Since he didn't have to go to work and wasn't in a hurry, Lin Xiu hugged the pillow and slept well before bringing Miyano Akimi out to look for a shop.
Tokyo was a bustling commercial center, and all kinds of shops could be seen everywhere.
However, just because there were many shops did not mean that every shop was profitable.
While there was a lot of traffic here, it also meant that the competition was fierce.
Only a small portion of the Shops were able to earn a lot of money. The majority of the Shops were earning some hard-earned money, and there were even some Shops that were barely able to maintain their expenses.
Lin Xiu and Ming Mei made a profit around the area, but they didn't find any shops that they liked.
Fortunately, during lunch, Ming Mei found a real estate boss online.
"Mr. Lin, what do you think of this Beihu Art Museum? Does it meet your requirements?" Ming Mei asked.
"Beihu Art Museum?" Lin Xiu, who was eating, heard Ming Mei mention this place. He nodded and said,"It shouldn't be a problem. The art gallery is so big that it should be able to accommodate a lot of people.”
Hearing that Lin Xiu liked it, Ming Mei said,"Then I'll contact the seller now. How about two o'clock in the afternoon?”
"Sure." Lin Xiu nodded to indicate that there was no problem.
Ming Mei called the seller.
Soon, she hung up the phone and said,"Alright, after two o'clock, we'll go directly to the Beihu Art Museum and talk to Mr. Yamanaka.”
"Alright." Lin Xiu nodded with satisfaction. He felt that spending money to hire a butler was a wise decision. Many trivial matters did not need to be handled by himself.
After lunch, the two of them took a taxi to the Mi Hua Art Museum.
As soon as he got out of the car, Lin Xiu said to Ming Mei,"After everything here is settled, I'll buy a high-end car to travel.”
"Alright." Ming Mei nodded and noted this down.
After the two of them arrived at the Beihu Art Museum, they didn't go straight in to find Mr. Yamanaka. Instead, they pretended to be tourists and bought tickets to go in and take a look. They found that there was no one here, only couples on dates.
After seeing this scene, Lin Xiu roughly knew how to lower the price.
Although he didn't lack money, he didn't want others to take advantage of him.
The feeling of being a nouveau riche was enough.
If he did it too much, Lin Xiu felt that others would treat him as a fool and a money bag.
After having a rough estimate of this place, Lin Xiu went to meet the boss.
After entering the office, Lin Xiu and Ming Mei sat down on the sofa. The boss of Yamanaka poured tea for them.
After chatting for a while, Boss Yamanaka got to the main topic and said,""I founded this art gallery privately. I didn't want to sell it at first, but I'm a little short of funds recently, so I can only consider selling it temporarily..."
Lin Xiu was already a little tired of the Japanese's roundabout speech. He directly interrupted,"Boss Yamanaka, just name your price.”
The boss wasn't embarrassed. He said,""If Mr. Lin really likes it, then this art gallery will be transferred to you for 1.3 billion yen.”
"1.3 billion?" Lin Xiu shook his head decisively." There's so little traffic here. It's not worth 1.3 billion at all. Besides, I don't understand those paintings. You can take all your priceless paintings. I only want this art gallery…700 million."”
" 700 million..." The boss was not very satisfied with the amount. He had no other choice. He was short of money and could not continue operating.
Most of the art gallery was not a place to make money. It was a social venue. It was impossible to earn back the money by relying on the entrance fee.
A real famous painting would cost at least a few hundred million yen. His small art gallery did not have any.
"Mister Lin, your price is a bit excessive."”
"I think we can each take a step back. How about 1.1 billion for the entire art gallery?”
"Move your valuables away. I'll give you at least 800 million for the art gallery.”
“………………”
After some bargaining, the price was finally decided. The entire art museum was worth 900 million, but the premise was that Lin Xiu had to continue using the staff in the art museum and let the art museum continue to operate for half a year.
After the matter was settled, the owner of the art gallery asked the curator of the art gallery to come in and meet Lin Xiu.
"Mr. Lin, let me introduce you. This is our art gallery director, Mr. Ochiai. Mr. Ochiai, from today onwards, Mr. Lin is your boss.”
"Don't worry, I've already talked to Mr. Lin. He'll continue to run the art gallery.”
When the elderly Director Ochiai heard this, his elderly face revealed a grateful and joyful expression. He repeatedly bowed to Lin Xiu and thanked him, Thank you, Boss Lin, for allowing the art gallery to continue operating…"
His murky eyes suddenly brightened up.
Over the past few decades, he had guarded this art gallery every day. He even treated it as his home and loved it as his son.
When he found out that the art gallery could not continue operating, he almost fainted. If the art gallery closed down, then his passion for the art gallery would instantly disappear!
Just as he was feeling hopeless and powerless, someone suddenly took over the art gallery and claimed that they wanted to continue running it.
This allowed Director Ochiai to find hope again and pull himself together!
He swore that as long as he was alive, he would definitely manage this art gallery for his new boss!
"You're welcome." Lin Xiu nodded his head. He had promised to continue running the art gallery, but it was just to buy it.
Once the contract was signed, he wouldn't give a damn about Boss Yamanaka anymore.
Continue to run the art gallery?
Hehe, so what if I agree to your condition?
There were plenty of ways to get around this condition.
He could open an art gallery restaurant.
She enjoyed art while eating. How trendy!
As for the guests who were only focused on eating and were not in the mood to appreciate the art, that was not something he could care about.
Of course, the agreement to continue running the art gallery was invalid, but he would not fire the employees in the art gallery. He was not so black-hearted.
Anyway, the restaurant needed employees, so he just took them over.
