SoftBank Group held its 46th Ordinary General Meeting of Shareholders on June 24th. At that time, Masayoshi Son, Representative Director, Chairman and President, used a slide presentation using a goose and a golden egg to express how SoftBank’s true value had not been properly evaluated. This has become a hot topic overseas, and has become a meme with people saying, “I thought it was a lie, but it turned out to be true.”
What is the golden egg and goose slide?
Among the slide materials for SoftBank’s annual general meeting of shareholders, a series of slides showing the relationship between the goose and the golden egg has received a lot of attention overseas.
Regarding SoftBank’s valuation, which was 3 trillion yen in 2010 and will reach 74 trillion yen in 2026, Son said, “Eggs don’t lay eggs,” and said that behind every golden egg there is always a goose, emphasizing the importance of the existence of geese.
Mr. Son compared the value of 1 trillion yen to one golden egg, and presented a slide showing how three golden eggs have increased to 74 in 16 years. Furthermore, he expressed his bullish view that over the next 16 years, the number of golden eggs will increase to 1,000, or the value will increase to 1,000 trillion yen.
Share widely as proof that the English version link is genuine
At first glance, SoftBank’s Goose and Golden Egg presentation materials may make you doubt whether they are real or not, but links to the PDF materials hosted on SoftBank’s website are being widely shared overseas to prove their authenticity. People who clicked on the link were surprised and said, “I had no idea it was real.”
In particular, the slide where the inside of the goose is a golden egg making machine and the slide when the goose lays 1,000 golden eggs seem to be attracting the most attention.

SoftBank emphasizes that ASI will be a source of value
SoftBank points out that the group will become an ASI (Artificial Super Intelligence) platformer, or social infrastructure, as evidence that the company will become like a golden egg production factory.
According to SoftBank, by using ASI, each person will be able to do the work of 1,000 people at the same time, and a new image of the worker known as the “super white collar” will emerge.
