91 – Investment and Business (2)
The next day.
Because this is my first time participating in Ara’s business.
We decided to go see the building together if possible, so we set out in the morning.
I wondered if I could be of any help, but
Ara said that it was not for such profit or calculating reasons, she simply wanted to be with me.
He whined asking me to go with him, so I nodded after seeing something cute for the first time in a long time.
But my wife also wants to buy something like a building.
It feels like shopping at a convenience store.
In some ways, isn’t Ara the scariest person in the world?
Of course, I wasn’t the only one who felt that way.
The CEO and real estate agent who followed along were also smiling slightly bitterly.
“Araya, you’ve thought about it many times, right?”
“You said you did a lot? This time, you even consulted with Seonghwan.”
“No… Seonghwan doesn’t know anything about real estate.”
Watching her sister ask to buy her toys at her supermarket
The CEO with a wry smile and an older sister-like expression
I started stroking Ara’s head lightly.
A really cute little sister who whines and her sister has become like her older sister.
I smiled bitterly as I looked at the two people.
“What’s wrong?”
“No, I feel like you two are really like sisters.”
“Ara really thinks of me as her ‘real sister.'”
“No?! What kind of older sister treats her younger sister like a glutton and an idiot?!”
I barely held back from bursting into laughter at that moment.
There doesn’t seem to be much error in the CEO’s impression of Ara…
“Huh? I think I immediately saw a smile on my husband’s face.
I thought I was holding it in, but it seems like a little bit has spilled out.
I tried to hit him and say he never did that, but
Ara recognized it at once and pointed it out, pouting her lips.
“Does Seonghwan also think that his sister is a glutton and a spontaneous fool?”
“Oh…No. That can’t be possible.”
“Really?”
She shook her head up and down like a storm and said no.
She gently stroked Ara’s head, reaching down to her cheek.
“Even though I think my sister is a glutton, I know very well that she is not a spontaneous fool.”
“You think I’m a glutton?”
“I like a sister like that.”
I like Ara because she enjoys the food I cook for her.
And, she is more mature and straightforward than me, which is one of the reasons I find Ara cute.
Did you call this a gap?
She is cool and haughty anytime, anywhere, but in front of me, she changes into a wife as cute as a rabbit.
And, if something happens and she can’t eat, she becomes a crying wife.
Do you know how cute she is?
“I’ll go home today and cook you something delicious.”
“Really? What are you going to do?”
“Um… Is there anything you’d like to eat?”
He was obviously going to see the building, but he saw us having a normal conversation.
The CEO smiled wryly, saying he was carefree.
The driver and broker driving the car only have puzzled expressions on their faces.
***
The place I arrived at was the center of the city center, not far from my house.
It’s not far from home, so if we came alone,
It was less than a 5-minute drive away, but the representative and real estate agent had to come together.
It took quite a bit of time.
“This property is being sold because the building owner said he is returning home.”
“It’s a building with no particular problems, right?”
“The safety diagnosis was recently updated, and no water leaks or cracks were found. And…”
As I watched CEO Arawa and the broker talking to each other,
I drank orange juice.
Even if you want to intervene, you have to know what to say.
Isn’t it best for men to just quietly listen?
“Then, shall we go up to the top floor?”
“Now that I think about it, what did you say you were doing?”
“Yes, I’m going to try business.”
“Do you want to open a restaurant?”
“No? Are you going to run a game shop?”
“Something like an arcade?”
“No, I mean an offline shop that sells real games.”
Then, Ara began to explain her dreams one by one to her representative.
If conditions allow later, we will use Besahole racing simulations.
I think I would like to create an experiential game room.
That one alone costs 80 million won?
If you want to run a game room, don’t you need several dozen people?
“Araya, your husband seems a little dizzy after hearing it.”
“Seo…Seonghwan? I’m not saying we’re doing it right now!”
With the CEO who confuses Ara by making exaggerated statements,
Seeing Ara desperately trying to defend herself, I thought she was just playing a joke.
It’s very easy to kill.
“Shall we stop playing around here and go upstairs?”
“I guess so… I’m curious about the top floor… What should Seonghwan do?”
“I’ll go up with you, too.”
There is nothing to do if you are alone in the car anyway.
I wonder how much there will be to see.
*
“The tenants and stores are not bad.”
“The cafe on the first floor seems to be doing well.”
“What are you going to do?”
“I want to buy it.”
After looking around, I seemed to have made up my mind and started a conversation with the broker.
When they showed me that it was a good product, I wondered if there was such a thing as a good product in a building.
Because it is newly built, it is clean and has a more luxurious feel than regular buildings.
It was a good ‘thing’ that even made me nod my head.
“What do you think, Seonghwan?”
“I don’t know much about buildings, but this place is really pretty.”
“Isn’t the building pretty? Seonghwan really looks like a man when he looks like this.”
“But pretty is pretty…”
There is no other way to explain it.
Why should I say that this building feels like a luxury apartment?
It is located in the middle of the city center and there are many hospitals, so it may be natural for it to have a luxurious and comfortable atmosphere.
“But I guess I won’t die if I collapse around here.”
“Of course. Its nickname is the Tower of Life.”
“Do you know that nickname, too?”
“I guess Seonghwan knows, too? He’s famous here.”
I know this because I saw it on the community site.
It looks like the CEO is also running a community site.
Well, in this day and age, how many people are there who don’t use social media or communities?
I also post photos on SNS and communities several times a week.
Am I slowly joining the ranks of insiders?
“It’s famous not only in the humor community, but also in small business communities.
The building is clean and the price is good. So, at first, the owner made a gap investment and soon the item was sold at auction.
It seems there were a lot of rumors going around.”
Gap investment refers to allowing tenants to move into a building where the sale price and lease price are not much different.
This refers to purchasing another house with the deposit received from the tenant.
And when the tenant moves out, find another tenant and collect the deposit from the prospective tenant.
By returning it to the existing tenant, you can make a profit as the deposit increases.
If it goes down, you have to deal with another building to make up the difference.
In most cases, in the process, the deposit is lowered and there is money to pay.
In the end, after selling buildings one after another through infinite routes, we borrowed money from the bank as mortgages.
It looks like the bank, which is the standard for cancellation, is being seized because it cannot be repaid.
If this happens, tenants will not receive a penny if they do not have the ‘power to fight back’.
Some people are being kicked out of their rented houses, which is becoming a big problem.
Of course, the way to avoid these items is simple.
Before signing a contract for a house, you can request a copy of the register to check whether or not there is a mortgage.
It is a problem if you have a mortgage before you report your move-in.
If the transfer report is earlier than the mortgage payment
If the bank seizes the item and it goes to auction and the item is won, you have the right to receive the deposit before the bank.
“I guess that’s why it didn’t sell.”
“Ara happened to be looking for a place worth investing in, so I introduced him to her.”
“Have you actually thought about it?”
“Me? I like running stocks rather than buildings.”
She laughed and said she was not interested in buildings. She took out her phone and opened her stock app and showed it to me.
There were amounts written there that I could not even imagine.
Everything was glowing red, and the graph seemed to have its upper limit as if it could pierce the universe.
“Can I show you this?”
“So no one shows. Seonghwan is the first.”
‘Can’t I expose it to the community?’ After saying this, the CEO intervened in the conversation between Ara and the broker.
For some reason, he looks more happy.
But, while I like stocks,
Why did she give away all of her shares to Ara?
Ara didn’t even have her stock app installed on her phone…
It looks like they are just making sure that dividends are paid every year.
If that’s the case, wouldn’t it be better for the CEO to just go back to Ara?
