October 18th is an ordinary day for the world.

The same is true for many people in Tokyo, but there is also another group of energetic people who are looking forward to what the so-called "Tokyo Fashion Festival" will be like in the evening.

Their expectations are mainly aimed at some singers, actors and idol actresses who will appear at the fashion festival wearing clothes from major brands. It is not easy to make a reservation at the venue, and it is probably not as good as watching it directly on TV Tokyo.

Today is Sunday, and the bustling Ginza, Roppongi, and Tokyo Tower areas in Minato City are packed with people.

The Prince Hotel next to Tokyo Tower is the property of Tsutsumi Yoshiaki, and these two days, there were especially many foreign guests in the Prince Hotel.

The executive committee of the Tokyo Fashion Festival reserved many rooms, and Tao Chiming also asked Yoshiaki Tsutsumi to help reserve a room on nearly one floor to receive guests from the United States, Idali, and Koshima.

It was near noon that Li Ju woke up from his sleep in the hotel room. He looked around him and suddenly felt that this woman was not as attractive as he had looked after being drunk in WanderDane last night.

After waking her up, Li Ju smiled very gentlemanly and gave her a sum of money, saying that he had an appointment later and could not play with her in the afternoon, but he still invited her away as quickly as possible.

Standing by the window and looking at Tokyo Tower not far away, Li Ju was still thinking about what happened last night.

WanderDane is quite interesting, especially now that I think about it, many of the so-called Tokyo girls who went there to play by themselves were "entrusted" by that guy Tao Zhiming who asked people in the dance hall to find them, right?

But the quality is really good.

However, they are not as good as the Sakai Izumi, Miyori Asuka, Kawai Sonoko and Kudo Shizuka who were on stage at the beginning of the performance. He jokingly asked Tao Zhiming if he could introduce them to them, but Tao Zhiming only said perfunctorily that they were performing.

After that, I have to attend the rehearsal of the fashion festival.

It looks a bit like a forbidden prison.

This guy is indeed weak when it comes to women. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, the drama Guan Zhilin caused was photographed by Zhao Yuanxi of the Tao Group, but it was rumored that Guan Zhilin was seen coming out of the Furama Hotel the next day.

Now, didn’t Qiu Shuzhen, the Hong Kong sister who retired from the competition this year, break up with Mr. Guan again and come to Tokyo?

When Li Ju came here this time, he never got a chance to be alone and convey his father's opinions to Tao Zhiming.

But when I got here, I really got to see his strength on Neon's side.

Last night at the restaurant where geishas were serving, Li Ju met many of Tao Zhiming's friends.

Recalling the scene last night, Li Ju felt a little disdainful: Why bring friends from the Neon Jida here? Show him his black and white skills in Neon?

The secretary to the governor of Tokyo actually remained polite and did not seem unhappy.

Li Ju also met the other two rich people on Neon's list this time, one of whom is even the current real estate leader of the Mori family, which is considered to have assets of over 10 billion yuan.

On the Xiang Island side, except for Mrs. Lee, there are no senior figures at the helm, so they are almost at a disadvantage.

However, this also highlights Tao Zhiming's tendency to like ostentation: entertaining these juniors, because he is a peer and the master, is understandable; however, when he invited the secretary of the governor of Tokyo, the original Chinese head of Neon, the two

Wealthy friends seem to be here just to show off their muscles to these friends from Hong Kong.

While thinking about it, he left the hotel room and prepared to visit the Dimensional Bookstore opened by Tao Zhiming in Neon.

Dad seemed to take Tao Zhiming seriously and asked Li Ju to come over and take a closer look at how his dance hall and bookstore were run.

Because Dad and the others seemed a little unsure as to why Tao Zhiming wanted to invest in tourism-related businesses in Xiangdao. The payback period for these industries is too long.

He has obviously made great achievements in the two fields of real estate and finance. If he does not invest the main money in these fields, his father and others will not be able to figure it out.

According to common sense, it is understandable to use some of your spare money to do something you like.

However, with Tao Zhiming's aggressive behavior in Neon, how could he still have such spare money?

Li Ju felt that his father and the others were too cautious. Just looking at Tao Zhiming's grandeur here in Neon was much bigger than that in Xiangdao. He was clearly a nouveau riche. He invested randomly after he had more money, but it just happened to happen.

Neon Now is a great time to get loan financing very easy.

Didn't he use the example of Kitaro Watanabe, who is No. 7 on the rich list, yesterday? He also suggested to the young men from big families in Hong Kong that if they want to take the express train of Tokyo real estate, now is a good time.

Isn't it just land speculation? Buy it, refinance it, and then acquire more land. But just like this, you can become the 7th richest person on the rich list. Neon's money is indeed very profitable now. Li Ju thinks he can talk to his father and the others when he goes back.

First of all, we can not only focus on Xiang Island.

If Tao Zhiming really does what he said, he can help introduce some reliable project opportunities to them.

At this time, she had been walking slowly with her head lowered when she heard the sound of high heels on the opposite side. When she looked up, she saw two beauties from different countries, one from the east and one from the west, walking over. But the common feature was that both of them were relatively indifferent.

Their expressions also have a very mature charm.

Li Ju's eyes lit up. Most of the people living on this floor were guests entertained by Tao Zhiming.

Seeing Li Ju, Fukaya Riko stopped and bowed slightly, and then continued to say to Monica Bellucci in English: "The president will be very busy today. Miss Monica can see you at the evening event."

to his."

Looking back at the two people who had walked away, Li Ju sighed: Is this neon woman also a subordinate of Tao Zhiming?

Does this guy have a collecting habit?

…

At this moment, Tao Zhiming was in the reception room of Sanyou Investment Bank, having his last interview with David Cook, the founder of Blockbuster, as the president of Sanyou Investment Bank.

Baron Berg advised: "Mr. Cook, you must know that this is a rare opportunity. Mr. Sun runs Neon's largest software distribution company, Neon Manufacturing and Neon Management Model. You are not incompetent in your current position.

I know. Since you really want to try the management software industry, Mr. Tao is a better partner! What can Mr. Wayne bring you? If Mr. Tao withdraws from the bid for Blockbuster, what do you think he will do?

Will you still spend 21 million yuan?"

Tao Zhiming and Son sat there, quietly waiting for David Cook to make a decision.

"Mr. Cook, in short, the most I can offer is 19 million yuan, plus an additional 1 million US dollars to invest in your new company." Tao Zhiming looked at his watch, "Now, it depends on whether you are prepared to sell more money at once, or for the future.

You can give up some of your short-term benefits."

David Cook looked at the three people opposite him. On the third day of his stay with Neon, Wayne Huizenga had already contacted him.

But he didn't know the purpose of coming to Tokyo. He just thought that the price was higher, so he added another 1 million yuan.

A difference of 3 million yuan is not a small number.

How many people will never earn 3 million yuan in their lifetime?

However, Baron Berg is right. As long as we clearly give up, will Wayne still reach the current price?

For me, the future Neon market is still very imaginary. The main reason is that my conversation with Mr. Tao the night before yesterday gave me a lot of inspiration. My originally unclear intuition about the software industry is now much clearer.

.

Yes, management methods have become more digital, that's the expression. This is also the reason why my Blockbuster is better, and also why I feel that it doesn't matter if I sell Blockbuster, because there is a broader and more

The market of imagination.

He always felt that Tao Zhiming still had a lot to say, and he even had clearer suggestions on the direction of the management software industry he wanted to pursue.

"Mr. Tao, if you are willing to let me continue to retain 10% to 20% of the shares in Blockbuster, then I am willing even at the price of 18 million yuan." David Cook said, "Of course I am.

I am more inclined to Mr. Tao's suggestion and hope to cooperate in what I want to do in the future. However, Mr. Wayne's price is now 22 million yuan, which is too far apart."

Tao Zhiming smiled, looked at Barron Berg and said to David Cook: "Mr. Barron also took you to see my Dimension Bookstore, right? I have those from Blockbuster.

, the experience is very rich, the two countries are just slightly different in cultural habits and industry rules.

Same. I am a young man like you. Mr. Wayne actually already knows that I have a plan, which is to invest in a video rental company to compete with him. Now he is just worried that I just lied to him, so

I just want to shake you down as soon as possible."

After he finished speaking, he stood up and patted Sun Zhengyi on the shoulder: "In short, Sun Jun and I have expressed our intentions to you. As long as you really do the management software, he and I will not only be able to invest

, and it can also connect you with the resources of the top computer manufacturers and operating system developers, giving you an advantage. Whether to bet that Mr. Wayne will not lower prices, or to bet on the future of your new company, Mr. Cook will decide for himself.

Okay. Sorry, I'm really busy today, so just squeezing out half an hour is my limit."

"Mr. Tao!" David Cook also stood up and stared at him, "You know so much about the management software industry and you have entrusted Mr. Sun's employees to develop it. Why don't you do it yourself?"

Tao Zhiming burst into laughter: "My energy is limited, how can I do everything by myself? Here in Tokyo now, I am busy enough with real estate and financial matters."

David Cook met again today, and it was nothing more than to confirm the resources that Tao Zhiming and Son Zhengyi could bring to him as investors in the future. In fact, he was already quite excited. However, the current purchase price of Blockbuster

After all, the distance is 3 million yuan, and he also hopes to sell it to Wayne Huizenga, and the new company can also receive investment from Tao Zhiming and Son Zhengyi.

How could Tao Zhiming accept this problem from him? Both parties wanted to get the best of him.

Seeing that Tao was about to leave, Barron Berg once again advised David Cook: "Mr. Cook, I can guarantee that once Mr. Tao decides not to buy Blockbuster, he will just sell the video tapes of his Dimension Bookstore and

Spinning off the rental business and developing it in the United States will have an impact on Mr. Wayne's determination to acquire Blockbuster, let alone maintaining the current offer. You have proven your ability in just two years, why bother with just two or three

What about Mr. Tao, who is more powerful in all aspects and refuses to pay millions of dollars?"

He almost didn't say it out loud: One is a rising billionaire who is still so young, and the other is an old guy who started in a waste management company and now can barely touch the threshold of 100 million yuan. You need to be so hesitant to be friends with whom.

?

"Mr. Tao, what do you think the prospects of the management software industry are?"

Tao Zhiming looked at Sun Zhengyi after hearing this: "Sun Jun, what do you think?"

"Infinite!" Masayoshi Son still used this exaggerated style. "In the era when computers are popularized, all enterprises, governments and other organizations will use computers and software in management. This is a revolutionary improvement in efficiency! I really want to say

If so, I think it is at least a market worth hundreds of billions of dollars, but it has only just been explored. We are not sure whether Mr. Cook can succeed. However, investing a sum of money now is worth trying!"

After SoftBank has developed for more than a year, Masayoshi Son finally has the courage to enjoy the feeling of investing in others like Tao Zhiming.

Listening to figures like 100 billion yuan, Baron Berg immediately praised: "Did you hear that? You are in the United States, and now you have met investors like Mr. Tao and Mr. Sun who know this industry so well? I know.

You won’t be short of money after selling Blockbuster, but to open up a new field, friends and resources are more important!”
