By the end of March, land prices, which had been rising for several consecutive years and had not stopped rising even when the stock market cooled, actually stopped moving.
Although it didn't fall, it didn't rise again.
At this moment, the whole society is holding its breath, waiting to see whether land prices will resume their upward trend or fall steadily after this round. The worst result is that, like the stock market, several years of prosperity will disappear overnight.
The government, which has received high hopes from the public and will not sit idly by, is determined to burst the bubble and is embarking on a new round of interest rate increases, tightening real estate loans and implementing so-called tightening policies.
Nowadays, land prices have stagnated. In the eyes of many people, it is the credit of the new president of the Bank of Japan. It seems that he has hit the right brake and is slowly slowing down——
If that's the case, that would be great.
In the past, the dreamlike life of singing and singing every night was of course hidden in instability. But now, the situation of not knowing what will happen next and where the ship will go makes people even more panic-stricken.
The more panicked people became, the more they became superstitious about the "savior" and the more they admired the Bank of Japan president who claimed to burst the bubble. Suddenly, the new president's reputation was as good as ever.
But the things on the surface can cover the surface, and the things on the inside will not change because of it.
At this juncture, land prices are at their highest. To buy a piece of land for building a recording studio in these prosperous areas, the starting price is almost 90 million yen, and it can easily exceed 100 million yen.
Even if you go to nearby Machida City or Kawasaki City, just buying land will cost about 50 to 60 million yen.
Even if the singer is not an office worker who clocks in every day, the location of the recording studio is a little remote, so the impact will not be great. However, the people in our company can say that if the location of the recording studio is too remote, it is not suitable for renting out. A professional recording studio
, spending a lot of money to build it, basically speaking, it will not only be used for the exclusive use of our company's singers, but will also be rented out.
If it is inconvenient to rent and can only be used by people in the company, the cost will be too high to bear.
The most important thing is that the stock market collapse is just around the corner. The real estate market will follow the stock market and disappear overnight. This worst outcome is also the most likely outcome.
Most people cannot do such a thing, paying a high price to buy a piece of land when they know that they are only one countdown away from losing all their money. If they were to buy a piece of land now, they might not wait until the recording studio is renovated to experience it first.
High platform diving is so refreshing that it chills your heart.
"I actually have a square meter and a half." Iwahashi Shinichi laughed at himself.
Watanabe Manyumi made his words hit the point of laughter, "Do you still have that one and a half square meters of land?"
"After all, I helped lend out a treasure trove of entrepreneurial funds." Iwahashi Shinichi had some free time to make witty remarks to her, "Of course, now, there is no way I can borrow 12 million with such a small piece of land.
Yen."
To be honest, even if the one and a half square meters of land cannot be dealt with based on the value created by the loan of 12 million yen, it cannot be said to be a "loss" at all.
Just like at this moment, at least the two of them have reached a consensus that land prices will collapse. However, when they will collapse and to what extent they will collapse, these are all unknown. The most realistic approach is to
Estimate the value that this recording studio will create after it is built, and then come up with a price that can be sold, and then take action.
"To get hold of the land now is to seek death." Shinichi Iwahashi said very bluntly.
Watanabe Manyumi also agreed, "In the current situation, we can only withdraw from it, there is no reason to go in."
I have just witnessed the stock market disappearing overnight, and investors who have lost all their money are separated from their wives and families. People with a clear mind will not think that land prices will steadily fall and slowly return to a normal level.
In the final analysis, if Qian Yi mobilizes his whole body and chooses tough measures, the next development will no longer be controlled by anyone. After one corner collapses, the only thing waiting is the collapse of the entire building.
"It is not a wise move to buy land to build a recording studio now," Watanabe Manyumi said, "Although it is true that with the scale of GENZO, there should be a recording studio under its name."
This is the problem faced by those who enter the industry late and make a fortune late.
The recording studios owned by major record companies were built as early as the 1950s and 1960s. Unlike them, when the record company was established, the land price had already rocketed, and when the recording studio was needed, the land price had already reached outer space.
.
Watanabe Manyumi pondered for a moment and then mentioned, "Takeda Printing Company should also have a financial management subsidiary, and it is estimated that there are quite a few real estate properties under its name..."
The current real estate bubble, in which large companies have entered the market to hoard land, also plays a major role.
"To put it this way, Watanabe Productions has quite a lot of land under its name." Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned this, and Watanabe Mayumi smiled, taking it as acquiescence.
However, when she said this, Iwahashi Shinichi guessed what she meant, "Can you ask Takeda Printing Company to help?"
"I was just thinking, if the ownership of the recording studio is not 100% owned by us, but the management and operation are handed over to us... is it a solution?" Watanabe Manyumi was vague.
Iwahashi Shinichi laughed, "I'm really lucky you figured it out."
"No. It's just a whim." Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled.
Iwahashi Shinichi said, "If you say that, I am also fanciful."
Watanabe Manyumi grimaced again, "Only one thing is certain, now is really not a good time to buy land and build a recording studio. Even if there should be a recording studio under GENZO's name, we can't do anything that is too risky.
"
As she spoke, she paused and suddenly changed the topic to Shinichi Iwahashi, "What are your plans, Shinichi-kun?"
Watanabe Manyumi doesn't think that Shinichi Iwahashi's sudden mention of building a recording studio was to come to the conclusion that "now is not the right time to buy land and build a recording studio."
Iwahashi Shinichi told her the truth, "What I'm thinking is that domestic land is not suitable for sale. What if we build a recording studio abroad."
He said with a smile, "A little random, right?"
"Yes." Watanabe Wan Yumi nodded. She nodded and smiled, "However, I am not qualified to tell you." She asked, "Where do you want to build a recording studio?"
"Isn't ZARD going to Los Angeles for recording soon?" Shinichi Iwahashi mentioned.
Watanabe Wanyumi said to him, "You don't want to go on a business trip with me, do you?"
"When I go to visit the class in the middle, it's not impossible to check it out by the way." He replied, "After all, I am also the chief producer of ZARD. During the recording period, it makes no sense not to go and check the progress."
Shinichi Iwahashi's idea of building a recording studio abroad was a bit out of the ordinary, but it wasn't entirely willful.
"When the time comes, would you like to go on an inspection tour too?" Iwahashi Shinichi invited her.
Watanabe Manyumi joked with him, "I will pour cold water on him like crazy."
Watanabe Manyumi was amused by the speed of his reply. Of course she wouldn't go. She pushed the matter to Iwahashi Shinichi, "If the investigation really yields good results, it's not impossible to do this... maybe, it is true.
When we go overseas."
"Go overseas." Iwahashi Shin kept smiling.
Watanabe Manyumi showed a confused expression. He explained, "Our Yoshida-san's ultimate goal for the band is to win a Grammy Award one day."
"Really?" Watanabe Manyumi heard this and said to him, "Then please work harder, Shinichi-kun."
"This can't be achieved by shouting 'come on', right?" Iwahashi Shinichi sighed. However, joking aside, I still felt that if I could really run a recording studio overseas, it wouldn't be meaningless.
Business.
Some things always have to be tried.
Watanabe Wan Yumi smiled tolerantly and said, "Anyway, I hope you can get some results from your investigation."
"The same goes for Wan Yumi-san."
Shinichi Iwahashi was talking about the idea she just mentioned.
Watanabe Wanyumi laughed at his words.
After the meal, BEING turned to the BURNING department, and both of them dealt with it easily. As for the last mentioned recording studio matter, neither of them felt confident, but they each came up with an unspeakable trick.
Even so, if we really want to talk about it, the most important thing is that both of us can deal with it easily. If the recording studio matter is really inconvenient, we should put it aside for now, and at most we can continue to rent the recording studio.
But there is only one thing they have reached consensus on, which is that they will not buy land to build a recording studio in the name of the company. And this agreement, whether intentionally or unintentionally, reveals that both parties are not aware of the current situation.
optimism.
After having lunch with Mayumi Watanabe, Shinichi Iwahashi went to see Johnny's JR guys in the afternoon.
…
After GENZO sent manpower to take over the twelve JRs, Shinichi Iwahashi's first request was to let the twelve JRs choose the musical instruments they were interested in, whether it was one or two.
Shigeru Shigeru didn't hesitate and chose the guitar, and only the guitar. His guitar skills were so good that even the guitar teacher praised him, and even arranged for him to be a teaching assistant to help tutor other teenagers in learning guitar.
.
We hired a band production expert to take over the training of the JRs, and then arranged for them to learn musical instruments. The twelve JRs were not fools, and Johnny had a history of forming a band.
After much guessing, what JR and I said in private became more and more realistic. It is very likely that Genesis will select a band from among the twelve of them and give it to GENZO.
Produced by Iwahashi-san.
JRs all have their own things on their minds. Wherever there are people, there are always things on their minds.
When JR thought about the possibility of forming a band, he was quick-thinking. When choosing an instrument, he did not consider what he liked, but which instrument he chose that would be most likely to stand out.
Taichi Kokubu assessed the situation and believed that Shigeru Jojima was most likely to be the default guitarist. The reason why he thought this was because the person who took over JR's training was Shinichi Iwahashi.
If Jason hires a professional band producer, he will definitely take a fancy to the strength of the members.
Convinced that Shigeru Jojima would become a guitarist, Taichi Kokubu decided not to choose guitar. Although privately, he kept asking Shigeru Jojima for guitar lessons.
However, the twelve people who were now put together alone were no longer a hobby club, but it was time to vaguely want to do something for their own future.
There is Kunibu Taichi who is assessing the situation, and there is Sakamoto Masayuki who is confused.
Masayuki Sakamoto, who has been unable to make a debut for a long time, has just graduated from high school and will soon become an unemployed vagrant. Regarding this possible opportunity, he wants to seize it, but is unsure of the direction. Occasionally, he looks at Shigeru Shigeru, who is focused on nothing else, and envy him.
Apart from the mentality, I also know that this is the confidence brought by absolute strength.
Shigeru Jojima's guitar skills are so superb that not many people choose the same instrument as him. Not only that, the two boys who chose guitar with him are both outstanding handsome boys in JR.
When it comes to guitar playing skills, Shigeru Jojima can already be a teacher to JR who is present. In this case, if there is anything that can defeat Shigeru Jojima as a guitarist, it can only be that he looks more chic and outstanding, and is more suitable for the limelight.
Guitarist identity.
Similarly, Shigeru Shigeru believed that he could stand out through his guitar skills, so he was confident and determined to only choose the guitar.
I participated in the school band when I was a student, and later joined the Johnny's because I admired the youth team. If I was really selected to debut as a member of the idol band, it can be said that I have realized two dreams in life at the same time.
With this idea in mind, Shigeru Shigeru began to feel that since he had not debuted until now, this arrangement was not a bad thing.
…
This afternoon, Keiko Fujishima also appeared at the place where JRs were training.
When Iwahashi Shinichi passed by, he met her face to face. He had met her once before in the lounge of the Budokan, and he still had an impression.
He greeted: "Fujishima-san."
Keiko Fujishima was wearing a Gucci suit today and still looked like an office girl. She smiled politely and said, "Just call her 'Julie'."
This is not the first time I heard this.
Iwahashi Shinichi remembered that Fujishima Keiko herself mentioned, "When we first met, my mother asked you to call me 'Julie'." She said, "You continue to call me Fujishima-san, which makes me undecided."
Kitagawa Mari asked him to call Fujishima Keiko "Julie", but the next time they met, Iwahashi Shinichi also called him "Fujishima-san". This may not be an expression of politeness and alienation.
Iwahashi Shinichi politely replied, "Is it so serious?"
"To be honest, your name is 'Fujishima-san', which makes me think you are calling me my father." Fujishima Keiko looked at him.
Iwahashi Shin nodded, "I see. I understand."
Fujishima Keiko asked him, "Iwahashi-san came to see JR practice?"
"After all, thanks to Jason's trust, I took over the training of JRs." Iwahashi Shinichi replied. This way of speaking made Fujishima Keiko not like it a bit, thinking that this young producer was slippery.
However, apart from this apparently distant way of speaking, Fujishima Keiko does not have a bad impression of Iwahashi Shinichi. At the same time, she does not disapprove of his talent as a music producer.
Similarly, Fujishima Keiko also knew that this young producer was now a guest of her uncle Kitagawa Kaguya.
