Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 240 One small step, one big step
Because we had to keep a low profile, and the timing was not right.

When Masato Takeshita came to Beijing this time, he did not choose to stay at the Diaoyutai State Guesthouse, but instead stayed at the newly built International Hotel.

He looked at the girl who was becoming more mature but also a little fragile, and stretched out his right hand to touch her cheek with heartache.

"I've become thinner and prettier."

"Thank you for your hard work these days."

This former secretary of mine has too much business to deal with.

Not only do they have to help Xinghai Group maintain its relationship with universities, but they also have to do their job well at Jiaotong University.

There are too many things to do.

It's like the type of boss who grabs everything at once.

Lin Qingqian shook her forehead gently, and said in a satisfied voice: "No, it's my honor to be able to help."

"How about you quit your university job and help the company with things?"

The girl didn't earn much at Jiaotong University, but she had a lot of work to do.

He hopes that the girl can live an easier life.

"Well, I'll think about it."

Lin Qingqian also discovered that running between the two was not a good thing.

But I really can’t bear to leave the campus job that I have always loved.

Seeing that the girl was somewhat reluctant, Masato Takeshita quickly tried to persuade her while the iron was hot.

"Leave. You will be responsible for the connection between the company and the school at that time."

"You know, this year, the company is going to increase its investment in education in China."

Lin Qingqian raised her head and confirmed: "Increase investment in education?"

The young man nodded and said, "Yes, increase investment in education."

Then he began to tell the girl in detail about his plan to donate to international students.

Xinghai Investment makes too much money, so it must invest and spend it in its own country to shut up the country and the people.

But if you choose to invest, apart from the semiconductor industry, there are no other good projects in the Japanese stock market for the time being.

Masato Takeshita simply invested in education and jointly launched a free study abroad program for foreign students with Waseda University.

To put it simply, young people donate money to Waseda University.

The money will be used to pay for tuition, accommodation and food expenses of overseas students.

Realize free enrollment of foreign students at Waseda University and enhance the international reputation of Waseda University.

Because Xinghai Group's only business is in China, this policy will only be promoted in China for the time being.

Of course, in order to avoid being called a traitor by the Japanese media.

Japan will donate the same number of students as China sponsors.

Lin Qingqian asked happily: "Is this true? Are you lying to me?"

As an exchange student at Waseda University, the girl deeply realized the gap in education between the two countries.

Not only is there a clear gap in teaching staff, but there is also an even greater gap in equipment.

She sincerely hopes that more Chinese students can study abroad and bring advanced foreign knowledge back to China.

"Of course, I can't possibly joke about this. As for the specific number of places, I'm still considering it."

"Besides, I haven't really thought about whether to support studying abroad at schools other than Waseda University."

Waseda University is the alma mater of their team, so naturally young people should help actively expand its reputation.

However, it is not advisable to offend too much public schools such as the University of Tokyo, Kyoto University, and Tokyo Institute of Technology. It is best to have some share.

Lin Qingqian smiled happily, "Is that so? How much money are you prepared to donate?"

"Well, at the beginning, the scale should be a little smaller, maybe 100 billion a year."

Such a small amount of money is just a drop in the bucket for Xinghai Investment, but investment education can silence the gossips.

"Well, that means we have 50 billion."

"Yes, that's roughly the case."

After the girl got an affirmative answer, he did a simple calculation in his mind.

The annual tuition fee for a private university in Tokyo is about 100 million yen, and the living expenses are about 15 yen per month.

The total cost per year is approximately 280 million yen.

Including the round-trip transportation costs, it would cost about 290 million yen.

50 billion yen is enough to support more than 1700 top students to study abroad in private universities in Japan.

For public schools, tuition is even cheaper, only a few hundred thousand yen.

It is a fully public school with a capacity of about 2000 people.

Unfortunately, the president graduated from Waseda University and will definitely not support the all-public study abroad plan.

In this way, even if the share of private universities is lowered, it will only be 1800 people at most.

The number seems large, but each university has one point, and there may be only one place available for each major.

However, the girl is already very satisfied that nearly 2000 people have received funding.

This is a free donation and we can't ask for too much.

After quickly calculating in her mind, Lin Qingqian asked with her head tilted cutely.

"Well, I wonder which subjects you plan to donate to study abroad?"

"Well, three quarters are science and engineering, and one quarter are liberal arts and business."

China is currently in a period of rapid development and is in short supply of all kinds of talents.

But relatively speaking, there is still a greater shortage of talents in science and engineering.

Of course, he also has selfish motives.

Among so many people studying abroad, there must be some who don’t want to return home.

Xinghai Investment can fully rely on its advantage of proximity to recruit this group of outstanding students.

Lin Qingqian pondered for a long time, then she raised her head and said solemnly.

"Okay, I promise you that I will concentrate on helping the company handle domestic university projects in the future."

Masato Takeshita happily held the girl's smooth, white, and slender hand.

"Great."

"I have decided that in addition to the donation from Xinghai Group, I will personally donate another 100 billion."

Although the initial 100 billion was invested by Xinghai Investment, it would be done in the name of Xinghai Group.

This looks more advanced and is more in line with the overall interests of the company.

As for his personal donations, it was mainly to create more amulets.

Tell everyone that I am not a greedy person and I will share the money I earn with the public.

Of course, there will definitely be sour ones.

You earn so much, but you only donate so little.

But it doesn’t matter, as long as some people remember him well.

That's enough!

“Can personal donations sustain it?”

The girl knew that Xinghai Group was very profitable, but she didn't know how much money exactly.

She was very worried that the young man was acting on impulse and might not be able to hold on.

This happens not just for one or two years, but every year.

Masato Takeshita affectionately scratched the girl's small nose.

"Don't worry, I still have enough assets to last a lifetime."

100 billion a year is just a drop in the bucket for him.

We don't even need the most profitable team, Xinghai Investment. Matsumoto Manufacturing alone has dividends of over 10 billion yuan every year.

The girl nodded shyly, "Yeah, that's good."

As the conversation deepened, Masato Takeshita did not deliberately avoid her.

From holding hands at first, to shoulder to shoulder later.

"Don't make trouble, it's itchy."

The girl blushed and knocked away the young man's mischievous right hand.

"hey-hey."

The young man didn't care and continued with his previous unsuccessful action.

"Wait a minute, let's talk business."

Lin Qingqian was a little angry, and her eyebrows were raised beautifully.

Seeing her say this again, the young man knew he couldn't go on, and quickly sat up straight.

"Well, I'm listening, you go ahead."

The girl was satisfied.

Then he asked somewhat embarrassedly, "Besides supporting free study abroad, does our company have any other plans for colleges and universities this year?"

"of course."

Masato Takeshita responded as a matter of course.

Supporting studying abroad has many benefits for the country and individuals.

But for schools, the benefits are not that great.

If Xinghai Group wants to obtain more intellectual resources, it naturally needs to make more donations domestically.

For example, donate more computers and other equipment, or simply help build buildings such as libraries.

"This year, the dividend income from the Shanghai luggage factory will still follow the old rules - all will be donated."

"But please note that from now on, 10% of the team's dividends will be donated to Project Hope, and the rest will be donated to domestic universities."

The Shencheng Luggage Factory has very good profits, with annual dividends of tens of millions of RMB.

Although this money can be used for many things, young people prefer to use it to gain domestic favor and satisfy their own small wishes to help the country's development.

"Ok, I know."

The girl also paid close attention to the Hope Project.

In addition to public donations, anonymous donations were also made.

There was no way. Most of the teachers at Jiaotong University were very poor, and she couldn't donate too much just because she was rich.

Both the teachers and the principal will be embarrassed.

It is better to follow the crowd and donate more money anonymously.

Maybe it’s because we haven’t seen each other for a long time, or maybe it’s because I miss you too much.

For the next few days, the two of them ate and lived together and became very close.

"Are you really leaving today?"

Masato Takeshita hugged the girl from behind, feeling very reluctant to let her go.

"Ah."

Lin Qingqian didn't even raise her head and continued packing her luggage.

The Spring Festival is coming soon, and if I don’t go home, my parents will start to worry.

"After the Chinese New Year, why don't you go back to Japan? The company will reimburse your round-trip airfare."

"No, I may have a lot of work to do here."

There are still many things to do after the New Year and there is simply not enough time.

"Okay, then I'll go to Shencheng to see you after a while."

"casual."

Lin Qingqian, who looked radiant, combed her black hair with a smile, pretending to be nonchalant.

After watching the girl leave, the young man began to get busy.

Today, he will formally pay a visit to the person at the top.

At first, the two of them were just chatting.

Then we talked about Tokyo, Japan.

"Tokyo is really great. I wonder when we can be as prosperous as Tokyo."

"It will be fast. As long as we can seize this semiconductor development, we can catch up quickly."

"By then, the cities in this land will be built to be more beautiful than Tokyo."

The construction of late-developing cities will always be more beautiful.

"Yes, we really can't miss this opportunity."

China has always attached great importance to the development of the semiconductor industry.

In the 90s, when we were still very poor, we made several large investments to launch related projects.

Unfortunately, they all failed in the end due to various problems.

This cannot be blamed on the country's lack of support, it can only be said that fate is playing tricks on us.

For many things, you cannot achieve success just by choosing the right direction.

It depends on the development of the times and historical opportunities.

After talking about semiconductors, the elder asked casually, seemingly nonchalantly.

"Mr. Takeshita, what do you think of Shencheng Pudong?"

Here comes the point.

Masato Takeshita's mind was spinning, thinking carefully about how to respond.

"Well, I think Pudong is a very good place."

"It is close to the most prosperous Puxi area in mainland China and has very good development prospects."

In 1990, China officially began to develop the Pudong area.

This is a continued deepening of opening up to the outside world and a new chapter in China's economy.

From then on, the once poor and backward Pudong area was relocated.

It has become a business card for Shanghai and even the whole of China.

Here alone, the economy surpasses many countries.

Imports and exports, port throughput, etc. are among the best in the world, or even first.

"Oh, Mr. Takeshita is so handsome?"

"Yes, I am very optimistic. I think the future prospects of Pudong are likely to surpass those of Puxi."

The elder never expected that the young man had such strong self-confidence, even more than himself.

This made him feel shocked and gave him more ideas about the future.

Speaking of which, the development of Pudong.

In a sense, it can also be seen as China's development.

In the beginning, Pudong had nothing except a large area of wasteland and farmland.

The government can only provide a few million, but development requires tens of billions.

What if I don't have money?
The leadership group in Shanghai has come up with several clever ideas.

First, establish a development group and then go public.

Use private capital to develop Pudong.

Second, transfer part of the land.

Soon, the Pudong area, which had nothing in the past, began to have skyscrapers representing the city's development.

Third, tax incentives.

This move is very attractive to many foreign-funded factories.

Ultimately, relying on a variety of policies and methods, the once backward Pudong area developed rapidly and became the most economically dynamic place in Shanghai.

Of course, location is also very important.

The special economic zone, backed by the port city, eventually developed into a top first-tier city in China.

With the support of Macau, Zhu Hai eventually developed very well.

Pudong is temporarily lagging behind, but it is part of Shanghai, the largest city in China, and is next to Puxi, the most developed area in Shanghai.

Even without so many superb skills, you can still develop them.

However, people are more important and should be taken equally seriously.

A capable person can significantly shorten this time.

It is obvious that the current leadership team in Shanghai is composed of capable people.

It is because of them that the domestic team has been able to develop so quickly.

In just a few decades, it has grown from a general opponent of the bald eagle to its number one enemy.

Seeing the young man’s confidence, the elder couldn’t help but ask.

"Then I wonder if Mr. Takeshita has ever thought about investing more in Shencheng."

Masato Takeshita did not keep the topic secret and continued, "Our company will have more investment this year."

“For example, food and beverages, and the assembly of some electronic products.”

For electronics factories and the like, it is more appropriate to locate them in China.

Japan's construction costs are too high, making it difficult to compete with South Korea and Taiwan, where wages are lower.

In addition, the semiconductor packaging and testing industry is also very suitable for China.

The biggest cost of packaging and testing is manpower, and China has obvious advantages in this regard.

As long as Xinghai Semiconductor is willing to invest.

Not to mention defeating Taiwan and Malaysia, but it should be no problem to defeat them.

After all, the scale of the packaging and testing industry is still small.

As long as the company can be successfully established in the country, the cost can definitely be lower.
