Japanese big things

"Dacheng-san, look here..."

The real estate agent stood on the balcony, pointed at the environment outside, and introduced it enthusiastically.

“The surrounding transportation is very convenient, and it’s very close to Ginza and Roppongi. If you want to go out for a bit of fun at night, you can get there in less than ten minutes.”

"Although there are no large shopping malls nearby, there are many convenience stores and small markets. It is very convenient for life and can definitely meet daily needs."

"At the same time, since there are no large shopping malls, the environment here is relatively quiet and very suitable for living."

Shoji Ojo walked slowly to the balcony and scanned the surrounding environment attentively. Indeed, as the other party said, this apartment building has many advantages.

Located at Akasaka 6-chome, although it does not face the street, it is only separated by an alleyway of less than 100 meters, so traveling is quite convenient.

The surrounding supporting facilities are naturally relatively complete. After all, this is Akasaka in Minato City: if the supporting facilities here are not complete, then there must be more problems elsewhere.

The only drawbacks are probably the parking problem and housing prices. Since there is no attached parking lot, if you want to park, you need to park in an open-air parking lot a little further away.

For Masahiro Nakamura, who has no desire to buy a car, this is not a big problem. After all, once a new movie project is launched, he will basically stay on the set and will have no time to come back.

In the future, you can either hire a full-time driver or buy a new residence.

As for housing prices, if the housing prices in Akasaka, Minato-ku are not expensive, it would be a bit disappointing given its central location.

Of course, you can definitely bargain appropriately. Although the real estate agent recommended by a friend is definitely reliable, buying a house is not buying groceries after all, and it is normal for price disputes to arise.

"Dacheng-san, if you buy this apartment building in full, the price can be reduced appropriately."

The real estate agent saw Oshiro Shoji looking thoughtful, so he took the initiative to persuade, not forgetting to add specific details.

"The landlord is a club president in Kansai. He has also encountered business problems with the club recently, so he is eager to sell this apartment building."

"The entire apartment building has 13 floors, of which the underground floor is a warehouse and security staff dormitories, and there are 12 floors above ground."

"There are 6 households on each floor from the 1st floor to the 9th floor, and half of them have been rented out. If Dacheng-san is unwilling to rent it out, I can help take it back..."

"Above 10 floors, there are only 4 households on each floor. Compared with the units downstairs, the space above will be larger."

"In addition, the security measures here are also very good, and there are people on duty 24 hours a day..."

"The owner of each floor can only go to the designated floor by taking the elevator. There will be no problem of arriving at the wrong floor, which can fully protect the privacy of the owners."

"Buying a property here is absolutely great value. If the president in Kansai hadn't had to sell it due to business problems, it would have been difficult to find such a suitable location."

Shoji Oshiro walked around the room and looked carefully. The exquisite decoration looked very new. It should have been renovated not long ago.

The midday sun shines in and scatters into the room through the floor-to-ceiling windows. The mottled light forms a picture of light and shadow.

There is no scorching heat, and the breeze that blows in fills the room, and a sense of comfort permeates the room.

"I need to discuss it with Nakamura-san, and you can lower the price a little bit."

Oshiro Shoji glanced at the eloquent real estate agent and said to him with some consideration.

"This is a transaction for a building, not a house. I think the president in Kansai also wants to sell out as soon as possible and get the funds back so that he can solve the club's operating problems, right?"

"Although there are many potential home buyers in Tokyo, there are probably only a few customers who can afford to buy an apartment building. There are probably not many who are willing to pay a lump sum..."

The real estate agent frowned and was making calculations in his mind. Because the president in Kansai urgently needed to sell, the price quoted for the apartment building was actually not high.

It's not impossible if we continue to lower the price. I'm afraid that if someone doesn't sell it or mortgages it to a bank, then the business may be wiped out.

Although Oshiro-san is the assistant of supervisor Masahiro Nakamura, and the introducer is also a big shot in the entertainment industry, it seems not cost-effective to offend the president in Kansai.

However, the president of Kansai is in urgent need of recovering funds, so maybe there is a possibility of price reduction?

No matter, let’s call and ask first. What if the president in Kansai is willing to reduce the price?

"Okay, Dacheng-san, please wait a moment and I'll try to ask..."

"Then I'm sorry to trouble you."

Oshiro Shoji said politely, then watched the other party walk to the balcony, and then took his mobile phone and made a call.

In less than five minutes, the real estate agent ended the call and returned to Shoji Ojo.

"Ojo-san, if you can pay the full amount at one time, the price can indeed be reduced appropriately. However, the premise is that you and Director Nakamura confirm that you want to buy..."

"Don't worry, even if you don't believe me, you still have to trust Director Nakamura, right?"

Oshiro Shoji raised his eyebrows, slightly dissatisfied with the real estate agent's questioning. However, considering the transaction amount of this business, it is not incomprehensible.

After all, the transaction capital of an apartment building is at least several billion yen, and there is no room for sloppiness.

"Hi, of course I trust..."

The real estate agent nodded repeatedly and agreed with a smile on his face. Of course he was also willing to believe Ojo Shoji and Supervisor Nakamura, just for cautious confirmation.

After exchanging a few words, Oshiro Shoji and the real estate agent went downstairs together. The two agreed on the next time to view the house, and then said goodbye.

In fact, Ojo Shoji is quite satisfied with this apartment building: the surrounding environment is good, the supporting facilities are complete, and it is close to the office.

This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Except for the disadvantage that the price is a bit high, other problems seem to be negligible.

From a certain perspective, price seems to be relative: when you have no money, being expensive is a disadvantage; when you are rich, being expensive is an advantage.

However, Masahiro Nakamura still needs to come over to confirm whether to purchase this apartment building.

After all, the cost this time was not a small amount. Even though Masahiro Nakamura had authorized it to Shoji Ojo, he felt a little guilty.

For the vast majority of ordinary people in Japan, more than ten million is a huge amount of money, let alone a transaction involving billions of yen.

"Nakamura-san, would you like to think about it again?"

After a brief report, Oshiro Shoji hesitated for a moment, and then reminded Nakamura Masahiro in a thoughtful tone.

"If you buy an apartment building, there won't be much money left in the firm's account."

According to the information possessed by Shoji Oshiro, in addition to the box office share of the movie "One Long Day", the funds on the firm's account mainly come from the sales of copyrights in Europe and the United States.

In addition, there are sales shares and copyright income from movie singles. Coupled with sporadic other income, there will definitely be enough funds to buy an apartment building.

However, once the money is spent, the firm will not have much funds in a short period of time.

"Uh... I remember, I seem to have been invited to appear in some commercials, right?"

Nakamura Masahiro rubbed his chin and asked Ojo Shoji a question with a thoughtful look on his face.

"There are some, but I haven't picked up yet..."

After Shoji Oshiro answered truthfully, he looked at Masahiro Nakamura in surprise and said, "What? Are you planning to accept an advertisement and star in it?"

The original advertiser wanted to invite Masahiro Nakamura to direct. After all, he is a famous director who won the Silver Bear Award at the Berlin Film Festival.

But as Nakamura Masahiro's popularity and influence skyrocketed, they gradually changed their minds and tried to invite Nakamura Masahiro to appear.

However, Nakamura Masahiro has been putting it on hold and has not given positive feedback, so those advertisers cannot figure out Nakamura Masahiro's thoughts.

Shoji Oshiro also thought that Masahiro Nakamura was not very interested. After all, there were not many famous supervisors willing to appear in commercials.

Well, Takeshi Kitano definitely doesn't count. His job is as a comedian, and appearing in commercials is the norm.

"Didn't you say that the firm doesn't have much funds left..."

Nakamura Masahiro revealed his inner thoughts: "Then choose to star in some commercials, and you can always make some money back."

The main way to make money in the Japanese entertainment industry is to appear in various commercials: not only is the work easy, but the pay is generous.

As for starring in movies and TV series, you actually don’t make much money, it’s mainly to increase your visibility and popularity.

For example, the popular actress Yoshitaka Yuriko, who is currently popular, ranks first in salary, surpassing Haruka Ayase and others. Her salary is only more than 2 million yen, which is equivalent to RMB 180,000.

After deducting the commission from the firm and deducting taxes and other components, Yoshitaka Yuriko may not get even half of it.

"Okay, I'll take a look at those invitations and screen them carefully for you..."

Since Masahiro Nakamura plans to supplement the agency's account funds by appearing in commercials, Shoji Oshiro naturally has no objections.

He originally agreed with Nakamura Masahiro's appearance in commercials: on the one hand, he could earn generous remuneration, and on the other hand, he could maintain good relationships with all parties.

After all, not only advertisers had objections to Nakamura Masahiro's shelving of appearing in commercials, but Dentsu also had objections.

"Don't worry, we can deal with it later..."

Nakamura Masahiro stopped Oshiro Shoji and switched the topic to the preparation of the new film project.

"I want to know how the preliminary preparations for "Model Student" are going?"

Because he was busy with editing work before, Nakamura Masahiro didn't pay much attention to the preparations for "Model Student", so he was not particularly clear about the specific details.

"The preliminary location scouting work went quite smoothly. According to your composition, the shooting location was decided on the Kamakura side of Kanagawa."

Oshiro Shoji organized his words a little, and then answered Nakamura Masahiro's questions in an orderly manner.

"It's very close to Tokyo and the transportation is very convenient. The local schools will also provide us with assistance..."
