TOKYO -- As he unveiled his company's worst-ever annual financial results on Monday, SoftBank Group CEO Masayoshi Son painted a vivid picture of the "great crisis" engulfing the sprawling tech investor.
"If I were to describe it," Son told his unseen online audience, "unicorns that had been climbing uphill hard are suddenly faced with a coronavirus valley -- and the unicorns are falling into that valley." In case anyone missed the point, a slide depicting tumbling unicorns appeared behind Son's head.
