Chapter 042: Pachinko
After lunch, Masayoshi Kishimoto habitually took a nap and went out without hurrying. He went straight to Sensoji Temple. The person I want to meet is none other than the branch president of Pachinko Taito.
Last time, the pachinko shop that Masayoshi Kishimoto took over from his cheap dad was a buyer for the other party. His original idea was to cut clean with this line, but he didn't expect that people were not as good as heaven.
Of course, I can't call one by one like Miyazaki Tatsui. He had no intention of recruiting any more people to form a phone team, and he was calling every day, as if he were a phone scam.
Similarly, I have no plans to recruit more people to disperse to bank outlets, CBD, high-end residential areas, high-end shopping malls and other stalls, as well as distribute relevant advertising leaflets.
Cats have cat paths, rats have rat paths, and Kishimoto Yoshimoto's path or breakthrough is in the pachinko industry. He is very familiar with the industry.
A small ball can cost as little as 3-5 yen. At the price of 5 yen each, 10,000 yen is 2,000 small steel balls. At first glance, 2000 is a big number, but in reality, it doesn't last long.
Masayoshi Kishimoto knew that there were hundreds of pachinko game consoles in the branch president's place, which was not large, but only a mid-range scale.
Under the influence of the current Asian financial crisis, the business in the pachinko shop is surprisingly good. Morning, noon, and evening are divided into three shifts, and there are thousands of people in a day, and the per capita consumption is 10,000 yen, and the daily flow can easily exceed 10 million yen.
Over the course of a month, there was no pressure at all with a turnover of more than 300 million yen. Of course, after subtracting the winnings, electricity, taxes, salaries, etc., you can still leave a lot of money.
The return on the deposit of this money in the bank is completely non-existent. In addition to security, there is also the convenience of business such as transfers.
The current interest rate for commercial banks is zero. Therefore, Kishimoto expected that his former colleagues would not deposit in the bank.
What's more, pachinko and his industry don't like to keep cash in the bank, but habitually put it in their own safes.
As for the financial wealth management products of commercial banks, not to mention that they are generally unable to make returns under the Asian financial turmoil, they will lose money, even in normal years, and the annual income will often not exceed 10%.
The 10% annual income is not very attractive to the people who run the pachinko shop. If he could, Kishimoto would not only be able to raise money from the branch president, but also from others.
Not to mention the entire RB, it is the daily turnover of pachinko shops in the Tokyo metropolitan area, which is a huge astronomical amount.
Kishimoto's goal is very clear, that is, to absorb this money into his own company to operate, so as to borrow chickens to lay eggs and borrow bones to boil oil.
Even if he doesn't invest this money in the Internet economy, he can still make excess profits from shorting the yen. After all, you are shorting the yen with ten times leverage.
The yen will fall to its lowest level in May and June, close to 150 yen per dollar, a depreciation of about 30%. Next, he also used the funds in his hand to short the ruble by drawing a scoop on the gourd, after all, it will depreciate by 70%.
At the same time, Kishimoto can also perform another reverse operation, long the dollar with 10 times leverage. He is completely able to make a lot of money by chasing up and down.
Masayoshi Kishimoto walked into the office of the branch president, and when he saw the other party's face, he smiled and said, "Long time no see." ”
"It's been a while. What are you up to?" the branch president recalled, as they last saw each other a few months ago.
"Recently, I started a venture capital firm. This is my new business card, and I came here to give it to you. ”
Masayoshi Kishimoto took out his business card box, took out one from it, and sent it to the other party in the form of both hands.
The branch president took his hand and glanced at it, and said with a smile: "Hard capital is still the president." It's bigger than me. ”
"You're really going to make fun of juniors. "Masayoshi Kishimoto is definitely not just to give each other a business card. He is rushing to make a financing channel from the other party's hands.
"You're too careful. As your elders, I still hope that all of you juniors will have a future, and the youth is better than the blue. "The branch president is really not saying polite words.
"I'm here this time not only to give you a business card, but also to introduce you to a good investment project. If you're busy right now, I'll make an appointment with you next time. ”
Kishimoto Masayoshi knows that the other party is also an old Jianghu, so there is no need to be clever in front of him. If you use a straightforward strategy, you will win the other party's impression that he is really good.
"Busy, but not busy. If you told me a few months ago what it's called, a game that you can play on a computer, or that kind of connection or something, forget it.
The old man really doesn't understand the new gadgets of you young people. "The branch president is also a cheerful person, and while not refusing a mouthful, he is straightforward.
"No, it's definitely not about investing in an online game company. I know you, not only you, but the whole pachinko industry is most annoyed by the fact that the business is too good, the money is too much, and you don't know how to spend it.
The way I mean spending here is to make money and become richer. If you want to expand your business and add pachinko game consoles, it is not a good idea.
Everyone knows very well in their hearts that the impact of the Asian financial crisis is only temporary. It will pass. When the economy improves, business will certainly not be as full as it is now.
If there weren't so many people playing the pachinko console, the money would have been wasted. "Kishimoto hit the nail on the head.
The branch president didn't feel surprised to see that he was talking to his heart, after all, the other party used to be the same person who did their job.
The thing he's been worrying about all along, that's what Kishimoto said. I was in a dilemma, and I weighed and weighed, but I still couldn't make up my mind to expand my business. However, there is too much money, and letting them lie down and sleep is not something that smart people should do.
"The venture capital firm I founded is a legitimate company, definitely not a loan shark, and it doesn't break the rules or your reputation. ”
The reason why Kishimoto says this is that each line has its own rules. RB people are relatively well-behaved people.
Whoever breaks the established rules of the game will be punished accordingly by being untrustworthy from many quarters and will no longer cooperate with them. This business can't go on any longer.
