"Mr. Aizawa, it seems that this time, we are going to trouble you again!"

"Where, I have been taken care of by you a lot before, and it should be my honor to be able to serve you again!"

……

When Sakurako and her friends who planned to run a yakiniku restaurant discussed the opening of the store, the selection of a new location began to be put on the agenda. Thanks to the strong response to winning the World Barista Championship. The forest Geisha that Sakurako had stockpiled before had been sold out, and even ...... Even next year's production has been booked by some well-known coffee chains, so Sakurako's cash flow is much more abundant. Although Sakura's debt ratio is still very high, Sakurako's current debt is mainly long-term interest-free loans provided by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, so Sakurako is not in a hurry to pay off this part of the arrears.

As for the barbecue restaurant, it was originally just an idea that everyone mentioned when they were chatting on the plane. However, when Sakurako seriously considered this plan again after winning the World Barista Championship, she thought that this somewhat taken for granted plan might really be a good idea.

Sakurako admires the quality of the Matsusaka Wagyu beef produced by the Miko family. The Miko family has been strictly following the rules of Matsusaka beef breeding over the years, and the beef produced is naturally not to be said. But...... Because Matsusaka beef has now become synonymous with high-end Wagyu beef, it is even more recognized in Japan than Kobe beef. It is for this reason that in recent years, some capital forces who want to get involved in this industry have begun to get involved in the breeding industry of Matsusaka Wagyu. The problem is the decline in the quality of Matsusaka Wagyu and the narrowing of sales channels for Wagyu beef. Although the supply of top-quality Matsusaka Wagyu beef has always been in short supply in the high-end restaurant industry, the average rancher does not have the ability to sell his Wagyu beef to high-end restaurants. And this is exactly what Sakurako is good at.

Whether it's running an upscale club in Ginza or a specialty coffee in Sakura-no-Sato. Sakurako's principle of doing business has always been to pursue the ultimate service to customers. That's why, back when she was running the Ginza Club, Sakurako's Club used top-quality fruits such as golden peaches, sun eggs, and light snow strawberries. Because Sakurako knows that the guests who come to her club don't care about the price at all. Even though everyone knows that the price of alcohol alone in the Ginza club is several times that of the outside, and the girls in the club don't do anything but chat with the guests, the rich still flock to the high-end clubs in Ginza, and in the final analysis, the Ginza club is the best place in the country to show off the strength of men.

Although Sakurako no longer runs the club now, she ...... It wasn't a pleasant experience, but it taught Sakurako a lot of business knowledge, and along with it, Sakurako got to know a lot of suppliers who deal in top-notch ingredients.

……

"Mr. Aizawa, because we want to run a top-notch yakiniku restaurant, we ...... If we can, we hope to find a place to operate. ”

"Oh...... That's right! Well...... Your budget is about ......"

"70 million yen! We want to keep the budget within this range as much as possible!"

"Oh...... If that's the case......! Places like Roppongi and Daikanyama are probably not very suitable!"

"Hey!"

I saw that Yuji Aizawa thought for a moment, and then took out his notebook and rummaged through it, and after a while, he raised his head and asked the shadow:

"What do you think...... What about the Nishi-Shinjuku area? Although it is not a business district in the traditional sense, and the level of prosperity is not comparable to places like Shinjuku Station and Kabukicho, in terms of location, Nishi-Shinjuku is not far from these two places, and it is ...... There are many headquarters of large companies in the area, and even the Tokyo Metropolitan Government Building is nearby, so if you can afford to open a barbecue restaurant in a high-rise commercial building, I think the view from the window will be spectacular when it is open at night!"

"High-rise buildings? Yes...... Is it something like a shopping mall?"

"Uh...... No, it's a pure office building, I have a commercial real estate that I only rent but not sell, and the rent is about 15 million per year. If you choose to rent for a long time, there are still discounts in terms of price, in fact...... It was originally rented by another of my customers to run a high-end teppanyaki restaurant, but ...... Because there was a big problem in the business, he is now anxious to find a next home to get rid of. The decoration and kitchen equipment in the store are brand new, and the smoke extraction ducts have just been remodeled, I think...... If you run a barbecue restaurant, you should be the right place!"

"Nishi-Shinjuku, there...... How is it from Shinjuku Central Police Station?"

Hearing the location that Yuji Aizawa said, Sakurako couldn't help but ask with some anticipation.

"Uh...... If you walk, it shouldn't take you a few minutes, and to be honest, the scenery is really not there, and the entire floor is covered with floor-to-ceiling windows, and you can enjoy the beautiful view of Shinjuku Gyoen National Garden. Especially at night, the view is really indescribably spectacular!"

……

Hearing Yuji Aizawa's introduction, Sakurako's heart suddenly became thoughtful. At the beginning, he planned to buy a real estate as a store location, but at this time, he began to waver. Especially since it was so close to Lin Shuichi's place of work, it made Sakurako even more determined to open the store there.

"Hmm...... Mr. Aizawa, the ...... If you can, can you take me to see it now?"

"Uh...... Of course, Sakurako-san!...... Shall we leave now?"

"Hmm...... By the way, if I'm going to rent there for a long time, how much discount can I get in terms of rent?"

"This ...... To be honest, my client is a bit strapped for money right now, and if you can sign a five-year lease contract in one go, I'm sure I'll be able to convince him to reduce the annual rent to 12 million, you see...... Are you comfortable with the price?"

"12 million yen, if you can rent such a nice place, then the price is really reasonable. But...... In addition to me, there are three other partners who work with me on the opening of the store this time, so I still need to consult everyone's opinions on the location of the store, if you can, can you please give me some more time for me to discuss with you?"

"Well, what do you think of tonight?"

"Huh?"

"Ah...... Don't get me wrong, I just thought that if you could enjoy the night view of Shinjuku with your own eyes, it might give you a more intuitive experience!"
