Rebirth: My 80s

There was no one absent from the venue. This should be the largest number of participants in the local auction since the launch of Kyoto's development.

It's not hard to imagine how fierce the competition is.

As in every local auction in the past, the LCD background board on the stage showed a large piece of land, which is the king of land in Kyoto's once-in-a-millennium development.

none of them.

Independent plot number X888.

The auctioneer was frothing on the stage, and the bidding cards underneath were like a game of woodchuck, retracting one after another and popping up again.

In just a few minutes, the price of Land X888 has exceeded the billion mark from the starting price of billion yen.

A few more minutes passed.

The bidding price reached 25 billion yen.

Relatively speaking, the smaller real estate companies on the scene were frightened.

They were all out.

The people still raising placards, without exception, all come from one of the top real estate companies in Japan, and they are all backed by a larger consortium.

Like Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Toyota, Sumitomo, etc.

Although most of the participating bidders have been eliminated, not many people left. Everyone suddenly found that watching the battle was quite enjoyable...

Many people's eyes wandered in two directions.

On the one hand, there is the super dark horse that emerged from Kyoto's large-scale development - Arii House.

Although the industry finds it incredible that houses with wells can get such huge financial support, people are still able to come up with the money.

You know, for every local auction like this, capital verification must be carried out in advance and a high deposit must be paid.

If you fail to pay after acquiring the land, the deposit will not be refunded.

So no one who comes here is here to be funny.

So far, no sign has been raised for houses with wells.

If they had just seen this company at a local auction in Kyoto, the people present might have laughed at them and scared them out of their wits.

Now, no one has such an idea.

This dark horse has a habit of "shooting last", that is, letting others bid first, and only participating in the battle after most of the bidders have been eliminated.

On the other side is the Seibu Group.

They didn't raise a card either.

However, today, the boss of the Seibu Group and the legendary Japanese businessman Yoshiaki Tsutsumi was personally present, which shows that he attaches great importance to this piece of land and cannot just come to join in the fun.

Everyone is wondering, when will these two parties take action?

The behavior of Ariei House and Seibu Group also made the representatives of several large companies who were still bidding feel like they had a thorn in their backs.

At this time, they started searching, and with a tacit understanding, they started to raise the placards at the lowest bidding price one at a time, taking the trouble to do so.

Suddenly, someone noticed that Tsutsumi Yoshiaki made a move and gave something to the female secretary beside him.

Swish!

Seibu Group raised its sign, causing a stir.

The price is raised and the amount shown on the bidding board is——

Thirty billion yen.

Hey!

People were horrified, but not surprised when they thought about it.

After all, this is Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.

The representatives of several large companies who had just bid harmoniously showed wry smiles. After all, there was no chance of luck...

Thirty billion yen, equivalent to about 120 million U.S. dollars.

These days, many small countries in the third world do not have such large foreign exchange reserves. It is worth mentioning that the Japanese yen is currently one of the most popular currencies internationally.

Such a huge sum of money was only used to purchase a piece of land.

the price is too high.

"The Seibu Group offered 30 billion, is there anything higher?"

The auctioneer looked around the audience with bulging eyes as if he had been given a shot of blood.

Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Toyota, Sumitomo... did not raise their placards again.

As expected of Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, people secretly smacked their lips, and if they didn't take action, it would be enough, and once they did, it would be the final word.

Some people think that the battle may not be over yet... These people all looked at the Aoi House delegation:

"Do they dare to take action?"

"It's 30 billion. Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is good at developing comprehensive real estate projects, and he has accumulated brand effect. If others take it, not to mention losing money, when will the capital be recovered?"

"Today's event is different. Unlike those big consortium bosses who hide behind the scenes, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki is present in person. I personally think that Tsuruta Nakamura does not have the guts to challenge Tsutsumi Yoshiaki."

"Depending on the situation, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi is determined to win this land. If Tsuruta Nakamura really wants to take action, he is just looking for abuse..."

"Look, look, the sign is raised!"

Hey!

The eyes of everyone present were instantly focused on the Aoi House delegation.

They did raise their signs.

As always, take your time and add the minimum limit.

"How dare you..."

"Don't they have to pay back the money they borrowed? How many Ari-i House Co., Ltd. can you buy with 30 billion?"

"I'm very curious about what the international bank behind Tsuruta Nakamura and the big financier who supports him think, do they trust him so much? It's obvious that he hasn't developed any big projects, and the only one who encountered an earthquake... …”

...

The scene was noisy. It was no longer like a high-end local auction but more like a vegetable market.

On the Seibu Group side, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi frowned slightly. He should be the only one in the audience, still sitting on the soft chair, not squinting.

Three days ago, he didn't even know Tsuruta Nakamura...

In the past, this person was very different from him in terms of status and status, and was not on the same level at all. For a person like him who has so many things to do, it's normal for him not to pay attention.

Later we bumped into each other at the Prince Hotel in Kyoto.

The entourage reminded him to pay attention to the other party and told him in detail about the big noise caused by Tsuruta Nakamura and Arii House Co., Ltd. in the land auction of Kyoto's large-scale development.

He also said that houses with wells may become their main competitors on land No. X888.

Frankly speaking, even so, Tsutsumi Yoshiaki still didn't take it too seriously.

Because he couldn't smell danger in Tsuruta Nakamura, he noticed the way the man looked at him, like... how should I put it, like a groupie looking at an idol.

A person who puts himself in this position and at that height can be described as harmless to humans and animals.

But it was the young man standing with Tsuruta Nakamura that day that Yoshiaki Tsutsumi couldn't see through.

The identity of the other party informed by the assistant was: a supervisor sent by Hong Kong City Overseas Trust Bank.

Just a small bank supervisor?

Now, a harmless guy suddenly showed his fangs to him, which made Yoshiaki Tsutsumi feel a little uncomfortable.

"Application for suspension." He said to the female secretary next to him.

The latter immediately stood up, taking advantage of the five-minute pause allowed to each delegation.

No one at the scene was surprised, this was Tsutsumi Yoshiaki.

An extremely rigorous person.

Naturally, he does not need to... similar to calling someone outside the venue to explain the situation to someone and ask for instructions.

Some people stood up and looked around to see what he was doing.

At this moment, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi already had an extra piece of information in his hand.

What is recorded on it is a detailed report on every land auction conducted so far in Kyoto's development.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi browsed quickly, with big bags under his eyes, and only paused briefly when he mentioned Arii House Co., Ltd.

Five minutes is not a long time.

Surprisingly, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi flipped through a thick piece of information in just one second.

While he was flipping through the information, he was probably counting time in his mind at the same time.

This is a man as sophisticated as a machine.

rustling...

Tsutsumi Yoshiaki’s female secretary wrote the bidding amount on the bidding sign and raised the sign:

31.245 billion.

Hey!

Not to mention the one-time price of 1.145 billion.

There are actually zeros and integers...

Almost everyone at the scene looked puzzled, not understanding the meaning of such a number.

How did Tsutsumi Yoshiaki arrive at this number?

If this number is called, will the house with a well be defeated?

Except Li Jiankun and Tsuruda Nakamura.

The latter turned his head in surprise, with a look of horror in his eyes.

When he came to the Convention and Exhibition Center this morning, in the car, Tsuruta Nakamura discussed with his boss what might happen at the auction, such as at what price their biggest competitor, the Westinghouse Group, would compete with them.

The boss said that 31.2 billion is a hurdle...

Oh my god, Tsuruta Nakamura thought to himself, can these people tell fortunes?

This is not fortune-telling. No matter which piece of land there is, it has a value. For example, although Li Jiankun wants to win the current plot X888, he will not do it regardless of the cost. If it costs billion US dollars, can he get it?

He also had a price in mind.

Tsutsumi Yoshiaki also has it.

Li Jiankun is not as trustworthy as Tsutsumi Yoshiaki and analyzes his opponents on the spot. Before this, he has browsed a large amount of information, including and not limited to Seibu Group's latest financial report, details of recent land acquisitions, and Tsutsumi Yoshiaki's personal preferences. , habits...etc.

Then combine this land.

A lot of thinking and analysis was done.

He thought that if his side bid up to 31.2 billion, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi would be very uncomfortable...

Tsutsumi Yoshiaki is a ruthless person. In order not to make himself uncomfortable, he simply bid the price himself first...

And in order to prevent others from finding out the clues, I even made a complete and complete plan...

It's just bluffing, isn't it?

In fact, he just looked through the information for five minutes, and he didn't even analyze it.

It is impossible to analyze the bidding rules of houses with wells, because no matter what kind of opponent they meet at any auction, houses with wells always increase the minimum bid without any haste. So far, they have not backed down. …

Swish!

The representative of Youjing House once again raised his bidding sign.

Or add 100 million yen.

The noise at the scene was even worse.

No one noticed that Yoshiaki Tsutsumi's eyelids twitched.

He thought that the other party didn't even hesitate, let alone use the right to pause. It seemed that he had a lot of potential...

Have they actually prepared so much money?

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi clenched his fists, feeling a little angry and regretful.

Underestimating the enemy.

There was no systematic investigation beforehand, so relying solely on the information brought by the assistant was not enough to judge the financial status and psychological value of the house with a well.

"There are 31.245 billion houses with wells! Is there anything higher?"

On the stage, the auctioneer shouted at the top of his voice, looking excited.

He doesn't care who wins.

This price set a new record in his auction career.

It will be a noble and beautiful addition to his resume.

All eyes at the scene fell on Yoshiaki Tsutsumi.

The female secretary turned sideways and looked at him with wide eyes. The dignified Seibu Group would be ashamed if it lost to such a company... which was at least somewhat famous in the real estate industry.

Unfortunately, the boss gave no further instructions.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi gave up.

Because of underestimating the enemy, information was lost.

He never fights an uncertain battle.

"Thirty-two hundred and forty-five million, the third time!"

"Boom!"

"Deal! Congratulations to Arii House Co., Ltd. for successfully bidding on Lot X888 for a price of billion."

blind!

The whole hall was in an uproar.

The dignified Seibu Group, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi came personally, but was defeated and eliminated...

The house with a well won again.

Can anyone still cure them?

swoosh...

Just like every time he took a photo of the Earth King, Tsuruta Nakamura stood up first, followed by others around him.

The Youjing house bidding group left the venue immediately after achieving their goal.

It's not about being cool.

I simply don’t want to wait until the end of the show to have the news spread and be besieged by reporters asking questions about the source of funds.

Tsuruta Nakamura has already come forward to explain.

As the saying goes, if you talk too much, you will miss the mark, and this level is just right——

Everyone knows a little about the source of funds of Arii House Co., Ltd., but they are not particularly clear about it. They are confused and confused, as if they are looking for flowers in the fog.

Yoshiaki Tsutsumi finally turned his head - he and the Seibu Group delegation were seated very close to the front.

He stared at the group of people from the Arii House delegation, with heavy bags under his eyes, looking back and forth at Tsuruta Nakamura and Li Jiankun...

……

……

Ding Dong!

Zhang Gui, who trotted forward and opened the door, saw a hotel staff standing outside the door through the peephole.

With a click, the door opened.

"Hello."

This was the floor manager. He bowed in greeting and then presented an invitation card with both hands.

After Zhang Gui took it, he also bowed slightly, following local customs, but he really couldn't achieve the same craftsmanship as the other party...

The king of heaven and earth, master and master, must occupy one.

Click.

The door closes.

"Boss, this is an invitation." Zhang Gui opened it and looked at it, but couldn't understand anything at all.

He handed it to Li Jiankun.

Li Jiankun said to himself, as if I could understand. But I am somewhat confused, who will send him the invitation?

In the underworld?

Otherwise, on the white road, he is just a bank supervisor...

Zhang Fuzheng wanted to go to Hetian Zhongcun, but he didn't agree and said that Cao Cao would be there soon.

Tsuruta Nakamura rang the bell and walked into the room. He also held an invitation in his hand. The style was exactly the same as the one in Li Jiankun's hand.

Li Jiankun frowned and asked, "Have any of us received invitations?"

Tsuruta Nakamura shook his head: "It's just the two of us."

It’s broken... Li Jiankun thought to himself.

Tsuruta Nakamura said with a touch of excitement: "This is an invitation from Tsutsumi Yoshiaki, inviting you and me to have dinner together in the private room on the second floor tonight."

That would be even worse...

Li Jiankun frowned. His earlier thoughts might have been a bit fanciful.

There is no shortage of smart people in this world. Even Takei Yasuo, the dead ghost, can see that there is something fishy between his and Tsuruta Nakamura's identities.

How could Yoshiaki Tsutsumi, who had also had close contact, not see it?

He and Tsuruta Nakamura can no longer stay together. God knows who they will meet next time...

He has to hide behind the scenes, and he cannot make the same mistake a third time...

The question now is, what should Yoshiaki Tsutsumi do?

This guy is a hundred times more difficult to deal with than Yasuo Takei...

"You don't want to go to the banquet?" Tsuruta Nakamura stared at him and asked.

"No, go."

You can't hide. Let's see what Yoshiaki Tsutsumi says first, Li Jiankun thought.

Sending out invitations, at least seems... harmless.
