"Hi . I came with President Jeong-Sook Shin here . She will join you starting today . "
"Hi . I've heard a lot about you . My name is Min-Sook Oh . "
"You look familiar . Have we met before?"
"I've done some contracting work for KimBooks before . "
"Oh, I see . That's why you look so familiar . Nice to meet you . I'm Jeong-Sook Shin . "
Min-Sook introduced the other two workers to her .
"This lady here worked in the design team with me . And the lady here, she handled administrative work for our previous company . "
"Oh, is that right? Have you worked with a publishing application before?"
"No, not yet . "
"We will start using a publishing application at work . The daily orders from Kyobo Book Center and Yes24 for example or some other companies will be all handled using the software . We will use the publishing application for our shipping request as well . "
When Jeong-Sook started talking with her employees about the work at the publishing company, Gun-Ho stood up to leave .
"Alright . I will leave you all here so you could comfortably talk about the work . I have an important meeting I need to attend anyway . "

"Haha . If you are okay with the book selection, then I am okay with it . I totally leave the decision up to you to use your discretion . Manager Kang, why don't you hand over the company bank account and credit card to President Shin?"
"Yes, sir . "
Manager Kang handed the new publishing company's bank book and business credit card to Jeong-Sook . Gun-Ho then walked out of the office . They will talk further about the details of the tasks and things of their publishing company .
The workers came to the front door of the office to see Gun-Ho leaving .
"Today is the first day of the company . Why don't you celebrate by having lunch in a nice restaurant all together today?"
Gun-Ho then headed to Asan City .
Gun-Ho was having a cup of coffee in the morning with several directors and managers when the plant manager brought up the topic about Jae-Sik Moon .
"The security guard who used to work night shift here quit the job . I heard he is someone you know, sir . "
"I recently established a publishing company named GH Media . He will be working for that company as a chief editor . "
"A chief editor?"
"Yes . He used to work in the publishing field, and his novel has recently been selected for an award . The prize was 50 million won . "
"Oh, I see . I didn't know he was a writer . Well, I think I saw him writing something in his security guard office . I guess he was writing a novel . "
The people in the office all laughed together .
"That's good for him . He didn't seem to fit in here anyway . He was inept at the work, and I was thinking of letting you know about it . Well, he found a job that fits in with his talent . I am happy for him . "

Gun-Ho was picturing Jae-Sik sitting at a desk writing and working with books that he loved . Gun-Ho felt happy for Jae-Sik .
After having a morning meeting with managers and directors, Gun-Ho checked his email . There was an email from President Jeong-Sook Shin; it said,
"President Goo, I understand that I don't have to give you a daily report; however, I believe I need to let you know the decision on the books which we will be publishing, and the salaries of the workers . Here is the list of books we plan to publish . "
President Shin listed six books . The book list showed mostly the books about self-development that could be easily read by readers, except 'Economy Trend in China for the 21st Century' authored by Professor Jien Wang . Three of them were written by Japanese writers, and two of them were authored by famous Korean columnist .
"The book titles of these books are very provocative . "
Gun-Ho then looked at the workers' salaries .
"President Shin 3 . 5 million won, Chief Editor Jae-Sik Moon 2 . 5 million won, Min-Sook Oh 2 . 2 million won, Assistant designer and administrative staff 1 . 9 million won . "
"I told her that I would pay her 5 million won, but she lowered it to 3 . 5 million won for herself . I guess she was concerned about what other workers would think about her receiving a high salary now when the company even haven't started generating revenue . However, I know she will ask me to raise it once a book starts selling . She seems to be a sensitive person about money . "
Gun-Ho was reading an economic newspaper when the sales director entered his office .
"Sir, this is the product cost that we will bring to S Group . "
"How much is the product cost per unit?"
"It's 4,800 won . "
"The labor cost is 860 won, huh?"
"Yes . The labor cost is divided into three different labors: handling the extruding machine and mixing the chemicals, and cutting work, and lastly quality assurance and wrapping . "
"Is this based on the next year's projected labor cost?"

"No . We used this year's labor cost . We need to base this year's labor cost for the products that will be manufactured this year . "
"The product unit cost seems to be very high . What costs are included?"
"It includes electricity and rent for the factory . "
"A rent for the factory?"
"Yes . Even though we own the factory, I included the rental cost . Also, various supplies expenses and depreciation are reflected in the production cost . "
"The manufacturing cost per unit itself already exceeds 3,500 won . "
"The cost of wrapping and shipping have reflected that cost . "
"How much did you list for sales and management?"
"15% of the product cost . "
"Do you think the S Group will raise the issue on it?"
"They will try to lower that cost . However, I will convince them to approve our estimated product cost . "
"Okay . "
"Please sign on the production cost sheet . We will need your signature on it so we can use it outside the company, sir . "
Gun-Ho signed on the production cost .
Gun-Ho asked with a smile,
"How much do you think they will ask in their first order?"
"I am not so sure, but I am expecting that they will ask us to produce about 50,000 units . "
"50,000… It's 240 million won then . "
The sales director was surprised by that, Gun-Ho calculated the revenue without using a calculator .
'He has an excellent number of sense and high capacity for mental computation . Wow . No wonder he succeeded at his young age . '
"Have we received enough raw materials from Dyeon America already for those first 50,000 product unit?"
"We received 3 tons of raw materials so far . We are unloading it right now using a forklift truck . "
"Are you visiting S Group tomorrow with the production cost document?"
"Yes . I will go with the assistant manager who was in charge of that estimation . "
"Sounds good . "
"Okay, sir . Please let me know if you need anything . "
The sales director was walking towards the office door to leave when he turned back and came to Gun-Ho to say,
"Sir, I have something I'd like to ask you . "
"What is it?"
"Can we have two workers from the research center assigned to our sales department once the research center is dissolved?"
"I will send you one worker . "
"We need two of them, sir . We need at least two more people in order to strengthen our sales capacity . "
"Let's talk about it later then . "
"Okay, sir . I will leave now . "
