SoftBank Group Corp Chairman Masayoshi Son will meet Saudi King Salman on Tuesday in Tokyo, a person briefed on the matter said, as the kingdom and the Japanese tech and investment firm proceed with plans to create a $100 billion technology-investment fund.
The source did not have further details on the meeting between the billionaire entrepreneur investor and the king, who is on a state visit to Japan this week.
The Saudi embassy did not immediately respond to a telephone request for comment.
Saudi Arabia and SoftBank agreed in October to pursue the SoftBank Vision Fund, which would be one of the world's largest private-equity investors and a potential kingpin in the industry.

Softbank = China
Softbank is a Japanese company best known for owning Yahoo Japan and Sprint.
With their background in telecommunications and the internet, why would they want to buy a major semiconductor company? And why, with $89B in debt, is Softbank adding another $31B?
The answer: Softbank is not what they appear. What isn't as well known is that Softbank is actually a major player in China's internet economy.
For starters, they bankrolled Alibaba. They control 32% of Alibaba, and through Alibaba, they dominate the Chinese internet economy because Alibaba has invested in the top internet companies in China: Weibo, for example.
Although based in Japan, Softbank is very much a Chinese company.
The fact remains that, despite the $10B budget, China has yet to land any major companies.
Perhaps Softbank on its own is front-running a bigger China budget.
Or perhaps Softbank was tapped to be the buyer, but not the ultimate buyer. After all, who is lending them to $31B to close the deal? And Softbank will earn a lot of political credits for doing a favor for the
Chinese government effort to ramp-up a semiconductor company.
Don't be surprised if we see an announcement in a year or two that ARMH is up for sale and the buyer is a major Chinese company.
This was a brilliant move.
