Reborn Tokyo Golden Age

The most conspicuous thing about Watanabe Electric is its factory building facing the Tama River, but because of years of wind and sun, the gray and white walls look worn out.

On the opposite side of the Tama River is the Yuki District of Kawasaki City. Thanks to the gradual relocation of the manufacturing industry in the past two years, Kawasaki's status has also been steadily improved.

The Tama River, which leads directly to the sea and is only adjacent to Kawasaki Port, is now far less clean than later generations due to pollution from manufacturing industries.

But even so, there are still white motorboats wandering on the wide river.

On the side close to Ota District, in addition to the workshop building, Watanabe Electric also has a small building with two or three floors connected to the factory building.

This is where Issei Watanabe's office is located, and it is also where non-workshop employees of Watanabe Electric work.

Bai Chuanfeng followed Watanabe Issei to the top floor of the small building, and here was the president's private office.

A lot of attention was paid to both the decoration and the layout. Kazumasa Watanabe knocked on the door, and then turned the doorknob without waiting for a response from inside.

Entering the door, the first thing that catches the eye is a mahogany long low table with several single sofas on both sides.

On the right is the president's desk, and on the wall behind is a pair of calligraphy and paintings, with the words "Xiu De" written on it.

There are various old photos hanging under the calligraphy and painting, which are probably the development history of Watanabe Denki.

And behind the desk is the old president Takashi Watanabe who had a relationship last time. At this moment, he is lying on the wheelchair with his eyes closed.

Compared with the old president who was still there last time, Takashi Watanabe is already very old at this time. The hair that was gray at the beginning is now only white.

His cheeks were sunken because of his thinness. If he hadn't seen the slightly undulating chest, Bai Chuanfeng would have thought that the person opposite him had already lost his vitality.

Seeing Takashi Watanabe's withered and withered appearance, Bai Chuanfeng couldn't bear it, but he quickly threw away this sympathy.

People who have lived for decades have spent more time in shopping malls than their age, and no one is easy to get along with.

Kazumasa Watanabe walked up to Takashi Watanabe carefully, and called out in a low voice, "Father, Shirakawa-san has arrived."

The skinny Takashi Watanabe opened his eyes, and his sharp gaze flashed past, causing Kazumasa Watanabe who was close to him to shrink back subconsciously.

With the help of his son Watanabe Issei, Takashi Watanabe straightened his body with difficulty. Compared to last time, his actions seemed to be more difficult.

Panting, Takashi Watanabe waved his hand, "Okay, you can go out."

Watanabe Kazumasa was stunned, looking at his father puzzled.

"Get out!" Although Takashi Watanabe's voice was not loud, there was no doubt in his tone that Kazumasa Watanabe left here obediently.

In the past, every time Takashi Watanabe participated in an important meeting in the company, he would bring Kazumasa Watanabe with him and let him attend as a non-voting observer.

He hopes that under the influence of his ears and eyes, he can improve his son's management ability, understand the daily operation of the company, and prepare for the future takeover.

Unfortunately..., these will not be used in the future.

Takashi Watanabe put away his feelings, he looked at the handsome young man opposite, and sighed slightly. The same age group, but very different.

"Bai Chuan-kun, I can call you that."

Bai Chuanfeng bowed slightly, "Please go ahead."

"Watanabe Electric has been established for almost 20 years. At first we only made cartridges for vinyl record players. Our customers also cover a quarter of all RB large and small record player brands.

Later, gradually Watanabe Electric was able to do more and more, and finally had the current Blackstone phonograph.

In the blink of an eye, almost twenty years have passed. Takashi Watanabe looked at the old photos on the wall, his voice was old and hoarse.

Bai Chuanfeng listened silently, this is a lonely king remembering his rough and tortuous life.

No matter what capacity he is speaking in, even if he is a later negotiating opponent, he deserves this respect.

After rambling on for a long time, Takashi Watanabe ended his nostalgia with a sigh.

"Sorry, I'm getting old, so I talk too much." Takashi Watanabe smiled and nodded to Bai Chuanfeng.

"You are welcome. After listening to Watanabe-san's introduction, the younger generation admires Watanabe Electric even more." This is what he said in his heart. It takes a long time for a company to grow from scratch.

Especially in the 1950s and 1960s, when the RB industry was almost built on ruins.

"Since we're talking about this, Bai Chuan-kun, let's get straight to the point. Watanabe Denki is going to be sold, what is the price of Bai Chuan-kun?"

When he said the word "sell", Takashi Watanabe, who had already been firm in his heart, still paused slightly.

If it wasn't for the crumbling signboard of the Blackstone jukebox, if it wasn't for Changyin's people pressing every step of the way, if it wasn't for his son kneeling in front of him and begging last night.

Takashi Watanabe will never let Watanabe Electric end up in his own hands, even if its profits go from bad to worse.

But industry is industry after all, and industry is what he has worked hard in his life.

Even though the financial industry is gradually rising and more and more people are joining it, Takashi Watanabe has always been in love with industry from the beginning to the end.

What a pity, what a pity...

But now that he has made a decision, he no longer hesitates, and Takashi Watanabe directly asks the question.

As if he had let go of the burden in his heart, he calmly waited for Bai Chuanfeng's quotation.

From the infinite emotion just now to the calmness now, Bai Chuanfeng had to sigh, ginger is still old and spicy.

Now that it has started, Bai Chuanfeng cheered up, and he slowly stretched out two fingers, "Twenty million yen."

Takashi Watanabe shook his head, and he stretched out three fingers.

"Watanabe-san, you know it's impossible." This price was too much for Bai Chuanfeng.

Takashi Watanabe said unhurriedly, "Mr. Shirakawa, you need to know. Watanabe Denki's assets include this land. And it's also a residential land."

This piece of land can be regarded as an asset accumulated by the Watanabe family for several generations. The original grandparents were just hawkers selling fish near the Tama River.

It took decades of hard work to integrate the surrounding fragmented plots together, forming the scale it is today.

RB's land ownership is permanent and valid. If you buy it, it will belong to you forever, and it can be passed down as a family property.

"But Watanabe-san, this is Ota City. There are too many factories around, and there are not even decent apartments, let alone businesses.

What I value more is Watanabe Denki's decades of industrial foundation and experienced employees. "

The reason why Bai Chuanfeng asked for 20 million yuan was actually because of the two to three hundred square meters of land.

It's just that he said this on purpose to downplay the value of the land.

As for the small factory building, Takashi Watanabe didn't mention it, neither did Bai Chuanfeng.

Because everyone knows that real estate is not worth much at all, let alone a decades-old house.

However, there are many types of real estate, such as commercial land, residential land, quasi-industrial land, and industrial land, and the value decreases in order.

It is not yet 80 years, and the bubble is far from coming. The average land price in the 23 districts of Tokyo is less than 300,000 yen per square meter.

The most expensive central area and the vicinity of the port area are only five hundred thousand yen, and the remote Adachi area and Edogawa area are less than two hundred thousand yen.

And the outermost Ota District, because it is the farthest from the center of the capital, and there are a large number of factories and manufacturing industries, the land price is even lower.

Twenty million is almost the valuation of Bai Chuanfeng's two to three hundred square meters of land.

Takashi Watanabe closed his eyes slightly, and took a meaningful look at Bai Chuanfeng, "Mr. Bai Chuan, you and I both know that there will not be a large number of factories and enterprises here in the future.

Mr. Bai Chuan must have known about the "Capital Circle Maintenance Plan" that was just updated last year. "

Hearing these words, Bai Chuanfeng's face became hot. He knew that his little thoughts had been seen through by the other party.

The 1978 "Capital Area Consolidation Plan" has clearly stated that in the next few years, it will gradually move out of the intensive manufacturing industry within the Tokyo metropolitan area, and only retain precision R\u0026D enterprises.

Then the current factories and enterprises relocate, and the land left behind will naturally be re-planned, and there is a high probability that it will become commercial land.

The land here at Watanabe Electric is residential land, and Shirakawa Feng will go to the outskirts of Tokyo to build factories at that time.

But for this piece of residential land, with the blessing of business, the price will go up without even thinking about it.

"Twenty-five million, Bai Chuan-kun must understand that it is worth the price." Takashi Watanabe asked the price for the last time, and then he closed his eyes and waited for Bai Chuanfeng's reply.

If it weren't for the urgent need for cash now, and if he wasn't sure when the government would implement the factory relocation plan, Takashi Watanabe would never have done this loss-making business.

"Okay, deal!" After a little hesitation, Bai Chuanfeng agreed to the price.

Now that everyone has talked about it, everyone knows the value of the land. No matter how much you bargain, you can't cut much, so there is no need to haggle over the millions.

"Mr. Bai Chuan is a person who can do great things." Seeing that Bai Chuan Feng had made up his mind in such a short period of time, Takashi Watanabe's eyes flashed with appreciation.

Seeing that Takashi Watanabe wanted to call Kazumasa Watanabe outside, Bai Chuanfeng stopped him, "Would you like to hear another quotation from me, Watanabe-san?"

"Huh?" Watanabe Takashi showed a surprised expression on his face.
