The Goddess Shines on America

According to Sun Zhengyi, according to Alice's understanding, his experience in the past few years can be summed up in one sentence, that is, the sun always comes after the storm.

The "Software Bank" company was established in 1981. At that time, Sun Zhengyi was 24 years old. He was just a passionate young man full of dreams for the future. And within half a year of the establishment of this company, he has dealt with a total of forty-two specialty stores and ninety-four software practitioners in Japan, and persuaded Toshiba and Fujitsu to invest in order to expand the company's scale.

In other words, he was looking for financing from other big firms to get his venture capital firm off the ground.

But in the end, he lost money due to poor management. After only one year, he had to return the original investment funds of the consortium.

Fortunately, it is precisely because Sun Zhengyi took the responsibility for the loss on his shoulders, and his character and talent are outstanding. Although he was defeated, he won the admiration of his predecessors, and the software bank has since then become famous. The business has laid a very solid credit foundation.

After failing to start a business, he first started a large-scale capital accumulation. Of course, this time it is no longer money, but the collection of information and intelligence.

As a venture capital enterprise, it is necessary to fully understand the financial and operating conditions of each company. Still in 1982, he conducted market research in the name of the company. It took him one and a half years to carry out a series of market research on forty industries, interviewed various people, read many books and materials, and compiled a ten-year report. The estimated profit and loss balance sheet, balance sheet, capital turnover statement, and various organizational charts, and compare the results with the check list to determine whether these are suitable careers for your life.

After all, after a venture capitalist invests in a company with a large amount of money, it is tantamount to being firmly tied to the company. Either they lost all their money, or they got rich overnight, how could they not be fully investigated?

Still in 1982, one day, Sun Zhengyi saw Hewlett-Packard's magazine "Personal Computer Library" at the exhibition, so he contacted the largest publisher in Japan to publish, and became famous for publishing "Personal Computer Library", which made people SoftBank's reputation rose to prominence.

But still in the same year, the business was thriving, but once again encountered unexpected difficulties. Several large magazines refused to advertise for Softbank. The two magazines he created in May also suffered disastrous failures after only two months. The return rate was as high as 85%, and the pile of magazines was cut into scrap of paper.

Then, there is the current magazine called "TAG". Adding the previous and the present, Masayoshi Son is holding a debt of more than one billion yen. If he cannot offset this fund with new investment, it will be impossible to pay off the loan with normal turnover alone.

"More than a billion yen...that's fifty to sixty million dollars."

After listening to Sun Zhengyi's report, Alice waved her small hand and said easily: "It's a small matter, I have a lot of business in Japan and I can do it. As long as you are a good consultant, it's not a piece of cake to exchange tens of millions? Come on, when you get to the place, look at the map first!"

Regarding the promise made by Alice, Sun Zhengyi just smiled and was noncommittal.

You know, he is a person in the venture capital industry, and he has heard a lot of empty talk and various promises. The saying that you can make a fortune in the future by following yourself has already made people's ears callous. Since Alice was happy to bring the topic back to her own investment itself, Sun Zhengyi was naturally happy to stop talking about his bad things, and rest assured about the business in front of him.

Tokyo is very small. The total area of ​​the entire administrative district is only 2,000 square kilometers, which is one-third of Shanghai, and it is comparable to Tianjin when the entire metropolitan area is included. But Tokyo is also very large, with countless cobweb-like dense streets, not only very narrow in width, but also divided into countless buildings into standard blocks with an average area of ​​less than one hectare. Any outsider arriving in Tokyo for the first time will inevitably get lost in the labyrinthine city.

That's right, Alice's first impression of the traffic conditions in the entire city is that it is far less than the width of the roads in Los Angeles and Chicago. Although the width of the main road can still reach two-way six rows, since the vast majority of Japanese drive domestic cars, and the width of domestic cars has always been narrow, the width of the streets is also locked simultaneously.

This is still the main road. When Sun Zhengyi's Mercedes-Benz drove into a relatively ordinary street, Alice suddenly felt a tingling sensation in her scalp.

This road happened to be uphill, and the two sides of the street were full of small and exquisite buildings, and there were many people passing by on the sidewalk. These are normal, but the road in front of her really brought a confinement-phobic shock to Alice, who was used to walking on the two-way fourteen-row highway in Los Angeles!

I saw that a narrow two-way two-row lane spread from my feet to the hillside with a width slightly narrower than the international standard. The densely packed Japanese-made cars, like subway passengers queuing up to check tickets during peak hours, extend from the foot to the hillside, and there are dozens of them at a glance!

But every car runs at a constant speed, no one brakes or accelerates. Dozens of drivers, like countless marching ants controlled by a queen, work together tacitly and unitedly to create a harmonious and efficient traffic schedule in Tokyo. scene.

"Tsk tsk, Sun Sang, I have a question for you."

Alice smacked her lips and said, "What is the density of Tokyo's transportation network? Do you know?"

Sun Zhengyi pondered for a while and replied: "I have really investigated the relevant data. The total extension of roads in Tokyo should be about 24,000 kilometers, and the length of the district department should be more than 10,000 kilometers. As for your question The average road network density in Tokyo should be ten kilometers per square kilometer, while the twenty-three districts should be twenty kilometers.”

Seeing Alice's shocked expression, he laughed loudly and said, "Of course, of course, although Tokyo's road network density is far more exaggerated than that of Los Angeles, there is no way around it. After all, the country is so big, we have to Make full use of every piece of space, you can't be extravagant like the United States or China!"

Listening to Masayoshi Son's words, Alice became slightly silent on the way to the SoftBank headquarters.

It seems that the idea of ​​purchasing a land of 100,000 square meters in Ginza to build her "commercial real estate plaza" is indeed a bit unrealistic.

In other words, we still need to take our time in the end, but fortunately, there is still enough time.

Of course, the reason why the idea of ​​100,000 square meters comes from the group headquarters square located in BJCBD. Metro Line 1, on the north side of Chang'an Avenue, 300 meters east of Guomao Bridge, covers an area of ​​10 hectares, together with Guomao Building, Hewlett-Packard Building, Jingguang Center, Jianwai SOHO, etc., they form a big Modern business district.

Speaking of which, as far as Alice knows, although just after the reform and opening up, Shanghai, as a coastal city and financial center, once became the top city in China. However, as time went by, its status as a senior financial city has restricted its own development. In contrast, the economic strength of the capital is advancing by leaps and bounds, as can be seen from the ever-expanding ring road.

So, whether it is China World Trade Center, or Wangjing and Sanlitun, what if those iconic office buildings and shopping centers were all built by Alice?

Going to Japan to invest in real estate will naturally make her imagine the whole of mainland China, and the most direct goal is of course the core area of ​​the capital.

As for Hong Kong, although the housing prices are also very high, Alice is really not interested in the tiny place full of dialects. The Hong Kong farmers' recognition of her identity makes her goosebumps all over her body, so she should give it to Li Ka-shing. .

But if you are in the capital of the world's second largest economy, and you have grasped the most important office buildings in the core business circles, the sense of accomplishment will be completely different.

Well, the market value and profit margin of Internet companies are naturally not mentioned, but since there is, or will be, so much money, Alice will certainly set her sights on the industrial field. Apple held 200 billion U.S. dollars in cash at its peak, and it was just thrown in the Cayman Islands to wait for tax avoidance. If it was put in Alice's hands, how could it not be fully utilized?

Not long after, the car arrived at the destination. Under Sun Zhengyi's leadership, Alice came to his company office.

At the same time, a woman with a rather enchanting figure walked into the room. She is tall, wearing a standard OL suit, and extremely sexy.

"President, here are the materials you want."

Taking the document bag from the secretary, Sun Zhengyi said with satisfaction: "Prepare two cups of tea for Alice-san and me."

When the secretary bowed and retreated, Alice smiled and said, "What a workplace OL, does Sun Sang currently have a favorite girl?"

Sun Zhengyi shook his head modestly and said: "Not at the moment, everything is career-oriented. It is not easy for a man like me who is in debt to make girls like him."

Alice laughed: "Where is it, working hard with your beloved lover is not the traditional virtue of Japanese girls!"

Well, in fact, this seems to be two words.

Alice glanced again at the man who will be the richest man in Japan in the future. His height is basically stable at 150cm. Even in Japan, he is also a short boy.

Fortunately, he is Korean.

Well, yes, standing in front of Alice, Masayoshi Son was almost a head shorter.

After chatting for a few more words, Sun Zhengyi opened the thick file bag, which was filled with information about real estate in various parts of Tokyo.

"This one is from Ginza, Alice-san, please browse to your heart's content."

As he said that, Sun Zhengyi scanned the average quotation on the first sheet. Of course, houses in Japan are not calculated by the square meter, but the price per house. But seeing the average figure of nearly 20,000 US dollars per square meter, even though he was used to all kinds of financing data, he couldn't help grinning.

Really, according to the current market situation, ordinary people really dare not buy a house casually.
