Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 140 Practice makes perfect
After explaining everything clearly, Masato Takeshita hung up the phone with a frown.

"Communication is really inconvenient. It would be great if we could have a video conference on the computer."

Young people miss the glorious era of mobile Internet very much. Unlike now, it is not very convenient to do anything.

"President, President Koike of Xinghai OEM has arrived."

Without even looking up, Takeshita Masato ordered, "Well, let him in."

"Yes, President!"

Masato Takeshita looked at Junyoshi Koike who was walking towards him and said directly, "Can we build a second wafer fab now?"

If the OEM industry wants to make big money, it must achieve scale.

One wafer fab is too few and may not be able to meet the needs of Xinghai Semiconductor in a few years.

"No problem, we can start working anytime."

When Masato Takeshita acquired the wafer factory, he packaged both the equipment and the people together, so Xinghai OEM quickly got on track.

If there had not been a fierce trade conflict between the United States and Japan in the semiconductor field, Xinghai Foundry might have been able to make a lot of money by taking orders from American chip design companies.

"Then we can use the current wafer factory as collateral to obtain a loan to build a new wafer factory."

The wafer foundry business can only survive for now, and it is better to grow on its own by relying on loans.

The spring of wafer foundry business came after the 20s.

"Loan? But the profits in the future may not be able to cover the interest."

Xinghai Foundry is now heavily dependent on orders from several major Japanese semiconductor giants, so it has no bargaining power and can only earn very small profits.

According to calculations by the finance department, after deducting the cost of aging equipment and wages, Xinghai's profit from OEM is less than 2%.

If you choose a bank loan, you will not be able to pay the interest in the future.

"It doesn't matter. Things will turn around soon. Go ahead."

It was just a little interest, and Masato Takeshita didn't care at all.

The most important thing now is to continue expanding and thus maintain our lead over TSMC in this field.

"Hi!"

While Xinghai's OEM business is still in the long night stage, Xinghai's investment is already booming.

Thanks to the continued surge in the Japanese stock market, the three major funds all made a lot of money.

The earliest Rat Fund had funds reaching the 15 billion US dollar mark.

The newly established Ox and Tiger are also approaching a scale of US$10 billion.

This is the charm of leverage and mortgage. As long as the stock market continues to rise, the funds will multiply.

If you switch to US stocks, it will be even better.

Because foreigners don’t have to pay taxes when investing in US stocks.

"Kamoto-san, Kikuno-san, Nagasawa-san, let's go and mortgage another round."

Since we know the future well, we should be more greedy. One round of mortgage is not enough, we need at least three rounds.

"Boss, isn't this a bit too risky?"

"The stock market is in a historic bull market right now, so don't worry."

The May Day holiday has just passed and there are still more than five months before the stock market starts to go down.

There is basically no risk in borrowing money at this time.

Of course, the operation of purchasing stocks should be secluded and dispersed to avoid being targeted by capital giants.

Relying on the power of leverage, Xinghai Investment once again made large purchases of shares in banks and real estate companies.

However, this time, in addition to Japanese stocks, a lot of US stocks and Korean stocks were also bought.

Not long ago, the United States imposed punitive tariffs of more than 100% on Japanese semiconductor products on the pretext that Japan did not comply with the US-Japan Semiconductor Agreement.

This move has indeed reduced the share of Japanese semiconductor products in the United States.

Therefore, companies such as Intel, Apple, Texas Instruments, and Microsoft have all started to see their stock prices rise.

Samsung Electronics, which had been losing money, also took advantage of this favorable situation and successfully achieved profitability. However, this chicken blood effect is destined to be short-lived.

The quality of Japanese chips is so strong that the worst ones are better than the best ones in the United States and South Korea.

The mere punitive tariffs are not enough to shake up Japan's semiconductor industry.

After walking around, Masato Takeshita finally arrived at Xinghai Semiconductor.

This area is the most important in Masato Takeshita's mind, so he devotes most of his time to the semiconductor company.

In addition to paying attention to the research and development progress of hard drives and memory cards, he will also go to Hadano City to inspect the progress of laboratory construction.

“Can it be completed in September this year?”

"Based on the current progress, this is the case."

"Not bad, keep up the good work."

"Hi!"

After all the matters of several companies were resolved, Masato Takeshita called his old senior, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, the current richest man in the world.

"Hello, Senior Tsutsumi. I'm Masato Takeshita."

"Takeshita-san, this is the first time you call me."

"Yes, Tsutsumi-senpai has a great memory."

"No, this should be a necessary skill for the president."

Hearing his senior's unintentional Versailles, Takeshita Masato was a little speechless.

Most presidents probably don't have such an excellent memory.

After chatting about this and that for more than 10 minutes, Masato Takeshita finally talked about his purpose.

"Senior Tsutsumi, this is what happened. I invested in a factory in China and plan to expand it. The government there is having a headache when it comes to demolition."

"They simply allocated some more land to me, allowing me to solve the demolition problem, and then gave me all the remaining houses."

"So I want you to recommend a more suitable president to go to China to build factories and high-rise buildings."

Masato Takeshita didn't dare to tell the truth because he was the one who suffered a loss in the current cooperation model.

Although Li Ka-shing of Hong Kong Island also uses the 55- split model, he only needs to build houses and does not have to solve the demolition problem at all.

This was done intentionally by Masato Takeshita.

Right now, houses in Shanghai are not worth anything at all, and if you want them to appreciate in value you have to wait until after 2000.

Even if he suffers a loss in this regard, the Shencheng government will definitely compensate him in other ways.

"Want to set up a real estate company? Okay, no problem, leave it to me."

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi believed in the philosophy of slavery and often kicked out employees who disagreed with him.

He knew that these were the people his junior fellow student was targeting.

But Yoshiaki Tsutsumi doesn't care. He doesn't believe that any newcomer can challenge him in the real estate industry.

"Thank you. I'll trouble you, Senior Tsutsumi."

"Nothing is too much trouble. Next time you set up a fund, give me more shares."

As NTT's stock price continued to fall, the value of Xinghai Capital began to increase.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, the super-rich man who invested 10 billion yen for the sake of his alumni, has begun to regret it.

I shouldn't have invested so little in the first place.

Unfortunately, it's too late.

All three funds have entered a closed period and it will take at least two years before funds are reintroduced.

"No problem. The fund share next time will definitely satisfy you, senior."

Masato Takeshita is very familiar with the exchange of interests.

Whether it is the early Matsumoto manufacturing or the later Xinghai OEM, they are full of the color of exchange.
