Reborn in the Tokyo Bubble Era

"Those consortiums are fools?" Zhao Yuanxi looked at him strangely, "The crisis you can see, they can't see?"

"Of course they can see it too." Tao Zhiming said flatly, "But since they can all see it, why do they still have to invest a lot of money to do these things now? Because first, their strength is always the strongest. Affordable, I'm afraid they also have the same idea as me to buy some bottoms in the future, so as to attract more land, enterprises, and brands in the future. Second, they must also complete the task of the central bank's window guidance quota, so that the turnover of funds can be improved. There will be no problem. Third, is it rare for decision-makers to make mistakes? It is true that people at the top have extremely extensive sources of information, but it is also true that the information they know is often selectively provided by the middle-level. "

He didn't say number four, because the fourth point is the most important.Although the judgment of the general trend may be well known in his mind, no one knows the time node better than him when to sell and when to take over.

For such a large layout, the most important thing is to be able to have sufficient funds to deal with it in time.

Unlike Tao Zhiming, the consortium is now betting in many places at the same time.At that time, there will not be enough time to prepare, and some good bets will also cause troubles, all of which need to be dealt with.

But Tao Zhiming tried his best to make a careful plan in advance.

Zhao Yuanxi thought about what he said carefully, and then said: "We still need a reason to put us in a huge predicament on the surface, and have to sell a lot of assets to cash out a reason. Otherwise, with your influence, you will leave early. There will be huge fluctuations."

Tao Zhiming nodded: "Exactly. For this reason, a large enough cash scale is required, so I need to dispose of sectors such as dance halls, assets such as golf courses, and real estate that do not need to be left behind."

Zhao Yuanxi thought for a while and shook his head: "Dimensional culture doesn't need such a large amount of funds. It doesn't make sense, even if you pretend to want to make a certain work popular or a certain celebrity, you don't need to spend billions of dollars. "

"Currently, there are not many industries that invest heavily but have no obvious short-term results. I can't touch some industries."

Zhao Yuanxi looked at him: "You came to me, do you want to find a way from Xiangdao?"

"I have this idea." Tao Zhiming nodded, "I have several ideas, and it's best to proceed at the same time, so that because overseas investment is tight, I have to sell those assets that are not necessary for Neon. Let others doubt. After all, when I donate gloves and funds, whether it is real estate or finance of Nihong, the future development opportunities must still be very good.”

"What do you think."

"First, build the headquarters building. Second, I want to find a way to play computer-related industries in Xiangdao. After all, I am optimistic about this, such as chip-related. Third, the yacht home port and golf course in Xiangdao, I’m starting to do this now, and it’s normal to go to Xiangdao to do something similar. Fourth, take advantage of the popularity of Xiangdao Film and Television to invest in the construction of a film and television city and shooting base in Xiangdao. Fifth, create a TV station in Xiangdao.”

"TV station?" Zhao Yuanxi stared, "Is it about to start?"

"It's just the layout. Anyway, it must be a small stage at the beginning, and it only specializes in entertainment, not involving sensitive things." Tao Zhiming said lightly, "On the side of Neon, I will also find a way to use my Neon people step by step. I have taken over a private TV station as an identity, and I have already made plans in this regard, and I have embarked on a road of compradors in the United States."

He talked about the Tao family, and then said: "In the country of America, there are more private small media, and they can also be deployed. At least for 20 years, I will only specialize in entertainment, and gradually I will get involved in other fields I am now investing and acquiring various types of magazines. Gradually forming a magazine kingdom, coupled with entertainment-oriented TV stations, I can continue to invest in this process and expand my editorial strength. With my young love Playing with the image, it is only natural to do these things.”

"Then the computer-related industries you're talking about..." Zhao Yuanxi asked suspiciously, "Want to take advantage of the opportunity that the United States is now suppressing Neon Semiconductor?"

"The main reason is that the investment in this industry is huge, which meets my requirements." Tao Zhiming didn't go into details, "It usually costs billions of dollars, and I'm a shareholder of Neon's largest software distributor, so it's normal to be optimistic about this industry. "

"But based on my current understanding of the many forces in Xiangdao..." Zhao Yuanxi thought for a while, and then said, "As an outsider, you want to settle so many places in Xiangdao at one go. It's useless. This is stealing other people's meat." .”

"How could it be?" Tao Zhiming sneered, "There are so many ideas, some of which are just for others. For example, yacht home port, golf course, film and television city. These are all projects that fit their short-term idea of ​​making big money. The service industry will be greatly stimulated, and real estate can also be built around the surrounding area. In these aspects, I invest more money and take less shares. Do you think they will not be happy? The headquarters building and the semiconductor factory are their compromises and concessions to me. "

Zhao Yuanxi nodded and confirmed: "That is to say, after these projects have been prepared in the early stage, when it is time to officially launch and invest a large amount of money, is that when you want to start the plan of Neon?"

"Almost." Tao Zhiming smiled, "It can be understood in this way."

It takes two or three years for these projects to go from planning to opening up the relationship in the early stage and obtaining the necessary formalities and approvals.

And when the time comes, it is indeed the time to get out of the neon real estate market.It is reasonable for Tao Zhiming to be forced to sell some marginal assets because of the need for large sums of money for those businesses he valued more.

The plan was huge and complicated, and Tao Zhiming and Zhao Yuanxi figured it out bit by bit.

Tao Zhiming's core goal is to be reborn once, disturb the situation, and do something for the future great cause.The matter of the media has to wait for the arrival of the Internet era, but now that we have accumulated such a rich net worth early, it is time to play some hard-core fields.

Anyway, in the first ten years, he only had to act as if he had dug a hole for himself and needed to keep throwing money into it.

Needing to keep investing money, he has a reason to "have to" sell some of his stock assets and real estate to cash out before the bubble bursts, so as to prepare for the bottom-buying when the neon bubble bursts.

What's more, the future real giants in the semiconductor industry are just emerging.

Neon's semiconductor industry is concentrated in the memory field, which is more valued at this time, and Intel has just been forced to withdraw from the DRAM market to specialize in the future core field of microprocessors; Zhouguo's semiconductor industry is still carrying out primitive accumulation, and it has to wait until Neon is in the United States. Completely defeated in the competition; and the upstream of this industry, the lithography giant ASML has only been established for more than two years.

Since Tao Zhiming already has so much money, he can find a way to use his identity as a Neon man to make some ups and downs outside the mainland.

The two had another long conversation, and Zhao Yuanxi felt that his ambition was clearer now than in the initial communication with him.

This can be described as a real five-year or even ten-year plan for BRAVO PEACH.

Starting from Dimensional Culture and WanderDance, he showed his interest in the entertainment industry through literature, comics, animation, music, and film and television, and used it as a reason to create a cultural entertainment media group purely oriented to the lives of ordinary people, caring about people's food and drink Playing, using magazines and TV stations to attract the attention of this generation of young people who will become the backbone of society in the future.

Then he used yachts and golf to continuously build his circle of powerful and powerful people, and also embedded them in large real estate development plans, burying pits.As for the dance hall and golf course, they are assets that can be transferred to others at any time.Through these things, attracting many people is the most critical.

In the field of technology, it is the field where he will spend a long time to continue his strength.Then, it will wait until the era when computers are popularized and computers are connected to each other.At that time, he will have the technical strength, as well as the accumulation of media resources and team, and he can transform himself into a new type of media that is different from newspapers and TV stations as he said.

Zhao Yuanxi didn't understand why he was sure that such a situation would happen. After all, this was just what he said, based on a possible trend of the current technological development, and it was a possible trend.

However, if it really becomes like that, Zhao Yuanxi looks forward to that era.

He only focuses on making the young people overseas and the next generation of young people in the world indulge in eating, drinking and having fun, but he can build a media network with intricate interests and influence that cannot be ignored.When his power is inseparable from that of many dignitaries in the West, and others will not easily harm each other's interests, if he wants to exert some influence other than eating, drinking and having fun, he can do it.

Seeing him examine the outline of the plan drawn up by the two of them with confident and happy eyes, Zhao Yuanxi couldn't help asking: "One link after another, what should I do if something goes wrong in the middle? The capital chain plan is too tight."

"What's the matter?" Tao Zhiming replied calmly, "Don't worry, in fact, rich people's money is better earned, and the money matters are left to me."

Zhao Yuanxi was speechless, isn't every rich person like you, ghost spirit?

Tao Zhiming put away this document with a smile, and patted him on the shoulder: "Do you have any thoughts of guarding yourself like a jade for Miss Qiyu? If not, let's go have fun together?"

"...you called me here, besides this plan, don't you have a lot of things to do?"

"That's right, it's very important for you to maintain a good image in the future." Tao Zhiming smiled cheerfully, "Then it will be hard work for you. By the way, one of Cha Yong's books will be printed soon, and you will bring it with you when the time comes." Go back. For those plans, you can communicate with Dong Sheng and Mr. Huo first after you go back, don't talk too much, and don't hide too much. "

"...What scale is that?"

"I want to make money with everyone. There are some things that I don't do purely for making money. They understand." Tao Zhiming talked about the proportions, then stood up and left, "I have already told Jiu Mina that you are here to help." For the matter, just go to her. Since you don't want to have fun, then I'll go find someone who wants to."

"...The baby is just born, isn't it?"

"I'm not a gentleman." Tao Zhiming said frankly, "What I want to do in the future requires a lot of identities. My excellent genes have to be spread to five continents."

Zhao Yuanxi only thought that he was flirtatious and could fly.

Chapter 350: Blowing Bubbles, Blowing Big Bubbles

Iwasaki Ryunosuke arranged the meeting with Suzuki Shunji at a restaurant in Setagaya.

The so-called kiosks are more expensive than ordinary restaurants, and the location is usually very hidden.Like the one where the sanitation fee is in Osaka, it just uses this name to upgrade the grade, it is not a real kiosk.

And the real kiosks arranged by Ryunosuke Iwasaki are by no means affordable for ordinary people.After a meal, the per capita is more than 10 yen.Moreover, this kind of restaurant only accepts regular customers, and those who go there for the first time need to be introduced by old customers.

Like when Hiroshi Omiya was dealt with in the first place, if Yusuke Kobata did not know the specific address, the people from the Metropolitan Police Department would not be able to find it directly.

At that time, Taijiro Mori met Tao Zhiming and Kinoshita Hidekaze in Minato District, and it was the same position.

One of their characteristics is that there will be women serving meals.Of course, it depends on the needs of the guests.

As for today's meeting, at least before Suzuki Shunji arrived, Iwasaki Ryunosuke did not call for a woman.

But there were other shows first.

Tao Zhiming silently remembered the place where Iwasaki Ryunosuke used to entertain guests of this level, and first drank tea with him in a hall and watched the geisha performance in the kiosk.

Thinking of Ueda Masahiro saying that Iwasaki Ryunosuke is the son of a geisha, Tao Zhiming couldn't help feeling a little weird.

Could it be the geisha trained by this family back then?

"Tao Jun, last time I boarded your boat alone, today you came to my appointment alone, can I understand this as the establishment of initial trust between us?"

Tao Zhiming laughed when he heard the words: "Iwasaki-san, what kind of mentality you had last time, what kind of mentality I am today. You are not confident in my game, and I am the same. Anyone who makes a move will only cause trouble. There is no benefit. So you also know that the so-called trust is of course out of the question now. It can only be said that we both confirm that each other is not a person who will act rashly. It doesn't even matter. After all, this is the second time we Let's meet alone, won't we?"

Iwasaki Ryunosuke smiled casually: "But it can be said that I care about Tao Jun's opinion, because I agree with your words. In doing things, we should make more and more friends."

"We agree on this point." Tao Zhiming said casually.

Then Iwasaki Ryunosuke seemed to be very talkative: "In some people's eyes, I took the initiative to reconcile with Tao Jun, which is morally at a disadvantage. After all, Iwasaki's family has been hit hard. My superior position itself is like treating my brother. It is understandable for Tao Jun to feel uneasy about cooperating with Tao Jun instead of thinking about restoring the family’s reputation now. But I believe Tao Jun has already understood my experience, and I don’t really care about it.”

Tao Zhiming was noncommittal. As your illegitimate child, if you really want to win over the hearts of family members and key cadres, you should care about it.

But Ryunosuke Iwasaki continued: "Because I know very well that the so-called emotional satisfaction is short-lived and fragile. If I can't bring you more and continuous benefits than before, I can't really make people feel happy." Agreed. Besides, I am far worse than my elder brother, even he was defeated in front of you, if I am still against Tao Jun, it will hurt everyone's interests, and the situation will only get worse."

"Iwasaki-san, for me, whether we can cooperate or not must be judged according to the actual situation." Tao Zhiming felt that listening to these was meaningless, "Trust needs to be established step by step, and it mainly depends on actions, doesn't it? "

"I lost my composure." Iwasaki Ryunosuke bowed, "When my father was alive, he thought I was too wordy and not good at hiding my emotions. If I saw how anxious I was to gain Tao Jun's trust, I'm afraid I'd be very annoyed. I'm disgraceful."

Tao Zhiming said with a smile: "How could it be? After all, Iwasaki-san is the dignified head of the family. In the eyes of others, he may be a bit conceited, but in my opinion, it is a rare humility."

He wondered if the little old fox was testing his reaction to soft tricks?His brother likes to be tough, but he has a very different style.

It's a pity that he is not a beautiful girl and the head of the family, otherwise the effect would be much better.

"This is all thanks to my mother's teachings." Iwasaki Ryunosuke said with a little nostalgia, "Tao Jun should know that being like my mother has been taught a lot since I was a child. I grew up beside my mother. Personality is more timid and low self-esteem. Tao Jun's unrestrained and masculine personality is exactly what I envy."

Tao Zhiming looked at him a little speechless, let's stop talking about these nasty things?You make yourself look like a little bitch.

Still chic and masculine...

He was a little confused about this guy's way, and he felt more and more like an old bastard.It is also possible that because of his origin, he is somewhat psychopathic.

After chatting with him casually for a while, when they heard that Suzuki Shunji had arrived, the two went to the yard to greet him together.

The car door opened, Shunji Suzuki got off the back seat, Tao Zhiming and Ryunosuke Iwasaki bowed to say hello.

Suzuki Shunji and Iwasaki Ryunosuke are already acquaintances, and they are all focused on Tao Zhiming. At this time, they smiled and nodded, and their voice was full of air: "I have heard the name for a long time, Tao Jun."

Hao Ran Tao Zhiming replied: "I'm just kidding, Mr. Suzuki. I act in an unassuming way. Please forgive me and give me some pointers."

Suzuki Shunji continued to smile, and said, "Let's sit down and talk inside."

His secretary also entered the room together. After all, Ryunosuke Iwasaki arranged for someone to sit on the side of the square table.

Opposite Tao Zhiming was Suzuki Shunji. He looked at Ryunosuke Iwasaki, then at Tao Zhiming, and said: "The past has its own cause and effect. Since we can sit together now, it is right to look forward. Tao Jun, you are a descendant of the Xia Kingdom, I think it makes sense as the old saying of the Xia Kingdom says that it is better to settle enemies than to end them."

"What Suzuki-sama said is true, I've been taught." Tao Zhiming bowed his body, thinking that Suzuki Shunji just said that, of course his purpose couldn't be to be a lobbyist for the Iwasaki family.These words have something to say.Thinking that he is 76 years old and a person who has gone through the entire wartime, Tao Zhiming's heart is awe-inspiring.

Is it a test of your own identity?If he has a close relationship with the Iwasaki family, then Mitsubishi, which undertook a lot of equipment manufacturing tasks in those years, reflects Suzuki Shunji's position tendency, which is worth pondering.

At the kitchen of the kiosk, the immaculate woman in kimono brought food and wine.

Suzuki Shunji said again very relaxed: "I heard that colleagues in Hokkaido are now fiercely disputing the Nanpu Bay development plan proposed by Tao Jun. Tao Jun has been developing in Tokyo, but he has a special liking for Hokkaido. "

"Where..." Tao Zhiming looked at Ryunosuke Iwasaki with a friendly smile, "Actually, I am also a person who likes to make friends. I met Governor Kozura because of Mr. Ueda, and I like the scenery of Hokkaido very much. Such a plan was carried out with a playful mentality. Whether it can be implemented smoothly is actually not very sure.”

"Tao-kun is humble." Iwasaki Ryunosuke praised, "The Mogami Gokurakucho planned by Tao-kun has now made many people in Tokyo look forward to it. After all, WanderDance and WanderKTV are very innovative, and the Hokkaido Music Festival is in this way. , It also shows that Tao Jun is good at grasping people's consumption psychology and providing new consumption fashion. The combination of yacht and golf may also be sought after by people with certain assets."

Tao Zhiming said modestly again: "Where... When I started to try, I was prepared to lose money. Fortunately, I encountered a good time. It is Mr. Suzuki who has a far-sighted vision and continues to open up new cities for Tokyo. Tokyo's population size and development potential are constantly increasing, which has given me the foundation to make this money. Mr. Suzuki, I sincerely thank and admire you."

Now it seems that it is the stage of flattering and greeting each other to get to the point. Tao Zhiming is acting while observing Suzuki Shunji's reaction.

Suzuki Shunji was always smiling like that, showing neither emotions nor anger.In fact, he is also surprised that this Tao Dalang really deserves his reputation, he is only 23 years old now, right?Rather, it looks like a character who has been honed in society for 20 years.

So he sighed with emotion: "Last year you fought back and forth about the national railway, but now that the dust has settled, it has disrupted my original idea. I thought that the land in Shiodome would be temporarily put on hold no matter what, but now I was able to start developing it immediately, which made the Shibaura Ginza area more attractive. I heard from Iwasaki-kun that you mentioned Odaiba, but I have always had this idea.”

Tao Zhiming thought for a while and asked, "That is to say, if the Odaiba development plan is proposed now, I am afraid that it will further increase the land price around Shiodome and fall into a passive position in public opinion?"

Suzuki Shunji glanced at him meaningfully: "So now, the development plan of Odaiba is probably the easiest time to promote. After all, there are several real estates in Shiodome and the surrounding areas, and there are many powerful people who are happy to see them further appreciate. of."

Tao Zhiming smiled, of course, at least Mitsui and Sumitomo would be very happy.

Suzuki Shunji obviously wanted to do it, but he was worried that ordinary people would criticize him for further raising the price of real estate in Tokyo.If the living pressure of Tokyo citizens becomes more and more serious, his vote will be affected.

When he said this, he added another layer of testing to Tao Zhiming's true intention of putting forward this idea: whether he really intends to participate in the development, or is it just for land speculation.

After all, his WanderDance land is also on the shore of Tokyo Bay in Shibaura District.

After touching on this topic for a while, the three chatted while eating, and began to exchange pleasantries.Tao Zhiming braced himself to cope, while wondering if there was a suitable solution.

If the development can be promoted smoothly, all three people here are actually happy to see it succeed, otherwise Shunji Suzuki would not have come to the banquet.

However, once the plan of Odaiba Linhai Sub-City Center is put forward, it is inevitable that the price of real estate in Minato City will soar.

During Suzuki Shunji's tenure, he has already proposed and promoted the development plan of three specialized sub-centers on the basis of the three comprehensive sub-centers of Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Ikebukuro.Now if you bring up the Rinkai Sub-City Center in Odaiba, it will be the seventh.

Tao Zhiming pondered for a while, and felt that if the development progress of these professional sub-capitals could be accelerated, the housing supply would be expanded, and the real estate trust charitable fund that was planned to be established last year would provide discounted interest... Maybe a solution could be come up with.

So he brought the topic back: "Tokyo's population has grown at an annual rate over the past seven years. To solve the employment and housing problems of such a large population, it is inevitable that real estate prices will continue to rise. The construction of the project is a century-old project, and if it can be fully completed, it will be able to stabilize the price of real estate."

Suzuki Shunji naturally thought so, otherwise why would he push out three deputy capitals in one go?

Hearing this, he said calmly: "Business is still profit-seeking. In the past few years, on the contrary, it is still the original capital and the three comprehensive sub-capitals. The scale and progress of development far exceed the three new sub-capitals with greater potential."

He took a serious look at Tao Zhiming, wondering if he specifically mentioned this, did he have any thoughts?

Sure enough, Tao Zhiming said: "If Odaiba, a sub-city near the sea, is proposed, the investment and development value of the two new sub-capitals of Osaki and Kameido will increase a lot, right? After all, they are all distributed around Shibaura, and the transportation The planning has also been done.”

Shunji Suzuki chuckled: "Increasing investment value is not the key point. The key point is to be able to actually develop commercial and residential real estate and to complete it as soon as possible. After the emergency economic countermeasures were proposed, Tokyo currently has some funds that can be invested in public service facilities." What is worrying is that, like many current projects, it has been planned and approved, but not constructed.”

Tao Zhiming understood, so he just smiled.

He can't make decisions for Mitsui and Sumitomo, anyway, Suzuki Shunji has already put forward his views.

There are public funds that can be tilted and invested in which areas according to need.Naturally, these public funds can also increase the land price and attractiveness of the invested areas, and they are also the fat of the project itself.

But what he needs is to build the deputy capital as soon as possible.Not to mention complete completion, at least it must be well-built within this year, increase the supply of housing, and stabilize the unreasonably high housing prices in core areas such as the port area.Anyway, the traffic is so convenient, if there are more cost-effective houses within the 30-minute, 1-hour commute circle, it will still affect the price of the entire real estate market.

To put it bluntly, I hope to reach a tacit agreement with investors headed by consortia: if you want to do it, you can do it bigger.Not only Odaiba, but also Osaki and Kameido, have to vote a little bit.Although the capital investment is larger, the real estate near Shiodome that has already been acquired has room for appreciation, and the fat invested by public funds is the exchange.

Tao Zhiming felt that he was getting older, so his mentality would naturally become more urgent.
