Thanks to one of Japan's famous industries, it is estimated that tourists who come to Japan want to experience things like Ginza, custom streets or hot springs. After all, this is an industry that accounts for 1% of Japan's total revenue.

However, Song Yang glanced at Gallo and ignored him. If Song Yang dared to go to these places with Gallo today, he would definitely be on the hot search list in the global technology industry tomorrow, and it might not even make global news...

Softbank is watching eagerly, eager to get some news for Song Yang, and even Eric is talking to LB Group about the acquisition of Victoria's Secret. Even Rick is transforming and wants to clear his name. What about Song Yang?

Will destroy his reputation.

This is the first time for Song Yang to go to China. He doesn't want to go there with the scandal. It's hard to say what his reputation will be in the future, but now Song Yang still wants to have face.

The business plane landed at Tokyo Airport, and people from SoftBank were already waiting below. There were no media or reporters. This shows that the current status of the Internet industry in Japan is probably not as good as that of Bangzi.

"Mr. Bruno, my name is Masahiro Inoue. On behalf of SoftBank and President Masayoshi Son, I would like to welcome everyone to Nippon!"

The one who came to greet Song Yang was Inoue Masahiro, who had previously negotiated with Yahoo in America. Facing Song Yang, Inoue Masahiro was a little angry and itched his teeth. If Song Yang hadn't interfered with it, Japan and Ben Yahoo would have been established by now. But now,

Song Yang intervened, causing Japan's Yahoo project to come to a complete standstill.

Song Yang looked at Masahiro Inoue who was bowing in front of him, with suppressed anger in his eyes, but he didn't care much. Song Yang was clearly robbing Japan and Yahoo. What could Son Masayoshi and SoftBank do to him?!

In America and Silicon Valley, Song Yang still has to weigh the Netscape and Microsoft gang, but outside of Silicon Valley, Song Yang is considered one of the leaders in the global Internet industry. It may be difficult to deal with Yahoo, but

How about cleaning up a Yahoo branch in Japan? Isn’t that easy?

To put it bluntly, Yahoo and SoftBank are really disgusted. Song Yang has many tricks to let Japan, Japan, and Yahoo get the project, which is completely ruined!

"I'm also looking forward to meeting President Masayoshi Son of your company!"

Song Yang couldn't stand Inoue Masahiro's hypocritical tactics, so he didn't even bother to shake his hand and led the people into the car. He was still bowing even though both sides had already been stabbed. Song Yang didn't want to be stabbed in the back.

Masahiro Inoue, who was left alone, had a look of embarrassment on his face, but he didn't dare to get angry at Song Yang. Even if he was dissatisfied, Masahiro Inoue, who had been to Silicon Valley, understood Song Yang's role in America Internet.

Influence.

Nowadays, Yahoo, which seems to be invincible in Silicon Valley, is really facing Song Yang. Masahiro Inoue feels that even Song Yang may not be able to withstand him. Last year, Song Yang dared to challenge Netscape, the first generation Internet hegemon.

At that time, could Song Yang not have the strength he has now?

And now, if he were not targeted by the Trade Commission, Inoue Masahiro felt that Song Yang's worth would have soared even further. Judging from the number of users alone, Song Yang's icq plus hotmail, anti-virus software Feita, etc.

, the number of users accounts for almost half of the global Internet industry...

Instead of staying in the hotel arranged by SoftBank, Song Yang and the others chose an international hotel.

Along the way, Gallo, Wesley and others, who were visiting Asia for the first time, looked curiously at this city, which had a completely different style from America.

Song Yang didn't pay too much attention. He just looked at the scene on the street, from the costumes of pedestrians on the street, cars and storefronts. It is indeed one of the best cities in Asia, but Song Yang didn't care too much about these.

, in a few years, a large wave of modern cities that do not belong to the land below will emerge across the strait.

What attracted Song Yang's attention was the endless storefronts of another kind that appeared on the streets. On the streets of Tokyo, the ones that appeared most often were not convenience stores, supermarkets, bookstores, etc., but another kind of thing, pachinko parlors!

These pachinko parlors with slot machines and pinball machines inside have different decorations. Some are simple and shabby with just a sign hanging on them, while others are luxuriously decorated and have a cool-dressed girl soliciting customers standing at the door.

Although the decoration and brand are different, on the way from the airport to the city, whether it is a remote suburb or the city center, there may not be a convenience store or toilet, but there will definitely be a pinball room.

Song Yang had heard of the name of Japanese billiard parlors before, but this was the first time he saw such a scene. On this road alone, he had seen at least a hundred billiard parlors.

Irene noticed Song Yang's gaze and looked outside. She didn't know much about billiard rooms. She just watched Song Yang looking at those stores and asked, "Is there anything special about these stores?!"

Song Yang looked back at Irene and pointed to the billiard room outside, "That's the billiard room. You can think of it as Japan's Las Vegas!"

Erin was surprised to see pinball rooms of different sizes appearing every few hundred meters on both sides of the street. She wondered how these small stores could compare with Las Vegas.

Seeing Irene's look of disbelief, Song Yang said, "Last year, there were more than 10,000 pachinko parlors in Japan, and people in Japan and Southeast Asia spent more than 240 billion U.S. dollars on pachinko parlors last year.

knife!"

Erin opened her mouth wide and looked outside in surprise. She didn't know if there was something wrong with her ears, or if Song Yang had told her wrongly. What was the concept? It is located in Las Vegas, Nevada, America.

It was profitable enough, but the billiard room she had never heard of was thirty times the annual revenue of Las Vegas.

This completely overturned Erin's impression of this place. Japan boasted that gambling was prohibited, so don't play too big. Even if all the most famous casinos in the world were put together, they might not be able to have a pinball room.

Earn a lot in a year!

The total number of employees in the entire pinball room, including these stores, pinball machine manufacturers, etc., has surpassed those in the automotive industry, Nippon's pillar industry. Last year, the pinball room earned more than 6% of Japan's total revenue.

%, just don't go too crazy.

Song Yang pursed his lips, then suddenly turned around and said to Irene, "What do you think of letting Xuells enter the Japanese marble real estate industry?"

After saying that, before Irene could say anything, Song Yang laughed first, as if he was just joking.

But Irene, who was familiar with Song Yang, knew that Song Yang was definitely not joking. Xue's main business was the gaming business, so it seemed reasonable to let Xue's enter the billiard room.

But Eileen knows that this matter is by no means that simple. The pinball room can be established in Japan, just like Las Vegas. It is absolutely impossible to say that there are no gangs and congressmen behind it.

.

"This matter won't be that simple. If Xue Ls enters rashly, there may be problems!" Irene said to Song Yang.

"I know!"

Song Yang shrugged his shoulders and said, but Song Yang doesn't care whether the Japanese will be destroyed by the billiard room or not. Even if he plays a little crazier, Song Yang will be happy to the extreme.

The key is that this is an industry with huge profits. As long as you can get involved, you can get huge cash flows every year.

The car stopped in front of the Hilton Hotel in Tokyo. When getting off the car, Song Yang said to Irene, "Maybe someone in America will be interested in the pachinko real estate business here!"

Song Yang would not be stubborn and charge into battle on his own. Japan's billiard rooms are very involved. Most of the people who manage and operate these billiard rooms are people from the Bangzi side, and even the congressmen are consultants to the billiard real estate industry. It's hard to imagine how deep the involvement is.

You can imagine, but if you don’t know, if you dive in headfirst, you may end up being shattered to pieces.

However, as the suzerain country of Japan, if the congressmen of the suzerain country are eyeing this piece of fat, will these local snakes let it go or not?

This matter is not a matter of urgency. The madness in controlling Las Vegas back then was no less than that of the pinball room now. In the end, it was slowly brought under control by Howard Hughes.

As long as we can get the members of the Elephant Party and the Donkey Party to enter America, as well as the entry of Blackwater Security, in the future, it may not be impossible to control the Japanese billiard room and double the size of the billiard room in Japan.

possible.

Song Yang kept the matter of the billiard room in his heart. It might take some time to prepare before it can start.

After arriving in Tokyo, people from Song Yang immediately began to investigate Japan's Internet industry, and the results were somewhat surprising.

Japan's Internet technology is actually not weak. After all, it has a sovereign state. However, the application of Internet technology in Japan is unexpectedly slow.

In America, after Song Yang created the web version of hotmail, email office has become popular among major companies in just over a year. Although fax machines are still in use, the usage rate of email has declined.

It has completely surpassed the fax machine.

As one of the earliest people to start working electronically and using computers, fax machines, and printers in the 1980s, Nippon seems not to be enthusiastic about entering the Internet era.

Hotmail also entered Japanese mailboxes last year, but now there are no more than 100,000 users. Except for foreign trade companies, other companies don't seem to be keen on using it. This is not as good as Bangzi next door. Bangzi

The number of hotmail users there is much larger than that of Japan.

Not only Hotmail, Double Click, ICQ and even Netscape and Microsoft Internet Explorer are not developing well in Japan.

This phenomenon made Eileen, Whitman, Xie Qing and others look at each other in confusion. Whitman looked at the information he had collected in a hurry, frowned and analyzed, "This is indeed an emerging market, but for

"Tradition" seems to care very much, and they are unwilling to change their original living and office habits!"

After Song Yang saw this information, he just glanced at it for a few times and threw it aside. Compared with America, Japan seemed to have no desire for the Internet, let alone the emergence of Internet companies, and wanted to develop this area.

The market is not that easy, but Masayoshi Son, who is most familiar with it, probably has some tricks up his sleeve.
