Zongman: I became the Prime Minister in the world of science

‘In the store, Fujiwara Toru followed Kisaki Eri and Tsuzuki Shifune to the store manager’s office.

The old lady rarely smiled, and at first glance, she was a serious person who was used to being a leader.

Tsuzuki Shifune asked the store staff to bring tea to the two of them. She was concise and to the point, without any pretense, and said directly:

“Fujiwara-kun, as you can see, this store is located in the bustling area of Ikebukuro, next to the Ikebukuro subway station, which is absolutely a prime location”

“So I won’t make any concessions on the price. Two floors in total, one price of 1 billion yen!”

Tsuzuki Shifune said with great momentum, with an attitude of never backing down.

Fujiwara Toru was calm about these so-called negotiation momentums. He smiled and said,”It’s a very reasonable price. This store is in a prime location, just as you said, Ms. Tsuzuki.”

“But I have read your request. You want to pay in cash, not even wait for a bank loan.”

“One billion yen is equivalent to 7 million US dollars. This price is not low. Except for those large companies with funds in their accounts, few people can directly take it out.”

“It’s no problem for me to spend 1 billion yen in cash to buy this store, but I need Ms. Tsuzuki to do me a favor.”

Tsuzuki Shifune frowned and asked,”What is it?””

“It’s very simple. Our actual transaction price is 1 billion yen, but the contract requires 1.5 billion yen.”

“As long as you agree, we can sign the contract today and the $7 million will be in your account tomorrow.

“The contract says 1.5 billion?”

Tsuzuki Shifune was puzzled.

Generally speaking, people hope that the price on the contract is lower than the actual price, in order to avoid taxes.

And if the contract price is higher than the actual price, there are generally only a few reasons, such as money laundering or kickbacks!

Just as Tsuzuki Shifune hesitated, Fujiwara Toru continued:”Ms. Tsuzuki, your Tsuzuki Company is now facing tremendous financial pressure. The bank’s repayment time is almost up, right?”

“If we wait until the bank comes to force the auction, this shop will definitely not be sold at such a high price, and the price may even be cut in half.”

“If you sell it to me at this price now, you only need to share a small amount of responsibility, then you will not only be able to pay off the bank debt of Tsuzuki Company, but also have enough margin to regroup.”

Hiki Eri had already told him about Tsuzuki Shifune’s situation before.

As a lawyer hired by Fujiwara Toru, Kisaki Eri would naturally give priority to the client’s requirements.

Tsuzuki Company, like most of Japan’s private enterprises, is small in scale but has a long history. It was founded by Tsuzuki Shifune’s father. Tsuzuki Shifune inherited her father’s business, and this old lady was also rebellious when she was young and liked to play in a rock band.

So when she was young, she used her family’s assets to buy this store, and has been running projects related to the band, which can be regarded as satisfying her nostalgia and memories of her youth.

However, recently, Tsuzuki Company has encountered some troubles, its capital chain is stretched, and the bank loan deadline has arrived, and it urgently needs capital injection.

Tsuzuki Shifune had no choice but to prepare to sell this store to raise funds.

Compared with the memories of her girlhood, the family business is more important.

Tsuzuki Shifune was a little unwilling, she said:”This store has always been profitable, and it is impossible for you to find a better one than it. Fujiwara Toru shook his head and said,”

Ms. Tsuzuki, you misunderstood one thing. I don’t really care about the location.”

“What I really care about is that as long as there are people selling their shops, it’s fine. There are so many shops on this street, there will always be some owners who are not doing well and are willing to sell their shops.”

“I can wait, and there are many options, but Ms. Tsuzuki, you can’t wait any longer. If you want to find the next person who can pay such a large amount of cash, you may not be able to wait.”

At this time, Hibiki Eri also said:”Ms. Tsuzuki, don’t worry, I will avoid all risks from the legal perspective.”

This is the role of top lawyers.

Just like top accountants have the ability to help you legally avoid taxes, top lawyers will use legal means to make many gray things reasonable and compliant, at least not illegal.

Hibiki Eri’s words made Tsuzuki Shifune completely lose resistance.

She sighed:”I believe in Ms. Hibiki Eri, as the ‘undefeated queen’ of the Japanese legal world, your words are trustworthy.”

Hibiki Eri smiled confidently:”Ms. Tsuzuki, you are too kind, I am just doing my job.”

Hibiki Eri didn’t know why Fujiwara Toru wanted to make such a big difference between the contract and the actual funds.

But she wouldn’t ask, all she had to do was to meet the needs of customers, make this matter reasonable and compliant, and prevent others from finding legal loopholes.

Tsuzuki Shifune finally said:”There is another request, I hope Fujiwara-kun, as the new owner of this store, will not fire those employees.”

Fujiwara Toru smiled and said,”As long as they are competent for the job, I will not fire them at will.”

“OK, I have signed this contract. According to the contract, Fujiwara-kun, you must transfer the funds to me tomorrow.”

“Please rest assured about this. Since the contract has been signed, it is protected by law.”

As they spoke, both parties read the contract, and Tsuzuki Shifune also called his lawyer to confirm that there was no problem with the terms before both parties signed the contract.

This shop was not funded by Fujiwara Toru himself, nor by the Fujiwara family, but would be reimbursed by the CIA as a liaison office in Neon.

So Fujiwara Toru filled in an extra 500 million yen, which not only facilitated the internal accounting of the CIA, but also allowed him to keep the extra money for himself.

In the past, Fujiwara Toru had only secretly saved more than 5 million US dollars, and he mainly lived in the United States. There were some things he could not do too much.

For example, when he was destroying drug cartels in South America, he even saw hundreds of millions of US dollars in cash.

But that money was really not… Otherwise, his official identity would leave a huge black spot and handle. He could only keep a small part, and most of it had to be handed over.

In addition, the IRS (U.S. Internal Revenue Service) is omnipotent. If you have extra money but don’t pay taxes for no reason, those people will definitely come after you.

Fujiwara Toru didn’t want to provoke the IRS, so although he lived a luxurious life in America, he didn’t actually have much savings.

Now that he has left America and run to Japan, of course he has to find a way to make more money for himself and prepare for his retirement.

There is indeed no problem in inheriting the Fujiwara family, but that means you have to accept benefits from others and do things for them.

Only things that belong to you can be used freely anywhere.

‘I only have over 5 million dollars in cash, and I still have a shortfall of 2 million dollars.’

‘Even if this account is reported, it will take some time for the CIA to conduct an internal review, and I have to take out seven million dollars tomorrow. ‘

Where can I get these two million dollars?

It is easy to borrow from the Fujiwara family, but Fujiwara Toru now does not want to owe the Fujiwara family too many favors.

After thinking about it, Fujiwara Toru took out his mobile phone and sent a message to Vermouth: Dear, lend me two million dollars.

As a famous Hollywood movie star and actress, although Vermouth has a lot of expenses, she is also very good at making money and is a wealthy woman!

Not long after, Vermouth replied to the message: Send me the bank card account number.

Sister Bei is generous. She didn’t even ask me what I was going to do with the money. She gave it directly. She is worthy of being the number one sister on the list!

Otherwise, I’d better be a gigolo and eat soft rice!

After signing the contract, this store no longer belongs to Tsuzuki Poetry Ship, and the other party has no intention of staying for long, so he said goodbye directly.

Kissing Eri pushed the glasses on the bridge of her nose and said to Fujiwara Toru:

“Come on, Fujiwara-kun, to celebrate the two big orders you gave me, I will treat you to a meal. I will ask my daughter to come as well, so that she can get to know Fujiwara-kun, a young and promising person like you.”

Hiki Eri also took great pains for her daughter’s future, letting her meet more people and have more social resources.

Xiaolan’s academic performance is not particularly ideal, it can only be said to be average. Does she really have to rely on her detective father who is just idling around in the future? In that case, Xiaolan’s best friend Suzuki Sonoko is not as reliable as her!

Therefore, only her mother, who is a lawyer, can come to help.
