"Okay, then we will directly contact Professor Wang . I have a translator with me here right now, who is very good at translating Chinese into Korean . I will ask him to translate this book . "

"Is that translator good at the Chinese language?"
"Not only the Chinese language . He speaks Korean fluently too . "
"Korean language?"
"The translator studied in China . He is also a writer . His novel was once selected for an award as well . He is currently teaching the Chinese language in a college . For the translation work from Chinese into Korean, a translator needs to know not just the Chinese language but also the Korean language . "
"Hmm . I see . All other books started being translated already? Since you made a contract with an agency for those books . "
"That's right . The process of publishing a book is quicker if we do it through an agency . They proceed with all the necessary steps on behalf of us . However, as to the Professor Jien Wang's book, we have to take care of everything; we will even have to go to a bank to send the money to be paid in advance to Professor Jien Wang to China . "
"I see . "
"The Japanese books that we are publishing with the help of an agency are light read books with small pages, which are easy to read . The translation for those books won't take long . "
"What about Professor Wang's book? Will it take long to translate?"
"That book is more like a scholarly book . The translation will take about two months . "
"I see . Well, I am not familiar with the publishing business, so I am heavily counting on you, President Shin . "
"Thank you . "
Gun-Ho was sitting on his chair in his office, and he was thinking quietly with his eyes closed .

'I formed a publishing company—GH Media—sort of on impulse because I had adequate workers for that business: Jae-Sik and the workers from the design company . I am not sure if the company will generate enough revenue though . I invested 300 million won in that company, and I wonder if that money will vanish in a short period of time . Seukang Li is now the director of the bureau of cultural affairs in Shanghai, China, and he has the power in the field, including publishing books and media . I wonder if there will be an opportunity for me to do something using my connection with him . '
Gun-Ho couldn't think of anything for now, that would bring him some profit using his connection with Seukang Li .
"Well, there is nothing much I can do other than to rely on President Jeong-Sook Shin, who is known to have the hand of Midas in the publishing industry . "
Gun-Ho then chuckled .
"The hand of Midas? The real hand of Midas should be my hand, I suppose . "
Gun-Ho then thought of the joint venture opportunity with Dyeon .
'I am moving my current factory in Asan City to Jiksan Town and establish Dyeon Korea at the current location by investing in kind . Once I form a new company—Dyeon Korea—I will have to invest funds in it again . Would 3 million dollars be enough? Dyeon America probably invested in kind with old equipment and valued it at a high price . '
Gun-Ho continued to think while having a cup of coffee .
'I will tell them that we shouldn't name the company Dyeon Korea . The company will target the entire Asian market . If other companies which buy our products name their company as Dyeon China, Dyeon Indonesia, or Dyeon Taiwan, that would be overwhelming . I will name the company GH Chemical instead . Its products are a sort of synthetic resins; I guess I can add the word 'Chemical' to the company name . The problem is whether those Americans would approve the name—GH Chemical?'

Gun-Ho started having a headache . He wanted to get some fresh air and get some rest . He headed to Dujeong Town in Cheonan City and went into a massage shop behind the Lotte Mart .
"This is so good . I feel so relaxed . "
After having a massage and while he was walking out of the massage shop, Gun-Ho gave a call to Director Yoon who had been working at the new factory construction site in Jiksan Town .
"Why don't we have lunch together today?"
The two men went to a Galbi* restaurant called Gyeongbuk Palace . Money was good . Gun-Ho had nice food all the time, and he could get a massage whenever he felt like it . He was living large .
Gun-Ho received a call from Suk-Ho Lee from Geyongridan Street . It was the first time in a long time .
"You have been busy, right? I am just calling you to hear your voice . "
"How's your honeymoon life? Aren't you having a baby yet?"
"Speaking of which, I decided to expand my business . "
"Expanding to where?"
"I saw a nice place in Itaewon Town . "

"Oh, really? You will do fine since you are good at business . "
"But I am a bit short on funds to expand my bar . Are you willing to invest about 200 million won in my business?"
"Haha . I don't invest in anything; especially between friends . If things go well, that would be great, but if things don't go well, I might lose a friend . I don't risk that . "
"Umm… If you say so…"
"Also, I don't handle funds myself . My company's accounting department handles all financial related matters . "
"What about you personally invest in my business?"
"I don't have personal money . I put everything I had into the company when I bought the company . I am on a payroll just like any other employees . "
"Really? I thought you would invest some in my bar business . "
"I'm sorry that I couldn't . I know it wasn't easy for you to ask me for it . Why don't we have a drink or something?"
"Actually, Won-Chul Jo called me and suggested having a gathering sometime soon . "
"Sure . Let's get together . It has been a while since I saw you guys . "
Once Gun-Ho got off the phone with Suk-Ho, he talked to himself decisively .
"I have more than 200 billion won in my stock account . However, I will never be involved in a personal monetary dealing with anybody . I am sorry but I can't spend my money on anyone even though someone is dying . When I worked at a factory, no one lent me even 100,000 won . Whenever I asked someone to borrow money, they would ask me how come I couldn't even borrow 100,000 won from somewhere else . I will never spend my money on anyone, never ever . "
Gun-Ho then yelled loudly while looking up at the sky,
"I won't spend even a penny to anyone! Never! Ever!"
Several days passed when Gun-Ho received another call from Suk-Ho Lee from Gyeongridan Street again .
"Gun-Ho? I talked with Won-Chul . We will meet at Gangnam Station next Saturday . You are coming, right?"
"Gangnam Station?"
"Yeah . I actually wanted to meet in Itaewon Town, but some of them complained that it wasn't a convenient place for them to come . I think they are all the same: Itaewon Town and Gangnam Station . Don't you think?"
"Oh, that's good . Jae-Sik is working in a publishing company close to Gangnam Station . I will ask him to find a good place for us all to meet around the area . "
"Jae-Sik is working for a publishing company?"
"Yeah . It's a start-up company . He is working as a chief editor there . "
"Really? Well, I received the high school alumni directory book, so does everyone else . I guess he is not a swindler after all . "
"No, he is not at all . He is a very earnest man . You guys just don't know . "
Gun-Ho thought that his high school friends didn't have someone to bully anymore, and they might feel bored by now .
