Son Zhengyi didn't arrive quickly, which made Tao Zhiming doubt that he took the tram just to save money, right?

Seeing that the time was getting later and later, Tao Zhiming felt a little bit sick and had to say: "It was really presumptuous. I didn't think carefully and caused trouble for Mr. Ueda and Mrs. Ueda."

"Don't worry about it." Ueda Haruko still smiled with crooked eyebrows, "Actually, my husband also likes to have a hearty chat with like-minded friends in the silent late night without being disturbed. It doesn't matter if we talk until late, there is a guest room at home.

of."

"...Anyway, I'm sorry to bother you." Tao Zhiming felt more and more that the couple was digging a big hole, bent on burying themselves in Xia Na Ueda.

Fortunately, after chatting for a while, Son finally arrived.

After Haruko Ueda opened the door to welcome him in, Masayoshi Son smiled cutely when he walked in: "Excuse me, good evening, madam."

When he came to the living room, he actually had two boxes in his hands.

Yamamoto Noboru and Ueda Masahiro both looked at him curiously. They did not expect that the very powerful friend Tao Zhiming mentioned was only so tall, had lost a lot of hair, and was not good-looking.

"Sun Jun, let me introduce you. This is Lord Masahiro Ueda. His daughter SANA Ueda and I are classmates at Tokyo University. This person is Professor Yamamoto Kenito of Tokyo University."

"This is the first time we meet, my name is Masayoshi Son. I was invited to come here to meet you, but I was very hasty and presumptuous." Son Masayoshi said holding two boxes, "This is an invention I made when I was in college, and it is now produced by Sharp.

, I brought it here. I’m sorry.”

Tao Zhiming secretly admired it.

Look at this person, the gifts he brought were his own inventions, and they were full in no time.

As expected, Yamamoto Noboru and Ueda Masahiro became very interested and asked what it was.

"This is a translation machine! It can translate the input from one language into another language, and automatically synthesize a voice to read it out. Please allow me to take it apart and demonstrate it?"

"Good work!"

Sun Zhengyi opened the box and revealed the machine inside. The lower part is densely packed with buttons. In addition to English letters, there are also katakana in neon characters. Above it, there is a small screen embedded.

He entered "goodevening" into it, and after pressing the translation button, the machine emitted a clear neon pronunciation of a woman: "Good evening."

After showing it off, Sun Zhengyi smiled and introduced it in front of everyone's amazed eyes: "Although it is just such a small machine, when I was studying it in Berkeley, California, I also recruited experts from the world's speech synthesis field.

The most authoritative Dr. Moser solved the problem of making this sound smoothly. This patent was bought by Sharp for 100 million yen 6 years ago."

Masayoshi Son, who made a splash as soon as he arrived, was greeted by Norito Yamamoto's praise: "It's amazing. Another young man who has achieved such achievements while still on campus. No wonder Mr. Dalang respects you so much."

Son Zhengyi looked at Tao Zhiming in confusion.

Is this the second time we meet? Why do you admire yourself so much?

Wait: "Da Lang...classmate?"

Tao Zhiming grinned and said, "I have indeed not told Sun Jun yet. I am currently in my fourth year at the University of Tokyo."

He was also a little strange. Could it be that Masayoshi Son really hadn't found anyone who could figure out his origins? Then he kept contacting Yosuke Ueno before. Didn't he call himself once? Why didn't he continue to contact him directly?

It was indeed only then that Sun Zhengyi realized that Tao Dalang was actually still studying.

From what Professor Yamamoto said, you also admire Tao Dalang very much?

Masahiro Ueda gave Tao Zhiming a meaningful look: "It seems that although Sun Jun and Dalang are not close to each other personally, they both appreciate each other's abilities. I heard that if you want to meet tonight, you need to go to another place.

A quiet room to talk in detail?”

Son Zhengyi said: "No need. In fact, I already thought about it on the way here."

He first moved to face Tao Zhiming. Sitting there on his knees, he bent over and said, "Tao Jun, it seems that you know me better than I know you. I wonder if you can invite me."

For coming here, I would like to express my heartfelt thanks in advance!”

"Don't worry about it." When Tao Zhiming returned the gift, he could only sigh that he was indeed a smart man.

Because of Sun Zhengyi's arrival, Ueda Shana had already sat next to Tao Zhiming. When she heard Sun Zhengyi's name, she remembered that Tao Zhiming had asked her before if she knew the name of the "Cinderella Boy".

It seems that Dalang has indeed been paying attention to him and understanding him from a long time ago.

It turns out that he is the terminally ill personal computer genius who invented the amazing machine just now when he was in college.

After Son sat back down, he said to Yamamoto Norito who was diagonally opposite and Ueda Masahiro next to him: "After graduating from the United States, I returned to Neon with the money I earned. I gave up the career I had already built there.

The basis is because it is a promise made to my parents: I will definitely return to Neon in the future and create a big career."

Seeing that he was about to tell a story, several people listened quietly.

"After I came back, I spent a long time compiling 1,000 business plans. After investigating and thinking about almost all industries, I chose personal computers, the most promising field in the future and where I was most likely to succeed. Facts have proved that I am

That’s right, after Neon SoftBank was founded in Showa 1956, sales reached 2 billion yen the following year, and nearly 5 billion yen the next year.”

"However, perhaps it was fate that tested me, and then I became seriously ill. The doctor told me that I can live for up to five years." Sun Zhengyi said here with some emotion, "At that time, my daughter had just been born, and she was just about to live."

It was time to lay the foundation for my career. In desperation, I had no choice but to entrust the club to a friend, and I was admitted to the hospital."

"In despair, I have to pay attention to the development of the club and place my hope in treatment. In those days, I read more than 3,000 books. I really don't know what to do. But when I reread "Sakamoto Ryoma"

, seeing Ryoma accomplishing real feats in the last five years of his life, I am not willing to just disappear quietly."

Son’s baby face was firm and his eyes were bright: “In the end, I took the risk and tried a new treatment method. There is about a 70% probability of being cured, but if it fails, death will be accelerated. Before that, Ni

No one in Hong Kong has dared to try this therapy. Fortunately, I recovered."

"What a blessing." This short narration made everyone else a little shocked by his experience. He had just developed his ambitions to become a young upstart, and then encountered a terminal illness. This was indeed unimaginable pressure and despair.

"However, after returning to the club, I faced a debt of nearly 1 billion yen. After spending a lot of energy to regain the position of president, I encountered an even greater crisis. My competitor has a strong force behind him.

With the support, the entire team of more than 20 people who hold the core business secrets of our company has been completely poached. At this moment, the company that is preparing to shake our Neon soft and hard foundation and replace our market share is the newly established SoftWing Co., Ltd."

Hearing this, Masahiro Ueda took a deep look at Tao Zhiming opposite him again.

Tao Zhiming smiled and listened to Sun Zhengyi continue: "In the past few days, the club has been reorganized. Everyone has worked together and has the awareness and determination to resist SoftWing's attack head-on! However, the other party is powerful. In terms of specific business management and

In terms of development strategy, I will not lose! Just one thing: SoftBank is now burdened with 1 billion yen in debt, but the other party is backed by funds and resources from large groups and consortiums."

Son Zhengyi nodded again to Tao Zhiming: "Thank you, Tao Jun, because he understands the situation. Inviting me here is to help me get to know you two. I will always remember this kindness in my heart."

Tao Zhiming said: "So, we must meet tonight anyway, because you want to see if I can solve the funding problem?"

"Yes. As long as we can turn around, I have absolute confidence that we can defeat them! At present, they will use their huge financial support to eat into our supplier resources at a higher purchase price than us, and at a lower price than us.

The sales price will erode our sales channel resources. In this case, our profits will be greatly reduced, and the pressure to repay debt will be even greater."

Tao Zhiming nodded and analyzed: "Furthermore, because of the current situation of debt and the departure of key teams, it is more difficult to obtain financial support from the outside?"

"That's true." Son Zhengyi sighed, "After staying in the hospital for three years, it was like reintegrating into the world. I originally thought that I would be able to obtain these funds because I had proven my strength in the past. But this time,

The opponent is indeed very powerful."

Tao Zhiming asked strangely: "As far as I know, the people behind SoftWing are not only Nishi Kazuhiko, but also Morijiro, who is from the Mori Group, and a club under the Mitsui Foundation that I heard is there. Can't they really not find funds?"

As soon as Morijiro's name came out, except for Masayoshi Son, the other four people all looked at Tao Zhiming in unison.

Son did not notice this: "Small amounts of funds cannot help solve the fundamental problem. Large amounts of funds require too much. The most unbearable thing is always the pressure brought by 1 billion yen of debt. If

It is in the form of a loan. Given our current financial situation, the interest rate conditions provided by the other party will also increase our debt repayment pressure. And if it is investment and equity, it will take too long to actually pay off the debt and start distributing profits, so we can only use

In exchange for a proportion, it is almost equivalent to selling the club."

"Then what kind of proposal does Mr. Sun have when he comes to me?"

Sun Zhengyi looked at him squarely: "I remember Tao Jun said that you also very much recognized the future of the personal computer industry. Because you are also young and did not refuse my initial inquiry about SoftWing information, I felt that Tao Jun might be more focused on long-term interests.

, the person who recognizes me. Therefore, I want to see if Tao Jun has the willingness and ability to help Neon Softbank."

Tao Zhiming didn't express his position first, but asked: "Sun Jun, we talked before. Since you have such an idea, why didn't Ueno-kun, who has been in contact with me these days, not contact me directly?"

"...I'm sorry." Sun Zhengyi said a little embarrassedly, "I have been too busy recently, so I asked my subordinate to contact you. Of course he...contacted the president directly."

Tao Zhiming was speechless and laughed.

It would be strange to believe you.

Can't you see that I am the one who makes the decision? I have to ask my subordinates to contact me first, and they should also give me my business card.

It seems that he still has residual self-esteem. The first thing he contacted were the resources he felt more confident about, right? Ask his subordinates to contact Ueno Yosuke, maybe just pretend to talk about cooperation first, and test his own strength.

Even because I was too busy, I didn’t even have time to find someone to get to know me well.

Now I must be almost at the end of my rope, and then I think of myself as a person who is younger, more handsome, and probably richer than him.

I'm optimistic that the industry will recognize him, but I've only met him once in his concept. Where did he get this confidence?

The lowest point in life, Mr. Son!

If he hadn't been invited to meet here and told that it was Norito Yamamoto, another person with high status and great power, he would probably have hesitated a bit.

But Ueda Masahiro lives in a wealthy area, has such a big house, and his behavior is indeed that standard.

Although it may not be clear who Masahiro Ueda is, he may have confirmed one thing: Tao Zhiming does have the strength to help him.

First, he gets a head start and shows how extraordinary he is, then he talks about the process of starting a business and makes people cry, and now he shows off that we are all young and we can create the future together.

They are all words and routines.

No wonder he and Jack Ma Bastard played mung beans and cherished each other.
