Chapter 516 How about investing in SoftBank Group?

Yang Yun was almost stunned when he saw that SoftBank's latest business record was to control Yahoo, could it be that SoftBank had already obtained the majority of Yahoo's shares?

A quick look at it, some of the records after the information have a more detailed summary of the tips, SoftBank and the United States Yahoo many times of negotiation time and negotiation content, how much to contribute, the number of shares, these easily unknown information are written in this file, 100 million US dollars investment, access to Yahoo 33% of the shares, SoftBank became Yahoo's largest shareholder, and is expected to introduce Yahoo to Japan.

Yang Yun knows very well in his heart that in the future, SoftBank is definitely a super behemoth, with tens of billions of dollars in total assets, and its industries are all over the world.

In the era when Taobao was popular, Yang Yun also read a report on Softbank's Ali Yahoo Three Kingdoms Hegemony, Son Zhengyi's business philosophy is to hold those high-tech companies that he is optimistic about for a long time, and his vision is extremely high, extremely vicious, he will be SoftBank's future development plan for 300 years, this is not a joke, he is very serious, the most terrible thing in the world is a serious person!

The more Yang Yun looked, the more dignified he became, his thinking turned rapidly, and now that he has entered the Internet industry, Longteng Company will inevitably deal with those well-known companies.

However, he does not make any investment in YouTube, Facebook and other sites in advance, he just wants to concentrate on making games, and those game-related software service providers and websites can be involved. But it will definitely not cast a wide net and buy it all, because of venture capital and website operation. He wasn't professional at all.

Since this is the case, Yang Yun quickly made a decision. He looked at Wang Zhe, Zhongshan Hayabusa, and Yang Zhan and said, "You all know that I have a comprehensive plan for Square Enix, and I am bound to win Final Fantasy, and no one can stop me." However, this SoftBank Group is also a very tricky competitor, I wonder if there is any way for you to make it suffer a big loss? ”

A big loss? Thinking of Yang Yun's consistent style, Hayakuo Nakayama was a little strange: "You want to deliberately give up Square Enix's purchase right in this competition and let SoftBank Group buy it." And then let them incur huge losses in competition with our game? ”

Yang Yun shook his head: "It's not that simple, I want more." ”

Then he changed from Japanese to Chinese and said quickly: "I want to know, if you use the same means as you did when you bought Sega, and buy shares of SoftBank Group at all costs, can you do it?" ”

"What?!" Yang Zhan was frightened, he looked at Wang Zhe in surprise, and saw the same surprise in the other party's eyes.

Wang Zhe was also shocked inexplicably, and Yang Yun's words were in Chinese. The main reason is that it is inconvenient to say it to Hayao Nakayama in Japanese, and when Long Teng secretly acquired Sega, he did use a lot of black methods and secret tricks, and it was a little embarrassing to say it in front of everyone.

However, there is a meaning in Yang Yun's words. He raised the SoftBank Group to the same level as Sega Corporation, and the wording at all costs reflects the seriousness of the matter, and he values SoftBank very much!

Hayao Nakayama didn't understand what they were talking about. How to change to Chinese dialogue all at once, and everyone suddenly changed their faces. It's all a look of horror when you see a ghost, obviously. Some words were not suitable for him to hear.

"Mr. Yang, if it's inconvenient, I think I'd better leave first, right?" Hayao Nakayama asked tentatively.

"No, I just said a Chinese remark, just to emphasize the importance I attach to SoftBank."

Yang Yun changed his tone and said in Japanese: "I am very optimistic about the prospects of SoftBank Group, so I want to control it." But I'm not the kind of brutal person who says I'm going to buy your company in front of Son, and I can't do that kind of thing. The best thing I can think of is to beat them half to death first, let them see what we're capable of, and then pull them together. ”

Holding SoftBank?

Several people felt inexplicable, they knew that Yang Yun had never been very keen on venture capital, and Yang Yun did not make any statement about the relationship between Blackstone Group and Blackstone, at most, he cooperated with Blackstone Group on an equal footing, rather than entering the venture capital industry after controlling Blackstone.

Now that SoftBank Group has only been listed for two years, Yang Yun did not find a relationship to buy the original shares back then, but only remembered the acquisition when he hit the front, and the contrast in this attitude is too great.

"Mr. Yang, are you really ready to enter the venture capital industry?" Yang Zhan asked.

Hayao Nakayama also kindly reminded: "There are many venture capital groups that are worth buying, and Longteng can even set up a venture capital department on its own, so why do you have to buy SoftBank?" Their business financial reports are not very pretty, and there are few successful acquisitions, most of them are concentrated in the Japanese communication hardware industry, which has little to do with our main game business! ”

After SoftBank's acquisition of Yahoo, there were rumors that Son's next target was Nippon Telecom, a company that controls 20% of Japan's fixed-line communications infrastructure market share.

Maybe Longteng Holdings SoftBank Group is just the best opportunity to introduce the domestic Huawei company into Japan and enter the top international communication infrastructure industry, bypassing the blockade of large international communication companies in Europe and the United States, and taking advantage of the way to promote Huawei to the world's first-class hardware equipment supplier, but I don't know if Yang Yun thinks so!

Blackstone Group, SoftBank Group, Japan's hardware communication industry, after a few words, Wang Zhe reacted the fastest, cracked his mouth and laughed, he knew Yang Yun's deep intentions.

Wang Zhe gave a thumbs up in secret, Mr. Yang is still like that, it's not ordinarily dark!

This is a typical stick and carrot move, knocking SoftBank to subdue and then pulling it in.

Longteng's shortcoming is the lack of enough managers to do things, the advantage is in the dark, and there is a lot of money, since Yang Yun is optimistic about SoftBank, it is inevitable that Son Masayoshi has extraordinary strength, let SoftBank serve Longteng, and everyone earns money together is the king!

"Blackstone's business is too broad, oil, steel, minerals, and not too much related to our core business, so I have not been involved. However, SoftBank Group is different, they focus on the IT industry, and invest in both software and hardware, which is very in line with Longteng's development plan, so I want to take a stake. ”

Yang Yun glared at Wang Zhe, who was secretly snickering, and tried his best to say all this in a calm tone, outsiders sounded like they were talking about a trivial matter, only he knew in his heart what a big deal this was!

"Now that you've decided that you want to enter the venture capital industry in the IT industry, do you need me to provide more than one list for your reference? Japan, the United States, Europe, China, can you cast a net all over the world......" Yang Zhan asked, he guessed Yang Yun's purpose, if he really wanted to enter the venture capital industry, he would have entered the Blackstone Group a long time ago, and companies from European and American countries would definitely not fall into Yang Yun's eyes.

"No need, you can find a way to take a stake in SoftBank, I don't need absolute control, I don't need to control their board of directors, I just need enough dividend rights, the more the better. I'm willing to give Son the most freedom to play, I'm willing to work with him in the global IT community, I have a firm grip on games and related industries, and he's in charge of things outside of games. Yang Yun instructed like this, this requirement is very low, this is his own venture capital and other venture capital companies.

Since Yang Yun is optimistic about SoftBank, there should be no big variables in its growth and expansion in the future, rather than producing a Japanese super investment group, it is better to take the first step in the pocket, anyway, Son Masayoshi is also Korean, and the partner joins a Chinese, what can't it?

Several people understood Yang Yun's little abacus, Yang Zhan and Wang Zhe were overjoyed, and Zhongshan Hayabusa was silent and relieved after the initial discomfort, he couldn't even decide the fate of Sega, why bother about who the next Japanese company was acquired by Longteng? The acquisition of all Japan by Longteng has only benefits for him, and there is no direct conflict of interest.

"I'm going to do this!" Yang Zhan received the order, he couldn't wait.

"Give me the plan to sign! In addition, President Nakayama, I still need your help to do the work in Japan, SoftBank is a competitor of Longteng, and I hope you understand my position. Yang Yun knocked Zhongshan Hayabusa once without hesitation, looking at the old man squarely.

Hayao Nakayama nodded: "Mr. Yang, please rest assured, I understand, I will wholeheartedly assist Section Chief Yang to complete the task!" ”

Yang Yun was very satisfied, and after the two left, he left Wang Zhe and asked, "Mr. Wang, have you been in Japan for five years?" ”

Wang Zhe replied with a smile: "Yes, in just over five and a half years, Japan has become the country where I have worked the longest. ”

Yang Yun asked, "After Square Enix's affairs are dealt with, how about you go back to the capital to help me manage WCG?" ”

Wang Zhe was delighted: "Of course it's good!" The capital is my hometown, and sooner or later China will surpass Japan economically! ”

Ten years from now, it will not be difficult for China's total economic output to surpass that of Japan, Yang Yun thought to himself.

"I need a steady person to help me take the helm of WCG, I will let the Lin family brothers and sisters be your helpers, I hope you can show your passion for the Japanese market back then, and make WCG the Olympic Games in the world of video games, the highest competitive event, it is best to really join the Olympic family!" Yang Yun's dream is very big, and it is not difficult to make e-sports become a sport recognized by the mainstream society in the world.

But retreating in the face of difficulties is not Yang Yun's style, he wants to challenge all this.

"Of course, no problem, I'm ready to go again!" Wang Zhe seemed to have become another person for a moment, full of fighting desire/hope: "It's just that in the matter of Square Enix, can we really get the greatest benefit?" ”

Yang Yun smiled faintly: "It's man-made!" (To be continued......)
