Chapter 186, Investing in SoftBank
Son's heart sank again.
Will a self-made person, after developing a market, be able to escape the fate of being swallowed up by giant crocodiles?
"Let me introduce myself to you again." Tao Zhiming first looked at Yamamoto Noboru and Ueda Masahiro, and then said, "Professor Yamamoto and Ueda-sama both know very well. In the financial market, in the past three months,
Although there was good luck, I also achieved a 5-fold return. In the next five years, combined, the return multiple should far exceed that of investing in SoftBank."
Son is silent. Is this a demonstration of strength, or is he lowering his expectations like those people?
"100 million yuan is unrealistic for SoftBank at this time. Sun Jun, if you just want to borrow money, you really can't convince others." Tao Zhiming said with confidence, "In the current financial market and real estate market investment
How can you afford such interest pressure when the returns are so high?”
Son Zhengyi could not speak for a long time.
"I am a frank person, Mr. Sun." Tao Zhiming called him, paused, and waited until Sun Zhengyi looked up at him, "What you need is not just funds. As you said, it is recognition of you,
And someone who can help you develop in the future. I am confident that these two points are met. I wonder if you have a deep understanding of me?"
Son Zhengyi shook his head truthfully: "I have been really busy recently. I thought Mr. Tao was a young man from a big family who had inherited a huge fortune and was planning to start a chain bookstore business. I didn't even know that Mr. Tao had not graduated yet."
Tao Zhiming smiled and said: "It's not appropriate for me to introduce myself. Lord Ueda is the director of Kasumi Kaikan and the head of the Ueda family with a long heritage. Lord Ueda, can you help Sun Jun get to know me in depth?"
Yamamoto Norito laughed next to him, and Ueda Masahiro also smiled helplessly.
He wants to show off his authority to impress others, but also looks embarrassed.
Seeing Masayoshi Son looking over, Masahiro Ueda said calmly: "Even if you say it's worth 100 million yuan, he can use all the funds to buy your entire club right now. These are the things he started from 0 and used three dollars to buy."
It took more than a month to do it. And now, he has established direct friendship with the presidents of Mitsubishi Foundation and Sumitomo Foundation."
Son Zhengyi looked at Tao Zhiming in astonishment and saw a kind smile.
I heard Ueda Masahiro say again: "He is willing to help you, and the reason is very simple. Among the investors of SoftWing you mentioned, Morijiro of the Mori family just insulted him this afternoon. Even if he is
In order to retaliate against him, Dalang is also willing to help you. However, Sun Jun should still propose a more realistic valuation so that he can give up his current high-return methods, invest funds in you, and work with you
Stand together."
Tao Zhiming nodded repeatedly.
The Riddler is a great assist!
Xia Na Ueda felt strange in her heart.
As early as April, he promised that he would defeat Morijiro. What he said at that time was to deal with the new club and make Morijiro's investment in vain, so that his father would feel that Morijiro was incompetent.
Now of course Ueda Shana knows that the agreement between father and the Mori family is not that, and there are other reasons.
But Tao Dalang wants to help this "Cinderella boy" now, obviously not because of Morijiro's trouble today.
Son Zhengyi murmured and asked: "Is there another reason?"
"That's right, just today, he threatened to kill me." Tao Zhiming gritted his teeth in the performance, "If this were not the case, why did I invite you here when you called just now? Why don't we invite you here in front of Professor Yamamoto and Lord Ueda?
Let you believe in my sincerity."
Yamamoto Akito looked at him speechlessly.
This kid is taking advantage of himself again.
Son Zhengyi said solemnly: "Kill you? Why is there such a big hatred?"
"Because of love. Because the bride is married and the groom is not him."
Sun Zhengyi saw that the eldest lady of the Ueda family sitting opposite Tao Jun lowered her head. No wonder he was invited here...
"Anyway, now he hates me, and I hate him too." Tao Zhiming waved his hand, "After today's more in-depth exchange, you should be more interested in getting to know me. While confirming what I said, give a more detailed explanation
It’s a feasible plan. I won’t consider just lending you money. In the process of defeating SoftWing, I have to confront Morijiro openly as a shareholder!”
Looking at his determined look, Ueda Shana couldn't help but feel her heart pounding. She didn't know whether it was because Morijiro scolded him today, or because he cared about her in the first place.
Then she noticed her mother's smiling eyes and quickly lowered her head and rubbed her fingers.
Son thought carefully for a while, and then said: "Half! My bottom line is that after the funds come in, the total valuation will be 8 billion yen."
8 billion yen is currently almost 50 million yuan. This is indeed the bottom line in Son Zhengyi's heart, although it is still more than twice the highest valuation currently recognized by others.
Tao Zhiming nodded, that's it. 8 billion yen after the investment is equivalent to more than 600 yen before the investment. After all, SoftBank is a company that achieved a bonus of 5 billion yen in revenue in 1983. The current situation is certainly a bit miserable, but
Tao Zhiming didn't want to leave the impression of a vampire.
Anyway, this guy will bring SoftBank to a valuation of hundreds of billions of dollars in the future, and he can help himself make a lot of money.
Even if I steal some more cakes from him to invest in other Internet companies in the future, I will at least get a thousandfold return from him.
Sometimes investors are also important. The success of many companies is related to the advice given by investors and the resources they brought.
These cannot be explained by pure luck.
Therefore, Tao Zhiming was not prepared to directly replace him in investing in such and such, but he was able to take action from those that he had missed.
But for now, let’s control the source first.
So Tao Zhiming said: "Based on the post-investment valuation of 8 billion yen, I can give you 2 billion, accounting for 25%. And I promise you that I will not interfere with your business decisions. If you had not taken the initiative, I would not have asked
Additional investment increases my shareholding ratio. But when Softbank needs more financing, I can pursue investment at the same valuation as others, but you don’t limit my qualifications for additional investment. In fact, I can always support your strategic decisions,
It would make a lot of sense for you to keep my shareholding percentage."
At this point, he grinned: "We have one more thing in common. You came to Neon from Zhou Kingdom, and my grandfather came from Xia Kingdom."
Seeing that he could agree to a valuation of 8 billion yen, Son was already a little surprised. Although 25% is really a bit much, his commitment did make Son feel more at ease.
Hearing the last sentence, Sun Zhengyi was a little overjoyed: "Really? When I first started my business in the United States, I had a very good partner who was also from Xia. And do you know why we can get together? Because in fact, I
My ancestors also migrated from the Xia Kingdom to the Zhou Kingdom first. I am actually a descendant of that great military strategist and the author of "The Art of War" by Sun Tzu!"
Tao Zhiming's head hurts a little. Is this an ancestral skill from the Zhou Kingdom?
It is true that Sun Zhengyi is still a national of Zhou State. But whether he is a descendant of Sun Wu is purely his own opinion.
But at least he was talking about migrating from the Xia Kingdom, not that Sun Wu was from the Zhou Kingdom.
Seeing that he could help me earn a lot of money in the future, I endured it. Making money is not shabby.
So Tao Zhiming said in surprise to the grandson who called himself grandson, "Is that so? Let me tell you, the surname Sun is rare in Zhou Kingdom!"
The scene soon turned into two guys having fun and making friends. Masahiro Ueda and Kenito Yamamoto looked at each other.
Seeing this situation, Ueda Haruko said: "It's already very late. Seeing that you are chatting so happily as if it's too late to meet you, why don't you stay here tonight and I'll prepare the guest room."
"Sorry..." Sun Zhengyi nodded first, and then said to Tao Zhiming, "I have learned a lot tonight. I will go back and think carefully about Tao Jun's proposal. I also need to discuss the decision with other shareholders. But don't worry, I will
Reply to you as soon as possible."
Tao Zhiming nodded: "Contact me at any time, I use a mobile phone. Other shareholders, including the previous president, right? If possible, you can buy back his shares. Don't let him know that I agree first."
The valuation is 8 billion yen. If you are short of money, Ueda-sama can lend you the small amount of money you use to buy back his shares."
Masahiro Ueda was a little confused.
What's going on? Why have you suddenly started to be my boss?
Is the money from my Ueda family now yours?
He couldn't help but wonder in his heart what Tao Zhiming meant.
Masayoshi Son had this idea and asked Yasuhiko Omori, who opposed him, to completely leave the board of directors.
But he didn't show his attitude for the time being, so he said goodbye and left.
In the living room, Yamamoto Kento began to sigh: "It's the first time I see you talking about business for 2 billion yen. It's like calling a taxi... But a company that is still losing money and facing such great external pressure
, is it really worth 8 billion yen?”
Tao Zhiming smiled and pointed to the translator on the table: "He is indeed a very talented person. In fact, I want to deepen the relationship with him, and I have other intentions."
"What's the purpose?"
Tao Zhiming said seriously: "I promised President Takeda to help Takeda Manufacturing develop well. I am really optimistic about the future of personal computers, so I suggested that President Takeda try to produce products with higher added value, such as personal computers.
Accessories. President Takeda lacks technical strength in this regard, but Sun Jun can help him. In the current Neon, there are not many people who know computers better than Sun Jun."
"You are so proficient in using that Bloomberg machine, but he doesn't understand it either?"
This question was difficult to answer, and Tao Zhiming could only laugh and say nothing.
Say my name and I'll scare you.
Now in Neon, who knows computers better than me?
"Why should I lend him money?" Masahiro Ueda asked.
Tao Zhiming put away his smile and replied seriously: "My commitment to President Takeda is serious. With my help, Takeda Manufacturing will have a very bright future. Four years later, I will even be happy to see him buy back The strength of that piece of land, as to whether he should spend that much money to repurchase that piece of land, depends on his decision at that time."
"In short, with the money lent to Sun Jun, you can use this relationship to ask him to cooperate with President Takeda. Sun Jun must have many strategies in the field of personal computers. Takeda Manufacturing will produce more products for the current urgent needs. It would also be a good choice for Sun Jun to open up the situation. You must know that the current personal computer software itself is burned on tapes and sold."
"When the time comes, I will suggest that President Takeda accept SoftBank's technology investment and become a shareholder of Takeda Manufacturing. SoftBank will invest a sum of money for research and development, and you can propose to offset this loan with the Takeda Manufacturing shares held by SoftBank. President Takeda will be more willing to have a strong shareholder like you to help Takeda Manufacturing after what happened before."
"As for the value of this small share of shares, with President Takeda's ingenuity and persistence, which is known as the soul of manufacturing, and with the various suggestions and support I have provided to President Takeda, in the future, maybe Takeda Manufacturing can be even better than SoftBank will become a 100-billion-yen company faster. In other words, if you let Shana hold that part of the shares, it will make you more confident that I will be very attentive to Takeda Manufacturing, right?"
Ueda Masahiro and Yamamoto Kenito were dumbfounded.
Sina Ueda was elated.
Why do you, this bastard, pay more attention to me when I hold those shares?
Seeing Xana Ueda lowering his head and raising the corners of his mouth crazily, Haruko Ueda couldn't help but smile, and she felt even more satisfied when she saw Tao Zhiming drinking tea after just talking.
Shana, this kid, has excellent eyesight.
After a long time, Yamamoto Kenai murmured: "I now understand a little bit why Takeda Takanao accepted you in the end."
Tao Zhiming put down his cup and looked upright: "Because I really stand in his position and think about him."
"No...it's because you have too many conspiracies in your mind. Your mouth is too talkative..."
