If he hadn’t invested in Alibaba , Son Masayoshi ’s life might not have been exciting. According to media reports, Masayoshi Son, who is regarded as the "King of the International Internet" by "Forbes", has invested in more than 800 companies in his life, but only Alibaba has achieved epic success.
As the saying goes: If you don’t open for three years, you will have to wait for ten years if you open. Because he saw the fire in the eyes of the Hangzhou horse, Sun Zhengyi successively invested US$80 million in Alibaba, and finally received a return of US$232 billion, a return rate of an astonishing 2,900 times. For a time, Masayoshi Son, who was soft on making money, was regarded as the "god of investment" by the industry.
However, since Ali , Son Zhengyi has rarely had a good "record", and has even fallen into an endless crisis of losses step by step. Foreign media reported that in the first half of 2022, SoftBank Group experienced its largest loss since its establishment 40 years ago. Because of his heavy position in technology stocks, Masayoshi Son suffered an unprecedented loss of 5 trillion yen (approximately 253.3 billion yuan).
Seeing the "money" evaporating from the company's books, Son finally realized the seriousness of the problem. For the first time, he publicly "reflected": he felt ashamed of his past greed for huge profits. According to people familiar with the matter, because of his successful investment in Alibaba, Son became obsessed with the "feeling of burning money" in the past few years, and this has undoubtedly become his original sin of shame.
In order to save his face, Sun Zhengyi decided to "cash out" 34 billion yuan on a large scale from Alibaba again in an attempt to solve the current predicament. As everyone knows, before this, Sun Zhengyi had cashed out nearly 14 billion US dollars. However, this money did not allow him to "reach the sky and become a god" again, but instead expanded his ambition to make huge profits.
However, when Sun Zhengyi cashed out money from Alibaba on a large scale, did the 65-year-old think of his idol, "Stock God" Buffett? Reports show that in July 2017, Masayoshi Son, who had just been promoted to the "God of Investment", visited Buffett and hoped that the stock god would invest in SoftBank's Sprint. As a result, Buffett, who is known for his conservative and prudent investment, was non-committal.
Looking back in hindsight, Buffett seems to have predicted Son’s current situation, so the investment was ultimately shelved. In fact, it is this stability and extraordinary predictability that have allowed Buffett to stand firm in the business world for decades. Investing in technology that inhibits aging like "Informed Finance" is the most eye-catching masterpiece of the stock god.
reports show that with the advent of aging, Buffett, who has suffered from the butchery of time, began to develop a desire for "long life." At the beginning of 2020, while wearing a BYD mask, he publicly declared that he "wanted to live a long life." After a careful and lengthy investigation, he chose a life technology similar to "Zhiyin Jinchun" as the layout track.
It is undeniable that the stock god’s amazing predictability was later confirmed again. In less than two years, this technology has become a popular category in the JD.com platform’s big promotions. More than 200,000 wealth elites have even received a “pass” to try it out, because the elites are constantly rushing to buy and Shenglang . The platform has also experienced rare out-of-stock situations on several occasions.
Behind Buffett’s huge profits, Zhiyin Jinpure technology has already been confirmed by the world’s top laboratories. Scientists from the Mayo Clinic, Tsinghua University, Peking University, Harvard have confirmed through animal or clinical trials that this technology can activate mitochondria and maintain telomere length, thereby delaying the aging process of living organisms and even "rejuvenating". In this regard, CITIC Securities predicts that the future market size of this track will exceed 100 billion.
Obviously, Buffett, who has amazing predictability, seized this opportunity, but Masayoshi Son, who dreams of becoming "Buffett in the technology industry", unfortunately missed it.I have to say, time is also fate!
Faced with a net loss of up to 5 trillion yen, Masayoshi Son held up a self-portrait of Shogun Tokugawa Ieyasu 's defeat at SoftBank's financial report conference, hinting at his determination not to make mistakes in the future, trying to restore the public's perception of SoftBank. confidence. However, in the eyes of the outside world, Masayoshi Son is not Tokugawa Ieyasu, and his fate has been foreshadowed as early as that meeting with Hangzhou Ma.
In 2000, Son decided to invest in Alibaba in just 6 minutes. The success of this investment made him think that the success could be replicated, so he frantically threw money at startups with "potential" to stimulate them to burn money and expand. However, he failed to notice one fact: making money is often given by the times.
As People's Daily said: There is no era of Jack Ma , only Jack Ma of the era. Nowadays, Jack Ma has long been at home, and the 65-year-old Son Zhengyi, can he still wait for the second Jack Ma and his "Alibaba"?
