How he picks investments

What about your other investments, especially on the Internet?
As you know, we became the largest shareholder of Yahoo and many other Internet start-up companies. We already have become the leading shareholder of more than 30 companies on the Internet. We are going to have investments in about 50 companies by the end of this year.

We always look for the number-one company in the Internet market. The Internet has broad services and products and technologies. In each of those areas, we are investing in the number-one company.

How big will Softbank get?
Last year we were at $1.7 billion, $1.6 billion. We're going to $3 billion this year. Next year we will be close to $6 billion. So we are growing very, very quickly and we hope to continue this growth.
