Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 132: Haunted by dreams
"How is it going? Are you used to being with Vice President Masuoka?"

In the president's office of Xinghai Semiconductor, Masato Takeshita asked with a chuckle while pouring tea for Masanari Morita.

“Very good, I learned a lot of new knowledge, it feels like I am studying for a doctorate.”

When mentioning Fujio Masuoka, Morita Masanagi's eyes lit up and his tone was full of respect.

"So do you think you will continue to develop the flash memory chip project under the leadership of Vice President Masuoka? Or will you research new inventions on your own like Nagawa Tsuneichi and Yamazaki Takuma?"

Morita Masahiro pondered for a moment, then smiled and rejected the possible temptation of money.

"Well, I'll continue to learn from the vice president."

Rather than making money, he wanted to learn the most advanced flash memory technology.

Fujio Masuoka is now the strongest R&D personnel in the flash memory field. Being able to study under him is an opportunity that countless semiconductor practitioners dream of.

As for the loss of a small amount of money, it is nothing compared to the advancement of our own technology.

The most important thing is that he is not short of money now.

"That's it, that's good."

Masato Takeshita felt regretful but also relieved. It was an honor for Xinghai Semiconductor to have such an employee who was passionate about technology.

Morita Masahiro couldn't do it here, so Takeshita Masato called Masuoka Fujio over.

After briefly talking about the cooperation with Sony, he asked, "Mr. Masuoka, who do you think would be a good choice for this?"

"Well, the new guy, Ohkawa Tsuneichi, is perfect for this job."

To be honest, it's a bit of a waste of talent for Takuma Yamazaki and Tsuneichi Ohkawa to develop the same project at the same time.

Now that there is a new opportunity, it's a good time to separate them.

"Okay then. I'll leave it to you to arrange."

"Yes, President!"

After arranging the work of Xinghai Semiconductor and Xinghai Foundry, Masato Takeshita came to Xinghai Investment.

"Kikuno-san, has the investment of the Ugly Bull Fund been completed?"

Shinji Kikuno put down the teacup in his hand and answered respectfully: "According to the president's arrangement, we have purchased shares of Industrial Bank, Mitsubishi Bank, Itochu Corporation and other companies in batches at a leverage ratio of 3 times."

"Well, not bad." Masato Takeshita nodded, then looked at Masao Nagasawa.

"Mr. Changze, where is the Tiger Fund?"

"I will also complete the transaction according to the president's arrangement. However, I mainly purchased Mitsubishi Estate Group, Mitsui Fudosan, Rekurut Space, etc."

Although Rekuruto Universe collapsed in 1989, it is still thriving and is considered the fastest growing real estate company in Japan.

As long as you operate well, you can still make a lot of money.

"Very good, that's what I want."

Masato Takeshita nodded in satisfaction, then smiled and instructed: "Kikuno-san, go divide the shares of the Ugly Bull Fund into five parts. Let's go visit the banks."

Since it’s not your own money, you naturally have to be bolder.

In addition to leverage, make more use of loans.

"Yes, President!"

The loan process went very smoothly. Whether it was the long-term partners, Changxin Bank and Industrial Bank, or the relatively unfamiliar Dai-ichi Kangyo, Fuji Bank, and Mitsubishi Bank, they all readily agreed to Xinghai Capital's loan request.

The interest rate of the loan is not high, only 3.25%.

“Continue to buy all the two major sectors, finance and real estate.”

"Yes!"

The Ox Fund took out loans to invest in stocks, and the Tiger Fund did the same.

It’s a high-risk, high-reward game. “Does this count as changing history?”

Masato Takeshita looked at the newspaper of April 4 with a slightly dazed expression.

Although he did not remember the day when NTT reached its peak, he clearly remembered that the day when NTT reached its peak was also the day when the total market value of the Nikkei stock market exceeded that of the New York Stock Exchange.

But this time, things changed.

Yesterday, the market value of the Japanese stock market surpassed that of the New York Stock Exchange, but today NTT's market value continued to rise and reached 320 million yen.

The butterfly effect has already appeared.

I believe that as his influence on the world grows, the future will also be completely different.

Of course, he can only change the details of the world's development, the general outline remains the same.

This is what is called the way of heaven: small trends can be changed, but big trends are inevitable.

Xinghai Investment continued to purchase stocks according to Masato Takeshita's policy, while he returned to Matsumoto Manufacturing, which he had not visited for a long time.

"Kagawa-san, please help me reserve a high-end restaurant in Roppongi, Minato. I'm planning to host a banquet for guests at 7pm on Saturday."

"Okay, a few people."

"Well, four, I guess."

Masato Takeshita thought about it and gave up the idea of having dinner alone.

"clear."

Yuriko Kagawa responded skillfully.

"Then, please help me make an appointment with Mr. Zhang, the Chinese ambassador to Japan, and his wife. I plan to discuss cooperation with them."

It cannot be said that Masato Takeshita is completely ignorant of the current situation in China, but it can be said that he has only a vague understanding of it.

He planned to communicate with the ambassador to Japan first to test the situation there.

If Shencheng welcomes him, he will be sent an invitation letter, which will be more formal.

"Yes, President!"

The communication between the two sides was very smooth. After learning that Matsumoto Manufacturing wanted to invest in Shanghai, Ambassador to Japan Zhang Shu immediately accepted Masato Takeshita's invitation to a banquet.

"Lao Zhang, what's the matter? You look so happy."

"Do you know Matsumoto Manufacturing?"

"The president is a college student. Which company produces suitcases?"

After being promoted by Waseda media, Masato Takeshita became well-known in Japan and the embassy staff were naturally no strangers to him.

“Yes, this company is planning to invest in China.”

"Oh, this is great news."

China’s current ability to earn foreign exchange is seriously insufficient and it is in great need of international capital.

Although Matsumoto Manufacturing is not a giant like Panasonic, it will not keep all the profitable funds in China.

But even if only a small part is left, it will be a huge supplement to China.

Although Masato Takeshita only needs to coordinate with the Shanghai government, the embassy still has to report it first as it involves an investment of tens of millions of dollars.

This is a matter of principle.

All I can say is that China is still too poor right now.

If it were in the future, it would be a project worth not only tens of millions of dollars, but billions of dollars.

It is difficult to alarm the central government unless it involves key technologies.
