Chapter 315: The Problem of Takafumi Horie
Japan developed quickly, almost unaffected by World War II, and in the fifties, relying on the war money of the Korean War and hard work, it developed very quickly, and gradually entered an aging society in the nineties of the last century. Bayi?? Middle?? Wen? Web ww?w?.? 8?1?z?w?. This is not important, what is important is that the older generation suppresses the creative power of the young people below.
Some young people have been working in large enterprises for more than ten years and have made many innovative things, but they have been ruined by the rigid thinking and indifference of the older generation, and they have not been promoted.
From the work that came in more than ten years ago, I still do the same work now, and in a mechanized society, there is no opportunity to exhibit, which makes young people extremely depressed.
Although the older generation in China also suppresses young people, it is far less strict than in Japanese society.
Horie Takafumi is an alternative, he dropped out of school early and opened a small workshop-like company, mainly to undertake the construction of the website, and then became bigger and bigger, began to do its own website, to 1999 to go public, 2oo2 to acquire a website called Vitality Gate, the company was also renamed Vitality Gate.
By 2oo3, Vitality Gate was one of the top three portals in Japan, and Takafumi Horie's net worth had reached tens of billions, making him one of the few digital upstarts in Japan.
Some people have long compared him to Bill Gates, because both of them dropped out of school to start a business, and if nothing else, the vitality goalkeeper will reach sales of 10 billion yen in 2oo5, which is billions of yuan.
It is an enviable achievement, and the thing that Takafumi Horie remembers most about Yu Jun is that he mentioned the issue of the Diaoyu Islands in an interview one year, and he once said: "If there is anything to fight about, just give it back to China." "
This incident caused an uproar in Japan at the time, after all, Takafumi Horie is known as the representative of a new generation of entrepreneurs in Japan, and it is really unbelievable to say such a thing from his mouth.
And he also prides himself on being the least Japanese, he got married in 1999, had a child, and divorced in 2oo1. Then his life is like that of many divorced rich people, driving his green Ferrari in and out of Japanese nightclubs every day, picking up girls everywhere, and female celebrities who have scandals with him can be lined up from the main island of Japan to Okinawa.
He has also been the focus of media attention, Luo Yuan mentioned the vitality door, and the memory in Yu Jun's mind came out.
It was not someone else who proposed to buy Vitality Gate, but Lehman Brothers, the venture capital behind Vitality Gate.
When Jinshan was listed and underwritten, he cooperated with Lehman Brothers, and the subsequent contact has not been broken, so it can be said that the securities underwriting in the United States is generally responsible for Lehman Brothers and Silver Arrow under Thunderstorm Finance.
And perhaps what makes the older generation of Japanese entrepreneurs unhappy with Takafumi Horie is that he accepted the venture capital of Lehman Brothers, which he rejected in the first place.
Japan's chaebol is not short of money, but he doesn't like the older generation of entrepreneurs and big families, and the vitality door can be displayed until now.
In fact, if history had not traveled cuò, in 2oo5 or 2oo6, Vitality Gate was investigated by the Tokyo Stock Exchange due to problems with its accounts, and finally prosecuted, and Takafumi Horie, known as the machine qì cat, was sentenced to several years in prison.
This incident was later called a conspiracy of the big chaebols, because they did not want to see a young generation of people who were disobedient, did not admit defeat, and were disobedient influencing the younger generation in Japan.
Several of his books have been very popular, and he is the target of the younger generation of Japan.
And destroying idols is something that these big families have always been happy to do.
One of the things that impressed Yu Jun very much about Takafumi Horie was his approach to finance, where he often split the stock of a listed company from 1 to 1oo shares, so that the total shares would increase by 1oo times.
And the value will also be raised to about 2o%, which is to be expected.
Think about it, a company's stock is 1oo dollars, and suddenly it becomes 1 yuan, and its total market value has not changed, but ordinary investors will definitely chase after it, because the absolute unit price of a single share has dropped.
As a result, from 1 yuan to 1.2 yuan, the market value will increase by 2o%, and with this, Horie Takafumi has acquired several companies. This is also the key to the continuous growth of the vitality door.
Vitality Gate is one of the few bright spots in Japan in the Internet era, but this bright spot will be destroyed by the big families of Mitsui.
Lehman Brothers doesn't know what kind of consideration will mention Yì Thunder Online's acquisition of Vitality Gate, which is not a matter of being able to make it easy to get along with the Tokyo Stock Exchange, although the market value of Thunder Online is now higher than that of Vitality Gate.
Let Yu Jun guess whether Lehman Brothers had an accident in advance, or Vitality Gate had an accident in advance.
These two are two bombs, and the cooperation with Lehman Brothers is due to the relationship of underwriting fees, and they cannot be too close.
Is there less domestic enterprises being pitted by such investment companies? Just like when SAIC acquired Ssangyong, as a result, I thought that I could get Ssangyong's good technology, production lines and assets, but what I gave was a landmine.
Ssangyong's union alone gave SAIC a headache, and after buying it for a few years, it was sold to another company.
And this expenditure alone has made SAIC hemorrhage.
Although Xiling is rich, it can't let people pit, and it is only when Yu Junkeng is a person.
Xi Lei collected the information from Luo Yuan in the room, there were too many materials, and there were dozens of trillions packed in the mailbox, although the mailbox of Thunder Online had long been upgraded to unlimited capacity, but when it was printed, there were hundreds of pages.
Yu Jun was talking to Wang Bing outside: "How are you getting along with the rich people in Britain?" "
"The British are more xenophobic, and they are more self-righteous, and the glory of the empire on which the sun never sets, shines on us," Wang Bing imitated the appearance of a certain aristocratic old man who liked to recite long poems at parties, his hands stretched out in the direction of the sun, and his face turned away, "Queen Victoria, our benefactor." "
Yu Jun said with a smile: "The era of the sun never sets has long passed, and the younger generation of Britain has long seen through the weakness of the country and knows that they can only live on people's noses. "
"GDP per capita is still very impressive," Wang Bing said, "but without strong military strength, it is useless, compared to China, the United States and Russia, Britain is really nothing, and in the nuclear age, their strategic depth is too small, a few nuclear bombs can solve it." "
Yu Jun patted the armrest and said: "The nuclear bomb is light and cannot be used, even the craziest leader does not dare to mess with the world." The old British aristocracy is a little rotten, they all live on funds, hundreds of people go bankrupt every year, and now the British title is not worth much, except for some old hereditary earls or something, I have received an invitation from the British Queen's office, wanting to give me a knighthood, I didn't promise him, what bullshit. "
Wang Bing smiled: "It's very simple to get an ordinary title, you only need to invest more than 100 million dollars in the UK, and you can basically get it, but it is very difficult to get a hereditary viscount or above." It depends on whether your ancestors have English ancestry, and then it depends on whether such titles can be vacated every year. "
"If you say that, doesn't Qin Xue have a chance?" Yu Jun touched his chin and smiled, "If we Qin Xue can get a duke back, it will be interesting." "
Duchess Qin Xue? It's interesting enough to think about this title.
Wang Bing said with a smile: "I'll let people check it, if it really has anything to do with it, Qin Xue will become a nobleman all of a sudden." "
"It's not rare, you can check it, but I don't think it's rare." Yu Jun laughed.
Thinking about whether I should give Qin Xue a call? Let's wait until we can really determine what kind of title she has before calling her.
Xi Lei walked out with a large pile of materials, and after putting it on the table next to Yu Jun, she straightened up and beat her ***.
"It's all the information of Takafumi Horie and Vitality Gate? You haven't done anything, and your waist can't work? Wang Bing looked at her chest and smiled.
"Don't look at my secretary like that, go ride your horse, I need to look at the information." Yu Jun said and picked up the top pages.
"I'll just sit here and have some drinks, your horse is too good for me to ride, and my ass still hurts." Wang Bing smiled bitterly, "I have to rest for a while." "
"Whatever you want."
Yu Jun quietly flipped through the information, which contained all the acquisition activities and business activities of Vitality Gate from the beginning of its establishment to the present, including the background of senior executives, the background of directors and other aspects.
Some were provided by Lehman Brothers, some were learned from listed companies, and some were provided by the Commercial Investigation Department.
There are many sources, and it takes a very high level to sort out the context and find useful content.
These are all sorted out by Luo Yuan, if the original one is thousands of pages, even if Yu Jun only picks the key points at a glance, he won't be able to finish it in less than a month.
Until the sun set, Yu Jun was still watching, only eating a sandwich at noon, Wang Bing knew that when he was doing things, he didn't like to be disturbed, he sat on the side, just listening to songs with mp3, wearing earplugs, and winking at Xilei from time to time.
When it got dark, Yu Jun was still looking at these materials, but he changed them to the study.
This horse farm originally had a small villa with more than ten rooms, Yu Junxin's villa is still under construction, and he now lives in the old villa.
When it was 1o o'clock in the evening, Yu Jun had a problem in a very inconspicuous place.
"There's something wrong with Horie Takafumi, Lehman Brothers must know that they want to get rid of this burden and give this mine to Thunder," Yu Jun propped his temples and looked at Xilei, who was sitting on the side dozing, and said, "You help me contact Luo Yuan, we can't take this mine, find a way to give it to Mitsui Jian." "
