The clear and cold sky is dark gray, and the pale sunlight barely shines through the mist-like air.
It only looks blue and gloomy, but it doesn't make people feel warm.
This bad weather not only indicates that it is likely to rain today, but also makes Ning Weimin feel depressed when he walks out of the high-end apartment.
Yes, after understanding the safety of your stock assets and the relevant information about the real estate market.
Ning Weimin found a Matsuya chain store at noon and had a hasty meal of beef rice. In the afternoon, he rushed to the Daito Trading Company in Akasaka Apartment, hoping to appease his panicked employees.
Unexpectedly, the situation he saw with his own eyes was far worse than he imagined.
So much so that not only did he fail to appease the emotions of others, but he himself was frightened.
After all, he had never experienced it personally. When Ning Weimin heard his employees complain on the phone from across the country, he thought it was just because they were honest people who had never seen much of the world.
What he understood as harassment by violent groups was, at best, killing cats and dogs, or threatening people at the door, or like in Hong Kong and Taiwan movies, where they splashed paint on the door and wrote those scary and harsh words.
But when he actually arrived, he was dumbfounded, because Japan's violent organizations are now at their peak, and the guys responsible for the demolition, because of their stakes, are almost lawless and almost above board.
They had already kicked out the security guards at the entrance of the apartment building, and even the property was smashed to pieces by them, and it was in a state of shutdown.
So the postman stopped coming. Not only was there no one to remove the garbage in the building, but there was also feces and urine all over the corridors, and the stench was overwhelming.
Almost every night there are "drunks" and "tramps" coming to cause trouble.
Moreover, when Ning Weimin entered the company, he heard that the glass windows of Da Dao Trading Company had even been shot through twice by bullets from outside, and the door had been poured with gasoline and burned three times.
Sometimes, in broad daylight, there are naked men wandering around in the corridors like ghosts.
Whenever outsiders enter the building, these naked guys wearing only a coat will show their perverted looks, scaring people half to death.
For this reason, none of the company's female employees are able to go to work. Now Da Dao Trading Co., Ltd. relies on three or four male employees who are physically disabled and strong-willed to persevere.
These few people are inevitably subject to frequent insults and intimidation.
Fortunately none of them were actually injured.
Moreover, the real office location has been moved to the warehouse rented by the nearby Daito Trading Company, thus maintaining the regular supply of Daito Trading Company to Yamato Tourism.
As for the situation of the entire apartment building, more than half of it is now empty.
Forty percent of the owners gave in and sold their houses in the past four months.
Less than half of the remaining people are still living in apartment buildings for the time being.
These owners decided to defend their rights with legal weapons and collectively sued the architectural firm that wanted to acquire the building and the real estate club behind it.
Among the representatives of the local residents, the leader is Haruko Maru, one of the "NHK Three Girls" who was very popular in Japan in the second half of the 1950s.
However, this lawsuit was also very troublesome because there was no direct evidence to prove that the harasser had an employment-affiliated relationship with the architecture firm.
Just like when the police come, the harassers run away, and when the police leave, the harassers come back again.
I'm afraid that this lawsuit will probably be another war of attrition that is time-consuming and labor-intensive, with indescribable effects.
In short, after personally understanding and seeing with his own eyes, Ning Weimin's only hope of seeing the direction of the wind disappeared after returning.
He knows that money makes people crazy, and since even Japan's higher-status social classes are forced to do so, he cannot compete with the demolition team of this violent gang.
However, Ning Weimin was quite touched by these Japanese employees who still insisted on guarding the company for him, and secretly felt lucky that he had hired the right people.
Perhaps it is because as a vulnerable group in society, we are too afraid of losing this valuable job.
These disabled and strong-willed employees of his can be called model workers. They are obviously scared to death, but they have persisted in fear until now.
So Ning Weimin called the phone number left by the architectural office, revealed his identity, and expressed his intention to negotiate the sale of the house in the near future.
On the spot, he also offered to give these employees of the company a salary increase as a reward.
After all, housing prices have been rising and time is money. The persistence of these people has very practical significance.
For sale now, the market price is much higher than some time ago, which is a favorable condition for negotiation.
Then, in order to ensure everyone's safety, Ning Weimin asked these employees to pack their things and go home from get off work early.
Tell a few people that you won't have to go to work starting tomorrow. Let's take a few days off and have a good rest. We will wait until the new office location is confirmed before going to work.
At this time, the emotions of these Japanese employees finally stabilized, and they happily felt that the nightmare of this period was over.
However, after walking out of the apartment building, Ning Weimin could not feel relaxed at all, because the brief conversation with the architectural firm just now made him feel the arrogance and pride of the other party's successful conspiracy.
As the old saying goes, rushing is not a business, and the other party is not a good person with a soft heart.
As you can imagine, it was not easy for him to get a good price for this deal just by bowing to him.
So after thinking about it, he gave up his original plan to go to Nishi-Azabu Eibundo Bookstore, and instead decided to contact Axia for help immediately, so he might as well arrange the matter in one go.
Fortunately, I had Axia's business card in my wallet, and you can find public phones almost every five hundred meters on the streets of Tokyo.
He quickly realized the conversation.
"Hey, is this Chixia Nightclub? Is Mama Sang here?"
"I am Axia, who are you...?"
"Ah, Axia, you are indeed in the store. This is great. I am Ning Weimin."
"Ah, Mr. Ning, you are finally willing to go back to Tokyo. I am very happy to hear your voice. However, you are in such a hurry to find me, what's the matter?"
"Yeah, I have something to ask you. I told you last time about the Akasaka apartment. Do you still remember it? Are you busy now? Can you give me some time, thirty minutes?
Just fine..."
"No problem, come and talk. Don't say thirty minutes, it doesn't matter how long it is. It's been a long time, let's have a drink."
"Thank you, then I'm welcome."
However, even though Ning Weimin's phone call went smoothly, and Axia also expressed a warm welcome, when Ning Weimin came to Chixia Nightclub in Ginza 7-chome with full expectations, he found that God seemed to be playing tricks again.
Give him a hand.
The problem he needed to face turned out to be far different from what he expected, and was far more complicated than he imagined.
If not for anything else, it was because A-Xia was in similar troubles just like him, and was in an unsafe situation.
And just as he desperately needed Axia's help for the apartment in Akasaka, Axia also needed help from him in order to keep the store in Ginza.
This is great now, let alone whether Axia can help him is a question.
Even if Axia is willing to help and has enough ability to help him, he has to think carefully about the price and risks involved.
What's going on?
To put it simply, what happened was because the land prices in Ginza had soared. Therefore, as a foreigner who was living under someone else's roof, the nightclub bought by Axia also attracted the attention of others.
You know, even when Ning Weimin came to Ginza, the large-screen display at the street intersection was still scrolling the latest news report about Ginza land prices from NHK TV station.
"Now I am in Ginza, Chuo-ku, Tokyo. The price of land in this area per square meter five years ago was only about 3 million yen, but now the transaction price is - 38 million! This trend
It is very obvious in the center of Tokyo. Land prices have increased by 70% this year. The data is so abnormal that it is surprising..."
The reporter who was interviewing on the spot took out a cardboard with the amount marked on it as a prop, hoping to express the huge difference between the two sets of figures more concretely.
Therefore, the two cardboards marked with different numbers and depicting different amounts of money can often attract the attention of all kinds of passers-by.
Who wouldn’t be frightened!
Taken together, that's an increase of more than ten times, much faster than Ning Weimin's Akasaka apartment.
It is already far beyond ordinary people’s imagination, let alone the King of Earth!
It’s no wonder that Ginza is the first choice for a fertile place, attracting some voracious predators.
"...Do you remember what I told you? When I bought this store, I didn't use my own money to pay off the store because I still needed to set aside reserves for operation and purchase luxurious equipment and utensils.
Instead, I borrowed 300 million yen from Toyo Sogo Bank. But every month after that, I paid the interest on time. However, just as my business was picking up, the bank suddenly informed me that it would terminate the credit relationship and let me pay the interest on time.
I paid back the money. Of course, this caught me off guard and I couldn't understand it. Later, I went to the bank to negotiate about this matter. I thought it was because they were not satisfied with the active interest rate I signed, and they would be unhappy when the Bank of Japan lowered the interest rate.
.So I expressed my willingness to re-sign a fixed-rate contract with them. But their attitude was still very tough. I am not stupid, of course I realized that there was another reason..."
I don't know if it was because of her profession, but even though Axia said angrily, she didn't forget to take care of Ning Weimin.
I took the wine and poured him a glass of Hennessy XO.
As for herself, she only had a glass of ordinary Suntory whiskey for company.
However, Ning Weimin is more willing to believe that Axia's use of such expensive wine to suit his liking should represent some kind of expectation.
"Well, it doesn't matter. Please go on..." He said, holding the brandy glass in both hands.
"Later, I sent people to investigate, including my own people and Japanese detective agencies. Frankly speaking, the detectives I hired were very efficient. They investigated in more detail and faster than our own people. They soon found out
Some things were investigated for me. The reason why the bank wanted to terminate my loan was actually because of a Japanese named Genshiro Kawamoto..."
"Kawamoto Genshiro? How old is this man?"
"About fifty-one, he is now in the prime of life. This man is not an ordinary person. He is the largest individual shareholder of Toyo Sogo Bank Chuo District, serves as a director of the board of directors, and has huge assets under his name. He is the boss of several companies.
In addition to owning shares in Toyo Sogo Bank, he also owns a housing agency, a publishing house, and a land construction company. But he is most famous for his food city. In Tokyo, you can see the circular signs of the Genji Group everywhere.
They are all properties under his name. He owns too many real estate properties, and most of them are concentrated in the Ginza area. I heard that there are eight buildings in the entire building alone. To put it bluntly, this person seems to be unusually persistent in buying houses.
He especially likes to buy real estate in Ginza. This time, his target is the building where our nightclub is located. In fact, so far, he has bought several nightclubs in this building. They are all being renovated now.
…”
While listening to Axia's story, Ning Weimin recalled that several streets in Ginza did have the word "source" in red neon lights in a circle, which even became a symbol of Ginza night.
I couldn't help but shudder and nodded.
I thought to myself, it seems that Axia is really unlucky, this time she was really targeted by a giant.
However, this was not over yet. Axia continued to say, "But what's even worse for me is that his Genji Group also has many relatives of high-level judicial officials. I heard that Genshiro has set up a special department called
The president’s special assistant has dedicated offices at the headquarters of the Genji Group and on the fourth floor of Toyo Sogo Bank. The people who work in this department are all relatives of people in the legal field. To put it bluntly, such a company is like me
People with such a background are the natural nemesis.”
"What? Is he using this method to corrupt and win over people in the judiciary and deliberately cultivate his own power?"
Ning Weimin's expectation was indeed good, and Axia responded affirmatively.
"Yes. Even two retired police officers from Tokyo and several retired prosecutors themselves also work for the Genji Group. They should have been hired by him after retirement. Therefore, not only has there never been a professional member of the Genji Group's board of directors,
Even when shareholders come to cause trouble, they have never encountered green vote blackmail. Even business dispute lawsuits are almost always victorious and almost guaranteed. Even media reporters are afraid of this. As long as there are these majestic former prosecutors and high-ranking police officials,
Tabloid reporters don’t dare to make mistakes casually. In short, this person is too powerful and smart. It is difficult for people to get caught using this method to communicate and convey interests to the Japanese judicial circles. After all, after retiring from public office,
It’s no good, no one is a saint, who doesn’t want to think more about himself and live a superior life when he gets old?”
(Note: Green blackmail, a term originated from Wall Street, can also be called a corporate predator. This is a commercial blackmail method often used in the 1980s. To operate specifically, first buy a large amount of a company's shares
shares, and then threatens a merger to force the company to repurchase its shares at a high price)
