Chapter 311 Selling
Chapter 311 Selling
While the Seibu Group continued to borrow for expansion, Watanabe & Co., after going public, was selling off properties in remote areas to collect funds. The news announced to the public was that in order to reduce the burden, some properties were sold, and part of them was used to repay debts. , and the rest will be used to upgrade express hotels in central cities.
Somewhere in Shikoku, Watanabe Co., Ltd.
"Madam, this one-family house is in a very good location, and house prices and land prices across the country are rising now. Please consider it carefully." The intermediary staff is recommending it hard. Now the headquarters has issued a task to sell this place of properties are emptied and then they will be transferred to metro areas.
The wife also knew that people around her were discussing the house price. Her neighbor had already bought a house, and the house prices were talked about in the circle of wives like them every day, which made her very troubled.
"I need to discuss this with my husband."
"It's okay, madam, but the price may change next time, please forgive me." The agent reminded me thoughtfully.
The lady opposite frowned slightly, a little displeased, but she also knew that it was not the other party's problem, and that was indeed the case now.
The agent bowed and sent the lady away to receive the next customer.
A few days later, the lady called.
"Madam, the house you want is already taken by someone, but there is a larger house with a bigger yard next to it, which may be more suitable for you." The agent told the bad news in a regretful tone.
After hearing this, the lady felt a little disappointed, and then said, "Then I'll go and have a look tomorrow."
That night, the wife said to her husband: "Anata (dear), the house I looked at a few days ago has been sold, but there is a bigger one. If we don't buy it now, You won’t be able to buy it anymore, and the price has gone up a lot now.”
"Are you telling the truth? Isn't the apartment we live in now very good? The price is too high and it will collapse sooner or later."
"The newspaper said that Japan is an island country with many mountains and volcanoes. Excluding the cultivated land area, the residential area is very small, and it will increase in the future."
Under the strong request of the wife, the head of the family had no choice but to agree to take a look. If he wanted to buy this one-family house with a yard, all his savings would be wiped out. This is really a sad thing.
Under the guidance of the agent, they came to the larger one-family house and inspected it. This time, the couple came together. The room was large, there was a garden, and there was a garage. It was very well designed. Well, it combines the advantages of Asia and Europe and the United States. This gentleman also likes this design.
He calculated his wallet and found that he could barely afford to pay for it in full, so he agreed to buy this one-family house.
This kind of thing happens in many places, and it is very different from the operation in mainland China in later generations. Many property clubs also have the situation of holding back the property and reluctant to sell, and it is very serious. There are many tricks before buying, such as earnest money and so on.
Selling properties while repaying debts not only avoids high income taxes, but also a large number of strange taxes. On the other hand, with the crazy rise of the Nikkei Index, real estate is also like a raging fire cooking oil.
Behind the madness is the lack of real economy. Many people no longer run businesses and change careers to real estate.
Recently, Watanabe & Co., Ltd. is acquiring some companies. In Japan, many small businesses have good patented technologies, but due to the impact of real estate, they cannot continue to operate. They were unable to buy land at the beginning, but the current rent has made them profitable. Swallowed by real estate.
Some insightful people in Japan stood up and strongly opposed this model of real estate stimulating the economy. They believed that the "Plaza Accord" was a mistake. However, their speeches were drowned out by more public opinions. Some people said: Sell Tokyo. You can buy América.
The self-confidence of the people of the island country who are stationed in the army has been unprecedentedly expanded. The people of this country have a strange way of thinking. They are stubborn and persistent. To put it bluntly, they are collective paranoia. It is very scary. Look for it. Things, even if they are wrong, must go down the same path. This may be the origin of the spirit of craftsmanship, right?
Li Bu took Jennifer shopping on the streets of Tokyo with him. He saw the happy smiles on the faces of the people of the island country. The office workers, the women used all kinds of luxury goods, and the men also wore high-end suits. In some high-end hotels, The red wine they drank was also French Latour. It was a winery acquired around the original Latour. It was marked with the Latour logo, but it was also sold for 20 yen a bottle. In [-], the original winery Latour became even more popular. It sold for [-] yen a bottle.
Li Bu was in the hotel and almost laughed out loud when he saw such a price tag. He asked for a bottle of 20 yen.
Jennifer was a little puzzled. She knew that at the current exchange rate of Japanese yen to US dollars, this bottle of Latour from the old winery would cost nearly US$[-] per bottle.
"Bruno, this bottle of Latour [-] costs two thousand dollars."
"Jen, I said that Chateau Latour is mine, do you believe it?" Li Bu said with a smile.
"Even if it's yours, you can't order a bottle of red wine worth two thousand dollars. It's too wasteful." The rebellious girl didn't know much about Li Bu's wealth. She just knew that he was a rich writer of best-selling novels. Writer, knows nothing else.
Their position was close to the window. Li Bu pointed to the luxury store opposite and said, "Have you seen those famous luxury stores in Europe?" Jennifer nodded, indicating that she had seen it.
Li Bu continued: "I am the agent in Asia, so when I see the hot sales in those luxury stores, can I be unhappy?"
Before Jennifer could react, Li Bu continued: "Next year at the latest, I will take you to my winery in France to show you what an ancient winery is."
After hearing Li Bu's words, although she was still a little skeptical, she was eager to try it and wanted to know what kind of life experience she would have in such a winery.
In Ginza, after having a lunch worth nearly [-] US dollars, the two of them went to other places to see how Tokyo was in the bubble era and how the people of the island country were living and enjoying life. For the upper class of this country, whether it happened or not, Their lives will not change during the economic crisis, but for these ordinary people, no matter how happy they are now, they will be miserable in the future.
Li Bu looked at these people, crazily performing a feast of wealth. Compared with his previous life, he found that the people of these island countries were really happy. When the mainland's economy was growing at its fastest, he, as a worker, had never enjoyed this kind of experience. Life.
Since I haven’t enjoyed it myself, it’s not too much to earn some pension money from you, right?
