Gun-Ho went to Palace Hotel that was located next to Gangnam Express Bus Terminal, where Amiel was staying for his visit to Korea . Attorney Young-Jin Kim was already in the hotel lobby when Gun-Ho arrived at the hotel .
"We don't have to take two cars . I will drive . "
"Sounds good . "
"Where is Amiel?"
"He will come down soon . "
"What was the company name in Pyeongtaek City, where we are heading to?"
"It's Egnopak . Have you heard of it?"
"I have . It's quite a big company and a KOSDAQ registered firm . "
"They have 3,000 employees . "
"Yeah, that's about right . "
Amiel came down to the first floor through an elevator and lifted his arm when he saw Gun-Ho waiting for him in the lobby .
"Oh, Mr . Gun-Ho Goo, how are you?!"

Gun-Ho took President Amiel and Attorney Young-Jin Kim in his Land Rover and drove to Egnopak Corporation that was situated in Jinwi Town in Pyeongtaek City .
A guard stopped Gun-Ho's car at the main gate .
"We are here to meet the president . "

"May I tell him who's here to see him?"
"Please tell him that the president of Japan location of Lymondell Dyeon is here . "
The guard quickly made a call to somewhere before he came back to Gun-Ho's party .
"You can proceed . Please park over there and go to the second floor through the main entrance . "
Their large factory was very well organized and extremely clean . The workers seemed to be neat and well disciplined . The front yard of the factory was nicely landscaped with trees such as pine trees and juniper trees .
"I want to have a factory like this! A factory that has over 3,000 employees with the sales revenue of one trillion won . "
Gun-Ho bit his lips as he firmly made up his mind .

After Gun-Ho parked his car, the three men walked towards the main entrance . There was a man who looked like in his 50s waiting for Gun-Ho's party .
"Welcome to Egnopak . I am the director of the sales department here . You must be President Amiel . We received a call that you would be here . Please come with me; I will show you to the president's office . "
At the entrance, several complete automobile parts were displayed under a spotlight . They were professionally displayed for showcasing .
The sales director led Gun-Ho's party to the second floor . The president's office was spacious . It was carpeted green, and a young lady who looked like in her 20s was sitting at a desk . She was wearing a suit . She must be a secretary . When she saw Gun-Ho's party entering the office, she stood up .
"Are you Mr . Amiel by any chance?"
The secretary asked; her English sounded perfect .
"Yes, I am . "
The secretary brought Gun-Ho's party to another office inside a large office where they were standing .

The office was large . The president was sitting at a conference table that was situated in the middle of the office . He stood up when he saw Gun-Ho's party entering the office . The president was an overweight man in his 60s; he looked like a toad .

"Welcome, President Amiel . "
Amiel pleasantly extended his hand to the president for a handshake .
"Let's all have a seat . "
Once everyone was seated, the president took out his business card from a Korean traditional mother-of-pearl mini storage box and handed one to each of Gun-Ho's party . President Amiel gave his business card to the president and so did Attorney Kim . The president looked at Attorney Kim's business card closely with his reading glasses .
"Oh, you are an attorney from Kim&Jeong . But we don't need any legal consultation yet since we haven't started anything . "
The president said to Attorney Kim while smiling . He had a large round face like a wheel of a vehicle with small eyes .
"I am here to interpret for President Amiel . "
Gun-Ho pulled out his business card as well, but he hesitated to give it to the president; he felt somewhat embarrassed to hand it to him . However, he was here and felt compelled to give it to him . The president once again wore his reading glasses to look at Gun-Ho's business card .
"President of GH Development?"
"Yes, I am . "
"What does GH stand for?"
Gun-Ho didn't know what to say . He felt embarrassed to tell him that GH was his initials . When the president noticed that Gun-Ho was hesitating to respond, he laughed and said,
"They must be your name initials . Many people use their initials for their company names these days . Is it a real estate development company?"
"I mostly do rental property business rather than developing . "

The president didn't wait until Gun-Ho finished his sentence, but he started talking to Amiel .
"I was amazed when I went to the U . S . last month to see Lymondell Dyeon . I was very impressed by their research center and equipment . It was indeed a global enterprise . "
Attorney Kim interpreted for Amiel as the president was talking . Once Amiel understood what the president said, he smiled broadly .
"I had a chance to glance at Egnopak on the way here . I was impressed as well . The factory seemed to be extremely clean . "
Attorney Kim interpreted what Amiel just said .
"Our factory complies with 3 Right 5 S . I guess the workers were doing well since you found our factory extremely clean . "
Attorney Kim whispered to Gun-Ho,
"President Goo, what is 3 Right 5 S?"
"It's a clean-up activity to enhance productivity efficiently in a factory . 3 Right stands for Right Goods, Right Quantity, and Right Place and 5 S stands for Sorting, Straightening, Shining, Standardizing, and Sustaining . I used to do it when I worked at a factory . "
"Really? I see . "

The female secretary brought tea and placed a cup of tea in front of each person in the office . Gun-Ho could smell the scent of tea .
"Let's have some tea . Why don't you join us, Ms . Oh?"
The secretary hesitated a bit before she sat at the edge of the table .
"Ms . Oh went to high school and college in the U . S . She speaks English very well . She will be helpful in communicating with President Amiel . "
"Oh, really?"
Attorney Kim gave his business card to Ms . Oh . She looked at Attorney Kim's business card . Gun-Ho didn't give his to her .

After having a few sips of tea, the president continued to talk .
"It won't be easy for the joint venture of Lymondell Dyeon with Japan to get into the Chinese market . There is an emotional issue between Japan and China due to their history, and also labor cost in Japan is too high . However, if you can have a joint venture with Korea, then it will be much easier to enter the Chinese market . Ms . Oh, why don't you interpret for President Amiel?"
The secretary fluently interpreted what the president just said with her pleasant voice . Amiel and Attorney Kim seemed to be impressed .
"She spoke just like a native American . "
Attorney Kim said in amazement .
Amiel said,
"We acknowledged the advanced technology of Egnopak . The reason we don't do joint venture with China is because of their technology that is behind Japan and Korea . Moreover, it's hard to find good quality compound pigment in a market in China . "
This time, Attorney Kim interpreted for the president .

The president continued to talk . He seemed to be very experienced in this sort of discussion .
"We will prepare the land to build a factory and an extruder for compounds machine . All Lymondell Dyeon needs to bring in is their technology . We will also handle the marketing for the Chinese market; we already have our branch office in China . So, I want to suggest,"
The president dragged his chair towards Amiel and said in a low tone,
"Let's make it 51:49 . We are 51 and Lymondell Dyeon takes 49 . We need this to maintain our management control . Also, we want the technology transfer at the end of the joint venture . "
Amiel was listening intently to what the president said, and then he smiled and said,
"I understood what you said . However, I am not in a position to discuss the joint venture's terms . I will talk with the headquarters . It has been a very productive meeting, sir . "
