Nanaya's request was not excessive, and Tanaka immediately agreed to it.
After all, this deal is so huge that if it succeeds, he doesn't have to do business anymore.
Soon, with the help of Washimine's driver, Nanaya and his three companions arrived at the villa mentioned by Tanaka.
With Tanaka's introduction, Nanaya and the other two passed the community security check and entered the community.
"Is it necessary to go through so much trouble?"
It was Nanaya's first time entering the community and he was scanned from head to toe with a metal detector, which lowered his expectations for the community a lot.
"After all, we are not the owners."
Tanaka smiled bitterly and said, "If you buy a house here, Mr. Kiryu, you can enter the community at will."
"I thought you were going to say you wanted an access card or something."
"Haha." Tanaka replied with a smile, "Let me put it this way, if there is a security guard here who doesn't even recognize the owners of his own community or recognizes them incorrectly, then he doesn't even need to go back to his hometown, he can just live in Tokyo Bay nearby."
"Is that so..."
Perhaps because it reminded her of the memory of being threatened by Shion to be thrown into Tokyo Bay, Nanaya was not particularly interested in Tanaka's self-proclaimed humorous joke.
But if it is really as Tanaka said, then this place is indeed very safe. At least there shouldn't be any annoying paparazzi.
Although this residential area is called a community, Nanaya feels that it has completely exceeded the concept of a community. After all, it is full of villas, and each villa has its own architectural style and various gardens.
Not to mention anything else, the appearance alone is enough to make Nanaya drool.
"It's not far from the city, but I didn't expect it to be so quiet."
In response to Nanaya's question, Tanaka smiled and explained, "It's like this. Because it's close to the Meiji Shrine, the developments here are all scenic areas, so naturally it won't be too crowded."
"Of course, this place is also very close to the city. It takes only 10 minutes to drive to Yurakucho, the commercial district."
When Nanaya heard what Tanaka said, her eyes lit up, because Lin Bao's office building was in Yurakucho.
[Then can I turn on the loudspeaker towards the Linbao Building and hide at home before Kiritsugu comes to arrest me? ]
Five hundred and sixty ways to trick Kiritsugu immediately emerged in Nanaya's mind.
When the car stopped at Tanaka's request, Nanaya couldn't help but take a deep breath.
Although the photos looked very good, it was common in the real estate industry for official photos to be as beautiful as paintings. However, the villa in front of Nanaya gave him a feeling that it was even more beautiful than the photos.
Both the exquisite garden and the three-story house left a very good impression on Nanaya.
Although this house is much smaller than the Ryutani family's large manor, Nanaya believes that this villa is not inferior to the Ryutani family in terms of exquisiteness.
The only thing that makes Nanaya a little entangled is that the exterior design of the house also has a European style. If he modifies the interior himself, then in order to maintain the consistency of style, the exterior will also need to be modified.
While Nanaya was still struggling with these small problems, everyone, led by Tanaka, had already walked through the garden and into the villa.
If the outside had surprised Nanaya, then the inside made him like it even more, especially the living room behind the entrance. The spacious design made Nanaya almost think he had come to the lecture hall of a hotel.
"That's great. This place can be used as a small movie theater."
Nanaya stood in the middle of the living room and said after looking around.
"As long as you like it." Tanaka replied with a smile.
Nanaya originally wanted to inquire about the original owner of the house. He wanted to know whether anyone had ever lived in this house.
But before he could say anything, Shiki popped his head out from the second floor.
"This room on the second floor is great! Can I use it as my room?"
Nanaya put his hands on his waist and said dissatisfiedly: "I'm not ready to buy it yet, and even if I want to buy it, it has nothing to do with you!"
Shiki smiled and said, "What does it matter? We are all brothers and sisters from the same sect, so we should be as close as a family."
"Don't try that!"
But Shiki made a face at Nanaya, then ran off to explore other parts of the villa.
Nanaya was not in the mood to play around like Shiki. He took Ori and followed Tanaka to visit all the rooms in the villa one by one.
During this period, Ori also asked Tanaka questions about the function of the room and decoration materials from time to time, and Tanaka answered them one by one.
While browsing the villa, Nanaya discovered that the overall decoration style of the house was mainly brown, with a strong European and Chinese aristocratic flavor.
But it does not make people feel too luxurious and cumbersome. Even people like Nanaya who don't like Western decoration style very much are gradually brainwashed while browsing the villa and come up with the idea of retaining the original style.
According to Tanaka, the original owner of the villa went to Europe to hire a designer who, while ensuring a unified decoration style, gave each room its own characteristics.
While making people feel pleasing to the eye, it does not cause visual fatigue due to the same style.
Although Nanaya knew that many of Tanaka's words were exaggerated, from what he saw in front of him, this villa still made him very excited.
The only thing that made Nanaya feel regretful was the platform that could be used as a swimming pool. Although it did allow one to see the sea, it was only a little bit and the angle was very limited.
Moreover, Nanaya couldn't tell whether that place was Tokyo Bay or a river in the bay.
In short, forget about the infinity pool that Tanaka mentioned.
Of course, there is no problem with ordinary family swimming pools, but Nanaya feels that this is completely unnecessary. After all, maintaining a swimming pool is very troublesome in itself.
It took Nanaya half an hour to finally finish looking at all the rooms.
Finally, after they returned to the living room, Nanaya asked Tanaka, "Mr. Tanaka, has anyone lived in this house?"
"No, the seller left the country halfway through the renovation because of some problems. After the renovation was completed, the seller only sent people to come and maintain the house regularly, but they have not lived in it yet."
Tanaka's words made Nanaya nod slightly. He was still very satisfied with the house itself.
Of course, the price of 6.2 billion is indeed a bit high. If you want to buy it, you won't have to sell everything you have, but you will definitely have to put most of your fortune into it.
"How about this, Tanaka." Nanaya decided to bargain for the price, "Tell the seller that I'm offering 4.5 billion."
"I see."
Tanaka nodded vigorously. After all, he was just a middleman, so he didn't care whether the seller could accept the price or not.
Nanaya also didn't think that the mysterious seller could accept this price.
But they ask for a high price and then pay a low price.
Anyway, you won't lose money by bargaining for a little bit, and you won't lose a thing by trying it.
So a negotiation about the villa began.
Nanaya stayed in Japan temporarily because of this matter, and also supervised the post-production progress of "UBW".
By the way, Shiki's good days of leisure are over, and Nanaya has taken both her and Yoshinaga Yukari out to film.
Relying on her teacher's relationship, Nanaya asked Tamari to bring them both to the period drama crew.
It just so happens that these two young ladies have a very noble aura, and they are very suitable to play the role of beauties in kimonos.
Coupled with their current popularity in Japan, it should be no problem for them to play important supporting female roles in period dramas.
By the way, Nanaya was also able to develop the acting skills of the two of them.
You should know that period dramas, as an important part of Japanese TV dramas, are the type of TV dramas that require the highest acting skills.
There are even some old monsters at the national treasure level. Nanaya believes that it will be very beneficial for the two of them to participate in more of these plays.
As for the negotiation of the villa, the communication between Nanaya and the mysterious seller was not pleasant. The price was stuck after it reached 5.5 billion.
Nanaya hoped that the price would be lower so that taxes and other things would be easier to deal with, but the seller refused to give in.
So the two sides were stuck there, forcing Tanaka to keep running back and forth.
Nanaya doesn't want to miss this house, and the seller is afraid of missing out on Nanaya as a buyer.
After all, such high-end villas are not cheap. After seven nights in this village, who knows if there will be such a shop again.
In fact, after returning that day, Nanaya asked Washimine's people to investigate the identity of the seller of the house.
The result he got surprised him a little bit. The current owner of the house turned out to be a senior executive of Sony.
Sony is currently at a critical juncture of regime change.
Sony's new CEO Howard Stringer, also the company's first foreign leader, took office at Sony headquarters in June this year.
Everyone at Sony had high expectations for this CEO who turned around Sony Columbia's dire situation, but Nanaya knew that the greater the expectations, the greater the disappointment.
This American is good at the entertainment industry, but not at all in other fields.
When Howard Stringer was finally fired in 2012, the reason given by the board of directors was that Sony had suffered losses for four consecutive years.
But Nanaya just eats other people's melons.
In this life, he is a member of the Washimine faction, and Nanaya certainly hopes that Sony, Washimine's old rival, will be as miserable as possible.
However, since Howard Stringer, an American, is coming to the headquarters, Columbia, as an important department of Sony, naturally needs a trustworthy person to look after it.
It was under such circumstances that the owner of the villa was transferred to North America.
This makes the villa a bit embarrassing for the original owner, after all, he is not in Japan, but the cost of maintaining the house is not low.
If Sony was at its peak in the last century, Sony executives certainly wouldn't mind this little money.
But Sony's situation has not been very good in the past two years, otherwise the xenophobic Japanese would not have placed their hopes on a foreigner.
For the senior executive who owns the villa, although he is not unaffordable to maintain the house, he still feels a little uncomfortable about spending money on a house he has never lived in.
It would be fine if he just went to the United States to work for a year or two, but the current situation is that he cannot come back in the short term.
Instead of maintaining a house, it is more practical to sell it and buy a new house in North America.
After learning about this situation, Nanaya was no longer in a hurry.
Let's talk slowly. It's such a wonderful thing that he, a man from Washimine, can make the top executives of Sony bow their heads.
Of course, he had no intention of communicating directly with the other party without going through Tanaka as an intermediary, as that would ruin his reputation.
Just as Nanaya and the Sony people were arguing, Kyon knocked on the door of his office.
