Rebirth of the Tech Madman

...

Takeshi Fukuzawa, the president of the Mitsubishi District Office, who took office only this year, is well-known for his family heritage.

His great-grandfather, Fukuzawa Yukichi, is a famous modern enlightenment thinker, one of the six major educators in the Meiji era, and the first dean of the Tokyo Bachelor's Institute and a famous private university-Keio University The founder of.

A bank note with the largest denomination-10,000 yen on the D number since 1984, with the portrait of Fukuzawa Yukichi printed on the front of the banknote.

Fukuzawa Yukichi is more famous because of his theory of de-Asianism, that is, a book to abandon Chinese thought and Confucianism, to learn and absorb Western civilization, and influence the Meiji Restoration Movement.

This thing has extended many so-called "isms" and "theories", up to the current "Lesson from Asia into Europe" and "Leaves from Asia into the United States".

Taking into account the historical background at the time, the emergence of such arguments is not worth fussing about—Kang Youwei still divides the world's races into four types: white, yellow, brown and black, and white, yellow, brown, and black in his "Book of Datong". People are the best, followed by yellow people.

If you lag behind, you will be beaten. Standing on a developed height, no matter what theories, you can seem to find supporting evidence. There is really no need for mediocrity to be true. It will not be too late to look back in the next century.

Since Fukuzawa Takeshi wants status and status and family background, the richest man will naturally make corresponding arrangements for the reception.

In shopping malls, good communication is very important. This is the prerequisite for trust. In order to let Sony’s products enter the American market, Akio Morita deliberately took his wife and children and moved to New York, where he lived for a long time to familiarize himself with the American climate. Favor, accumulation of resources, and the results are obvious to all.

In order to have good communication, it is essential to create a caring communication environment-and this in turn shows the strength and demeanor of the host.

At the dinner table of the banquet, Yuasa Zhuo, the helper, explained to Fukuzawa Takeshi: "Tang has consulted your eating habits, so he specially prepared dishes with the theme of health and wellness."

Seeing the intelligence-gathering energy of the richest man, Fukuzawa immediately said admiringly: "You have a heart. When I was in the 5th grade of elementary school, I got tuberculosis and didn't see it until I was 23. Although this does not affect my work, it allows me to socialize. Come on. I have to be careful."

"This is the proper way of hospitality." The richest man smiled, "Having a good body can better experience the beautiful world. The rich people in the United States can still maintain the same quality when they are in their 80s. To a large extent, a high healthy life should be attributed to the method of health preservation."

The two didn't talk about official business, anyway, just about health preservation is enough to bring up many topics in the fields of humanities, science, and so on.

After the meal, Fukuzawa Takeshi, who had traveled a long distance, returned to the hotel to rest.

On the way, he said with sentiment: "Tang really has a well-deserved reputation. He is indescribably expensive. He is an ideal buyer."

Yuasa Taku was delighted to hear it—it seems that he has a generous lawyer to get it.

...

After the richest man returned to his residence, Christina, the queen of ships, couldn't wait to ask, "have the talk been done?"

"How can it be so fast?" Tang Huan laughed blankly. "This is Rockefeller Center. When Mitsubishi Land acquired it, lawyers and accountants were hired."

"Speaking of which, did you patronize for dinner?" The female ship king muttered disappointedly.

"A lot of things can be observed at the dinner table." The richest man replied leisurely: "For example, Fukuzawa Takeshi is also a good-looking executive."

"So what?" Christina was a little disapproving.

"When we talk about it tomorrow, I won't know." Tang Huan smiled leisurely.

...

The burst of an economic bubble was marked by the collapse of a stock market, while a real estate market did not show signs of decline until 1992—all indicators of land prices dropped by about 15% almost all of a sudden.

This kind of large-scale recession in a short period of time has caused all the capital investment objects to be too late to get out and get stuck in large numbers.

The economic reshuffle that has exploded in the past few years is equivalent to transferring the wealth of the entire society to the hands of a few winners.

It's a pity that the Mitsubishi site, which has a huge deficit, is not in this rank.

Takeshi Fukuzawa took over as president at this time, which meant that he was in danger, and a thorny problem he needed to solve was how to get rid of the seemingly glamorous burden of Rockefeller Center.

This pile of buildings, which were recognized as National Historic Landmarks by the U.S. government in 1987, did give Mitsubishi Land a lot of face at first, but now, Mitsubishi Lands only wants linings.

The senior management of the Mitsubishi Estate has been discussing fiercely-if it doesn't work, just find the right time to let the Rockefeller Group file for bankruptcy.

The richest man showed some interest in the Rockefeller Center, and Fukuzawa could not help but think that this might be an opportunity to retreat that takes care of both face and inside.

Since the previous preparations have been done very well, when we meet again, everyone will talk frankly and directly on official business.

"Since you are interested in the Rockefeller Building, you need to start from the Rockefeller Group." Takeshi Fukuzawa took the lead and said: "At present, the Mitsubishi Land Institute wholly owns this company 100%."

"I already understand this." The richest man said while pouring tea to the other party himself.

"It seems that Tang's heart is quite urgent-as long as the initiative is on our side, it will be easy to handle." Seeing this scene, Fukuzawa could not help but think beautifully, but he did not realize that his heart It's eager.

"But..." Tang Huan picked up his teacup and said slowly: "My think tank team told me that the investment in overseas real estate for a book is less than 10% of the investment of four years ago; and the Rockefeller Group, invested by Mitsubishi Real Estate, has caught up with this. In the US economic recession and the real estate downturn in Manhattan in the year, the average rent per square foot of the Rockefeller Center hovered at around $40. It has not been able to bring profits to Mitsubishi Land, so that it is not far from bankruptcy."

Listening to the richest man's words, although Fukuzawa Takeshi tried his best to control, the tea cup in his hand still overflowed with tea. The warm and hospitable Tang listed such a large number of data that made Mitsubishi difficult to sleep and eat. This is Have you started preparing for bargaining?

Reluctant to drink the tea, Takeshi Fukuzawa reluctantly concealed his anxiety and defended: "It's not that bad. After all, the economic situation in the United States has begun to recover significantly, and the real estate market in Manhattan will definitely improve with it. Rockefeller Center The average rent for square feet, reaching $70 in the future, is not a problem."

"Perhaps." Tang Huan smiled and stared at each other, "but you also said that this is the future."

Fukuzawa Takeshi's eager heart suddenly cooled down--Tang, across the Pacific Ocean, had a clear understanding of the details of the Mitsubishi site.

Seeing that Fukuzawa Wu was speechless, Tang Huan continued: "Although you and I have known each other for a short time, it is a good idea to communicate. Naturally, there is no need to bring a large set of red tape to be so inefficient. For example, the Mitsubishi Land Office was so inefficient. When the Rockefeller Center was acquired, a luxurious team was completely unnecessary."

"That is, that is. Tang Bo is so talented and fluent in Japanese, which is really admirable. There is really no need to set up extra links in communication." Fukuzawa Takeshi nodded and joked: " You see, we can even omit translation."

"Thank you." Tang Huan laughed loudly, and then preached heart-to-heart: "If this is the case, let's open the skylight to speak up-I want to use the Rockefeller Center to help the Internet company I invest in. The Mitsubishi Land Office is now on the books. The data is not ideal, and cash flow is urgently needed to be improved. It is a perfect match for each other to get what they need. I don’t know, what are the expectations of the Mitsubishi Land Office?"

Seeing that the core issue has been touched, Takeshi Fukuzawa hurriedly cheered up and said according to the thoughts he had prepared before: "When Mitsubishi Land purchased the Rockefeller Center, it invested 220 billion yen. You also know that one of the characteristics of real estate is to preserve its value... …"

"I'm sorry, I can't help but want to correct it." Tang Huan waved his hand and interrupted the other party's speech. "The economic trend of the past few years has proved that real estate may not maintain its value. A company is doing it. With this misunderstanding in corporate data statistics, I am now very passive."

"This is just the bubble being squeezed out..." Facing the sharp gaze of the richest man, Takeshi Fukuzawa suddenly lost the motivation to debate, and said with a wry smile: "Then what kind of offer can Tang give?"

"Look at this, we are divided into two stages-the first step, I invested 800 million US dollars to acquire 51% of the Rockefeller Group. The second step, completed a year later. This price, but compared with the original acquisition of Mitsubishi Land At the time of the Rockefeller Group, it was much higher, just in line with your expectation of real estate preservation."

Takeshi Fukuzawa's face suddenly turned into a bitter gourd, "Can Tang make an offer based on the yen?"

You know, at the beginning, Mitsubishi Land Office ran to the United States to acquire Rockefeller Center with Japanese Yen.

At that time, the Mitsubishi Land Office was very astute in considering the exchange rate changes between the US dollar and the Japanese yen, so it chose not to complete all the transactions at once.

In this process, the exchange rate of the dollar against the yen fluctuated from 160 to 130; but just this month, the yen against the dollar rose to an unprecedented 103.48:1.

According to Tang Huan's quotation, just a rough calculation will tell that this figure has not even reached half of the original 220 billion yen.

Of course, the richest man understands what Fukuzawa Takeshi really meant, but at this time he started acting again and replied disapprovingly: "If Mitsubishi wants yen, when I transfer the money to you, give it to the bank for exchange. That's it."

I didn't mean that-Takeshi Fukuzawa almost cried.

"When buying and selling American properties in the United States, it is natural to use U.S. dollars. Wasn't it the case when Mitsubishi Land acquired Rockefeller Center before?" Tang Huan was embarrassed for a while, and then he suddenly said, "You mean The exchange rate of the Japanese Yen to the U.S. dollar is very different now and in the past."

Like a chicken pecking at broken rice, Fukuzawa nodded repeatedly, not to mention being grateful-the communication with Tang was so smooth!

Tang Huan sighed sympathetically, "Have you ever thought that according to the current appreciation trend of the yen against the US dollar, it will break through the 100 mark, which is just around the corner. By that time, Mitsubishi Land Research will be even more unacceptable. "

Fukuzawa Takeshi was dumbfounded at once--isn't it, compared to a domestic economic downturn, the yen is not generally strong now, and no one can stop the appreciation.

Even after entering the 1990s, a trade surplus with the United States still exists, especially in the high-tech industry and automobile industry.

Therefore, the Clinton government has intervened in the appreciation of the yen in various ways.

On the other hand, the United States' own deficit policy has also caused the dollar to depreciate.

International capital even converts the U.S. dollars in its hands into strong Japanese yen.

When various factors such as these are added together, anyone with a discerning eye understands that the moment when the exchange rate of the yen against the dollar rises to 100 is just around the corner.

This will make the investment figures of Rockefeller Center on Mitsubishi Land's books even more ugly. After all, it is a real estate company based on Yiben.

"I am in business and always strive for a win-win situation. Money cannot be made, but friendship is more precious." Tang Huan said in a persuasive way: "The reason why I let this transaction be carried out in stages ~www.readwn.com~ is for Mitsubishi Land. Considering the exchange rate of Japanese Yen against the U.S. dollar. I first got 51% of the Rockefeller Group’s shares to achieve the purpose of holding; I will complete the rest of the transaction a year later. At that time, the exchange rate of Yen against the U.S. dollar can return. The level that Japan and the United States consider acceptable. And, don’t forget, what I gave to the Mitsubishi Land Office is the most precious cash."

Fukuzawa Takeshi showed emotions—Tang made sense.

Tang Huan once again served hot tea for the other party. He put himself in the position and concluded: "Actually, what does the deficit of Mitsubishi's investment in Rockefeller Center have to do with Fukuze? And Fuzep took this job as soon as he took office. Assets, sold at a good price, effectively improved cash flow-although the price is based on the statistical caliber of the US dollar, no one can change this objective situation, not to mention that you have done your best to delay the remaining transactions. In order to reduce losses."

Fukuzawa closed his eyes and tasting tea, doing intoxication, and quickly calculating the gains and losses in his heart, and found that Tang Huan’s proposal was indeed a happy solution, allowing himself to cleanly solve the difficult investment of Rockefeller Center, which greatly benefited Quickly establish prestige within the company.

"It is really lucky to talk about business with a wise man like Tang." Fukuzawa Wu opened his eyes and exclaimed sincerely.

Tang Huan expressed his stance without hesitation: "You can bring this plan back to a book, discuss it again, and observe the exchange rate trend of the yen against the US dollar by the way."

Fukuzawa Takeshi, who was stunned, was a little embarrassed, but fortunately, he came to pee, so he quickly guilty and concealed it with the help of peeing.

Seeing the other person hurriedly rushing to the bathroom, Tang Huan smiled playfully-I don't know, when the exchange rate of yen to dollar reached 80:1 a year later, were you crying or laughing?
