September 1985 came so quickly.

There are still many important changes taking place in Beijing this month.

For example, my country has reinstated Teachers’ Day, and Beijing has become a sister city with Madrid, the capital of Spain.

For example, twenty-two elk deer from Ubon Temple Park in the UK were flown to Beijing.

This rare animal, originally from my country and known as the "Four Unlikely", but now extinct in the wild, finally returned to its hometown from overseas and was able to thrive in Nanhaizi in the southern suburbs of Beijing.

Also, in an old factory area in Dabeiyao, Beijing, ground is being broken for a high-rise building.

Three years later, the Beijing International Trade Center built here became a new landmark of Beijing and will become the center of life and nightlife in the east area of ​​Beijing in the future.

The Great Bell Temple in the capital has a collection of more than 130 ancient bells from various periods, and the Ancient Bell Museum was also built this month.

So starting from this month of the year, the evening drums and morning bells, which the people in the capital had not seen for a long time, rang unhurriedly along with the annual rings.

The bells are still melodious and steady, but as time goes by, people inadvertently realize that the pace of Beijing's progress is still accelerating.

As for the changes that are closely related to Ning Weimin's interests, there are more.

Night markets like Xiushui Street and Dong'anmen Night Market have become the most popular individual markets in Beijing.

In the summer, the single-day turnover of these two newly established markets exceeded 200,000 yuan each.

It ranks firmly among the top two in all markets in Beijing that are dominated by self-employed individuals.

The turnover of Tianqiao Department Store also continues to rise. Not only has its reputation for fabrics and textiles as its main business spread throughout the city, but it is also known as the "No. 1 fabric store in Beijing" among the people.

The Pierre Cardin tail goods store opened on the first floor of Tianqiao Department Store has more appeal in terms of consumption.

Sales in August were close to one million, making it the retail store with the highest sales in Beijing and even the country.

For this reason, Xidan Department Store, which was deeply touched, has taken the lead in deciding to imitate the business model of Tianqiao Department Store.

It was announced that it would introduce Montagut from France and cooperate with several domestic clothing brands such as Plum Blossom Sportswear, Great Wall Raincoat and Yililan Down Jacket to open specialty stores and counters on the first floor of Xidan Shopping Mall.

In addition, Zhang Qiang's first music tape swept across the country and became popular all over the country.

Even the additional one million tapes later issued by Huaxia Audio and Video Company themselves were out of stock.

The Summer Book Market and Journey to the West themed exhibition in Temple of Heaven Park are also continuing to be popular.

In order to watch Zhang Qiang's performance, to see the Journey to the West exhibition, and to buy books, the Temple of Heaven Park has firmly attracted young people in the capital throughout the summer, making it a must-visit place for ordinary people to spend their summer vacation.

Benefiting from this, not only the crew of Journey to the West announced to the public that the production funds that troubled the crew have been basically resolved and the filming process will proceed as scheduled.

The unique cultural and creative product of the Temple of Heaven - the Qi Niandian ice cream is selling like crazy.

During the entire summer, sales actually exceeded 700,000, with profits exceeding 300,000, far exceeding the original expectations of the park and the manufacturer by several times.

If the stock had not been sold out and the manufacturer had not been able to rush to produce it, it would have been possible to sell millions of ice creams.

For this reason, the "Polar Bear" in Beijing has decided to set up an ice cream making workshop specifically for the Temple of Heaven Park to maintain supply all year round.

Many royal gardens in the capital, such as the Forbidden City, Beihai, Summer Palace, and Ditan Park, are following suit and launching their own cultural and creative ice cream.

Similarly, Ning Weimin, who was in Tokyo, Japan this month, did not waste time.

Although the weather can change at any time, within two days since he visited Taniguchi's house, Tokyo was hit by a super typhoon, with violent storms almost every day.

But until September 6th, which was only ten days, Ning Weimin still successfully completed several major events one after another.

First of all, he got his wish and finally owned his first real estate in Ginza, Tokyo.

However, it should be noted that the house that was the first to reach a transaction was not the one that Miyoko Kagawa wanted to recommend to Ning Weimin, but was found by Mitsunan Ono of Higashi Foundation after a lot of effort.

Since receiving Ning Weimin's 600 million yuan purchase request, this guy has been working hard to find real estate that meets Ning Weimin's requirements.

Unfortunately, in an era when mobile phones and computers were not yet popular for working, the speed and efficiency of information exchange were greatly limited.

Houses in these three core areas of Tokyo are already in demand, not to mention that Ning Weimin also required that the real estate must be traded, with full land and house rights, no mortgage, and no tenants.

The real estate registered within Dong Jiye Company is not completely consistent, there is always something lacking.

Either the ownership is inappropriate, there is a tenant, or the area is too small to be worth mentioning.

Ono checked the company's resources and found that it was really a challenging task to find a suitable target for Ning Weimin within one month as requested by Ning Weimin.

So there is no other way. Recently, Ono Mitsunan had to mobilize all his contacts to help find out relevant information.

Moreover, he himself was searching around the streets of Chiyoda, Chuo and Minato wards like a wild dog, trying every possible means to find his target.

Not to mention, hard work paid off, and he really found such a place.

Even he himself couldn't believe that he was so lucky.

Unexpectedly, at Ginza 5-chome 6-8, a street behind the famous Seiko Bell intersection in Ginza, I found a whole house with a huge advertising sign hanging on the wall. The owner left his phone number on the advertisement, and he seemed very anxious.

A three-story building for sale.

Why do you say you are lucky?

It's because this building is located in the most prosperous area of ​​Tokyo, so it's really well hidden.

Its door does not open on the main street, but leads to a small alley on the side with a width of only one meter.

If the building facing the street in front of this building was not under construction, it would have been razed to the ground by coincidence.

Mitsunan Ono walking through the main street would never be able to see the three-story building that was originally hidden behind the demolished building.

And the most incredible thing is that this small building is so shabby.

Although it is a one-family building, it covers an area of ​​about hundreds of square meters, and three hundred square meters is not too small.

But the outer wall is wrapped in worn-out iron sheets.

Due to years of disrepair, the iron sheets have become rusty, and some of the iron sheets appear to have been patched later, showing uneven and irregular textures.

From this glance, you can tell that it is a wooden shingle structure built in Japan decades ago. The owner must have built it and rented it out to multiple families.

The Japanese call this kind of house Abato, which comes from the English apartment.

It is now in a dilapidated state and looks out of place compared to the various tall buildings around it.

Even compared to the more stylish coffee shop next to the vacant lot, which is only two stories high, it is still a contrast between hell and heaven.

To put it bluntly, this small building looks like a place where poor people from the bottom live, but it is located in the core of Tokyo.

Under such a strong contrast, it looks like a haunted house that suddenly appeared. It is extremely unreal. Do you think it is strange or not?

Ono Mitsunan, of course, couldn't figure out how such dilapidated old-fashioned houses still existed on this street with the highest land prices in Tokyo.

So the first choice is to ask the security guards patrolling the streets.

"Excuse me, is that building a residential building? Is there anyone else living in that building?"

As a result, the security guard's reply was completely decrypted, but it was also quite unexpected.

"Are you interested in that house? Then I have to tell you the real situation. That house was built after the war. The original tenants were all traders operating in the Jiedi market, and later they gradually

Moved away. After so many years, there was only a lonely old man left living here. There were two fires in this house, but they were put out in time, and there were no casualties. It was just the last tenant, who just came in a few days ago.

He died here. Otherwise, the owner of the house still has no right to take the house back and sell it."

The next step was for Ono Mitsunami to personally investigate the legality of the building. He not only made an appointment with the owner of the house by phone, read the house deed and land deed in person, but also went to the Chuo District Government's Building Guidance Department to investigate relevant records.

The final conclusion was that, as the security guard said, this was a house built when the Building Standards Act was just promulgated in 1950, and the ownership was clear.

Moreover, there is no bank loan mortgage and no tenants, which fully meets Ning Weimin’s requirements.

However, to a large extent, the existence of this building is also a bug caused by the unreasonable design of the "over-protection of tenants" system in Japan's "Land and Home Lending Law".

There is no doubt that the last tenant here is definitely the most powerful tenant in Japan, and he has tricked the owner of the house to death.

Specifically, this long-lived tenant has been a tenant here since the house was built.

So according to Japan's relevant regulations to protect the rights and interests of tenants, during the tenant's tenancy period, the owner of the house has no right to let potential buyers come to inspect the house.

Landlords are not allowed to unilaterally terminate the contract or raise the rent. Even facilities that increase the rent require the tenant’s approval.

To put it bluntly, if the tenant does not leave or die, the landlord will not be able to generate income even though he holds such a high-value property.

Even after so many years, others refused to live in the house because it was dilapidated.

The owner also had to pay a lot of money for repairs to the house as the only tenant, which was a complete loss-making transaction.

This unlucky homeowner seems to be in a worse situation than the private homeowners in the Republic.

Because of this, even though they own such a high-value house, the owner's family has not been living a wealthy life.

Even if the most troublesome tenant has passed away, the serious sequelae still exist.

Because the house was so old, the owner simply couldn't afford to spend the money to rebuild it.

Not to mention that someone died in the house, which is the biggest taboo among Japanese people.

Even though the owner's family has endured the pain of starvation while guarding Jinshan, they can't wait to sell the house for cash.

But he went to several real estate agencies, and they all shook their heads at the condition of his property. They all advised the owner not to have too high expectations and to sell it at the market price.

They all said that this building is not adjacent to the main street and is surrounded by other buildings, which greatly reduces its commercial value and lighting.

If all the unfavorable factors are added up, the property should only be sold at about 70% of the standard land price.
