Chapter 464: Investment Team
Masayoshi Kishimoto stood in front of the floor-to-ceiling glass window in the room, his line of sight passing through the entire piece of glass, looking into the distance. Shenzhen, the city that carried the dreams of countless people.
It is a completely different first-tier city from Beijing, Guangzhou, and Shanghai. The latter had been famous and economically powerful for a long time. Shenzhen is a city with a very short history of development.
It was only in January 1979 that Bao’an County was abolished and the city of Shenzhen was established. Shenzhen is one of the most important economic achievements after the reform and opening up. In just twenty years or so, it had already been written into a number of textbooks.
Kishimoto justice recalled his previous life, three days a floor of Shenzhen speed. There is also a saying that the fastest two and a half days a floor. The wages here are so high that those who earn more than ten thousand dollars a month are all over the place.
In fact, the official 2018 economic data released by the Shenzhen government, the people in Shenzhen who earn more than ten thousand dollars a month only account for about 5% of this city.
So, one was particularly curious at the time, how do the remaining 95% of people live? This is still mainly based on the cost of living of up to 6,680 yuan.
Then a comparison of housing prices are often basic tens of thousands of dollars, a little better location to run over 100,000 yuan. Ordinary people who come from all over the country to work here, can they really make money?
Masayoshi Kishimoto was so caught up in his thoughts that he didn’t notice the person behind him. Seeing that there was still some time to go, Yamada Mirai said with complete incomprehension, “My Lord, I have a question that I don’t know whether to ask or not?”
Masayoshi Kishimoto turned his back and said, “If you have something to say, say it.”
“You personally flew all the way from Tokyo, Japan to Shenzhen, China just to invest in a very small company, really let me ……
Granted, you’ve never been wrong, but it’s perfectly fine to wait until after the Bon Festival.” Yamada Mirai harmonized what was on her mind and said.
“Otherwise, how can we show our utmost sincerity? As you said, a small company being looked at by a giant company, what do you think others will think?” Masayoshi Kishimoto calmly said.
“Afraid of being annexed? Or trying to use the opportunity to sell for a good price? Or maybe it’s just not for sale, after all, it’s good proof of the huge potential the company possesses. Otherwise, how could it be targeted by a giant company?” Yamada Mirai said thoughtfully.
“If you would think that way, then others would likewise think that way. My purpose is not to annex this company, but to invest in it. To be precise, to invest in a team.”
Justice Kishimoto didn’t spend money to invest in order to buy computer network instant messaging technology. If one was really interested in this one technology and was optimistic about its development prospects, one could have gone to the United States to buy a better one.
Chinese people generally only use QQ, and even the future will have WeChat and so on. People all over the world are more in favor of MSN, Skype, ins, line and other social platforms such as Facebook, Twitter and so on.
This kind of instant messaging technology, Chinese companies have more or less copied others. The technology doesn’t have much of an edge.
The reason why QQ is able to survive, that is still thanks to the birth of the time, as well as localization of a series of god operation. This has a huge registered user base, which means the formation of a huge market.
Subsequently, it is relatively easy to expand various related businesses based on these registered users. This was what Masayoshi Kishimoto really valued.
Yamada Mirai said with some difficulty, “Team?”
“The establishment of a good startup team is very difficult. It’s very difficult for the core members of this to be able to gather together to be able to screw together.
If we talk about fighting alone, naturally there are better people. However, there are limits to what a single person can do. Team fighting then has unlimited possibilities.
The number of team members can be increased or decreased as necessary depending on the actual situation. People with too much ability are often difficult to integrate into the initial team.
In management science, this situation is called the short-board theory, also known as the barrel effect, the barrel principle. The barrel of water is made of many planks, and the amount of water is determined by these planks together.
If one of the planks is very short, the amount of water is limited by the short plank. The short board becomes the limiting factor in the amount of water in the barrel.
Water will only flow out of the shortest part, not the highest. If you want a wooden barrel to become a bucket and be able to hold water, then you have to make every plank about the same.” Masayoshi Kishimoto spoke eloquently.
Yamada Mirai was not paying much attention to this company in Shenzhen that had a penguin as its logo. Even the intelligence gathered up by the office here did not make a better prediction.
They were only following the Lord’s wishes. Truly if they were to let each of them utilize their initiative and energy, they would never look at it.
“What if this one company is unwilling to accept our investment?” Yamada Mirai made a necessary assumption and said.
“I have my sights set on this company. The conditions offered will naturally be the most generous and unrivaled by any other company I’ve invested in in mainland China.
I’m not setting a bottom line for you. Then again, this company is facing a life-and-death situation, and our presence is as important to them as a life-saving straw.
No matter how taut they are, they will desperately want to grab this life-saving straw in their hearts. I’m sure they won’t put forward any conditions that are too harsh.
The focus of this negotiation is only centered on the company’s personnel rights and the right to speak above. They don’t want to be hollowed out and reduced to a puppet on a string.
If necessary, we can also provide them with a computer network technology support. You go ahead and negotiate, I will stay here and wait for your good news. If there’s any negotiation content or problem that you can’t solve, then call me directly.”
Masayoshi Kishimoto crossed his arms in front of his chest, not intending to personally go out to negotiate. It wasn’t always a good thing for the boss of a multinational corporation to personally appear.
The appearance of the boss was often the result of the people below talking about pretty much everything, waiting for him to finalize the clap and sign off. This was not only a matter of face, but also a matter of personal authority.
Yamada future understood. She herself would certainly not dishonor her mission with the others. The importance of this negotiation was known to her.
Not only that, but she herself would have to properly convey it to the others to know as well, after all, the Lord had spoken words of ambition. It was the first time that she had followed the Lord for so many years.
The most words she had heard him say herself was that investment was not something that had to be had for a thousand dollars. The most important thing about investment is to look at the return on investment.
