Rebirth: Japanese investor

   Chapter 30 Looking for someone

  Bill Gates once said that if Wang An could complete his second strategic turning point, there might not be Microsoft as it is today.

  He Bill Gates wouldn't be a hero of the PC age either, he might have become a mathematician or a lawyer somewhere.

   Masayoshi Kishimoto, who was sitting on the sofa, immediately had such a sentence in his head. Wang An's failure lies in his insistence. He clearly knows that his eldest son, Wang Lie, who is in charge of the R&D department, has presided over the development of ten new projects, but none of them have been successful.

   He still let Wang Lie succeed him, even though he was constantly opposed by the top management of the company, he was stubborn, believing that tiger fathers have no dogs.

The direct result of    is that many of the top management of the company resigned angrily, making Wang An Computer hurt.

The final outcome of    was in May 1999, when Wang An was acquired by GetronicsNV, a Dutch computer service company, for US$2 billion. A Chinese proud legend has come to an end.

  Kishimoto Masayoshi learned from this experience that he would not repeat the mistakes of Wang An. Even if he expands and strengthens his career in the future, he will eventually face the problem of choosing a successor one day.

The soul of Kishimoto justice is Chinese, and he can fully understand and understand that Wang An's original intention as a father is to inherit his father's business. I hope that the family business he created can be passed down from generation to generation. defeat.

   In contrast, Wang An's old rival IBM also had such a problem. The founder Watson Sr. hopes that his eldest son, Watson Jr., will take over.

   Little Watson's initial attitude was that he didn't want to work, and always hoped that his father would change his mind so that he could hand over IBM to his younger brother.

  In the end, Watson Jr. took over from IBM and became the greatest capitalist ever. He retired, but instead of a father-to-son handover like his father, he chose a corporate model in which professional managers manage family-owned businesses.

   In this respect, he has indeed set up a model model for successful business operations for future generations. For this reason, Masayoshi Kishimoto will not follow the old ways, and he will have to pass on the business he built in the future to his eldest son.

   Whoever has the ability will take over. Whether this is the eldest son or other children, he will treat him equally. Of course, in order to have more choices, I will try my best to have more children.

One woman can't do it, two, three, four... He can't do more work, and he's willing to work when he's tired. Anyway, there are many women and men in the Nihong Kingdom. Embarrassing situation to the wife.

   When Masayoshi Kishimoto was thinking, should there be a white American girl among his many women, so that he can create some mixed-race children?

   Black woman? Forget it. Even if he is not a racist, he always adheres to the fact that Chinese people naturally like white-skinned women.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi stood up unhurriedly and started his rehearsal. Like some of the CEOs of high-tech companies who have emulated Jobs, he began to explain the "new product" recommendation.

Masayoshi Kishimoto's "new product" is the word of lobbying, and the purpose is nothing more than to make Larry Page and Sergey Brin excited, so that they can officially sign with him and accept what he has prepared early. That one hundred thousand dollars check.

   Now that he has a clear goal, he starts to stop thinking about those investment options that are backed up. After all, single-mindedness can improve the probability of success.

  If everything leaves a way out for yourself, it will be difficult for you to concentrate on tackling tough problems, which will result in a situation where you can’t do anything and eat nothing.

   After one night, the next morning. Masayoshi Kishimoto, who didn't need to lose the jet lag and didn't have the spare time to slowly lose the jet lag, took a shower before going out and walked out of the hotel neatly dressed.

   He didn't have a suit and leather shoes. After all, it was too serious and formal, which was not conducive to the first meeting and conversation between the two parties. If you wear a shirt, jeans, and a pair of sneakers on your feet, it's too casual. It will inevitably give Larry Page and Sergey Brin an illusion, will he be a liar?

   Kishimoto Masayoshi wore a light blue casual suit without a tie, a white shirt with trousers, and a pair of casual leather shoes on his feet. I didn't bring all this from Tokyo, but bought it in a mall in San Francisco.

  Kishimoto Masayoshi stepped into the campus of Stanford University, and naturally knew that the best place to find someone was the male dormitory.

   Even if he didn't know the exact location of the dormitory building they lived in, it wouldn't be difficult for him, after all, under the nose is the mouth. The mouth can be used to ask for directions.

  Kishimoto Masayoshi asked several passers-by, A, B, C, D, and found the boys' dormitory area smoothly. His next thing is to find the dormitory administrator.

   The dormitory manager he met was a middle-aged and fat white man, and politely said, "Excuse me, which dorm do Larry Page and Sergey Brin live in?"

  The middle-aged white man sat in the window and just looked up indifferently, and said weakly, "I don't know."

  Kishimoto Masayoshi immediately understood the meaning of racism in the eyes of the other party. Who makes himself an Asian face?

   He didn't ignite at one point, he was stunned when he stirred. He didn't get angry, after all, this is not important, but the important thing is to find Larry Page and Sergey Brin.

  Otherwise, what would you do if you flew all the way from Tokyo to San Francisco for more than ten hours? Is it just to quarrel or fight with a low-level white man? of course not. He is here to invest.

   Masayoshi Kishimoto checked that there was no one left, so he took out his wallet, took out a hundred dollars and put it in front of the other party and said, "Help me check the student register."

   When the middle-aged white man saw the money, his eyes immediately lit up. He stood up voluntarily, leaned forward and stuck his head out of the window, seeing that there was no third person, so he quickly grabbed the money on the table and quickly put it into his right trousers pocket.

   The middle-aged white man sat down again, and his attitude changed immediately: "Who are you looking for?"

   "Larry Page and Sergey Brin." Masayoshi Kishimoto thought that as long as he found either of them, he would be able to find the other. Now, even if they don't live together, they often get together to discuss what they think.

   "Be specific. Which major?" The middle-aged white man felt that the scope was too broad.

   "Larry Page is a PhD student in Computer Science at Stanford University, and Sergey Brin is also a PhD student in Computer Science." Masayoshi Kishimoto said truthfully.

  The middle-aged white man opened a drawer on the far left in front of him, searched it for a while, then took out a student registration book and began to open it and look down.
