Chapter 1688 Competition Between All Parties 3

The day passed quickly, and this time it was even more intense. As long as the conditions are right, the price is about the same; Blackstone Fund will basically agree. Real estate agencies in Japan have made a lot of money. Many of them think that it is a pleasure to cooperate with the world's richest man, and they will never argue with you over a small amount of money!

At this moment, not only ordinary people, but also some members of the chaebol family are ready to take action. Don’t take advantage of the bastard, no one wants to miss this opportunity.

Morita Junfu is one of them. In fact, he was not called this name originally. But because he married Akio Morita's youngest daughter, and she was still a kind of son-in-law, he had no choice but to change his gender. To this, the Japanese seemed to have no problem with it.

Japan’s “adopted son-in-law” is China’s door-to-door son-in-law.

Most areas in China are different from Japan in that Chinese people do not change their surnames after marriage, and there were no marriages with the same surname in ancient times. But in Japan, it is necessary to change the surname after marriage. The logic of the adopted son-in-law and the adopted son-in-law is the same.

However, in some places in China, there is also the custom of changing the surname based on birth, but generally speaking, by default in China, the son-in-law only has the child's surname to follow the mother's surname, and it is impossible for the husband to change his surname.

At the same time, Japan has a high proportion of door-to-door sons-in-law, and there are even more politicians and entrepreneurs.

It is very common in Japan for a family to be inherited by an outsider. Compared to a family, a Japanese family is closer to a company and is a limited liability company. This should be related to Japan's feudal system.

After all, before the Meiji Restoration, only feudal lords could legally own surnames; similar to the inheritance problem of European aristocrats, Japan's tradition is that there is no family; family property is inherited by one child, resulting in a large number of men with good backgrounds but no assets in society. In Japan, which is extremely involved, except for inheriting other families; they basically have no chance to get ahead.

Adopting children is just one way of passing on family traditions in Japan. If there is no daughter, the godson will inherit directly. Their adoption is casual; like hiring managers, they do what they can and don't do what they can't.

The biggest difference between Japan and China is the adoption system itself. For example, grandpa raised his grandson as an adopted son. In the eyes of Chinese people, this is not only absurd, but also against morality. However, it is normal in Japan that grandfathers and grandsons improve the inheritance relationship through the law and avoid some unexpected situations. Their adoption is actually a legal concept, with only the adopter and the adoptee, and no genetic logic.

In addition, there are cases where one spouse directly adopts the other without getting married. This is more common among homosexuals. When the legal relationship between husband and wife cannot be realized, the parent-child relationship is used to protect property from being taken away by outsiders.

Traditionally, in ancient China, the scientific research and official career of a son-in-law who came to the house were restricted; this is not the case in Japan. From ancient times to the present, many sons-in-law have inherited the family business.

A son-in-law or adopted son inherits family property and has a higher status than blood-related children. Of course, the Japanese are very strict in selecting their son-in-law. It is definitely impossible for people from big families to agree. Under normal circumstances, they are selected from within the company.

It can be said that they are all the smartest and most capable young men in the company, otherwise my father-in-law would not look down on them.

Morita Shunfu is such a person. After graduating from college, he went to work at Sony. Unlike other elites who have been developing in the field of scientific research, he is mainly responsible for acquisitions and corporate mergers and acquisitions.

And because of the early acquisition of Columbia Pictures in the United States, Sony became famous around the world. Having achieved such outstanding results at such a young age, Akio Morita naturally entered his field of vision.

Of course, Takakura Jiro was still very young at that time. If the conditions were right, he might really have to compete with Ibuka.

It was precisely because of such outstanding performance that Akio Morita decided to marry his daughter to him; you must know that an old fox is absolutely cautious when choosing a successor.

Today is Zhou, as usual. Akio Morita's family will have dinner together. The children have grown up; they also need their own space. But after all, we are members of a family, so we still have to get together in our free time; it is also to let the younger generations know who is the closest person to them.

But what Akio Morita didn't expect was that his son-in-law, Shunfu Morita, hadn't arrived yet. As a door-to-door son-in-law, I usually don’t say the first one, but it’s almost the same. What's going on today? Is there something important? The daughter only knew that after receiving a phone call, she went out immediately without saying anything.

The sons-in-law who come to the house are very capable, so the wives are basically housewives! It’s normal to not know your husband’s job!

This can't help but make people curious, is there some secret? Or maybe there is an emergency in the company.

At this time, Morita Akio knew that his energy was not as good as before. So I focused on Sony electronics, audio and video, and games. Other things are basically left to the people below to manage. As for Sony's investment department, my son-in-law has managed it very well over the years, so he has not been too involved.

In fact, not only was it not involved in the Sony Investment Department, but even though the Japanese stock market and property market were soaring, they felt that it had little to do with them. My thinking can no longer keep up with the pace of young people, so there is no need to participate in the transition. When it's time to delegate power, you still have to delegate power; that's what Jing Shenda did back then, and it may also be a tradition of Sony.

As long as members of the Morita family are not traveling for business, they will rarely miss family gatherings. This is especially true for my son-in-law, who is the first one to come over every time. Today was very strange, and Morita Akio inevitably became curious.

Without keeping his family waiting, Shunfu Morita quickly arrived at his old house, where Akio Morita lived.

As a door-to-door son-in-law, no one in the family dared to look down on him. After all, this is very common in Japan. If you really dare to target others, you will definitely offend many people. Many big shots are born as son-in-laws, and it is easy to hurt innocent people. When everyone comes together to deal with you, it will be impossible to explain clearly.

Akio Morita smiled and said: "Work is very important, but you must pay attention to rest; a balance between work and rest is also very important."

To be able to become one of Japan's four major business sages is indeed not a simple person; not only does the business run well, but he is also a good handler of family affairs.

He didn't blame his son-in-law for being late, but he cared about his health. Anyone who heard this would be very touched.

Morita Junfu said with a smile: "Thank you for your father's concern. It's actually not bad. I'm not tired at work now, and my subordinates are good at doing things. It's just that today's situation is special, so I decided to go there in person."

Even if you are not involved in the specific management of Sony Investment Company, since your son-in-law mentioned it, you will inevitably become curious. Although business and family matters have to be separated, there are a few people who can do it completely.

Perhaps seeing his father-in-law's curiosity, Shunfu Morita continued: "Two days ago, Blackstone Fund sold real estate in Setagaya District. We got the news relatively late. We didn't catch up, and in the end we only bought two units."

"But today they started to sell off their properties in Tokyo. The opportunity is very rare. And judging from the situation, Bao Zixuan wants to evacuate Japan. I heard that the Heiyun Town project requires too much funds. In addition, there is too much investment in Northern Europe, and the funds There were some deficiencies in this aspect; that’s why we had to sell off our properties in Japan.”

"The properties held by Blackstone Fund are mostly in core areas. In addition, they want to withdraw funds quickly, so the prices are relatively low; they are even about 10% lower than the overall price on the market. It seems that Bao Zixuan has no choice, maybe due to financial pressure It’s huge.”

At first, Akio Morita didn't care, but after hearing Bao Zixuan's name, he immediately became uneasy. Others don't understand, but he knows very well what kind of person Bao Shaofu is. Don't say take one step at a time and see three steps at a time, but never fight an unprepared battle.

Even if the country is short of money, Akio Morita believes it. But to say that Bao Zixuan is short of money definitely raises a big question mark.

It doesn’t matter how many stations sell Heiyun Group’s ordinary products every year. The licensing of flying saucer technology and production lines at the French air show alone has earned tens of billions of dollars in profits. In addition, after the discovery of Solomon's treasure, many wealthy Jewish businessmen lined up to buy it; they would never sell off the property they wanted to continue to hold because of financial problems.

There is only one result for selling Japanese real estate and stocks; if you think there is no room for growth, you have already reached the highest point; if you cannot make a profit, you will directly liquidate your position. If there is no room for growth, it would be acceptable, but when Japan's property and stock markets fall across the board, or even to a large extent, then it will be very dangerous for Sony to hold so much real estate and stocks.

It's not impossible, otherwise with Bao Zixuan's financial resources and cash reserves, he would never sell it off. These are all real profits, and that guy is definitely not that generous!
