so much money, we can all help you spend it together," said Stephanie Seymour on the other side, and looked over with a smile, saying, "Eric, we can also help you spend it."

Eric immediately shook his head, pretending to be a wealthy slave, and said, "I will never take care of my married daughter anymore, I don't have a penny."

Stephanie Seymour only married her rich boyfriend who had been entangled for a long time two years ago. When Eric said this, everyone started to laugh again.

While talking and laughing, Emily hurried over, glared at Eric fiercely before saying to Linda and the girls: "Ladies, don't forget what we are all doing, go change clothes or make up."

The girls were obviously afraid of Emily, and they stood up and dispersed after hearing this.

He drove away a group of beautiful babies, but Emily didn't let Eric go and said, "Everyone is so busy that he wants to fly. You are still making trouble here. If something goes wrong, it will be a big problem."

Eric shrugged helplessly: "Can I say I am innocent?"

"No," Emily shook her head and said, "Have you read the documents just now?"
