Masayoshi Son is a man of great wisdom and foolishness, with almost no superfluous words, just like the characters in martial arts: 1. Quick decision; Second, I want to do great things; Third, be able to do things according to your own ideas. -Ma Yun, Chairman of the Board of Directors of Alibaba Group

If a person uses more than ten meters of data to make a career choice, and if a person's eyes are always looking at decades or even three hundred years later, it is probably difficult to let such a person fail completely. -media reporter

Mr. Sun Zhengyi, president of Software Bank, has created an Internet empire in a blink of an eye, and he is starting to implement his own 3-year business plan. Mr. Masayoshi Son deserves to be the king of the Internet. -American Forbes magazine

At that time, many people at Yahoo thought he was crazy. It took a lot of initiative to spend 1 million dollars in February 1996, but I don't think his success depends on luck. He is a person who can look forward to 15 to 2 years. -Jerry Yang (founder of Yahoo!)

Son has a special liking for computers like Bill Gates; In the field of venture capital, his heavy punches are quite george soros's style; In choosing the target, he is a bit like Warren Buffett, the most outstanding securities investor in the world today-the invincible way is to do your homework and then act. -American e-commerce magazine

Mr. Sun Zhengyi is a strange man. He is a typical oriental man. He is only 5 feet tall, but he is really a handsome man. Mr. Sun has the characteristics of a short and great man, and his own unique qualities are not owned by others. Mr. Sun has the instinct of Americans to do business, the momentum of Japanese and the root-holding spirit of Koreans. Mr. Sun's greatest ideal is to travel in the electronic space.

Mr. Masayoshi Son is a Korean Peninsula Chinese born in Japan, a third-generation Chinese who has settled in Japan, a Han Chinese whose ancestral home is Putian, Fujian, China, and his family ancestor is a Korean Peninsula Chinese. His grandfather Sun Zhongqing moved to Japan from South Korea. He has been very interested in American affairs since he was a child. In particular, I admire the story of Den Fujita, a local Japanese businessman, who successfully turned McDonald's into a chain restaurant loved by all ages. When the Fujita businessman met Sun Zhengyi as a teenager, he encouraged him to study in America.

In p>1975, Mr. Sun transferred to a community college, and two years later he transferred to the University of California, Berkeley, to study economics. During school, he spends five minutes every day thinking about new inventions. At the age of 19, he invented a pocket translator, so he hired a professor to make a prototype of the translator, then applied for a patent and sold the translator to Sharp Company for $1 million. Up to now, Sharp still applies the translator technology to its Wizard personal electronic manager.

when Mr. Sun was still at school, he sketched out the rudiments of 4 companies, and designed a 5-year plan to establish companies, how to raise capital and how to pass on inventions. Although Mr. Sun thought so at that time, he still didn't know what industry he wanted to do. After graduating from Berkeley University in 198, Mr. Sun returned to Japan and continued to revise his business plan. Soon, he decided to engage in the software wholesale industry.

at the age of p>23, he founded the software banking company. His company's software sales performance ranks first in Japan. Mr. Sun used his company to publish several magazines aimed at educating customers to buy the products of the software bank. In 1994, his software banking company went public and raised $14 million. Since then, Softbank Group has begun to take off by leaps and bounds.

Mr. Sun Zhengyi's experience concept and enterprise operation courage are very popular. In 1995, he took a good look at the network industry and decided to make a huge investment in this area. At that time, he selected Yahoo, and the first investment for Yahoo was $2 million. Soon, he had dinner with Yang Zhiyuan, the founder of Yahoo!, and said that he would reinvest in Yahoo and invest more than 1 million dollars in exchange for a 33% stake in Yahoo! After listening to Mr. Sun's proposal, Mr. Yang Zhiyuan thinks that Mr. Son is crazy. Even he doesn't know the future of Yahoo! How dare he give so much money to a new company that has just started? However, in March 1996, Mr. Sun really invested more than 1 million dollars in Yahoo, and later he invested a lot of money, one of which was 355 million dollars.

with the funds, Yahoo has become the number one internet company in the world. Mr. Sun Zhengyi's software banking group company is the largest shareholder of Yahoo, and the investment has been exchanged for today's harvest. The market value of Softbank Group's shares in Yahoo Company is 8.4 billion US dollars (July 1999). If Mr. Sun had not been so bold and dared to invest, it would have been impossible to get fruitful results.

In p>1999, at a project evaluation meeting that gathered the big names of the Internet at that time (Wang Zhidong, Zhang Chaoyang, Ding Lei, etc.), Masayoshi Son took a fancy to Ma Yun's Alibaba company, which was slightly improved at that time. He felt great potential for Ma Yun's idea that the Internet would leap from the era of "netizens" to the era of "online merchants" and immediately expressed his strong investment intention. Although Ma Yun unexpectedly did not accept it at that time, Masayoshi Son did not.

After that, more than 2 days later, Masayoshi Son renegotiated the investment with Jack Ma. After six minutes' deliberation, Jack Ma agreed to Masayoshi Son's investment of 3 million yuan, accounting for 3% of Alibaba's shares (later, in order to weigh the company's cost and development, Jack Ma finally changed it to a financing plan of 2 million yuan). Later, the story of "2 million yuan was finalized in six minutes" was also passed down as a much-told story. You

Mr. Sun Zhengyi's management style and investment vision are even more unique. Mr. Sun does things neatly, and once he makes a decision, he does it immediately. After purchasing Comdex and Ziff-Davis, the Software Banking Group made a real profit after proper operation.

Mr. Cotsakos, president of p>eTrade company, turned to Softbank group for help with an investment of $4 million. After Mr. Sun weighed it, he remitted $4 million with one phone call, without any conditions. Later, Mr. Cotsakos' company insisted repeatedly, and Mr. Sun agreed to be the director of the company. The return on this investment after one year is $2.4 billion.

Mr. Sun is unique in managing and using money. He can really make money and spend money. Mr. Sun raised more funds with little money. He used $3 billion to buy American industries, which was twice as much as his assets, leaving him in debt, but he calmly operated the funds and successfully bought Comdex and Ziff-Davis. His company was successful, and he himself became the world's richest man, with personal assets reaching $6.4 billion.

the most remarkable thing about Mr. Masayoshi Son is his thinking concept. He can see the future business direction and development prospects from the current business. He sees the future not as 1 or 2 years, but as 1 years. He made a 3-year enterprise plan. Such a vision is really unparalleled. Mr. Sun's 3-year plan will make Softbank Group's network industry empire stronger and more powerful.
