In the bubble era when the "land myth" was enshrined as a guideline.

People no longer believe in hard work to get rich, and hard work seems pale and meaningless.

The sudden wealth accumulated overnight by speculators is beyond the reach of a salaryman who keeps to himself in a lifetime.

How long can an industry last when it becomes a game of drumming, fanning, and going on as fast as it gets? What kind of harm does it cause?

Today's people can't see it.

Today's Rigben Real Estate Company can't see it.

Since 1987, the total sales of Niben real estate in the country exceeded 30 trillion yen for the first time, and the real estate industry has completely stepped on the accelerator to the bottom, and the house is everything, which seems to have become the supreme concept that every Niben person believes in.

Even the wealthy chaebols are almost the same.

For example, Mitsui Fudosan invested in "Lala Baodu Tokyo Bay" and "Tokyo Disneyland", the Halekulani Hotel in Hawaii, and acquired the Exxon Building in the beautiful country.

Mitsui Fudosan is just a microcosm of Rigpen's investment properties.

In fact, every chaebol-based real estate company is desperately trying to find a way to expand.

Mitsubishi Estate is no exception, and like Mitsui Fudosan, they aspire to make a big impact overseas.

As a result, Rockefeller Center became Mitsubishi Land's most coveted property.

The reason why Ji Cheng is willing to eat Rockefeller Center for one billion dollars is precisely for this reason.

Because he was confident enough to make Mitsubishi Land willing to shell out more money.

Of course, all this needs to be persuaded by his incorruptible tongue after meeting with the core members of the Iwasaki family next.

Several people rode in a car to the Iwasaki family residence.

Ji Cheng met Tadao Iwasaki, the current head of the Iwasaki family, in the living room of the mansion.

Tadao Iwasaki is not the son of the previous head of the Iwasaki family, Iwasaki Koyata, he is the adopted son of the Iwasaki family, like Masayita Masayuki's father, Masaharu Matsushita, well, it is the son-in-law of Iwasaki Koyata.

Ji Cheng looked at the sixty or seventy-year-old man in front of him, and he didn't dare to slack off, and even felt a little nervous, because he didn't know if he could convince Tadao Iwasaki, the only member of the Iwasaki family who was allowed to be the president of Mitsubishi Corporation, when the chaebol collapsed after the defeat of Japan, after all, this ability is too strong.

"Sit."

Iwasaki Tadao saw everyone coming, standing in front of the fish tank to watch the fish, he turned his head and pointed to the sofa in the living room, the ordinary Japanese stupid people only have tatami mats in their homes, while the rich people's homes generally have a large space, and there are basically sofas and other furniture.

"Chairman Iwasaki."

"Iwasaki-senpai."

"President."

Several different salutations rang out, and then Sozo Horita, Jotaro Takagi, Masayuki Matsushita, and Minoru Makihara all sat down in turn.

Ji Cheng was arranged to sit on the single sofa closest to the side of the sofa in the middle, and he didn't bother in a hurry when he saw that Tadao Iwasaki was watching fish, but sat there thinking carefully about how to convince Tadao Iwasaki later.

Steve. White and Sophia. Green didn't sit down, they stood behind Ji Cheng with his bag, ready to provide materials at any time.

After waiting for about seven or eight minutes, Tadao Iwasaki turned around and walked over slowly, and then sat straight on the sofa and looked at Ji Cheng, "Joaquin Capital boss Ji Cheng Ji Jun?" ”

Ji Cheng said without being arrogant or humble: "Yes, hello President Iwasaki." ”

"Rockefeller Center in your hands?" Tadao Iwasaki asked expressionlessly.

Ji Cheng couldn't judge what his inner thoughts were from the other party's expression, so he could only say, "Yes." ”

Tadao Iwasaki sighed, "Congratulations to your company." ”

Belch.

What do you mean?

Dude, what do you think you don't seem to want to talk about?

Ji Cheng thinks it's not right, according to the historical progress, the Mitsubishi chaebol is indeed very eager to bring the Rockefeller Center under its command, otherwise it will not throw more than a billion dollars, but Iwasaki Tadao has a very cold attitude now, and he doesn't have a word to talk about it, is it ...... This old guy wants to deliberately show indifference to lower the price?

You should have guessed that right.

Why?

Ji Cheng revealed a very important information in Mitsubishi Land before, that is, he only met Tishman last night. Speyer signed a contract, but today he ran to the day stupid, and named the Mitsubishi chaebol, it is a person who can see that he is eager to sell the Rockefeller Center, even if he encounters this kind of thing, the first reaction must be to lower the price.

If at other times, Ji Cheng has time to fight psychological warfare against the other party, but he must remit one billion dollars to the designated account within a week, otherwise the huge liquidated damages compensation will be enough to kill him.

Sozo Horita is so accomplished in business, of course, he can see Iwasaki Tadao intentions for the first time, he looked at Ji Cheng, wanting to see how this young man who is now in the limelight will deal with this trouble.

Masayita Masayuki, Minoru Makihara, Takagi Shotaro and others reacted a little slowly, but then they also woke up, and their eyes were all locked on Ji Cheng.

Being watched by so many people, Ji Cheng still looked very calm, and he said with a smile: "Thank you Chairman Iwasaki for your congratulations, but I'm not ready to keep Rockefeller Center for my own use, and I'm ready to sell it." ”

Yes?

Why did you take the initiative to say that you were going to sell?

Isn't this an opportunity for Mitsubishi to lower prices?

Masayita Masayuki and Sozo Horita were both speechless at Ji Cheng's answer.

Minoru Makihara and Jotaro Takagi were happy, thinking that they could lower the price.

But Ji Cheng's next sentence made everyone's faces change greatly, especially Takagi Shotaro, the president of Mitsubishi Place.

I saw Ji Cheng go on and said: "I came to Japan this time, just to gather major real estate companies to listen to the quotations, such as Mitsui Fudosan , Tokyo Building Mono, Sumitomo Real Estate and so on, because considering that Mitsubishi Land has been working with Tishman before. Speyer talked about this, so I came to you at the first stop, well, of course, if I can't give me a satisfactory offer, I don't mind going to Europe or going back to the beautiful country to listen to other people's offers, especially Goldman Sachs, the land where Rockefeller Center is located has always been in their hands, if there is a chance to take the Rockefeller Center complex, I believe they will be very interested. ”

This sentence reveals several meanings.

First of all, Ji Cheng is not in a hurry.

Secondly, the Rockefeller Center is not afraid that it will not be sold.

Finally, it is well known that Goldman Sachs is indeed interested in Rockefeller Center, and if Ji Cheng is willing, Goldman Sachs Group will definitely spend a lot of money to acquire it.

Well, well, in fact, there is a clause in the contract signed by Ji Cheng, which is not allowed to be sold to a series of large conglomerates such as Goldman Sachs Group and Pretty Country, and the main reason is that the Rockefeller family is afraid that the Rockefeller Center will fall into the hands of these people and will not have a chance to buy it back.

In fact, Ji Cheng's range of sellers is very small.

But these people don't know about him and Tishman. The content of the contract signed by Speyer, he said this, and he was not afraid that it would be debunked at all.

Sure enough, after he said these words, Minoru Makihara and Jotaro Takagi showed nervous looks.

Sozo Horita and Masayita Masayuki glanced at each other, and they both saw a hint of appreciation for Ji Cheng in their respective eyes.

Even Tadao Iwasaki, an old fox who had not revealed any expression before, couldn't help frowning a little at this moment, but he hid it very well, and instantly put away his expression.

At this moment, Ji Cheng suddenly looked at Sozo Horita, "Chairman Horita, are you Sumitomo Group interested in Rockefeller Center?" ”

Small kiosk

Sozo Horita must be interested, or rather, there is no one who is not interested in the Rockefeller Center among the powerful real estate companies that are now in the Mitsubishi Group, but they are now in the Mitsubishi Group's nest, and this kind of thing cannot be said in person, so he has to say with a smile: "I personally think the Rockefeller Center is very good." ”

On the surface, this sentence is nonsense, as if no information has been revealed.

But how could a person like Tadao Iwasaki not hear that Sozo Horita meant "I'm very interested, let's talk in private", this time he couldn't sit still, after all, if Sumitomo Real Estate was allowed to get the Rockefeller Center, it would inevitably suppress Mitsubishi Land in momentum.

"Hehe, Ji Jun, since you know that Mitsubishi Land was working with Tishman before. Speyer is talking about the acquisition of Rockefeller Center, although I don't know how Huajin Capital got the Rockefeller Center, but if you want to sell, is it the first priority to talk to us? If you come into contact with other people, it will take a lot of time to learn about negotiations. While Iwasaki Tadao took the initiative to negotiate with Ji Cheng, he also secretly praised Ji Cheng in his heart, not at all like he was in his twenties.

In fact, people have a wide range of contacts, and they are naturally old and spicy, which has nothing to do with age, but with experience, Ji Cheng was indeed just an ordinary young man before, but in this time and space, he has been exposed to too many high-level levels, plus he has seen countless classic business examples in modern society, so he is naturally not easily grasped.

"Chairman Iwasaki has a point." Ji Cheng bowed his head and said, "How much are you willing to offer?" ”

After a little thought, Tadao Iwasaki said the price quoted earlier, "Mitsubishi Land has discussed this matter before, and the offer given is 846 million US dollars to win 51% of the shares of Rockefeller Center, if you want, I can add more, 900 million US dollars to get so many shares, what do you think?" ”

Masayita Masayuki and Sozo Horida looked at each other again, judging from the quotation, Mitsubishi Land spent $900 million to win 51% of the shares seems to be a bit of a loss, in fact, the real loss is Ji Cheng, because once the quarter sells 51% of the shares, Mitsubishi Land will become the actual controller of the Rockefeller Center, and then it is only a matter of time before the remaining shares under Ji Cheng's hands are swallowed up, and the transaction price will be very low.

Ji Cheng had already seen Mitsubishi Land's acquisition of the Rockefeller Center in the modern society, and what kind of idea Tadao Iwasaki made by the way of nature, but the negotiation was based on negotiations, and he directly opened his mouth and said: "The price of 900 million US dollars to win 51% of the shares is indeed reasonable, but I am not ready to sell only part of the equity, but I want to sell the entire Rockefeller Center, in this way, I do not include the lake, as long as Mitsubishi Land is willing to pay 1.6 billion US dollars, the Rockefeller Center is yours." ”

Iwasaki Tadao smiled dumbly and said, "Ji Jun, is your asking price too much?" ”

The asking price is excessive.

Not to mention Tadao Iwasaki, Minoru Makihara and Shotaro Takagi, the three people of the Mitsubishi Group, even Masayuki Matsushita, Sou Horita and even Steve. White and Sophia. Green thinks so.

But Ji Cheng said unhurriedly: "It makes sense that I want $1.6 billion, do you want to listen?" ”

Does it make sense that you're asking for $1.6 billion? What's the point?

Everyone's curiosity was aroused by him.

Tadao Iwasaki blinked, "Tell me, I'll listen." ”

Everyone's eyes converged on Ji Cheng's body again, and they also wanted to know what Ji Cheng's so-called reasonableness was.

Ji Cheng clapped his hands, and Sophia behind him. Green hurriedly took out a roll of drawings from his briefcase, he reached out to take it, then spread it flat on the coffee table in front of him, and said: "Rockefeller Center is a complex of nineteen commercial buildings, covering an area of twenty-two acres, in Midtown Manhattan, presumably everyone knows this." ”

"Hmm."

"Yes."

Everyone responded softly.

Ji Cheng continued, "From 48th Street to 51st Street, Rockefeller Center occupies three blocks from east to west, north-south, from Fifth Avenue to Seventh Avenue, and occupies three longitudinal blocks. What's more, in Manhattan, New York, where every inch of land is expensive, this alone is enough to sell it for more than $1.5 billion, do you think what I said is reasonable? ”

"It's a bit of a point, but it's not worth 1.5 billion." Jotaro Takagi shares the worries of the chairman.

Ji Cheng did not refute him, but nodded with a smile, and continued: "The activity area enclosed by the Rockefeller Center building has also opened a new style of urban planning for the operation of public space, and the complete shopping malls and office buildings have made Midtown the second downtown of New York after Wall Street, this mini small city can accommodate 250,000 people a day for work, sightseeing, and consumption, and it is not worth it to buy a city center in New York for only 1.6 billion US dollars?" ”

In fact, everyone understands this truth.

But after hearing Ji Cheng's boasting, everyone has an idea in their hearts that it seems that spending 1.6 billion yuan to buy Rockefeller Center is not too expensive, after all, buying Rockefeller Center is equivalent to owning the center of New York City, and 250,000 people a day for work, sightseeing, and consumption is also a huge amount, which is worthy of $1.6 billion to acquire.

But this is only a theoretical number, and in practice it is impossible to actually have 250,000 people per day.

Jotaro Takagi continued to speak for Tadao Iwasaki: "It's still not worth it." ”

Masayita Masayuki and Sozo Horita are a little suspicious, although what Ji Cheng said is a little exciting, but it seems that Mitsubishi Group can't come up with 1.6 billion, is it possible that the prestigious Ji Cheng is so level? If that were the case, they would have been a little disappointed.

But the next series of words Ji Cheng said let everyone on the scene know why he was able to rise rapidly in just a few months!

Of course, Ji Cheng also knew that what he said just now could not impress Mitsubishi, and the reason why he said that was because it was for the sake of foreshadowing, otherwise he would throw out a killer feature all of a sudden, and others would not have that sense of shock.

"Well, that's probably not enough, but what if I talk about rent?"

Ji Cheng said unhurriedly: "Today, the rent per square foot of Rockefeller Center is about $35 to $40, but I believe your company should have predicted that in five years, the rent per square foot of Rockefeller Center will reach $75, and ten years later, it will reach $100, isn't such a huge profit worth $1.6 billion?" If the rent reaches $75 per square foot, the $1.6 billion your company spends may only pay back in five years, and when it rises to $100 per square foot, your company will make a lot of money! ”

This data is not made up by him, but it is the most accurate data obtained from the modern world to collect the Rockefeller Center acquired by Mitsubishi Land.

Then...... In other words, the current time and space of the current Mitsubishi Land Office has long predicted the future rental growth of Rockefeller Center, which is exactly what Ji Cheng just said about seventy-five dollars a square foot in five years and a hundred dollars per square foot in ten years.

Of course, this is only an internal forecast of Mitsubishi Land.

In fact, from the time Mitsubishi Land bought Rockefeller Center until Mitsubishi Land sold Rockefeller Center again, the rent was only $38 to $40 per square foot.

None of this is true.

What's the matter, this prediction is a trade secret within Mitsubishi Estate, but now it has been said by Ji Cheng!

This is equivalent to revealing all the hole cards of Mitsubishi Ground!

Takagi Jotaro and Minoru Makihara's faces changed suddenly, they never thought that Ji Cheng would know the hole cards of Mitsubishi Place!

Tadao Iwasaki, who had been calm before, also turned a little ugly for the first time, this is Mitsubishi Estate's hole card, they predict that the Rockefeller Center will have such a big profit in the next few years, if other real estate companies know that the future profits of the acquisition of the Rockefeller Center are so huge, they will definitely be ahead of them!

If it were any other time, they might be able to hold on a bit, but next to them sat the head of the Sumitomo Group, Sozo Horita!

Tadao Iwasaki, Jotaro Takagi, and Minoru Makihara, the three high-level executives of the Mitsubishi chaebol, could think with their toes that if they played Tai Chi tactics with Ji Cheng at this time, Ji Chengyi would definitely receive an offer from Sumitomo when he left this house!

Ji Cheng just said a few words, and Mitsubishi fell into passivity!

The current Mitsubishi Group will either immediately negotiate with Ji Cheng to buy the Rockefeller Center, or let him go, and then there may never be a chance to buy the Rockefeller Center in the future!

Tadao Iwasaki, Jotaro Takagi and Minoru Makihara felt the pressure multiply.

In fact, their feeling was right, because Masayita Masayuki and Zhuangsan Horita, who were sitting next to them, were all thrilled after hearing such a huge profit, and they couldn't wait to pull Ji Cheng out of here immediately, and then carefully discuss the possibility of Sumitomo Real Estate acquiring Rockefeller Center!

There is no way back from the Mitsubishi Group!

No one expected Ji Cheng to be so ruthless, and he came up and took out the biggest hole card of Mitsubishi Place!
