Kentaro Miyamoto said slowly: "Financing, theoretically speaking, this thing should be a two-way thing, rather than shaving your head and picking your head hot."

If the two parties do not agree with each other and are reluctant to be together, they will not be happy, and even end up breaking up. Toshiba's delisting and privatization is a typical example.

Toshiba paid $13.5 billion for this. The reason why Toshiba made such a big decision was that it did not agree with investors, or more precisely, with overseas institutional investors.

Those overseas institutional investors focus on a short- to medium-term benefit, while Toshiba focuses on the future medium- and long-term benefits. The latter's business philosophy for the future of the company is to focus on the research and development of a number of cutting-edge technologies.

The investment is large, the results are slow, and even the risk is high, so for non-operating investors, especially those who tend to do short- and medium-term investment strategies, it is tantamount to an unacceptable situation.

What's more, although the annual income of those overseas institutional investors is very high, the KPI assessment they face every year is also extremely strict.

If you don't achieve the set goal, not only will you not get the dividend, but you may also be dismissed. The end-of-the-box elimination system is all too common in professional financial institutions. ”

Miyakoto Miki looked at him and expressed her incomprehension and asked, "Since Toshiba is not short of money, why does it need to raise a fund?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto said bluntly: "On the one hand, Toshiba is under internal pressure from the Japan Federation of Enterprises. As for the specifics of it, I don't know. After all, with your husband's current level, he is not qualified at all.

On the other hand, it is to further broaden internationalization. What you have to know is that those overseas institutional investors are not just investing their money and then doing nothing, waiting for the money to be divided, but there will be one thing or another.

Toshiba is focusing on the operation of the company, and the requirements of those overseas institutional investors are for Toshiba to make the company's accounts beautiful and achieve a rise in the stock price, so as to cut a large number of leeks in the secondary market.

One of the quickest and most convenient ways to make a company's accounts beautiful is through financial means. They have also proposed a series of acquisitions.

However, these are completely contrary to Toshiba's business philosophy. Toshiba will never accept it, so it staged a delisting and privatization.

In the minds of the public, Toshiba is a company that makes white goods such as televisions, laptops, and air conditioners.

In fact, Toshiba's real core business is nuclear power, semiconductors, heavy motors, medical equipment, and more. Companies in Chinese mainland have acquired Toshiba's home appliance business, but some media have exaggerated that the entire Toshiba has been acquired by them, thus misleading the public.

In fact, Toshiba simply divested and sold the business that it considered backward or not suitable for future competition and development. Toshiba is a very powerful Japanese company. ”

Miyakoto Miki took the initiative to approach him and asked seriously, "How much money do you have?" Tell me about it! ”

Kentaro Miyamoto replied casually, "Not much." ”

Miyakoto Miki was full of curiosity and asked, "Not much, how much is it?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto deliberately played a trick and said: "Tens of billions, hundreds of billions...... Just over a trillion yen! That's less than $10 billion. Your husband and I are so useless that I can't even make the list of the world's richest people. ”

Miki Miyamoto was directly speechless. She just looked at each other blankly, never thinking that her husband would have so much money.

I knew that he was rich and rich, but I never even dreamed that he would be so rich and rich, and he was completely a veritable huge rich.

Miyakoto Miki came back to her senses and said, "You can't be lying to me, are you?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto said bluntly: "The wealth I inherited from my grandfather is four or five billion dollars. After so many years of unremitting efforts, it has only doubled.

Besides, is 10 billion dollars a lot? Any well-known and large-scale enterprise in the world has cash reserves, even if it is not more than 100 billion US dollars, but it is still tens of billions of US dollars.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has nearly $150 billion in cash reserves. Let's talk about Toshiba again.

If it has no money, how can it directly take out $13.5 billion for privatization all at once? Have you heard that it has additional financing for this? Or which bank did you borrow from? Anyway, I haven't heard of it. ”

Miki Miyamoto blurted out: "Even you have almost 10 billion dollars." So, isn't the Ishihara family super, super, super rich? ”

Kentaro Miyamoto said calmly: "That's beyond doubt. How could the Ishihara family of the Karuizawa Group, one of the top ten chaebols in Japan, be called for nothing. In fact, the so-called list of the world's richest people is far more entertaining than practical.

In terms of the amount of money, even Elon Musk does not dare to admit that he will be the real richest man in the world, but only the richest man in the world in name.

Even if his personal wealth is said to be more than $200 billion, it is all estimated. Who would be stupid enough to take the initiative to expose their true family background?

A very small number of people, who seem to have little personal wealth, are able to mobilize a large amount of money in a short period of time. It's a terrifying force.

In addition, wars between countries can also sell war bonds on international financial markets. Even in the two world wars, there were people who made a lot of money from them, and even the government needed to borrow money from these people. ”

Miyakoto Miki said seriously: "These people you are talking about are the Tenryu people!" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto said without hurry: "The Tenryu people are just a general statement. The Tianlong people are also divided into three, six, nine and so on.

Although it is a setting from the anime "One Piece", in real life, there is really one. It's just that there is no such thing as a supreme king. ”

Miyakoto Miki asked purposefully: "For you, I'm afraid that money has long lost its meaning, has it just become a string of numbers?" ”

Kentaro Miyamoto didn't say anything, and said, "I can't say that." The true meaning of money to people, in my opinion, is that it can provide freedom and security.

Only the freedom of wealth can lead to the freedom of the person. If you don't want to work, then you don't do it. One day, no problem. A week, no problem. Even if it's a month, there's no problem.

But what about a year? What about ten years? What about a lifetime? Not having enough money is not guaranteed. The sense of security will gradually fall into uneasiness and even panic as the amount of savings in the passbook gradually decreases. ”
