Volume 1: Japanese Storm Chapter 22: Mitsui Aiko's Raid (5)

  Inoue Kazuo looked at the person sitting in front of him with great interest! Paul Allen, Microsoft's second-largest shareholder and CEO of St. Louis Cable TV Company in the United States.

  Inamori Kazuo: "Mr. Paul's intention is to acquire the fixed-line telephone business under NTT?"

  Paul Allen: "Mr. Nishi, I think it's already clearly stated in the proposal! St. Louis wants to get the permanent use right of NTT's fixed telephone network! In exchange for this permanent use right, St. Louis Cable TV will not only acquire NTT's fixed telephone business under the brand name 'NTT', but also participate in the expansion work of NTT's fixed telephone network throughout Japan! The acquisition price is $1 billion!"

  Inamori Kazuo: "Trillion dollars?"

  Paul Allen: "Yes, $7 billion." Four companies' fixed-line telephone business, excluding Nextel!

  IDO network is a mobile communication network built jointly by Toyota Motor Corporation and Kyocera Corporation, based on Motorola's design of car phone network.

  In the 1980s, there were three major telecommunications companies in Japan: Nippon Telegraph and Telephone Corporation (NTT), which was privatized from a state-owned enterprise and still had a significant stake held by the Japanese government; Daini Denden Inc., established by Kyocera Corp.; and Japan Telecom Co. Ltd., established by Toyota Motor Corp.'s parent company, Mitsui Group.

  In front of the giant, he trembled like a small and pitiful chick.

  So, the $44.6 billion bid left Masayoshi Son utterly perplexed! Is Microsoft's second-largest shareholder a far-sighted genius or a reckless spendthrift?

  To be honest, Paul Allen really has a bit of a reckless flavor! Since Jerry found him and stuffed a triple-play plan into his hands, this guy has been a little crazy! Telecom network, computer network, cable TV network, triple play! What else is in this little guy's brain?!

  Jerry: "How about it? Paul, are you interested in a plan like this?"

  Paul Allen: "Of course we're interested!"

  Jerry: "Alright! If you're interested, put your money where your mouth is! At least $10 billion!"

  Paul Allen: "Even if I sold St. Louis Cablevision, I didn't have that kind of money!"

  Jerry: "Don't you still have 3% of Microsoft's shares in your hands?"

  Paul Allen: "Ray, did you have your mind made up all along?"

  Jerry smiled but said nothing!

  But Paul Allen still readily transferred his old Microsoft shares!

  Why Paul Allen and not Bill Gates? That's one of the reasons!

  In Paul Allen's eyes, Microsoft shares were just a form of capital. Anytime he needed funds, he would sell off some of Microsoft's shares! And this time, the buyer was that whiz kid, who not only gave him a very good price but also an excellent investment plan!

  Triple play. If this plan can be implemented smoothly in Japan, St. Louis Cable TV Company can also learn from the successful experience and widely apply commercial cable television to life!

  That bold vision of a computer network tidal wave really got him all fired up!

  Interested in all technological innovations, especially with a strong interest in cable television networks and the Internet, this is another reason why Jerry sought out Paul Allen!

  Kazuo Inamori is not clear why Paul Allen has such a great interest in NTT's fixed-line telephone business, but he himself thinks that NTT's fixed-line telephone business will have very little growth in the future. That is to say, this is no longer a sunrise industry! And NTT's internal personnel are also because of such analysis, early on determined the company's main development direction in the field of mobile communications. The network is their bright future.

  With such a giant, the market share of fixed-line telephone communications in Japan will not exceed 10%. So, $2 billion is a very reasonable price! Moreover, KDDI not only did not lose the right to use the fixed-line network, but also got a strong ally.

  "After consultations with multiple joint venture partners including Mitsubishi Shokai and Sony, the fixed-line telephone business of China Netcom was sold to US-based St. Louis Cable TV Company for $1 billion. The transfer contract stipulates that St. Louis Cable TV Company and China Netcom jointly own the usage rights and development obligations of China Netcom's fixed-line telephone network except for the network itself."

  After this, St. Louis Cablevision quickly reached a deal with Cox Communications.

  "As long as you pull a four-line phone, you can open the cable TV business of Lianyi TV Station while making a call! No installation fee, no cable TV usage fee, and ten major preferential packages are waiting for your choice! Go to each big four business hall to handle business, prepaid phone bills also have extra surprises waiting"

  Similar handbills are flying everywhere through Sanxitang and Diele's channels!

  When Akatsuki TV disappeared from the eyes of Japanese citizens for nearly a month, this news undoubtedly detonated the enthusiasm of Japanese citizens! In everyone's subconscious mind, the content of cable TV is often more exciting than that of wireless broadcasting TV! Moreover, this time, opening up cable TV does not require any fees, where can you find such a good thing?! As a result, under the drive of this idea, the fixed telephone business in 04 exploded with growth!

  Along with the explosive growth of NTT's fixed telephone business, the number of employees also skyrocketed. The expansion and improvement of fixed telephone networks in all 43 prefectures of Japan were put on the agenda!

  Inamori Kazuo was left speechless!

  Is Paul Allen giving up? No, absolutely not!

  After analyzing the flyer and making a precise analysis of various packages on the flyer, such as the monthly package for 4 minutes of fixed calling time at ￥1,000, with excess time charged at ￥10 per minute, what else could Inamori Yasuo do besides feeling helpless?

  Even more profitable!

  More terrifying than Bikini Bottom!

  Japanese nationals are unknowingly being ripped off by exorbitant profits while praising and paying at the same time!

  Paul, Allen, Paul, Ai Xin

  The university campus TV and Jodo Shadan TV, which had already been invested in by the income group, completed resource integration and converged into a new network, Japan University Student Broadcasting Network!

  We are in the east.

  "We are in big"

  We are in the North Sea

  We are in Fuzhou.

  "We are in big"

  "Want to know about our lives? Want to know about Japanese university students? Want to know what's going on in contemporary Japanese universities? Join us, join the underground cable"

  I am Nanako Matsushima

  I am Nakahara Yuko

  "I am Yoshitsune Minamoto"

  "We are secondary"

  "The moon's glow is not dim"

  Students' uniforms of pure series are flying everywhere!

  A long-planned lawsuit was delivered to the Tokyo court, defendant: Fuji TV! Charge: Plagiarism!

  The company's president, Yoshimura Kanichi, held a promotional brochure for the new fixed-line telephone business in one hand and market data for the past 100 months in the other. His eyes turned black and he suffered a cerebral hemorrhage!

  As for Mitsui Aiko, sorry about that, she's currently in the kendo hall, fully armed and clashing loudly!
