Gun-Ho asked for the chief officer of the research center .
“Please select two smart engineers at the research center . We will send them to Dyeon to receive training on chemical compounds . ”
“Can I select someone who is currently working in another department?”
“Sure . It doesn’t matter . We just need people who have great potential to be one of the top engineers . ”
“I suppose we also need to consider whether the person would stay with us for the long-term . We don’t want to train someone who would leave the company soon . ”
“Hmm . ”
“If the person left for one of our competitor companies either in Korea or in China after he receives necessary training from Dyeon and gains relevant work experience after he returns to our company, then that could incur a tremendous loss to our company . ”
“You’re right . We will need to take that into account as well in selecting the engineers for the training . ”
“The new chief officer is coming to work next Monday . I will consider this task as my last work here as a research center’s chief officer before I hand over my work to the new chief officer . ”

“Is the plant manager coming here soon?”
“He will join you a month later because Jong-Suk won’t be here for a month for his training, so we need the plant manager during Jong-Suk’s absence . ”
“I am hoping to have him here as soon as possible . We have many machines and equipment that require his attention and care . ”
“Once the plant manager joins you, make sure the workers in China learn a lot of things from him . ”
“I know . I already told them to get ready . ”
“Once Dyeon Korea’s factory is completed, you will need to form a separate entity to handle the sales of Dyeon Korea’s products . Well, I think you’d better start preparing now . You will have a stock option of 5% for the new sales company, of course . ”
“Thank you . ”
“We don’t say that between friends . ”
“Oh, I am getting married next month in Shanghai in a Chinese style . If you could come, I would really appreciate it . ”
“And you will have another wedding in Korea, too?”
“Yes, we will have a wedding in Incheon, too . I have relatives and my parents’ friends to invite to our wedding . ”
“You are lucky enough to have two weddings . I am so envious of you . ”
“You don’t have to . It is a very tiring process . ”
“That is happy tiring . Well, I gotta go . ”
As Gun-Ho anticipated, Egnopak’s president came to see him in person . He brought four people with him, including the in-house attorney who was leading Egnopak’s legal team .
Egnopak’s president—Seung-Gak Kim—looked around Gun-Ho’s new factory in Jiksan Town, and he said,
“The factory is larger than I expected, and it is very neat . Well, it’s not bad at all . ”

“President Kim, sir . ”

“Is President Gun-Ho Goo in the office?”
“Yes, he is . We received a call from Egnopak’s secretary’s office that you will be visiting us, so President Gun-Ho Goo is expecting you . ”
