Chapter 025: Angel Investment
A few days later, Masayoshi Kishimoto left his home with the large shoulder bag he had been carrying for the trip and headed to Haneda International Airport. Before he left, he naturally did not forget to inform Rie Sakai at home that he was leaving.
Kishimoto Masayoshi not only didn’t get the words of a safe trip from the other party, but her face was clearly showing her displeasure, wishing that the flight he was traveling on would have some kind of accident while flying over the Pacific Ocean, and would directly crash into the sea to feed the sharks.
From this, he sighed deeply inwardly, that saying is right, it is better to offend the villain, not to offend the woman. Once a woman’s heart is small, even if she doesn’t hate you for life, she can ignore you for days.
Masayoshi Kishimoto, who arrived at the airport two hours ahead of time, had to go through all the procedures before boarding the plane. Fortunately, in his hand is the RB passport, go to the United States is visa-free, there is a said to be able to go on a long trip.
Masayoshi Kishimoto sat on a chair in the waiting hall, with his shoulder bag on the left side of the chair.
He turned sideways to unzip one of the zippers of the shoulder bag, and took out Junichiro Tanizaki’s long novel “Fine Snow” from it.
Whether waiting for a flight or sitting inside an airplane during a trip, there was no better way to pass the time than reading a book. The book “Fine Snow” was relatively thick, and was perfectly capable of sustaining itself until one flew to San Francisco, United States.
Snow is Junichiro Tanizaki’s most iconic work and his greatest achievement at the height of his writing. Haruki Murakami, who had not won the Akutagawa Prize, won this one, the Junichiro Tanizaki Literary Prize, which is recognized as a stalwart writer of RB, and then gradually made him famous and highly regarded.
Yukiko, the third, is a relative of Murakami throughout the book, and the title of the book is taken from her character “Yuki”. The fourth, Myoko, the youngest in the Kansai region of RB, is also known as Hoso, which seems to be similar to the name used in the southern region of Minnan, China, and is named after the character “Hoso”.
Junichiro Tanizaki’s idea of marriage values naturally praises Yukiko, a traditional woman, but inadvertently makes Myoko, who pursues free love and gets pregnant before marriage, the foreseen trend in future real-life relationships between men and women.
This unintentionally misplaced idea is similar to that of Lev Tolstoy’s Anna? Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina. Karenina, the writer’s own perception of the heroine Anna in the minds of readers is contrary to the writer’s own perception of the heroine Anna in the minds of readers.
Lev Tolstoy’s Anna Karenina is the opposite of the writer’s own perception of the heroine Anna. Tolstoy is to Anna this kind of woman is contemptuous, the human being, but in the readers’ mind to Anna is full of sympathy.
After Justice Kishimoto boarded the plane, he first put away his luggage, then turned around and sat down to continue reading Junichiro Tanizaki’s long novel “Fine Snow”.
He had made this trip in person to Stanford University in San Francisco to meet Sergei? Brin and his partner Larry? Page.
They are the founders of Google. Only now they are still in the dormitory tinkering with a search engine that has not seen much success.
All world-changing ideas always start with an idea that seems absurd to outsiders. That’s where Facebook came from.
Why did Zuckerberg create Facebook by chance in the first place, is not because he failed to pick up women’s anger to begin with.
Facebook company was founded in February 4, 2004, now Zuckerberg is still a child, has not yet suffered a huge blow in the university failed to pick up girls, is only to find him in vain at the moment.
However, Google’s founding time is in September 4, 1998, but also because of this detailed time of their own knowledge, is to let him move from Tokyo to fly to San Francisco where the driving force.
Masayoshi Kishimoto knew that the two of them to get this project, later will become the world’s largest search engine company, the market value in twenty years will be as high as 800 billion U.S. dollars.
He himself was just one step ahead of the others to approach them first, thus making an angel investment in their project. His problem was not whether he could find them, but how to convince the two to accept his angel investment of 100,000 dollars, as well as signing a formal contract in duplicate.
This time, Masayoshi Kishimoto wouldn’t make the same terms and conditions as he had signed with NCsoft MMO Tatsu Kanazawa. He will pay special attention to a clause that he will never concede, the priority of additional investment.
Masayoshi Kishimoto himself is fully able to speak a mouthful of standard and fluent American English, and that is thanks to the fact that he has studied in a relatively advanced university.
Otherwise, even if he knew that there is such a possibility exists, but also can not help, after all, will make both sides of the communication above the obstacle, everything will become a donkey’s mouth.
Finding an interpreter or something like that would be complete nonsense. At this time, there can be a few people understand what is called search engine.
Even if the search engine how good, how convenient …… can not be convincing, is simply to give people a sense of pie in the sky. The only people who know how to communicate together, then there will not be words do not talk more than half of the situation appeared.
“Excuse me, is this book good for you?” A man in the airplane took off two, three hours later, still saw him beside Kishimoto Masayoshi is very engaged in reading a book, so he could not help but ask a question.
Masayoshi Kishimoto put down the book in front of him slightly, turned sideways, and said very politely, “It’s not bad!”
“Are you also going to San Francisco, USA?” The man ventured a completely un-nutritious remark.
Masayoshi Kishimoto was able to understand this kind of nonsense from him as an exchange. If you’re not going to San Francisco on a direct flight from Tokyo, is it hard to believe that you’re still able to go to New York?
“Yes… I’m going to the San Francisco Bay Area.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said truthfully.
“What a coincidence, I’m also going there. Getting acquainted, my humble name is Masayoshi Yanai, and this is my business card.” The man first extended his right hand to shake the other party’s hand, then he took out the box of business cards that he carried with him, from which he also pulled out one and handed it out with both hands, saying.
Masayoshi Kishimoto placed the book on top of his legs, and while receiving the card with both hands, the name “Masayoshi Yanai” appeared in his mind as a familiar name.
As soon as he placed the card in front of his eyes, he immediately realized who the other party was. He was lucky to have met the founder of Uniqlo.
In the 2018 Top 500 World Brands list, Uniqlo ranked 168th. As soon as Masayoshi Kishimoto thought of this, his instinctive reaction to wanting to make an investment was to make one in his currently unknown company.
“Sorry, I forgot to bring my business card.” Masayoshi Kishimoto apologized without telling a lie.
“It’s fine.” Yanai Masayoshi smiled.
“I’m sure your trip is a business trip!” Masayoshi Kishimoto exchanged more words in order to deepen the impression between them with a purpose.
“Businessmen are supposed to be running around and flying around in a laborious life. Are you traveling?” Yanai Zheng said with an unchanged smile.
“No, I’m going to Stanford University to meet two friends.” Masayoshi Kishimoto said with a mixture of truth and falsehood.
