The thought of having over 100 million yen in funds in just a few days made Naoki Nagayama's mood incredibly good.
So happy, of course, he had to go out and have fun... No, he had to go and observe the market conditions, commonly known as looking for land...
Where was the land with the most potential for appreciation?
Of course, it was in places like Ginza and Roppongi... These core commercial districts were where Naoki Nagayama couldn't afford to buy any land!
Don't think that in 1981, the prices here would be much cheaper.
Those conglomerates, companies, businesses, and government agencies that turned these areas into central business districts, which one of them wasn't a shrewd businessman, occupying the core plots early on, and basically not wanting to sell them.
Now, if you want to buy a shop or land near the commercial center, you can only look in places beyond Nidaimachi or even Sandaimachi.
However, this time, Naoki Nagayama wasn't just looking for a shop, but indeed wanted to find a piece of land to open a disco.
That business plan was indeed feasible in some aspects, and the loan he obtained by submitting this plan, although the bank wouldn't be too strict, if it was found to be used for other purposes, it would damage his personal credit.
This would not be beneficial for his future snowball plan.
Discotheques were already popular in many places in the United States, and it was only a matter of time before they became popular in Japan. Building such a discotheque in advance, whether for subletting or finding someone to operate it, would not be a bad business.
As for operating it himself, which was easier than being a landlord?
Once the business inside developed, the land price would also be higher in the future!
Where was the target area? Do I even need to say?
For a discotheque, of course, it should be in a place with many young girls!
At the current male-to-female ratio in Tokyo, girls were very scarce, and their purchasing power was much higher than that of men. Men were also willing to spend money on them, which is why the term "four types of men" surrounding one girl became popular during the bubble era.
Where do young girls gather?
In fact, most young people who come to Tokyo for work live in Nakano. Opening a discotheque there would definitely be good business, but the land value would appreciate slowly.
A discotheque needs at least 200 square meters of space. In the central areas, on the one hand, it might be difficult to find a shop of the right size, and on the other hand, a discotheque is not suitable for a very bustling area, as most discotheques do not operate during the day.
Naoki Nagayama traveled from Setagaya to Nakano, then to Ichijima, Bunkyo, and finally to Shinjuku, a journey of over three hours, which definitely used up a week's worth of exercise.
In the end, "It should still be in Shinjuku. Behind it is the flow of people from Nakano, in front is the commercial area of Shibuya, nearby are the schools of Waseda, and further away is the art of Akihabara... From the bustling Kabukicho to the student streets of Takadanobaba, and the famous Shinjuku Station with its numerous transfer points..."
It was starting to sound like a real estate agent's pitch...
At this moment, Fujita Keiko's image suddenly appeared in his mind. Yes, it was time to renew this connection...
...
...
When Fujita Keiko received Naoki Nagayama's call, she was filled with surprise: "Ah, it's Naoki-san~"
"It's been a while, Keiko-san," Naoki Nagayama laughed on the phone, "How are you doing?"
"Hi, I'm doing well, how about Naoki-san? How are you settling into your new house?"
"Um, the new house is great, and I'm doing well~" Feeling that the conversation was about to drift into small talk with aunts and uncles, Naoki Nagayama quickly steered the topic back, "Keiko-san, I'm calling today because I have a favor to ask."
"Favor?" Fujita Keiko immediately returned to her professional demeanor, "Hi, please continue, Naoki-san."
"Here's the thing, I've had a bit of luck recently and made some money, so I want to buy another property." Naoki Nagayama tried to explain as clearly and concisely as possible.
"ε=(??ο`*))) Eh? Buying another property again..." Fujita Keiko was very surprised, "It's only been a year, not even three months!"
"Hi, it's just a matter of opportunity."
"Naoki-san is really amazing!" Fujita Keiko didn't hesitate to praise, "You're the most impressive person I've ever met!"
"Haha, thank you for the compliment~"
"So, what kind of property are you looking for, Naoki-san? The same as last time?"
"No, this time I want to buy a commercial plot of land." Naoki Nagayama added, "Preferably in Shinjuku, it doesn't matter what it was used for before, even a warehouse is fine, just the transportation needs to be a bit convenient."
"Hi, what's the budget?"
"About 100 million yen."
"Nani?? 100 million yen!" This was almost the highest budget Fujita Keiko had heard in her five-year career. The previous 10 million yen was already considered high-end for her.
"Naoki-san, is it a full payment?" Fujita Keiko tried to push back a bit, if it was a loan, this budget wouldn't be too outrageous...
After all, this was 100 million yen in the Showa era...
"Hi, I've never liked being a mortgage slave."
"...... Hi, I understand." Fujita Keiko felt a bit defeated, "Naoki-san must be the illegitimate child of a god of wealth..."
"Keiko-san, I'll look into it over the next couple of days."
"Hi, thank you for your trouble!"
...
...
Why did he choose Fujita Keiko?
Her abilities were still quite good, and since there was already a certain level of trust, there was no need to change.
Also, although Keiko-san was a bit interested in Naoki Nagayama's body, that was unavoidable (laughs)...
At least she was a pretty young girl, and being admired by such a girl felt secretly satisfying.
A day or two later, Nakai Enji called first, informing him that the loan was all set and would be transferred the next day.
This guy was a bit envious this time: "Kisama, you really hit the jackpot this time~"
"Ha ha ha, I'll make even more in the future. If you beg me on your knees, I might consider giving you some guidance~"
"Kono yaro~ You, I'm not talking to you anymore, I'm going to make money~"
The calls kept coming, and soon Fujita Keiko called: "Naoki-san, there aren't many commercial plots of land in Shinjuku that meet your requirements. I found only three, and I've already organized the information. Do you want me to send it to you?"
"Only three? I'll see them all when we visit the sites. Will Keiko-san still drive me around?"
"Hi, I'll pick you up tomorrow afternoon." After agreeing on the time, Naoki Nagayama thought,
"Recently, it seems like others have been driving me around. Should I buy a car and get a driver's license..."
Then he got excited thinking about the car model, but when he saw his wallet,
"Ah, I'm going to be broke again~ No worries, time to sleep!"
