Chapter 353: The Golden Hoe

The Gulfstream commercial airplane that Masayoshi Kishimoto and his party were traveling on landed smoothly on a runway at Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport.

Taxiing from fast to slow, the captain on top of the airplane finally obeyed the tower’s command and stopped at a designated tarmac.

After the cabin door was opened by the stewardess, the people on board walked off the plane one after another. They were able to leave through the VIP channel exit of the T2 terminal.

At this time, the person in charge of the Hard Gold Group’s office in Hangzhou had arranged everything early. The black Mercedes Benz car was waiting for a long time.

“Warmly welcome Chairman Kishimoto to Hangzhou, China.” Li Yan, the Japanese translation teacher of Zhejiang University, expressed a welcome with a smile on her face.

“Thank you.” Masayoshi Kishimoto replied succinctly.

After a brief exchange of pleasantries between the two sides, Masayoshi Kishimoto walked out of the Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport’s waiting hall surrounded by the front and back.

He and Yamada Mirai got into the main car. The rest of the people got into other cars. The first car started, followed by the other cars one by one. The caravan headed directly for the five-star hotel in downtown Hangzhou.

Masayoshi Kishimoto sat in the backseat of the car, looking out through the glass window at the scenery along the way. Since Hangzhou Xiaoshan International Airport’s location was not too remote, it was only 27 kilometers away from the city center.

The scenery along the way made Masayoshi Kishimoto feel the vigorous economic momentum. The hot spot for investment was in mainland China.

“President, there will be some changes to your set itinerary. The vice mayor in charge of the economy in Hangzhou, China wants to meet with you, have a talk, and do a little more of the landlord’s favor.” Yamada Mirai said in a serious manner after receiving a phone call.

“I don’t have such an arrangement in my private schedule! I didn’t plan to meet with the main local government officials this time.” Masayoshi Kishimoto disagreed with the suddenness of the matter.

“Those were the words conveyed to me by the head of our Hangzhou office. What he meant to say was that the government side is particularly impressed with your first visit. The officials of the South and the Northeast are completely different.

The former belongs to the proactive approach of looking for an investor to invest in a project, while the latter is where the investor needs to go and proactively beg the officials. The current Hangzhou government officials are basically that one is a practical faction.

This wants to be promoted, then you have to come up with real achievements. What is the real performance? The city’s economy to get up, increase employment, improve people’s income and living standards.

In particular, they attach great importance to attracting investment. They have received the most accurate information that our Hard Gold Construction, a subsidiary of the Hard Gold Group, has succeeded in winning the old city redevelopment plan for the whole of Roppongi, Tokyo.

They hope that they can learn and absorb advanced things from us in terms of municipal construction. You are also one of the newest plutocrats in Japan, so you are given extra attention.

As for the purpose, in my opinion, it is nothing more than you being able to play a certain leading role, which in turn will allow more Japanese capital to flow into Hangzhou to participate in the local economic investment and construction.” Yamada Mirai said in a serious manner.

Kishimoto Justice thought for a moment and a smile appeared on his face. He wasn’t that kind of smug smile, but one that saw an opportunity.

Hangzhou’s real estate industry had begun to rise in the year 2000, but it was not as exaggerated as it was in the latter twenty years.

If you remember correctly. This good location of commercial housing, a square meter to be able to sell one, 200,000 yuan a square meter.

In his previous life happened in Hangzhou nanny arson case, that one of the house is up to 180,000 yuan a square meter.

The current investment in this place of real estate projects, is the most sensible decision. This is bound to be able to make their own earn a lot of money in the future.

Now, others have sent the golden hoe in front of themselves. If you don’t go and take it, aren’t you the biggest fool under the sky?

“Since Chairman you are unwilling to meet, then I will lie that you are not feeling well as a reason to politely refuse?” Seeing that he was silent, Yamada Mirai solicited a solution and said.

“No, no, I am bound to meet. Not only do I have to meet, but if I can, I can immediately sign a letter of intent with the local government for the relevant real estate development project.”

Masayoshi Kishimoto was well aware that real estate development projects, no matter which country in the world they were in, that one had to deal with the government.

“President, please think twice. As far as I know, land in mainland China is not a life-long license, but only a seventy-year right of use.

After seventy years, the house won’t be yours anymore. Isn’t this equivalent to spending a large sum of money to directly rent the house for seventy years?

This carries on the development of real estate projects, and then sells the commercial houses to the people who need them, so will they buy them?” Although Yamada Mirai knew some of China’s actual national conditions, it was not deep enough.

“You’re really overthinking it. The reason why the Chinese government had a limit of seventy years in the first place was so that they could change it if there were any changes in the future.

Even after seventy years, the contract can still be renewed! Another seventy years. How many ordinary homes in this world can last more than one hundred and forty years?

The Chinese have a much greater thirst for houses than the Japanese. It’s a popular saying in China that if a man doesn’t have a house, a woman won’t marry him.

In China, if a man wants to get a wife, he must have a house. Furthermore, buying a house in China is not only for one person, but also for the whole family.

That is to say, if you want to buy a house, not only your parents will give you money, but also your grandparents will give you money.

The house is the top priority of Chinese people, and it is related to the succession of generations. As long as they don’t buy a house, they won’t settle down.

If you live in any big city in China, if you don’t have a house, you are not a local, but a foreigner. Even if your ancestors have been born and raised here for three generations, you are not really a local.

This outsider status is a discriminatory term inside China’s big cities. Therefore, one of the reasons why housing prices in big cities will remain high in China in the future is because of this.

Chinese people’s houses are not only for living, not only for the so-called investment, but also more importantly for a social identity.” Masayoshi Kishimoto spoke eloquently.

Yamada Mirai was completely dumbfounded. In Japan, it was a common phenomenon for young people to rent an apartment. Even after getting married, it was normal for them to still rent an apartment.

Even if a couple had children, there were many people who rented for the rest of their lives. Even if a couple buys a house, it is mainly the couple that pays for it.

Both parents have very limited, if any, sponsorship. It was even more unlikely to happen that grandparents would still take out a large sum of money to buy a house for their grandchildren without compensation.
