1986, Create a Miss Tokyo Ichiban

Chapter 22 House in Tokyo

(Let me correct an error first. The average monthly salary in the island country in the 80s was 40 to [-] yen. The previous economic errors have been corrected, so Zhang Yu’s family already has some money.)
Bai Xiang has been a little uneasy recently.

Because her husband yesterday signed an agreement with Shueisha's editor-in-chief Kono to publish a single volume of episodes 1-10 of "Detective Conbei".

In the 80s, when the economy was prosperous and entertainment was abundant, comics were not yet the spiritual food that the island country could not live without. Therefore, the royalties for single books by new comic book authors were generally very low, only between 5% and 8%.

However, due to the strong response from Nobumasa Haru's two comics, and the fact that they were rare double releases, editor-in-chief Kono granted an additional 10% royalty on behalf of Shueisha.

The number of copies published for the first time is 380, and a single copy sells for [-] yen.

If everything is sold out, Nobumasa Haru's pre-tax income will be 380 million yen.

The single-page manuscript fee for Nobumasa Haru's two comics has also risen to 6000 yen.

In other words, Nobumasa Haru's income next month will probably reach more than 500 million yen.

This made Bai Xiang, who had a sense of superiority because of the booming business of the milk tea shop, feel nervous.

She followed her daughter's advice and increased her investment in milk tea packaging. Now, after deducting labor, raw materials, fixed depreciation, taxes, rent, milk tea packaging, etc., the net profit of a cup of milk tea is around 280 yen.

Because the taste of milk tea is so incredible, there is no problem in selling [-] cups of milk tea every day.

But Bai Xiang's monthly income has dropped from the temporary first place, with an income of just over 300 million yuan, to the second place in the whole family.

"My husband has a single volume of "Yu Yu Hakusho" to be released next month, what should I do?"

Looking at the stack of yen she found in front of her, Bai Xiang was a little anxious.

How to do?
This guy has started to blatantly save his own money!
We agreed that we would save money together to buy a bigger house.

After hearing Baixiang's mother's complaint, Kotone didn't feel much.

With a monthly income of more than 800 million yen, they are already considered an elite family in the island country.

However, she still decided to support Bai Xiang's mother's actions.

Because buying a house is a big deal.

Since the island nation’s government was forced to sign the Plaza Accord throughout the year, housing prices in the island nation of Tokyo have begun to skyrocket.

The increase in the past half year has been as high as 75%, and by the end of this year the total increase will be as high as 120%.

And this is just the beginning!
Now, a property worth around 2000 million yen (approximately 120 square meters) in urban Tokyo will be worth 89 million yen before the bubble bursts in 2.5.

Therefore, if their family does not want to be abandoned by the times, they must move to Tokyo, and buying a house in Tokyo has become something that must be completed within this year.

The last time I went to Tokyo, Qionin and her father took a fancy to a small villa with an area of ​​more than 200 square meters in Bunkyo District.

The current selling price is 800 million yen. According to the 30% down payment amount, they need to pay a one-time payment of 600 million yen.

And because of her instigation, most of the family's working capital was invested in Microsoft and Microsoft stocks.

It seems that the only option is to take out the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl in exchange for the down payment, otherwise the house price may rise in a few days.

It is not that there are no rich people in the countryside, such as the monks in the mountains.

Zen Master Takano is a monk with short hair. He is holding the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl and looking intently at it.

The temples on this hilltop are the property of his Takano family, and it can be said that he is the richest person in the neighborhood.

The Zen master's wife was entertaining guests, talking to Bai Xiang and Qin Yin, and sipping tea.

(Many monks in island countries marry wives and have children.)
The head of the family, Zhang Yuxinzheng, was bargaining with the Zen master.

"It is indeed the Yaobian Tianmu Tea Bowl!"

Zen Master Takano couldn't put it down. He knew that there were only three pieces of this thing in the world. One was in the hands of the Mitsubishi Zaibatsu, and the other was kept in the Daitokuji Ryukoin Temple. No one saw it at all. The last one was collected by no one.

And the one in his hand is obviously the fourth one!

"Does Master Gaoye intend to collect it?" Zen Master Gaoye didn't look like a monk. He licked his tongue and asked Zhang Yu Nobumasa.

"Are you really willing to sell it to me? Then set a price!"

Zhang Yuxinzheng glanced at his wife and daughter calmly, thinking of the reminder from his little clever guy.

"Master, let's make an offer, but you only have one chance to make an offer. After all, there is really no need to worry about not having a buyer for this thing."

Zen Master Gao Ye glared at Zhang Yu's father.

What a crafty guy!

Zen Master Gaoye thought for a long time, looked at his wife again, and finally gritted his teeth.

"Twenty-six million, I'll write a check right away! How about that?"

"make a deal!"

Qinyin pursed her lips, but her father agreed too quickly.

The temple only needs to display the Yaobian Tianmu tea bowl as a temple treasure. Not to mention the national treasure support fund given by the government, even the income from the exhibition can quickly recover the money, and it will be a pure profit from now on.

Moreover, the reputation of the temple has been established by relying on the Yaobao Tenmoku Tea Bowl. This is a good thing that cannot be exchanged for hundreds of millions of yen.

However, the small villa in Bunkyo District, Tokyo was still taken over by the Zhang family.

Since their trip to Tokyo, Zhang Yu and his wife's horizons seem to have been opened a lot.

Under Qin Yin's guidance intentionally or unintentionally, a loan officer from Quanye Bank came to Shimono's home.

"I'm loan consultant Maeda Koji! I heard that Zhang Yusang bought a new villa. I wonder if I need a loan? There are investment opportunities everywhere now!"

Home loans are one of the banks’ favorite mortgage methods, with low risk and strong value preservation.

That's why Maeda Koji found this family and wanted to complete his mission this month through preferential interest rates and loan conditions.

In the strange year of [-], the current loan policy of the island country is very reckless.

Banks issue the same amount of loans with half the capital required for real estate mortgage loans.

In other words, although the down payment for the villa in Bunkyo District is 600 million yen, if it is mortgaged to another bank, it can be loaned up to 200 million yen.

Of course, the down payment property risk requires a "handling fee" of 200 million to be paid to the manager and salesperson of another bank.

Zhang Yuxinzheng and Bai Xiang felt that this was too dangerous, but Qinyin mentioned that the income from the milk tea shop and his father's comic books could fully support the installment and loan interest of the two villas.

"Don't you want to open a milk tea shop in Tokyo?"

Bai Xiang was moved by these words.

She also wanted the aloof Tokyoites to prostrate themselves in front of her milk tea and obediently form a long line of people in front of her store. She could only endure the sun and listen to her clerk's happy apology.

As a result, a 260-square-meter shop in Wenjing District was taken down.

The couple drew up the design plan for several days, but the last one didn't pay attention, but Qinyin used it as a toy, scribbling here and there.

However, the couple didn't have time to get angry because they discovered that their child's "scrabble" style seemed pretty good.

Then decorate it in this style.

The couple seemed very cautious about when to move.

Because the milk tea shop is one of the two main pillars of income for the family, it cannot be stopped until the Tokyo store is opened.

According to Bai Xiang's idea, in the future, people from the Shimono store will be asked to go to Tokyo to pick up a few days' worth of processed tea in advance. She is planning to open a chain store.
