Chapter 145: Buying Land

If you are considering buying land, it stands to reason that the first thing to consider should be the choice of a new plant for Shirakawa Electric.

However, if a new plant is built, it will only be outside of Tokyo. And the area is definitely not the size it is now, it is likely to increase tenfold.

The new factory is prepared for the expansion of Walkman production and CD players in the future, and there will definitely be more production lines.

If calculated in this way, the required funds will be a huge amount of money.

Although Shirakawa Electric has gained a wave of fat, it is still far from a new plant if it wants to build a new plant, even if it is not enough to add a loan.

Therefore, according to the current fund calculation, it is still possible to pick a piece of land for Shirakawa Electric's internal research institute.

And the place must be within the 23rd ward of Tokyo, after all, places like research institutes are basically for high-end talents.

Speaking of the research institute, Shirakawa Kaede initially planned to separate it and operate it as a subsidiary.

And in order to attract high-end talents, a certain share option pool will also be set up.

For those special talents, ultra-high-end talents, ordinary high salaries can no longer attract them, only the shares of the institute can interest them.

To build such a research institute, all aspects must be taken into account.

You can't pick a wilderness and throw it there. If the supporting facilities can't keep up, they can't attract talents.

So if you're buying land now, let's go to Tokyo and have a look. As for where to buy, Shirakawa Kaede feels that he will not lose money if he buys anywhere.

Before the bubble, I bought it with my eyes closed, and it was all blood.

"Nakata-san, please take care of me."

"Shirakawa-san, it's my honor to serve you."

Shirakawa Kaede shook hands with a middle-aged man in a suit in front of him, who was an account manager at Nomura Real Estate.

Since you want to buy land, of course, you have to find a reliable and well-known company, and there may not be many people who know about Nomura Real Estate.

However, many people must have heard of the name of Nomura Securities, which is the largest brokerage in Japan and has strong financial strength.

There are countless subsidiaries under the group's name, and Nomura Real Estate is one of them.

As for why Shirakawa Kaede found Uenomura Real Estate, it was actually recommended by the senior of the Keio Group.

When discussing the next Walkman promotion with Keio Department Store, he accidentally talked about the need to buy land, and Toshio Yamamoto recommended the Nakata-san in front of him for him.

"Shirakawa-san, according to the needs of your company, we have specially selected this property near Daikanyama in Shibuya for you. Please follow me..."

Saying that, Nakata has taken Shirakawa Kaede straight to the destination, and Nomura Real Estate's service is very thoughtful.

First of all, the lot is selected according to the customer's needs, and then after selecting a few places, the relevant details will be sent to the customer.

If the customer is interested, the site visit. Today, Shirakawa Kaede is here for a field trip, but the land they are looking at now is a bit special.

"Shirakawa-kun, please be safe." Nakata thoughtfully handed the helmet to Kaede Shirakawa.

said that it was to buy land, but it was really a piece of land that was half-flawed.

The reason why it is described as half-body is because the land in front of them is in a state of stagnation of development.

To put it bluntly, it is a construction site that has been half-built and then stopped.

Bare foundations, half-built walls, steel stretched across and upright, and sun-drenched green screens.

"Nakata-san, take the liberty of asking why this land is half developed, and then stop work."

Wearing a hard hat, Kaede Shirakawa began to learn about the history of the land while looking at the surrounding environment.

Nakata hesitated, but then explained, "Originally, there was a bowling alley here.

It's just that the original owner's investment failed, and in the end, the land was mortgaged to Nomura. ”

Nakata was embarrassed to say that the original owner took out a loan from their Nomura Securities, and then entrusted Nomura to invest in oil futures.

As a result, I didn't expect to encounter an oil crisis in the first two years, and I lost a lot of money with interest.

So half of the bowling alley was built, and it was put on hold. Eventually, the land also fell into the hands of Nomura Real Estate.

"But rest assured, Shirakawa-san has absolutely no problem with land ownership.

It is also very suitable for the requirements of your society, and it is close to the bustling neighborhood.

It's only three kilometers from Harajuku Street, one kilometer east of the Ebisu neighborhood, and a five-minute walk from the subway station, so it's definitely great value for money. ”

The location is a good location, and Shirakawa Kaede is still very satisfied with this.

Don't look at the surrounding development now, but in a few years, it will be different.

The only trouble is that there is no real estate on this piece of land, which cannot be immediately used as office space for the institute.

Even if you want to build it yourself, you have to demolish all the construction sites that are now half built and start all over again.

Not to mention the waste of time, there is an additional expense.

"Nakata-san, let's talk about the price."

When Nakata heard this, he quickly leaned forward slightly to show respect, "The total land area is 242 tsubo (about 800 square meters), and considering the current special situation, the unit price of land can be discounted to 1.98 million yen per square meter. ”

Shirakawa Kaede roughly calculated, and the unit price of land is about 600,000 yen per square meter, which is really not expensive.

The average land price in Tokyo is 300,000 yen, but that is the average land price in remote areas such as Ota Ward and Adachi Ward.

The most prosperous districts of Chuo and Chiyoda have more than one million unit prices, more than three times the average.

Therefore, located in Shibuya, it is not expensive to get a piece of land near Daikanyama for 600,000 yen.

With a land area of 800 square meters, it is more than enough to build a research institute or branch.

To build a ten-story building, the construction area alone is several thousand square meters, which is enough.

"Nakata-san, I don't have a problem with the plot, but this construction site..."Shirakawa Kaede felt that it was very troublesome to redevelop the land that had been half built.

"Rest assured, we at Nomura Real Estate offer a full range of services. From design to construction, to final decoration, there is no need to worry about Shirakawa-san at all.

We will also have a certain discount on the price to compensate for the cost of reconstruction. ”

Nakata added in a timely manner that if you want to say that doing business and only selling hardware, it is a small amount of money.

Selling hardware plus services can maximize profits.

Okay, Nomura's reputation Shirakawa Kaede can still be trusted. In such large companies, sometimes the service is even better than the product itself.

"In this case, this piece of land Shirakawa Electric is wanted, and the design requires that there will be a special person to connect with your company.

As for myself, there is only one request, the sooner the construction starts, the better! ”

"Understood!" Nakata bowed with a good look of reassurance.

Because it is necessary to put it into use as soon as possible, Shirakawa Kaede naturally hopes that it will be as soon as possible.

"By the way, please also ask Nakata-san to help me keep an eye on the resources of real estate." After buying the land, Shirakawa Kaede started the idea of residential land again.

"Property?" Suddenly switching from business land to real estate purchase, Nakata was stunned for a moment before reacting.

Shirakawa Kaede nodded, "That's right, the location is as close to the center of the capital as possible."

Minato-ku, Shibuya, Shinjuku, Bunkyo, Chiyoda, and many more, these places are all available.

As for the specific requirements, try to be a single house. The living facilities are complete, and it would be best to be quiet. ”

Shirakawa Kaede felt that he could also consider buying a house for himself at this time, and since he had money, he would start as soon as possible.

Otherwise, house prices are rising every year, and this year alone is about 9% higher than last year.

It will continue to grow in the next few years, and the increase will be larger and larger, until after 85 years, it will take off directly.

Therefore, not to mention the investment, at least the need to start first.

"Please rest assured that Nomura Real Estate will serve you wholeheartedly." Nakata, who has another business, has an increasingly respectful attitude.

This kind of customer is not bad at first glance, and it must be maintained well in the future.

After shopping for a long time, Shirakawa Feng also became a local tyrant who bought and bought.

800 square meters of land, with a total price of more than 480 million yen, he bought it without blinking.

480 million seems like a lot, but now Shirakawa Electric is paying this money. And it must not be a loss-making investment, so you don't have to think too much.

If it weren't for the construction of the new plant, Shirakawa Kaede would have had an urge to buy all the land.

Real estate can appreciate five times or ten times after a few years, which is really tempting.

To be honest, the rate of return is higher than that of the industry, but fortunately, Shirakawa Kaede knows that the assets of the industry can be inherited, and sometimes it is also a talisman.

It can provide a large number of employed people, and in the eyes of politicians or governments, it is fragrant.

Even sometimes afraid that you will go bankrupt, take the initiative to let the bank lend, tax incentives, and policy subsidies.

In the final analysis, the economy needs the support of industry. Focusing only on finance is like a castle in the air, and sooner or later there will be problems.

After finalizing the contract, Shirakawa Kaede, who spent a sum of money, felt a little more comfortable.

The only way to get the money out is to get another asset. The refreshing feeling in the process gave him a more substantial understanding of his wealth.

After buying the land, the next important thing is the strengthening of Shirakawa Electric's technology research and development capabilities.

Perhaps, it's time to pay a trip to Tokyo Institute of Technology.

Thank you all for your support!
