What is the story of Yoshiaki Tsutsumi?

He created business opportunities where there were no business opportunities; Where there is no wealth, there is wealth to be tapped. Miraculously turned the former desert into a cornucopia. From a concubine to the richest man in the world, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's life is full of legends. I bought a lot of Japanese land in 20 years, with a huge wealth of $654.38+06.5 billion, far exceeding that of Bill Gates, 654.38+00 times that of Panasonic, 654.38+03 times that of Uehara Akira and 4 times that of Rockefeller. Because of his consistent and steady management style, he became the only Asian tycoon unaffected by the financial crisis sweeping Southeast Asia, and was called "the millionaire among the rich and the leader among the leaders". 1987, in the list of the world's richest people listed by Forbes, an authoritative American magazine, a Japanese beat other countries in the world with a personal asset of 30 billion dollars and became the richest man in the world that year. 1In April, 965, the same person took over the leadership of Seibu Group from his father. At that time, Seibu Group was only a medium-sized group enterprise. Under the leadership of his steady pursuit of first-class management, Seibu Group has gradually developed into a well-known giant enterprise group with more than a dozen hotels, a dozen tourist areas and several railway lines in Japan, and has developed large areas of real estate in major tourist areas around the world, with assets as high as 30 billion US dollars (data 1987) and employees as high as 654.38+10,000. Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's unique management style stems from the mysterious oriental philosophy. He was familiar with China's ancient classics and admired Xunzi. He firmly believes that "human nature is evil", but he is very kind to others. He graduated from Waseda University in Japan, but thought the diploma was just a piece of waste paper and refused to use smart people. When promoting subordinates, he must first meet his wife and children; For 30 years, his staff has been voluntarily insisting on a wake for his father every night; After following his father's wishes 10 years, he immediately surprised the Japanese business community and was named the richest man in the world by Forbes magazine twice. His strange words and deeds are even more talked about by people. The Japanese tycoon named Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was born in 1935. The only difference between Yoshiaki Tsutsumi and many self-made entrepreneurs is that he owns an ancestral family business. Father Di Jiro is an entrepreneur of Seibu Enterprise Group. De Kojiro fought in Japanese business and politics with great ambition, which laid the foundation of Seibu Group for Yoshiaki Tsutsumi. 1On April 26th, 965, 75-year-old Di Jiro died of illness. According to the will, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, who was less than 30 years old, became Dijia's parents and became the highest authority of Seibu Enterprise Group. At that time, Seibu Enterprise Group was a medium-sized entity with assets of about 800 billion yen. Seibu enterprises have laid a certain foundation in four industries, such as department stores, chemicals, railways and tourism services. According to the arrangement in the will, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was promoted to President and President of Seibu Land Planning Company. Tsutsumi Seiji, Kojima Yasujiro and Morita Shigeru are presidents of department stores, railway companies and chemical companies respectively. Seibu Group implements the president and general manager responsibility system under the leadership of the president and chairman. Coupled with the shortest time for Yoshiaki Tsutsumi to arrive at the company, the nominal head of Seibu Group has no actual control over the chemical company, department store and railway company. Clear-headed Yoshiaki Tsutsumi knows the current situation. He believes that the current situation in Seibu is stable, and mastering power is the key. It's not time for the mall to attack on all sides. Therefore, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi does not show mountains and water, and follows the business style of my late father, Xiao Nian, which is a slow but steady development step by step. Soon, he was praised and trusted by people inside and outside the group. However, the half-brother Tsutsumi Seiji is not like this. Contrary to Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's calm and patient personality, Tsutsumi Seiji is rebellious and eager to expand. When his father was alive, he felt constrained everywhere. After his father died, the arrogant Qing Er thought it was time to show his great ambition in life. He immediately devoted himself to expanding the business in the field of department store circulation and expanded rapidly. Out of respect for his father, responsibility for the ancestral family business, and unwillingness to be too rude to his brother, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi decided to transfer all the shares of Saiwu Department Store and Saiwu Chemical Society to Tsutsumi Seiji, "to make you an independent company and get rid of all relations with Saiwu Enterprise Group" 197 1 On April 26th, at the anniversary of the 6th anniversary of Kojiro, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi publicly announced that Saiwu Group and. From then on, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi became the absolute leader of the Seibu Group and completely mastered the control of the Seibu Group. Now, the foreign invasion faced by Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, the new president, is the difficult problem of the depression of Saiwu Hotel. In the early 1960s, Japan won the right to host the Tokyo Olympic Games with 1964, which brought great business opportunities to Japan's tourism and service industries. Kojiro seized the opportunity to enter the hotel industry. The first hotel of Seibu Group, Prince Tokyo Hotel, was officially opened in the year when the Olympic Games was held, which was a great success and yielded a lot of benefits. However, with the end of the Olympic Games, hotel profits plummeted and finally developed to the point of loss. In such a difficult time, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi stepped forward. 1972, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi Expressway Prince Hotel officially opened, which is the second prince hotel of Seibu Group. The investment is not large, and it is rebuilt and expanded on the original basis. However, the revenue of this hotel is not good. Despite this, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi still didn't give up the hotel industry.1In February, 978, Shinjuku Prince Hotel was put into operation again. Because Seibu wants to rebuild Shinjuku Railway Station, this hotel is built next to the railway station. I didn't expect the Prince Hotel in Shinjuku to be extremely prosperous as soon as it opened, and its profits grew extremely fast. After summing up the experience and lessons, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi clearly realized that successful hotel management must have one of the following three advantages: first, the price advantage; Second, the advantages of architectural features; Third, the advantage of geographical location. After summing up these advantages, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi decided to give up the first one and pursue the second and third advantages. After Yoshiaki Tsutsumi made the decision, the hotels of Seibu Group opened one after another: 1979, Prince Shinagawa Hotel opened; 1981April, Prince Sunshine Hotel opened; In April, 1982, the new Prince Hotel opened; 1984 March, Prince Akasaka Hotel opened ... His name shocked the world. In the early 1980s, Seibu Group built and operated more than 50 Prince Hotels in Japan, Canada, Singapore, the United States and other countries-its construction scale and speed were amazing. In order to highlight the advantages of the hotel in architectural features, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi spared no expense. Yoshiaki Tsutsumi spent $200 million to build the new Grand Prince Hotel, which even the hotel designers thought was too expensive. However, when the hotel was completed, it immediately caused a sensation in the world with its perfect appearance and idyllic artistic conception. The most distinctive "Tian Fei" banquet hall of the New Grand Prince Hotel covers an area of 6,000 square meters and is 23 meters high, which can accommodate 1 1,000 people at the same time. The wall of the banquet hall is inlaid with 300,000 shells, which are white and red, and the hall is decorated like a fine work of art. The "Tian Fei" banquet hall has become the first choice in Japan. At the opening ceremony of the Prince Hotel, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi proudly said to people from all walks of life from all over the world, "This is a work of art shared by the world." The construction of the new Ferris wheel Prince Hotel is considered to be the symbol of Seibu hotel industry and even Japanese hotel industry. The hotel business of Seibu Group is booming. According to the statistical data of 1985, the total hotel turnover of Seibu Group has reached120 billion yen. Seibu Group is thriving under the leadership of its new president, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi. Economy and politics have always been closely related. While joining the economy, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi will certainly pay attention to the political changes and trends-1970, he learned from political dignitaries that the Japanese government would promulgate a land law in order to prohibit land profiteering. Seeing that the era of land speculation is about to pass, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi deeply feels that his time is different from his father's background. What should Seibu do? After thinking for a long time, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi thought it was time to add new ideas to Seibu and open up new investment markets. And all the assumptions that are inconsistent with the company's consistently stable business style are irrational and undesirable. He decided to quit the real estate industry and turn to the service industry focusing on leisure and sightseeing. When embarking on specific leisure and sightseeing investment projects, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi found it difficult to attract many people to an isolated entertainment project. A place can attract more tourists only if it has beautiful scenery, convenient transportation, high-grade hotels and many entertainment projects. Buying a large piece of land, making large-scale and multi-project comprehensive investment on it, making this place the most attractive and attractive tourist destination, and developing the whole region-this huge and innovative idea was formed in Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's mind. Yoshiaki Tsutsumi conducted a regional development experiment in Shinagawa area near Tokyo. Seibu Group built Prince Shinagawa Hotel next to Shinagawa Station, but the benefits were not very good. In Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, skating rinks, swimming pools, tennis courts, bowling alleys and other places of leisure and entertainment have been built around the hotel. When the hotel is combined with these places, it is flying. Sure enough, after doing this, not only those entertainment places have made a lot of profits, but even the Prince Hotel Shinagawa has won the top spot among many competitors and achieved remarkable results. Akio Morita, the president of Sony Corporation, who is popular all over the world, must stay in Prince Shinagawa Hotel after going abroad for business talks, adjust his body through entertainment and fitness activities here, and then return to the office. After the cautious experiment was a great success, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi began to make a decisive attack. He adapted to local conditions and vigorously developed Miaochang, Hokkaido, Furano, Karuizawa and other areas. For a time, Seibu Group set off a magnificent wave of regional development. Although Zong Ze is a suburb of Tokyo, it is a deserted agricultural town in Tokyo. When Seibu bought a large area of land in Soze, most business people didn't understand. Someone said, "How could a prudent man like Yoshiaki Tsutsumi do such a reckless thing?" Many people predict that "this large piece of land in Seibu will become' death'." However, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi has a good idea. He first built Saiwu Garden, international cultural and educational village, golf club, baseball field and artificial skiing center in hilly areas. Zong Ze is very close to Tokyo, so with these places of entertainment and leisure, many tourists come from Tokyo every week. As a result, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi immediately entered the second step of development. He rebuilt the city's expressway, built railway stations and bus stations, and built restaurants, supermarkets, libraries, theaters and schools with a wave of his hand. Soze City has suddenly developed from a backward agricultural town to a medium-sized city with a population of 300,000 and a new city. Regional development has become the main development direction and the main source of income for the group. Kōnosuke Matsushita, known as the Japanese "God of Management", spoke highly of Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's regional development ideas. He said that Yoshiaki Tsutsumi "not only inherited his father's career, but also added new ideas", created the brilliant achievements of Seibu Group and was the "father of ZTE". Seibu Group of Japan is a giant that controls Japanese hotels, railways, department stores, amusement and other service industries. Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, the current president, is a very attractive and influential figure in Japanese business, financial and public circles. Based on his father's teaching, he gradually formed a set of unique but suitable employment ideas and methods, which are not very easy to use and are generally considered extremely clever. Smart people don't need to be in Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's thoughts for three reasons: First, smart people often make the mistake of looking down on people around them. Yoshiaki Tsutsumi believes that letting arrogant people serve as top leaders will cause employees' anxiety, thus weakening employees' confidence, reducing overall efficiency, and ultimately forming resistance that affects the company's development. Although smart people surpass ordinary people in intelligence, they rarely maintain a humble and reflective attitude for a long time. Second, smart people have stronger desires than ordinary people. So it often becomes a source of trouble in the group. Yoshiaki Tsutsumi believes that smart people have a strong desire, while honor, status and interests will often corrode a person's heart, which will often cause contradictions and undermine the unity in the group. Thirdly, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi thinks that the desires and ambitions of smart people are 10 times or even 100 times that of ordinary people. Once in power, they are likely to be selfish beyond their own conscience and start to find ways for their desire for power, not only to suppress other people's work, but also to abuse power for personal gain. Therefore, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi thinks those middle-level talents are easy to satisfy. They attach importance to the positions given by the company, will work hard and are easy to make achievements.
