90 – Investment and Business
With the weather suddenly getting colder, the weather news was talking about what would happen to the college entrance exam cold wave.
We started talking day after day.
They seem to be making a fuss, saying that it has become unusually colder than the previous day.
I couldn’t feel any difference, so I burst into laughter while reading the news.
“Did you see anything interesting?”
“No, I was told it would be much colder than yesterday due to the college entrance exam cold wave.”
“It certainly seems like the temperature is a little lower than yesterday.”
Ara seemed a little cold, so he crossed her arms and stroked her forearms.
As soon as I saw that, I adjusted the temperature of the heater slightly using the central control tablet PC placed next to me.
A slightly warmer wind came out than before.
As the temperature suddenly rose, Ara began to smile, perhaps because it was warm.
“Your sister is okay… Isn’t it hot?”
“I feel warm and happy at this level.”
In fact, her body temperature is so high that she wears short-sleeved shorts at home even in winter.
She was a little hot, but she couldn’t bear to see Ara cold.
Ara endured the cold air conditioner wind for me who gets very hot in the summer.
For Ara, who gets cold a lot in the winter, it is my turn to endure the hot heater.
And it’s not like a heater like this can’t stand it.
Except for something a little dry.
“You can always tell me if it’s hot? Because I hate Seonghwan being hot more than being cold.”
“Are you sure it’s okay?”
Nevertheless, Ara looks worried.
I smiled and lightly stroked his cheek.
“To begin with, when it’s hot, I always say that it’s hot, right? You know I haven’t done that yet, right?”
“Yes… That’s right…”
“Anyway, didn’t you say you had something to say today?”
“Oh, that’s right!”
As if she finally remembered her, Ara turned on the tablet PC that was sitting next to her.
Then, she touched for a while and looked around at something like a PPT material.
As if she had found what she was looking for, she held out her tablet PC to me.
“This is the building my sister is planning to buy. How about this?”
“A building?”
Honestly, I don’t know exactly how much Ara’s profit is.
Many media outlets also speculate that her Ara’s annual profits will reach more than 100 billion won.
When I look at it, I think, ‘Wouldn’t it really come out like that?’ So much so that I want to
Ara has many ways to make money.
Monthly rent from buildings owned in downtown Myeongdong, Jongno, and Apgujeong.
In other areas, she says she is not even sure how much she has.
For reference, there is a rumor that one tenant of a building is paying 300 million won in monthly rent.
This is true.
I heard that the monthly rent for a dermatology clinic that occupies an entire floor is 300 million won.
It is not unusual for Ara to invest in her building.
Ara is quick and has excellent information.
When a good property comes up, you immediately purchase the building or object with cash.
Because she was one of the people who were emerging as an emerging powerhouse.
“There is a cafe, a convenience store, an optical store, and a pharmacy downstairs.”
“Do you know what this building’s nickname is? It’s the Tower of Life.”
“Push….”
Because pediatrics, ophthalmology, otolaryngology, obstetrics and gynecology, orthopedics, and dermatology were all gathered together.
I think it was named the Tower of Life.
There is also a Tteokhani Pharmacy on the first floor.
How on earth does someone come up with a nickname like that?
It seems like a really fun nickname with good sense and fantasy elements.
The tablet PC that Ara handed over contained various contents.
Where is she on each floor, what is she doing, and how much is the deposit?
And looking at the location, for some reason it wasn’t a hot place this time.
It was a building near my house.
“I don’t think there are any vacancies. Isn’t that okay?”
“Really? Is it okay here?”
“I’m not sure, but I don’t think it’ll be bad….”
Of course, I don’t know anything about real estate or anything like that.
When I became independent, the house I lived in with low monthly rent was also designated by the government.
“But why is there a building all of a sudden? Even now, I feel like I’m playing SimCity alone.”
“I feel comfortable because I feel like I’m buying and collecting things one by one.”
Was it because of Ara’s desire to collect buildings that he bought them?
I thought she was doing it for a stable income.
Because you look a little shocked
Ara burst out laughing and started laughing.
“It’s a joke. It’s a joke. Anyway, who would collect buildings?”
“Is that so?”
No matter what.
How many people can use real money as if they were using game money?
You can only see things like that in web novels or webtoons.
“But it’s not like there are completely no vacancies. The top floor is empty.”
The top floor has been expanded.
It was made so that the entire floor could be used.
“I heard that I went there a while ago, and I think there used to be an academy there…”
“I heard the tenant who will come in has been decided?”
“No? My sister is trying to start a business there.”
“Business?”
I tilted my head.
I understand investment, but it’s business.
What kind of business are they trying to do?
I didn’t know that Ara had such a business idea.
If it is a business for ordinary people in love,
There are only restaurants and PC rooms.
Personally, what does dating have to do with PC rooms?
I’m not sure if you’re doing that kind of business.
“My sister wanted to try running a game shop.”
“A game shop? Well… Selling console game software or something…”
“Yes, that’s exactly it. Offline stores are more expensive than online stores, right? My sister, on the other hand, is opening an offline store that is cheaper than online stores.”
He started talking about business ideas one after another that seemed like they would result in huge losses.
We will also sell game consoles and software that have not yet been released in Korea.
It looks like they want to try many different things while displaying limited edition items.
“Will it make money?”
“Well? I’d like to operate in a way that doesn’t result in a loss as much as possible.”
“Then wouldn’t there really be no point in doing business?”
No matter how profitable it is
If you stop at breaking even, can you call it a business?
“Seonghwan is the opposite?”
“No, I think it would be fun too…”
In fact, most offline game shops probably started with a similar idea to Ara.
I thought that I might be able to combine my hobby and income.
There must have been many people who were attracted to the business of ‘game sales’.
“It would be a good idea to buy and sell used items.”
“Really? I was thinking of a shop I saw in Japan too!”
I guess I was happy because I thought about it, because Ara gave me a high five.
I also happily responded to the high five.
“How about using it online as well as offline?”
“Online too?”
“For example, selling used products by uploading them to an online shop.”
“But is it as easy as it sounds?”
“We have an agency, right?”
We may not know how to do it, but the agency will know how to do it.
Didn’t the CEO tell me before to consult him if I have any business to do?
“Ara, don’t you know where to get things from?”
“I know because there is someone who can help with that for cheap.”
“…As expected, connections….”
“And they said they would help with overseas products because there are people with wide feet.”
“We’ve already talked about that part…”
“You’re a bit quick to act, aren’t you?”
Ara’s bright smile
It seems to be proof that she really wanted to do it and prepared hard.
It was a refreshing and clean smile.
“As expected, we plan to sell cards and such, right?”
“Did you get caught?”
When she said she was bringing in goods from overseas, she couldn’t remember the card.
He is not Ara’s husband.
Most of the things Ara tries to do are followed by hobbies.
In the first place, singing started as a hobby for Ara.
The CEO recognized her and made her into an idol.
“There are still many people in Korea who enjoy credit cards. I don’t think it’s a bad thing.”
“Things like Pookyman cards are popular these days.”
“They say it’s selling a lot.”
From Noble mtl dot com
It was definitely a non-mainstream trend in Korea.
The Pookieman card has been showing an explosive response at some point.
It is becoming so popular that people say you can’t live without it.
And among collectors, the Korean version of the card is also good.
There are many people who want to collect Japanese or American cards.
The demand base is also clear.
“Then, can I buy the building?”
“It’s strange that you’re talking as if you’re buying a card, but… Wouldn’t it be okay?
As long as it’s not a scam or something.”
“Don’t worry, it’s not like that because it was recommended by a designer.
It’s not like buying at auction, and there’s no need to consider the right to cancellation.”
“I don’t know what that means.”
When I tilted my head and said I didn’t know, he smiled wryly and patted my head.
“At times like this, Seonghwan seems like guys his age.”
“So it’s not that good?”
“That can’t be true. My sister likes Seonghwan, whether he is masculine or feminine.”
“I like that my older sister is feminine.”
And then I rubbed my cheek against Ara’s cheek like a cat.
It’s been a while since I showed off to him, and the light in his eyes started to shine as if he was happy.
I quickly lost my lips.
