MTL - Rebirth: Japanese investor-Chapter 25 angel investment

   Chapter 25 Angel Investing

   A few days later, Masayoshi Kishimoto went out of the house with the backpack he was traveling for a long time and headed to Haneda International Airport. Before leaving, he naturally would not forget to inform Rie Sakai at home and leave by himself.

  Masayoshi Kishimoto not only did not get the words of good wind from the other party, but her face was obviously displeased, and she wished that something unexpected happened when her flight was flying over the Pacific Ocean, and she fell directly into the sea to feed the sharks.

   From this, he sighed deeply in his heart, that sentence is right, it is better to offend the villain than the woman. Once a woman's mind becomes small, even if she doesn't hate you for a lifetime, she can ignore you for many days.

   Masayoshi Kishimoto, who arrived at the airport two hours early, had to go through various procedures before boarding. Fortunately, I have an RB passport in my hand, and it is visa-free to go to the United States.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi sat on a chair in the waiting hall, with his large backpack on the chair on the left.

   He turned sideways to unzip a zipper of his backpack, and took out Junichiro Tanizaki's novel "Fine Snow".

  Whether it is waiting for a flight or sitting in an airplane, the best way to pass the time is to read a book. The book "Fine Snow" is relatively thick, and can fully support myself to fly to San Francisco in the United States.

   "Fine Snow" is Tanizaki Junichiro's most representative work and his greatest achievement at the peak of his writing. Haruki Murakami, who has not won the Akutagawa Award, won the Tanizaki Junichiro Literary Award, which is recognized as the backbone of RB, and gradually made him famous and attracted much attention.

   The blind date of the third child, Xuezi, runs through the whole book, and the title of the book also takes her "snow" character. The oldest four wonderful sons, in the RB Kansai region, the youngest one is also called Ximei, which seems to be similar to the name in the southern Fujian region of China, with the word "fine".

   Tanizaki Junichiro's concept of marriage values ​​is naturally a tribute to traditional women like Yukiko, but inadvertently makes Taeko, who pursues free love and is pregnant before marriage, become the foreseeable trend of men and women in future reality.

   This inadvertently dislocated idea runs counter to the writer's own perception of the heroine Anna in the minds of readers in Leo Tolstoy's "Anna Karenina".

  Leo Tolstoy despised Anna, a woman like her, and she was as good as possible, but she was full of sympathy for Anna in the minds of readers.

  After boarding the plane, Masayoshi Kishimoto put his luggage away, then turned around and sat down to continue reading the novel "Fine Snow" by Junichiro Tanizaki.

   He went to Stanford University in San Francisco to meet Sergey Brin and his partner Larry Page.

   They are the founders of Google. It's just that they are still fiddling with the search engine in the dormitory, which has not seen any improvement.

  All ideas to change the world always start from an idea that seems particularly absurd by outsiders. This is where the future Facebook company was founded.

  Why Zuckerberg founded Facebook by chance was not because he vented his anger when he failed to pick up girls.

   Facebook was founded on February 4, 2004. Today, Zuckerberg is still a child, and he has not suffered the huge blow of not being able to pick up girls in college. It is in vain to find him now.

   However, Google was founded on September 4, 1998, and it was precisely because of the detailed time that he knew that it was the driving force behind his departure from Tokyo to San Francisco.

   Masayoshi Kishimoto knows that the two of them will become the world's largest search engine company in the future, with a market value of $800 billion in 20 years' time.

  I was just one step ahead of others to approach them, so as to make an angel investment in their project. His problem was not whether he could find them, but how to persuade the two to accept his $100,000 angel investment and sign a formal contract in duplicate.

   This time, Masayoshi Kishimoto will not make the same terms as he signed with NCsoft online game company Kanazawa Chen. He will pay special attention to one clause that he will never give in, the priority of additional investment.

   Masayoshi Kishimoto himself is fully able to speak standard and fluent American English, which is due to the fact that he has attended a relatively advanced university.

  Otherwise, even if he knew of the existence of such a possibility, he would be powerless. After all, there would be obstacles in the communication between the two parties, and everything would become inappropriate.

   Looking for a translator or something is completely nonsense. At this time, there can be a few people who understand what a search engine is.

   Even if you say how good and convenient the search engine is... it is not convincing, and it is simply giving people a feeling of drawing cakes to satisfy their hunger. Only by communicating with people who understand, then there will be no more than half a sentence without speculation.

"Excuse me, does your book look good?" A man saw Masayoshi Kishimoto beside him reading the book very much after two or three hours after the plane took off, so he couldn't help asking. .

   Kishimoto Masayoshi put down the book in front of him a little, turned sideways, and said very politely: "It's okay!"

   "You are also going to San Francisco, USA?" The man said with a completely unnutritious remark.

  Kishimoto Masayoshi can understand his nonsense as a kind of communication. A direct flight from Tokyo to San Francisco, instead of going to San Francisco, is it possible to go to New York?

   "Yes. I'm going to the San Francisco Bay Area." Kishimoto said truthfully.

"It's a coincidence, I'm going there too. Let me know, my name is Yanjing Zheng, and this is my business card." The man first stretched out his right hand and shook it with the other party, then took out the business card box he carried with him, and took out I took one, and handed it out with both hands.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi put the book on his legs, and while he took the business card with both hands, the name "Yanii Masa" appeared in his mind so familiar.

   He put the business card he received in front of his eyes and immediately knew who the other party was. My luck is really good. I had an unexpected joy and met the founder of Uniqlo.

   In the 2018 Top 500 World Brands, Uniqlo ranked 168th. When Masayoshi Kishimoto thought of this, his instinctive reaction to investing was to make an investment in a company that was not currently well-known.

   "Sorry, I forgot to bring my business card." Kishimoto Masayoshi apologized without lying.

   "It's okay, it's okay." Yanai Masa said with a smile.

   "It must be a business trip for you!" Masayoshi Kishimoto communicated with each other in a targeted manner in order to deepen the mutual impression.

   "Businessmen are always running around and flying around. Are you on a tour?" Yanai Masa didn't change his smile.

   "No, I'm going to Stanford University to meet two friends." Masayoshi Kishimoto said in a mixed way.
