Reborn In the Tokyo Bubble Era

   Chapter 412 are all diggers

  Taro Hashimoto actually needs to go through Tao Zhiming to try to see if he can contact the Tao family, and then to tactfully point to the question about the purpose of the Omi consortium, which reveals a lot of information.

   First of all, the Likulut incident is not an official appeal of the United States, and it must have been communicated through formal channels. Since Takegami came to power, he has brokered sanctions and implemented reforms, such as loosening restrictions on corporate capital investment in the bond market and the consumption tax, all of which are beneficial to the inflow of foreign capital.

  Secondly, it was not done by political opponents. If it was just a palace fight within their party, they wouldn't have to go to him to ask about the situation, and it wouldn't be about the Tao family.

   Again, it means that the situation is very critical, and now the clues may have pointed directly to Takegami Tada himself, and it will even spread to other major figures, causing the dominant Democratic Liberal Party to have fundamental problems.

   Finally... Tao Zhiming remembered that he had changed three prime ministers this year, and then the stock market crashed at the end of December this year.

  What does political turmoil mean?

   means the tug-of-war, chaos of the top-level forces, and no time to take care of the corners of the economy.

Tao Zhiming, who already holds 4.58% of the shares of Neon Economic News, and holds a total of 29.8% of the shares of TV Tokyo through Sanyou Investment Bank and Dimension Culture, has not waited for Tao Yaren to say in the past year. The real under the mouth of the Neon Economic News Agency.

   Now, many things are strung together.

After    Hashimoto Taro and Itoyama Etaro left, Tao Zhiming has been sitting in the tea room here.

   Xishui, who changed his name to Tao Yifang, sat next to him and silently made tea for him, making him think.

  There is also a deer in the courtyard, and it rings every now and then.

  What Tao Zhiming is not sure about now is this rhythm, or is it the rhythm in his memory?

   From the end of February 1986 to the present, it has been three years.

  The development of the big event has never deviate from his memory.

   But now, I have truly become a person who has been involved in many major events. At least the plan for the sub-city center of Odaiba, Tokyo, started after the bubble burst; the original Tokyo did not have a Mogami Bliss.

   Now, even the construction of Roppongi Hills, which was also started after the bubble burst in memory, has also started. As long as Tao Zhiming thinks about the scale of the capital flow generated by himself, he can't help but think deeply.

  These things can only be pondered by him alone.

  Fortunately, more than a year ago, since the big plan was finalized with Prince Hassar in the United States at the end of November, Tao Zhiming did not develop any new ideas for the past year, but just fully implemented the layout at that time.

   This time in Kyoto for the New Year’s Eve, Kinoshita Xiufeng asked him about the capital chain after returning, and the momentum created last year was also spread.

  Citibank's Jamie Dimon actually asked if he had any idea to buy Columbia Pictures together with Citibank, which Tao Zhiming did not explicitly say.

  In my impression, Sony bought Columbia Pictures this year, and it has been losing money for more than ten years.

Combined with the building that Mitsui bought before, Mitsubishi will buy the Rockefeller Building this year and finally sold it at half price... The crazy overseas asset allocation of neon people in the bubble era in memory, combined with the visit of Taro Hashimoto today, made him a little more enlightened. comprehend.

   Even if you have too much money in your hand, why should you buy American assets at a premium?

   It's not that you can't buy it. After all, Hongsu is difficult now, and the United States is going to be the only one who will be the only one. In the long run, of course, it will be profitable. The question is, why is the premium so much in the moment?

   Ordinary people may also spend impulsive, large consortiums with top financial teams, how generous?

   So he tried it out, and Taro Hashimoto's reaction confirmed his idea: this is a tribute from Neon's side!

  Although Tao Zhiming no longer regards the December 29th Neon stock market crash as an accurate harvest time in his memory, but now it seems that he has to make his strategy a little more conservative.

   Whether it is early or late, it is always safer.

   In addition, it is time to start thinking about how to cash out.

   After thinking about it, he started to call.

   Tao Yifang listened silently, knowing that this is a very special time, breathing and movements are very light.

   Hearing that he hung up the phone, Tao Yifang said softly, "I'll go tell the store manager and send someone to clean up and prepare the dishes."

  Tao Zhiming nodded and continued to call Tsutsumi Yoshiaki and Watanabe Kitaro to make an appointment to meet.

   Then, he started to contact Prince Hasar who had already arrived at Fragrant Island.

   "Bravo, it's so late, I'm playing!"

  Tao Zhiming listened to the humming of the woman on the phone, and said speechlessly: "Then don't answer for now, is it more exciting now?"

   He actually wanted to know who that woman was, but he probably could ask Zhao Yuanxi when he turned back.

  Hasar hung up the phone after a few weird smiles.

  After a year of being together, the relationship between the two is not what it used to be.

   So after he called again after a while, Tao Zhiming teased, "You have to increase the intensity of your exercise."

   "What do you know? It's been a long time since it started!" Hassar replied unconvincingly, and then asked, "Is there anything I can't wait until I arrive in Tokyo the day after tomorrow?"

Tao Zhi said succinctly: "In order to meet your needs, I signed such an agreement. But now I have so many places to use money, so I want you to help ask. I want to sell some neon assets, I wonder if Prince Walid is interested."

   "Neon assets? What?"

   "Real estate."

  Hasar shook his head: "Then he won't want it. Uncle Walid said that his investment strategy is to only buy large companies that are struggling on the edge of difficulty, and he will not be interested in real estate."

   Tao Zhiming asked simply: "What about the royal family? A golf course that has already been built."

   "...Then I have to ask the king."

  Tao Zhiming continued: "If Prince Walid has time, let's see if he can come to Tokyo too. You tell him that there is a good prey, which is Columbia Pictures in the United States."

   "Columbia Pictures?" Of course the also young Hassall knew this, his tone became a little excited, and the woman beside him also gave a soft cry in surprise, which allowed Tao Zhiming to confirm who the actor was probably.

  Tao Zhiming cursed secretly, and then said, "That's right, Columbia Pictures. I also want to get involved."

   "...Although Brother Walid has become more and more successful in the past three years, if Columbia Pictures...his funds are definitely not enough!"

   "As long as he is interested, invite him to discuss it together."

  Tao Zhiming was also called Alwaleed when he went to Oylt in December of the previous year, and he was the richest man in the Middle East, known as Arab Buffett.

Although this fellow has a lot of arrogance in the future, he also told "Forbes" that others have lowered his ranking and is not convinced, but now he is only developing within Ouerte, and now he has the most profitable domestic Ouyerte. Good commercial bank.

  If you want to sell things for cash, you must have a suitable target. Gou Dahu is a suitable target now.

  Although this Prince Walid is also very shrewd, Tao Zhiming does not hope that he will buy it. Let him come forward to find money from the other princes of Oylt to buy some assets in Tao Zhiming's hands, and then take him with him to reach out to Columbia Pictures, maybe he will be very happy.

   In this case, when Citibank itself is in trouble next year, Waleed will not be able to reach out.

   serves multiple purposes.

  Tao Zhiming and Hasar chatted a few more words, and Nojima Tatsuo came here.

   After sitting down and chatting a few words about today's "Beng Yu", Tao Zhiming asked straight to the point: "Brother Nojima, Minister Hashimoto has just been here. What is the other intention behind Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures?"

  Nojima Tatsuo was stunned for a moment.

  The reason why he came by just a phone call is because the consortium is going to change the chairman this year. In Nojima's view, Tao Zhiming is a very important person.

   So he said suspiciously: "I thought you were going to talk to me about the order for the supply to the Oyalt royal family..."

   "Of course I need your help in this matter." Tao Zhiming gave him a reassurance first.

  Nojima Tatsuo was overjoyed: "You are helping me!"

   "But in order for the royal family to make an exception and let me do it, even if Prince Hasar helped a lot, the final agreement signed is... I will supply the goods this year, and pay the bills at the end of the year."

  Nojima Tatsuo was stunned: "...How much is the total order amount?"

   "Currently confirmed, in addition to two super yachts, other goods and services have signed an order of 800 million yuan."

   "800 million yuan?" Nojima Tatsuo couldn't help but exclaimed, "As expected of the Oyalt royal family... That means you have to bear the financial pressure of 800 million yuan this year?"

   He hesitated for a moment: "The part we supply to you... won't it also need to be settled at the end of the year?"

  Tao Zhiming raised the corner of his mouth and smiled.

   Nojima Tatsuo was a little distressed.

   "I won't let you embarrassed." Tao Zhiming gave him a promise, and then sighed, "Compared to the business of the Oyalt royal family, I plan to shrink some other industries and return some funds."

  Nojima Tatsuo is a good man. Hearing this, his eyes moved and he immediately asked, "You just said that Sony acquired Columbia Pictures... Did Hashimoto-san talk to you about something?"

"You all know it well, I won't hide it." Tao Zhiming said calmly, "I invested a lot of money in the development plan of the deputy capital, and your consortium has benefited from it. Now, you should let me When I can get rid of it and get back some of the funds. And because of the order from the Oyalt royal family, as well as the semiconductor foundry and the R&D centers on both sides of the Xiangdao that we cooperated with, my capital chain has begun to tighten. Or Mitsui Bank can recognize my order and give me a loan, or help me find a buyer."

  Nojima Tatsuo pondered for a moment and asked, "What do you want to sell?"

"I have to shrink a little bit. I've already invested a lot in Hokkaido, and it's good enough. I contacted Chairman Tsutsumi. For the industry in Kansai, I contacted Kitaro Watanabe. Here in Tokyo...I'll play dance halls again. It's not necessary anymore. WanderDance, I can sell it."

   As for the scattered real estate that Tao Zhiming has purchased, he can release all of them this year through real estate agencies.

   These are the big ones he said.

   "Do you want to sell the industry in Kansai?" Nojima Tatsuo was taken aback, "Ueda-kun has already moved to focus on development there, you..."

"The so-called selling, you can sell all, or you can cooperate." Tao Zhiming smiled, "All in all, my energy has shrunk a little. This year, there are orders of 800 million yuan, which is beyond my expectations. It is worth my attention to manage this future big customer. The business with the royal family can last for a long time.”

   "That's true..." Nojima Tatsuo thought about it and asked, "This side of Tokyo, you just want to sell WanderDance?"

   "It's not just the club." Tao Zhiming said calmly, "It also includes... that piece of land!"

  Nojima Tatsuo was really excited: "What about President Takeda?"

   "He told me last year that he gave up."

   With today's neon land price, where can Takeda Takana still afford it?

   Although the land is not big, it is only over 3,000 square meters. But after the announcement of the Odaiba Seaside Sub-city Plan, how exaggerated the land prices around Tokyo Bay in Minato District have reached?

  A piece of land in Ginza 5-chome is now for sale. Now the price of one square meter has been reported for 100 million yen, which is almost 800,000 yuan.

A square meter.

  Takahashi Takeda's piece of land is not as good as the land in Ginza. But if Tao Zhiming said he wanted to make a move... there would be people rushing to take it.

   Therefore, even a consortium boss like Nojima Tatsuo knows that Neon's real estate bubble will burst, but he still has to be moved.

   It’s just that they didn’t expect that Neon’s local economy would collapse so completely. They probably thought that at most, it would drop by 12%, 20% or 30%, right?

   In fact, the real estate has dropped by 50-60%.

   "Tao Jun... Are you already making plans?" Nojima Tatsuo asked seriously.

   The power of Tao Zhiming is no longer doubted by Nojima Tatsuo and others. When he has any abnormal movements, he has to pay attention.

Tao Zhiming smiled bitterly and said, "Yeah, it's too early. If you don't believe me, I can tell you today that the real estate sector will continue to rise in 2 to 3 years. If I wasn't under too much financial pressure this year, now How can I sell it? And WanderDance will definitely not be my top priority to sell. At the current price, as long as I sell it, I can get more than 1.5 billion yuan. After paying off the loan secured by the land, there is still money left. The more than 400 million yuan under the next year will solve the problem of capital turnover this year, and it will be so-so.”

   This is why Tao Zhiming was listed on the Forbes Rich List again last year, and his ranking has risen significantly.

   Even at his request, Forbes counted his wealth only based on the real estate counted the year before, but as soon as the Fuduxin plan was announced, Tao Zhiming's net worth immediately jumped to the order of more than 3 billion yuan.

Seeing how he was thinking about it, Tao Zhiming simply said: "You must be thinking of buying real estate after the price of real estate drops, so why don't you help me find other powerful sellers first. Let them buy After coming down, you can buy hands in the future."

   "Unless he continues to run the dance hall." Nojima Tatsuo's eyes were bright.

   "It just so happens that my dance hall is also making money now." Tao Zhiming said with a smile.

  The dance hall is now easy to dismantle, and the price of the ground building is low. If someone buys it, such as Yoshiaki Ti, and builds a hotel, the price will be expensive.

Tao Zhiming was only trying to convey to him the impression of his financial difficulties, his main purpose was other: "So, Sony wants to acquire Columbia Pictures, I know there are reasons for wanting to promote the videotape industry, and I have already done so before. I bought Columbia Records. But Hashimoto-san said that their stock price is only 21 yuan now, why should they pay 27 yuan? The premium is close to 30%, and they have to take on their debt of more than 1.5 billion yuan. "

   For a loss-making, debt-ridden listed company, its current share price is already the result of taking into account earnings expectations. Sony's entry into Columbia Pictures, why can it be expected that it will rise by more than 30% as soon as the news is released?

   Sony can only make money if it can increase by more than 30%.

  If Columbia Pictures is doing well right now and the stock price is booming, it makes sense for you to pay such a premium.

   For Columbia Pictures today, a negative premium acquisition is normal if someone else takes on the debt. Others buy at a premium of 20%, which is already considered a heroic merger. This time the premium is close to 30%, it can only be said that there is no problem.

  Nojima Tatsuo was silent for a while, and then said: "This is in exchange for Columbia Pictures' current capital strength and help lobby the United States to release sanctions on industries such as neon semiconductors."

   "Are you ready to accept it?" Tao Zhiming asked, "The consortium has sufficient funds now?"

   “…waiting for a special loan from the central bank.”

  Tao knew his fate suddenly, got it! The crux is back.

The    consortium bears a part, and the state bears the majority. Anyway, it is the taxes and national debts collected, or the money printed by the central bank.

   The financial market boomed because of loose financial restrictions and an influx of foreign capital. Therefore, the savings of ordinary people continue to be invested in the financial market, resulting in a flood of water even without printing money.

  Mie Yefu has not yet come to power, and the central bank will raise interest rates even if it does not print money, so it will continue to pump water from the private sector. He did not print money, but he could turn a blind eye to the central bank's subscription of government bonds. The central bank has a large amount of treasury bonds in its hands, and of course it can expand credit loans to commercial banks.

  Reserves can also be lowered.

   But Mieno should be in power at the end of the year, so it's starting to tighten up now.

   So Tao Zhiming sighed: "Hashimoto-san is very worried about the confrontation between Mie Ye-sang and the Tibetan province... Sony's acquisition of Columbia Pictures, I'm afraid it will be difficult."

   Since Sanji Yefu wants to slash harder with one sword, and he will slash the consortium, and cut out the gaps in the old system, I am afraid that he is very clear about the current situation and will not give too much support to the consortium.

  Otherwise, Takegami will be embarrassing for them. These things that can get the support of American capital bosses have already been promoted.

   "You asked about Columbia Pictures, are you interested?" Nojima Tatsuo suddenly asked.

  Tao Zhiming laughed: "Citibank also asked me if I was interested, they are actually interested."

   "They? Hehe..." Nojima Tatsuo sneered, "It was they who raised the price."
