Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 429 If I were Mr. Ueda, I would be very angry

The investment fund that    and Rana Onodera talked about was prepared for this.

   Now, it's time to act again.

After hearing Stevenson's affirmative answer, Tao Zhiming said: "The total capital of Onodera Wealth is now just over 1 trillion yen. After the middle of this year, I will select the most trusted customers from our customers. Come out and set aside 1 billion yuan to set up this overseas-based investment fund."

   To put it bluntly, this money was not taken out by himself, but the money raised by Onodera Fortune from customers, and it was operated independently in the United States.

  Stevenson looked at him meaningfully: "So, won't your Onodera wealth be attributed to that three friends consortium?"

Tao Zhiming sighed: "Mr. Stevenson, when Neon's stock market opens and falls, I will also affect the investment income of Onodera's wealth and exacerbate the debt crisis of Neon Bank. There will be a trough first, and then it will become a thriving star. Only the existence of our new consortium can help build a better image for our new consortium. Therefore, now is not a good time."

   "It also makes sense." Stevenson still didn't give up, "Then apart from the investment fund you mentioned, at least other cooperations, can we establish it first?"

"That's what I said about deploying video discs. In addition, don't we already have cooperation in TV Tokyo, Kashima's TVB and ATV? After the capital increase and reorganization of Sanyou Investment Bank, if you come in first, Then it will also indirectly participate in other companies under my umbrella.”

  The words have been said by him like this, Stevenson still has important things to do with him, so he didn't continue to dwell on these details.

After    said that he would discuss these matters with others, Stevenson finally asked: "Mr. Tao mentioned Hongsu before, do you have any ideas?"

Tao Zhiming said with a smile: "If it was just me, my thinking would probably just be to see if there would be a chance to make some money from the financial market in the future. I don't know what their reforms will be like now, but as long as there is a big There should be opportunities for change.”

   Now there is only a change there, and there are discussions about reform.

   At this moment, who could have imagined that there would be a split and a complete collapse within two years?

   So Tao Zhiming said it very vaguely. Anyway, it was arranged in advance, and there was always something that could be done.

   Seeing Stevenson smiling but not speaking, Tao Zhiming took the initiative to ask, "Mr. Stevenson, is there any plan that I can participate in?"

   "Everyone is still watching, how can there be any plans. As you said, we still don't know what they will reform into."

  Tao Zhiming acted a little disappointed, and then said: "I understand, then, I will concentrate on the neon thing first."

  The neon thing is done, let these vultures taste some meat, and they can always be borrowed later.

  Tao Zhiming knew very well how Hongsu used shock therapy at the back.

   The most important thing about coming to the United States took Tao Zhiming two days.

   I spent the night at this winery. I had a good impression in the morning, and Tao Zhiming met a lot of big people in the evening.

   He only sticks to his bottom line. After all, in a situation where Neon can be managed by him, Tao Zhiming has a lot of chips in his hands.

  For these capital gluttons, everything is nothing more than reckoning. If Tao Zhiming can bring them more than expected benefits, then he is naturally the best partner.

   For such a huge cooperation, they have a lot of things to communicate within the consortium, and they also have a lot of details to confirm with Tao Zhiming.

   So naturally, I stayed at the winery for an extra day.

  If you want to keep him, you can't just talk about things all the time, and of course you have to cultivate feelings.

   So in the evening, luxury cars drove to the winery again, and Tao Zhiming saw many familiar faces again.

  The clothes are not as good as the newcomers. In front of these people, Tao Zhiming is not too presumptuous. And since he had a relationship with Cindy Crawford before, Tao Zhiming simply stuck with her at the party.

   In this meeting, Tao Yaren had to admit that Tao Zhiming could always be calm and normal.

  Whether it was seeing himself or Stevenson and the others.

   Seeing how he gradually became more and more familiar with these big figures in the United States, Tao Yaren was very puzzled.

   Obviously, he came to "seek peace" with the opinions of big figures in neon politics.

  Why does he always have such a strong heart?

  …

  Tao Zhiming has a very ordinary heart for these capital gluttons, but he is very sincere about what he wants to do.

   picked up Zhao Yuanxi who came from Fragrant Island. After flying to Dallas, the two rushed to a hotel, where they waited for the person they wanted to see.

   They don't live here. The one who lives here temporarily is Zhang Rujing, an engineer who rushed back to the Texas Instruments headquarters for a meeting.

   Sitting in the small cafe of this ordinary business hotel, Tao Zhiming took off his sunglasses and put them on the table, and looked out the window in a relaxed manner.

   "Is it early? Who knows when he will have a meeting?"

  Tao Zhiming glanced at him: "Is there anything else you need to do?"

   "...That's not it. Just sitting here and waiting?"

   "Then what do you want to do?"

   Zhao Yuanxi said strangely: "This is not a Fragrant Island, and there are no outsiders. What are you talking about with a gun and a stick, and who will you show it to?"

  Tao Zhiming just laughed and said, "I'm probably in a good mood, I'll tease you."

Although Stevenson and the others have not given a final answer yet, since Tao Zhiming can already hold the banner of neon politics and consortiums against them, and can go back to hold the banner of the big capitals of the United States, the goal has been achieved. .

   Zhao Yuanxi's side also performed well in Xiangdao.

   At this moment, Tao Zhiming has revealed quite a lot in front of Tao Yaren:

   To help Mitsui to participate in the acquisition of Columbia Pictures, this part comes to 1.5 billion yuan.

   To help Sumitomo and Mitsui start the plan to develop the land in Shiodome into Kagura Town, this part will invest 150 billion yen together with Kinoshita Hidefu.

   In the reorganization of Sanyou Investment Bank, a total of 30% of the shares held by Sumitomo and Mitsui will be acquired. Based on the past performance of Sanyou Investment Bank, Tao Zhiming will acquire a total of 30% of the shares plus another 90 billion yen. Coupled with the capital increase of Sanyou Investment Bank to 200 billion yen, Tao Zhiming has to take out another 45 billion yen according to the total 45% of the shares he holds.

  To complete the order of the Oyalt royal family, Nei Tao Zhiming has to advance more than 700 million yuan in advance this year.

  These things, coupled with the construction investment of the Tokyo Yachting Home Port this year, Tao Zhiming had to prepare more than 5 billion meters for Neon.

   On the bright side, Tao Zhiming obviously couldn't come up with so much money, so he could only find a way to raise funds. Just now, the financing is also covered by the "Kaguracho" plan. Tao Zhiming can expand the scale of debt through Changxin Bank and other financial institutions.

   And since the Tao family is still the creditor of Tao Zhiming's 1.5 billion yuan, it is natural to see Tao Zhiming's debts pile up. At least the Tao family's 1.5 billion yuan will always be repaid first, which Tao Ya people have this confidence.

   Fortunately, people like Tao Yaren, the core bosses of top consortiums such as Mitsui, Sumitomo, and Mitsubishi, are very aware of the risks of Neon Real Estate. They understand Tao Zhiming's selling of real estate a little earlier.

   It is clear that he can earn more, and he will not be able to sell it until the end of the year or even next year, but Tao Zhiming has already begun to sell real estate, which is the proof that he has to concentrate his financial resources to promote the construction of the Sanyou Consortium.

   Selling the land of WanderDance to Mitsui can raise 1.5 billion yuan; if the golf course in Hokkaido is sold to Tsutsui Yoshiaki, it can raise 80 billion yen. The remaining scattered residential real estate, Tao Zhiming is still in his hands, and he has a feeling that he will wait until it rises a little more and sells a little more.

  The matter has been pushed to this stage, and the lack of funds is very large and has to sell some assets. It is not for these chess players, but for chess pieces like Watanabe Kitaro who are still awake.

  Kashima naturally has such pieces.

  Tao Zhiming now has to figure out which of the big families on Xiangdao have the qualifications to watch the chess game, and those who are purely in the game.

   "There's nothing left or right, let's talk about Xiangdao." Tao Zhiming asked, "Have you heard anything from the rest of Xiangdao about the information we talked on the plane?"

   "Not yet." Zhao Yuanxi said, "People just know that you are a little dissatisfied with me now. After all, you scolded me like Siyuan Chip."

   "I don't know that Silicon Chip will have to invest 500 million Hong Kong dollars this year, and I want to invest in Columbia Pictures?"

"...I said, since you've slept with someone else, you don't have to try her this way, right?" Zhao Yuanxi didn't understand very well, "She's only thinking about how to change the Huo family's house, at most she'll just go there again. Buy and buy things. I took a few copies of the script and asked her for her opinion, she said to wait for you. This woman is not stupid, why would she shout such a big business secret everywhere? "

"I see people's hearts after a long time. Since no one in Xiangdao knows that I am going to pay for the acquisition of Columbia Pictures, her impression in my heart has become better. What's wrong with that?" Tao Zhiming didn't care, " Then what do you want to know about the 1% stake in the Pantao Club to raise money?"

"This is also a bit stupid." Zhao Yuanxi bluntly said, "The industry in Xiangdao is not very profitable, how much can I get? Since others know it, you know that I have to raise money from outside, don't you suspect that you are this? Test my loyalty to see if someone will borrow me to meddle in your affairs?"

   "I haven't raised it yet?" Tao Zhiming asked with a smile.

   Zhao Yuanxi shook his head: "I told Li Ju that since I've asked him to borrow it, I won't ask anyone else to borrow it. He told me that he is still raising money."

Tao Zhiming took a sip of coffee, and then said, "It depends on the purpose of whether it is stupid or not. You are a prince of Xiangdao on my side. Let me test what happened to you? Isn't this a good way to test and appease? Now I don’t know how many people think of me as a shareholder in the Pantao Club, wanting to find out the details of me.”

He sharpened his eyes and said: "If the Li family cooperated with me sincerely, they would not make some inexplicable demands on you. If they knew that I was short of money, they would talk to me directly. What I need to see is their reaction. ."

   "You asked me to tell him that he has to answer me before the 10th, or I'll find another way to see, is there any purpose?"

Tao Zhiming nodded: "It's just to get stuck before I leave the United States. When I leave the United States, I will also get accurate responses from these consortia in the United States. If the two sides happen to give me answers at about the same time, it will explain some problems. ."

   "… twist and turn."

   "No way, after all, it's not easy to face people!"

   Tao Zhiming sighed with emotion, at this moment, Tao Ya people are indeed listening respectfully to their meeting.

"This is the previous share allocation of Sanyou Investment Bank: Sumitomo 40%, Mitsui 25%, Tao Dalang 15%, Kinoshita Xiufeng 8%, Morijia 8%, Ueda Masahiro 4%. The reorganization is divided into two steps. First, Tao Dalang pays the money, Spend 90 billion yen to buy 15% from Sumitomo and Mitsui respectively. Followed by a capital increase of 100 billion yen, Tao Dalang provided an additional 45 billion yen in order to maintain 45% of the shares, while Iwasaki Ryunosuke invested 20 billion yen, accounting for 20 billion yen. 10%. The remaining 35 billion yen will account for 17.5% if we invest in it.”

"In this case, the shareholding ratio becomes: Tao Dalang 45%, ours 17.5%, Sumitomo 12.5%, Iwasaki Ryunosuke 10%, Mitsui 5%, Kinoshita Xiufeng and Mori's 4% respectively, Ueda's 2% ."

Jamie Dimon analyzed: "The proportion of shares we can influence is at most 10% of Iwasaki Ryusuke's and 4% of Mori's family, so the total is only 31.5%, not more than one-third. If it is according to 20% of the 20% he promised, then it will reach 34%, effectively influencing important decisions!"

  Stevenson smiled: "Is it carefully designed, until the plan is pushed to that point, so that we are willing to pay a higher price to get the remaining 2.5%?"

   "Yaren, among Tao Dalang's 45%, this time the extra 30% is held by that BravoPeach. Has he told you about BravoPeach's current shareholding composition?"

  Tao Yaren shook his head: "I didn't say it. All I know is that he promised him a total of 2% of the shares of the president of Xiangdao Company. Even if we can control that Zhao Yuanxi in the end, it doesn't matter."

   "You said he needs to rely on that Zhao Yuanxi now, but he's a little wary?"

"What I'm going to say next is just my personal judgment." Tao Yaren thought about it and talked about the advice Li Jiacheng gave him, "At least according to Zhao Yuanxi, BravoPeach now has only three shareholders: Tao Dalang, Ueda Xana and Zhao Yuanxi. Judging from this information, Tao Dalang will not be sincerely wary of Zhao Yuanxi."

   "There are only three in total?" Stevenson clicked his tongue, "I just don't know how much the Ueda family accounts for."

Tao Yaren nodded and said, "Just looking at the Uedian family's ignorance of Tao Dalang's presumptuous behavior on women, the proportion should not be low. If there are enough interests, these things will be ignored. Therefore, I think it is unnecessary to focus on the goal only. On Zhao Yuanxi. Before Tao Dalang, the relationship between the Ueda family and the Mori family was closer. Tao Zhiming's roots in Neon started from Kinoshita Xiufeng and the Ueda family. Now that we are planning to enter this framework, in fact, apart from Tao Dalang, Others, we can all try to influence."

   "How to do it, talk about your strategy?"

   Tao Ya's spirit was lifted, and he thought that Li Jiacheng's insight was really unusual.

   He said solemnly: "First of all, we must promote this plan and make Sanyou Investment Bank truly become a consortium. We can directly control 20% of the shares, which is more than 17.5%, and it is also in our interests."

Seeing that they were all noncommittal, Tao Yaren continued to bite the bullet and said: "In this process, we can also influence Sumitomo and Mitsui, so that they can give us the right to speak, at least part of the interest in the Sanyou Consortium, That's probably more than 40%. There are many ways, through changes in the shareholding structure, or by placing directors on our side."

  Jamie Dimon took a slap and nodded.

"Then there is the Mori family!" Tao Yaren continued, "Iwasaki Ryunosuke is doing his best to repair the relationship with the Mori family, and the Mori family's Roppongi Hills plan will be greatly affected by us in the future, so it is easy to make compromises. ."

   The progress of the Roppongi Hills plan is much slower than Mogami Bliss, which has the full support of Sumitomo and Mitsui. This is not only because in the death of Iwasaki Kuranosuke, the behavior of the Mori family's jumping back made Mitsubishi very upset, but the main reason is that the Mori family damaged the gains of Mitsubishi in the entire national railway reform.

   Of course, there are also reasons why the Mori family is more shrewd and unwilling to start investing and building at the peak of the neon real estate bubble under the condition of many constraints.

Tao Yaren explained some of these antecedents and said: "Now the Mori family is focusing on the layout of overseas assets. In these aspects, they are more likely to rely on us. Once the Mori family is willing to stand on our side, then the It’s time for the Ueda family. Although the Ueda family only accounts for 2% of the Sanyou consortium, they actually indirectly hold some shares through BravoPeach, maybe more than the Mori family.”

   "They have such a close relationship, how can the Ueda family be willing to support us?"

"This is about the Tao Group of the Fragrant Island." Tao Yaren analyzed, "According to the current information, a very large part of Tao Dalang's profits in the BravoPeach system is now invested in Fragrant Island. There , Tao Dalang has invested a lot of money. In addition to the earliest established trading companies, film and video companies, and magazine companies, there is now a film and television city, a yacht resort, and a semiconductor foundry. In addition, there are OOCL, Shares in TVB and Asia TV. It is reported that this year is also planning to invest in a film production company.”

"The most important thing is: at present, Tao Dalang's entire Dow Group in Xiangdao is in a period of huge investment, and has not yet produced an overall return. In the entire Dow Group, BravoPeach's share is not much, only 25%, Tao Dalang Individuals account for 65%, and Zhao Yuanxi accounts for 10%." Tao Yaren said with a smile, "BravoPeach made money in Neon, but Tao Dalang operated a lot of money and invested a lot of money in Xiangdao, which affected Ueda. family interests."

  Stevenson understood and commented with a smile: "Also, is he still very presumptuous when it comes to women?"

"That's right. The sons of Tao Dalang and Ueda Xana were adopted by Ueda Masahiro as their heirs. Although the relationship between the two seems to be inseparable, now it seems that it is more and more like a transaction!" Everyone teased, "You don't know, Tao Dalang has recently fallen infatuated with a beauty pageant champion in Xiangdao, and he has spent a lot of money on her. The mansion of more than 3 million yuan was easily bought. It's a treasure in the golden house."

  Stevenson sighed: "If I were Mr. Ueda, I would be very angry if I heard about it."
