The two of them were thinking about the same thing, and the tacit understanding at this moment caused a warm atmosphere that could not be described in words to flow around them.
"Shenyi's expression..."
Nakamori Akina noticed this and asked him with a smile, "I was thinking about this just now, right?"
She broke the news, and Iwahashi Shinichi also laughed. Instead of answering the question, he asked, "Compared with an apartment, would you rather buy land and build a house?"
"How should I put it?" Nakamori Akina subconsciously fiddled with her fingers, "Building a house seems to have a more family feel."
If only she and Iwahashi Shinichi lived together in a beautiful apartment, it would be very fashionable and save a lot of troubles. However, if they get married and form a family, it will still be a single-family house.
It can hold more memories. About the couple and the children.
Buy the land and build a house. Many years will pass, and when the house needs renovation, it will be repaired and renovated. No matter how many years pass, it will still be the "Iwahashi family".
The old house of the Nakamori family in Kiyose was once such a place.
For Akina Nakamori, after losing the house full of memories of her past, she realized that more than anyone else, she had a deeper understanding of what family is like and what memories about family are like.
"It's a good idea to buy land and build a house." Shinichi Iwahashi also agreed. "You can build whatever kind of house you want to live in."
Akina Nakamori talked about the Iwahashi family’s old house in Shizuoka, “Shinichi’s hometown, the house looks like a foreigner’s house from the outside.”
Iwahashi Masaaki and Iwahashi Chiyo, a couple, actually built a house full of Western flavor. Shinichi Iwahashi was also surprised when he saw the real house for the first time.
But at this moment, when Nakamori Akina mentioned this matter, Iwahashi Shinichi joked to himself, "That's why I don't know anything."
Although the character of the King of Soft Rice is on the verge of collapse, his ability as a master of climbing the ropes is still top-notch.
Akina Nakamori really believed it, "Are Shoaki-san and Chiyo-san actually people with more Western-style living habits?" Therefore, they raised a person who doesn't even know how to get to Hatsuru on New Year's Eve, like a foreigner.
Son of man?
Iwahashi Shinichi nodded deliberately and pretended to be serious. Seeing that she took her seriously, he finally stopped holding back and laughed. He knew that when she came back to her senses, she would punish him, but looking at her childish expression,
Shinichi Iwahashi couldn't help but want to tease her. After dating Akina Nakamori, he became childish when he was with her.
After being served a dish by him, Akina Nakamori glanced at him angrily, "It's so childish."
Shinichi Iwahashi touched the fluffy head of the puppy in his arms, then looked at Akina Nakamori and said, "It's so cute."
"What's cute?" she asked.
Shinichi Iwahashi smiled and said, "No wonder the prank show likes to tease you."
Nakamori Akina raised her eyebrows and settled the score with him, "You know I'm easy to be deceived, but you still deliberately tease people. This kind of guy is really annoying."
Shinichi Iwahashi asked, "Do you hate me now?"
"I can't answer you." Nakamori Akina made a gesture of zipping her mouth, "So, I won't answer you."
"Okay." Iwahashi Shin nodded.
However, he did not continue to dwell on this matter, and turned the topic back to buying land to build a house, "If you want to buy land, considering commuting to and from get off work, it is not good to buy too far away."
Shinichi Iwahashi made serious plans, and Akina Nakamori heard this and began to lose his temper.
"You." As soon as she opened her mouth, she kept pestering her, "You gently and deftly dropped the topic."
Looking at her appearance, it seems that when she was zipping up her mouth, she had already predicted in her mind that she would have to keep her composure next, and no matter what Shinichi Iwahashi said, she would remain unmoved...
"So cunning." Akina Nakamori complained about him.
Iwahashi Shinichi was not so much unable to deal with her as he knew how to deal with her. So, he did not respond, he just smiled and accepted everything she said.
"This smiling face looks even more cunning now." Nakamori Akina seemed to be angry with him, stretched her little face in front of him, and complained again.
The coquettish puppy in Iwahashi Shinichi's arms saw this and began to twist its body, wanting to play with her. Nakamori Akina looked at the excited puppy, as if she saw her current unreasonable appearance in the mirror, and couldn't help it.
Laughed.
"It makes sense." She naturally took over what Iwahashi Shinichi had just said, "If you live too far away, it would be too hard to spend time commuting every day. However, buying a piece of land closer..."
Nakamori Akina's little face wrinkled, as if she had eaten a sour plum, "It's a huge expense." Her expression was quite interesting. Shinichi Iwahashi saw it and couldn't help laughing.
"But there's nothing we can do about it." She sighed, as if talking to herself, "After all, we want to get married."
After saying this sentence, everything, whether it was the worry of choosing where to buy land, the amazement at the huge expense of buying land, or even earlier, the "cunning" complaints about Iwahashi Shinichi, the
He made fun of his own dissatisfaction...
Everything will disappear.
Or maybe, in fact, it has not dissipated, but the vision for the future is broad enough to accommodate all of this.
…
However, if you want to buy land and build a house in an ideal location, you have to pay a lot of money, and you also need to be able to buy a satisfactory piece of land.
When moving to live together, the matter of finding a house was left to Yanyin to handle it, and Shinichi Iwahashi was responsible for collecting the bills. But when it came to buying land and building a house, this job naturally had to be taken care of by Shinichi Iwahashi himself.
When the real estate bubble was at its peak, the reason why the Japanese were confident that land prices in Tokyo would never fall was that, as a center, Tokyo had not much land that could be developed and utilized, but there was a steady stream of people flocking to the city, and the high land prices were the reason.
Such a metropolis deserves the land value.
Regardless of whether this idea is right or wrong, complacent or short-sighted, when Shinichi Iwahashi actually inspected the land, the more he personally worked on it, the more he realized that it was not easy to choose a suitable piece of land.
Not only must you consider all aspects on your own side, but the real estate company must also examine all aspects of the buyer.
A good piece of land, even if the real estate bubble bursts and land prices plummet, one day, such a piece of land will still reflect its value again. Although it will not return to the grandeur of the bubble era, it will still be expensive and sought-after.
What will really turn into scrap metal when the bubble bursts is something that is worthless in the first place.
Since Iwahashi Shinichi and Nakamori Akina had reached an agreement to buy land and build a house, he found Imai of Kanzaki Real Estate and entrusted him to help keep an eye on it.
The matter was so important that Iwahashi Shinichi asked Imai to make a trip, and the two met at a cafe near GENZO to discuss it face to face.
"Long time no see, Imai-san." When they met, Shinichi Iwahashi greeted him.
When I say this to Imai, I am definitely not being polite, it is a fact.
"Greetings from Kusu, Iwahashi-san." Imai bowed his head deeply, acting more cautiously and humbly than when he dealt with Shinichi Iwahashi before.
When Shinichi Iwahashi first found Imai and handed over his commission, he was not only unknown, but also completely penniless. Nowadays, when meeting people from the past, it is inevitable to experience such subtle changes.
However, this is not important to Iwahashi Shinichi.
After exchanging pleasantries, he explained his intention to Imai. He wanted to buy a piece of land that should not be too small. The environment should be good, but it should not be too far from the center of the city, and the neighbors should be easy to get along with...
"I see." Imai kept writing with the pen in his hand, listing Shinichi Iwahashi's requirements, whether they were reasonable or unreasonable, easy or not easy, in short, he wanted to record them all first.
After Iwahashi Shinichi finished speaking, he had written everything down, and then he confirmed the request put forward by Iwahashi Shinichi bit by bit and listened to Iwahashi Shinichi's description in more detail.
Imai has been in the industry for many years and has rich experience. He can tell immediately what the purpose of this land is. Even if Iwahashi Shinichi doesn't explain it himself, he knows it. Of course, this is a basic skill for this profession.
"Another point."
As soon as Iwahashi Shin thought of something, he finally added one more thing, "When building a house, we will also consider the need to build a recording studio at home...such a need."
Not only might Nakamori Akina use it, but we should also consider the possibility of inviting musician friends to the house as guests, or inviting new people from the record company to the house, and so on.
Once you make a plan that will never move, you always want to make it perfect.
Even Iwahashi Shinichi is not exempt from such thoughts.
However, Imai listened to this request, recorded it in his notebook, and nodded with understanding, "Iwahashi-san is a person in the music industry, so he is very considerate of this..."
When he said this, he seemed a little ashamed and said politely, "Even if you don't mention your needs like this, we should take them into consideration for you."
Iwahashi Shinichi smiled and said, "If there is anything I haven't considered, I hope Imai-san can give me some advice."
After saying the polite words, the business of meeting Imai came to an end for the time being.
After confirming that Shinichi Iwahashi had nothing to add, Imai closed the notepad. Shinichi Iwahashi looked at it and remembered the first time he visited Kanzaki Real Estate.
At that time, it was because of a pen that could not write ink that he met Sachiko Kamaiike for the first time.
But after that, I got to know Sachiko Kamaichi through Akamatsu Haruko, and neither Iwahashi Shinichi nor her ever talked about that first meeting. It wasn’t because there was anything unspeakable about that encounter, it was just that they didn’t talk about it.
of necessity.
With Kamai Sachiko herself, it was impossible to discuss the first meeting at Kanzaki Fudoya as a topic of conversation. On the contrary, when she and Imai were face to face, it was more natural for Iwahashi Shinichi to think of what happened at that time.
Shinichi Iwahashi was like this, and Imai, who was sitting across from him, would never forget it.
I bought a piece of land of one and a half square meters and mortgaged it, and in this way I got the first pot of gold for starting a business. Not only that, when I bought this land, I also worked with Sachiko Kamaichi, the lead singer of the band ZARD, which he later produced.
We had a chance encounter.
When ZARD became popular in Japan and Kamai Sachiko became a big star, Imai had already forgotten the contempt he felt when he first learned that Kamai Sachiko had resigned to become a model. He began to feel proud to have been a colleague of Kamai Sachiko. Not only that.
, he also met Shinichi Iwahashi early on and witnessed with his own eyes how this man became a big shot.
Having witnessed it so closely, for Imai, it felt like he had participated in it as a special character.
Maybe, in a few years, when a biographer wants to write a "successful biography" of Iwahashi-san, he will have the opportunity to be interviewed and speak to the writer.
Special emphasis should be placed on the pen that suddenly couldn't write, the "pen of destiny".
When Imai first entered the industry, it was a period when land prices in Japan began to rise rapidly. He experienced it personally and saw many grievances and resentments surrounding "land". Now, he has witnessed the bursting of the real estate bubble and continues to see it.
He writes about various things about "land".
The atmosphere of depression began to permeate the society, and the number of houses registered by real estate companies and hoped to be sold on their behalf also increased significantly.
When the stock market bubble burst, a group of buyers who bought houses at high prices fell out. Families that could still afford the loans had to pay for their losses because they lost all their money in the stock market. In the end, as long as one
If you fail to keep up with the link, it will immediately be like a falling domino, leading to the ending of "selling the house and waking up from the bubble dream".
Some people bought a house at a high price, and their lives became a mess. There are also people who bought a house at the right time and sold it at the right time, so they made a lot of money and achieved success with hard work.
, money that cannot be exchanged for many years.
No matter how hard you work, it can't compare to the good luck of making the right choice at the right time...
In this case, what's the point of trying hard?
Similarly, no matter how proud you are, if you don't make the right choice at the right time, you may fall into the abyss of eternal destruction, and the harder you work, the deeper you will fall.
Over the years that Imai has been working in this field, he has seen so many things surrounding land that he often cannot help but think that the expanding land bubble has destroyed the principles of life he has believed in since he was a child.
How can people who have experienced such an era face the saying "hard work will be rewarded" in the future?
Recently, such thoughts have sometimes appeared in Imai's mind. When Iwahashi Shinichi contacted him, Imai was actually full of expectations for meeting this Iwahashi-san again.
In anticipation, there is another thought.
Iwahashi-san in front of me, did the first step he took make the right choice at the right time?
