讀《FT·金融時報》學英語：Masayoshi Son/軟銀集團孫正義

Masayoshi Son, the risk-addicted billionaire who built Japan's SoftBank into a global internet powerhouse, is a man who moves fast to seize whatever he has set his eyes on.
孫正義一旦看中什么目標，就會迅速出擊。這位愛冒險的億萬富翁把他在日本一手創(chuàng)辦的軟銀(SoftBank)打造成了世界互聯(lián)網巨頭。

Less than a month after Britain voted to leave the EU, Mr Son clinched a deal to acquire UK chip designer Arm Holdings for £24.3bn.It was the largest Asian takeover of a British company.But the audacious deal was not enough to satisfy the 59-year-old known as Masa, who enjoys his reputation for having big and crazy ideas.
英國舉行公投決定退出歐盟不到1個月，孫正義就敲定了一項協(xié)議，同意以243億英鎊收購英國芯片設計公司安謀國際(Arm Holdings)，成為亞洲企業(yè)對英國公司最大規(guī)模的收購案。但這筆大膽的交易還滿足不了這位59歲、人稱“Masa”的企業(yè)家。他喜歡人們說他總是有瘋狂的奇思妙想。

After the summer had passed, Mr Son was off to Riyadh to meet Prince Mohammed bin Salman, Saudi Arabia's powerful deputy crown prince, to launch a $100bn technology fund.Armed with fresh funding power, Mr Son was next spotted in New York, forging ties with President-elect Donald Trump with a $50bn pledge to invest in US start-ups.
夏天剛過，孫正義動身前往利雅德，與沙特副王儲、掌握實權的穆罕默德·本·薩勒曼王子會面，目的是發(fā)起設立一只1000億美元的科技基金。攜著新的資金實力，孫正義又現(xiàn)身紐約，與美國當選總統(tǒng)唐納德·特朗普建立了關系，承諾向美國初創(chuàng)企業(yè)投資500億美元。
