"Hello Mr. Sun, I'm Zhang Fan. "I had already made an appointment before, and when Zhang Fan came to visit, Sun Zhengyi was already waiting for him in his office.

Son's fame is very resounding in the industry, but it is rarely known to the outside world. Even his SoftBank. SoftBank's strength is very strong, not even worse than the first-class venture capital in Europe and the United States. It's just that outside the industry, it's unbelievably low-key.

In the industry, SoftBank, a venture capital listed company from Japan, is also well-known for its reputation as a world-famous super-large enterprise such as Microsoft and Apple.

Masayoshi Son, who pioneered SoftBank, is a true genius, even better than Warren Buffett. At least Son's first pot of gold was earned by himself when he was in college. He doesn't have the family resources of Warren Buffett.

Masayoshi Son, who had a smooth ride at a young age, even had a moment when he competed with Bill Gates for the richest man in the world. But the bursting of the dot-com bubble in the late nineties cost him nine-tenths of his fortune.

Ordinary people will probably be depressed when they encounter this kind of thing, and there will be no chance to turn over. But Son did not give up and continued his investment career.

Mr. Son's investment vision is unrivaled, and when the dot-com bubble burst in the United States, more than half of the failed dot-com companies he invested in were pioneers in social networks. And just ten years later, Facebook has created the miracle of online social networking. Masayoshi Son's vision is ten years ahead of the world!

Son, who has lost most of his assets, has turned his attention from the United States to Asia, where the economy is booming, and continues his venture capital business.

Tencent, Blog, Never, Alibaba, and other outstanding Internet companies all have the shadow of Son's money investment behind them. Because of Son's remarkable vision, the number of people who want to have a meal with him far exceeds that of Warren Buffett, who is more showy.

At this time, the mythical investment god who controls the SoftBank Venture Capital Company, which has hundreds of billions of assets, is standing in front of Zhang Fan.

Son was not tall and a little thin. It looks like a slipper uncle who takes care of the commissary next door. It's just that this is not an ordinary flip-flop uncle.

"I know about you. Sun Zhengyi walked directly to Zhang Fan and looked at him, looked at Zhang Fan and nodded with a smile: "You did well in the gold futures market some time ago. ”

Zhang Fan paused for a moment, looking at the tall man in front of him, and felt very strange in his heart.

In terms of purely personal assets, the gap between Zhang Fan and Son Masayoshi is not too big. But when it comes to influence and the resources that can be used. Zhang Fan still has to use his assets to go to the bank for a mortgage to spend, but Son Zhengyi is in control of the entire SoftBank!

SoftBank owns a large number of shares in Asia's heavyweight Internet companies such as Tencent, Alibaba, and Never. Its influence and assets are not enough to say that Zhang Fan's current companies, even after he won Disney.

"I came to visit Mr. Sun today to discuss an important matter. Zhang Fan quickly recovered his emotions and directly shifted the topic to business.

"I know what you want. Son Zhengyi laughed, "Chinese people like to talk about business during meals, in fact, I am the same." Let's go eat first. ”

Zhang Fan looked at the time suspiciously, half past three in the afternoon. It doesn't look like a time to eat. It's just that now Zhang Fan is asking someone to do something, and he has no way to refuse.

Since he made up his mind to buy Disney, Zhang Fan has been working continuously for this goal for a long time. has experienced many ups and downs and twists and turns. Now that the time has come to gradually see the light of day, I will definitely not add trouble to my long-planned plans because of something at this time.

"Is this really a hotel?" Zhang Fan, who was wearing just a white bath towel all over his body, stood next to the hot spring, watching the beautiful girls in gorgeous kimonos go out with exquisite lacquerware trays. Turning his head to look at Son Zhengyi, who had already started to put the wine on the side, he really didn't know the situation.

"I can assure you that this is indeed a hotel. Sun Zhengyi stretched out his hand and motioned for Zhang Fan to sit down and prepare to eat.

It's a hot spring hotel, and it's the kind that caters to top people. If you are simply rich, you can't get in if you don't have enough status. However, in terms of Son's identity, even the imperial palace can enter.

Looking at the delicate furnishings surrounded by mist, Zhang Fan suddenly smiled and sat down directly on the hot stone steps of the game.

"Do you like it here?" Sun Zhengyi gestured to Zhang Fan with a wine glass.

"I don't have much interest in hot springs. Zhang Fan smiled and touched his glass with Sun Zhengyi, "Maybe it's because of my young age, I prefer a modern atmosphere." ”

"It's good to be young. Son sighed. He was nearly sixty years old, and looked at Zhang Fan, and couldn't help but show an envious expression in his eyes: "I look like you've just earned your first pot of gold when you're your age." But now you're a member of the billionaires' club. ”

Zhang Fan's big win in the futures market may be secret news to the outside world. But it is not unknowable news for the industry, especially the investment industry. After all, Zhang Fan won more than 10 billion yuan in a business before, even in the futures market, which has always been known for its massive capital turnover, it is also a big news. A keen investor like Mr. Son certainly wouldn't fail to investigate.

"I came here to find Mr. Sun this time to spend this money. Zhang Fan knew very well what kind of person the small uncle in front of him was, and he didn't have the idea of moving his intestines in front of him. Because in terms of capital, he is not anyone's opponent at all. It's better to just get straight to the point.

"Spend it all?" Son Zhengyi looked at Zhang Fan with a smile. As if to make fun of him.

Zhang Fan grinned and didn't speak, picked up the wine glass and took a sip. He has made a huge sum of almost $20 billion in the futures market this time, how can he spend all of it on Son Masayoshi? Of course, if SoftBank has enough Alibaba shares in its hands, Zhang Fan will not mind. But there are not so many of them.

"Ten billion dollars. Zhang Fan took a deep breath, and his eyes lit up, because this was the largest purchase he had ever made in his life, "Buying all of SoftBank's shares in Alibaba." ”

Alibaba is now worth almost $40 billion, which is the value of the company, which is not yet listed on the Nasdaq. SoftBank now owns about 15 percent of its shares. Zhang Fan's price of 10 billion US dollars is definitely a huge price. And compared to SoftBank's previous investment of $20 million, this is definitely an ROI that can make any investor crazy.

Of course, this also depends on the situation. After all, the outside world may not be clear about Alibaba's possible listing on the NASDAQ, but Son is very clear. Over the years, he doesn't know how many companies with their own investments have been listed on the NASDAQ. Naturally, I know that Alibaba's stock price will definitely rise sharply after it goes public. The only thing that isn't certain is how much it will rise. From this point of view, Zhang Fan's price of $10 billion is not so impressive.

"The price is negotiable, and I never worry too much about the price when I do business. Son Zhengyi didn't seem to care about what Zhang Fan said, and said while pouring wine for Zhang Fan, "I want to cooperate with you more than this matter." ”

"Cooperation?" Zhang Fan nodded slightly, took a sip of his wine glass, and then looked at Sun Zhengyi suspiciously, "Cooperative movie?"

"The film business is really lucrative. Son laughed, "Just look at your film company's high earnings." I was tempted to see it. It's a pity that I really don't know much about this industry, and I really can't change careers at my age. ”

Different industries are very different, and it has nothing to do with more money and less money. How rich was Wall Street when it invaded Hollywood? But in the end, Hollywood drove it all away? Because I don't know how to be professional, it is very inappropriate to rush into an industry.

"I want to invest with you. Son's expression was very serious, even with a hint of fanaticism: "You are a genius, whether in the film or otherwise. You know what? I was in the market when you invested in gold futures. And it's also bullish. ”

Zhang Fan looked at Sun Zhengyi with some surprise, he really didn't know about it.

"Maybe you think you're low-key, but that large amount of money is pouring directly into the market like a newcomer, and it's still going against the price trend. It's as catchy as the lights at night. You can't get noticed if you don't want to. Son didn't mean to be ridiculous at all. On the contrary, he looked very sincere: "I was also long at the time, but I closed the position and exited the market at the moment before the price rebounded. I've never regretted doing business because I don't think it's a point-making thing. But this time I regretted it. ”

Zhang Fan didn't speak, just looked at Sun Zhengyi quietly, wanting to see what he was going to say.

"It wasn't a big investment at the time, because at the time it didn't seem like there was much opportunity in the gold market. Son Masayoshi said self-deprecating while drinking, "When I closed the position, I was still thinking that although I was old, my self-control was still good. But when the price of gold started to rebound, I regretted it. Because you, the main force of the long side, have not given up resistance, but I, who is fishing in troubled waters, ran away first. So it's only natural that you're making a lot of money in the gold market. ”

Zhang Fan was stunned after hearing these words, he really didn't expect that he was still the main force in the gold futures market at that time?!No wonder he could make so much money this time!10
