Rebirth: Japanese investor

   Chapter 636 Extreme

  Kishimoto Masayoshi patiently spent about an hour with Sakai Rie in the small living room on the second floor, and finally managed to sing the song of the Hard Gold Group Company not too out of tune.

   "Today, let's go here!" Kishimoto Masayoshi poured a glass of whiskey and held it in his hand.

   Sakai Rie didn't have to insist on letting him sing completely out of tune, after all, it was too unrealistic. It wasn't the first time I met him.

   Sakai Rie sat on the sofa and said, "Yaiai Masaru from Uniqlo sent an invitation letter. Please join us to attend Uniqlo's new product launch."

   "Yanii Masa and I are both old acquaintances, and we can be regarded as a long-term friend. He is a Japanese man who can do one thing to the extreme.

   If there is still a man in this world who can do one thing as extreme as Yanai Masao, I am afraid it is the American Howard Schultz. He is the founder of Starbucks.

  You go, I won't go. "Kishimoto is holding a whisky glass in his right hand and thinking in his heart that this year will be a very difficult year for Uniqlo.

   In the final accounts period of August 2002, Uniqlo, which has maintained an amazing sales and profit growth momentum, suffered the first reduction in revenue and profit after the company went public.

   Once upon a time, I was thinking of competing with Yanai Zheng for the position of Japan's richest man. Later, he couldn't help feeling that his past thoughts were so naive.

  How could the real richest man in Japan appear in the public eye? As a member of the top class, such a person will always exist in the world like an invisibility cloak, but has unfathomable strength and influence.

   Even if Yanai is able to become the richest man in Japan in the future, or even the richest man in Asia, he is not the real richest man in Japan or Asia.

   Japan's economic lifeline is mainly controlled by the six chaebols, not Yanai Zheng's Uniqlo. A clothing seller, even if the profit is huge, can it be bigger than a seller of arms, oil, etc.?

   Not to mention unlisted companies, there is no need to publish annual financial reports. In Japan, there are also many unlisted family-owned private companies.

   Sakai Rie rarely heard recognition and praise from his mouth: "Aren't you a man who does one thing to the extreme?

  Your hard gold group is much larger than Uniqlo's assets. You are a man who is recognized by the Japanese financial circle as a chaebol with hard money, but Yanai is not. "

  Masayoshi Kishimoto took a sip of the whisky in the glass and said: "I belong to diversity, not simplification. Besides, having money and doing one thing to the extreme are two different things.

   Those craftsmen who are known as national treasures in Japan have not achieved their peak in one thing. However, they are not all rich. This is mainly due to winning a reputation and social status as a professional.

  It is remarkable that Yanai Zheng can make the clothing brand Uniqlo world-famous. Howard Schultz made Starbucks world famous is just as remarkable. "

   "You really don't plan to go? Or do you already despise Yanai Zheng? Or are you already planning to buy his Uniqlo?" Sakai Rie said casually.

   "I really bought Yanai Masao's Uniqlo even though I couldn't keep it." Masayoshi Kishimoto felt that at this time of the year, he could indeed have the opportunity to buy a large number of Uniqlo stocks.

   "Really, fake?" Sakai Rie couldn't believe what she originally said unintentionally, but it became the true way.

   "It's true and false when it's false, and when it's false, it's true and false, it's up to you to tell what's true and what's false." Masayoshi Kishimoto said with a smile.

   Sakai Rie saw that he didn't tell the truth to himself, and didn't go to the bottom of it, after all, it was a business secret. She knew what to ask and what not to ask.

  I want to establish a family rule in the Kishimoto family, and the women of the Kishimoto family are not allowed to arbitrarily intervene in the business affairs of the men.

   "Since you don't want to attend Uniqlo's new product spring launch this year, I'm the only one doing it for you. I don't eat rice from the Kishimoto family for nothing." Sakai Rie said bluntly.

   "It's like you're not from my Kishimoto family. If you don't want to go, you don't have to. You're pregnant, and there are indeed inconvenient places." Kishimoto said calmly.

   "Women are still interested in fashion whether they are pregnant or not. Although Uniqlo is taking the popular route, it does not have any negative impact on me.

   As you said earlier, we and Yanai Masa are old friends. I remember that when I was still in college, the New Year concert I held was attended by Mr. and Mrs. Yanai Masao.

   And even earlier, Meiling and I went to the opening of Uniqlo's first flagship store in Harajuku, Tokyo. It is also the right thing to go to cheer for it in a reasonable way. " Sakai Rie said slowly.

   Kishimoto Masayoshi sat beside her and said, "You still remember these old things, which not only shows that you are a woman who is nostalgic, but also a woman who attaches great importance to friendship."

"Of course you have to remember what others treat you well. If you treat me badly, I will remember you for the rest of your life." Sakai Rie habitually rolled her eyes at him and raised her right hand. index finger.

   "Have I treated you badly?" Kishimoto Masayoshi knew that she had subconsciously started bickering with her daily.

   "You said, did you treat me well there?" Sakai Rie asked rhetorically.

   "I asked you first. Why did you ask me?" Kishimoto Masayoshi kicked the ball she kicked back to her.

   "I asked you first, okay?" Sakai Rie pursed her lips and smiled, intentionally being unreasonable.

   "Really? How come I don't know. Do you think I'm a liar, and you always like to lie to me?" Kishimoto Masayoshi followed her example and also came a pig Bajie playing a rake, knocking a rake backwards.

   Sakai Rie raised the small fists of both hands and hit him on the body, pretending to be angry and saying, "You are not allowed to learn from me."

   "I've already learned to sing with you, so I also learned to sing along with your nonsense." Masayoshi Kishimoto laughed.

   "You are clearly spewing blood. I didn't mess around. Even if I mess around, it's only for you. You have to know how to be content." Sakai Rie insisted.

   "Then do I still have a grateful heart for you? According to your thinking logic, because you love me, you will be petty to me." Kishimoto said with joy.

   "Yes, you are so smart." Sakai Rie immediately laughed.

   "Why am I so unlucky?" Kishimoto Masayoshi laughed more and more cheerfully.
