National Tide 1980

Even after being called back, the real estate agent smiled again and became respectful to Ning Weimin and Kagawa Rinko again.

Kagawa Rinko didn't feel relaxed at all.

Because the shock and consternation continued.

It can be said that throughout the entire process of the two parties reconnecting, she has been in disbelief, trying her best to digest the fact that Ning Weimin gave up renting and turned to buying property.

First of all, by listening on the sidelines, she discovered that Ning Weimin really didn't seem to be joking.

This guy not only inquired carefully about the legal procedures and related restrictions for foreigners purchasing real estate, but also listened carefully to the market conditions related to real estate and the rights of owners.

They even took the initiative to inquire about the difference and relationship between land rights and housing rights in Japan.

Of course, this guy is more interested in the trends and increases in housing prices in various districts of Tokyo in recent years.

Even after learning that the average price of real estate in Tokyo has risen by 40% in the past year, and that foreigners cannot purchase real estate through bank loans, there is no sign of hesitation or shrinkage.

Instead, two business needs for real estate were raised at once.

Whether it's commercial real estate to open a restaurant or residential housing for employees to live in, he wants them all.

There is no doubt that people who lack the sincerity and funds to buy a house will not react in this way.

Secondly, Kagawa Rinko never expected that Ning Weimin's demand for the real estate agent's description was quite bizarre.

This guy doesn't care at all about the standard and quality of the property he buys.

To put it bluntly, in terms of housing, it can be single-family buildings, apartments, or commercial housing.

Commercial real estate, whether it is an office building or a shop, is also acceptable.

The conditions for his persistence only lie in three points.

One is the location of these properties.

It is best to be located in Chiyoda, Chuo-ku, or Minato-ku, and the closer to the subway station, the better.

Even if you choose the next best place, it must be in Shinjuku, Shibuya and Bunkyo wards.

The second is to require that these real estate properties have no tenants, and that after the house is purchased, it can be used independently.

The third is to specifically point out that if the property involves land rights, the land rights and house rights must be unified and all can be traded.

He doesn't want it, like leasing other people's land and building houses on it, or group housing on public land.

All in all, he seems to care about something very different from ordinary people when it comes to purchasing property.

Because some care too much about geographical location and property ownership, but ignore the actual use issues, it seems a bit irrational.

You know, first of all, there is a big difference in land prices in the 23 wards of Tokyo.

The port area is roughly divided by cutting lines from east to west, north to south.

The east and south are more expensive, the west and north are cheaper, the ones closer to the port area are more expensive, and the ones farther away are cheaper.

This is because according to urban tradition, there are more wealthy people in the east and south, and more common people in the west and north.

The three core wealthy areas proposed by Ning Weimin are undoubtedly the best plots and have the highest price.

Shinjuku, Shibuya, and Bunkyo have become new urban cores due to urban reconstruction and the evacuation of people in core areas.

Although not long ago, the Tokyo Metropolitan Government announced that it would move from the old location to the Nishi-Shinjuku sub-city center, which directly led to the skyrocketing land prices in Shinjuku District. …

But after all, there is still a gap between these three areas and the old core area.

Geographically, it is a little more westward, and its background is also lacking, so the price difference still exists, at least about 10%.

As for the more remote areas such as Meguro District and Koto District, the price difference compared with the core three districts can reach 25% or 30%.

As far as the fringes of Tokyo, such as Adachi Ward, it is the cheapest.

The gap with the six core wards of Tokyo has more than doubled.

In short, if you look at the current highest price per square meter in Ginza, which is about 2.1 million yen, it would be a worse area to choose.

You can really save a lot on land prices.

So Kagawa Rinko felt in her heart that Ning Weimin's obsession was really ridiculous.

Didn't he think that places like Meguro Ward or Koto Ward would also be possible?

The most famous French restaurant in Tokyo, Joel Robu, is located in the castle in Ebisu Park, Mita, Meguro District, Tokyo.

The minimum consumption per person there starts at 50,000 yen, and there are many people who spend millions of yen in this restaurant a night.

I have never seen this store suffer from poor business or customers being dissatisfied due to regional issues.

To be honest, when buying a house like this, he never seemed to consider how much extra cost he would have to pay for his stubbornness.

In fact, even if you move it slightly, you can save at least 200,000 or 300,000 yen per square meter.

Maybe you can save money on house renovation costs and furniture and appliances.

Doesn't he know that there are many old and dilapidated wooden houses built after the war in the three core areas of Tokyo?

The reason why the Tokyo Capital Renovation Plan was launched this year is to expand the urban area, reduce population density, and renovate these dilapidated buildings to increase Tokyo's disaster response capabilities.

This is to prevent this megacity of nearly nine million people from experiencing an urban paralysis similar to the New York blackout on July 13, 1977.

If the real estate that meets his conditions is a wooden house built after the war, does this guy also want to buy it?

If you just buy it, you will have to pay a lot more for renovation and reconstruction.

There is a big difference between here and outside.

So in line with the principle of being serious and responsible, and not wanting to watch Ning Weimin make such an insane decision, Kagawa Rinko finally couldn't help but speak out and give advice.

But just as she was about to say, "Hey..." and tried to interrupt, she suddenly heard the real estate agent asking Ning Weimin about the area requirements for buying a property.

Ning Weimin looked unmoved and replied calmly.

"Of course I hope that the area of ​​​​the land or house will be as large as possible. For me, the area of ​​the real estate is actually far more important than the quality of the house. The reason is very simple. If the house is not good and the facilities are not good, it can be renovated and decorated. Even if I own the land rights, I can demolish it and rebuild it. But if the space is small and there is no way to rebuild it, it will be very embarrassing. Let me give you a rough budget, and you can pay 600 million yen. Come and help me find a target based on the total price. In terms of time, I also hope it can be as fast as possible, okay?"

Okay, 600 million yen!

If you convert it, it would be 2.5 million US dollars!

Even in an absolute center like Ginza, you can buy a building with 300 square meters of land! …

Convert that to one thousand square meters!

With just this sentence, Ning Weimin's image immediately shone brightly in the eyes of the real estate agency.

As the old saying goes, money can really make the world go round!

The real estate agent, a descendant of this little Japs, immediately complied.

Like a filial son and grandson, he bowed deeply to Ning Weimin with an unprecedented low profile and solemnly assured him with a sincerity that made him want to weld his head to the table.

"Hi Yi! We will do our best to live up to the trust of our distinguished guests! Please rest assured and wait for our good news!"

On the contrary, in the eyes of Kagawa Rinko, Ning Weimin has become a so-called taken advantage of and an upstart.

She took a breath and couldn't believe Ning Weimin's loud tone.

It turns out that poverty limits one's imagination. In fact, the problem he was worried about was not a problem for Ning Weimin. He had already planned to renovate his house.

Is this public money?

Does this guy just not regard Huaxia Company’s money as money?

For those who don’t know, I thought you were from the European headquarters, not the Chinese branch.

But just when Kagawa Rinko was secretly slandering her, Ning Weimin noticed that she was trying to express her opinion just now, and at this time he actually turned around and asked her.

"Miss Kagawa, do you have any other suggestions? You might as well speak up."

The real estate agent also turned his head and looked at Kagawa Rinko eagerly.

This undoubtedly made Rinko Kagawa feel extremely embarrassed, and sweat broke out on her forehead.

For no other reason than because what she wanted to say just now was obviously inappropriate, she had to swallow it all.

But if she didn't say a few words, it would be rude at this time, as if she was making trouble over nothing.

So I could only desperately think of the right wording.

"That...that...Vice Minister, I heard that Huaxia Company's annual revenue is about ten million U.S. dollars. Do you really want to purchase real estate with a budget of 600 million yen? If this money is spent like this, Huaxia Does the company really have no objections? Is it better to seek the opinions of Huaxia? And after buying the house, there will probably be a lot of follow-up investment. Some expenses may not be imagined yet. Yes. I hope you will seriously consider my opinion..."

After much deliberation, Kagawa Rinko and Ning Weimin ended up playing opposite each other.

What she said is absolutely contrary to Japanese speaking habits.

You know, the Japanese workplace has always relied on "air reading" as a basic survival skill.

What does that mean?

The general definition is to be aware of the unexpressed meanings and emotions of others in the conversation, and to follow the situation to say appropriate words and act appropriately.

In fact, the Japanese's ability to "read the air" is somewhat similar to what people in the capital call "eyesight".

To put it bluntly, it means observing words and deeds and acting according to the opportunity.

It is this kind of culture that encourages Japanese people to follow the herd mentality, making Japanese people more cautious about their words and deeds, entering an unbreakable cycle, leading to an increasing sense of depression in life.

The reason why Kagawa Rinko commits such workplace taboos is inseparable from her integrity and kind nature.

She was really worried that Ning Weimin was spending money so lavishly without seriously considering the capital allocation decision, and there would definitely be a big problem. …

At the same time, I also suspected that Ning Weimin might want to take the Huaxia Company's money for himself and came to Tokyo to immigrate as a local owner.

Then she must speak up first to avoid getting herself involved in such trouble.

Of course, maybe there was a little bit of emotion, and he couldn't bear to see Ning Weimin being so arrogant and complacent in front of him.

However, after Kagawa Rinko said these words bravely, without even having time to arouse the real estate agent's doubts, Ning Weimin remained calm and gave a more positive reply.

"Don't worry, it's okay. Miss Kagawa may have misunderstood. In fact, the 600 million yen has nothing to do with Huaxia Company. It is all my personal property. I will not use public funds. So even if it is for restaurant decoration or reconstruction, it will be There are enough funds. Besides, the restaurant I want to open represents three Beijing companies, not Huaxia Company alone to bear the risk."

This sentence is even more terrible, and it directly makes Ning Weimin become the father in the eyes of the real estate agent.

In this day and age, anyone who can take advantage of 600 million yen is considered a rich person in Tokyo society!

You know, the average college student only earns hundreds of thousands a month.

If you want to buy a property of more than ten square meters in an ordinary area of ​​Tokyo, you will have to go without food or drink for five or six years.

As a result, the real estate agent increasingly regarded Ning Weimin as a piece of cake, and vowed to do Ning Weimin's business with firm belief.

I couldn't help but praise him, "As expected of the deputy minister of a multinational company, he actually owns such a wealth of assets. Your guest should be a well-known big shot in China. And he can entrust me with the property purchase, which is also great." It is a great honor for me. Please rest assured that I will do my best to meet all the needs of our distinguished guests."

Followed by another deep bow, a flattering gesture similar to kowtow.

"Um... I've already checked the lunch time. I wonder if your guest would be willing to allow our company to serve as a host? How about we have a casual meal together? Please tell us what your guest likes to eat! There is a restaurant near our company It’s a good Japanese restaurant, as well as Chinese cuisine. If you want to eat Western food, it’s no problem. Not far from here is the Italian Embassy, ​​and the Italian restaurant there is very delicious. Please tell me..."

This is just to win over customers and treat them for free.

Ning Weimin was not at all polite about this opportunity to take advantage.

He lit another cigarette, waited until he took a puff of smoke, and then said carelessly.

"I can eat anything. I should ask Ms. Kagawa what she means..."

"Hey Yi——"

The real estate agent turned around again and looked at himself with a flattering and suspicious look.

Then carefully ask about your dining preferences.

Kagawa Rinko was not happy at all, but was so depressed that she almost spat out blood.

This is not just because the real estate agent seems to have misunderstood the close relationship between her and Ning Weimin.

The expression on the other party's face was clearly saying, "No wonder you don't have to read the air and speak so boldly. You are climbing a high tree."

At the same time, there was also an inexplicable sense of frustration mixed in with it.

She never expected that Ning Weimin would be a rich man with assets far beyond her imagination.

It’s so sour!

If this guy wasn't bragging, he, a Chinese, was much richer than she, a native Japanese.

What is a developed country? What is the Third World?

It's a complete joke here.

What was especially confusing was that Rinko Kagawa suddenly discovered that Ning Weimin actually flicked the cigarette ashes into the sink of the water dispenser this time and winked at her.

This time, she was really furious!

Damn it! This big bad guy who looks down on people!

Is he actually making fun of me?

Detain the building to death!
