Chapter 268, Traffic Layout and the First Core Area

According to Son, according to Alice's understanding, his experience in the past few years can be summed up in one sentence, that is, the sunshine is always after the wind and rain. Pen, fun, and www.biquge.info

Software Bank was founded in 1981, when Masayoshi Son was 24 years old, and he was a passionate young man full of dreams for the future. Within six months of the company's founding, he had dealings with 42 specialty stores and 94 software practitioners in Japan, and persuaded Toshiba and Fujitsu to invest in expanding the company.

In other words, he is seeking financing from other large companies in order to grow his venture capital firm.

But as a result, he lost money due to poor management, and only a year later, he had to return the original investment funds of the consortium.

But fortunately, it is precisely because Son Masayoshi shouldered the responsibility of the loss, and his character and talent are excellent, although he was defeated, he won the admiration of his predecessors, and the software bank has since become famous, laying a very solid credit foundation for his career.

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

As a venture capital firm, it is important to fully understand the financial operations of each company. Still in '82, he conducted market research in the name of the company, spent a year and a half, carried out a series of market research on 40 industries, visited all kinds of people, read many books and materials, and compiled ten years of estimated profit and loss statements, balance sheets, capital turnover statements, and various organizational charts, and compared the results with the checklist to determine whether these are suitable for the career of his life.

After all, venture capitalists are firmly tied to the company after investing in a company with large funds. Either you lose all your money, or you get rich overnight, how can you not let people fully investigate?

It was still in 1982, when Son saw Hewlett-Packard's magazine "Personal Computer Library" at an exhibition, so he contacted Japan's largest publisher to publish it, and made a name for himself for publishing "Personal Computer Library", which made SoftBank famous.

But it was still in the same year, and the business was thriving, but it once again encountered unexpected problems. Several major magazines refused to advertise for SoftBank, and the two magazines he created in May failed miserably two months later, with an 85 percent return rate and mountains of magazines cut into scraps.

And then there's the current issue called "TAG". In the past, Son was holding a debt of more than one billion yen in hand, and if he could not offset this money with new investment, it would be a long way to repay the loan with normal turnover alone.

"More than 1000 million yen...... That's 50 million or 60 million dollars. ”

After listening to Son Masayoshi's report, Alice waved her little hand and said easily: "It's a trivial matter, I have a business in Japan, as long as you treat the consultant well, these tens of millions are not a piece of cake?"

Regarding the promise given by Alice, Son only smiled and did not say anything about it.

You know, he is a person who is engaged in the venture capital industry, and I don't know how much he has heard empty words and promises. The saying that if you do it yourself, you will be able to make a fortune in the future has already made people's ears grind out of cocoons. Since Alice was happy to return to her own investments, Son was naturally happy not to talk about his bad things, but to be relieved about the business at hand.

Tokyo is very small, with a total administrative area of only 2,000 square kilometers, which is one-third of Shanghai's, and the entire metropolitan area is about the same as Tianjin. But Tokyo is also very large, with countless cobweb-like dense streets, which are not only very wide but also countless buildings divided into standard blocks with an average area of less than one hectare. Any out-of-towner who first arrives in Tokyo will inevitably get lost in this labyrinthine city.

Yes, Alice's first impression of the traffic situation in the whole city is that it is far less than the width of the road in Los Angeles and Chicago. Although the width of the main road can still reach six rows in both directions, the width of the street is also locked because the vast majority of Japanese people drive domestic cars, and the width of domestic cars has always been narrow.

This is still the main road, and when Son's Mercedes Benz pulls into a more ordinary street, Alice suddenly feels a tingling sensation in her scalp.

The road is uphill, and the streets are lined with small and delicate buildings, and there are many people on the sidewalks. These are normal, but the road in front of you really brought a shock like a phobia of confinement to Alice, who is used to walking on the fourteen-row highway in both directions in Los Angeles!

I saw that a thin and narrow two-way two-row lane, which was far narrower than the international standard, spread from under my feet to the hillside. Dozens of domestically produced cars stretch from your feet to the hillside like subway passengers queuing up for tickets during rush hour!

However, every car is at a constant speed, no one brakes or accelerates, and dozens or hundreds of drivers, like countless marching ants controlled by a bug queen, work together in tacit and unity to promote a harmonious and efficient Tokyo traffic scene.

"Tsk, Sun Sang, I would like to ask you a question. ”

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

Son pondered for a moment and replied, "I have really looked at the relevant data, and the total length of roads in Tokyo is about 24,000 kilometers, of which the length of the ward is probably more than 10,000 kilometers." As for the density of the road network you asked, the average for Tokyo should be 10 kilometers per square kilometer, and the 23 wards should be 20 kilometers. ”

Seeing Alice's shocked expression, he laughed and said, "Of course, of course, although the density of Tokyo's road network is far more exaggerated than that of Los Angeles, this is also something that cannot be helped. After all, the size of the country is so large, we must make full use of every space, and we can't be extravagant and wasteful like the United States or China!"

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

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

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

Of course, the reason why I came up with the idea of 100,000 square meters came from the group headquarters square in Beijing's CBD. Metro Line 1, on the north side of Chang'an Avenue, 300 meters east of Guomao Bridge, covers an area of 10 hectares, and Guomao Building, HP Building, Jingguang Center, Jianwai SOHO, etc., they together form a large 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 goes by, its status as a senior financial city has limited its own development. In contrast, the capital's economic strength is growing by leaps and bounds, just by looking at the ever-expanding ring road.

So, whether it is Guomao, Wangjing and Sanlitun, what if those iconic office buildings and shopping malls were built by her Alice?

Investing in real estate in Japan will naturally make her can't help but imagine the entire Chinese mainland, and the most direct target 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 land full of dialects, and the Hong Kong farmers' recognition of her identity makes her goosebumps all over her body, so it is better to give it to Li Ka-shing.

However, if you grasp the most important office buildings in the world's second largest economy in the capital of the world's second largest business circle, the sense of accomplishment is completely different.

Well, the market value and profit margin of Internet companies are naturally not said, but since there is, or there will be so much money, Alice will of course also set her sights on the industrial field. Apple was at its peak with $200 billion in cash, just throwing it in the Cayman Islands and waiting for tax avoidance, if this is put in Alice's hands, how can it not be fully utilized?

A short time later, the car arrived at its destination, and Alice, led by Son, made it to his company office.

At the same time, a rather voluptuous woman walked into the house. She is tall, wears a standard OL suit, and is extremely ********.

"President, this is the material you want. ”

Taking the document bag from the secretary's hand, Son said with satisfaction: "Prepare two cups of tea for me and Alice-san." ”

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

Son Zhengyi shook his head very modestly and said: "Not at present, everything is career-oriented, it is not easy for a man like me who is in debt to make a girl look good." ”

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

Well, in fact, this seems to have to be said in two ways.

Alice glanced at the man who would be the richest man in Japan in the future, basically stable at 150cm tall, even in Japan, it belongs to the category of dwarf.

It's also a loss that he's a North Korean.

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

After a few more small talks, Son opened a thick file bag filled with real estate information about various parts of Tokyo.

"This one is from Ginza, Alice-Sand, please browse as much as you like. ”

With that, Son swept over the average offer on the first one. Of course, Japanese houses are actually not calculated in square meters, but one house at one price. But seeing that the figure was evenly shared, nearly 20,000 US dollars per square meter, Rao was used to seeing all kinds of financing data, and he couldn't help grinning.

Really, according to the current market, ordinary people really don't dare to buy a house casually. (To be continued.) )
