Rebirth: My 80s

Li Jiankun sat on the sofa sipping tea, determined not to disturb Sun Zhenyi's collapse.

If it's going to collapse, let it collapse completely.

comfort?

nonexistent.

If this guy still doesn't believe it, Li Jiankun doesn't mind playing the game with him a few more times, and playing the seven captures and seven releases to the fullest in the literal sense.

Anyway, it’s not a waste of Li Jiankun’s money.

It's just a few times of emptying your wallet.

A few million dollars each time, even if you play it seven times, it’s only 7 million dollars, but there is an increasing probability of taming a future world richest man into a younger brother.

There's no better deal than this.

Why is Li Jiankun so sure that Sun Zhenyi will not be successful no matter how he starts a business now?

It’s not that he can tell fortunes, nor that he has a very sharp vision.

But it was the history that had already happened that told him.

Like almost all entrepreneurs, Sun Zhenyi, who was in his twenties, was certainly smart. For example, he developed the world's first translator and sold it to Sharp, making a fortune.

He is not lacking in the ability to make money.

But making money and starting a business are two different things.

When he wanted to build a career and expand SoftBank, he took many detours and ran into obstacles throughout almost the entire 1980s.

His real rise to fame came in the early 1990s, when he caught the earliest wave of Internet communications.

So the old saying goes: Times make heroes.

If the tide of the times does not roll under your feet, no matter how great a person is, he will usually face a situation where his talents are not appreciated.

Zhuge Liang was a genius, but before he was 27 years old, he still lived in seclusion in a hut, leading a commoner life of "trying to survive in the troubled times and not seeking fame and fortune among the princes."

Jiang Ziya was eighty years old and still had nothing to do, spending all day fishing by the river.

History has long told us this fact:

Everyone's success requires at least one opportunity.

The gap between people is actually not that big. The IQ of a normal person is around 100, and the IQ of a so-called genius is only a few dozen higher. It’s just that some people wait for their chance, while some don’t; some people seize it, while some miss it…

"Am I really that useless?"

Sun Zhenyi sat on the wooden floor, extremely depressed, muttering to himself.

Well, I am beginning to doubt my life... Li Jiankun put down the glass teacup and cast a sympathetic look:

"Anyway, it's not that useful."

Well!

Sun Zhenyi felt a sweet taste in his throat and almost vomited blood.

Li Jiankun was still afraid of hitting him to death, so he continued to finish him off:

"So, do you still think you are so extraordinary and will definitely achieve great things in your business life?"

A strong bitterness appeared on Sun Zhenyi's face.

He couldn't even start such a small business as a magazine, and he failed three times in a row!

He is now in deep self-doubt and feels that he is not suitable for starting a business at all. His one success during college was purely accidental.

The knife comes again:

"Don't think that the earth is losing you. In fact, everyone, at some stage, thinks that they are the destined one, that they are so special.

"In the end, after getting bruised and bloodied and having his edges smoothed by reality, he finally admitted that he was an ordinary person."

Li Jiankun is like a life mentor, guiding people step by step:

"It's important for you to know yourself, try, and work hard. You should see yourself clearly from failure, correct the direction of your life in time, and find a path that suits you. To be honest, you are not suitable for starting a business..."

As expected! Sun Zhenyi thought, no longer doubting his vicious vision.

The future richest man in the world has been completely led astray...

"But you still have some good points."

Li Jiankun said slowly: "He is good at communication, sincere, efficient, and has good execution ability."

He paused and stared at Sun Zhenyi:

"Don't you think these qualities are better suited for other things?"

Being praised suddenly... Sun Zhenyi, who was in such a bad mood, was as happy as eating a ginseng fruit: "Doing things for you?"

Li Jiankun curled his lips and said, "What's wrong? I'm wronging you. Through these three entrepreneurial ventures, oh no, four times, you have also seen your ability. If you continue like this, you may not achieve anything even after you are over fifty."

Li Jiankun paused, and seemed to digress:

"What do you think of Tsuruta Nakamura now?"

Really! Sun Zhenyi opened his eyes wide. Although he had thought of it a long time ago, it was just a guess, just like the gossip.

He thought that Tsuruta Nakamura was a big shot now.

There is definitely no shortage of money.

As the company with the most land in Nippon Benz and the official boss, he has a good reputation and is a true upper-class person. He is a big shot wherever he goes and no one dares to ignore him.

And as the yen appreciates, land prices will rise, and his weight will also increase day by day.

Compared with most of the self-employed bosses, he is much more successful.

Sun Zhenyi thought, actually, it’s not bad…

He knew Tsuruta Nakamura, and even though he was hit hard now, he still arrogantly believed that he was more capable than Tsuruta Nakamura.

In other words, if he works for Mr. Li, he has the hope of reaching higher heights than Tsuruta Nakamura.

"If I follow you," Sun Zhenyi asked cautiously, "what do you plan to let me do?"

He wanted to understand and confirm two pieces of information through this question:

1. Is what Mr. Li wants him to do something he is interested in?

When a person does something that he is interested in, it is a pleasure; otherwise, it is painful.

2. Will Mr. Li make use of him?

This is of course crucial.

It will directly determine his next choice.

“High-tech industry.”

Li Jiankun said: "I agree with what you said before - something smarter than the human brain will definitely have a future. Not only that, I believe that scientific and technological progress is the primary driving force for social development.

"Japan's current science and technology, especially in electronic technology, is among the best in the world.

“In fact, I also own a number of electronic technology companies, which you will know later. But I still have the idea of ​​starting a technology company in Japan.

“This requires help.

"I won't hide it from you. I sent someone to investigate you. You graduated from an Ivy League university, have made some pretty good inventions, founded SoftBank, and you also want to work in the electronic technology industry.

"So I think it would be quite appropriate for you to do this."

Sun Zhenyi asked: "What position will I hold?"

Li Jiankun: "What position? The high-tech industry is hard for outsiders to touch in any country. Of course, the company is registered in your name, and you are the boss.

"But the prerequisite is that you must quickly become a Japanese citizen, otherwise you won't be able to do this later."

boss!

Sun Zhenyi's eyes were bright and he had no other questions.

Mr. Li's vision is as sharp as ever. Indeed, he is particularly interested in the electronic technology industry.
