Chapter 1271: Sale
Masayoshi Son is an internationally renowned investor and Chairman and President of SoftBank Group. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info
His life is a legend.
This man, who is 1.5 meters tall, controls almost 70% of Japan's Internet economy.
He has a unique business style and investment vision, is adventurous, straightforward and will do it as soon as he makes a decision.
In this regard, Park Ji-hoon is somewhat similar to him, or many successful people have this.
As early as 2013, SoftBank Group intended to acquire the studio of "Wisdom Dragon Maze", but Park Zhixun rejected it outright, and even rejected his invitation to meet!
Even now, SoftBank is still trying to buy the studio of "Hidden Dragon", so Park Ji-hoon made an offer to meet Son Yoshi-hyuk with Ji Sang-hyuk.
It can also be regarded as a compensation for the last refusal.
A figure of Son's level is not something that anyone can meet, and even if the other party agrees, the time is not certain. So, after handing over the task to Ji Sang-hyuk, Park Ji-hoon left for the Aizu laboratory.
Park Ji-hoon has always attached great importance to the reserve of talents and technology, and in 2013 acquired Aizu Laboratory, which specializes in the development of APP applications. Aizu Laboratory was established in January 2007 as an affiliate of Aizu University, which is famous for its computer science and engineering, and is dedicated to the development of mobile apps. The Aizu Laboratory, which was originally located in Aizu-Wakamatsu City, Fukushima Prefecture, was acquired and relocated to Tokyo to facilitate technology exchange and human resource introduction, many people have been reluctant to go to Fukushima Prefecture, let alone work there, since the nuclear accident.
Similar to Aizu Laboratory, he has institutions in South Korea, Singapore, the United States, the United Kingdom, Germany, the Netherlands, etc. Although the scale is not large, they all belong to the elite ranks, and they are his talent and technical reserve base, which provides impetus for the development of the company. His vision is not limited to the crazy money-absorbing mobile game market.
Thinking all the way, I arrived at the Aizu laboratory.
It's just that he was lucky, and as soon as he got out of the car, he received a call from Ji Sang-hyuk, and Son asked him to have dinner together in the evening.
It just so happens that Masayoshi Son is in Japan.
After going around the laboratory and communicating with the person in charge of the laboratory, the whole process took only half an hour before Park Ji-hoon left.
For Aizu Laboratory, he does not expect to develop any world-leading technology, but to serve himself!
In fact, his trip was mainly for appeasement. Last month, it was inevitable that the technology that had been developed in the lab for a long time was packed up with a small group.
He is occasionally very lazy, and in order to be lazy, since he came to Japan, he took advantage of the situation to do everything he could.
In Minato-ku, Tokyo, in a building full of Japanese characteristics, Son Masayoshi arrived one step ahead of Park Ji-hoon.
Because it's close.
It is a 100-year-old restaurant, and the name of the restaurant is "Heavy Box", which is taken from the lunch box used to hold grilled eel in the store, and it is often visited by political and business celebrities.
While waiting, Son made a special effort to inquire about Park Ji-hoon's relevant information.
He was full of curiosity about Park Ji-hoon, so he took the initiative to invite him last time, but he didn't expect to be refused. This is one of the few in his history, especially if the other party is still a junior, and it is unique.
However, any genius will always have a little temper.
He doesn't have a lot of sympathy for Park Ji-hoon, but he admires it very much. Moreover, Park Ji-hoon's current achievements are enough for him to look at him differently.
"What an amazing young man!" even he, after reading Park Ji-hoon's information, couldn't help but admire it.
I look at the data, but I think about things outside the data.
didn't make him wait too long, Park Ji-hoon and his party arrived.
Son stood up to greet him.
Although it was the first time they met, the two still locked on to each other for the first time.
Masayoshi Son is very recognizable, not tall, with a somewhat large head, a very low hairline, and a suit.
Park Ji-hoon is unexpectedly young - this is the first impression most people have of him - the eyebrows are delicate, warm as jade, and the height is about 180CM, and Son Masayoshi can't help but be a little jealous of God's love for him!
"Hello, Mr. Son. Park Ji-hoon preemptively greeted him with a junior salute, "I'm sorry to keep you waiting." ”
"It's not long. Son shook hands with Park Ji-hoon, and a flash of surprise flashed in his eyes.
There is no rebelliousness and pride he expected.
"Originally, I wanted to invite you to Longyin's side, but I heard that you don't like it too much. After returning to the small private room, Son said, "The eel rice here is delicious. ”
"You've got a heart. After Park Ji-hoon thanked him, he said, "There are too many rules over there in Longyin, and it doesn't taste pleasant!"
"That's right!" Son Masayoshi was a little surprised by his cheerfulness, and then smiled heartily and agreed.
This is also what he wants to say, there are so many rules for eating, it is not refreshing at all!
He likes cheerful people.
Park Ji-hoon ordered eel tamgo roasted egg roll, braised eel and eel rice in one go, and since he came here, of course he had to taste the signature dish.
"It's the first time I've been rejected by a junior!" said Son suddenly, after the pleasantries.
It's like a joke, and it seems to be a little unhappy.
"That's because I'm afraid I won't be able to turn down your investment. Park Ji-hoon replied without humility or arrogance.
looks easy-going, but in fact Son Zhengyi is a very domineering character, and he once said to Yang Zhiyuan, who is "not short of money": "If you don't let me vote, then I'll vote for your competitor!"
Just avoid it.
Of course, it can also be understood that I am afraid that I will not be able to resist the temptation of capital.
"Hehe......" Son smiled and did not continue the topic.
"How's your acquisition of T-Mobile going?" asked Park Ji-hoon, seemingly casually.
Son's smile froze, and he suddenly felt an urge to scold.
In July last year, he single-handedly controlled the SoftBank Group to spend $21.6 billion to buy a 78% stake in Sprint, the third-largest mobile operator in the United States, and then tried to buy T-Mobile, the fourth-largest mobile operator in the United States, replicating the miracle of his acquisition of Vodafone's Japanese subsidiary and making it the second-largest mobile operator in Japan.
However, this action was blocked by the US telecommunications regulator on the grounds of antitrust!
His sister's is obviously dominated by the boss and the second boss who occupy 70% of the market, and the combination of the third and fourth children is actually a monopoly!
He just scared Park Ji-hoon, and immediately he blocked himself, and sure enough, he was rebellious in his bones!
"Ahem!" Park Ji-hoon coughed lightly, as if he had just understood, and changed the subject and said, "I want to sell part of the shares of the studio "Hidden Dragon", I wonder if you are interested?"
"How much? What price?" asked Son immediately. However, without waiting for Park Ji-hoon to speak, he added: "Forget it if it is less than 50%!"
Strong and decisive!
"The studio is valued at $5 billion...... Park said.
"Inflated!" Son said directly to Park Ji-hoon's words.
Do you think he's a fat sheep?
