"As for China, we are looking at dividing the distribution to two regions. We have identified a dealer in China so far and recently participated in a trade show along with them in China.

"Talks are going on to determine single or multiple dealership. We are thinking of using the same party for distribution in the Hong Kong market," said chairman of MyFranchise Datuk Ahmad Shalimin Ahmad Shafie in an e

xclusive interview.

He said the company had interested parties from Middle East who have come forward for negotiations.

Victoria's Secret - Too Sexy? - This will be upsetting for some men. I just heard a report about Victoria's Secret and it was interesting. Their sales were down drastically in the 4th quarter of 2007 and the report was about how they are thinking the company has gotten too far away from the heritage that made it the blockbuster company it is. They are thinking the ads etc have become too sexy and the plan (at the moment) is to make the ads more sophisticated. That would be like the Super Bowl commercial which was very tasteful, but very different from any Victoria's Secret I've seen lately. Who do you all think the current sexy ads are targeting? I think its the men that they hope will buy these items for their female significant others. I hate to give Omarosa any kudos - but most women aren't "sold" on an item by an ad of a near naked sexy woman. Shri
