Hideki Yokoi urgently needs money now. Maybe he can be released on medical parole. His two sons also need money. Those Japanese insurance companies and banks had been trying to sell off their properties and companies to repay their debts. If they do not have money, they might not even be able to pay the interest, and the banks will confiscate all of Hideki Yokoi's assets.
Kunihiko Yokoi and his brother were looking for evidence of Kiiko Nakahara breaking the law. They want to get back the Empire State Building. This Empire State Building was bought by their father. How come all the documents show that this building does not belong to Japan?
Also, they need to deal with Kiiko Nakahara and her husband. They still need to deal with the New York property tycoon, Donald Trump.
After the US property market crash, Trump's assets had shrunk by 2/3. But he used a series of loans to keep his company afloat. But the interest he had to pay to the banks every year was more than 200 million USD!
Trump had threatened the bankers at that time. If they want him to go bankrupt, they will not even get back the principal. The banks had no choice but to let Trump suspend the interest payments.
How did Trump get out of this mess? Part of it was because of his books and the revival of real estate. The other part was the management rights of the Empire State Building. The contract between Hideki Yokoi and Kiiko Nakahara stated that if the two major tenants of the Empire State Building were evicted, they will own the building. The 50% shares of the Empire State Building that Hideki Yokoi had gotten at a low price will be worth several folds!
The management of the Empire State Building was in a mess, and the Empire State Building was in disrepair. The tenants were unhappy. Many of the tenants of the World Trade Center were the tenants of the Empire State Building, and this caused the value of the Empire State Building to depreciate.
Hideki Yokoi needed money now, and his two sons needed it more. That's why Kirilenko's men approached Hideki Yokoi's son, Kunihiko Yokoi.
Kunihiko Yokoi was overjoyed when he heard that someone had admitted that they own the Empire State Building. However, they were stuck in a dilemma as to how to operate it.
… …
"Feng, it is not easy to buy the Empire State Building. The management company is in a mess. Didn't Hideki Yokoi buy the Empire State Building? Why is it being managed by Trump and a French trust company now? This has nothing to do with Japan. "Kirilenko was having a headache. Was it so difficult to buy the Empire State Building?
Feng Yu also did not expect Kirilenko to be so serious about buying the Empire State Building. He was only trying to persuade Kirilenko not to buy the World Trade Center and not to rent the Empire State Building.
"Brother Ki, have you visited the Empire State Building? I heard that the renovations are old, and the cables will fall out from the ceiling. The windows are not sealed well, and it will leak during heavy rains. There are also rats infestation. Buying such a mobile building will cost a lot!" Feng Yu said.
"So what? This is an American landmark. I'm going to buy it! Furthermore, I've gotten someone to evaluate it. If we renovate it, the rent will definitely increase. We definitely won't make a loss. "Kirilenko said stubbornly.
The Americans had profited from Russia and bought the factories, brands, etc. that Russia was proud of. He wants to buy the pride of the Americans and let the world know that Russia also has rich people! Of course, this investment must not make a loss.
Feng Yu thought for a while: "Then, there is only one solution. We must let those few parties compromise and decide to sell the Empire State Building together. At this time, we must get Hideki Yokoi to help us. First, we must prove that Hideki Yokoi is the owner of the Empire State Building. "
Hideki Yokoi was heavily in debt. If Feng Yu can get a good price, he will sell the Empire State Building. Even if he doesn't want to sell, the banks and insurance companies will force him to sell.
All of Hideki Yokoi's properties in Japan were under the supervision of the banks. But he still owes the banks a lot of money, and those banks were watching him closely.
Feng Yu suspects that the change of ownership of the Empire State Building was Hideki Yokoi's doing. He wanted to leave his assets to his two sons.
If Hideki Yokoi owns the assets, the banks will take it away. If Kiiko Nakahara owns the assets, it will be transferred to his two sons. Even if it was only 10%, it was better than nothing. This was the reason why Kiiko Nakahara interfered.
Hideki Yokoi's anger was just an act. How could he admit that he wanted to transfer his assets to Feng Yu?
After Hideki Yokoi was released from prison, he could apply for bankruptcy. Anyway, he would be in his 80s at that time, and he did not have many years left. The Japanese valued their families. Every Japanese businessman wanted to build a prosperous family. Hideki Yokoi was no exception.
Since he had lost, he could still leave some assets for his sons so that they could have a chance to make a comeback. Also, Kiiko Nakahara was not an outsider. She was his daughter with his lover.
That's why Hideki Yokoi must step in and let him take back the management and leasing rights of the Empire State Building. This is the best way to get the building back. If not, someone else will be managing and leasing the building, and they will not be able to make any profits.
But there was also a possibility that Kiiko Nakahara wanted the assets for herself, and Hideki Yokoi was furious. But no matter what, only Hideki Yokoi could solve this problem.
"Hideki Yokoi is still in prison. I had asked my men to contact his eldest son, Kunihiko Yokoi. Kunihiko Yokoi is the heir to the Empire State Building after Hideki Yokoi goes to prison."
If Kirilenko could contact Hideki Yokoi, he would also agree.
"Seems like we need to speak to Hideki Yokoi. It will be up to him if he wants to continue the Yokoi family. If he is a smart man, he should know what to do. Brother Ki, leave this to me. I will get my men to speak to Hideki Yokoi. We will buy this Empire State Building. "
Jianlibao's branch in the US had bought the first floor of the Empire State Building. But after that, they rented it. Two years ago, they bought the 26th floor of the 420 Building on Manhattan's 5th Avenue for their US branch headquarters.
Jianlibao had a strong market in the US. Two years ago, during the Clinton campaign, Jianlibao had given Jianlibao to the wives of the two presidential candidates and took pictures. These pictures were published in the < New York Daily News >.
Jianlibao had been doing well in the US for the past few years. Coca-Cola and Pepsi had entered Asia, and Jianlibao had set up a fire in their backyard. Feng Yu was impressed by Jianlibao.
After buying the Empire State Building, Feng Yu wanted to evict all the tenants and relocate this building to Hua Xia's headquarters in the US. He might even be able to negotiate with Jianlibao to let Wind & Rain Electronics, Wind and Rain Electronics set up branches in the US. The Empire State Building will become the Hua Xia Building!
