Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 392 Face Fruit Owner

  October 18, a day that was unremarkable to the world.

   The same is true for many people in Tokyo, except that there is another group of energetic people looking forward to what the so-called "Tokyo Fashion Festival" will look like in the evening.

   Their expectations are mainly aimed at some singers, actors and idol actresses who will appear in fashion festivals wearing clothing from major brands. It is not easy to make an appointment to enter the scene, and it should be better to watch it directly on TV Tokyo.

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

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

  The executive committee of the Tokyo Fashion Festival reserved a lot of rooms, and Tao Zhiming also asked Ti Yoshiaki to help reserve a room on the first floor to receive guests from the United States, Idari, and Xiangdao.

   Near noon, Li Jucai woke up from the hotel room. He looked around, and suddenly felt that this woman wasn't as attractive as she looked after being drunk in WanderDance last night.

After    woke her up, although Li Ju smiled very gentlemanly, and also gave a sum of money, saying that he would have an appointment later, and that he would not be able to play with her in the afternoon, but he still invited her away as quickly as possible.

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

  WanderDance is quite a bit of a tune, especially when I think about it now, there are many Tokyo girls who so-called play by themselves, right?

   But the quality is really good.

   However, they are not as good as those Sakai Izumi, Miyi Asuka, Kawai Sonoko and Kudo Shizuka who were on the stage at the beginning of the performance. He jokingly asked Tao Zhiming if he could introduce him, Tao Zhiming just said perfunctorily that they would go to the rehearsal of the fashion festival after the performance.

   looks a bit like a ban.

   This guy is really weak when it comes to women. On the night of the Mid-Autumn Festival, Guan Zhilin's drama was filmed by Zhao Yuanxi of the Dow Group, but it is rumored that Guan Zhilin came out of the Furama Hotel the next day.

   Now, Qiu Shuzhen, the Hong Kong sister who retired this year, broke up with Guan Shao again and came to Tokyo?

  Li Ju came here this time, but he has not been able to get a separate opportunity to pass on his father's opinion to Tao Zhiming.

   But when I came here, I really saw his strength on Neon's side.

  Last night at the restaurant where a geisha served, Li Ju met many friends from Tao Zhiming here.

  Recalling the scene last night, Li Ju felt a little disdain: Why bring his friends on the neon pole here? Show off his black and white take-all in neon?

  The secretary of the Governor of Tokyo is still polite all the time, and it doesn't seem to be unpleasant.

  Li Ju also met the other two richest people on Neon's list this time. One of them is even the current real estate helm of the Mori family, which is considered to be worth over 10 billion yuan.

  On the side of Kashima, apart from Mrs. Lee, there is no older generation at the helm, and they have fallen by a few percent.

However, this also highlights Tao Zhiming's ostentation: entertaining these juniors, because he is a peer and a master, this is understandable; however, he is the secretary of the governor of Tokyo, the original Chinese family head of Neon, and the two The wealthy friends seem to be just showing off their muscles to these friends from Xiangdao.

   As he thought, he left the hotel room, ready to go to see the Dimensional Bookstore that Tao Zhiming had set up on Neon's side.

   Dad seemed to take Tao Zhiming very seriously, and asked Li Ju to come over and take a good look at how his dance hall and bookstore were operating.

  Because Dad and the others seem to be a little unsure of why Tao Zhiming wants to invest in some tourism-related businesses in Xiangdao, these industries have a long payback period.

   He has also made a lot of achievements in the two fields of real estate and finance. If he does not invest his main money in these fields, it makes Dad and the others less able to figure it out.

  According to common sense, it is understandable to take out some spare money and do some business that you like to do.

   However, with Tao Zhiming's stance on Neon's side, how can he still have such spare money?

Li Ju felt that Dad and the others were too cautious. Just looking at Tao Zhiming's much bigger pomp on Neon's side than on Xiangdao, he was clearly a nouveau riche. After he had a lot of money, he would invest indiscriminately, but he just happened to meet him. Neon Now is a great time for loan financing to be very easy.

   Didn't he take the example of Kitaro Watanabe, who is number 7 on the rich list yesterday? I also suggested to these big family sons and brothers in Xiangdao that if you want to take the express train of Tokyo real estate, now is a good time and so on.

Isn't    just fried land? Buy and refinance, and then collect more land. But he can also become the seventh richest person in this way. Neon's money is really good now. Li Ju feels that he can talk to his father and the others when he goes back, and his eyes can not only focus on Xiangdao.

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

   At this moment, she, who had been walking slowly with her head down, heard the sound of high heels on the opposite side. Looking up, beautiful women from two different countries, one east and one west, came over. But the common feature is that both of them have relatively indifferent expressions and also have a very mature charm.

  Li Ju's eyes lit up. The people who lived on this floor were basically the guests that Tao Zhiming entertained.

Seeing Li Ju, Fukagu ​​Lizi stopped and bowed slightly, and then continued to say to Monica Bellucci in English: "Mr. President will be very busy today, Miss Monica can meet you at the event at night. to him."

   Looking back at the two who had gone far, Li Ju sighed: This neon woman is also Tao Zhiming's subordinate?

   Does this guy have a habit of collecting?

  …

   At this moment, Tao Zhiming is in the reception room of Sanyou Investment Bank, and as the president of Sanyou Investment Bank, he has the last interview with David Cook, the founder of Blockbuster.

Barron Berg advised: "Mr. Cook, you must know that this is a rare opportunity. Mr. Sun runs Neon's largest software distribution company, Neon's manufacturing and Neon's management model, and you are 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, do you think he Will you still come up with 21 million yuan?"

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

"Mr. Cook, in short, I will pay a maximum of 19 million yuan, plus 1 million US dollars to invest in your new company." Tao Zhiming looked at his watch, "Now, it depends on whether you are going to sell more money once, or for the future. You can give up some short-term benefits.”

  David Cook looked at the three people on the opposite side. It had been the third day on Neon's side, and Wayne Huyzenga had already contacted him.

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

   is separated by 3 million yuan, which is not a small number.

  How many people earn less than 3 million yuan in a lifetime?

   However, Barron Berger is right, as long as this side clearly gives up, can Wayne's side still be able to get the current price?

  The future market of neon is still very empty for me. Mainly, I got a lot of inspiration from the conversation with Mr. Tao the night before yesterday. The intuition that used to be unclear about the software industry is now much clearer.

   That's right, management has become more digital, that's the statement. This is also the reason why my Blockbuster is better, and I think it doesn't matter if I sell Blockbuster, because there is a broader and more imaginative market.

   He always felt that Tao Zhiming still had a lot to say, among which there was even a clearer direction suggestion for the management software industry he wanted to do.

"Mr. Tao, if you are willing to let me keep 10% to 20% of the shares in Blockbuster, then even at the price of 18 million yuan, I am willing." David Cook said, "Of course I am. I am more inclined to Mr. Tao's suggestion, and there is still cooperation in what I will do in the future. However, Mr. Wayne's asking price is now 22 million yuan, which is too far away. "

Tao Zhiming smiled, looked at Barron Berger and said to David Cook: "Mr. Barron also took you to see my Dimension Bookstore? I have the ones from Blockbuster. , the experience is very rich, the two countries are only slightly different in cultural habits and industry rules. Like you, I am a young man. Mr. Wayne, in fact, already knew that I have this plan, which is to invest by myself A video rental company competes with him. He's just worried that I'm just lying to him, so he wants to shake you 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 already expressed our intention to you, as long as you really do the management software, not only can he and I invest in it. , and can also connect you with the resources of the top computer manufacturers and operating system developers, allowing you to take the lead. Whether to bet Mr. Wayne will not cut prices, or to bet on the future of your new company, Mr. Cook considers himself Right. Sorry, I'm really busy today, and it's the limit to squeeze out this half an hour temporarily."

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

  Tao Zhiming laughed dumbly: "My energy is limited, how can I do everything by myself? Now in Tokyo, real estate and financial matters are enough for me."

  David Cook met again today, nothing more than confirming the resources that Tao Zhiming and Sun Zhengyi can bring to him later as investors, which is actually quite exciting. It's just that Blockbuster's purchase price is 3 million yuan apart on the surface after all. He also hopes that it will be sold to Wayne Huyzenga, and this new company will also receive investment from Tao Zhiming and Sun Zhengyi.

  Tao Zhiming would take over this stubbornness, and both sides wanted to get better.

Barron Berger saw that Tao knew that he was going to leave, and persuaded David Cook again: "Mr. Cook, I can guarantee that once Mr. Tao decides not to buy Blockbuster, he will just sell the videotapes of his Dimension Bookstore and sell them. Spinning off the rental business to the United States will have an impact on Mr. Wayne's determination to acquire Blockbuster, not to mention maintaining the current offer. You have already proved your ability in just two years, so why bother for the mere two or three? One million yuan, how about rejecting Mr. Tao, who is more powerful in all aspects?"

He almost didn't say it: one is a billionaire who is rising and is still so young, and the other is an old guy who started a waste management company and can only touch the threshold of 100 million yuan. Who needs to be hesitant to be friends with ?

   "Mr. Tao, what do you think is the future of the management software industry?"

   Tao Zhiming heard the words and looked at Sun Zhengyi: "Sun Jun, what do you think?"

"Unlimited!" Sun Zhengyi still has this exaggerated style. "In the era of computer popularization, all enterprises, governments and other organizations will use computers and software in management. This is a revolutionary progress in efficiency! I really want to say If you do, I think it is at least 100 billion yuan in the market, but it has just been developed. We are not sure whether Mr. Cook will succeed. However, it is worth trying to invest a sum of money now!"

   After more than a year of development of SoftBank, Masayoshi Son is now finally a little courageous to enjoy the feeling of investing in others like Tao Zhiming.

Hearing the figure of 100 billion yuan level, Barron Berg immediately praised: "Did you hear it? You are in the United States, have you met investors like Mr. Tao and Mr. Sun who know this industry so well? I know After you sell Blockbuster, you won't be short of money, but to open up a new field, friends and resources are more important!"

David Cook has been in Neon for three days and two nights. He looked at Tao Zhiming and was about to say something when Tao Zhiming said, "Well, do as you say. 18 million yuan, I will pay for it. You keep 10%. In this way, when you have a more promising new company in your mind, when you need to expand your investment in the future, you can sell the 10% without diluting the new company's shares too much."

   "Mr. Tao is willing?"

Tao Zhiming smiled and stretched out his hand: "Why don't you want to? After meeting and chatting with Mr. Cook, I am also willing to make you a friend. Don't worry, Blockbuster will be handed over to me, and only one or two will be used. In this year, the value of this 10% stake is more than two or three million yuan."

  David Cook finally made up his mind.

  10% of the shares, and dividends are distributed every year. And if the current momentum continues, it is indeed possible to double the value in another year or two. In this case, the comprehensive income that he can get is about the same as the current bid by Wayne Huyzen.

   Barron Berg is overjoyed, as long as this single can talk about success. I just don’t know if it is not a 100% complete acquisition now, and whether KPMG can still get all the service remuneration as agreed.

   Sun Zhengyi, who left with Tao Zhiming, was very puzzled in the car: "Are you so optimistic about that Blockbuster? Are you willing to leave 10% of the shares for him?"

"The penetration rate of TV recorders and movie viewing habits in the United States are much more mature than neon." Tao Zhiming did not say what it meant for him to form a network of retail stores throughout the United States, "Leave 10% to him and receive It can be smoother, and he will help me more in the United States for this other benefit."

   "Indeed...this is also your usual style, not greedy."

   "Greedy!" Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "Really decided to list SoftBank as soon as possible?"

Masayoshi Son nodded and said expectantly: "Yeah! The stock market's rally is so good now that we've finally beaten SoftWing down, now it's time to plan an IPO and have more funds to lay out the future of personal computers! At present, Neon's semiconductors are under pressure, and it is the time to shrink back to more energy to promote the development of the neon computer market. I think it is a good opportunity!"

  Tao Zhiming just smiled and nodded, it was indeed a good opportunity!

   Who would have thought that because of his own indiscretions, he would be able to kill his competitors so long in advance and reach the stage where he can go public?

   However, at this moment, isn't it sending money to Tao Zhiming?

   Then you can only be disrespectful and help him after he collapses in the neon stock market.

  The two of them headed to Mogami Kekakucho tonight's fashion event. In order to present better results, I asked Sun Zhengyi for help and invited some expert teams in computer and hardware.

   At this moment, the final layout and debugging of the Tokyo Fashion Festival is underway.

   TV Tokyo will broadcast live here. With Tao Zhiming's current contacts, people from the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs will come. Many actresses with high reputation in neon walked together, and ordinary people even thought that this was the appeal of the Tokyo Metropolitan Government and the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

  Masayoshi Son sighed with emotion: "How did you invite so many stars at one time? Is it worth spending so much money?"

Tao Zhiming laughed: "You don't understand this, right? I wrote the song that is now number one on the Oricon Music Chart! I still have ideas for good scripts, I have money to invest, and there will be many more in the future. Animation needs to be produced. The planned events are also sensational such as the Hokkaido Music Festival and the Tokyo Fashion Festival. Singers, actors, idols, who can’t sell me a face?”

   These words made Sun Zhengyi stunned and speechless.

   In fact, the title of the youngest billionaire is enough, and he is so tall and handsome.

   For a while, jealousy made Sun Zhengyi beyond recognition.

  What the heck, he is right!

  The owner of the face fruit, Tao Zhiming, is in a good mood these days. To be able to go so smoothly, of course, there is help from Tao Ya.

   Now I know why he is so friendly.

   It turns out that it is not only that he has established cooperation with Tao Zhiming on private interests, but also hopes that Tao Zhiming will promote the grand layout of the Tokyo Sub-city Plan.

   I just mentioned this idea to Shunji Suzuki at the time, and I hurriedly planned such an event in order to help the pre-sale of Mogami Kekakucho.

   As a result, in a short period of time, everything went smoothly.

   This is of course not just because of his current influence, but more importantly, Neon's arrogance in this bubble era is so high!

  Tonight this fashion event is just like the style of this era.

   And the real bosses behind the scenes are all wiping their scythes to see who is fascinated by this illusory prosperity.

   People like that are green leeks!
