Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 65 Opportunity is coming
"Junior, you also received the invitation letter, right?"

"Yes, that's right. Didn't Senior Brother receive it as well?"

While responding on the phone, Masato Takeshita subconsciously glanced at the invitation letter on the desk.

"Hehe, that's right."

Ichiro Haneda was very happy. This was the first time he received an invitation to a year-end party from the Inamon clan headquarters.

According to the rules within the academic clique, he has been regarded as a young talent within the Daomen clan.

Then he asked curiously: "Can you tell me where your dinner is?"

Masato Takeshita looked at the invitation to the Inamon clan party in front of him and asked in confusion, "Aren't they all together? Are there different locations?"

"Of course, there are so many people in the Daomen clan. Even if the number of people who can attend the headquarters party is relatively small, one restaurant cannot accommodate them all."

Masato Takeshita thought about the tens of thousands of people graduating from Waseda University every year, and couldn't help but nodded in approval.

"I'm at Tokyo Prince Hotel, where are you?"

"Of course I am also at the Prince Hotel. What I am asking you is which hall you are in."

Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel, the most luxurious hotel in Japan today, is also a landmark building in Tokyo.

However, this is more like a high-end resort club than a hotel.

Because the Shinagawa Prince Hotel not only has 3679 guest rooms and 17 restaurants, but also a series of recreational facilities such as cinemas, concert halls, bowling alleys, indoor tennis, and even an aquarium and an amusement park.

"Oh, I'm in Restaurant 1, what about you?"

"Wow, it's actually the highest-class Restaurant No. 1." Haneda Ichiro exclaimed at first, but soon said proudly: "But I'm not bad either, I'm in Restaurant No. 2."

"Well, I hope that Senior Brother can come to Restaurant No. 1 next year."

Although Masato Takeshita didn't know the ins and outs of the restaurant, he could guess that there was a big difference between Restaurant No. 1 and Restaurant No. 2.

It is estimated that the members of the Inamon clan in Restaurant No. 1 are all presidents and directors of large companies, or well-known politicians and scholars. As for Restaurant No. 2, it should be mostly young talents.

"It's unlikely. I'm already satisfied to be in Restaurant No. 2."

Ichiro Haneda has a clear understanding of himself. The political power behind him is not strong, and his position in the Industrial Bank is not high.

The reason he was able to enter Restaurant 2 this time was because he knew how to stand in line. In the short term, he would not be able to get a ticket to Restaurant 1 for the year-end dinner.

However, Ichiro Haneda is a person who is easily satisfied, so he is not jealous of his junior's outstanding achievements.

"By the way, don't just talk about me, let's talk about you. Aren't you going to buy a house? You can take advantage of this dinner and easily get it."

"I do have this idea, I hope I can find the right one."

As Matsumoto Manufacturing continues to grow, high-end towers are no longer a good option.

He hopes to buy a high-end villa, or if not, a piece of land in a good location.

"I'm sure we can find the right one. He's the king of Japanese real estate."

"Well, let me borrow your good words."

The venue for the Inamon clan’s year-end gathering, Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel, was built by Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, the boss of the Seibu Group, who also graduated from Waseda University.

This illegitimate child who suffered discrimination has extraordinary talent in the real estate field.

He pioneered the hotel complex project.

Karuizawa, Japan's most famous resort, has risen thanks to its comprehensive development.

Later, he also placed this set in Hokkaido, Kasumigaseki, Hakone, and the gathering place, Tokyo Shinagawa Prince Hotel.

It can be said that the rise of Lao Wang in later generations of China can be seen from this man. In addition to the hotel complex project, another interesting story about the stadium can also reflect the wisdom of this legendary boss in the real estate field.

Yokohama wanted to build a civic gymnasium that year, but they had no money.

After hearing about this, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi volunteered and said that as long as the government gave him the operating rights, he would help the government solve the problem without asking for a penny.

His solution was simple: sell advertising.

The stadium cost 20 billion yen to build and had 800 seats after it was completed, so he simply marked each seat at 250 million yen and sold them.

At that time, Japanese TV stations and sponsors were fighting for these seats.

the reason is simple,
Yoshiaki Tsutsumi allowed television stations and sponsors to place advertisements on the seats at will.

250 million yen for a seat may sound like a lot, but the service life is as long as 45 years, and the daily advertising expenditure is only 150 yuan.

If Masato Takeshita were a TV station, he would also rush to buy the product.

It’s really cheap, just the price of a rice ball.

It is also thanks to projects such as Karuizawa Resort, Shinagawa Prince Hotel, and Yokohama Citizens' Gymnasium.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, a senior who made his fortune in real estate, has not yet reached the peak of his life, but he has become a leader in the Japanese real estate industry.

Other bigwigs of the Dao Clan could find excuses not to come, but it would be a bit unreasonable for him, the master, not to be there.

With this real estate tycoon around, Masato Takeshita's housing problem will probably be easily solved.

"Tell me, how many big guys will come this time? Will Senior Hiroshi Yamauchi come?"

Ichiro Haneda loves playing games, so he is very eager to meet this legendary senior who dropped out of school.

"It's probably going to be difficult, and nothing major is going to happen this time."

"That's true. But even if he comes, I won't be able to see him, so it's better this way."

Ichiro Haneda is a real optimist. He was depressed for just a second, but soon he was laughing again.

"Speaking of which, which senior do you want to see the most?"

Masato Takeshita thought for a while and said, "I think it should be Senior Tarui Yasuo. In addition, Seniors Takeshita Noboru and Yamauchi Hiroshi are also seniors that I really want to meet."

If you conducted a questionnaire survey in college in your previous life, asking everyone what industry is the most important in the 21st century?

It is estimated that more than 80% of people would say the computer industry.

Since the invention of computers, mankind has entered the information age. The foundation of information technology is the semiconductor industry, including chips.

Masato Takeshita also wanted to enter this industry, but he couldn't find any talent for the time being. Even if he did, he didn't dare to poach talent from big companies like Toshiba.

In addition, Japanese manufacturers are very closed and employee mobility is very low. Even if he goes to a large company to poach talent, it is difficult to succeed.

Take the example of Fujio Masuoka, the inventor of flash memory chips, who was not valued at Toshiba.

He was indeed not valued by the Toshiba Group, but Yuki Takeishi, director of Toshiba's Semiconductor Technology Institute, was very supportive of him and even used his own scientific research funds to support him.

With this director around, even if Masato Takeshita had the best hoe, he would be unable to dig.

It can be said that the best way for Masato Takeshita to enter the semiconductor industry is to find an industry leader to help him.

And the old senior, Yasuo Tarui, is the key.

Because he is the father of Japanese semiconductors.
