Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 161 A Different Destiny
After finishing the work on the Star Ocean Game side, Masato Takeshita inspected the situation of Star Ocean Semiconductor.

It can only be said that Lou Gerstner is worthy of being the legendary manager who will save IBM in the future. He quickly put Xinghai Semiconductor in order and began to expand the market into Europe and the United States.

Masato Takeshita found that there was no place for him to intervene, so he simply went to Matsumoto Manufacturing.

"How about it, is there anyone who volunteered to sign up?"

"Everyone is quite positive. Vice President Kobayashi has the highest support at the moment."

Lin Qingqian took out the sorted information and handed it to Takeshita Masato.

"Oh, after all, America is more attractive."

Few people want to take up important positions in the Tianchao branch.

It's different in the United States. I heard that they are planning to set up a branch in North America, and everyone is scrambling to get a hold of it.

“Well, that’s America.”

Lin Qingqian's eyes sparkled, and all the beautiful things about America flashed through her mind.

But this is normal. Not to mention China in the 80s, even in China in 2000, most people still regarded the United States as a paradise on earth.

If someone has a relative in the United States, it is a very prestigious thing.

"Why, you want to go too?"

Masato Takeshita looked at Lin Qingqian with amusement. It was the first time he saw her with a fangirl-like expression.

"No, America is great, but it's not for me."

The girl shook her head and cut off the desire in her heart.

She really wanted to live in the United States, but she loved her motherland more. She hoped that she could contribute to the development of her motherland.

"Yes, we must maintain this spirit."

Masato Takeshita smiled with satisfaction and brought the topic back on track.

"Okay then, let's arrange for Kobayashi-san to go to North America to set up a branch of Matsumoto Manufacturing."

Although the trolley suitcase market is still in the blue ocean stage, it will only last for the next two years at most.

As the number of cases increases, fierce internal strife will break out by 1989 at the latest.

Finally, although there will not be only a few manufacturers like in the semiconductor industry, if you want to make money, you need to expand the channel market more actively.

If Matsumoto Manufacturing does not want to be trapped in its home country, it must actively establish branches in North America and Western Europe.

"Yes, President!"

Matsumoto Manufacturing's North American branch said it was indeed important, but it is still a seller's market, so Masato Takeshita did not follow suit.

Led by Hiroaki Kobayashi, several personnel and accounting personnel formed a preliminary team.

As for more employees, they will all be filled by locals.

Then after a year or two, even the position of branch president will be given to a local person.

Outsiders cannot defeat the local tyrants. If they want to develop well, they must rely on the locals.

Later Internet companies have provided sufficient samples for Masato Takeshita.

Neither Amazon nor MSN can compete with local Alibaba and Tencent.

Take MSN as an example.

If there is any bug in Tencent's QQ, it can be fixed in 3 days at most. MSN is controlled by the United States, so it often takes ten days or half a month.

After such a long time, it is easy for users to be lost.

Also, if you find any useful new features.

QQ can start research and development immediately and then launch it quickly.

MSN is completely different. It needs to be reported to various levels before it can be modified, and often there is no feedback for several months.

As for the realization of the function, you just wait.

So at the beginning, MSN still had a fighting chance.

But after a long time, it became a toy for a few people.

Eventually retreated from the Chinese market.

Amazon is much the same.

However, Amazon still has some room for survival thanks to its cross-border advantages.

After arranging for several companies, Masato Takeshita simply fulfilled his promise a few days ago and took his girlfriend and Tanaka Eri to Karuizawa for a vacation. "You are indeed my best friend. You didn't forget to take me with you even though it was such a good opportunity."

Tanaka Eri was very happy and hugged Sakai Izumi's arm and shook it hard.

She had wanted to visit Karuizawa for a long time, but the prices were too expensive.

Especially after 1987, both the prices of tourist attractions and accommodation fees skyrocketed.

"Well, you are my friend."

Izumi Sakai has always kept her best friend's words in mind, and now that she has the chance, she naturally wants to bring her friend along.

Come to think of it, the girl had never been to Karuizawa either.

I've only heard of this place's reputation and know that there are a lot of fun and delicious food here.

"Well, we are friends."

Tanaka Eri nodded with emotion, and then asked curiously: "Everyone says this is the number one tourist destination near Tokyo. I wonder which one is better than the coast near us."

Kanagawa has Japan's very famous Shonan Coast, which attracts countless tourists every summer.

If we look at it purely from a tourism perspective, the Shonan Coast is far more profitable than Karuizawa.

"This is probably the more beautiful place. Karuizawa has nice mountain and water views, while the Shonan coast only has sandy beaches."

There is basically no scenery at the seaside, which is far inferior to the rugged mountains and hills.

But this is normal,

One is mainly for playing in the water, and the other needs to meet the viewing requirements.

"Masato-san, can we go play golf?"

"Why, you want to play?"

"Hmm."

Tanaka Eri kept nodding her head, and it seemed that she was extremely eager.

"Okay, if you want to play, let's go buy tickets."

It's just golf, nothing to Masato Takeshita.

"Hey, good!"

Eri Tanaka was very happy and raised her hands excitedly.

Masato Takeshita didn't understand what was so fun about a golf ball.

However, he did not say it out loud to spoil the fun, but just sighed in his heart.

"As expected of the Japanese during the bubble economy, they are really crazy about golf."

During the bubble economy period, the Japanese had an unparalleled passion for golf.

A membership to a high-end golf course costs tens of millions of yen.

The ordinary ones cost tens or millions.

This has given rise to a new economy - speculation in golf course memberships.

Of course, although it is called a new economy, it is actually the same thing in a new form.

The tulips in the Netherlands in the past, the Clivia in China in the near future, and the sneakers and celebrity cards in the future are all similar hype.

Those who get in early make a lot of money, and those who enter later become the ones who take over.

Speaking of hype, in addition to popular sneakers and celebrity cards, the most well-known is probably virtual currency.

Whether it is Bitcoin or Dogecoin, it is a game of pass the parcel.

Everyone thinks that they will not be the last one, and that they can make money and run away.

After arriving at the destination, Eri Tanaka jumped out of the car like a little girl.

"Wow, it's so cool, it's worthy of being a summer resort."

"Eri, it's still spring."

Izumi Sakai couldn't stand her best friend's cheerfulness, so she grabbed her sleeve and complained in a low voice.

Tanaka Eri smiled and waved her hands: "It's almost done. It's already very hot now."
