My 1999

Wearing a light pink silk pajamas, the triangular collar with white lace trims reveals her fair skin and deep ravines.

Her long black hair falls behind her shoulders, and she looks gentle and graceful with her oval face and delicate features.

"Is your son asleep?"

"He made a fuss for a while, and he's already asleep. ... This guy is really like you, stubborn and loves to eat."

"My son? Of course he's like me."

She rolled her eyes at him, "What are you looking at?"

Xu Liang handed over the document in his hand.

Jiang Xiaoyang took it and looked at it.

He frowned slightly.

"Seibu Group? Are you interested in it?"

"To be precise, I'm interested in some of its assets. And now is also a good opportunity." Xu Liang said.

Jiang Xiaoyang certainly knew about the bankruptcy of Seibu Group last year.

For a large organization like Seibu, its bankruptcy is very complicated and involves various legal cases.

Often after one or two years, those who should go to jail will go to jail, and the debt relationship will be sorted out, and then the debts owed will be repaid through judicial auction.

The bankruptcy case of Seibu Group, which has more than 170 large enterprises and more than 100,000 employees, and operates businesses in various industries such as railways, transportation, department stores, real estate, catering, schools, and research institutes, will be more complicated.

From his arrest in March 2005 to now, Seibu Group, which once helped Yoshiaki Tsutsumi become the world's richest man in the 1980s, has not yet sorted out the clues.

"When I was studying, Professor Harris of Columbia University highly praised Yoshiaki Tsutsumi and praised him as a better professional manager in Japan than Konosuke Matsushita and Akio Morita.

I didn't expect that he would be in jail in less than ten years." Jiang Xiaoyang sighed.

Xu Liang nodded. He had read Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's autobiography in his previous life, but because of the long time, the feeling was not clear.

It is far less than what we understand now.

Speaking of which, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is also a rich second generation.

His father is Kojiro Tsutsumi, the founder of Seibu Group.

According to the habit of daily life, Jiro is the second child in the family.

But Kojiro Tsutsumi was not foolish at all, but very shrewd.

He seized the opportunity, the opportunity of the world's recession after World War I, and bought a lot of land in cities such as Tokyo, Yokohama, and Kobe, completing the first wave of primitive accumulation.

After a success, anyone will subconsciously look for the same opportunity.

This is called path dependence.

The same is true for Kojiro Tsutsumi.

Later, he seized the opportunities of the Great Kanto Earthquake and World War II to buy real estate and acquire railways on a large scale.

By the early 1950s, Seibu had developed into a large-scale enterprise covering real estate, railways, hotels, department stores and other fields, and fought for a pivotal position in the Japanese business world.

What's more special is that Kojiro Tsutsumi is not only successful in business, but also keen on politics. He served as the Speaker of the House of Representatives in the 1950s and was a veteran of the Liberal Democratic Party.

In a sense, the success and influence of political manipulation are also the key reasons why Kojiro Tsutsumi is so good at business.

No matter which country.

Real estate management needs government support the most.

With the combination of politics and business, Tsutsumi Kojiro, who knows how to play the routine, naturally has a lot of money.

No matter what kind of man, he only pursues three things in his life.

Career, women and inheritance.

Tsutsumi Kojiro is very rich, of course he has no shortage of women, and his career is also top-notch.

So the inheritance of the Tsutsumi family was put on the table.

Men.

Especially men with successful careers, naturally there is more than one woman.

Tsutsumi Yoshiaki was born to a concubine, so both mother and son have no status in the family.

As a bastard, of course, it is impossible for him to become the heir of the family business.

But compared with his two brothers, he has an advantage.

He knew to obey his father's words absolutely at a very young age.

And this guy is definitely a ruthless person.

Once he made a mistake and was punished by his father to kneel.

When Tsutsumi Kojiro saw him kneeling, he turned around and went out of town.

Tsutsumi Yoshiaki actually knelt in his father's office for three days and two nights until Tsutsumi Kojiro came back!

Most people can't even sit for three days and two nights, let alone kneel.

Even if there is some water in the middle, it shows that Yoshiaki Tsutsumi has a willpower far beyond that of ordinary people.

Therefore, Yasujiro Tsutsumi has a new respect for this son born from a concubine.

However, if it were just this, the Seibu Group would not have been in his hands.

In Japan, which is deeply influenced by Confucianism, the system of primogeniture is also deeply rooted.

But the eldest son Tsutsumi Qing was very dissatisfied with his father's tyrannical and dictatorial family style, and even more dissatisfied with his father's dissolute and philandering lifestyle.

He took his mother away from the family and gave up the right of inheritance.

Seeing this, Xu Liang was a little worried about his future.

The second son Tsutsumi Qingji also despised his father's unscrupulous business style of making money from national disasters, and became a believer of Marxist philosophy.

Although he had to surrender to his father after being hit hard.

But the situation was over.

With the departure of the two legitimate sons, Yasujiro Tsutsumi had no other choice but to train the third son.

That is Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.

Since middle school, Yasujiro Tsutsumi has begun to focus on training Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, and the most distinctive thing is to teach him "Emperor Studies".

If you want to be an heir, you can't equate yourself with ordinary people.

You must have a strong character, learn to endure loneliness, and think independently.

But don't make any friends, because no one is trustworthy. Once you become dependent on others, you will be ruthlessly calculated.

I feel that the "emperor's mind" often mentioned in Chinese history is exactly the same.

The advice of his father influenced Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's life.

After Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was admitted to Waseda University, Kojiro Tsutsumi began to give him more practical training: he arranged for him to intern at the Land Planning Company, which is responsible for the real estate business of the Seibu Group.

In order to see how capable his son is, Kojiro Tsutsumi also bought a large amount of cheap land in Karuizawa, Nagano Prefecture, and gave Yoshiaki Tsutsumi a question.

He was asked to think about what projects should be developed and attract tourists there in winter.

As the old saying goes, a dragon gives birth to a dragon, a phoenix gives birth to a phoenix, and a mouse's son will dig holes.

In most cases, this sentence is still correct.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is indeed a business genius with a unique vision.

At that time, it was the eve of the rise of the Japanese economy, and leisure sports such as skiing and ice hockey became fashionable.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi had paid attention to the tourism industry for a long time, and with his father's unique skill of "raising land prices through development", he soon came up with an idea.

He first built a large ice rink, a multi-functional swimming pool and an alpine ski resort in Karuizawa, turning it into an entertainment city for skiing in winter, and gave his father a satisfactory answer.

Then he took a further challenge and built an indoor project that can be used for skiing and entertainment even in non-skiing seasons, making the business hot all year round.

With his flexible business mind, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi gradually gained his father's recognition and began to take charge of the group's real estate business.

In 1965, Kojiro Tsutsumi died of illness. At that time, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was only 29 years old, and he took over the Seibu Group founded by his father and became the highest authority.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was not impressive in appearance and was very young. He had a brother with more seniority, Seiji Tsutsumi, and there were many experienced employees in the group. His power was really hard to convince people at the time.

The Seibu Group, which seemed calm on the surface, was actually surging with undercurrents.

If it were someone else, they might be eager to make a big business to prove themselves.

But Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, who was as steady as an old dog, unexpectedly calmed down and began a decade of dormancy.

Seiji Tsutsumi, who held the opposite opinion from Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, was far less profound and patient than him. Out of a strong desire for expansion, Seiji Tsutsumi took the initiative to propose to split the Seibu Group into two.

I don't want to play with you anymore, I want to split the family!

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi did not refuse.

In 1970, he split the Seibu Group into two and gave one-third of the Seibu Department Store to his brother Seiji Tsutsumi, solving the problem of the brothers' dispute over the inheritance.

From this point of view, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was still very shrewd and decisive.

He would rather split the family than guarantee his absolute leadership.

But it was not enough to just appease the second brother, no, Seiji Tsutsumi.

There were so many old ministers in the group who had worked with their father for a lifetime and had great power.

They also needed to be appeased.

In order to stabilize the "court order".

He arranged 8 of his father's favorite generals in important positions in the group, and asked them to help him guard hundreds of businesses of all sizes in the group.

Four of them were arranged in important positions in the Land Planning Company responsible for real estate business.

No one dislikes a generous "emperor".

The "ministers" who got the benefits no longer opposed Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's decision.

But just when everyone thought that Seibu Group would invest heavily in real estate, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi made an important decision: to withdraw from Tokyo real estate.

This decision shocked entrepreneurs all over Japan and caused great controversy within the group.

At that time, Japan's economy was in its heyday after the 1964 Tokyo Olympics, and its domestic industrial and commercial and real estate markets ushered in a big boom.

Almost everyone believed that investing in Tokyo real estate was equivalent to printing money, and Seibu Group owned the most land in Tokyo.

At this time, they didn't go in to grab the meat, but gave the meat to others.

Is there something wrong with your brain?

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was certainly a smart man. The reason why he withdrew was due to an important intelligence.

In an interaction with the then political bigwig Kakuei Tanaka, he learned that the Japanese government would reform the tax system to prevent land prices from skyrocketing.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, who had a keen sense of smell, immediately realized that the good days of real estate were over.

Sure enough.

As the policy tightened, the real estate market in Japan began to panic.

The oil crisis in 1973 became the last straw that broke the camel's back, causing Japanese housing prices to plummet from high levels, and countless investors lost all their money, while the Seibu Group, which withdrew early, was unscathed.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi also became famous in one battle and became famous all over the world.

Konosuke Matsushita praised him as the most outstanding entrepreneur in Japan.

Akio Morita, the founder of Sony Corporation, sighed: Since there is Yu, why is there Liang?

At this time, Mr. Tsutsumi's status in Japan was equivalent to Mr. Liu before the subprime mortgage crisis, Mr. Ma before his personality collapsed, and Mr. Wang with a small goal of 100 million.

In short, there are two words: "awesome".

In 1975, Mr. Tsutsumi's 10-year agreement with his father expired.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi could finally let go and put his long-planned real estate business into practice.
