Pls explain

sigh....masoyashi son did not become rich because of alibaba lmao....alibaba was still pretty small and insignificant throughout most of the 2000s.....alibaba only blew up in the 2010s........before that no one even knew what alibaba was..did u guys forget?ask anyone before 2010 what was alibaba...... yes softbank did lose 97 percent of its value in the 2000 crash but it was still worth a few billions lol!!!!!!????masoyashi son was still a billionaire....he was far from broke...... and softbank continued to grow stronger throughout the 2000s until its share price reached 1200 JPY in 2010......which means at that time softbank was already worth 20 billion US dollars 4 years before Alibaba IPO!!!!!! Softbank was a giant in telecoms in Japan, it did not need alibaba to become rich......Masoyashi Son was already filthy rich without alibaba...... even without alibaba masoyashi son will still be worth 5 to 10 billion or so comfortably in 2010........of course alibaba took him to the next level,jeff bezos level but..... my god,the consipracy theories the media and everyone takes and runs with...... In 2009 alibaba revenues was only 3 billion yuan or around 400 million USD......do u know how small is that?apple make 56 billion in PROFITS every year........amazon has revenues of more than 100 billion USD.....

Nothing better than a propaganda hit piece LOL

@@jont2576 thanks for explanation

was wondering why they mentioned SoftBank stock went up 70% in 2020, and his stellar investment results excluding Alibaba

🤣🤣🤣

😂😂

😆😆😆

Well lets hope they didn't make new financial instruments for a doctor.

Can’t wait for the next enron size scandal. Who’ll be first, softbank or the musketeer /s

Im smelling synthetic CDO's

All these hit videos on SoftBank but the financials tell a totally different story. In JPY Revenue 1.51T 10.72% Net income 1.17T 2029.46% Diluted EPS 575.55 2595.78% Net profit margin 77.74% 1824.26% Operating income 184.58B 13.49% Net change in cash -653.06B - Cash on hand 4.45T 17.02% Cost of revenue 759.02B 13.52% 70+% profit margin? Not bad. Pretty dang good.

@@aramirez4618 bu....buu...but bunch of "no skin in the game" (cliche and overused phrase - I know! I know!) are more cognisant than the actual Portfolio's performance. FT is respectable financial media company, however, these videos are just contents for the sake of contents. Mr. Arash (FT's corporate finance editor) seem very dismissive of the bloke.

no

@@bababistril yes

His actions say otherwise

Yeah, he sure got it right with WeWork as well.

Intel is so lazy. Remember how we stuck with Quad core for more than half decade? Heck if iPhone wasn’t a success I bet were still on Quadcore Macbook Pro that barely any faster than 4 years old Macbook

Son is his family name.. Why do you call him with his first name?

@@MrAdhiSuryana Remember spending about 5 years to get the 5nm chips? Crazy I know! Intel is the laziest company there is in terms of tech giant.

He looks Korean and Japanese combined. Not Chinese. Born in Japan but Bred in the U.S.

Haha. Your comment is a bad joke

20m turn to 120B is enough success .. Now he repeat the process of alibaba investment with more than 100 unicorn companies .. Out of these 100 he needs 5 new alibaba.

@@faisal19951 The odds of Alibaba-like payouts are probably closer to one in million than one in twenty.

@@faisal19951 But doesn't Softbank get only 25% of that 120 Billion? He only owns 25% of that company doesn't he??

@@aakashsuryi9098 Alibaba is 728 billion dollars. Softbank holds around 22% ish. Not too sure how much of softbank does masa own now. Since the share buyback, and other stuff I would guess 33% ish.

You're kidding! That Japanese journalist was annoying & so biased!

Yep, his net worth has increased by $20 billion since then and he is now worth $45 billion.

Bro no one in Manhattan who is still employed at a reputable firm is nearly this insane.

Who is Big iron?

@@samuelspencer5047 Big iron is slang for big super computers. a fun one is IBM used to be called 'big blue', always liked that one.

Naah

Cause son is just burning billions of dollars like its WSB, and he is doubling it whenever he is losing money. FT can't call him for what he is lollll

Warren Buffett's biggest creation is himself😂😂

Trump is not a billion billionaire.

No absolutely wrong. It’s a principled firm which had had its ideas and values determined years ago for when Wareen buffet passes. It’s unbelievably different

@@trueMatthewkirkham what is a 'principled firm' like what does that even mean. It really is the same for all these companies.,

Berkshire will do better without Warren.

@@niceguy3148 will do same they have system that know what’s behind the companies and will repeat what’s work but not wework 😆😆😆

FT is from UK lmao and UK is not part of Europe anymore since brexit

@@arifgunawan9329 uhm you are mixing up the Eropean Union and Europe...

How does that related to his character in investment?

They are telling his story so it is relevant to this video article.

@@enriksouls6636 they are focusing mainly on his investments he made not where he's born or is he Japanese or not

@@hayn98 This is true, but keep in mind that they give a brief about him to give context to the story. It has alot to do about cultural background when describing the man and figuring out why he may invest the way he does.

@@enriksouls6636 exactly. Thank you for your responses to these dumbasses

Not really

@@heyJustephan why?🙄

​@@arvindyadav6767 I could tell you but I don't know how much of Information you would understand. Takes way too much time to write it all down till it makes sense for you. If I threw out some information without source you would deny.

@@heyJustephan your insta I'd ?

@@arvindyadav6767 Why that lol

warren buffet invest over 6bill in japanese companies, not softbank tho

Yeah berskhire is good, but only at physical product companies. Buffet are so old and didn't understand technology, he invest at Apple 15 years TOO late.
