Chapter 285: 285
"I was so amazed by the executives' passion and insight . It's not something you can learn overnight, but I could see that they have been in the field for a long time . I guess they deserve to be in an executive position in the company . "

"You think so?"
"They are amazing, but you are incredible as well, President Goo . You are leading those people . I was extremely impressed today by those executives and you—their leader . "
"Me… I am just trying to keep the balance between them . "
"By the way, Jong-Suk will have a hard time doing things to satisfy those knowledgeable executives . What did they say? My Machine program? Hahaha . "
"Are you having fun? Why don't you introduce that program to the factory in China, so you can continuously have fun there?"
Min-Hyeok's face suddenly hardened when Gun-Ho suggested him to start the My Machine program in China .
"Is there anything you want to talk to me about? Anything I can help with the factory in China?"
"I just need President Song in China, so I can visit S Group's factories there with him . His presence will be very helpful in selling our products to S Group . If we could make a contract with S Group, our sales revenue will go up dramatically . "
"If you could get orders from S Group, can you handle the volume of the products they would order?"
"That's… I am thinking of making a request to the research center here for our products in China . We don't have enough workers there to handle it . "
"I will ask President Song to visit China as soon as we finalize things here . "
"I really appreciate it . "
"By the way, Professor Jien Wang is coming to Korea today . "
"To Korea?"
"Yes, Seoul National University is hosting a symposium, and Professor Wang will do a presentation there . "
"Is he coming here too?"
"He will, and we will play golf together, and Attorney Young-Jin Kim from Kim & Jeong Law Firm will join us . "
"Really?"

"When you have time, learn how to play golf . It's useful to know . You will need it someday . "
"Actually, the president of the window manufacturing company asked me to play golf with him the other day, and I couldn't because I don't know how to play golf . I've never even touched golf clubs before . "
"I strongly recommend you to learn it . Take some lessons and pay for it with the company credit card . "
Secretary Hee-Jeong Park brought two cups of coffee to Gun-Ho's office .
When are your parents moving to the new condo in Seoul?"
"They will move on the fifth of this month . We paid off the remaining balance yesterday . "
"They must be very happy . "
"Don't get me started . We went to the new condo yesterday, and when my mom saw the empty condo, she was so excited . She kept asking me if it is really ours, and she even danced in the living room . "
"Haha . Really?"
"My mom didn't even want to redo the wallpaper; she said it still looks really clean . But I insisted on doing the wallpaper and redoing the bathroom . I already selected the interior design company and scheduled for the work . My younger brother joined us to the condo after work, and he was so excited too . "
"Really?"
"My younger brother said that since our parents will live in a condo like that, he thinks he can find someone to marry more quickly . "
"I must have met your brother before, but I don't really remember him . "
"He was not a very good student when he was in school . He studied in a community college and obtained a level-1 license as an electrician . He entered a good company though, and the company owner values him and recognizes his competence at work . "
"You said he is working for a company that is doing subcontracting work for Korea Electric Power Corporation, right?"
"Yeah . The company's name is Ilsin Electricity . The company has been around for a long time, according to my brother . Do you know what my brother said about me?"
"What did he say?"

"He said, I became successful in my career because I have a good friend . "
"Haha . He is silly . "
"He said that just because I have a good friend, I was able to become a president of a company in China, and I could get married and live in a luxurious condo in China, and also, we could purchase a 30 pyung large condo in Incheon City . He said that he wouldn't be able to do the same if it was him . "
"Haha . Your brother is funny . "
"Actually, what he said was all true . I do have a good friend . After the wedding in Incheon City, I am going to focus all my energy on making GH Parts Company in China grow . I was so worried about my parents, but now they are settled, and I am very happy . "
"Did those people from Dandong Economic Development Zone contact you again?"
"Yes, once . They were asking if I had a chance to discuss their suggestion with you . They invited us at Dandong Economic Development Zone . "
"You are going back to China today, aren't you?"
"Yeah . I'm taking the five o'clock flight . "
"Well, you'd better hurry up then . You should get ready . I guess you won't be able to have lunch with our executives today before you leave . "
"Right . I am leaving, friend . I will talk to Jong-Suk downstairs before I head out . "
"Okay . Keep up the good work . I will see you at your wedding in Incheon after a month . "
It was five o'clock and Gun-Ho was getting ready to go home . Gun-Ho always tried to get off work at five to make other workers feel more comfortable . If he stayed late at work, other employees felt very uncomfortable leaving the work until Gun-Ho left for home .
Gun-Ho was heading to the parking lot when he saw Jong-Suk nearby the company restaurant . Jong-Suk looked exhausted .
"Bro, are you going home?"
"You look so tired . "
"I have to stay up late today . Why don't you join me for dinner before going home?"
"You have so much work to do?"

"Yeah . I had to take care of that My Machine thing . I implemented the plan in detail with the production department's managers and team leaders and placed the tags on every machine . It took a lot of time . "
"Really? You are doing fine . "
"Well, now I think it is a good program . The problem is whether we can maintain it as a system for a long time . "
"Okay, keep up the good work . You are the plant manager; you should be able to handle all sorts of situations . "
"My life became so exhausting after the previous plant manager retired . "
"Because you work so hard, people don't talk bad behind your back like you are too young to be a plant manager or something . "
"That's because you are behind my back, bro . "
"Oh, Min-Hyeok said he wanted to talk to you before he left for China . Did you have a chance to see him earlier?"
"Yes . "
"Did you guys talk about something fun?"
"Nah . He wanted to know more about the My Machine program . He made a note and observed us have a discussion about the program . "
"Really?"
"He said he wanted to apply the My Machine program to the factory in China too . He asked me to take some pictures of machine tags and our daily journal once we actually start the program . "
"Really?"
Gun-Ho didn't say anything further and just smiled .
"Okay . Good work, Jong-Suk . I am going home now . "
"Okay . Safe drive, bro . "
Gun-Ho was watching TV in his home in Buldang Town, Cheonan City after work when he received a phone call from Jien Wang .
"Hey, Jien Wang . Are you at the Incheon International Airport?"
"No . I arrived earlier . I am in the dormitory at Seoul National University . "
"You sound like you already had a drink, huh?"
"Yeah . I had a few drinks with the professors here at Seoul National University . "
"You know Seoul National University is the top university in Korea, right? So those professors are the most intelligent and the most knowledgeable people in this country . "
"Intelligent my as* . They are not special at all . They are all the same . "
"Well, the professors at Seoul National University are one of the most respected people in Korea . "
"They are just scholars . Professors don't make much money, and they don't have any political power or anything like that . "
"Professors are not supposed to go after money or power . "
"They shouldn't, right? But there are always people who do what they are not supposed to do whether in China or in Korea . "
"Haha . I think you drank too much, friend . Go to sleep . You are coming here the day after tomorrow, right? I've already made an arrangement for our golf appointment . "
"You said the golf course is close to your factory, right?"
"Yes, it is . It's called Sangrok Country Club . I reserved for 27 holes for us . It is operated by the National Pension Service of Korea, and their green fee is not expensive at all . "
"Pension? Is it like Yanglao Jin in China?"
"That's right . "
"Okay, Gun-Ho . Thank you . You are indeed my friend, and I am so proud of you . "
