I love guys like this. When I was a kid, I was a seat partner on a plane with a Japanese salesman who entertained me with magnets and stories on a long flight from Australia to Germany. He gave me his card, being 8 years old I did not have a business card. I checked up on him 20 years later and found out he had become a top executive at Mitsubishi Electric.

[@varunishere]

@Cosmonauteable wow!

[@benrivera3298]

Had a similar experience, except it involved a Japanese flight attendance, who gave me a handjob. Didnt get her name, let alone her card.

Son loses 70 billion dollars overnight - "maybe this is a good thing?" What a man. This is the first time I've laughed during one of your videos.

[@e1123581321345589144]

A good business man sees the opportunities, not the problems. And in the end what's 70 billion to 8 billion? Granted, the absolute difference is huge but in regards to personal wealth it's just numbers in a bank. There isn't much that you can do wit 70 billion that you can't already do with 8 billion or even 1 billion.

[@mohamedmahadi3607]

e1123581321345589144 if business man were like you thought, they would all be bankrupt. What is the point in seeing only the opportunities in something.

[@e1123581321345589144]

@JetWing, don't put words in my mouth, I din't say only, and you obviously haven't understood the point of my comment. The point was that it's not worth spending your time on problems you can't fix, it's rather more lucrative to look for new opportunities. If you can fix the problem then it's a matter of cost/benefit but if you can't fix it there is no point in lamenting over it is there?

[@hellfrost333]

Elon was laughing after totaling a Lamborghini and when asked what's so funny he replayed: "It's not Insured"

[@DrSardonicus]

It’s not about the loss, you morons. The quote was in relation to the opportunities made available thanks to the recession. On the one hand - everything lost value and people lost billions. On the other hand - everything was suddenly dirt cheap. Because everything lost value. Duh! So if you still had money. Then you could buy EVERYTHING and become super wealthy again. So yes. It was a good thing. He still had $8B. He still had massive purchasing power in a market where the value of things were rock bottom. Imagine 99% sales. The value of these things only had one way to go. UP! The market WILL recover and it did. This is how ALL business has made money in ALL history. Take advantage of when prices are low. Spend spend spend. Buy buy buy. Invest heavily then reap the rewards when the value of things rise again. Everybody keeps crying about how bad the recession was. The recession was only bad to poor people who didn’t have extra money to survive through the tough years. Rich people lost a lot of money. But as long as they still had SOME money then they just got richer after the recession passed.

[@cryptonative]

Literally believed SoftBank was runned by Masayoshis' business oriented son.

You really put a lot of research and effort into your videos. They're almost like mini documentaries and always leave me craving more information. My hat off to you sir!!

[@elbaekk]

I had never heard of SoftBank. Thank you for teaching me, Dagogo. I love when you present these great entrepreneurs.

[@ItchyKneeSon]

Neither had I until I came to Japan where they're one of the 'big 3' mobile phone service providers. When I heard that they bought my previous cell provider in the U.S., Sprint, I knew they were bigger than just another multi-faceted Japanese company. 3-4 years ago, Yahoo! Mobile got kickstarted and uses the SoftBank network to operate. I jumped ship from DoCoMo and have been a satisfied Y!Mobile customer ever since.

[@MM-xm5vx]

[@jamesmay2343]

compare to elon musk?

[@nicksmith6629]

James May - elon musk aint shit in the smarts department, he has even said so. Like steve jobs, he knows business... he made great investments years ago. He simply has the money to do what he wants. Most keep their money or spend it wisely, not risk.

[@kly8105]

In japan there are tons of rumors about the shady practices behind softbank's expansion tactics. You dont need to do much to dig dirt on his business. So no i dont think he's cool.

[@mindyours752]

Okay buddy.

[@kfcthanksgiving]

Mind Yours What seems to be the problem?

[@mindyours752]

Look up DARPA

[@kfcthanksgiving]

Mind Yours DARPA funds Boston Dynamics, as they do most preeminent robotics companies. What’s the problem?

[@mindyours752]

+KFCthanksgiving Boston Dynamics is signed under a military contract; which Softbanks(that created Pepper) now owns Boston Dynamics; which is controlled by DARPA. Even their first model is suspended while wearing military fatigues. Picture a robot that can fully read you and mimic human behavior, but with the capabilities to out perform you. That shyt is dangerous. Look at Drones. Originally a surveillance system. then it was planted with bombs. I can clearly see where this is going. The fact Google has their stake in the company is scary as is. Especially with their Duplex program. Elon's OpenAI is worry some as it already is. Yet let a hyper intelligent machine that can read and interact with your emotions vividly with high advanced intelligence and reflexes. While programed to neutralize an individual. I just don't see the upside to any of this. People laugh but Detroit: Become Human, and BBC show Humans is coming closer and closer to being an actual thing. The moment they find a way to properly apply human synthetic tissue or a simulation of it onto an artificial being. Not only would it be a job scare. Yet they would found a more solid way to police people, and enforce martial law. The fact that technology stocks are the highest. It shows they are really pushing for this to happen sooner then later.

Just an update, as of May 20th 2018, Softbank sold all their shares in Flipkart to Walmart at a whopping price of $4 billion, earning $1.5 billion, and thus completely disassociating themselves with Flipkart. I think the research behind this video was already done before the deal was announced.

[@TheWisherable]

Good movie. Flipkart would've died soon without Walmart taking over as it was directly competing against an industry giant - Amazon

big if true

[@otomackena7610]

SnippingTool fortune.com/2017/03/28/saudi-arabia-aramco-ipo-tax/ then there is state owned chinese comp like fortune.com/2015/07/22/china-global-500-government-owned/ Then there are companies from the past like The dutch East India company that was valued at 7 Trillion "The Dutch East India Company was the first company to go public on the world's first stock exchange. It raised enough capital in 1602 to later create a globe-straddling multinational conglomerate, with over 70,000 employees at its peak. That didn't make it immune to irrational exuberance -- its market capitalization would reach 78 million Dutch guilders at the height of Tulipmania, since at least a few investors must have wanted to buy something more stable than the Beanie Babies of the 17th century. That would place its modern-day valuation in the $7.4 trillion range, making the Dutch East India Company the largest company in history."
