Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 394 Showing weakness and digging a pit

  Tao Zhiming, Lu Yan and Qiu Shuzhen came to Jinlong Cuisine with Lu Yan and Qiu Shuzhen, and naturally there was no need for Katsuna to wait by the side.

   Across from Tao Ya and Lu Yan, Qiu Shuzhen sat next to Tao Zhiming.

   "Although I didn't go to the scene, I just watched TV here, congratulations, Dalang."

   Qiu Shuzhen was stunned, she couldn't understand what the Tao Ya person next to Mrs. Li said.

Tao Zhiming on the side smiled modestly: "This event is just to give Mogami Bliss a chance to attract attention. As for the event itself, it can only be done to this extent. It will cost a lot more money tomorrow, please All kinds of media help to say more good things and praise it."

   "Dalang is humble." Tao Yaren looked at Lu Yan and said, and put on English, "Mrs. Li has also seen many fashion shows, right? What's your comment?"

Only now did Qiu Shuzhen know that they were talking about the previous fashion festival, and only heard Mrs. Li reply: "Although it is limited by the environment of the venue, after the real start, the lighting and T-stage effects, and the music are also very good. Style. This fashion show planned by Mr. Tao is very characteristic of Tokyo. Will it be held every year in the future?"

   "It is planned to be held twice a year." Tao Zhiming simply spoke English, "The positioning is the fashion of the season, and it is aimed at ordinary people. It is not so high-end and avant-garde. I laughed."

"It should achieve very good results." Tao Zhiming began to bring the topic to the main business, "At least, everyone has seen the scene of Mogami Kekakucho today, which is indeed a very cultural and pleasant place. Two or three weeks of publicity, will there be pre-sale in the middle of next month?"

   "Yes." Tao Zhiming looked at Lu Yan and Qiu Shuzhen, and said with a smile, "If Mrs. Li and Miss Qiu think Mogami Bliss has investment value, they can also consider purchasing a house."

   Qiu Shuzhen was very excited, but where did she get so much money? The housing prices in Tokyo are several times higher than the current Kashima.

  Lu Yan said meaningfully: "Of course I have no problem, but Azhen has just made her debut. If she wants to buy real estate in Tokyo, she still needs the help of President Tao."

  Tao Zhiming happily noncommittal, Qiu Shuzhen cleverly toasted him: "Brother Tao, I hope you will give me a chance. No matter what role it is, I will try my best to play it well!"

   "Ms. Qiu is deeply liked by Mrs. Lee. Of course, Miss Qiu is able to capture the TV series produced by TVB."

Tao Yaren saw the interaction between the two of them, and his eyes were full of smiles: "Dalang, now I have persuaded Kitagawa to transfer Johnny's Office to your WanderStar, your layout in the entertainment industry is getting bigger and bigger, you really need to Think carefully about the media industry. Mrs. Lee also made a special trip here, do you have a decision now?"

   Tao Zhiming put down the glass first and pondered.

   Of course, Lu Yan and Qiu Shuzhen only talked about the transfer of a mere 3% of the shares of TVB.

   But Tao Zhiming knew that the answer Tao Yaren wanted was the big plan he said before.

   Including the 1 billion yuan loan of the Tao family, including the subsequent active promotion in the trust charitable fund and the Tokyo sub-city center, as well as the control plan around the Neon Economic News Agency and its subsidiary TV Tokyo.

   Tao Zhiming did not refuse, but was delighted.

   Because they all misestimated Tao Zhiming's real financial strength. At present, the net debt ratio of Tao Zhiming's companies is indeed not high. After all, Neon's real estate market is still rising. Although Tao Zhiming lent more than 650 billion yen from the consortium bank in one go, he also had 550 billion yen in bank bonds.

   And the real estate held under the name of Tao Zhi is not considered by Forbes to be worth more than 1 billion yuan? Only this part of the real estate can cover this part of the liability amount.

   But this time, he borrowed another 1 billion yuan, and then he really won the land in Odaiba as soon as possible, and if he took the initiative to participate in the construction of the Fudoshin residential project, his net debt ratio would be greatly improved.

  Although the current negotiation is that the repayment period is 5 years, the Tao family also promised not to ask for early repayment within 5 years, but it is a rope after all.

  Although Tao Yaren hinted, the real purpose of this plan is to harvest the last batch of players who enter the real estate field before the collapse of the neon economy. However, Tao Zhiming thought that he would not think that, with his own wisdom, he would worry that the Tao family would break the contract and demand early repayment.

   Therefore, his hesitant expression is very real to Tao Yaren: "Dalang, what else is there to worry about?"

Tao Zhiming's hesitation was just for him to see. Hearing this, he replied with a smile: "I have too much debt, and I feel uneasy. And the wireless station's profitability is also average, even if you don't look at dividends, the last two weeks. , the stock market in various places is also quite turbulent, rice stocks and fragrant stocks are both falling, I am worried that the bull market in recent years will end, so the value of the shares will not be guaranteed."

   "...Does Tao Jun worry that I am going to cash out the shares at a high point?" Lu Yan asked in surprise.

"Of course it doesn't mean that. The proposal that Yarenjun made to me actually moved me very much. However, the recent stock market trend is not right. I'm thinking...give me a week to think about it." Tao Zhiming He said solemnly to Tao Yaren, "Jun Yaren, please understand that this matter is indeed a very important decision for me, and I also need to seriously evaluate my funds and assets!"

   The more hesitant he behaves, the more he will convince the Touya people that their financial situation is already strained. Although the extra 1 billion yuan of low-interest loans is very delicious, the newly proposed big plan does make Tao Zhiming very worried about the increase of uncontrollable factors.

"Of course I understand what Dalang said." Tao Yaren said after a pause, "Well, on the Xiangdao side, I heard that Dalang has also planned a lot of investment. I am willing to help Dalang with the projects over there. Lang persuade Mr. Li and the others, so that the pressure on Dalang will not be so great."

  Tao Zhiming was surprised on the surface: "Li Gongzi and I made an appointment to meet tomorrow morning, saying that his father had a preliminary plan, and I still don't know the conditions of the Li family..."

  Tao Ya replied indifferently: "No matter what kind of conditions the Li family gives Dalang, I can let the Li family get a discount of about 10% on the basis of the conditions you have negotiated."

   Qiu Shuzhen couldn't help shaking her heart, who was this Taoya person next to Mrs. Li? Listening to the previous conversation, he has a very close relationship with Tao Zhiming, and he also values ​​Tao Zhiming very much.

   But now I hear that he actually has such a big influence on the Tangtang Li family, and is so sure that the Li family will let 10% of the interests come out in his face?

   She didn't know what cooperation Tao Zhiming and the Li family were talking about, but they were both rich with more than 1 billion yuan, so how could the project be small.

  Tao Zhiming took a deep look at Tao Yaren and said meaningfully: "Jun Yaren, you must know that the more this is the case, the more worried I will be."

"You!" Tao Yaren shook his head helplessly, "If you have any other conditions, you might as well put forward them. Really, I have done it to this extent. If it weren't for your current status being so critical, do you think that Can our Tao family be willing to do this?"

  Tao Zhiming was turned against him by him, as if he was reasonable and would not forgive others.

   But isn't it all because my buddy is already too fat?

  Drinking too much that day, Tao Zhiming was only sure that his real financial strength would exceed their estimates. After a few days of calm thinking, a new worry began to emerge.

   He vaguely felt that Iwasaki Ryunosuke and the Tao family should communicate and cooperate. After all, when Iwasaki Kuranosuke was still around, the Mori family's Roppongi Hills, through another person named Tao Qianren, got the opinion and permission of the rice army at the Akasaka base next to Roppongi.

   So far away, Chiyan Xinshui has changed his mind and let Huona Jiangyangshui return to Chiyan's house. Is it part of their infiltration plan?

  Mitsubishi has started to take action. With the Tao family as a link, in the future, will Sumitomo, Mitsui, and Daiichi Banking Co., Ltd. all participate together and share the fat of Tao Zhiming?

   This is Tao Zhiming's new concern, so he has to make some preparations for it.

   So he said with a smile: "Yaren-kun, of course there will be no other conditions. But now there is an opportunity to make money, I don't know if you are interested."

  Tao Yaren was stunned: "What chance of making money?"

"What Yaren-jun said, I will make a decision within a week." Tao Zhiming went back to talk, and then introduced, "Didn't I invest in a software distribution company called Softbank? They have now become Neon is a well-deserved number one in the field of software circulation, and its position is also very stable. I suggested that he prepare for the listing, and I suggested that he go public in the United States. Software is an innovative industry, and Nasdaq is more suitable for him."

   "SoftBank?" Tao Yaren looked at him, pondered what he meant before asking, "Do you want me to help introduce a brokerage, help him prepare for the IPO, and act as an underwriter?"

"Yeah." Tao Zhiming nodded solemnly, "Of course, because he is working closely with NEC now, maybe the capital market in the United States is not optimistic that he can expand the market beyond Neon based on the compatible machines and operating systems of the United States in the future. It is listed in Tokyo, and I also suggest that he choose a brokerage in the United States to be responsible for underwriting, mainly to absorb external capital."

   Taoya understood and gave him a deep look.

  Tao Zhiming smiled and replied: It is time to deal with the masters behind him.

  Since the opening of Neon Finance, due to the intricate influence of large consortia in the mainland, the financial capital of Huajie and Europe has not been able to successfully conquer the city.

   But SoftBank is a new company, and it happens to be the future industry that US capital is optimistic about, and it has a broader imagination.

Whether it is listing in the United States, setting an example, so that more new companies in Neon will choose to go public in the future, so that they can use the rules of the United States for future manipulation and harvesting; Hong takes root in and increases its influence. During this process, as a 20% shareholder in SoftBank, Tao Zhiming had the opportunity to directly deal with the owner behind Tao Yaren.

   At that time, we will be able to tell whether the plan proposed by Tao Yaren is just the runaway of this dog-legged Tao family, or the big chess of the financial boss of Huajie.

   Only by understanding these situations can we take specific countermeasures and take precautions.

And Tao Zhiming's implication has been clearly conveyed: whether he wants to participate in the plan suggested by Tao Yaren depends on the way Softbank goes public and whether he and the masters behind the Tao family can be allowed to go public. Make direct connections.

   At the meeting that night, Tao Yaren did not get the expected positive answer, and at the same time it became clearer about Tao Zhiming's concerns.

   So he said with emotion: "Dalang, I will understand the possibility as soon as possible about what you said. But, are you being too cautious now?"

  Lu Yan and Qiu Shuzhen couldn't understand why he suddenly said he was too cautious. Isn't this talking about making money together?

Tao Zhiming replied with a smile: "Ya Renjun, that's why I said that before, it was a last resort, so I risked everything. Now there are more and more things I plan to do, and I have to be more cautious. I can decide what to do with other matters, Mrs. Lee's proposal, I can agree to it now. But I will wait until the end of the month when I arrange the funds. "

   "...a mere 20 million yuan, do you need scheduling?" Tao Yaren asked seemingly unexpectedly.

Tao Zhiming smiled bitterly: "Didn't you just say it? Since September and October, the stock markets around the world have been turbulent. The rice stock just fell by 5% the day before yesterday, and I had to add a lot of money to stabilize my position. I have a little time, only a week. But Mrs. Lee, I can only calculate the value of your 3% shares according to the stock price when the contract was signed. I hope that when the market opens on Monday, it will rise. I would rather put more money money, and I don’t want a lot of money to be temporarily **** in the stock market.”

   In any case, deepening his misunderstanding of his financial strength is a necessary step to show weakness and dig a hole.

  Tao Yaren really moved in his heart, it seems that his funds are indeed relatively tight.

   No wonder he seems so worried about the low-interest loan of 1 billion yuan at this time.

   Indeed, when he went to the United States in September or even early October, he was still in high spirits. Wasn't he the one who came up with the plan for the sub-city of Tokyo? Back then, the stock market did a lot better than it does now.

   So, Onodera Wealth has allocated a large proportion of its funds in the stock market, and it also includes the stock market in the United States?

  The Taoya people are a little uncertain: "Dalang, Hector told me, didn't you remind him that there might be a big volatility in the middle and late October? Are you not ready to hedge the risk?"

"A drop of 5% in one day, how big is this?" Tao Zhiming didn't care about the exchanges between him and Hector on these aspects, after all, they had already got together to start a fund company, "I can't see the current situation. I hope my judgment is accurate this time. Just now, the US Treasury secretary just announced a statement that is unfavorable for the market. I have to adjust my strategy in time. "

   After he finished speaking, he looked at Lu Yan: "Mrs. Li, do you think my request is acceptable?"

Lu Yan smiled and said: "I don't know about other places, but if the Hong Kong stock market is affected, the Financial Secretary will definitely find a way to save the market. Of course, since it is an equity transaction of a listed company, of course, the stock price at the time of signing the contract is the allow."

  Tao Zhiming nodded: "Then it's settled. Yaren-kun, I've been busy all day today, so should I go back earlier?"

   "Does Tao always have an appointment with a beautiful woman?" Lu Yan looked at Qiu Shuzhen with a smile, "Is that the beauty Idari who was there just now?"

  Tao Zhiming laughed dumbly: "That's a friend I met in Idali who worked as a model in Milan. She came to see the fashion festival here. She even mocked me before, saying that it wasn't as good as she thought."

   "Western women always have a high taste in fashion for us in the East. Azhen has always said that today has opened her eyes. This fashion event planned by Mr. Tao is very good. It is more exciting than our selection of Hong Kong sisters."

   Tao Zhiming looked at Qiu Shuzhen who was beside him and asked with a smile, "Thank you Miss Qiu for sure."

"Sincerely." Qiu Shuzhen nodded hurriedly, her eyes full of smiles, "Brother Tao, do you seem to like Western models more? I saw the advertisement of the yacht company on the scene, and the two models, even the neon Yasukiko Sawaguchi. It looks like it has Western ancestry too."

   "Why, I still prefer Oriental beauties." Tao Zhiming joked, "It's just that luxury yachts, after all, are still emerging from the West, and I just choose them according to the needs of the market to establish their image first."

   "Brother Tao, is there a yacht in Tokyo? I saw that the advertisement was shot in Tokyo Bay. I want to see what a big yacht looks like."

   Listening to her familiar and intimate shouting, Tao Zhiming asked Mrs. Li in surprise, "Xiangdao also has a luxury yacht of that level. Hasn't Miss Qiu been to play?"

   "She just debuted this year, so how could she have such an opportunity." Lu Yan suggested with a smile, "If Mr. Tao is willing to give her a glimpse, it will also help Ah Zhen to perform some yachting scenes in the future."

   "It's a pity that tomorrow night is the opening time of the market in the United States." Tao Zhiming sighed, "Today is too late."

  Tao Ya looked at him playfully and said, "It's very interesting to visit Tokyo Bay at night. Besides, it's only eleven o'clock now."

  Tao Zhiming looked at Qiu Shuzhen with a smile on his lips: "Do you really want to go?"

   Seeing that there seemed to be a drama, Qiu Shuzhen looked at his handsome and young face, and when she thought of his identity and wealth, she couldn't help but feel extremely enthusiastic, and nodded her head expectantly.

Tao Zhiming looked at Tao Ya and Lu Yan again. Seeing that both of them were smiling knowingly, he said casually, "Then let's go and have a look. In fact, the current experience and display yachts are all standard and well-organized. ,nothing special."

   Ogata Toshio drove the car and took him and Qiu Shuzhen to the pier.

At the door of   Golden Dragon Cuisine, Tao Yaren, who watched the car go away, had a smile on his mouth and eyes. Sure enough, he still couldn't refuse a woman?

  Lu Yan asked worriedly: "Tao Sheng, do you have any internal news, will the bull market really end next?"

  Tao Yaren looked at her, although this woman is a little old, but she has an extraordinary, high status in Xiangdao after all.

   So he said with a smile: "Let's go too, wait a minute, slow ~ slow ~ tell you..."

   His driver also stopped the car. Tao Yaren looked very gentlemanly, and asked Lu Yan to get in the car first, and then sat next to her.

  This is Neon, presumably she will be more open when she is out of town, right?

   Qiu Shuzhen was sitting in Tao Zhiming's Bentley and was already thinking about whether she should be as bold as Guan Zhilin.

   However, Tao Zhiming got into the car, but fell silent.

  Lu Yan and Tao Yaren seem to have a close relationship, Qiu Shuzhen, what is the situation now?
