Chapter 573, a house in Akihabara
The mood on the streets was depressed. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The subway is still crowded, with cramped carriages packed with passengers, if not during rush hour. But despite all the faces here, not one of them had a smile on their faces. No one is hanging up the phone in high spirits, no one is listening happily vaguely, and passing friends are not even in the mood to chat. But looking at those who have seats, almost all of them are staring at the newspaper with a frown.
Alice didn't dare to take a breath along the way, as if their jokes would make him crowd attack, and Alice swore that this scene could really happen in the tram. Hannah, of course, listened to her sister, and peeked at the middle-aged passengers' newspapers, and she quickly understood why.
The Japanese property market, which was booming a few months ago, suddenly plummeted.
Just last year, Mitsubishi Real Estate also invested heavily in the acquisition of 14 buildings in Rockefeller Center, with a sky-high price of $1.4 billion, which can be said to be second only to the Vanda Plaza in Manhattan invested and built by Alice Wang. Who knows, just today, with the total price of real estate in Tokyo, which can buy almost the entire United States, the entire Nikkei stock market began to fall.
This is a blow to the confidence of the Japanese people, although Alice has been to Japan in this life and the previous life combined, the number of visits to Japan is very limited, but she grew up in the era of the global village, and her understanding of this scene is even deeper than that of many contemporary Japanese themselves.
Empathy is the best way to understand. As a Chinese in her previous life, Alice knows very well what people's lifestyle and psychological conditions are like when the country's economy is highly developed, and tomorrow's life will be better, this sentence is simply simple common sense, and the achievements of her motherland before the end of her previous life can prove this.
From 2005 to 2015, China's total GDP grew by 3.7 times. The changes in the living standards and ways of living in the past decade are well understood by anyone who has experienced them.
The Japanese in the Showa era were like that.
In 1955, Japan's GDP totaled 9 trillion yen, and in 1965 it was 32 trillion yen, a net increase of more than three times. In 1975, this figure was 148 trillion yuan, a net increase of nearly five times, and in 1985 it was 320 trillion yuan.
The buying and buying of the Chinese in the new century is precisely to replicate Japan's behavior in the decades after the war.
Of course, based on the overall economic level and industrialization of the world, when Japan's GDP reaches a certain height, the growth rate per unit of time is indeed reduced a lot, but after all, the total amount is also placed here, and the global comprehensive influence will only become more and more far-reaching, and the people's living standards and self-confidence are even more impressive.
It was in such a situation that all of a sudden, the stock market suddenly plummeted.
"Oh my God, it's so depressing!"
As soon as she walked out of the Akihabara subway station, Sissi shouted, "I don't dare to take a mouthful!"
Hannah also frowned and said, "Mom is saying that the Japanese stock market has plummeted now, but as for everyone? You see, this is Akihabara, don't you think there are too few pedestrians?"
Outside the Akihabara subway station at two or three o'clock in the afternoon, passers-by are in a hurry, and although there are many of them, it is difficult to give a crowded and lively feeling. In the distance, a promotional event is being held in front of an e-store, and a high school bunny girl is constantly attracting customers with her childish voice, but the customer retention rate is obviously inversely proportional to her body and appearance, and the number is pitiful.
"Prosperity must decline, and I don't look at how high their housing prices have been in the past two years. Of course, Alice was not surprised at all, but she was happy at this time, gloating with a sad face: "Like us in the United States, the price fluctuation of real estate in a hundred years is only about 10%. It doesn't matter that the Japanese don't treat housing as a simple financial commodity, but if they invest overseas on this basis, it will be lively. ”
Sissi agreed. Don't look at the past few years without doing this job, her father has seriously worked on Wall Street to the executive level, and with a father like this, of course the level of his daughter will not be bad.
So it's a coincidence.
The peak of Japan's economy was in 1989, and it was also in this year that Emperor Showa was summoned by the lord to leave, and the Heisei era began. Then immediately after the arrival of the 90s, the local financial bubble burst, the so-called Showa boy, Heisei dead house, this hat is really buckled.
But compared to the economic crisis that swept the Western world in the thirties, Japan was lucky, at least not to the point where everyone had to receive a lunch box to receive handouts. This is just the stagnation of economic growth after the property market returns to normal, not the overcapacity of many industries, although many property speculators will inevitably jump off the building, but that's it.
Of course, you can't say this outside, otherwise the three girls will definitely be besieged by a group of angry office workers in the tram.
In general, the work of buying a house for the three women was completed quickly. Housing prices have just plummeted, and it is when all the landlords are thinking about jumping from a few floors, and suddenly there is a big man who intends to be a pick-up man. Especially when the landlord saw that the three buyers were not only little girls, but two of them were foreigners, wasn't that a typical wrongdoer?
Alice knows better than the landlord the rarity of this deal, and throughout the Heisei era, few families would aim to buy a house, and everyone has long been accustomed to renting. Of course, this will also increase population mobility, just like many beautiful girl games and anime with love are told, because the father transferred jobs, the mysterious transfer student suddenly arrived, and in this season of cherry blossoms, a beautiful love officially began~
In the case of Balabala, anyway, the whole of Japan is only such a large area in the end, and it is also a country in the oriental cultural circle, and its moving is not the same nature as Greater China.
In this way, a three-story commercial and residential house in Akihabara was bought by Alice with a wave of her hand.
The price of a Japanese house is not calculated by square meters, but by tatami mat units. One tassel is 1.62 square meters, and when you say a living room of 20 tassels, the residents of the country immediately have a clear understanding. This is the same as when buying a house in the United States, you can understand how big a house is when you say how many bedrooms there are.
"The living room and reception area are actually more appropriate to be called activity rooms. Alice strolled into the first room at the entrance: "A typical Akihabara property, for those small storefronts, with vague functional zoning, high comprehensive utilization, and even bathing and toileting, but no kitchen." ”
"Probably all instant noodles. Hannah said, it's not the first time she's been to Japan: "Japanese instant noodles are really good, but the price is also on the high side, but it's worth the money, right?"
This is Alice's impression of the Chinese version of the Chinese version, and Sissi immediately found the microwave oven from the other room, and it seems that it is a good choice to heat up curry if it is okay. Think about it, too, since the downstairs is Akihabara, I have chosen to live in this kind of place, if I still play the rhythm of living at home normally, buying vegetables and cooking every day, isn't it a bit too hypocritical?
"Sa~Minasan!" Alice crossed her hands and said, "Let's discuss what to do for a while, just leave the work to me, now immediately, where to play?"
Sissi was the first to respond and said: "Go to Ginza for a big meal, I want to eat the most authentic sashimi feast!"
Hannah sat down on the couch and followed Sissi's words, "Then let's go shopping in Ginza." There's no suspense. But what time is it?"
It's a problem, there is a remote appointment for Monica to rent a house, and the process of viewing and buying a house is extremely refreshing, so although the three of them arrived in Tokyo in the afternoon, everything was done at this time, and it was only eight o'clock in the evening. Of course, the regular meal has passed, but since you are in Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo's city that never sleeps, how can you go to bed early?
"Ginza, hehe, Ginza......"
Hannah said to take a nap, and Alice snuck up to Sissi and began to hum in her ear.
“…… What's wrong with Ginza?"
Qian Qian gave a disdainful look, did Grandma Liu visit the Grand View Garden?
Alice leaned closer and blew into Sissi's ear and said, "I know, Sissi, the 1-chome and 3-chome in Ginza, there are a lot of lace side bars~"
When Sissi heard this, she was immediately shocked, and quickly looked at Hannah nearby, but fortunately, she seemed to be really asleep at this time.
"Bastard, you, are you afraid she won't hear you!?"
"Hey, what I say in your ear can be heard by her?"
Sissi suddenly didn't move, and if you want to say that Alice has control over her voice, there is really no doubt about it, unless she is selectively brain-dead. But this kind of topic is heartless after all, and no one knows about the secrets of the two of them, except for the same kind of Maiya and Ashley, and if this is leaked to Hannah without warning, the consequences are really unimaginable.
But as she immediately remembered, as long as Alice had intended, the sound waves within range could have been transmitted even more than an inch away.
She squinted at someone: "It's okay to accompany you to the bar, it's easy for you to fool your age, but what should Hannah do, can we still dump her alone?"
"The bar is open until the early hours of the morning, and I didn't say I'm going to go tonight, so we can wait for her to fall asleep and go by ourselves, Tokyo's subway is so convenient." ”
The lace side bar, and it's Japanese, this exotic tone is not ordinarily interesting, and Sissi is really a little tempted. Of course, whoever goes there just to drink is called a fool, and if memory serves, it seems that there are similar types of shops in Kabukicho?
"Yo!" Alice's brain collapsed, and she called her god back: "What are you thinking, are you thinking of any unhealthy content? Harmony oh harmony, don't say unhealthy things!"
Sissi pouted, her eyes swept over Alice, and then she kissed her on the lips with a pop.
"Don't say it, I'll do it!"
