- Oct.11 -- SoftBank Group Corp. Chairman and CEO Masayoshi Son explains why he invested in a young Jack Ma even though Ma "had no business plan." He speaks with David Rubenstein for "The David Rubenstein Show: Peer-to-Peer Conversations" in a conversation recorded Sept. 19.

Masa should be on Shark Tank. No business plan, no revenue, but I liked his charisma. Here's $20 million. Nice...
dserenity69 real ones notice real one
I agree.
@@IPassing real eyes realize real lies
And it was about 20 years ago for that 20 mil...
I find shark tank is like a double edge sword you're losing a lot of gross income but you get instant money and connections but you could also fail to produce later on in the years driving you to go bankrupt and you lost the business bc you gave them 35% to 45% of your business to them while they dont really lose anything since most of the time the money they lent you was returned in a few years and then some.
Masoyoshi is one of those investors who are wise to see human character shine through in business
looks like jack ma has always looked 60 years old
😂😂😂😂😂
The guy has good judgment of character. And great instinct.
i think WEWORK is not one of them good instincts 🤔
@@thecowegg His ratio of great investments surpasses those who haven't done so great. Ultimately he won't lose anything as profits will surpass expenses or losses
Do not give up folks no matter how hard it is.
From 20 millions to 90 billions is an increase of 450,000 %, not 4,500. He meant 4,500 TIMES of an increase.
Can you imagine, Masa investing in someone based on the look in their eyes? That's almost like love at first sight! Jokes aside, he has a level of discernment to be able to read people like a book, which is probably why he got in on Jack Ma
lost 70+billion..but hey I'm still a billionaire
Those "somehow I survived" last words touched me in I dont know what kind of way they gave a me feeling. Just shows no one is untouchable rich or poor.
He is gambler and a good one.
Thats not a gamble
you know he invested in we work right?
This guy is the biggest hero in investing!!!
Am here for alibaba story but apparently it is just a few seconds then host asked something else. Disappointed.
NOT 4500% but 4500 times
Vinext Tan 4500%=45times. 200%=2time
lol you are obviously not an asian
A return of 4500% on 20 million isn't even 1 billion.
20 million to 90 billion is...
X4500 which is 450000%
100% increase is 2x
Mateusz Cybulski Technically, x100% = x1
That explains how WeWork got billions from him, too.
It was pretty good before it went wrong xd
His aim is actually to bring WeWork into Japan too, renting offices has become so expensive in Tokyo, WeWork might actually succeed there if they are not making anymore stupid decision haha
this guy is a clown who got lucky on one deal. he failed in 99% of his investments but Alibaba saved him
@@vindukur100 You know nothing about him. Never judge a book by its cover.
@@vindukur100 Nope. He has an extremely good track record, buying ARM and 80% of Googles robotic company. Most robots you see in the future will be produced by a company in softbank portfolio. They have over $19 Trillion in assets
Jack ma is the one of the most intelligent and very hard work in business....
Man this guy plays with his money like a toy
He has earned the right to, once you acquire financial wealth you ought to be free to spend it as wisely or as foolishly as you see fit.
I can't understand this interview is legendary and it has only 300k views
The Masayoshi's sense of humour in enjoyably fascinating ❤😅
More like 45000%, however Masa Son’s 20m investment is most likely to be around 30% of the company.
Jack is a true inspiration.
Interesting criteria for investing, I guess attitude is everything 👌.
How did he survive??
Thanks
He knows how to spot persons with special ability.
He couldn't spot a nutcase with WeWork
@@lessQQmorePewPew. Jack Ma is a nutcase. What is your point?
Great talk :))
The problem here is you don't hear from those who invested using the same kind of strategy and lost all and jumped off high sky building. He may be the only few who is like that, just like earth is one of the few in the Universe that can sustain life.
So how much is he getting in return?
strong, shining eyes
It is NOT the fall that counts, its the recovery afterwards!
Who else thought Jack Ma is older than Masayoshi?
Masa just want to change the world...Masa has changed the world..SoftBank has changed the world..
If you can survive a stock loss of billions up to a point of bankruptcy, then you are destined to be rich.
You only talk about Masayoshi Son but you never mention his daughter.
like winning the lottery
"So 20 million to 90 billion is a return of about 4500 %"

Masayoshi Son - Hold my BEER
Hi. He liked Jack's personality and skills. I though, he was Masayoshi's son- son was is his last name, lol. God bless, Proverbs 31
"Somehow I survived."
Wow being a billionaire is a risky business. It fluctuates up and down
This guy is not only filthy rich, his a natural comedian haha
Who invested 100 billion usd?
Without Softbank investment, Ali & We Work until today can't even survive...
Wait, whose son is Masayoshi?
He loses a lot of money but makes a shitload more.
He has social enterprises everywhere that make money. He invested in alot of businesses when he was young so if one business goes down in stock he has money coming from elsewhere
Ali baba name reminds me about Ali baba and the 40 thieves!
😊😉😂

The eyes Chico, they never lie.
I did not loose 60 billion. Why he is richer than me?
Calm & confident 👍

His father was korean, and was zainichi, but recently he became japanese.
"HIS EYES WERE TOO STRONG"
the reason why jack (forced) retired...
Why?
Unlike 1mdb funding
Didn't he reinvest ? The tec Revolution :)
20 million to own a part of Alibaba. Alibaba going public valued at 90 billion so softbank stake would be worth less I suppose not a return of 4500 times.
Yafoo 😃
You don’t need any business, only eyes.... -> Adam Neumann
lmao
After investing $20 million in Alibaba, he got a key to Alibaba's treasure cave.
Step 1: copy American tech company business model
Step 2: take model and apply to Chinese domestic market.
Step 3: have Chinese government exclude American tech company from doing businesses in China.
Step 4: profit from monopoly.
Smart
Legit what happened
Asian bros working together
sarai shin Kai It's not about race. Chinese and Japanese consider themselves distinctly different cultures and people and don't lump ourselves together the way Asian-Americans like to do.
the real MAGA!
plumeria66 white washed you mean
Beside Japans always hate the Chinese, yeah keep staring at them
Andrew G I’m Japanese but I don’t
This man was a legend until Adam Neumann (WeWork) showed up
GGWP sayonara masayoshi san
He head no bussines plan ?hahaha
Masayoshi better sells all shares of Alibaba. Alibaba won't getting better without Jack Ma. Unless the Chinese government let him control it behind the scene.
4500*100%, not 4500%
and today jack ma is richer than him wowwww
Dude lost billions of dollars but still has billions of dollars. The rich stays rich.
Other dude wasted all of his monthly payment for beer still has no money. The poor stays poor.
he finished high school in 3 weeks, it seems to me that he rightfully earned his status.
*Either this guy is a mind reader or he can see the future.*
Not really. Hint : WeWork
@@aniketphatak951hard to say yet. he lose a lot of money in the dotcom era as well
WeWentBroke lol
Funny how you hear about the richest man in the world having 70 billion dollars net worth back in the day, then you find out this guy lost 70 billion dollars in 2000. I wonder how many other billionaires lost a shit ton of money.
Hmmm.... Now I understand why SoftBank invested in WeWorks ... Lol ! He looked at the founder's eyes !! .... Lol
eyes of dragon ma...
if i got this $20 million, I will be the world's richest man worth more than $1 trillion
it still depends on the individual, even if you got a free $1billion dollars from anyone its still based on your decisions to become richer
But as long as you believe in yourself and work hard there is nothing in this world that can prevent you from achieving your goals!
Good luck bruh 🔥

Wow. Billionaire yet?
How did this man make his first money?
Son invented an electronic translator that he sold to Sharp Corporation for $1.7 million. He made another $1.5 million by importing used video game machines from Japan, on credit, and installing them in dormitories and restaurants. Then he invested in Mcdonalds franchises in japan. This was when he was 19yrs old early 20s. He is a self made billionaire as his family are working class migrants from korea
Get Off This Rock Travel very impressive! And thank you so much for taking the time to write that answer. 👍🏼 ive never heard of son before.
@@bastianrivero no worries mate. I guess sons key to success is getting there first with an idea and selling it as an entrepreneur and building on it amd alot of luck as well. To me im happy to just have couple million if successful sell the business and bail lol
Get Off This Rock Travel i know what you mean 😂 you can do it!

What are you talking about?
So if I have strong eyes but a bad business model I get a few Millions? lol I can see why he will goes broke in not time.
Jack Ma got the confidence, enthusiasm and He can bring a lot of people to follow him. Business is not only about whether you are smart or not. But you have to be wise too.
He sound like a communist party and im in ...
Because the CCP asked him to do so.
Bad investment !
