In an interview with the Japanese media, he said without self-deprecation: "...... Two years ago, the media criticized me for 'investing in a pair of mysterious eyes', thinking that I was about to have an unprecedented white color, and it turned out that I was right and they were wrong! I used to be complacent about it, but after the collapse of the NASDAQ, I must admit that I was wrong too! Now, SoftBank Group is suffering an unprecedented blow, and the stock price has plummeted so much that the company's employees are immersed in despair, looking at the stock market panel every day, praying for hope! โ
Where is the hope? Son Masayoshi told reporters: "In Song Chen's eyes! โ
Of course, Son's words are a bit exaggerated, but it seems that in order to make a footnote to this sentence, the specifications for Song Chen and his party to pick up the plane are very high, and SoftBank Group completely abandoned the insistence of investors, and Son Masayoshi also gave up the posture of the so-called "Song Chen's benefactor" and took the initiative to pick up the plane with several executives and his assistants.

The empty airport is already full of two or three hundred reporters from all over the world, involving a variety of categories, and there will be no shortage of reporters who are entertaining and gossiping. What they hope most is to get the exclusive interview right of Song Chen's lace smell, but unfortunately none of them can get this qualification at present, even if it is Ashley? Fanning's "Science and Technology Figures" and Song Chen's lace smell are rarely seen in the newspapers.
Except for those paparazzi who persevere, tracking can't be can't!
"Song Jun, welcome to Japan again!" Seeing Song Chen again, Son Zhengyi's mood was complicated.
He used to be "sharp-eyed" and "promote the backwards", and the SoftBank Group was under his leadership. The stock price peaked above 6oo and rose to $618, and its shares in listed Internet companies accounted for 9% of the market value of the global stock market. He is worth more than Bill Gates to become the "richest man in the world...... This has made him the world's brightest entrepreneur, and the media has praised him as the "godfather of the network", a glory that will be ...... before April this year There is no doubt about it.
After the Nasdaq tech crash, Son hasn't heard such praise for a long time, and instead, SoftBank Group's stock price is falling with an irresistible flood force...... He didn't know how to resist the power of despair.
In a time of great frustration. Son thought of the meaningful smile he had when he invited Song Chen to join the board of directors of SoftBank Group, and then thought of Song Chen's continuous sale of shares of listed companies at the end of last year to replenish his cash flow......
It wasn't until more than three months ago that Sun Zhengyi understood: Song Chen had long seen the flowers on the surface of the NASDAQ in the United States, and had been planning for it, but he was intoxicated with honor and extricated himself, and did not see the unfathomable trap behind the flowers...... The reason why the SoftBank Group has fallen into today's dilemma is that Son Masayoshi and the top management of the SoftBank Group have an unshirkable responsibility.
See this balding but sharp-eyed middle-aged man again. Song Chen did not relax a little because the other party was lonely for a while! On the contrary, the Nasdaq crisis has prompted this man to become more pragmatic and vigilant, and although SoftBank Group's investment business is shrinking sharply, Son clearly does not want to give up his dream of a "connected empire".
With a faint smile. Shaking hands with the senior management of SoftBank Group one by one, Song Chen replied very calmly: "Thank you!" I'm sure I'll have a great time in Japan in the future! โ
"Mr. Song, I heard that you are interested in joining the board of directors of SoftBank Group?"
Song Chen raised his hands and smiled and replied in English, "I can't tell you this question for the time being!" โ
"Mr. Song, does China Chenxing Holdings intend to buy back shares from SoftBank Group?"
Song Chen raised his hand again: "For the time being, you can advise!" โ
"Mr. Song, Miss Hayakawa is the daughter-in-law of the Abe family. But there are rumors that she is in an ambiguous relationship with you, and the two of them are living together. Is this rumor true? โ
Kaori Hayakawa's face changed slightly, even Sun Zhengyi beside him couldn't help frowning slightly, but Song Chen, who had accumulated enough experience, smiled very heartily: "Gentlemen, as long as any woman with a slight appearance appears within ten yards of me, a similar lace smell will appear on the other side of the Pacific Ocean the next day!" Trust me, I'm used to these peachy gossip! โ
Looking sideways at Kaori Hayakawa, whose face was somewhat uneasy, Song Chen blinked ambiguously: "However, after our Miss Hayakawa has experienced these scandals, it seems that she is still not used to such problems!" โ
"Huh!"
Everyone smiled heartily, and they knew that the topic could be stopped, so someone asked: "Mr. Song, I heard that you have prepared a large amount of funds to invest in potential enterprises in China and South Korea, I wonder if you have similar plans in Japan?" โ
"I'm thinking about it!" Song Chen replied very seriously, "There are many projects worth investing in Japan, but I am worried that these private investments will bring unnecessary interpretation and confusion, so I will choose carefully!" โ
"Mr. Song, I heard that there are many mistresses of the Red Family around you......"
Before the reporter from Japan finished speaking, Song Chen directly interrupted the other party: "This involves my **, I will not accept anyone's questions and answers about my private life!" โ
"Mr. Song,......"
In the face of flashing magnesium lights and tricky questions, at this moment, Song Chen missed Chinese reporters who were "constrained from above" and rarely involved in their private lives, facing dozens of microphones, Song Chen smiled and said: "I know that journalist friends have a lot of questions, but I think it is a little too hasty to open a briefing at the airport, and I and SoftBank Group are not ready!" I would like to say that this 'marriage' that originated 3o months ago will be consolidated in the coming time, and I come with goodwill, friendship and gratitude, and I believe that Chenxing Group and SoftBank Group will work together to overcome this once-in-a-decade economic crisis! โ
"Mr. Sun, can you also say something!"
Looking at the high-spirited boy beside him, Son took a deep breath. smiled into the microphone: "I am sure that the cooperation with Chenxing Group." It can usher in a brilliant turning point for SoftBank Group! We'll let you know when there's more! โ
Subsequently, Song Chen, Son Masayoshi and his entourage, under the arrangement of the security department of the SoftBank Group, squeezed out the crowd and got into the car that greeted them and drove towards downtown Tokyo.
Looking sideways at the young Song Chen, Son Zhengyi smiled and teased in English: "Although this meeting has been delayed for more than a month, it looks like you are ready?" Tell me Song Jun, what are you thinking? โ
"What I want is exactly what SoftBank Group is happy to see!"
Son asked with interest, "Do you know what we want?" โ
"SoftBank Group has a large number of bad assets in its hands that need to be divested and cashed out......" Song Chen turned his head with a faint expression. smiled and said, "For example, some investments involving portals, I can instruct Chenxingluo to acquire this part of the assets to provide a boost for SoftBank Group!" โ
"Haha!" Son laughed out loud, shaking his head and sighing, "You really have other plans!" For today. You've endured it for two years, you're such a genius, Song Jun! โ
Song Chen laughed at himself: "It's just a fluke, I just think that the madness of the NASDAQ at that time has too many similarities with the financial crisis born in the United States in the 3O years, once the bubble is burst, disaster is inevitable." It's just that I'm not sure if I'm going to give birth or not, so I can only actively prepare! โ
"As a friend who is optimistic about you, it's really sad that you didn't have a word of reminder to me, Song Jun!" Son's narrow eyes were full of a hint of meaning.
Song Chen said disapprehantly: "You appeared in Forbes magazine back then, Yue Bill? Gates became the global FTSE. I don't think this decision based entirely on intuition can affect the SoftBank Group, which is in full swing! After making the decision of 'cash is king', I suffered psychological pressure for half a year because of it! Because at that time, China Chenxing was under the pressure of 6o billion yuan to repay the loan! โ
Although the explanation did not satisfy Son Masayoshi though. But he knew that he had no reason to accuse the other party at all, and Song Chen had no obligation to remind him of the terrible impact of this disaster on SoftBank Group!
If you accuse with favors, it is a bit reasonable; If he is responsible for kindness, it is difficult to get rid of the suspicion of carrying Entu, and Son Zhengyi disdains it.
"After investing in Yahoo, SoftBank Group has paid less attention to the portal business!" Son muttered, "But there are a few good startups in Europe, and I think Chenxingluo will be interested!" โ
Song Chen nodded, and said: "Our Alibaba e-commerce CEO Wu Jiong Wu is very interested in the French Compass company, and SoftBank Group is the majority shareholder of Compass, I hope that Mr. Sun can match this merger!" โ
Son asked with a smile: "Just like you asked Sequoia Capital to broker 8848 to annex Zappos?" โ
"Exactly!" Song Chen smiled, revealing his white and neat teeth.
"You are the most cunning and intelligent Chinese I have ever met! I am not interested in selling Kompass Ventures, but Alibaba e-commerce is also a key asset for me, and I need to communicate with the company before I choose to reply to you! โ
"No problem!"
"Although SoftBank Group is having a hard time, we are not yet at the point of lack of money! And ......" turned his head, and Son looked at Song Chen with a smile, "We don't want cash, we want stocks!" โ
Song Chen shrugged: "SoftBank Group already holds a 2o% stake in Alibaba E-Commerce Co., Ltd., but despite this, you can consider using cash and equity swap to promote the transaction!" โ
Son said lightly: "Since I invested in Chenxingluo, Baidu and Alibaba, SoftBank Group seems to have missed too much focus on wealth!" China Chenxing Group has high-quality assets that I ignored at the beginning, and Ctrip Travel is one; The rejected ones are Alipay and Paypa1! There is also the mysterious Chenxing Technology ......"
Speaking of this, Son changed the topic: "After experiencing the setback of the technology stock crash, I re-studied your investment project, you were the first to acquire a Taiwanese start-up, which developed "King of Kings" and officially launched it last year, but the agency was handed over to Chenxing Entertainment...... Last year, it invested in South Korea's EBZEN and Emade, and also handed over the agency to Chenxing Entertainment...... You have separated the research and agency into two companies, and you seem to have a lot of experience around the network game! โ
Knowing that Son Masayoshi suddenly turned the topic to Chenxing Games and Chenxing Entertainment, two independent research and agency companies, Song Chen's heart tightened. On the surface, he said quietly: "The Chinese population is large and has broad prospects. Coupled with the government's policy of banning home game consoles, I think the online gaming industry will benefit from this! Be patient though, because I estimate it will take at least three or five years to explode! โ
Song Chen did not fool Son Masayoshi, although the vigorous exhibition of China's online game industry depends on the wide dissemination of "Legend of Blood", so as to attract several Chinese consumers, but it will take several years for the real explosion of growth, and the market has entered the era of hundreds of schools of thought competing for hegemony!
Son Zhengyi smiled: "I can see that there is still a lot of room for growth in China's people and actual population!" In a way. Your Chenxing Group shoulders the heavy responsibility of opening the market! So, is Chenxing Entertainment willing to accept SoftBank Group's investment? โ
"The group is not short of money for the time being!" Song Chen shook his head and just said meaningfully, "It's just that I need time, and I still need to reach a consensus with SoftBank Group on one thing!" I think Mr. Sun must have understood my real intentions in coming to Japan. โ
"Chenxingluo." Son said lightly.
Song Chen said calmly: "I want to get back the controlling stake!" โ
Son Masayoshi said in a deep voice: "Song Jun, I admire your vision and almost prophetic sharp intuition. But I don't like someone who likes to do everything! โ
"If you were in my place, I believe you would make the same choice, because we are businessmen, and it is our talent to seek advantages and avoid disadvantages!" Song Chen was-for-tat.
Son still shook his head: "SoftBank Group has not yet reached the point of exhaustion, we don't need to make difficult choices!" โ
"It is the common expectation of Chenxing Group and SoftBank Group to make Chenxing Network profitable, and I know how to make Chenxing Network achieve this goal. But I need to take back the initiative! You know this very well! โ
Son Masayoshi frowned unhappily, and said slowly with a deep groan: "The dual-class share structure in the United States can ensure the control of Chenxing Group over Chenxingluo, I don't understand, why do you pursue a large proportion of shareholding?" โ
"It's simple, because I'm Chinese! to their own 'children'. It's hard to say sell and sell like we do in Silicon Valley! From this point of view, I am still a very conservative Chinese! โ
After Son listened. pondered and didn't speak, until Song Chen and his party were sent to the Peninsula Hotel where they stayed in Tokyo last time, and before parting, Son Masayoshi said: "This matter can be discussed, but as I just said, SoftBank Group is not Yahoo, although we are difficult, we are not short-sighted!" I hope you are aware of this and show enough sincerity! โ
It was not easy to fool Masayoshi Son, and Song Chen didn't expect to take too much advantage from SoftBank Group, so he nodded quietly.
"Without your generosity, I would not have had the opportunity to realize my plan quickly, and this trip to Japan, in addition to funds, I also brought my sincerity and gratitude!"
Son Masayoshi finally smiled with satisfaction: "For the specific meeting schedule, I will ask my assistant to negotiate with your secretary to arrange it, so be it today!" I won't disturb your rest! โ
โฆโฆ
Of course, Kaori Hayakawa would not follow Song Chen into the hotel, and when the car stopped in front of the Peninsula Hotel, she sat down where Song Chen was sitting just now.
"In view of the fact that you are almost separated after marriage, your father-in-law, Abe Shukazu, asked me to transfer you back to Japan, Kaori, do you have any ideas?"
Kaori Hayakawa didn't seem surprised, she said with a smile, "Oh, it looks like Ryuji Abe is ready to take his heart?" โ
Of course, Masayoshi Son, the underwriter of Ryuji Abe, knew that his heart was not inferior to Song Chen, and Son Masayoshi knew that this person not only kept a few mistresses outside, but even openly brought these women back to his married home with Kaori Hayakawa, which can be described as fearful!
Even so, Fujikura Kasei's influence cannot be underestimated, and Son Masayoshi naturally can't ignore Abe Hidekazu's request! He rubbed his forehead and said, "I don't want to care about the affairs between your husband and wife, but your father-in-law's request is reasonable, so I want to know your wishes!" If you wish, I can transfer you back to the headquarters as a capital risk control department! โ
Kaori Hayakawa raised her eyebrows and said, "Manager Tajima? โ
Son Masayoshi sighed: "I need a scapegoat, I can only wronged Tajima Chengying!" โ
Kaori Hayakawa pursed her lips and said with a smile: "Now that the international capital market has collapsed like this, I don't dare to take office in a hurry at this juncture!" When I return to Tokyo, let me consider replying to you! โ
The other party's refusal Sun Zhengyi seemed to know in his heart, he nodded, and after a moment of silence, he asked about another thing: "By the way, I heard that Song Chen once took you to the United States to visit Chenxing Technology!" In another month, Chenxing Technology is going to hold a Wenbu meeting, I only know that this company is secretly opening a digital player, and you Sharp is also a parts supplier, what do you think of this product? โ
Kaori Hayakawa smiled: "It's amazing! It's a pity that although he trusts me, he still has some reservations, and he is reluctant to give me the prototype, probably because he is worried that Sharp will launch a similar product-for-tat! โ
"I didn't expect that the original investment would cultivate the monster of Chenxing Group and Song Chen!" Son laughed at himself, "It seems that every asset under the Chenxing Group is full of fatal temptation, but unfortunately the SoftBank Group is now mired in the mud and its vitality is greatly damaged!" Unless the market recovers in the short term, I can no longer control the direction of SoftBank Group as easily as before! โ
Kaori Hayakawa can understand the anxiety and anxiety in the heart of Masayoshi Son, who is calm on the surface! To put it mildly, Son now desperately needs to borrow Song Chen's vision and vision for the industry to regain the direction in which the SoftBank Group has suddenly become confused. To be continued.
