Japanese investors

Chapter 444 Tianlong people

Kentaro Miyamoto said slowly: "Financing, theoretically speaking, should be a two-way affair, rather than a one-sided affair.

If the two parties have different ideas and are forced to stay together, they will not be happy and may even end up breaking up.Toshiba's delisting and privatization is a typical example.

To this end, Toshiba paid a price of US$135 billion.The reason why Toshiba made such a major decision was that it had a different philosophy with investors, to be precise, with those overseas institutional investors.

Those overseas institutional investors focus on short- to medium-term benefits, while Toshiba values ​​mid- to long-term benefits in the future.The latter's business philosophy for the company's future is to focus on the research and development of cutting-edge technologies.

The investment is large, the results are slow, and the risk is even high. Therefore, for non-operational investors, especially those who tend to pursue short- and medium-term investment strategies, this is a situation that is difficult to accept.

What's more, although the annual income of overseas institutional investors is very high, the KPI assessment they face every year is also extremely strict.

Once the set goals are not achieved, not only will you not get any dividends, but you may also be fired.The tail-end elimination system is too common among professional financial institutions. "

Miki Miyamoto looked at him and expressed her incomprehension and asked: "Since Toshiba is not short of money, why does it still need to raise funds?"

Kentaro Miyamoto said bluntly: "On the one hand, Toshiba is under internal pressure from the Japan Enterprise Confederation. As for the specific details, I don't know. After all, with your husband's current level, he is not qualified at all.

On the other hand, it is to further expand internationalization.What you need to know is that those overseas institutional investors are not just as simple as investing money and then doing nothing and waiting for the money to be distributed, but there will be one thing or another.

Toshiba is focused on business operations, and the request of those overseas institutional investors is to let Toshiba do well in the company's accounts and achieve an increase in stock prices, so that it can cut a large number of leeks in the secondary market.

The fastest and most convenient way to make a company's accounts beautiful is through financial means.They also proposed a series of acquisitions.

However, these are completely contrary to Toshiba's business philosophy.Toshiba would never accept it, so it staged delisting and privatization.

In the minds of the public, Toshiba is a company that makes white home appliances such as televisions, laptops, and air conditioners.

In fact, Toshiba's real core businesses are nuclear power, semiconductors, heavy motors, medical equipment, etc.A mainland Chinese company acquired Toshiba's home appliance business, but some media exaggerated it as if it had acquired Toshiba as a whole, thus misleading the public.

In fact, this is not the case. Toshiba just divested and sold businesses that it considered to be lagging behind or unsuitable for future competition and development.Toshiba is a very powerful and well-known Japanese company. "

Miki Miyamoto took the initiative to approach him and asked seriously: "How much money do you have? Tell me!"

Kentaro Miyamoto replied casually: "Not much."

Miki Miyamoto asked curiously: "Not much, how much is it?"

Kentaro Miyamoto deliberately played a trick and said: "Tens of billions, hundreds of billions... just over one trillion yen! That is less than 100 billion US dollars. Your husband and I are really useless, even on the world's richest list Can’t even get on.”

Miki Miyamoto was immediately speechless.She just looked at him helplessly, never expecting that her husband would have so much money.I knew very well that he was rich and wealthy, but I never even dreamed that he would be so rich and wealthy. He was truly a rich man.

Miki Miyamoto came to her senses and said, "You're not lying to me, are you?"

Kentaro Miyamoto said straightforwardly: "The wealth I inherited from my grandfather is about 50 billion US dollars. After so many years of unremitting efforts, it has only doubled.

Besides, is $100 billion a lot?The cash reserves of any world-class, well-known large-scale enterprise, if not more than [-] billion US dollars, are still several tens of billions of US dollars.

Warren Buffett's Berkshire Hathaway has a cash reserve of nearly US$1500 billion.Let's talk about Toshiba again.

If it had no money, why would it immediately spend US$135 billion for privatization?Have you heard about it getting additional financing for this?Or which bank did you borrow from?Anyway, I haven't heard of it. "

Miki Miyamoto blurted out: "Even you have nearly 100 billion US dollars. So, the Ishihara family is not super, super, super rich?"

Kentaro Miyamoto said calmly: "That is beyond doubt. How could the Ishihara family of the Karuizawa Group, one of Japan's top ten chaebols, be called for nothing? In fact, the so-called global rich list is far more entertaining than reality. .

Regardless of the amount of money, even Elon Musk dare not admit that he will be the real richest man in the world, but only in name.

Even if his personal wealth is said to exceed US$2000 billion, it is all based on various estimates.Who would be stupid enough to take the initiative to expose one's true family background?

A very small number of people, who seem to have little personal wealth, are able to mobilize a large amount of funds in a short period of time.This is an extremely terrifying force.

Furthermore, when countries fight wars, they can also sell war bonds in the international financial market.Even during the two world wars, some people still made a fortune from it, and even the government needed to borrow money from these people. "

Miki Miyamoto said seriously: "These people you are talking about are the Tianlong people!"

Kentaro Miyamoto said calmly: "Denryu people are just a general term. There are three, six or nine levels of Tianlong people.

Although it is a setting from the anime "One Piece", it actually exists in real life.It's just that there is no such thing as a supreme king. "

Miki Miyamoto asked pointedly: "I'm afraid money has long lost its meaning to you and has just become a series of numbers?"

Kentaro Miyamoto said without joking: "That's not true. The true meaning of money to people, in my personal opinion, is that it can provide freedom and security.

Only with the freedom of wealth can we have personal freedom.If you don’t want to work, then don’t do it.One day, no problem.A week, no problem.Even if it's a month, there's no problem.

But, what about one year?What about ten years?What about a lifetime?There is no guarantee without enough money.The sense of security will gradually fall into uneasiness and even panic as the savings in the passbook gradually decrease. "
