Chapter 180: Hidden Costs

At ten o’clock the next morning, Masayoshi Kishimoto arrived at the office premises of Hard Gold Construction accompanied by Mirai Yamada. He formally unveiled the license plate in front of everyone, which meant that not only was Hard Gold Construction officially established, but the Hard Gold Group of Companies was also officially established.

Immediately, the sound of applause rang out. Kishimoto justice waited until everyone finished applauding, is only then took out the secretary Yamada future to write for his own speech, said: “Today is a day worthy of eternal remembrance.

All of you are the witnesses of the Hard Gold Construction Company, and will be experiencing it. Right now, the company is proud of you, and in the future, you will be proud of the company.

Although our Hard Gold Construction Company is a new company just established, it is backed by a big tree, the Hard Gold Group of companies with strong capital.

As the saying goes, it’s good to enjoy the coolness under the big tree. You will work peacefully in Hard Gold Construction Company. The company will not bury anyone’s talent, and will give full play to everyone’s maximum potential.

How much you are willing to give, how much you can get back from it. Every drop of your sweat will not be in vain. ……”

As soon as he finished reading the script in his hands, he was immediately greeted with thunderous applause again. He understood in his heart that it was neither how well the script was written nor how emotional it was read, but that it was all because they believed that this was a strong construction company.

Masayoshi Kishimoto put down the paper in his hand, and received a formal letter of appointment from Mirai Yamada, which was handed over to Katsuhei Yamaguchi’s hands.

Yamaguchi Katsuhei took it with both hands and bowed forty-five degrees to Kishimoto Masayoshi. From this moment on, he officially assumed the position of president of Hard Gold Construction Company.

At that moment, Masayoshi Kishimoto signaled with his right hand for Katsuhei Yamaguchi to come over to his side to say a few words in front of everyone. Since it was the founding ceremony of Hard Gold Construction, the other party, the person in charge, could not be a little transparent.

Yamaguchi Katsuhei took two steps forward, then turned 180 degrees to face his subordinates and said, “I’m grateful to the chairman for trusting me and entrusting me with a heavy responsibility. I can’t let the Chairman down.

I, Yamaguchi Katsuhei, am not a novice in the construction industry. I started in the industry when I was less than sixteen years old. Today, I have thirty years of experience in the industry. The slogan and goal of our company is to build the best houses.

In order to make that slogan and goal a reality, I need you all to join hands with me to create a bright future for our company.”

As he spoke, he bowed sideways toward Masayoshi Kishimoto, and then turned his body again and bowed slightly toward the group as a sign of his respect.

The applause was the third time. Katsuhei Yamaguchi signaled with his right hand that the chairman could move in the direction indicated. He was in the conference room and had prepared a business plan that needed to be explained in person.

Masayoshi Kishimoto and Mirai Yamada entered the conference room and took their seats. As soon as they were seated, freshly brewed tea was brought to them. Inside the conference room, all the curtains were lowered and the slide projector was turned on.

Yamada Mirai took out one by one the notepads and pens that she carried in her handbag at all times, and placed them on the conference table in preparation for taking an important meeting record.

Katsuhei Yamaguchi stood at the front of the room, signaling his assistant to put up the first slide, holding a small infrared flashlight in his right hand.

He pointed the red light from the flashlight at the area delineated on the projected map and said, “Among the three districts of Gangnam in Seoul, I have suggested that the first project to start construction should be in this area of Gangnam District after many field inspections. The construction project is a commercial and residential project.”

He paused here intentionally, once again signaling his assistant to change to the next slide, and then added, “This one is a field photo.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto sat down and looked at the almost empty image at the top of the slide, but was able to see that it would become prosperous in the future.

Since Katsuhei Yamaguchi had taken this piece of land out to explain it in detail, it also meant that the Seoul government would take it out for a public auction.

Justice Kishimoto asked, “How long will the construction period be? How much is the initial investment? Have you done an assessment of the risks involved?”

Yamaguchi Katsuhei replied in a serious manner, “The construction cycle is about two years. The initial investment needs 80 million dollars. This piece of land also belongs to the land prioritized for development by the Seoul government.

Although the transportation is not convenient now, the Seoul government will invest in relevant supporting facilities and infrastructure projects in the future.

With my past experience, it’s worth a try. Only, I reckon that there will be a very fierce scene above the competition for the land at that time.”

“Money is not a problem. Sumitomo Bank has already established a business relationship with us in this one area long ago. The problem is the first shot.

In addition to making Hard Gold Construction’s presence known here, there must be no mistakes in the costing. Since it is an investment, then it must be to make money, absolutely can’t be a loss to earn a lot of money.

As long as we can make the initial investment above not lose money, we can take the land above this block one by one at a high price.” Justice Kishimoto directly stated his attitude, saying.

“This is only the first phase of the project. My overall plan for the future is to build this one area into a shopping center that integrates commercial and residential, leisure, entertainment, and dining.

The commercial properties will be sold directly at once. As for the stores, it will be done in the form of renting them out and collecting rent.” Yamaguchi Katsuhei said seriously.

Masayoshi Kishimoto and could not be unclear that a commercial store in a busy area being sold off was not a good method. Maximizing profit was in leasing to collect rent.

It was also possible to sell them off one by one when the price of the land had risen to near its peak. However, all this this is that it has to be made prosperous.

Otherwise, not to mention the houses can not be sold, stores will also be no businessmen to rent. For this reason, he is not very worried, after all, he has the development vision for the future results.

“This piece of land, we do not have to aim to win. Above the alternatives, we must have at least three, five.

The land that everyone wants to grab may not always be a good place. This will inevitably increase some hidden costs in it.

A site that no one wants is not necessarily a bad place. It mainly depends on how we develop and build and advertise in place.” Justice Kishimoto calmly said.

Yamaguchi Katsuhei knew that although the auction of the land was conducted by the government in a fair, just and open manner, there was no guarantee that the actual construction would not encounter problems of one kind or another.

It is necessary to have a good relationship with the local government departments. This is to make good relations naturally will not be empty talk or as relatives can only mention a few pounds of apples like that. In addition, once a jianghu people intervene, also have to have the necessary countermeasures.
