Of course, Nanaya did not ask Mr. Tanaka such stupid questions as whether the other party's mother had landed.
Although Japanese surnames have their own characteristics, there are still many people with the surname Tanaka.
Even though the middle-aged man in front of him was a bit fat, Nanaya would not associate him with the fat guy who liked to be fed shit.
"Mr. Kiryu, please come in."
Perhaps because he had known beforehand that Nanaya was a big client, the agent named Tanaka was very polite, not only pulling Nanaya to sit down, but also taking the initiative to order coffee.
Japanese coffee shops have undergone several major changes, and now have become places where people simply drink coffee or do business.
But in the last century, Japanese coffee shops were more of a place for blind dates than for drinking coffee.
Nanaya heard that in the past, coffee shops would give girls free meals and only charge boys in order to attract customers.
Nanaya didn't know what other people thought about this matter. Anyway, when he heard about it for the first time, he just thought that coffee shops were a highly profitable industry and that they could still make money by only charging men.
"Come to think of it, I originally thought that if I failed as a director, I would open a coffee shop next to Tokyo University of the Arts."
Nanaya said something without thinking while drinking the coffee in his hand.
"Ah?"
Tanaka obviously didn't get the point of Nanaya's words. He could only stand there in a daze, not knowing how to respond.
Ori rolled his eyes at Nanaya and said, "If that happens, the teacher will probably tear your head off and use it as a basketball."
"Ori, is your hobby to keep ruining my plans?" Nanaya retorted dissatisfiedly.
In fact, he was not joking about opening a coffee shop.
As the highest-level art school in Japan, Tokyo University of the Arts has many potential students who may become stars or directors.
Especially the directing department, which is the most popular industry. Except for Nanaya who was a poor boy, his other classmates were either second-generation rich or second-generation rich, or at least middle-class with a solid family.
Such people are basically considered rich husbands in the eyes of girls. Nanaya remembered that Shiki had seduced several beautiful girls by relying on his title as a student of the directing department of Tokyo University of the Arts, without even using his title as the son of a Toei shareholder.
Nanaya felt that if he opened a coffee shop in front of the entrance of Tokyo University of the Arts, there would be countless beautiful young ladies applying to be waitresses, and the hourly wage would be very cheap, so cheap that some people might even do the job even if they had to pay for it.
This is the same principle as when coffee shops used girls who were on blind dates to lure men in to spend money there.
When it comes to doing business, mining for gold is never the most profitable. The one who cuts down the bridge over the river in front of the gold mine and uses it to ferry people around is the one who makes the most money.
Of course, Nanaya couldn't say such words, so he could only stare at Ori, while Shiki was concentrating on eating the cake ordered by Tanaka.
For a moment, the four people sitting at the table were silent.
"Haha, Director Kiryu, you are very humorous."
Tanaka forced himself to break the silence and said with an awkward smile: "So about the house, Mr. Kiryu, are you planning to buy a property in Setagaya? Or do you want to choose Roppongi which is closer to Minato-ku?"
Nanaya is no longer the newbie who had just been reincarnated in Japan and whose only knowledge of Tokyo was the Tokyo Tower and Akihabara.
He knew that the two places mentioned by Tanaka were famous wealthy areas in Tokyo, with many villas.
But Nanaya didn't really want to choose those two places.
The main reason is that these two locations are too far away from Nanaya's office in Tokyo.
You have to know that the Tokyo headquarters of [Erque Studio] and Washimine are both in Chiyoda, and Nanaya doesn't want to spend 2 hours on the road to and from get off work.
As the political and economic center of Japan, Tokyo's traffic pressure is no less than that of China's Magic City and Imperial Capital.
In fact, Nanaya could also choose to take the tram, but Nanaya really doesn't like crowding or being squeezed by others.
Besides, a well-known director who lives in a villa has to take the tram to and from get off work. This incident will probably be on the headlines of the paparazzi for at least a month.
Therefore, unless Shion agrees to move the Washimine Building to another urban area, the only house that Nanaya can choose is Chiyoda.
Of course, the villa area close to Chiyoda is also acceptable. According to Nanaya's impression, the houses on the outskirts of the city are usually not very good.
"Mr. Tanaka."
After thinking it over, Nanaya said, "I want to choose a villa in Chiyoda. Do you have any supply?"
This agent introduced by teacher Ryuichi Hanai is very famous in the circle. Nanaya believes that the other party must have a house in Chiyoda.
Tanaka's eyes lit up after hearing Nanaya's words. He said hesitantly, "Chiyoda Ward? Yes, there is, and Mr. Kiryu is a world-class director, so his status is high enough. But as for the price..."
Nanaya was not surprised by the other party's reaction. If Tokyo is the center of Japan, then Chiyoda is the center of Tokyo.
You should know that even the Imperial Palace (the Emperor's residence), the Japanese Diet, the Metropolitan Police Department, the Supreme Court and most of the central administrative units are all located in Chiyoda Ward.
Buying a villa here is as difficult as buying a courtyard house within the second ring road of the imperial capital of China.
It's not that money is the only thing that can't be done, but for those who have the ability to buy a villa here, money is the least important of all the conditions.
Having connections is an important prerequisite for buying a villa in Chiyoda Ward, which is why Nanaya asked his teacher to help him find an agent.
According to Ryuichi Hanai, this seemingly ordinary middle-aged man is a very famous figure in the upper-class circle.
Good reputation, fair prices, and guarantee that there will be no messy things going on with the property.
According to Ryuichi Hanai, if you want to buy a high-end villa in Tokyo, everyone would choose this man.
Therefore, Nanaya said calmly: "Money is not a big problem, as long as Mr. Tanaka has a house that I like."
Nanaya's career has developed rapidly in the past two years. The consecutive success of several movies has made Nanaya a lot of money.
On the other hand, Nanaya doesn't spend a lot of money. It's not that Nanaya doesn't spend money, but he has basically stayed in the crew for the past two years, and the living expenses are all charged to the crew as part of the filming costs.
This left Nanaya with few opportunities to spend his own money.
Because Nanaya is not particularly interested in luxury cars and airplanes.
In Nanaya's eyes, a car is enough for him to get around, and as for something like a private jet, if he wants to ride it, wouldn't he just have to take Shion's plane?
The same goes for houses. Nanaya thinks that it is enough for him to just buy a good house for himself to live in.
As for buying a house for investment, although land is very expensive in Tokyo, housing prices have been rising year after year.
But how can this growth rate be as fast as the entertainment industry? With that much spare money, Nanaya might as well invest his own money in the movie, and then he can ask Shion for more share.
For other people, investing in movies is a very risky business, but for Nanaya it is an industry that pays off as long as you invest.
However, Nanaya's bold words did not make Tanaka have any special reaction. After all, there were too many clients who said they didn't care about money when they were looking at houses, but in the end they were so hesitant that they couldn't even afford a few tens of thousands of yen.
Of course, as an intermediary businessman, basic professional qualities are still present.
Tanaka kept smiling, "So, Mr. Kiryu, what are your requirements for housing?"
"A single-family house with a yard, anything else is fine."
Nanaya answered without even thinking.
"Forehead..."
Nanaya's condition made Mr. Tanaka sweat on his forehead.
This kind of casual client is the most difficult to deal with, because you have no idea whether he is really casual or just saying it.
And the only condition that Nanaya mentioned, that of having a yard, was almost as if it were not mentioned at all.
This is just like asking for soft seats instead of hard seats when buying a car. It is not a condition at all.
"So, Mr. Kiryu," Tanaka wanted to ask, "How much budget have you prepared for buying a house?"
"Well..."
Nanaya really had no idea. Although he knew that Chiyoda Ward was extremely expensive, he had no idea how expensive it was.
Of course, no matter how expensive it is, Nanaya can definitely afford it.
Although Nanaya currently only has a few million dollars in cash, the first round of revenue from "Fate" will be credited soon.
According to the accounts that Shion had given him before, Nanaya's cash in hand would immediately exceed the level of tens of millions of US dollars.
By then, as long as the house they buy is not the Imperial Palace, Nanaya believes that ordinary people will still be able to afford it.
Therefore, Nanaya didn't really care about the house price. After all, the procedures for buying a house were so complicated that it would be enough to wait until he had enough money.
So he could only scratch his head apologetically and ask, "Mr. Tanaka, how much budget do you think I should have?"
If Tanaka didn't know that the director really wanted to buy a house, he would have thought that Nanaya was just trying to make fun of him.
"Well... I think if we follow Mr. Kiryu's request, we need to prepare at least 4 billion yen!"
Mr. Tanaka quoted a price.
Four billion yen could buy a big villa in Chiyoda Ward. If the other party could accept this price, Tanaka felt that he still had a chance to make a deal.
Of course, the 4 billion is just the money to buy the house, and taxes, decoration, maintenance and other costs are not included.
"Oh, four billion is enough? Then let's look at the house first."
Nanaya said with a relaxed look that this amount of money was not much for him.
[Fuck, you big dog owner! ]
Tanaka's eyes almost popped out of his head. He only met such a sponsor a few times a year.
"Since Mr. Kiryuu said so, it will be easy."
Tanaka's expression became very excited, and he took out his laptop and introduced it to Nanaya.
"How about this one? It's a three-story villa with a yard and a private swimming pool on the third floor."
"Oh, that's good."
Nanaya's eyes lit up as he looked at the house; he was very excited about the addition of the swimming pool.
Pop.
Ori, who had been silent, put his hand on the screen and said coldly, "This house is totally unacceptable."
"Eh? I think it's good."
Ori ignored Nanaya and stared at Tanaka and said, "I won't talk about the remote location and the land area. The yard of this house is too small. If this man wants to do something private with the female star, people outside will see it at a glance."
Nanaya retorted in dissatisfaction: "Fuck, I was just planning to have a barbecue party in the yard, why do you make it sound like I'm going to have a naked party!"
