v2 Chapter 800： Seibu Group

That night, Iwasaki Hongyi invited Bao Zixuan to have a Japanese meal, and the two also drank a little wine. The amount of alcohol that is the richest man in the world is an open secret in the world. Hirotake Iwasaki, a man who can make the Soviet Union's first Bacchus be willing to bow down, dare not drink wine with him easily, so everyone just ordered it.

The Seibu Group is a well-known and powerful company in Japan. There are more than 170 large-scale enterprises under the group, with more than 100,000 employees. The business involves railways, transportation, department stores, real estate, catering, schools, research institutes and other industries. It can be said that this is currently Japan's largest real estate developer, but also one of the biggest rich people.

Bao Zixuan was invited to the office of Ti Yiming to see the man who twice climbed the world's richest man. The founder of the Seibu Group, Yasujiro Tsutsumi's father, has married three wives successively, resulting in a large number of children.

Ti Yoshiming was not born in a big house, according to Chinese tradition, he belongs to a concubine. Being able to surpass the two older brothers and inherit the family business must have its extraordinary ability. This is a more cunning figure than many of the creators, and it is the evaluation of the richest man in Bao's opinion of Yoshiaki Ti.

After seeing Bao Zixuan's arrival, Ti Yiming quickly stood up and said with a smile, "Welcome Bao Sang to Seibu Co., Ltd. Your presence really makes Bishe flourish."

Tetsuya Yasujiro was a Japanese political and businessman who read the books of ancient Chinese sages. He may have also found valuable enlightenment from Xunzi's harsh learning, so he wanted his son, Tetsuya Yoshiaki, who could inherit the family business in his eyes, to follow Xunzi's theory all his life. Xunzi once said that a person who knows how to remain silent and does not deliberately show himself will understand the true meaning of every word before he opens his mouth. Ti Yoshiaki's performance was ordinary. He used a contemplative and silent attitude. On the one hand, he cultivated himself, and at the same time, he was careful about his words and actions, so as not to expose his weaknesses and lead to disaster.

Before the richest man came over, he did a detailed investigation. Tikoshiro had a great influence on Yoshiaki Ti, this kid must have a good understanding of Chinese culture, or else the idioms wouldn't be as comfortable as they should be.

Bao Zixuan really didn't know what to say about this Huaxia Tong. Fortunately, it was Ti Yiming who invited him over, so the best way is to see the tricks.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "Mr. Tiyi is very polite. It is an honor for me to come to Seibu Group. Although we have no business relationship, we are all businessmen. Now that we are familiar with each other, we believe that cooperation will be a matter of time."

At present, the Seibu Group mainly focuses on real estate, and at most it adds department stores. Although the products of the Black Cloud Group are sold in Seibu Department Store, they are sold through Japanese agents; currently, there is no direct business relationship between Heiyun and Seibu.

What Bao Zixuan said made Ti Yiming very happy. It seems that this kid is not a traditional engineer. Knowing to leave a way for himself, how could a simple engineering man make such a big business.

Ti Yiming: "My idea is the same as Bao Sang. As long as they recognize each other, cooperation is a matter of time."

"I invited you here mainly to hear your views on the Japanese real estate market. I know it is a bit presumptuous. The onlookers are clear, the authorities are obsessed. Now most of the Seibu Group's funds are in the real estate market, I am very worried."

Bao Zixuan didn't expect this old boy to come up and ask him about his views on the Japanese real estate market, knowing that the other party is an expert in this regard. Black Cloud Group is mainly engaged in technology manufacturing and electronic product production, why ask him this layman.

In fact, many people can understand that Bao Zixuan is very optimistic about the Japanese real estate market. Otherwise, it is impossible to choose not to cash, but to choose properties in the Tokyo area every time you exchange patents.

In addition, the Blackstone Fund under its name is buying properties in Japan. If the richest man in Hong Kong Bao is not optimistic about Japanese real estate, ghosts will not believe it.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile: "Mr. Tiyi is an expert in real estate. If you are talking about machinery manufacturing and aviation power, I may answer your doubts. Now when it comes to Japanese real estate business, I really don't know how to answer. "

If your kid is not optimistic, you can buy so many properties. However, Ti Yoshiaki wouldn't say these words. If he really said that, there would be no way to continue the next topic.

Ti Yiming said with a smile: "Doing business is easy, Bai Liling. Although Bao Sang is not engaged in the real estate business, he has built many factories and property buildings all over the world. We do not touch on professional topics and regulation today. Economic issues. These are all things that the government needs to consider, we only talk about business, and more importantly, how to make money.”

At this time, Bao Zixuan knew that it was really not good to refuse directly.

Because Ti Yiming once said: "I read a lot of ancient Chinese sages' writings, Xunzi's articles are the most read, from his thoughts, I have my own opinion, it is Mencius's theory of good nature. Yes, between people , you trust the other party, and you can get the other party's trust. This kind of trust is the illustration of goodness."

People treat you as a friend, and that trust is hard to come by, at least on the surface.

Bao Zixuan said with a smile, "Since Mr. Tsuyoshi wants to know my opinion on the Japanese real estate market, I can only say that it is very worthwhile for investment."

"The whole world knows that Japan's land area is small. It has a lot of companies, and the most important thing is that these companies can earn a lot of foreign exchange."

"The first thing after making money must be to improve the quality of life. Real estate can well reflect the value of a man."

"There is only so much land in the core area, and it is bound to be insufficient. Rare things are more expensive, and the rise in land prices must be an inevitable trend. As land prices rise, real estate must also increase accordingly."

Sure enough, it's almost the same as what I analyzed, but every item has a price. Since the price is too high, no one can consume it. This kid must have not finished talking, and he must be pulled up.

Tsui Yoshiaki: "It seems that Bao Sang and I have the same idea. We have a ceiling when building a house. Property prices must also have a ceiling. I have been thinking about where this ceiling is."

Bao Zixuan didn't expect Ti Yiming to say such a thing at all; after all, Ti Yiming believed in Xunzi's theory of evil, and he didn't make friends or talents. After Japan's economic bubble collapsed, his business plummeted and he was jailed for falsifying financial information.

Today, I treat myself as a friend again, and I also analyze that there may be a ceiling in the Japanese real estate market. Is there any secret that I don't know during the collapse of the Japanese real estate bubble?

In fact, this has a lot to do with the division of local power in Japan. The nouveau riche of Tikujiro's generation is despised by many Japanese. The old-fashioned consortium laughed and said: "Where the Omi businessmen have walked, not even grass grows."

In addition, Yoshiaki himself does not like to make friends, so when he wants to sell the property. If there is no enterprise to take over, this is the most deadly. That is, everyone united and besieged the Seibu Group.

Bao Zixuan: "The policy intervention in the real estate market is too strong. The Black Cloud Group is a foreign company. And most of the buildings I buy are industrial office buildings, and the rent is a stable source of income."

Tsutsumi Yoshiaki: "I have a proposal that the two of us jointly set up a joint venture company to jointly develop real estate in Japan."

This proposal made the richest man rub his hands in a hurry. After all, the other party should not cooperate with him. What does this mean, some people do not understand.

Bao Zixuan: "I'm sorry, if Mr. Diyi wants to sell the property, Heiyun Group is still interested. It's okay to cooperate. I don't like to cooperate with others when doing business. The main reason is that I was too angry before, and I can't manage according to my own ideas. The company, resulting in many decisions not being realized. For a business that cannot be fully controlled, it is better to be good.”

Of course, Ti Yiming knew that Bao Zixuan would refuse, but it was just a test. If we can cooperate, of course it is best If the cooperation fails, it will not suffer.

Yoshiaki Ti: "That's a pity. At present, Seibu Group has no properties for sale. If there is one, I will give priority to Baosang. There is a good Chinese restaurant nearby. I will invite Baosang to taste it."

No cooperation was negotiated, and Bao Zixuan left after lunch.

Bao Zixuan thought that Ti Yiming was worried about cooperating with others and could not fully control it; only then did he think of himself. However, the real estate market in Japan is too deep, and it is no problem to speculate on some buildings;

After Bao Zixuan left, Ti Yiming explained to the secretary. Let her arrange for someone to observe the sale of the properties of Black Cloud Group and Blackstone Fund at any time, and report it as soon as possible.

It was this inconspicuous move at the time that saved the Seibu Group and Tsutsumi Yoshiaki. When the Black Cloud Group began to sell properties five years later, Yoshiaki Ti also began to sell. The timing of the sell-off was a year and a half earlier than the peak, and many international hot money has not yet withdrawn. Seibu Group sold nearly half of its properties and land, successfully allowing Tsutsumi to survive the real estate bubble crisis.

Whenever I think of this incident, Yoshiaki Ti will sigh with emotion. Inviting the richest man in Bao to come to Seibu Group was the most correct decision in his life.
