Cao Zhiqiang didn't wait too long. The real estate agent led an elderly man in a suit with some gray hair to come to him respectfully.
The elderly man in a suit with some gray hair, named Isao Nishimura, is the branch manager of this housing agency, and he is also the person who can decide the sale of this building.
To put it simply, he is the one who has the final say.
The next thing was not complicated, that is, the Nishimura store manager first confirmed that Cao Zhiqiang really wanted to buy the entire building, and immediately made a decision, saying that for only 2.2 billion yen, the transaction could be made directly.
As for those who have already booked other houses, that is not a problem.
Think about it, if you sell them one by one, how can you make money by selling them one by one?
So even if there is some trouble, it's not a problem.
After all, strictly speaking, because this is a newly opened building, and the price is still very expensive, there are not many other owners in this building, so you can just find any excuse to get rid of it.
On the other hand, it is not common for wealthy people like Cao Zhiqiang to buy a building at every turn and pay cash in one go, so he must be treated well.
Because of this, they offered a fixed price of 2.2 billion yen, which is very conscientious.
You know, even if not all the houses in this building are worth over 100 million, the difference is actually not big.
If it were completely based on the market price, it would still be 2.3 billion yen.
If someone gives you 100 million at once, the price is nothing if you don’t have a conscience.
But this also shows the person's sincerity and good intentions.
Cao Zhiqiang had no intention of discounting, after all, his original intention was to earn rebates.
The meaning of rebate is that the more he spends, the more he earns. Therefore, spending 100 million less means making 10 million less, which he will definitely not be happy with.
However, in front of Nakamori Akina and Koizumi Kyoko, he couldn't seem too different, so he quickly agreed, just 2.2 billion yen.
However, Cao Zhiqiang put forward an additional condition, that is, he felt that one building was not enough, and he wanted to buy all the newly opened properties.
This condition makes the Nishimura store manager a little embarrassed.
Because many of the previous properties were almost sold out, and some people even paid for them. There are a lot of these owners, and it would be difficult to deal with all of them if they were coaxed away.
Unlike the building that Cao Zhiqiang is interested in, it has just been delivered and has not been on the market for a long time, so not many people know about it.
Secondly, this is a one-story, one-unit ultra-luxury apartment. Because the value is too high, not many people can afford it, so not many people have ordered it.
In other words, the reason why this building was successfully sold to Cao Zhiqiang was because of the special nature of this building and the fact that there were not many buyers for the time being.
But what about other properties? Because most of them are ordinary public apartments, which are quite popular. In addition, the sales time is long enough and there are many buyers, so it is not easy to solve the check-out problem.
However, there is no way out.
For example, Isao Nishimura first explained the difficulties sincerely, and then told Cao Zhiqiang that if he was really interested in this place, he could buy all the pre-sale buildings under construction.
The intermediary company where Isao Nishimura is currently selling this property has two projects under construction.
One of the projects is a small high-rise luxury apartment, and the other project is a luxury villa.
The apartment, or rather this building, that Cao Zhiqiang bought is a model project in the small high-rise luxury apartment project, and it is precisely because of this that it can be put on sale now.
But in fact, there are still eight buildings under construction for this small high-rise project.
If Cao Zhiqiang is interested, he can take over all eight buildings under construction.
If you can pay in full, the price is definitely negotiable.
In addition, there is also a luxury villa project, which mainly includes various ultra-luxury single-family villas and townhouses.
Villa project, a total of 24 buildings.
Among them, there are 12 single-family villas and 12 townhouses.
There are 36 households in total.
If Cao Zhiqiang is also interested, he can also buy it all, and the price can be easily negotiated, and it will definitely be much cheaper than the market price.
Cao Zhiqiang understood immediately when he heard it. Isn't this the so-called pre-sale house?
In fact, Japan’s real estate already has a pre-sale housing system at this time.
In other words, many houses have not been completed or even started. They can start pre-sale with only the drawings.
It's just that this kind of pre-sale system is not yet mainstream in Japan. It is only circulated in a small area and is mainly practiced by small real estate companies. Large companies generally do not engage in this stuff.
After all, Japanese people have relatively conservative consumption concepts. Even if they can accept loans to buy houses, Japanese banks generally do not grant loans for pre-sale houses due to uncertain risks and high financial pressure.
Yes, the reason why the house pre-sale system was not fully popular in Japan at this time was not because the Neon people themselves were conservative, but because the banks here were conservative.
Most Japanese people buy houses with loans, so if banks don’t lend, they naturally can’t buy cheap pre-sale houses.
Therefore, although there are pre-sale houses during this period, most of them are fully paid or have a high down payment, such as 50% down payment.
This situation naturally limits the overheating of Japanese real estate.
The era when Japan's pre-sale housing system began to flourish was after the appreciation of the yen.
At that time, Japan's major banks began to relax controls, especially pre-sale housing loans, so major construction companies began to build buildings crazily and pre-sales crazily, while people began to borrow crazily and snap up purchases, and finally in a short period of time Just heat up the houses in Japan, especially Tokyo.
Everyone knows what happened later. With the burst of the financial bubble in 1991, real estate collapsed, and the Japanese economy began a long period of economic stagnation or even regression.
Anyway, before Cao Zhiqiang traveled over, Japan's GDP had fallen to the fourth place in the world, behind Germany, and was about to be surpassed by Asan and become the fifth largest country in the world.
As for the manufacturing industry, it is even worse. For example, famous brand companies, such as Toshiba and Sony, have also gone bankrupt. Even if there are still some old companies struggling to support themselves, they are all fading away and their glory is gone.
Of course, this cannot all be attributed to real estate, nor can it be solely blamed on the pre-sale housing system.
But there is no doubt that the decline of real estate is a symbol of Japan's economic decline, and the pre-sale housing system is undoubtedly one of the driving forces.
Of course, there is nothing wrong with the pre-sale housing system itself. On the contrary, it is a good way to stimulate the housing market and the economy.
However, when the market is out of control and goes too crazy, the pre-sale housing system can be a real poison.
Do you think Japan doesn’t know?
I definitely know.
Otherwise, why don’t Japan’s major banks now allow pre-sale housing loans?
Don’t you just know that the risks involved are too great?
In addition, Japan's GDP growth was quite terrifying throughout the 1970s, maintaining double-digit growth for a long time.
But even under such a terrifying growth situation, people have not liberalized pre-sale housing loans. This shows that Japan's financial elite knows the pros and cons of real estate.
It's a pity that a colony is a colony, and it doesn't matter what you say.
When the American father started to take serious action, Japan could only bow its head and say yes.
It's all nonsense that Japan can say no.
How can a country that needs domestic resources but not resources, needs energy but not energy, has a small land area, cannot be self-sufficient in agriculture, and has a father above its head? How can it be really tough and have the final say?
To put it bluntly, the biggest problem with neon people is that they tend to float easily.
In fact, the reason why Japan's economy is so good is entirely due to economic globalization and the original confrontation between East and West.
If the United States hadn't allowed Japan to occupy a pit for its own global hegemony, and the hollowing out of domestic industries in the United States had given Japan many opportunities, Japan would have had a rough development.
Even now, in the manufacturing field, the first echelon is still the United States and Europe, and Japan can only be considered the second echelon at best.
It's just that Japan's products are cheap, and they can brag about them. Coupled with the dividends of the times, people in many places in Asia think that Japan is so awesome and powerful.
In fact, Japan is a country that is very boastful and very good at cost-effectiveness.
As early as the 1970s, Japanese manufacturing began to engage in large-scale fraud, and many data were completely false.
The same goes for agriculture. While our own households are using chemical fertilizers and pesticides crazily, they are also promoting the natural and pollution-free nature of Japanese agricultural products everywhere, which has deceived a group of foreigners who don't know the truth. Even many Chinese people have been deceived.
But in fact, a country like Japan, which has a small territory, insufficient arable land, and insufficient energy resources, and relies 90% on imports, cannot become a truly great country.
Without him, his background is too poor and his congenital conditions are too poor.
Especially in modern society, more emphasis is placed on heritage.
If you want to become a big country, you don't just look at your per capita GDP, but you look at your total GDP and your overall national strength.
Only when the territory is large enough, has sufficient strategic depth, and the country has abundant human resources, self-sufficient energy and mineral resources, and of course can be self-sufficient in food, can it initially assume the status of a great power.
Looking around the world, the only three countries that can meet these conditions are China, the United States and Russia, and other countries do not meet these conditions.
Take Japan for example. Even though they are living a good life now, they are based on economic globalization.
Once economic globalization disappears and various countries begin to close themselves off or start war mode, Japan's import and export channels will be cut off, or most of them will be cut off, and it will be restored to its original shape in an instant.
Precisely because they understand this very well, Japan attaches great importance to the development of nuclear energy and hydrogen energy when developing future energy. This is because nuclear energy and hydrogen energy are most suitable for the situation of lack of energy minerals.
It's a pity that the idea is very good, but the reality is very skinny.
No matter how good your idea is, if your father controls it and your father doesn't agree, it's all just a castle in the air.
For example, Japan's semiconductor industry actually started its layout very early, and by the 1980s, it has become very powerful. It can be said that it accounts for half of the semiconductor industry.
However, as soon as the United States took action, Japan's semiconductor industry, which seemed to be prosperous and accounted for most of the world's share, immediately fell apart and transferred most of the industry directly. Even things like lithography machines were transferred to the Netherlands.
The same goes for other electric vehicle technologies.
In fact, electric vehicle technology was first developed by the Japanese.
For example, one of the most critical technologies for electric vehicles, the RuFeB permanent magnet, was first invented by the Japanese Masato Sagawa.
In 1982, Masato Sagawa invented the sintered NdFeB permanent magnet with the highest performance in the world.
This kind of low-cost, simple and ultra-high performance sintered permanent magnet is also called a rare earth magnet.
It is the emergence of this kind of thing that lays the foundation for the development of large-scale electric vehicles.
Therefore, the development of this thing caused a sensation at first.
The other most critical area of electric vehicle technology, rechargeable battery technology, was first invented by the Japanese.
For example, the original version of rechargeable lithium battery, lithium cobalt oxide battery, was first invented by Mr. Akira Yoshino in 1983.
This lithium cobalt oxide battery itself is a fairly good lithium battery technology, and the cost is not high, but the capacity is not very good and the reliability is also poor.
Later, Akira Yoshino continued research and development and developed more reliable lithium batteries. In the end, he won the Nobel Prize for lithium battery technology and was called the father of lithium batteries.
In addition, Japan also had very good research and development at this time, such as electronic control technology.
It can be said that as early as the 1980s, Japan had almost overcome the technical problems of electric vehicles.
But what was the result?
The result is that various technologies of electric vehicles were easily taken away by the United States, and then various unconventional means were used to suppress Japanese electric vehicle technology.
The reason is also very simple. The United States now controls oil and does not want to start a new energy revolution so early, especially if Japan cannot start it first.
In the end, the dispute between the United States and Japan over electric vehicle technology gave China the opportunity to become the leader in the field of electric vehicles, keeping pace with the United States.
Therefore, the reason why Japan later bet on hydrogen energy is not that they do not know the advantages of electric vehicle technology, but that this area has been cheated by the United States.
It was precisely because of being deceived and afraid of being deceived that when Japan later developed hydrogen energy, it kept all kinds of secrecy secret and registered all the patents that could be registered, making it difficult for the United States to start.
However, even if you have advanced technology and complete patents, it is useless. You are a small country with few people and no market.
When Japan had almost developed hydrogen energy technology, the world had entered the 21st century, and at that time, the world's major consumer markets were basically dominated by China and the United States.
Then, China and the United States see that you have many patents on hydrogen energy. Okay, we can change the track and join forces to play in electric vehicles instead of hydrogen energy. We have made it clear that we will not give Japan a chance to market and wait for the patents to expire.
Without the Chinese and American markets, Japan’s hydrogen energy technology will be useless no matter how awesome it is.
No matter how good the technology is, it is useless without a market.
There are many other similar situations, most of which were caused by Japan taking the lead in leveraging technology, but ended up declining because there was no market.
To put it bluntly, this is the tragedy of a small country and the tragedy of not having sovereignty.
It's a pity that not many people in the world can see through this, especially in the 1980s when Japan's economy was still very strong.
In 1983, Japan's economy was the second largest in the world, and cutting-edge industries such as automobiles, shipbuilding, and semiconductors were also in a leading position.
Therefore, many people believe that in the next twenty years, Japan will truly rise peacefully and become a great power on par with the United States.
This is of course a foolish dream.
In other words, it is difficult to say whether the term "peaceful rise" was first proposed by Japan, but it was indeed proposed domestically.
It's a pity that peaceful rise is a joke when the strength is insufficient.
Because the prerequisite for peaceful rise is that you must be strong enough.
Only when you are strong enough and so strong that the other party does not dare to touch you can you say you can rise peacefully.
If you are a weakling, and someone can crush you to death with just a single move, how can you talk about a peaceful rise? Do you really think that the American army is a living wager?
If you can take action, who will reason with you?
Just like now, the United States has begun to be hostile to Japan in various ways, and various trade wars are in full swing.
Sanctions on automobiles, home appliances, agricultural products, etc. have all started.
However, these restrictions and sanctions have not yet reached fever pitch and are in the testing stage, so major Japanese companies are still full of illusions about the United States.
Precisely because they are still full of illusions about the West, Japanese companies are not enthusiastic about entering the inland at this time.
It was only after comprehensive sanctions began that major Japanese companies and various financial investments began to enter our country and seek new ways out.
But if we have to wait until this day, it will be after 1985.
At this time in Japan, there is no doubt that it is the best time to invest in real estate.
If nothing else, it was because Japan’s financial policy was too conservative at this time and the land supply was very sufficient. As a result, the supply of real estate in Japan exceeded demand, and the price was naturally very low.
How low is it?
Even in Tokyo, as long as it's not in a particularly good location, housing prices are even lower than those in Xiangjiang.
Yes, the housing prices in Tokyo at this time are not as good as those in Xiangjiang, which is outrageous.
If nothing else, let’s just say that the luxury apartment where Cao Zhiqiang currently lives is located in Kita Aoyama, Minato City, and is currently a key development area of the Tokyo government.
If this kind of place were placed in China, there would be a term that everyone has heard of - development zone.
That's right, the current Minato City is the development zone of Tokyo.
By the 1990s, Minato City would be considered a prime location, and in the future it would even surpass the traditional wealthy areas - Shibuya and Setagaya.
And Beishan District is a prime location in the prime location of the port area, and every inch of land is very valuable.
If you put this kind of place two thousand years in the future, you wouldn't be able to buy it, let alone 100 million or 3 billion.
Thirty times the value added, how many investment projects can be higher than this?
Anyway, the money in the love fund in the system is idle, so it is better to take advantage of this opportunity to cash it out directly.
By the way, this pre-sale package system allows you to negotiate directly with the real estate company, so the privacy can be maximized.
Is there a better investment than this under the current circumstances? (End of chapter)
