National Tide 1980.

Ning Weimin thought that Gao Qiaozhi's words just now might be an exaggeration, so he clarified, "Takahashi, I understand your wish to take over Chixia smoothly. It's normal that you don't want the store employees to leave because of a change of employer. But you also asked me not to contact these former employees anymore and to quit this industry completely. Isn't this a bit too much?"

"Haha, how could this be possible?"

Takahashi Oshinori tilted his head and stared at Ning Weimin with a playful look and chuckled.

"I paid 10 billion yen to buy your store. This price is obviously more than double the value of Chixia, and you should be aware of this. Is it too much for me to make such a small request?"

Perhaps it was because Takahashi Oshinori was too confident in his wealth and thought that money could buy everything. He really didn't take Ning Weimin seriously at all. His words were obviously full of a condescending sense of superiority.

However, for Ning Weimin, even if he wanted to compromise and accommodate the other party, he had his own bottom line.

Seeing the other party being so arrogant, he couldn't help but get annoyed, so he threw a hard nail at the other party without any courtesy.

"Of course it's too much. Because Chixia means more to me than just a nightclub. Besides, you insisted on buying my store. Whether you offer 10 billion yen or more, you have been forcing me to make this deal. Let me tell you this, although I can sell the store to you, I will definitely open a new store in Ginza..."

Ning Weimin's words also made Takahashi Oshinori's face suddenly change.

"What? Are you kidding me?"

Then he slammed the table and said in a very domineering manner, "You have to know that this is not a contract of two or three million yen, but a transaction of tens of billions of yen. Am I paying you so much money just to buy an empty shell from you? I'm not a fool, how can I have no constraints on your behavior! Wouldn't that mean I get nothing and throw the money into the gutter for nothing?"

Ning Weimin, however, was different from the hot-tempered and arrogant Takahashi Osawa. He still maintained his good manners and explained calmly.

"I have no intention of poaching your employees, and I will certainly not take the initiative to contact my employees and ask them to leave with me. But if someone doesn't trust you as their new employer and insists on leaving, can I be blamed? In fact, whether you can retain people depends on you. If I were you, I would increase the salary after taking over Chixia to stabilize people's hearts. This should not be difficult for you, right? As for opening a new store, I'm very sorry, I have my own difficulties. Because the Ginza Club has extra meaning to my career. If I follow your request, I will not be able to open a new store once I sell Chixia, so even if I get 10 billion yen, it will not be enough to make up for my losses. I hope you understand this. Of course, I will definitely not open a new store near Chixia, everything can be done according to the rules of Ginza."

But even so, such an explanation is of no help to some stubborn people.

In Takahashi Oshinori's opinion, Ning Weimin's words were just an excuse to blackmail him.

"President Ning, you are going too far! It's as if 10 billion yen is nothing? If you just run your business honestly, you won't be able to make that much money in ten years, right? Don't be too greedy! Otherwise, you might get nothing, or even lose something."

Takahashi Oshinori spoke very angrily, his face became extremely gloomy, and he even began to use threatening means.

Judging from his expression, he was 100% sure that Ning Weimin was a greedy and despicable person.

But it's no wonder. According to the general thinking of people, it is really hard to imagine that Chixia can have any additional functions besides earning operating profits.

So Ning Weimin sighed, and couldn't help but feel a little headache about this transaction that had no basis in mutual trust.

"Believe it or not, I have no intention of asking for more money. I am telling the truth. I need to own my own nightclub or club in Ginza so that I can expand my other businesses. If you don't agree, then we will have to cancel the deal we just agreed on."

"Okay, then tell me, what exactly do you need?" Takahashi Oshinori asked with a frown.

"This is a trade secret. I'm sorry I can't reveal it to you." Ning Weimin looked calm but shook his head.

"Hehe! There should be a limit to bragging!"

Takahashi Oshinori sneered again. He held the glass with both hands, as if he wanted to warm the sake in the glass with his hands, but it also seemed like he enjoyed strangling someone's throat, revealing a sense of cruelty.

"All I know is that you clearly promised me just now, but now you want to go back on your word. This doesn't make sense. Contracts are not as arbitrary as you think. You have to do what you promised. Otherwise, you will regret it. I'm not trying to scare you. If you still want to continue your cooperation with Yamato Kanko, then you should honestly meet my requirements."

The threat in the words was already very clear, which naturally made Ning Weimin feel disgusted, and he immediately argued with reason.

"We just made a verbal agreement. I didn't sign a contract with you or take your deposit. I have the right to regret it. As for whether I am bragging or not, I don't need to prove anything to you. You don't need to threaten me. If you don't want to cooperate, just don't cooperate. This may be better for both of us."

He was too lazy to maintain his composure anymore and felt more and more that there was no need to be nice to the other party.

Now Takahashi Oshinori really felt that it was a bit boring.

"What do you want? Just tell me straight out. How much money do you want to satisfy me? How much money do you want to agree to all my requests? Stop beating around the bush!"

Ning Weimin was also annoyed. He had completely lost his patience and was too lazy to use euphemisms, so he just spoke bluntly.

"Why don't you understand? I'll say it again, you completely misunderstood. Don't think that money can buy everything. Some things can't be achieved just by wishing. If you insist on thinking so, you are totally wrong. For example, if I want to buy your secret restaurant and I am willing to pay, according to the conditions you just mentioned, will you sell it?"

"Hey, you? You want to buy my restaurant?"

Takahashi Oshinori didn't know whether he was caught off guard or because he couldn't believe it, he stared at Ning Weimin with wide eyes.

He was stunned for at least several seconds before he seemed to digest the meaning of the words. Then he couldn't help but burst into laughter, as if he had heard the funniest joke in the world.

"Haha, this analogy is so weird. How can I compare my restaurant with your club? How big is your club? Although the revenue data is good and the commercial value is quite high, the real value is only a few billion yen. Both the land and the buildings here belong to me. The entire land is 2,000 square meters. Even though you can't make much money, the beautiful natural resources and unique flavors here are unique. It is a high-quality asset that Japanese nobles are reluctant to give up easily. If you don't have connections, you can't buy it even if you have money. I spent 22 billion yen to buy it two years ago, paying a 30% premium. It should be worth at least 30 billion yen now, right?"

It is obvious that Takahashi Oshinori looks down on Ning Weimin and thinks that he simply cannot have such great financial resources.

What he meant was that even if Ning Weimin wanted to buy it, he couldn't afford it.

However, this time he was caught in a trap. He could not imagine how wealthy Ning Weimin was.

Even from a practical point of view, the assets that Ning Weimin leveraged only two or three times were far healthier and more solid than the assets that he leveraged more than ten times.

"Did you say 30 billion yen? Well, according to the land prices in Tokyo, the average price of Akabane in Kita-ku should be around 1.2 million yen per square meter. The land is indeed worth about 20 billion yen at present. But isn't it a bit exaggerated to count the buildings here as 10 billion yen? But it doesn't matter. You are right. After all, the scenery is beautiful and the unique resources are important. They cannot be bought easily. There should be a premium. How about this, you sell this place to me? If 30 billion is too little, then how about 40 billion? 50 billion is also fine. You see, I am also a generous person, right? Now it depends on whether you are willing to help me..."

What does it mean to repay another person with his own way?

This is!
Ning Weimin had long been fed up with this kid's cowardice, and now he finally got the chance to look down on him, so he followed Takahashi Osaka's example and gave him a price. The room suddenly became quiet, and Takahashi Osaka stopped talking immediately.

The two geishas and Kurishima Sumie were also surprised for a moment.

The atmosphere at the scene was quite subtle, and almost everyone focused their eyes on Ning Weimin in disbelief.

Especially Takahashi Oshinori, he no longer had a joking expression on his face, but was looking at the other person with a serious and cautious look.

"Are you serious? 50 billion yen! Can you afford that much?"

Ning Weimin smiled indifferently, and there was a playful look in his eyes when he looked at Takahashi Osaka.

"It's only 50 billion yen. It's not 500 billion. Maybe there's something you don't know. I also own real estate in Ginza. A restaurant and a small building, the total area is about 200 square meters. With the current value of land in Ginza, you should know that the real estate I own is roughly comparable to your restaurant in value. In addition, I also have a lot of experience in the operation of the catering industry. If I take over here, I am quite sure that I can double the profits here and develop more commercial value from this secret restaurant. So, do you still think I'm kidding you?"

Yes, 50 billion yen sounds like a lot, it's almost equivalent to 400 million US dollars.

Last year, Ning Weimin only managed to raise this much money by taking advantage of "Black Monday" to go to France to "hunt foxes".

But the problem is that quite a while has passed and Ning Weimin's assets invested in Japan are still rising.

Not only did he never make any mistakes in his investments, but he also caught up with the craziest second half of the bubble economy and his rate of return was also extremely amazing. He made a lot of money from it and doubled his initial assets in just half a year.

This number is already reached just by his two properties in Ginza, not to mention the nearly 100 parking lots he owns.

In particular, he doesn't have to go overseas to make transactions. He is in Tokyo, and his financing channels here are extremely convenient.

He only needs to make a phone call and ask Sumitomo Bank for a loan to raise the money.

And he really didn't feel like he was at a disadvantage. After all, this secret restaurant was located in Tokyo and was a scarce tourist resource.

So he was not just bragging to deliberately provoke Takahashi Oshinori, he was also somewhat greedy.

If the other party really dares to sell, he would also dare to buy it, and once he buys it, he will not sell it. This is an asset that can be passed on to his children.

"How about it? If you agree, we can draw up a contract. I can also give you a deposit right away, 5 billion yen is fine."

Ning Weimin urged further. He was in control of the initiative at this moment and had the upper hand over the opponent, which made him feel very happy.

He no longer cares about whether he makes enemies or not.

Anyway, the other party is so unwilling to give him face, even if he is friendly, the other party will only regard him as weak, and if he continues to push his feet, the other party will owe him this.

And Takahashi Oshinori didn't dare to respond at all.

Because at this time, he had begun to believe that Ning Weimin was not joking.

He had managed to get this secret restaurant with great difficulty, and he was afraid that if he opened his mouth again, it would become an ironclad fact.

As for the few women who had been watching in the room, even though they had seen countless men and were knowledgeable, they were still a little shocked at this moment.

Even the female owner of the restaurant, Kurishima Sumie, whose annual income is around 100 million yen and who is a successful person, has never seen a man who buys things like Ning Weimin.

Fifty billion yen, five times the price Takahashi Oshinori offered just now, enough to keep her busy for five hundred years, maybe even enough to launch a coup in Africa...

She never expected that she had been so wrong. She originally thought that Ning Weimin was just a foreigner with a small fortune, and that at most he had a net worth of 10 billion yen.

I didn't expect that he was actually a wealthy man who was no less wealthy than Takahashi Oshinori.

They don't look like him at all, not in terms of temperament...

"It's normal to negotiate terms with give and take, but I didn't realize at first that you are so stubborn. It seems that I have met a strong negotiating opponent. Well, I was wrong in this matter. I was narrow-minded and a little ungrateful. Please forgive me. I am very sorry..."

People tend to bully the weak and fear the strong, and this characteristic is especially evident among the Japanese.

In fact, Takahashi Oshinori has been weighing the pros and cons in his mind.

He is the chosen one of the times, a legend in Tokyo's financial world, and there are very few people in Tokyo whom he can take seriously.

Even the leaders of large conglomerates were the same. In his eyes, they were all a group of corrupt things destined to be destroyed by the great waves of the times.

But he still looked up to Ning Weimin. It was not easy for a Chinese to have such assets in Japan.

He even felt a little confused about Ning Weimin. It was the first time he faced someone who dared to confront him face to face. He felt that there were too many things about this person that he had not figured out yet.

So he thought quickly and didn't want to easily become an enemy, so in addition to apologizing, he also gave in. "How about this, in the transaction regarding Chixia, the part about the prohibition of opening a store that I just mentioned can be cancelled. As for the employees, I will do as you said and increase their salary. But there is one thing I must make clear, Chixia's mama-san must stay and become my person. As a former financial sponsor, you must give up on her completely after taking the money! How about it? Can you promise?"

"Chixia's mama-san? You mean Maria?"

Ning Weimin had no objection to Takahashi Oshinori's previous words, but the last few sentences surprised him and he was stunned.

"Yes, I bought Chixia just for her! I have never seen such a charming mama-san, and she is also a mixed-race beauty. Speaking of which, President Ning, you are really lucky to have gotten her earlier than me..." (End of this chapter)
