"Then why are you coming to Oda Town, Yan-Sang?"
Yukihira Soma touched his chin, wondering why Yan Kai came to Oda Town.
If not for the Mozuya fried chicken nuggets that have become popular in Kanto recently, then what would it be for? There are no fun places near Oda Town. Why did Yan Kai come to this suburb instead of visiting so many places in Tokyo?
"Uh..." Yan Kai didn't know how to answer, mainly because once he said it, there would be a long list of things, and he didn't want to waste his words.
Just when Yan Kai was thinking about how to send Yukihira Souma away, a group of big men in black swarmed into the station shop and separated the crowd. A short-haired beauty in OL uniforms walked in the middle holding a sign and looking towards the tram.
"Welcome Mr. Yan Kai to the Jinhua Avenue Shopping Street"
"Someone's looking for me, see you later."
This group of people was so eye-catching that Yan Kai saw it immediately. He said hello to Xing Ping Soma and walked towards the short-haired beauty. Eve was held by Yan Kai's hand and trotted after them.
"Minezaki Yaeko?"
Yan Kai walked up to the short-haired beauty and asked.
The short-haired beauty was stunned at first, and then quickly recognized Yan Kai's voice, but she still said in disbelief: "Mr. Yan?"
"Yeah." Yan Kai nodded.
The corners of Minezaki Yaeko's eyes twitched.
During the previous phone call, although Minezaki Yaeko heard that Yan Kai's voice was very young, she always thought that Yan Kai should be at least a college student. She never expected that Yan Fei would hand over such a big matter to a person who seemed to be just a college student. Handled by a young man who looks like a high school student.
Although she was complaining in her heart, Minenosaki Yaeko still put on a business-like smile. It doesn't matter if she is a high school student. High school students are easy to fool. As long as she doesn't skimp on her beauty, isn't it easy to trick a high school student who is in puberty?
Thinking of this, Minenosaki Yaeko's smile became even brighter.
"Mr. Yan, have you seen the situation in the store on the station?"
Minezaki Yaeko now knows Yan Kai's actual age. The word "Mr." is not suitable for Yan Kai, but she has no intention of changing the title.
High school students are at a very sensitive age. In fact, they are still little kids but they always feel that they have matured. Since they called Yan Kai "Mr. Yan" before, if they change the title now, it might make Yan Kai feel uncomfortable in meetings. It would be terrible if he was slighted and had a bad impression of Minenosaki Yaeko.
"I see, I also know what you want to say."
Yan Kai doesn't care about such trivial details as how Minezaki Yaeko calls him. As long as he doesn't deliberately call Yan Kai an insulting name, Yan Kai will happily accept it. Minezaki Yaeko's sophistication is actually of no use to Yan Kai. .
"Then have you decided to sell the shopping street to this company?"
Minenosaki Yaeko was excited. If this acquisition can be successful, her position in the company will definitely be further improved. If she can even follow up on the follow-up projects, the commission... it will make her excited just thinking about it!
"Huh? Shopping mall? Yan Sang, what's going on?"
Yukihira Soma, who couldn't stand idle, also followed over and couldn't help but speak out after hearing what Minenosaki Yaeko said.
Minenosaki Yaeko, this woman he had met before, had contacted the merchants in the shopping street a few months ago to ask them to cancel the lease, and she also said that she would compensate them a sum of money.
But at that time, the business of the shopping street was pretty good, and the merchants were not fools. How could they kill the chicken that laid the egg just for an egg? Of course, he firmly opposed it, and Minezaki Yaeko could only leave in embarrassment.
Now she must have seen that the business in the shopping street has become deserted, and this woman has bad intentions again, and she actually made a comeback. The president of the Shop Advancement Association said that since last week, she has started to contact the merchants to collectively cancel the lease. Since business has been difficult to maintain recently, many merchants have already expressed interest.
Damn it, you really haven’t learned to behave at all!
But why did she ask Yan Sang like this? Can Yan Kai still have the final say on whether to sell this shopping street? That's not from his family!
Yukihira Soma, who didn't know the reason, was puzzled.
"Um, is the shopping street you are talking about the Sumireka Avenue Shopping Street?" Yukihira Soma scratched his head.
"Is there a second shopping street in your town?" Yan Kai asked Xing Ping Soma.
"No." Xingping Soma answered truthfully.
How can two shopping streets survive in a place as big as the palm of Oda-machi? Didn’t you see that the addition of one more station store has already made the Sumireka-dori shopping street unsustainable?
"That's the Sumire Avenue Shopping Street." Yan Kai confirmed Xingping Soma's question.
"But, isn't our shopping district a property of the Nishiju Foundation?"
Yukihira Soma said in surprise.
Yes, the entire shopping street did belong to a big shot of the Nishiju Foundation when it was first built. The Yukihira family's regular dining room, Yukihira Restaurant, was also on the commercial street. Soma Yukihira's father tried to buy Yukihira from that big shot several times. Restaurant shops, but they were all rejected by the big shot, saying that all the shops in the shopping street were only for rent and not for sale.
It's just that Yukihira's restaurant was the place where his parents first met. Yukihira Joichiro couldn't give it up no matter what, so he could only pay the thirty-year long-term lease at one time. He owned this restaurant semi-permanently. Now that his father is gone, Yukihira Souma can't let him go no matter what. This shop filled with memories of a family was destroyed!
"It used to be, but it's not now. It's my dad's now." Yan Kai said to Xingping Soma.
"How could this perfectly good shopping street become your father's?" Yukihira Soma said he couldn't understand.
Did you agree to only rent it or not sell it? How come even a big shot in the Nishiju Foundation can lie to people?
Although the Nishiju Foundation is still far away from Japan's top chaebols such as the Suzuki Zaibatsu and the Shinomiya Zaibatsu, it is also at the forefront of Japan's second-tier chaebols. It is especially powerful in the cities and towns surrounding Tokyo's 23 wards, except for Sumireka Avenue. There are many properties owned by the Nishiju Foundation in Oda Town, the shopping street, and the same goes for the town next door and the city next door. Even the current station store where they are located was funded and built by the Nishiju Foundation, which shows the financial power of the Nishiju Foundation.
For such a big chaebol to want to transfer its assets... it seems that there is really no need to notify these tenants.
"When you buy pork, do you need to know the three generations of ancestors of the pork stall owner?"
Yan Kai asked Xing Ping Soma again.
"Uh, no need..." Souma Yukihira also answered honestly again.
"Then you don't need to know why this shopping street became my home." Yan Kai shrugged.
"puff!"
Eve accidentally laughed. She really didn't know that Yan Kai actually had such a funny side.
"Uh, that's right..."
Although I don’t know why the shopping street that the Nishiju Foundation agreed to only rent but not sell ended up in the hands of others, Yan Kai is right. This has nothing to do with Soma Yukihira. His son, a tenant, has no control over the landlord. things.
"Boy, are you done talking nonsense? Please give me a break. I still have something to discuss with Mr. Yan!"
Minenosaki Yaeko looked at Yukihira Souma with hostile eyes. This kid wanted to ruin her good deeds again!
"Mr. Yan, what's your answer?"
When facing Yan Kai, Minezaki Yaeko put on a docile look again. When asking Yan Kai, she bowed slightly, exposing her deep ditch so that Yan Kai could see it by lowering his head slightly.
Bah, obscene!
Yan Kai didn't know if she could see the alluring ditch and fair skin, but from Eve's perspective, she could just see the two useless lumps of fat that Minenosaki Yaeko had deliberately squeezed out, which made her feel unhappy. .
"I think your idea of converting the shopping street into an urban apartment complex is quite good." Yan Kai said to Minezaki Yaeko seriously.
"Yeah, it's true. Nowadays, many people in Oda Town and several surrounding towns have become rich, but they still live in those old and backward houses, and some even live in shops. It's really funny. , once an advanced and fashionable urban apartment complex is built, not only people from Oda Town, but I think people from surrounding towns will also come to buy houses!"
Minezaki Yaeko said happily, she thought her good luck was coming.
Yukihira Souma was so anxious that he scratched his hair. Sure enough, this woman was here to sell her urban apartment again. Everyone is obviously living well now, so why should they buy an apartment?
"So I plan to tear down the shopping street and build my own urban apartment complex." Yan Kai continued.
"ah?"
After hearing Yan Kai's words, Minezaki Yaeko was stunned and asked a question.
"What I mean is, I won't sell it." Yan Kai answered Minezaki Yaeko sonorously and forcefully.
"ah?"
"Ah!"
Minenosaki Yaeko was really shocked now. Why was this person acting so irrationally?
"Yan Sang, what on earth are you talking about!" Xingping Soma was so anxious that he scratched his mouth and cheeks.
"Isn't what I just said clear enough?" Since Yukihira Soma still didn't seem to understand, Yan Kai could only explain again: "The property rights of Sumireka Avenue Shopping Street belong to my father. This Ms. Minezaki said a few days ago I was told that many people in the shopping street want to cancel their leases and asked me if I would be interested in selling the shopping street to their company. I came here today to check out the situation. As of now, the existence of the shopping street is really not that big because of the on-site shops. It makes sense, but I don’t plan to sell it, just tear it down and rebuild it, and it would be nice to turn it into an urban apartment complex.”
"Although the shopping street can't be sold to you, will you take over the project?" Yan Kai asked Minezaki Yaeko, "Even if there are no specific design drawings, there should be conceptual drawings, and a lot of preparations have been made for urban apartments, right? It's better to be familiar with it, are you interested in taking on this project?"
"Taking the project?"
When she heard that there was a business to be done, Minezaki Yaeko immediately withdrew from her lost state, put the smart and capable mode back online, and began to calculate the gains and losses.
Of course, their company also does engineering. Although engineering is not as profitable as developing real estate, buying real estate also carries the risk of losing your hands. At the same time, it will also squeeze a lot of funds. If you are not careful, once the capital chain is broken, I am afraid it will not be the same as today's high bed warmer. Pillow, flyover carton tomorrow.
On the contrary, there is not much risk in doing projects. Although she only earns hard-earned money, the market competition is so fierce now that some people can make good money. It doesn't matter whether it is hard work or not. She didn't move the bricks on the construction site anyway. !
"No problem, I will prepare a plan for you to review within three days!"
After confirming that there was a profit, Minezaki Yaeko showed enthusiasm again.
"Ah! How is this possible!"
Soma Yukihira couldn't help but scream, and pushed it to the shopping street. Didn't he also push his Yukihira restaurant? He hadn't even been able to defeat that bastard dad and win Yukihira restaurant. How could this Yukihira restaurant be demolished? !
"Is there any problem?" Yan Kai asked Xingping Chuangzhendao.
"Of course there is a problem. My restaurant is also in a shopping street!" Soma Yukihira was so anxious that he started to pull his hair again. Fortunately, his hair roots were thick and he didn't pull it out.
"Oh, that's it..." Yan Kai thought for a while, and then said to Xing Ping Chuangzhen, "Well, for Xiao Hui's sake, I can make the decision and leave you a restaurant in the community. Is that okay? "
Then he turned to Minezaki Yaeko and said, "Remember, add a restaurant and make it better!"
"Yeah, yeah, yeah!" Minezaki Yaeko quickly took a note and wrote it down.
"Really, that's great...that's weird! Then my house still has to be demolished? And what about the other stores? What will they do!" Xingping Soma felt relaxed for a while, and then suddenly became anxious again.
He originally came to the station store to inquire about the enemy's situation for other merchants in the shopping street. At first, his mentality was relatively relaxed. After all, other stores were not doing well and could not even earn back the rent. Of course, he was worried, and Yukihira Restaurant had paid thirty years earlier. Yukihira doesn't have to worry about rent at all. Of course he is relaxed. Who knew that the entire shopping street is going to be demolished now? This is no less than a disaster for Soma Yukihira. Even he is worried now. .
Yan Kai looked puzzled and said, "They want to cancel the lease. What's the use of asking me what to do?"
Who is the landlord who still cares about the tenant’s life after the lease is terminated?
"I didn't say I was going to retreat, I just have such a plan for the time being..." Xingping Soma said anxiously.
Isn’t this just about retreating...
Yan Kai was a little worried about Tian Suohui's roommate's IQ.
"Now they want to quit just because the business is not good, but I believe that as long as the business gets better, they will definitely give up the idea of quitting! Yan Sang, please give me some more time!" Xing Ping Chuangzhen assured Yan Kai road.
"Okay, I agreed. Is one week enough?" Yan Kai readily agreed.
"Huh? Are you just agreeing?"
This time, Xing Ping Soma didn't react. He thought he had to beg, beg, beg, beg, beg, and beg again and again, and finally move out of Xiaohui so that Yan Kai could reluctantly agree to his request. After all, Yan Kai was not a good person in his opinion. What an easy person to get along with. Who would have expected that Yan Kai agreed immediately? This is so easy to talk to!
"I'll come back here in a week. If more than two-thirds of the people in the shopping street cancel their leases by then, I will start demolishing the shopping street. Do you agree with this?" Yan Kai asked Xingping Chuangzhendao.
If Yukihira Soma really has a way to revive the business in the shopping street, then he would be happy to see it happen.
Anyway, it's not a loss for him to control him, right?
"No problem!" Xing Ping Soma said energetically.
Yan Kai thinks that the decline of the shopping street is due to the ekinaka station, which is more convenient for shopping, but Yukihei Soma feels that the popularity of the ekishop is entirely due to Mozuya's fried chicken. It has brought a huge customer base to the station shop. Many people even take several tram stops to come here to buy their fried chicken nuggets. And those people follow the rule of "everyone comes here" and will definitely buy again. Bring back some other things. This is the main reason why the store on the site is prosperous.
Therefore, as long as you can cook better food than Mozuya, you can surely win over all the customers at the station store!
This is exactly what he made with the owner of Mozuya just now, saying that he would make a dish that is better than Mozuya fried chicken to attract customers from the station shop and bring the shopping street back to life. He is a cook, As long as things come to the realm of cooking, he is not afraid of any challenge!
