Reborn in Hong Kong: The Tycoon Grows Up

It was evening, and Bao Shaofu didn't even attend the internal meeting of the Blackstone Fund; after all, there were important things to do, and he was the one organizing the game, so it was hard for others to wait for him. It was still the Imperial Hotel in Tokyo, and he even specially chose the room where he met with Yasu Mieye; just to let them know that he was ready.

Koki Iwasaki certainly knew why he chose this place, but Akio Morita didn't understand what was going on because the Sony intelligence system was not strong enough. I just wonder when this guy became so high-profile. I didn't like being in such a grand place before. Could it be that as I grow older, my thoughts on increasing wealth become different.

It's not impossible. Bao Zixuan has long ceased to be a pure scientific researcher; his personality has also become calm; it is natural for the three of them to find a similar place to meet.

When you are young, you may not care so much, especially for a technical boss. But everyone's energy is limited after all. Even if Bao Zixuan delegates power, it is impossible to focus on R\u0026D and not participate in the company's management at all.

And in Akio Morita's opinion, the opposite is true; from Bao's recent travel trajectory, it is not difficult to see that he has put corporate management first. Even though he is a super genius, his company has already reached such a scale; if the focus does not change, he may suffer more losses in the future.

When you first start a business, you may not care about these things; but now no one can do it. The reason why Ibuka didn't participate in the specific management of Sony back then was because he felt that R\u0026D and management could not be fully balanced. Bao Zixuan may be more capable than Jing Shenda, but Heiyun Group is larger, so there is absolutely not much time for research and development.

As a scientific researcher, I don’t pay much attention to business situations. But as a business manager, of course my thoughts are different. I don’t know whether Bao Zixuan’s transformation is good or bad, I guess only time will tell!

At 7pm Tokyo time, Iwasaki Koki and Morita Akio came to the private room almost at the same time. The more successful a businessman is, the better he is at keeping time. Moreover, the inviter today is Bao Shaofu, so they are not qualified to let people wait there.

After a few people sat down, Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "I have been in Japan for a few days. The company had something to deal with before, so I didn't notify my friends. After the things were done, I invited you two as soon as possible."

The two of them didn't have any objections to this. After all, everyone had official business to attend to. Although they were very low-key when they came to Japan, big moves were very frequent. How could such a big deal not be personally involved?

Iwasaki Koki said with a smile: "Don't be polite, Bao-san, but next time you come to Japan, you have to say hello in advance. Even if you are busy, there is always time for a meal, so that Morita-kun and I can come in." Landlord friendship.”

The order of speakers is very particular, and is directly related to status.

Akio Morita is a super tycoon in front of others, but in front of Koki Iwasaki, the young master of Mitsubishi, he really has to keep a low profile; strictly speaking, Sony is also a subsidiary of the Mitsubishi Group; at least the Japanese people will classify Sony as a Mitsubishi group! After all, in addition to the founding shareholders, Sony's largest shareholder is the Mitsubishi Group.

Together with Shaodong's family, of course we have to understand what's going on. If it is on an external occasion, the situation will change; in terms of how to say Akio Morita is famous, Koki Iwasaki should respect his predecessors even if he has a high status. But now that this is a private occasion, the ranking must be strictly based on status; no matter how famous the outside world is or how high the prestige is, it will not suffice.

Akio Morita smiled and said: "Bao-san, we haven't seen each other for a long time. Just like Iwasaki-kun said, you might as well come to Japan to say hello in advance and sit down to chat."

If you invite them over, you must have something to discuss. Therefore, we all adhere to the principle of "the enemy cannot stand, I don't understand"; first let's take a look at what Bao Shaofu means. We are all busy people and our time is very precious; we will never waste too much time here.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "We are still chatting while eating. We are all old acquaintances; there is no need to be so formal. I brought a bottle of old wine from China to have a good taste."

Now is not the time to be anxious, after all, dinner time has just begun. And when we start talking about work, it feels very heavy. At the same time, Bao Zixuan has already learned to observe, and he has matured a lot in recent years!

It is still Maotai, and Bao Shaofu is definitely the largest customer of Maotai, and there is no one else. The annual purchasing volume of Heiyun Group is as much as that of all other customers combined; it accounts for nearly half of Moutai's output. Of course, the current price of Moutai, in Bao's opinion, is about the same as cabbage. It is estimated that after 30 years, people will come back to their senses and realize that everything was planned by others.

After three rounds of wine and five dishes, everyone put down their chopsticks. And everyone knew that Bao Zixuan had a good drinker, so the two Japanese didn't dare to drink too much; they didn't dare to drink too much when they had something serious to talk about.

When he came to the tea room next to him, he asked the service staff to leave, and Bao Zixuan made tea for the two of them himself. Iwasaki Koki and Morita Akio instantly knew what was going on. This guy must be discussing something important. When I first came in, I discovered that the security staff had conducted a detailed inspection of the room, and there was absolutely no monitoring equipment.

After sitting down, Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Since the three of us have started selling real estate in Japan today, many things will not be hidden. We are friends on the one hand, and the most important thing is that we can all think of it together; we are like-minded." Then it becomes natural to collaborate on a big project.”

When they heard Bao Zixuan talking about cooperating on a big project, the two of them immediately understood what he meant; this guy really had a back-up plan. On second thought, the business in Japan is not big enough; it is really exciting.

Seeing that the two of them were silent, it was clear that he wanted to continue. Bao Zixuan continued: "Why did you choose this box? In fact, I didn't know about the Imperial Hotel originally. Just two days ago, the President of the Bank of Japan Yasushi Miejeno invited me to stay at the Imperial Hotel. After a meal, this is the room.

"As for why I was only invited, it should be because I saw that Blackstone Fund has been selling off the Japanese real estate and stocks it holds; at the same time, during the negotiation process, many of our ideas coincided with each other!"

"Every commodity in the world has a price, and economic development also follows certain rules. Japan's 30 consecutive years of rapid economic growth cannot be said to be a miracle, but it is also difficult to replicate."

"If you sell Tokyo at this moment, you can buy the entire United States; Japan holds 14 of the top 20 listed companies in the world. Haven't you two discovered the problem yet? Mie Noyasu's meaning is obvious, the Bank of Japan will take necessary measures , intervene in the economy and currency.”

"Once the Bank of Japan promulgates monetary policy, the property and stock markets will collapse. In fact, I felt something was wrong as early as half a year ago. After all, Japan's GDP is simply not enough to support such high housing prices."

"Although attracting foreign investment is one thing, Japan does not have resources; and natural disasters such as volcanoes and earthquakes occur frequently. I am not afraid of your anger. At least I am not willing to live in Japan for a long time; coming here for vacation occasionally is not a priority!"

"And because the currency continues to appreciate, exports of goods lose the advantage of earning foreign exchange. If a country without resources cannot earn profits outside its home country, how will its enterprises survive?"

"Industry is the core and foundation, especially for a country with a population of more than 100 million. At this moment, many Japanese industrial companies are involved in stock and real estate investment, and the funds originally used for research and development will inevitably decrease. Of course, no one can blame this, After all, the product that I worked so hard to develop was put on the market, and I found that I could make more money than buying a property.”

"If the sales of goods are not good, then how can we support the high room? The company has no profit, and the stock price is just artificially high."

"No matter which aspect you analyze, the Japanese stock market and real estate market will collapse. I don't know what you two think, but in short, the Blackstone Fund think tank gave the analysis results; in two years, house prices in Tokyo, Japan, will be at most half of the current price. ;Some places even only have three floors at current prices.”

After Bao Zixuan finished speaking, the two of them didn't react for a moment. The analysis was thorough and clear, and we also contacted the Bank of Japan. Of course they knew Mie Yeyasu, but he was a proud man. I don't have a good impression of chaebols, but I won't offend them either. I didn't expect to take the initiative to invite this kid. Perhaps in Mie Yeyasu's opinion, both parties are close friends.

The two of them felt even more incredible about the analysis results of the Blackstone Think Tank. It is a basic configuration for large companies to have think tanks, but I did not expect that they were not optimistic about the Japanese economy. Is there really a problem? It's not impossible. At this moment, the two old boys began to make calculations in their hearts. My mind is a little confused; I don’t even know what to do!

After all, the results announced by Bao Zixuan were really shocking; I had thought that Japan's economy would decline before, but I didn't expect it to be so severe. Is there no way to remedy all this? As a well-known Japanese entrepreneur, it is really sad to watch everything happen and be powerless!
