In the morning, Gun-Ho went to Cheongdam Town to see Chairman Lee for the breakfast appointment he made with him yesterday .

"I was waiting for you . "
Chairman Lee looked haggard, maybe because of the liquor he consumed last night .
"I know a good place for a blowfish hangover soup . They are really good . "
Chairman Lee brought Gun-Ho to a roadside restaurant in Cheongdam Town . The restaurant was already filled with a lot of people even though it was early morning time . It was a large and busy restaurant . The blowfish hangover soup that Chairman Lee ordered came out . Frankly, it looked unsavory, but once Gun-Ho tried it, he was surprised . The taste was actually very good .
"Do you come to this restaurant often, sir?"
"I do come here from time to time . How is it? Is it good?"
"Yes, it's very good . "
"I always like their blowfish soup every time I come here . "
Manager Kang who came along with Chairman Lee seemed to enjoy the soup as well .
"So, you said you are interested in the building in Sinsa Town, right?"
"Well, yes . I am more likely curious about a building in that size for now . "
"The land is 240 pyung, and the total floor space of the building is 4,200 pyung . It's a 19-floor building . It is a newly constructed building . "

"What about its location?"
"You want to visit that location? I will draw a map for you if you want to go there . It's on the main road and hard to miss it . There are a bank and a large coffee shop chain occupied on its ground floor . The building brings good profit . "
"There must be a garage too . "
"Of course . The building has up to basement 4 . "
"How much money would be required to acquire a building like that?"
"It depends on how much money you can borrow from a bank . The building is worth 200 billion won, so if you can get a loan 80% of its value, you would need 40 billion won . "
Before Gun-Ho responded to the amount of money that Chairman Lee suggested, Manager Kang who was having his blowfish soup next to Gun-Ho was frightened .
"Huh? 40 billion won?"
"It's hard to find an individual who has 40 billion won in cash . A large company probably has that much fund; however, a company has to be careful in purchasing a building . It will draw the media's and the government tax office's attention; they would want to know whether the building would be used for business . "
"I just want to take a look at the building . "
"You have 40 billion won? I guess you do have 40 billion won . You made a lot of money so far . "
Manager Kang's jaw dropped and he looked at Gun-Ho .
"I don't have that much cash . If I gather everything from here and there, I might though . "

"I can introduce the building owner— President Park to you . He is a Scrooge though . "
"No, no, sir . I don't have that much money now . I hope I could save that kind of fund in the near future . "
"Okay, here is the map I just drew . It's really easy to find the building . There are two elevators in the building . You can have your own little tour by yourself from the first floor to the 18th floor . There are more than 50 businesses currently running in that building . "
"I will stop by the building before I drive down to Jiksan Town, Cheonan today . I have to get back to work . "
"Of course . You built a new factory and you have to work harder in the new building . "
Gun-Ho arrived at the building in Sinsa Town .
"Hmmm . The curb appeal is magnificent . They must renovate the building not long ago . "
Gun-Ho entered the building . A security guard was sitting at the entrance . There is a building directory board that was listing every current business occupied in the building .
"All kinds of businesses are here . There is a construction company and a travel agency . Oh, an entertainment company is here too . There is an accountant's office…"
Gun-Ho took a cursory look at the inside building from the basement garage to the 18th floor .

Gun-Ho came back to his office in Jiksan Town after his brief trip to the building in Sinsa Town .
"Seoul is too busy for me . "
Gun-Ho stretched himself while sitting at a large president's office on the second floor of the new factory .
The general affairs manager entered Gun-Ho's office .
"We have completed the hiring process to fill the vacancies in the production field . All of the new employees are in their 20s or 30s . We didn't place an age limit for the positions during the hiring process, but most of the applicants were young people . "
"Hmm . Really?"
"We also tried to hire people who live close to our factory . Since our factory is located nearby the Jiksan subway station, many people from the area such as Pyeongtaek City, Osan City, and Suwon City applied for the job . "
"The placement has been completed as well?"
"Yes . We are done with the placement, and they will all be here today for orientation . We will distribute uniforms to the new workers and will give them safety instructions and other necessary information regarding the production field today . "
"Hmm . "
"Why don't we schedule your meeting with them tomorrow morning around 9 am? Since today is their first day, I expect it to be disorderly and they will be mentally busy too . We can have a welcoming ceremony tomorrow and you can meet with them there, sir . I will arrange for our directors and manager to be there too . It will be the new workers' official first day of work . "
"That sounds good . "
"I heard our previous lady workers who decided to quit the job because of the distance to commute after we moved to the new location, they are regretting their decision . "
"Why?"
"First, it's hard to find another job, and also once they saw our new factory, they loved our advanced factory . And they figured that the distance to our new location wasn't that bad as they initially thought since we have a subway station nearby and we provide a commuter shuttle service . "
"Well, they made their decision and they left our company . They can't come back now . The company shouldn't allow them to take back their old jobs just because they changed their mind . "
"Right . I told them they can't revoke their resignation now . Moreover, we already hired new workers . "
"What is the retirement age for the workers in the production field?"
"It's the same age as office workers . It's the age of 58 . "
"You have to make sure we comply with the policy . There is a reason why those policies were implemented in the first place . "
"Yes, sir . "
"Let's try not to lay our workers off just because our company needs to go through the restructuring process in the future until they reach their retirement age . That's how we give them the feeling of job security and it will boost their loyalty to the company and strongly devote to our company . "
"You are absolutely right, sir . "
After the general affairs manager left the office, Gun-Ho took out his electronic calculator and started calculating something .
