Why do mobile phone operators make vegetables?

――It has been less than 10 months as the president of Okinawa Cellular, how about coming to Okinawa?

Mr. Yuasa After all, I'm fine and it's good.Because it is very economically exciting, mainly in the tourism industry.

――What do you want to do with Okinawa celluler in that?

Mr. Yuasa originally, and the core business, a mobile phone, has been steadily because it has almost half share.In the future, we have to increase this share more and more in various battles such as MVNOs, but it is difficult to continue to grow in the future, so as a result of open call for new businesses in the company, agriculture and vegetable factories.I have an idea of what can help you with sightseeing, and it means that the new business has expanded in various ways.

The Yasai Monogatari has been a vegetable factory for about three years and makes use of that know -how.Vegetable factories can be sold to corporations or local governments, but here are the best things for individual customers to experience the fun of vegetable factories and fresh vegetables.Condensed in the kit).

We are thinking about new businesses in the future, but we will continue to grow with the increase in sales and profits, and we will continue to increase new businesses as we will continue to develop new businesses.I'm doing that.This year, I'm thinking that this kit will play a central role and draw a new business.I'm thinking about the next hand while pulling this, but I can't say that yet (laughs).

――Is it not in the middle of the communication?

湯淺氏通信ど真ん中のサービスではありません。通信をIoT、ICTの部分でサポートしたような形の事業です。我々が通信と全く離れたことをやってもなかなか相乗効果が出ませんので、やはり通信をメインにした形での展開です。昨年、ネット通販の会社を買収したりしてきましたが、基本的にM&Aでただ全体の金額を上げるということは全くやる気はありません。コア事業とシナジーが出て、なおかつちゃんと血肉になるようなところをグループの中に入れていきたいと考えています。

Last year was the 25th anniversary of our founding, and our directors remain in our directors, but we talked about Kazuo Inamori coming to Okinawa and creating a mobile phone company locally. 43 local companies, including banks, electric power, and Orion beer, were made to agree with it. In other words, it started as a local company. Other areas were merged as KDDI, but only Okinawa cellulers did not merge. It's not a good thing here to get bigger as a KDDI, as it has come as a local company. Because it is a local company, everyone can support it. Even if the entire KDDI is less than 30 %, 50 % can be taken here (Okinawa). Because of such a background, it is necessary to contribute to the telecommunications business, but one of the other businesses is whether it is a business that will help you. So I don't make money if I buy and sell land in real estate. If you do not meet the conditions that the locals will be pleased with, you will not do a new business.

Regardless of the vegetable factory or the story of this vegetable factory, Okinawa is a subtropical climate, so it is difficult to make vegetables in alley, so if a typhoon comes, fresh vegetables will not enter for about a week.Being able to eat fresh vegetables at any time is like you will be pleased.There are remote islands such as Daito Island and Yonaguni, but when a typhoon comes, the sea will be rough for a week, so vegetables will disappear from the supermarket store.In order to solve it somehow, we hope that you can raise the vegetable factory on a remote island and manage it remotely.

There is also a business called "Okinawa CLIP" on a tourist site, but Okinawa is also a tourist prefecture, and nearly 10 million tourists visit each year, so it is not known where to go when they come.I wanted to see this site inside.You can promote sightseeing by providing information unique to the local area, not the information listed in regular magazines.While making it, there was a voice saying that the food was delicious and I couldn't get it, so I decided to do it online, so I bought an online shopping business and a tourist site and online shopping.By setting the set, it became one business.What I thought would be useful for the locals was gradually becoming like that.
