We are not taking about akiya here but actual businesses. A thriving business would never sell for one million yen.

  What makes you think these businesses are thriving? It's scams upon scams: the Japanese mastermind buys failing businesses on the cheap, pumps up the price and sells them to Chinese people, who then proceed to use them to essentially scam residence visas from the Japanese government.

    > these businesses are thriving Maybe not thriving but they were paying salaries and bills before they were bought. They were not in a bankrupt state.

      Not bankrupt doesn’t mean the company is actually worth anything. A large number of tiny business are still in operation because the owner is willing to work at below market rates to keep it operating.
