SoftBank's Masa Son still trusts his gut and isn't done splashing billions on 'crazy' entrepreneurs cnn.com

Hong Kong (CNN Business) Just a few weeks ago Masayoshi Son was smarting from having to bail out one of his big investments.
Now he's reminding his critics of another time he threw billions of dollars at a "crazy" entrepreneur that turned out very differently.
Among all the entrepreneurs he met during a visit to China in 2000, Ma was the only one who didn't ask for money and who didn't have a business plan, Son recalled.
But he had a "fighter's spirit" and was passionate and about how the internet was going to change China.
"Jack was the only one with the eyes sparkling and [he] caught my heart," said Son.
