Everyone looked at Gun-Ho .
"Once we made an actual contract for the joint venture next month, we will have a presentation in Seoul to attract Korean companies into the industrial park . "
"Where will it be held?"
"We haven't decided the exact location yet; however, I am thinking of the Koreana Hotel since its location is easy to access . "
"Koreana Hotel? The one close to Gwanghwamun Gate?"
"Yes . When Mr . Min-Hyeok Kim and I go to China next month we will discuss more details with our co-venturers . Once we decide the location, I will let you know . Then you will have to make a reservation right away . Manager Kang, I want you to make a reservation for the hotel . "
"Okay . "
"There is a large hall called Gloria Hall in Koreana Hotel . I was told it could hold about 200 people . I want you to make a reservation of that hall . "
"Okay, sir . "
"Also, check the price of advertisement of the size of about 17 centimeters by 37 centimeters . I am considering newspapers of Economics and Jojoongdong for the ad . "
Gun-Ho continued to talk about the roles that everyone needed to take for a successful presentation .
"Ms . Ji-Young Jeong, please prepare drinks and take care of the reception . "
"Should I prepare for 200 people?"
"We might not have 200 people that day; however, we should prepare for 200 people . Let's have green tea and coffee . We will also have to distribute pamphlets that will be prepared by China . We will prepare a guest book as well . "
"Okay . "
"And, Min-Hyeok, make 200 copies of the pamphlet . We will need to translate the pamphlet into the Korean language . I know someone who can do the translation; he is a Chinese language instructor at Hankuk University of Foreign Studies . I will ask him . We will also have an individual interview with the participants after the presentation . I will take Group A, and you take Group B . You will have to study and memorize about the industrial park when we visit China next month . "
"Okay . I will visit the site in China again and will memorize the contents of the pamphlet . "
"Also, make the presentation material with PowerPoint and if you incur any cost by doing so, just let Ms . Ji-Young Jeong know . "

"Okay . "
"Ms . Ji-Young Jeong, for all the expenses incurred in preparing the presentation, we will send a bill to the joint venture, so make sure not to mix with the receipts of GH Development . "
"Okay, sir . "
"I am sorry if I talked too much about work . We are here to enjoy our lunch, don't we?"
"That's okay, sir . We really liked the lunch . Thank you . "
Manager Kang said . Min-Hyeok also added to it; his face was already red because of the liquor he drank .
"I've been stressed about what I would have to do in preparation for the presentation . But since you clearly assign the work to each of us, I feel relieved . I think I can handle my part . "
While Gun-Ho was paying for lunch at the counter, Manager Kang, Ji-Young, and Min-Hyeok were making a joke to each other and laughing together . His employees looked happy .
After dropping them off at the office, Gun-Ho wanted to take a rest . He felt sleepy, probably because of the glass of liquor he had during the lunch .
"Let's go somewhere to take a rest . I don't want my employees to see me take a nap in the office . It would look ugly and not appropriate . "
Gun-Ho headed to Novotel Ambassador Hotel which was close to his office . He sat at a café in the lobby and fell asleep . He had a dream .
In his dream, he was still working at the plastic factory in Hwaseong City as an injection molding worker . It was the time when he first started working at the factory . The factory manager was yelling at the production team leader .
"This product, R-1640 . Who did this? The new worker, Gun-Ho Goo did this? What did you do when he was making a mess like this?"
The factory manager kicked the team leader's shin .

"I'm… I'm sorry, sir . "
"Your saying sorry doesn't help the situation at all! What are you going to do with all these 6,000 products?"
"What's wrong with Gun-Ho Goo? He is a college graduate, right? Then how come he can't do a better job than the other workers who didn't even finish high school? It has been a year already since he joined our factory!"
"I'm so sorry, sir . I will let him go . "
"We will have to take all our products back . You go to the client site and take care of it! And take Gun-Ho Goo with you!"
"I will do that, sir . "
Gun-Ho got slapped in the face by the team leader .
"You stupid a*shole! I can do better work than you even when I am drunk . Get in the truck! We will have to go to the client site to take our products back!"
The truck was heading to somewhere else instead of their client site .
"Shouldn't we go to Wonil Tech in Bongdam Town?"
"You, idiot f*cker! We take parts from Wonil Tech to assemble and send the product to JoyangMobis . You don't f*cking know that yet?"
"I… I see . "
"JoyangMobis claimed for defective products to Wonil Tech, so Wonil Tech asked us to take them back! You stupid f*cking as*hole!"
JoyangMobis was located in Namyang Town, Hwaseong City . It was a huge company with all sorts of modern technology . At the entrance, a guard asked them to write down their name and address on the visitor book and to hand a photo ID to him before they could get in .
"Whoa, it is huge . "
"You, f*cker, you are not here to have a tour! Put the visitor's pass on your chest and follow me!"

The production team leader took Gun-Ho to a storage . The sign on the storage was written in English .
Inside the storage, there was a pile of products with company names that delivered the products to them . At the storage entrance, a staff in a uniform let people in, only those who had an authorized ticket to take products back .
"We are from Hwaseong Industry . We came to pick up R-1640 that was returned to Wonil Tech . "
The production team leader told the staff at the entrance in a servile attitude with a smile .
"What about Wonil Tech? Are they not coming?"
"They will . We are their subcontractor and we came to pick up their products for them . Here is the ticket . "
A forklift truck started loading the 2 . 5-ton truck that the team leader drove, with the products that were returned .
Gun-Ho looked around the factory . It was so big that it looked several times larger than a playground in high school . There were a lot of workers as well .
"Sir, they probably have more than 1,000 workers here, right?"
"Why do you want to know about it? You, son of b*tch . They said they have over 3,000 workers . "
"Wow . I wonder what kind of person owns this large factory . "
"There is a rumor that the president here is a relative of H-Group's daughter-in-law . You f*cker . "
Gun-Ho felt said and thought,
'A person can't succeed in Korea without the right family, academic education and network . Then what should a person like me do? I want to work at a company like this . That is probably impossible in this life, huh?'
"Whew . "
"You son of b*tch, don't just stay there and sigh . Get ready to go back to our factory!"
"I'm sorry, sir . You had to come here because of me…"
"You know that huh? You can just get fired and find another factory to work at . But what am I going to do?"
"I'm so sorry . "
"Do you see all the products that were returned there? It's a waste, don't you think?"
"Can't we recycle it?"
"Recycle my as* . You son of b*tch! Not everything can be recycled . Those products cannot be recycled, you stupid f*cker!"
"All of them?"
"Disposing of those products cost money too, and those are industrial garbage . You help create more industrial garbage, you human trash!"
Gun-Ho eventually got fired . The work experience at the factory left him a missing nail and burn scars on his left arm . He had to go through this harsh life just because he couldn't pass the level-9 government job exam .
In the dream, Gun-Ho was in someplace else . He was in a farmland somewhere in Hwaseong . He was sitting on the farmland while crying . Someone was walking toward him . It was Chairman Lee from Cheongdam Town .
"Chairman Lee . "
"Oh, Gun-Ho Goo . Why are you crying here? I heard you built a huge factory on a 10,000 pyung land this time, and your factory is bigger than JoyangMobis . Congratulations . "
Chairman Lee was extending his hand to Gun-Ho for a handshake when Gun-Ho woke up from his dream .
That was the dream Gun-Ho had while he was dozing off at the café in Novotel Ambassador Hotel . Gun-Ho drank his coffee that was placed on the table . The coffee became already cold .
Gun-Ho bit his lips .
"That's right . My goal is not just to invest in some real estate or stocks . I want to have an enormous factory with several thousands of employees . "
Gun-Ho gulped down the cold coffee as if it was cold water .
