Yes, he is great, but not the full reason. He had to go back to Japan to attempt to sell his translator until finally meeting Sharp's Tadashi Sasaki. They then became lifelong friends and Sasaki remained involved in Masa's Softbank founding, especially with the example of providing a loan to Masa including Sasaki's retirement money and house as collateral. Source: s.nikkei.com/2ItMIci
Actually many things he said was just bullshiting for simplicity (invent a translator for 5 mins a day? Please.). Don't get me wrong, I respect him and think he is a hardworking business and technical genius, but please don't take what he said too seriously. (Also I'm Asian, so this is not me being biased or anything 😂)
It is the culture difference for sure. Even Indians are more grounded businessmen. Americans are brought up into self centered show off culture and materialism. Just look around you and travel the world you will see. Americans spend more money on a car than buying a house to park it in.
Keeping your promise. Living in harmony. Long term vision. Spending money with respect. Creating legacy through mentoring. Family. Japanese values at his best with a Korean passion through struggles.
Serge Labelle Read your entire comment, and wanted to respond with this: -Cannot agree with you more!! I simply adore Japan as a country, as a culture and the values for which it stands and of course its virtuous citizens! Japans inhabitants are among if not the most mannered people in the world. Not only that, but they’re aware of this and pride themselves cuz of it, and I absolutely applaud them all for backing it up as well! I’ve visited Tokyo in 2017 for a month, and I’ve gotten some experience in witnessing how people treat each other there in public, and in private!! They are very polite, respectful and they do not accept bribes or tips in restaurants or lounges lol!! Tipping over there is considered an act of pity or dishonor so I’ve heard. I’ve also encountered a Japanese family back home in the states where I’m from, this being NYC baby, and they behave the same exact way here. It’s unbelievable!! It’s totally admirable to witness such devotion to ones character and development. You can clearly see it out in the open when in the presence of a Japanese family or an individual. Just pay attention and know what you’re looking for, and you will definitely see it! Cheers!!!
@@vladimator1842 Denying war crimes is honourable? Stop fetishising Japanese. They are polite but they do not say what they think. Also he's Korean. Koreans make up 0.05 percent of Japanese population and yet he somehow became the richest man of Japan at one point.
@Jay Talents Every country has a blood-washed history. It appears that is only held against a nation when they aren't reliant on successful nations to sustain the bare minimum required for human advancement.
There are many good trait this man had in this interview,but the way he comforts and promise to his mother, that's the most respectful thing a child could make to their parents.
I love this guy. American interviewer gave him several "openings" to kvetch, and he gave short, bottom-line, truthful answers in a neutral voice; positive without being cliché. Gotta respect that.
I really admire him. In his early age, through hardship such as discrimination and poverty, he got to know the secret of success. I can feel his pure love toward the world and humanity.
Investing is considered a bedrock in making generational wealth. Most people don't know when, where or what to invest in. Fortunately, great investors of the past and present can provide us with guidance and ideas. Meaningful contributions are always welcomed.
His 50year life plan is one of the main thing that got him here. I cant believe that he even thought about making such a long plan at 19years old. This is insane. Something to learn from for sure.
One of my business idols - To reach the top and fall twice and still dream big enough to go again. Mayoshi son. SoftBank. Absolute legend. Learnt something new today from the name - Didn’t know it was named after a ‘Software’ bank
"How are you planning to spend all that money?" "Well, I haven't decided yet. Deciding how to spend with respect is more difficult than making money." Wow
Yeah, when are so rich do you really want to spend it all on hookers, drugs and parties? It feels pointless for someone like him who wants to change the world.
McDonald’s ceo in Japan probably never thought this young man in front of him would in the future become the leader of global technology and 100 times more successful than him.
There is more to this story. The two met again in Japan and installed SoftBank computers at McDonald's. And in the end, he became an executive at Softbank.
Managing money is different from accumulating wealth, and the lack of investment education in schools may explain why people struggle to maintain their financial gains. The examples you provided are relevant, and I personally benefited from the market crisis, as I embrace challenging times while others tend to avoid them. Well, at least my advisor does too, jokingly.
Investors should exercise caution with their exposure and exercise caution when considering new investments, particularly during periods of inflation. It is advisable to seek guidance from a professional or trusted advisor in order to navigate this recession and achieve potential high yields.

Through closely monitoring the performance of my portfolio, I have witnessed a remarkable growth of $485k in just the past two quarters. This experience has shed light on why experienced traders are able to generate substantial returns even in lesser-known markets. It is safe to say that this bold decision has been one of the most impactful choices I have made recently.
To those saying he has Chinese ancestor...that is totally not true. The family name Son might have generated from Chinese family, but Korea used to adopt Chinese letters and family names before it had its own.
@@dltmdwnfkdldjs Yeah exactly! I just got annoyed at people claiming he is Chinese or whatever. Why don't people fucking claim Kim Kardashian as asian lol? I mean wtf...
@@dltmdwnfkdldjs I think it is relevant in the sense that the discrimination he experienced as a Korean was the driver behind his success so him being a Korean is important to note.
I already watch David but I skipped this interview cause I didn’t know who he was, then I saw fusions video about SoftBank , funny how we both ended up here after fusion
He proved himself capable of success despite discrimination. When he studied in the United States, he saw people living in the United States living with different identities them selves. and He also overcame obstacles without giving up his identity on his own. and he deserves more respect as he overcame the hardships and tribulations. He grew up being discriminated against by the Japanese, but look at it. He is now Japan's richest man, and the majority of Japanese lives under his influence.
He doesn't tell a truth. Japan didn't force Koreans to change their names. Google " Hong san ik " He was General in the Japanese Army. He continued to use Korean name. Since Koreans felt superior, Koreans chose Japanese name. Actually Lee, Son, Park are Chinese names. Koreans willing to choose Chinese name hoping to feel they were superior.
@@yutanikenji2662 the koreans in korea during the japanese invasion WERE culturally forced to adopt japanese names, cut their hair, only speak japanese, etc. please learn more history before spreading false rumor. forcing to adopt japanese name is called 창씨개명 (soshi kaimei), which was issued in 1939. it was technically pressuring them to adopt japanese name because out of many colonized countries, the rate of japanese name adoption was the lowest in korea (only 48 requests on the very first day soshi kaimei was issued, and less than 8% of koreans during the first three months). so japanese governments changed the laws to give many social disadvantage to those who did not adopt the last names. this gave most koreans no choice but to adopt. so technically, like you said is not physically forcing, but many people still view it as forcing because it left many people no choice
@@asl2149 Koreans always to be bossy. Koreans have Chinese names because Koreans wanted to be superior. Japanese were willing to use Japanese names since Koreans wanted to be bossy in Mancukuo to Chinese. There were some who adhered to Korean names. For example, Yi Un was Korean Crown Prince. He had Korean name. Hong Sa Ik was General in the Japanese Army. Althogh he was Korean from an ordenary Korean family, he adhered to Korean name and was promoted and became General.
Son's parents moved to Japan ilegally. Almost all ancestors of Korean residents in Japan moved to Japan illeagally during the Japanese era since the whole of Korea was a slum when Korea was independent. Korea had been the poorest and dirtiest and the most corrupt nation in Asia. This was Japan which developped Korea. During the Korean War which started in 1950, the South Korean Military massacred residents on Jeju island so many Koreans moved to Japan. They are also ancestors of Korean residents in Japan.
Thanks for changing the scene of the Indian Startups Thanks to you India now has the third-largest startup ecosystem I hope we can get close to China and USA in the coming decade.
2:46 it's 2024 and AI is booming. I think it shouldn't be surprising given his track record, but Masayoshi Son foresaw AI boom 7years ago (when most people weren't thinking about AI, pre-ChatGPT)
I APPRECIATE HOW TRANSPARENT YOU ARE ABOUT YOUR WINS AND LOSSES. IT'S REFRESHING TO SEE A TRADER WHO ISN'T AFRAID TO SHOW THEIR MISTAKES AND LEARN FROM THEM.
As a Korean, I deeply respect him, not only because he become one of the most successful entrepreneurs but also he have proved that Business can unite all the different aspects of cultures and people in North Eastern Asia. Basically he invested in Japan China Korea as a Korean born in Japan. Still there are some discrimination toward Koreans in Japan by radical political groups of people there but back when he was young it was much more harsh. I admire his passion and vision for the new era. I still remember when I first read his book. I was 15 or sth. And I heard that he almost got bankrupt. He nvr give up. He is an amazing inspirer for me.
Why would some people try to spread the fake news about his lineage? He is not Chinese or part Chinese. He had to experienced enough discrimination and efforts to distort his identity. Be respectful and don’t spread the fake news.

Really interesting to see how Masayoshi during different parts of the interview is laughing (cracks a joke and looks at David) but David maintains his stern look. I guess totally different cultural upbringing
I came up with the feeling that he is a very normal, simple person, not very smart, brilliant but one thing I can see clearly in people like him is that: they are inspired, they have passion and their mind are free, no barrier
Agree somehow. But there used to be a strong motivation to become himself today. As he mentioned, He worked harder to getover bias&discriminations. That’s a quite critical point to explain himself If we understand the history Korea&Japan.
WOW..Thank you sir because your interview has opened the future to so many successful superrich investors without any boundaries especially the age .. WOW
At 15:24, “That time I said, now is the time to go next stage, which is internet will become a mobile internet” ….Wow! this man is really a visionary and he predicted the future. Respect to this humble man, Mr. Masayoshi Son!
The most important is to be a respected person, but it is the most difficult than making money. I think he achieved both. I love his unique humor and having future vision from very young age. I just wish that I knew him during my young wandering age..
Japan after the war has over blatant discrimination until 80’s like western country do. But there were not over blatant discrimination since 80’s in Japan.of course we still have a problem about discrimination like western still have .
I respect this great mind.. This kind of people envisage a transcendental journey of ingenuity, creativity and innovation. His life is an paradigmatic exemplary of innovation and invention
I remember watching this video in 2019, i had very little idea of what is all going on here, I started dreaming of building something of my own ever since, things are going up and down but will keep building..

Good points. Do remember that Masa is of Korean descent...so definitely brings a different angle being raised as a foreigner in Japan. He says he did experience some bullying, but that it made him stronger..
He went back to Japan after graduating because he made a promise to his mom; that to me, is as meaningful as his business achievements
totally agreed
No way , his business achievements are 1 million times more noble , hes the got damn ceo of softbank, that's like being the president of the world

I also like the way Jack Ma talking, so I'd like to watch these two have conversation.
your conclusion is interesting
Hollywood need to make a movie about him，he is smart, ambitious, with good vision, he has been through so many ups and downs, he is a legend.
Against all odds with the environment and system against him, he made it. Grats, Son! Keep the bull machine going!
As a Korean, I deeply respect him, not only because he become one of the most successful entrepreneurs but also he have proved that Business can unite all the different aspects of cultures and people in North Eastern Asia. Basically he invested in Japan China Korea as a Korean born in Japan.

'Deciding to spend with respect is more difficult' ... wow hearing that from a Billionaire is really something
We love this guy. Great inspirational interview for future wanna be CEO's. Thank you, CEO Son. Another Korean business entrepreneur genius.
not korean, unique. stop relating to patriotism
@@seaquest8238 He talked about being Korean being a key part of his success himself! Of course it's relevant.
10:20 - 10:45. "I kept my words"
WOW..Thank you sir because your interview has opened the future to so many successful superrich investors without any boundaries especially the age .. WOW
인상적인 인터뷰였고 손정의씨의 생각을 조금이나마 알 수 있어서 유익했습니다.
At 15:24, “That time I said, now is the time to go next stage, which is internet will become a mobile internet” ….Wow! this man is really a visionary and he predicted the future. Respect to this humble man, Mr. Masayoshi Son!
Very impressed with Masa's simple insights!
ARM is not a semi-conductor manufacturer but designer and is based in Cambridge rather than London. How can David Rubenstein not know this!!???
snapdragon 865 the best !
The most important is to be a respected person, but it is the most difficult than making money.
I think he achieved both.
I love his unique humor and having future vision from very young age.
I just wish that I knew him during my young wandering age..
The world isn't built by visionaries, it's built by great marketers & carried by effective salesmen.
Business minded,i like this mind
Growing up as a Korean in post Imperial Japan must have been crazy. Great to see he used it to fuel him.
Japan after the war has over blatant discrimination until 80’s like western country do.
But there were not over blatant discrimination since 80’s in Japan.of course we still have a problem about discrimination like western still have .
Best interview I have watched this year....
45 mins = 45 Bil that's amazing
Very bullish on $Softbank --- This is kind of leader the world needs.

This video encouraged me so much! 孫さんありがとう！
you know the names of the books he mention of Den Fujita
Agreed, I have met Masayoshi a few times and his just a genius! Great personality and a great leader too
@@vapa5761 how did you meet him?
I respect this great mind.. This kind of people envisage a transcendental journey of ingenuity, creativity and innovation. His life is an paradigmatic exemplary of innovation and invention
Very useful interview! Inspiring, meaningful and minimalistic.
I remember watching this video in 2019, i had very little idea of what is all going on here, I started dreaming of building something of my own ever since, things are going up and down but will keep building..
Huge respect for this man
the interviewer is so blunt and dry. thank god the interviewee was a straight up legend.
Hes not a journalist, hes also an investment billionaire.
He is one of the best marketers!
I really respect him and his story.
I simply adore Japan as a country, as a culture and the values for which it stands and of course its virtuous citizens! Japans inhabitants are among if not the most mannered people in the world. Not only that, but they’re aware of this and pride themselves cuz of it, and I absolutely applaud them all for backing it up as well! I’ve visited Tokyo in 2017 for a month, and I’ve gotten some experience in witnessing how people treat each other there in public, and in private!! They are very polite, respectful and they do not accept bribes or tips in restaurants or lounges lol!! Tipping over there is considered an act of pity or dishonor so I’ve heard. I’ve also encountered a Japanese family back home in the states where I’m from, this being NYC baby, and they behave the same exact way here. It’s unbelievable!! It’s totally admirable to witness such devotion to ones character and development. You can clearly see it out in the open when in the presence of a Japanese family or an individual. Just pay attention and know what you’re looking for, and you will definitely see it! Cheers!!!
Good points. Do remember that Masa is of Korean descent...so definitely brings a different angle being raised as a foreigner in Japan. He says he did experience some bullying, but that it made him stronger..
@@alexandergoldmanKorea was under the harsh colonial rule of the japanese empire and Koreans were not treated well at that time
This man is truly inspiring
