My uncle decided that he'd wait until after graduation to give me important news. Apparently this important news was that his company is deep shit because of loans. Mortgage loans. On his house.
First of all, I had no clue that the financial crisis even REALLY affected Japan. I've always just been saying it's all staged and what not...well I still do believe that, but I never expected it to affect a company such as my uncle's. Especially that he does know how to run it. I guess I've been blind to the actually situation since I'm unemployed for months and the only work I've been doing it's in a field that has nothing to do with financial problems.
My uncle didn't want to tell me before the exams and with good reason, because my mind wouldn't have been on studying that's for sure. The problem is the company is just recovering and already the deadline for down payment on the loan is first of March... taking money from the company is putting it back close to bankruptcy and being unable to pay employees, not taking money means his house could be put up for auction.
Obviously I'm dazed with all this information and I had to postpone going to Tokyo today like I had actually planned.
Tatsu obviously offered to give my uncle the money but there's no way I would, or my uncle for that matter, accept something like this. So that leaves me with one option...which is to sell my car. And it's ridiculously hard to take this decision, this car is the first thing I ever bought for myself...it broke with me- quite literally - when I had that accident, and just like me it got fixed...I used it to get the heck out of Tokyo when I thought I would go insane if I stayed there just one more minute, then I used it to go back and forth between Tokyo and Kyoto...there's really a lot of things related to that car.
I really don't want to sell it. But I guess I have no choice, I'll buy another car when I start working again, it might be for the better too, since this car holds too many memories and too much energy, it really seen a lot w.
Anyways, I'm not familiar at all with the whole process involved into selling a second hand car so me and Kaji are both brainstorming over it. There's no getting any help from my uncle since he would disapprove if he knew and from Tatsu either since he'd keep insisting I don't need to.
Well hopefully I can do it within this next few days.
Peace
Ok, this is really bad. Damn all this crisis..
返信削除Anyway...Kitte-nii I'd really love to help, but i don't see a way to do it..and I'd doubt me saying "do it" or "don't do it" will change anything...But you did teach me something remenber? It's not the items, but the memories they hold, they won't dissapear once you sell your car, You'll keep them inside you ,right? However i don't know if this applies..After all my most precious items are my playstations and my ToA stone, I'd really like to be there to back you up...But since I can't, if you need anything just ask me kay? I'll do my best!
Hmm, your car is modified though right? So you can probably sell it for more than the standard for sure. Never sold a car before, so not totally sure of the process of doing that, but internet or newspaper ads would speed up the process.
返信削除So sorry about hearing the bad news, but after this, will the company be able to pull out of it? I'll pray that you get a good deal on selling your car ^^. Hope everything works out well.
Bad news indeed... Stupid Money...
返信削除Hopefully your uncle's business picks up, and when it does, that it prospers so that the auction thing doesn't happen.
I really do hope that if you sell your car, that you get a good trade. Never let go of the memories~ (Take heaps of photos of it!)
Oh... And regards to our meet up. 飲み物をおごってもいい？...砂糖を入れますか？入れませんか？Lol. Seriously.
