On the bright side, Tao Zhiming obviously can't afford so much money, so he can only find ways to raise funds.It just so happens that the current financing is also covered by the "Kaguracho" plan. Tao Zhiming can expand the debt scale through Onakami, Changxin Bank, and other financial institutions.
And since the Tao family is still the creditor of Tao Zhiming's 15 billion yuan, they are naturally happy to see Tao Zhiming's debts piled up. At least the Tao family's 15 billion yuan will always be repaid first. Tao Ya people have this confidence.
Fortunately, people like Tao Yaren, the core bosses of top conglomerates such as Mitsui, Sumitomo, and Mitsubishi, are very aware of the risks of Nihong Real Estate, and they understand Tao Zhiming's early sale of real estate.
Obviously he could earn more, and it would be too late to sell it at the end of the year or even next year, but Tao Zhiming has already started selling 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 Wander Dance to Mitsui can raise 15 billion yuan; selling the golf course in Hokkaido to Yoshiaki Tsutsumi alone can raise 800 billion yen.The remaining scattered residential real estate, Tao Zhiming is still in his hands, with a feeling that he will wait until it rises a little bit more and sells a little bit more.
Things have advanced to this point, and the lack of funds is so large that they have to sell part of their assets. It is no longer for these chess players, but for chess pieces like Kitaro Watanabe who are still awake.
Naturally, Xiangdao also has such chess pieces.
Tao Zhiming now has to figure out which big families on Xiangdao are qualified to observe the chess game, and which ones are purely in the game.
"There is nothing left and right, let's talk about Xiangdao." Tao Zhiming asked, "Did you hear anything from other people in Xiangdao about the information we talked on the plane?"
"Not yet." Zhao Yuanxi said, "Others just know that you are a little dissatisfied with me now, after all, you scolded me like silicon chips."
"I don't know if Silicon Chip will invest 5 million Hong Kong dollars this year, and I will invest in Columbia Pictures?"
"...Let me say, since you slept with her, you don't necessarily have to use this method to try her?" Zhao Yuanxi didn't quite understand, "Now she is only thinking about how to change the Huo family's house, at most it's just a new one. Go shopping. I took a few scripts and asked her for her opinion, and she said to wait for you. This woman is not stupid, why would she go around yelling about such a big business secret?"
"It's been a long time to see people's hearts. Since no one in Xiangdao knows that I will pay for the acquisition of Columbia Pictures, my impression of her will become better. What's wrong with that?" Tao Zhiming didn't care, " Then you want to admit that the 1% of the Pantao Club’s shares raised money?”
"This matter is also a bit stupid." Zhao Yuanxi said bluntly, "Xiangdao's industry doesn't make much money, how much can I get? Since others know it well, you know that I have to raise money from outside, don't you suspect that this is Test my loyalty and see if someone will use me to meddle in your affairs?"
"Haven't you raised it yet?" Tao Zhiming asked with a smile.
Zhao Yuanxi shook his head: "I told Li Ju that since I have borrowed it from him, I will not 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: "Whether the method is stupid or not depends on the purpose. You are a prince of Xiangdao on my side, what's wrong with me testing you? Isn't this a good way to test and comfort you?" Now I don’t know how many people want to become shareholders in my Pantao Club, wanting to find out my details.”
He sharpened his eyes and said: "If the Li family is sincerely cooperating with me, they will not make some inexplicable demands on you. If they know that I am short of money, they will 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, otherwise I will find another way to see, is there any intention?"
Tao Zhiming nodded: "It's just before I leave from the US. When I leave from the US, I will also get an accurate reply from the financial groups in the US. If the two sides happen to reply to me at about the same time, it will explain some problems .”
"... twisted and twisted."
"No way, after all, the people you are facing are not easy!"
Tao Zhiming sighed, at this moment, Tao Yaren was indeed listening to their meeting respectfully.
"This is the previous share distribution of Sanyou Investment Bank: Sumitomo 40%, Mitsui 25%, Tao Dalang 15%, Kinoshita Hidekaze 8%, Moriya 8%, Ueda Masahiro 4%. The reorganization is divided into two steps. First, Tao Dalang pays, Spend 900 billion yen to buy 15% from Sumitomo and Mitsui respectively. Then there is a capital increase of 1000 billion yen. In order to maintain 45% of the shares, Tao Dalang takes out an additional 450 billion yen, while Iwasaki Ryunosuke contributes 200 billion yen, accounting for 10%. The remaining 350 billion yen, if invested by us, will account for 17.5%”
"In this case, the proportion of shares becomes: Tao Dalang 45%, us 17.5%, Sumitomo 12.5%, Iwasaki Ryunosuke 10%, Mitsui 5%, Kinoshita Hidekaze and Moriya 4%, Ueda 2% .”
Jamie Dimon analyzed: "The proportion of shares we can influence is at most 10% of Iwasaki Ryunosuke and 4% of Mori's family. In this case, the total is only 31.5%, not more than one-third. If it is based on The 20% he promised will reach 34%, effectively influencing major decisions!"
Stevenson smiled: "Is it carefully designed, and we are willing to pay a higher price to obtain the remaining 2.5% until the plan is pushed to that point?"
"Yaren, among Tao Dalang's 45%, the extra 30% this time is held through that Bravo Peach. Has he ever told you about the current shareholding composition of Bravo Peach?"
Tao Yaren shook his head: "I didn't say that. All I know is that he promised the CEO of Xiangdao Company a total of 2% of the shares. Even if we can finally control that Zhao Yuanxi, it doesn't matter."
"You said he needs to rely on that Zhao Yuanxi now, but he's a bit on guard?"
"What I'm going to say next is just my personal judgment." Tao Yaren thought for a while, and then talked about Li Jiacheng's suggestion to him, "At least according to what Zhao Yuanxi said, Bravo Peach now only has three shareholders: Tao Dalang, Ueda Shana and Zhao Yuanxi. Judging from this information, Tao Dalang will not be sincerely wary of Zhao Yuanxi."
"Are there only three in total?" Stevenson clicked his tongue, "I just don't know how much of it the Ueda family takes up."
Tao Yaren nodded and said: "Just looking at the way the Shangtian family turned a blind eye to Tao Dalang's presumptuous behavior with women, the proportion should not be low. There are enough interests to ignore these things. So I don't think it is necessary to focus only on On Zhao Yuanxi. Before Tao Dalang, the relationship between the Ueda family and the Mori family was closer. Tao Zhiming’s foundation in Neon started from Kinoshita Hidekazu and the Ueda family. Now that we have started to plan to enter this framework, in fact, apart from Tao Dalang, Everyone else, we can all try to influence."
"How to do it, tell me about your strategy?"
Tao Yaren cheered up, thinking that Li Jiacheng's views were indeed extraordinary.
He said solemnly: "First of all, we still need to promote this plan and make Sanyou Investment Bank truly 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 to let them give us the right to speak about their interests in the Sanyou consortium, at least part of them, This is already likely to exceed 40%. There are many ways, through changes in the shareholding structure, or through the appointment of directors on our side."
Jamie Dimon made a joke 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 influenced by us in the future, so it is easy to make compromises .”
The progress of the Roppongi Hills project is much slower than that of Mogami Gokurakucho, which has the full support of Sumitomo and Mitsui.This is not only because of Mori's anti-reverse behavior in the death of Iwasaki Kuranosuke, which made Mitsubishi very unhappy, but the main reason is that Mori has damaged Mitsubishi's gains in the entire national railway reform.
Of course, there are also reasons why the Mori family is more shrewd and unwilling to start investment and construction at the peak stage of the neon real estate bubble under the circumstances of many constraints.
Tao Yaren explained some of these antecedents and said: "Now the Sen family is focusing on the layout of overseas assets. In these aspects, they are more likely to rely on us. Once the Sen family is willing to stand by us, then it will be our turn." It’s time for the Ueda family. Although the Ueda family only accounts for 2% of the Sanyou consortium, through Bravo Peach, they actually hold some shares indirectly, perhaps 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 Dow Group in Xiangdao." Tao Yaren analyzed, "According to current information, a very large part of Tao Dalang's profits from the Bravo Peach system has been invested in Xiangdao. By the way, Tao Dalang has already invested a considerable amount of capital. In addition to the earliest established trading company, film and audio-visual company, and magazine company, there is now a film and television city, a yacht resort, and a semiconductor foundry. In addition, OOCL , TVB, and Asia TV. It is reported that this year they plan to invest in a film production company.”
"The most important thing is: Tao Dalang's entire Dow Group in Xiangdao is currently in a period of huge investment and has not yet produced an overall return. Bravo Peach's share in the entire Dow Group is not too large, only 25%. Tao Dalang personally accounted for 65%, and Zhao Yuanxi accounted for 10%." Tao Yaren said with a smile, "Bravo Peach made money in Nihong, but Tao Dalang managed a lot of money and invested a lot of money in Xiangdao. Affecting the interests of the Ueda family."
Stevenson understood, and commented with a smile: "Also, he is still presumptuous with women?"
"That's right. The son of Tao Dalang and Ueda Shana was adopted to Ueda Masahiro as his heir. Although the relationship between the two seems to be inseparable, but now it seems that it is more and more like a transaction!" Tao Yaren looked at The crowd joked, "You don't know, Tao Dalang has recently become madly infatuated with a beauty pageant champion in Xiangdao, and spent a lot of money on her. The mansion of more than 300 million yuan was easily bought. The golden house hides its beauty."
Stevenson sighed: "If I were Mr. Ueda, I would be very angry if I heard about it."
Chapter 430, He Gives Too Much
Hearing Stevenson's joke, Tao Yaren smiled and said: "That's right! Iwasaki Ryunosuke said that Ueda-kun is a person who values reputation very much. Although Tao Dalang was suspected of having an affair with some women around him in Neon , but did not go too far. Even the president of Onodera Fortune was secretly sent to the United States to prepare to give birth. At least on the surface, he did not have scandals with female stars in Neon. But In Xiangdao, he was much more presumptuous."
After explaining, Tao Yaren said solemnly: "Therefore, I suggest that in addition to advancing the plan of the Sanyou Consortium on Nihong's side, we should also support him to continue to increase investment in Xiangdao! The more Tao Dalang invests in Xiangdao , the center of gravity is biased towards Xiangdao, the more presumptuous he is in Xiangdao, the more dissatisfied the Ueda family will be aroused! And his foundation in Xiangdao is not as strong as that of Nihong! We exert influence on Xiangdao, and we will also It's much easier than in Neon, at least it won't be resisted by the Neon Consortium!"
Stevenson thought for a while, and then said approvingly: "Ya Ren, you did a good job!"
Tao Yaren smiled happily.
Li Jiacheng is worthy of being a person who can manage the industry to such a large extent. Although he couldn't find out the extent of Tao Zhiming's strength in the end, this analysis of the overall situation is very reasonable and directly points to people's hearts.
"Everyone, what's your opinion?" Stevenson looked at the others in the room.
"In the secondary market, we should also prepare funds to buy bank bonds at a low price."
"Columbia Pictures' follow-up development must be well-arranged to prevent it from being quickly reversed by the Neon people."
"It's okay to support his development in Xiangdao, but we need to arrange appropriate people to join the boards of directors of his companies in Xiangdao, so as to make some troubles in the future and distract him..."
"If he wants to engage in semiconductor foundry, he must cooperate with chip design companies, which can create traps for him."
"Although he sees the bubble in the neon stock market, we can also try to target him, at least make his expected return lower than before, and expand his financial pressure."
"..."
These people start talking one by one.
After all, 20% of the shares cannot satisfy their appetite.
Tao Zhiming monopolizes so much, although he is indeed required to do the plan now, but he must be prepared for kicking him to the edge in the future.
The discussion here continued until the evening, and Tao Zhiming and Zhao Yuanxi finally met Zhang Rujing who had returned to the hotel after the meeting at around nine o'clock.
Zhang Rujing, who had called, went straight to the coffee shop of the hotel. Seeing the two of them sitting there, he hurriedly said: "I didn't expect you two to come early. I don't know how long today's meeting will last. I will be there tomorrow morning." I'm going to Yidali, I'm really sorry to keep you waiting."
Tao Zhiming shook hands with him with a smile and said, "Mr. Zhang is indeed as rumored. He is very enthusiastic about his work and is highly valued by the head office. Why don't you let you rest and go to Yidali tomorrow?"
Zhang Rujing wore round glasses, and after sitting down, he replied: "No way, I get a salary. Besides, I am responsible for the construction of the new factory in Yidali. If I focus on building it as soon as possible, I can do it too." Breathe a sigh of relief."
"Then I'm afraid I will have to arrange for you to build another factory."
Seeing that Zhao Yuanxi went to order coffee, Zhang Rujing came back to his senses and asked, "Mr. Tao, don't you think you haven't had dinner yet?"
"I ate at the restaurant of the hotel." Tao Zhiming said casually, "Mr. Zhang, Lao Zhao has contacted you before, and I'll be blunt. You can treat me as if I was pretending to pay attention to the thatched cottage, but I am really sincere." Invite Mr. Zhang to host my chip factory."
At this time, Zhao Yuanxi also came back, and after sitting down, he said: "Mr. Zhang, the boss and I have arrived at three o'clock in the afternoon, and have been waiting until now. Now everything is available for the silicon element chip, and there is a need for an experienced person in charge."
Zhang Rujing said awkwardly: "Mr. Tao, I have heard your name for a long time. I don't know what you think, but you want to make chips, that's not how you do it. You two don't know much about chips, so you just rashly So much money has been invested in…”
"That's why we need to find someone who understands." Tao Zhiming said with a smile, "And I just don't know the specific technology and craftsmanship, but I don't think there is a problem with the direction of the industry. Your old boss, Didn’t the vice president of Texas Instruments also go back to Bay Island to build a foundry factory, Bay Semiconductor?”
"How can I compare with Mr. Zhang..." Zhang Rujing shook his head, "Mr. Zhang is also a technical background, but he can be a vice president, and he is much better than me in terms of business structure."
"In terms of business structure, does Mr. Zhang think I will be worse than him?"
Zhang Rujing was stunned, remembering his identity as a billionaire.But he was always a little bit disapproving. Now all the people in Nihong rely on real estate to make money, so there may be some misunderstandings about chips.Wouldn't it be that Zhang Zhongmou went to build a foundry, so he ran to do it?Even Mr. Zhang's model has an uncertain future.
Tao Zhiming stared at him.
Zhang Rujing is a person who does things. Later, he also saw the success of Zhang Zhongmou's foundry model, so he ran back to Wandao to do the same thing.He himself was a small shareholder, and he devoted himself to doing a good job, but he didn't know that the major shareholder sold the factory to Zhang Zhongmou.Later, when I set up a factory in the Mainland, I was also listed as one and fined a lot of patent fees.
So he admits that he is not as good as Zhang Zhongmou, at least at this moment and before he suffers those losses in the future, it is true.
However, with Tao Zhiming's current connections, he really couldn't find a better candidate.What's more, Zhang Rujing is a bit good. He later insisted on setting up factories in the mainland despite the pressure.
"Mr. Zhang, what do you think of the foundry model?" Tao Zhiming simply talked to him about his professional affairs.Such a person, if he wants to make him willing, he must not be looked down upon by him.
"...To be honest, all the successful ones now are vertical models, designing, manufacturing, packaging, and testing by themselves. Although there are also companies specializing in chip design, those are small businesses." Zhang Rujing said sincerely, " Mr. Tao, Mr. Zhang can do OEM because he has a wide range of people. When he talks to others about OEM, they will at least let him try. If he can really do a good job in terms of process quality, yield rate and cost , there will be space in the future, but this space is actually not big. Now there are so many factories of the big brands, and we, Texas Instruments, have a meeting today and plan to build 10 new factories in the next 5 years..."
"The penetration rate of personal computers is close to 200 per 50 people in the United States, 40 for Neon, and more than [-] for Xiangdao. The growth rate of personal computer penetration far exceeds the growth rate of production capacity of chip brands."
Zhang Rujing paused, then smiled modestly: "President Tao has done a lot of homework."
"I invested hundreds of millions of dollars in it, so of course I have to do my homework." Tao Zhiming saw it more clearly than anyone in this era, and then said, "Mr. Zhang, I'm looking at the future, and it's the future." Frontier. Right now, I'm betting on CPU and flash."
"...not DRAM and other mid-to-low-end chips?" Zhang Rujing was paralyzed. Isn't this just a gamble?
"Anyway, if you come to my side, first, you can be the general manager, and second, you can always play with the most cutting-edge technology." Tao Zhiming said again, "To tell you the truth, I also bought a lithography machine from Philips There are a lot of shares in the company. I am also talking to them about the acquisition of the shares in the hands of Philips at Bay Semiconductor."
"...So Mr. Tao still needs to spend money to develop a more advanced lithography machine?"
"Not only that, I also cooperated with Toshiba and NEC to set up a chip research and development company." Tao Zhiming nodded, "Mr. Zhang can understand my determination to invest in this field?"
How can Zhang Rujing not understand, too much money is burning too much.
Tao Zhiming directly threw a big killer: "Mr. Zhang, as long as you are willing to come, I will give you three nodes for the silicon chip. As long as it can be put into production, I will give you 3% of the shares directly. You don't have to worry about the order, as long as I negotiate If you can complete the orders on time, with quality and quantity, and have delivered a total of 1000 million pieces, I will reward you with 2% of the shares. Later, if the silicon chip can make a profit, I will grant you another 10% of the options in one breath .Before then, the annual salary was calculated at 365 million Hong Kong dollars."
Zhang Rujing opened his mouth.
This means 1 Hong Kong dollars a day?
"...Mr. Tao, you think highly of me..." Zhang Rujing couldn't bear it, "This industry is really not as simple as you think..."
"I know it's not that simple, so I sincerely asked Mr. Zhang to help me host it." Tao Zhiming bought 2400 million Hong Kong dollars for a woman's luxury house. The money comes too fast, so who cares about this?It is more important to recruit talents, not to mention that the matter of chips is related to the future plan.
"...I'm really not worth the price right now." Zhang Rujing felt very guilty. This amount of money is nearly 50 yuan a year, which is much higher than his current income.In the United States, an annual income of more than 5 yuan is already a very good income, and an annual income of more than 10 yuan is even more comfortable.In Xiangdao, the house price is only more than 1 Hong Kong dollars per square meter, and this year's income is enough to buy two luxury houses.
"Whether Mr. Zhang is worth it or not depends on what you do in the future and who you follow." Tao Zhiming said frankly, "Well, let me introduce my current layout to Mr. Zhang, and you will know that silicon chips have There is no future. Although Texas Instruments is one of the few big brands, but the future of silicon chips, it may not be vain.”
Tao Zhiming then began to introduce to him his relationship with Sumitomo, Mitsui and other consortiums, as well as his next plan for CD-ROMs.In this first step, even if the progress in CPU and flash memory is a bit slower, the decoding chip for optical discs is at least the starting point.
Later, Tao Zhiming also told him about the cooperation with Sony game console.
In the CPU market at this time, there are still multiple camps in terms of infrastructure.Later, the X86 architecture that dominated the world on personal computers was just one of the camps.But at the same time, the game console actually uses another camp, which is deeply customized and optimized in terms of hardware and software.For example, this idea was adopted by Apple's CPU from the very beginning.
Later, in order to prevent Intel's X86 architecture from dominating the world, Sony, Toshiba and IBM invested 3 billion yuan in the first phase of research and development of next-generation chips for PS40 game consoles. Sony's accumulated losses exceeded 30 billion yuan.
Later, the CPU architecture based on the RISC camp still failed to defeat the X86 architecture, and even Sony and Apple also invested in the X86 architecture.
But before that, the CPU of game consoles is still a market that can be competed for, and Tao Zhiming can get some opportunities from it because of his current relationship with Mitsui.
In this process, accumulating strength is more important.
Tao Zhiming has some money earned from other fields, which is invested in the hardware and software ecology of personal computers and future smart devices, laying the foundation first.
Hearing the resources that Tao Zhiming kept saying, Zhang Rujing could only be dumbfounded.
I thought he was panicking because he had too much money, but now it seems that the money is indeed ridiculously large, and this fire is also going to be burned.It sounds like a blueprint, but can it be realized?
"You mean... in the next ten years, the total amount of funds planned to be invested in this field is estimated to be 100 billion yuan?" Zhang Rujing was paralyzed.
"Mr. Zhang doesn't believe in my determination and strength?"
"No..." Zhang Rujing thought that he was considered to have the strength of more than 30 billion yuan, and thought that in another 10 years, it would be very difficult to exceed 100 billion. Besides, wouldn't it be necessary to abandon all other industries, or do it arbitrarily? borrow money?
Neon people really love to gamble!
No, he speaks Chinese quite well... Zhang Rujing asked: "President Tao, I'm a little confused. If you really have such determination and strength, you can find someone who is better than me now..."
With an annual salary of 365 million Hong Kong dollars, it is no big deal that the first two nodes can be put into production. With 1000 million chips, he also said that he does not need to manage the order... Is the 5% of the shares equivalent to giving away for free?If he really has such outrageous resources, it’s not too difficult for the chip factory to make a profit. Isn’t it just an annual salary of 365 million Hong Kong dollars plus 15% equity to invite him?
Zhang Rujing's gaze behind his eyes was very apprehensive, and he always felt a little underestimated.
When Tao Zhiming heard him ask this question, he said frankly: "Although I am mainly developing in Nihong now, my chip company is called Siyuan, and my surname is Tao. Did Mr. Zhang think of anything?"
"The chip is originally made of silicon wafers. It's a good name..." Zhang Rujing thought for a while, then suddenly remembered that he said his surname was Tao, he was a little stunned, and looked at him quietly.
"The bird loves the old forest, the pond fish thinks about the old abyss. Open up the wilderness and return to the garden." Tao Zhiming read a few words slowly, and then asked with a smile, "Mr. Zhang, if the silicon chip develops well, It’s not that we will only build a factory in Xiangdao.”
Zhang Rujing understood now, and remembered a sentence his father often asked him: "When will you return to the mainland of the motherland to build a factory?"
