"I thought you were running a manufacturing company, sir . That's what I read from your business card . Did I misunderstand?"
"You are correct . I spend half of my week in the manufacturing company in Jiksan Town, Cheonan City, and I stay here in this building for the remaining half of the week . "
"I saw the sign on the office door on our way here . It says GH Development . Is it the management company of this building?"
"You can say that . Let's not talk about me anymore . Let's talk about why you are here to see me . "
"We couldn't do our performance in the fall of last year in Shanghai . Our management company planned the event . It was a shame . "
"I see . "
"So I want to try it again in the spring of this year in Shanghai . You and the director of the bureau of cultural affairs and art—Seukang Li—are close . I am here to ask you to help us get permission to do the performance there . "
"China has its own policy and regulation . It's not something I can help you with . I have nothing further to talk with you about . "
"China values personal connections, and they are very powerful since they make things work . We will pay you for it, sir . It is for the benefits of our country too . "
"Director Li is not those types of person, who would do something because he gets paid . "
"Sir, please help us . "
"I already told you it's not something I can help you with . "
Gun-Ho sounded annoyed, and the entertainment company's manager couldn't ask a favor again .
"If you happen to have a chance to talk to him, please consider talking about our situation . It's like an exporting service to China . We will make money there, and that gives benefits to our country . "

"It's almost time for me to go back to my country . I wanted to say goodbye to you yesterday, sir, but you were not here . "
"Oh, time flies . "
"Manager Park now can handle the product manufacturing and simple machine repairing work on his own . "
"I was feeling confident when you were here with us, Mr . Sakata Ikuzo . We will miss you . The internal auditor will give you your incentive tomorrow for the successful new product development . We truly appreciate your hard work here . "
"Thank you . "
"Once you reserve your flight, please let me know . I want to have dinner with you and with the workers here who worked with you . "
"Thank you, sir . "
Gun-Ho received a letter from Mr . Brandon Burke—the vice president of Lymondell Dyeon in Seattle . Gun-Ho asked the new secretary who he hired a few days ago to translate the letter . The secretary translated the letter immediately and sent it to Gun-Ho via Kakaotalk .
[Our company's foreign investment committee decided to start a joint venture with GH Mobile in Korea . We will arrange a meeting with GH Mobile to sign the official contract on the 26th of this month . Please have the GH Mobile's president and the person in charge come to our company in Seattle . ]
"She is so quick . It's very convenient to have a secretary who can speak English . "
Gun-Ho gave a call to Attorney Young-Jin Kim at Kim & Jeong Law Office .
"Hey, we received the letter . "
"What letter?"

"The letter from Lymondell Dyeon . They said they will start a joint venture with us, and they are asking us to come to Seattle to make a contract . "
"Really? Congratulations . "
Gun-Ho convened a provisional meeting to share the news with the directors and managers of GH Mobile .
"We finally received a letter from Lymondell Dyeon to make a contract for a joint venture . "
"Wow . So we are really doing it . "
They all seemed delighted .
Gun-Ho showed the letter that was written in English to them . Director Yoon started reading the letter thoroughly .
"Director Yoon, let's get the infrastructure construction work on our land in Asan City started . We will have to find a construction company to build our factory too . "
"One second, sir . "
The internal auditor stopped Gun-Ho .
"Before we sign on the actual contract, we shouldn't start building the factory . The cost for the infrastructure construction work has to be borne by the joint venture once it is established . If we start the construction now, GH Mobile will have to bear the cost . "
"Hmm . That makes sense . Okay, then, Director Yoon, why don't you get some price quotes for the construction? I will go to a bank and see if I can get a loan for the factory construction . "
"Maybe we should talk with our major bank—Gangnam bank in Seoul?"
"We already have a huge loan with Gangnam Bank . I will talk with a local bank in Asan City if they are willing to lend some funds to us . "
"Sounds good, sir . "
"Also, I think maybe we want to get a new appraisal for our factory in Jiksan Town . "
"We already have it, sir . "

"That's not for our new factory though . I believe the appraised value should be different now since we built a new factory here . "
"Oh, so you want to get a higher appraisal and get a loan based on the new appraised value . "
"Exactly . "
Gun-Ho made a phone call to Min-Hyeok Kim in China .
"We will start a joint venture with Lymondell Dyeon . "
"Really? So it is confirmed . "
"They want to make a contract on the 26th of this month . "
"That's nice . Our storage is empty now . I want to pile up our products there as soon as possible and sell them in China, nationwide . "
"Haha . You will soon be able to do that . "
"Did your parents visit you in China already?"
"Yeah . They went back to Korea last week . "
"How was the meeting with your fiancée's parents?"
"It was good . We had the meeting at a hotel . If we were in Korea, we would have to meet in a restaurant, but I managed to do it in a hotel because we are in China . "
"Were your parents satisfied?"
"Both parents were happy . My wife studied in the U . S . , and her parents are artists . My parents loved them . My father was a bus driver . I wouldn't be able to meet someone like her if I was in Korea . "
"Right . People in Korea prefer for their child to meet someone with a similar family background . Well, congratulations, Min-Hyeok . It's really nice that both parents were content . "
"Yeah . Thank you . "
It was Saturday . Gun-Ho didn't go to Seoul, but he stayed in Onyang Town and enjoyed a hot spring bath in Onyang Hot Spring Hotel . After the hot spring bath, he wanted to have some cold beer .
"I want a company to enjoy beer today . Maybe I should call Jong-Suk . Even though it's Saturday, he is probably at work . He usually stays there on Saturday morning . "
Gun-Ho called Manager Jong-Suk Park .
"Jong-Suk? It's me . When are you going to Seoul?"
"Tomorrow . I am still in Jiksan Town . I have to repair the extruding machine in no . 4 line . "
"Okay . When you are done, come to Onyang Hot Spring Hotel . Let's have some beer together . "
Jong-Suk Park came to Onyang Hot Spring Hotel around 5 pm . He was still wearing the company uniform . He probably came straight from work .
"Did you repair the machine?"
"Yeah . "
"You are not going to Incheon City to see your parents?"
"The traffic is so heavy on Saturdays . I will probably leave for Incheon City tomorrow morning . "
"Oh, I see . "
"I'm going to have a cigarette . I will be back . "
"Let's go together . Let me have one too . "
Gun-Ho and Jong-Suk walked out of Onyang Hot Spring Hotel . When Jong-Suk took out a pack of cigarettes, several men that looked like gangsters surrounded Gun-Ho and Jong-Suk .
