"Amiel, what do you think of my company?"
"It was good . It was larger than I expected . "
"Really? Thank you . "
"How much did you say your annual sales revenue was?"
Attorney Young-Jin Kim was carefully listening to the conversation; he seemed to be curious about Gun-Ho's company's annual sales revenue .
"It was 70 billion won when I acquired that company, and it will soon be 80 billion won . My goal is to make it 100 billion won by next year . "
"Wow! 100 billion won!?"
Attorney Young-Jin Kim was astonished while Amiel was just nodding his head .
"The land itself should be twice larger than Dyeon Japan's factory land in Yokohama . "
"I'm actually thinking of moving the factory to somewhere else . "
"Why?"
"I need to restructure the company, and also I have another reason . "
"What are you up to?"
"I'm thinking of using that factory for a joint venture with Dyeon . "
"What?"
Amiel and Attorney Young-Jin Kim looked at each other in surprise .
Gun-Ho pushed himself closer to the two men and said,
"What do you think, Amiel? We can start a joint venture in that factory that you visited today . I have enough workers; there are 250 of them . We can select several tens of workers from them to work for the joint venture . "
"Hmm . "
Amiel didn't give any response to it . He was just sitting there with his arms crossed .

It was Attorney Young-Jin Kim who broke the silence .
"Hey, I think it is a good idea . "
As Amiel unwrapped his arms, he said,
"There are a lot of things we need to get through before we can decide to do a joint venture . We need to analyze the potential co-venturer's financial status, technology, and skilled workers . We also take into consideration the president's personality and strong will to participate in the joint venture . "
"Hmm . "
"The headquarters from the U . S . has a list of requirements to evaluate the potential co-venturer, and you need to pass it . "
Attorney Young-Jin Kim said while pouring a beer to Amiel's glass .
"We have you, Amiel . Can you do something about it?"
"Haha . No way . It's not just a checklist he needs to pass, but they will make an actual visit to his company . "
"Hmm . "
"The land that I saw today is big enough; however, the company's debt ratio should be low too . "
"Hmm . "
The three men ate the food without saying a word for a while .
"I will restructure the company as soon as possible and will lower the debt ratio . "
"The credit rating is important too . They will issue the company's credit rating from the credit bureau . "
"Hmm . "
"Once your company passed all the requirements, you will need to send some skilled workers to the U . S . and get them trained before you receive the necessary equipment by ship . "

"Do I have to purchase machines? Or can I lease them?"
"As long as you satisfy all the requirements, you can lease the machines . "
"Hmm . "
"The joint venture in Korea will have to consider the market overseas such as China and Southeast Asia . The headquarters in the U . S . will probably want that . "
"Does the president have to speak English?"
"Haha, no, you don't have to . They want you to run the business well; they don't ask you to learn English . You can hire someone who speaks English . "
Gun-Ho scheduled to go play golf the next day with Amiel and Attorney Young-Jin Kim in Yongin City . After dinner, he decided to stay in Seoul since he needed to come to the area again the next day for golf anyway . So, he went to his TowerPalace condo .
"It has been a while since I slept at this condo . "
There were tons of mail piled up in the mailbox .
The large condo looked so quiet and lonely . Gun-Ho went into the master bedroom and lied down on his bed .
"I want to start a family . Should I ask Mori Aikko to come here and live with me?"
Gun-Ho grabbed a pillow and conceived it until he fell asleep .
The next day, the three men started an 18 hole round of golf in Asiana Country Club .
This time, Gun-Ho didn't make many mistakes . He wasn't a disturbance in playing golf for Amiel and Attorney Young-Jin Kim like the last time they played golf together . Attorney Young-Jin Kim made a joke .
"President Goo, did you play golf all day long in Asan City instead of working, huh?"
Amiel added with his eyes widened .
"Oh, President Goo, you improved a lot . I think you can go to Pebble Beach Golf Links in California now . "

"Pebble Beach?"
"Yeah, they have the most beautiful golf course in the world . PGA Tour Champions play annual events there . "
"Really?"
Once they walked out of the golf country club, they went to Miranda Hotel in Icheon City . They enjoyed the hot spring bath there .
"Wow, the water here is so nice . "
"Hot spring is not just famous in Japan . We have a good one in Asan City where I stay right now, and the hot spring here in Icheon City is very popular as well . "
Attorney Young-Jin Kim who was playing with water said,
"That's right . The Onyang hot spring in Asan City has been around for a long time and very famous . According to the historical record, Sejong, the Great King came to Onyang to wash his eyes with the hot spring in Onyang when he had eye trouble . "
"Really?"
After taking the hot spring bath, they went to a steak restaurant inside the Miranda hotel . Their table was on the terrace that was connected to an outdoor water park . They enjoyed the steak with wine .
"Hey, Gun-Ho Goo! I will treat you guys here; instead, you pay for the Hannam bar . Let's go there tonight, Ms . Jang's bar . "
"The bar in Hannam Town? I was going to go there with you guys anyway . Amiel wanted to listen to Gayageum again . "
Gun-Ho made a call to the hostess—Mi-Hyang Jang .
"Oh, President Gun-Ho Goo, I thought you forgot about us . "
"I will bring one American and one more Korean today . "
"An American will join you? Sure . I will have a girl ready, who can speak English . "
"We will be there at 8 pm . We want to listen to Gayageum as well . "
"Of course, sir . "
At 8 pm that night, Gun-Ho's party arrived at 'Pine'—the bar in Hannam Town .
The bouncers who were wearing black suits came out and led them inside the bar . They treated Gun-Ho as if he was the boss of a Mafia or something .
"Is Ms . Jang here?"
"Please come in . She is expecting you . "
Ms . Mi-Hyang Jang greeted Gun-Ho's party; she was wearing a Korean traditional dress .
"Welcome, President Goo . It has been several years already since you visited us?"
"What are you talking about? I feel like I came here a few months ago . "
"You often go to a bar in Japan . You should visit us more often here in Korea too . "
"I went there only once . "
"Well, I can't compete with Segawa Joonkko . "
"I think you can beat her . "
Ms . Jang said while she was taking Gun-Ho's jacket and hanging it on the wall .
"I heard something from Japan . "
"Like what?"
"I heard that you put the most famous geisha's hair up . "
Attorney Young-Jin Kim and Amiel looked puzzled .
"Haha . Stop your nonsense, and bring us food . We will have Ballantine's for liquor . "
"Chairman Lee always visited us at least twice per week when he was young . "
