"You'll go back to see your mother tomorrow, okay?"

Early the next morning, while eating, Shinichi Iwahashi suddenly discussed with Akina Nakamori.

Akina Nakamori shifted her attention from the plate to Shinichi Iwahashi's face, her eyes staring at him and her mouth chewing as if his face was the next meal.

"What?" she asked, swallowing the food in her mouth.

Shinichi Iwahashi brought it up, "Didn't Akina-san say that you want to ask your mother to make a fried hamburger for me?" He did the same, ordering in front of Akina Nakamori's face, "I want to eat a fried hamburger." ”

Akina Nakamori made him laugh at the last sentence.

"Are you going tomorrow?"

She was suddenly in a good mood. Put down your chopsticks, prop your elbows on the table, and confirm with him.

"Can you let me go?"

She put down her chopsticks, and Shin'ichi Iwahashi waved them upside down, returning his attention to the food in front of him, eating the bowl and thinking about the pot, "I'd love to try the fried hamburger." ”

Akina Nakamori dislikes him, "like a child who is greedy and cheating." ”

Iwahashi Shinichi didn't care and accepted her words. Again, he asked, "Okay?"

"I don't know. Akina Nakamori replied, "Wait until I call my mother." "If you suddenly want to change your plan, you should first greet Chieko to confirm.

Iwahashi nodded cautiously in understanding, "Then please." ”

There is no time on Monday, and Tuesday is not idle. said that he was going to eat fried hamburgers at Akina Nakamori's mother, and he was really going to have a meal, and he went over before noon, put down his rice bowl and left.

Iwahashi swept away the dishes in front of him, ate and drank to his heart's content, put down his rice bowl, and prepared to go to work.

Sending him out, Akina Nakamori looked at the time and called Chieko first. Facing Iwahashi Shinichi just now, although he said something cold, Akina Nakamori's heart was already full of this matter.

"Good morning, Mother!" she was in good spirits as soon as the phone was answered.

Chieko also felt her daughter's energy across the phone line. As if she was also influenced by her daughter, she learned her tone and replied heartily, "Mingcai-chan is also good!"

The mother and daughter had a tacit understanding and stood in front of the telephone and laughed.

"I'll go back to see you tomorrow, okay?"

Akina Nakamori and Chieko coquettishly, "I want to ask my mother to prepare a fried hamburger." ”

"Absolutely. ”

Chieko agreed, and suddenly talked about the old thing, "Akina-chan likes the fried hamburger I made the most, I was wronged when I was a child, as long as I put the fried hamburger in front of you, even if you are crying, you will cry and eat non-stop." When I finished eating, my tears were gone. ”

"Mother~!"

Suddenly being talked about when she was a child, Akina Nakamori felt embarrassed. However, I subtly realized the meaning of Chieko's words. She said to Chieko, "Tomorrow, let Iwahashi go too, is it okay?"

Akina Nakamori explained, "I told Iwahashi that my mother's fried burger was the best. ”

"It's amazing. Chieko laughed on the phone, "It's such an exaggeration, what if Iwahashi-kun is looking forward to it, but it doesn't suit your taste." ”

"No, it won't. Akina Nakamori didn't hesitate, "The fried burger made by my mother is definitely the best." ”

Chieko laughed at her, "So domineering." ”

Akina Nakamori also smiled and mixed up the words. The trick of passing the trick of cuteness is probably cultivated by the way when she was still by Chieko's side and coquettish with her mother.

She digressed, "I also brought a gift for my mother. Other people's have it too. ”

After agreeing with Chieko to go back tomorrow, Akina Nakamori put down the phone and went to the entrance to deal with the pile of luggage that she hadn't had time to organize and store, and divided the gifts she brought back.

If you want to accommodate Iwahashi's time, you have to change your original plan. While she was packing her things, she had a plan in her mind.

After thinking about it for a while, I remembered that Shinichi Iwahashi was going to his mother tomorrow.

is not close to his family, and the only intimate relative is his mother. Going back to visit her mother, for Akina Nakamori, the warmth is certainly warm, but it also carries a certain subtle loneliness.

However, Shinichi Iwahashi told her early in the morning that he wanted to eat the fried hamburger that his mother had made.

Akina Nakamori thought of Shinichi Iwahashi's intentions, and she was in a happy mood, and from now on she was looking forward to tomorrow and eating her mother's fried hamburger.

The best fried burger in her heart.

There is also a favorite mother, a favorite Shinichi Iwahashi.

......

On Monday, Shinichi Iwahashi finished the meeting on his side first, and when he returned to the office, he started to call, and the schedule was full all morning, and he was a little relieved until almost noon.

At noon, I also made an appointment to go to dinner with Watanabe Manyumi.

Since he became independent and began to cooperate with Watanabe Manyumi, it has been almost a fixed schedule to sit together for lunch every Monday to exchange information and talk about business.

Especially now, more and more people are cooperating and more and more are involved.

Before leaving, he had a little time to spare, and Iwahashi took a break. While drinking coffee, I pondered what I was going to say when I met Watanabe.

I was stunned and remembered the strange phone call I received last night.

The thug named Yamada (suspected) was in hot pursuit to buy his small piece of land that was one and a half square meters. Shinichi Iwahashi remembered this incident, picked up the phone again, and rummaged through the paging number of Imai of Kanzaki Real Estate.

Imai's call back took a long time, and it didn't come until almost noon.

Before, things like moving and finding a house were also handled by Imai, and the two became more and more familiar - especially after Sachiko Kabuike, a former fan collar of a real estate company, became the lead singer of Shin's band under Iwahashi.

Now, after a few brief greetings, Iwahashi Shinichi turned to the topic, "It's about the area where the flat and a half land are located." Didn't you say that there was a plan to demolish and re-plan the demolition before? ”

Iwahashi Shinichi has never asked about that small piece of land, and when Imai told him about the development of that block, Iwahashi Shinichi also didn't care.

Now suddenly asked about the demolition of this land, Imai has a momentary surprise - but only for a moment.

However, a person who had never asked about it suddenly asked about it. Imai remained silent and only answered the question asked by Shinichi Iwahashi, "It's sticking." ”

"Really?"

Imai agreed, "Iwahashi-san also knows that the ownership of land in that area is chaotic, and it is not easy to negotiate the transfer of land from house to house. ”

There are not many households who signed contracts at the very beginning and thought of selling their land as soon as possible.

The land in that block is divided into fragments, and even if the land price of 4 or 5 million 1 tsubo, plus the compensation for the buildings on the land, the compensation received will not allow the residents here to own their own land in the prosperous area of Tokyo in this era of skyrocketing land prices.

The smaller the plot of land, the more difficult it is to get hold of when it is demolished.

"However, there are also those who are very happy. ”

In the past, land prices were not as high as they are now, and land in the messy neighborhood was not easy to sell, and the land was handed over to the children who inherited the family business, and no one else had any opinions.

But now it is different, first the land appreciates to a number that makes people red, and then, in the event of demolition, there is an opportunity to quickly discount, and it is not easy for brothers and sisters to be calm and accept that the land is only given to one person.

There is no need for people from the real estate company to persuade them, and those who want to take advantage of the demolition to sell the land and share the money can make a pot of porridge by themselves first. In the end, regardless of the outcome, whether it is divided equally or inherited by one person, the land will definitely be sold.

But in the same way, whether or not the money is shared, the stalemate between relatives will become an unshakable fact.

The war for production will not be less anytime and anywhere.

This is especially true in this bubble era, and it is not surprising that anything happens to those who cut ties and kill people for the sake of land.

"That being said," Iwahashi Shinkazu, "the difficulty of dealing with this land is on the table, and since the Tachikawa industry dared to take over in the first place, there was always a way, right?"

"That's right. Imai understood what he was saying, and explained to him, "After all, I always sent in the staff—it is said that the most patient and skilled housewives in dealing with the neighborhood were hired to do the work of persuasion." ”

"If persuasion fails, I will send my younger brother to greet him. Imai understated.

Being greeted by the thugs in the morning and evening is definitely not pleasant. When the trick of greeting the thugs at the door does not work, the action is further increased, and it becomes a means such as making harassing phone calls at night, destroying the wiring in the house, and throwing a dead cat at the house.

Imai works in a real estate company, and he is clear about all the methods used by real estate companies to acquire land, and he has heard too many such dramas, and he has long been indifferent.

"Moreover, I heard that behind Tachikawa Kosan is the Inagawa Society. He casually revealed a word to Shinichi Iwahashi.

But the more casually it is revealed, the more important it is.

Iwahashi listened, "I see. ”

Backed by the Great Pole Road Organization in the Kanto region, it makes sense that it dares to take over the transformation of this neighborhood. It's not surprising, then, that a gangster called him to buy land.

However, as soon as Shinichi Iwahashi had such an idea, he suddenly heard Imai ask him, "Did Iwahashi-san also receive a call from Tachikawa Kosan to negotiate?"

"I was about to say this. Shinichi Iwahashi told him, "A man called me three times and said that he would buy the land in my possession at a high price of 5 million yen. ”

As he spoke, he first felt that something was wrong.

"Five million yen for a high-priced purchase?" Imai said in a strange tone.

"If you were from a real estate company, you wouldn't say such a thing, would you?" said Shinichi Iwahashi himself.

"Of course I wouldn't say that......"

Imai is like talking to himself. After a pause, he said, "It doesn't sound like a person from Tachikawa Xingsan." ”

"No, no. Shinichi Iwahashi himself thinks.

"If you want to say that, Tachikawa Kosan hasn't called me yet. He doesn't remember receiving a call from Tachikawa Kosan.

"It's weird. Imai also had a bottomless reaction.

It seemed that he didn't seem to know the origin of the person who bought the land at a high price.

A young man of unknown origin, like a gangster, wanted to buy the land from himself, and offered a high price. At the same time, Tachikawa Kosan also obtained the development rights of this land and is mobilizing for demolition from house to house.

It's weird to think about this kind of thing.

It would be nice to get rid of this piece of land through Kanzaki Real Estate. Merely......

Iwahashi Shinichi hid the discomfort in his heart and turned the topic back, "Anyway, that piece of land is useless in my hands, I was thinking about asking your company to handle it on my behalf, and that ...... Yamada Kuwa...... It's the name. Trade with Yamada-san. ”

"Are you going to give the land to the caller?"

Imai accepted his intention, "If you want to trade on your behalf, it's no problem here, and then Iwahashi-san and this side will sign a commission contract." ”

"But," Shin Iwahashi said, and an idea popped into his mind, "I want to put aside the land sale for now—of course, I still want to make a move." But before that, there's something Imai-san would like to ask for a favor first. ”

Imai awaits his next.

"Imai-san would like to ask for his help, and ask my colleagues if there are any other residents in that neighborhood who have sold their land to people other than Tachikawa Kosan. Shinichi Iwahashi spoke his mind.

Imai was a little hesitant, not quite wanting to solicit such a thing outside of his duties.

Iwahashi Shinichi continued to please, "You don't need to listen too much, just know if there are any other people who are selling land at this juncture." ”

He went on to say that he would pay Imai a sum of money later.

Hearing that there was money to take, Imai's attitude began to change. The two chatted on the phone for a while, and Imai agreed to help inquire among colleagues.

Putting down the phone, Iwahashi Shinichi looked at the time, it was a little late.

At noon, I also made an appointment to have dinner with Watanabe Manyumi, but this time I was definitely late. He cleaned up briefly and went out to the appointment. When I arrived at the restaurant where I had made an appointment, sure enough, Watanabe Manyumi had arrived.

"A slight delay. ”

Shinichi Iwahashi sat down across from her and explained.

Watanabe Manyumi didn't take it to heart and smiled, "It's Monday after all." ”

"That's just as well. Iwahashi Shin went down as soon as he had a staircase, and casually joked to himself, "After all, even now, I came here with a stomach full of things to discuss with you." ”

"If you want to say that, you have to let your stomach pour out before you can spare room for food. Watanabe Manyumi sarcastically mocked him.

Iwahashi Shinichi laughed when he heard this, and asked her in turn, "Isn't there something Wanyumi-san wants to say to me?"

"I'm not like you who put things in my stomach. ”

She said a bad joke seriously, and Iwahashi Shinichi didn't think anything about it, but made herself laugh first. laughed and broke the gong, and gave up arguing with him and picked up the menu.

After ordering and waiting, Iwahashi Shinichi grabbed her first and chatted.

He was serious, "Before eating, pour down the contents of your stomach so that you can free up room for eating." ”

“......”

Watanabe Manyumi was half speechless, half funny, with an expression that she couldn't do anything about him.
