Rebirth Tokyo 1986

Chapter 68: Continue Betting
"Oh, it's Takeshita-san. He's a super new guy at Waseda. I must meet him."

"Hello, I'm Fumu Yokota from Nagashin Bank."

Fumu Yokota has a high degree of favorability towards Masato Takeshita.

On the one hand, it is to give face to Toyoshima Akio, and on the other hand, it is also to hope that Masato Takeshita can take care of his younger generations in the future.

Like Akio Toyoshima, he is only an executive director of a giant company and does not have his own company.

"Brother Yokota, you're too polite. I'm just lucky."

"This is not luck."

Yokota Fumu shook his head, not quite agreeing with what Takeshita Masato said.

Then he smiled and said, "Besides, it's just luck. From observing Matsumoto Manufacturing, I can see that Takeshita-san is very capable in business management. In the future, it will be difficult for Matsumoto Manufacturing to lose its position as the leader in the suitcase industry."

Fumu Yokota and Akio Toyoshima are good friends, so he pays more attention to Masato Takeshita's development than others. He often complains during their dinners that Akio Toyoshima is lucky.

He is also a director of a large bank, so why doesn't he have the luck to come across such a grateful company?

Toyoshima Akio followed up and said, "Brother Yokota is right. There is no need to be too modest."

"Takeshita-san has done a great job in the development of Matsumoto Manufacturing. Not only me and Yokota-san, but many seniors who graduated from Waseda University also recognize your management."

"Including Senior Ibuka from Sony and Senior Yoshiaki Tsutsumi from Seibu."

The most famous person in Sony is Akio Morita, who is also the president of Sony. But in fact, the real founder of Sony is Masaru Ibuka.

It is thanks to Ibuka's efforts that Sony has been able to stand out in technology.

However, Ibuka Masaru was a scientific researcher and was not very interested in production and management, so he handed over the position of Sony's president to the more extroverted Akio Morita.

As for Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, there is no need for much either.

He is the biggest contributor to the development and growth of the Seibu Group. He is also the current richest man in Japan and will be the richest man in the world in the future.

At its peak, his total wealth was worth over $1600 billion and he owned one-sixth of the land in Japan.

Unfortunately, the land is the reason for both success and failure.

After the bubble economy burst, the Seibu Group was dragged down by the land and had to keep selling off its corporate assets.

But even so, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and Yoshiaki Tsutsumi will still retain the very profitable Seibu Railway business in the future.

"Oh, really? It's my pleasure."

Masato Takeshita was very happy to be recognized by these two people.

They are all legendary figures, destined to leave a glorious mark in history.

Especially Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, he will be remembered by the whole world because of Japan's bubble economy.

Although his reputation is not very good, he basically plays negative roles.

But this is also engraved in history, and is something that countless people envy.

"Of course, especially Senior Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, he really approves of you."

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's internal corporate philosophy is that he would rather employ talentless slaves than hand over the company to smart people.

Because he feels that no one knows real estate better than himself.

But outside of the business world, he still admires innovative talents.

Because he himself is a person who likes innovation, and they have a mutual admiration for each other, his liking for Masato Takeshita has greatly increased.

"I see, are Toyoshima-senpai and Tsutsumi Yoshiaki-senpai familiar with each other?"

"Of course, the relationship between real estate and banks will always be the closest."

Real estate is a heavy capital for big money, so it is often necessary to go to the bank for loans. In the past, when Chinese real estate developers went bankrupt, many banks were screwed. "I wonder if Senior Toyoshima can introduce me to a villa. I want to buy a villa, and the current house is not suitable."

"No problem, do you need a loan?"

Toyoshima Akio agreed very decisively. Introducing two people to each other was just a small matter.

Besides, even if he didn't introduce them, judging from Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's previous attitude, he would take the initiative to chat with Masato Takeshita tonight.

"No, I plan to buy the house in full and then mortgage it directly for a loan."

Nowadays, it is very easy to get a mortgage loan in Japan, and you can often get a loan share of more than 100%. Compared with the installment payment model, the full payment and loan model is more profitable.

"Okay, that's better."

Toyoshima Akio didn't care at all what form of loan Masato Takeshita took out, as long as his junior took out the loan.

As a director, he has no shortage of loan business, but many of his subordinates are now worried about loans.

"Brother, you can't neglect one thing while focusing on another. I can also provide you with a large loan."

"No problem. After the new year, I plan to take out 10% of Matsumoto Manufacturing's shares and apply for loans from your two banks."

Masato Takeshita was ready to continue betting big on the Japanese stock market to make more money so that he would have the funds to enter the semiconductor industry.

The investment in the semiconductor industry is even greater than that in real estate. Without a huge amount of funds, it is impossible to play. If you don't make more money during the heyday of the Japanese stock market, there will be no such good opportunities in the future.

In fact, if he was a little more indulgent, even without using leverage, Masato Takeshita could have done a lot of tricks in the stock industry.

The simplest way is to keep mortgaging the purchased stocks until there is no more loan left.

In this way, Masato Takeshita can use the 600 billion yen capital to leverage a larger market and earn more profits.

This is also the basic way of playing for many hedge funds, walking on a tightrope.

But hedge funds are other people's money, and Masato Takeshita's money is his own, so naturally he can't play so recklessly.

This method will only appear when he sets up a hedge fund in the future and uses other people's money to play stocks.

And he would not only use stocks as collateral for mortgage loans, but also use leverage.

When you spend other people’s money, you have to be generous.

Of course, Takeshita Masato is familiar with the future economic trend. Even if he plays with mortgage stocks and leverage, it is difficult to suffer losses.

He was just worried about the butterfly effect, which was why he was so careful with his own funds.

"Well, you are worthy of being Takeshita-san, you are so generous."

Yokota Fumu was so happy at this time. He didn't expect to have such a good harvest.

Industrial Bank is troubled by lending, and so is Changxin Bank. The problem is even more serious because Changxin Bank is slightly smaller.

"You're lucky, you're lucky."

Toyoshima Akio was a little depressed. He shouldn't have given this guy the chance to get close to him.

"Well, I got the upper hand this time. I'll organize a party one day and treat everyone to a meal."

Yokota Fumu didn't care and shook the red wine in the glass with a smile.

"You're too polite, Yokota-senpai. You don't have to be like this."

Masato Takeshita had already taken the multi-bank route, such as the huge loan from Citibank.

He doesn't want to be completely tied to Industrial Bank.

That's why he agreed so readily when Fumu Yokota asked.
