"I like this factory . It looks very well built . "
After they looked around at the factory yard, they walked up to the second floor where the president's office was located . Gun-Ho was so happy to see them .
"Hey, Jien Wang!"
"Gun-Ho Goo! It's really good to see you, friend . "
"Long time no see, Attorney Kim . Have a seat . "
After having a handshake, the three men finally sat on chairs .
"So, you are done with the symposium?"
"Yes, I came straight here to see you, Gun-Ho, after the symposium . "
"I know Attorney Kim came here once when we had the building dedication ceremony, but this must be your first time here, right, Jien Wang?"
"I took a quick glance of the factory on the way up to your office . I know I came here before, but the factory looks different somehow . "
"You haven't been to the production field yet, have you?"
"No, I haven't yet . "
"Maybe you can have a tour of the factory first before we leave to play golf . "
Gun-Ho made a call to Jong-Suk Park and asked him to come to his office .
Jong-Suk Park soon came to Gun-Ho's office . He was wearing the GH Mobile uniform .

"This is our plant manager . "
"Oh, Chang Zhang (factory manager)!"
Jien Wang extended his hand to Jong-Suk for a handshake .
"I think I have seen this person before . "
"Probably so, since he is a very good friend of mine . He is like a brother to me . Jong-Suk, please give my two friends here on a tour of our factory . "
Jong-Suk took Professor Jien Wang and Attorney Young-Jin Kim to his daily workplace—the production field .
When the workers in the production field saw two men in a business suit coming to the worksite while following their plant manager, they thought Professor Wang and Attorney Kim were the investigators from a buyer company to check their factory . And they got busy cleaning the worksite by organizing incomplete products and moving the defective products somewhere that wasn't so obvious .
After observing the products pouring out of extruding machines and molding machines, Jien Wang nodded his head .
"Gun-Ho Goo is indeed an incredible man . "
The machines in the factory were being maintained extremely clean; thanks to My Machine program . The machines were placed in a very well organized way, and the factory overall was neat and clean .
"I can't believe this factory maintains the cleanliness to this level . I haven't seen a factory this clean in China . "
Attorney Young-Jin Kim was interpreting for Professor Jien Wang . Whenever Jong-Suk Park explained about the production system, Attorney Kim interpreted it into Chinese for Professor Wang . The production workers, who were paying attention to the visitors, were wondering as they saw them speaking in English .
"They are speaking in English . They are not the investigators from our customer companies then . Are they Korean Americans?"
"It seems like . "

The workers were interested in the visitors to their worksite .
Jien Wang took out his smartphone to take some pictures of the factory when Jong-Suk stopped him .
"Taking a picture is not allowed in our factory . I am sorry about it . If you really need to do so, you need to get permission from President Goo first . "
"Oh, I'm sorry . I didn't know that . "
Professor Jien Wang put his smartphone back to his pocket .
After taking a tour of the production field, they went back to the second floor to Gun-Ho's office .
"How was it?"
"Wow . I couldn't believe what I saw . It was so clean . I think I need to send some of the Chinese factory owners here to learn . "
"I am sure Chinese factories are clean enough too . "
"I'm serious . I was very impressed . The business owners in China should learn from you . "
"Shall we head to the country club now?"
"Sounds good . "
Gun-Ho took Jien Wang and Young-Jin Kim to Sangrok Country Club . It was located very close to his GH Mobile factory in Jiksan Town .
"So, this is the country club that is operated by the National Pension Service of Korea, huh?"
When Jien Wang recalled what he heard from Gun-Ho about Sangrok Country Club, Attorney Young-Jin Kim was surprised .

"Jien Wang! You seem to know more about things in Korea than me . "
"Nah . Gun-Ho Goo told me the other day . "
While Gun-Ho and Young-Jin brought their own golf clubs, Jien Wang had to borrow a full set of golf gear including golf gloves and golf shoes . Gun-Ho paid for everything with a credit card, including a golf cart and golf caddies .
"Gun-Ho Goo, you are spending money again for us . "
"That's okay . I'm using my company credit card . "
Gun-Ho waved the credit card as he said so .
"This is what I like about a businessman . Many professors are not so cool when it comes to payment for anything . "
The golf course was not busy at all since it was a weekday .
Attorney Young-Jin Kim was very good at golfing as expected while Gun-Ho Goo and Jien-Wang made frequent mistakes in hitting the golf ball . They often made over par .
"Let's take a break . It has been a while since the last time I played golf . I feel tired already . Why don't we take a rest at the Shade House over there?"
"Sure . "
The Shade House in the forest had a great view of the golf course . The three men had fruit beverages while looking at the view .
"Attorney Kim, are you playing golf like everyday? You can't be this good otherwise . "
"Haha . I just started playing golf at an early age when I was in school . I used to play golf with my dad when I was little . "
"I see . No wonder why people from a wealthy family usually play golf very well . "
"Aren't you from a wealthy family too, Jien Wang? You studied in the U . S . at Yale University . It must cost a lot to travel from China to the U . S . and study there . I thought you could do so because of your family's stable financial support . "
"Not necessarily . My father is a college professor just like me . I could study abroad because the Zhejiang government granted me a scholarship . We shouldn't talk about who has more money in front of Gun-Ho Goo . He is the richest among us . The god of wealth seems to be attached to Gun-Ho only . "
Gun-Ho was thinking while having his beverage .
'That's right . I am the man with ShinWangJaeWang fate . '
"I wish Seukang Li is here with us today . "
"Yeah . Oh, Seukang Li asked me how you are doing . He said he wants to meet you, Gun-Ho . "
"Me? Why?"
"As you know, Seukang Li is in charge of the bureau of cultural affairs and media . His office is hosting a book exhibition in Shanghai, and he said a lot of publishing companies from other countries participated in it, and that helped his work a lot . He heard that you, President Goo, have a publishing company called GH Media . He wants you to come and join him in the book exhibition . "
"GH Media usually publishes American or Japanese books after translating into the Korean language . I don't think we have any books we can participate in the book exhibition in Shanghai with . "
"What about you publishing Chinese books?"
"President Jeong-Sook Park of GH Media said she doesn't do Chinese books because they are not very popular . "
"I see . That makes sense . I was told that they stopped printing out my book after the second edition . Chinese books are not very fun to read, even for me . But I want to help Seukang Li in some way…"
Gun-Ho recalled the fact that Seukang Li helped GH Parts Company's business by introducing a window manufacturing company to Min-Hyeok Kim . And that increased the company's sales revenue . Gun-Ho wanted to help Seukang Li as well .
"Well, I guess I can still participate in his book exhibition . "
"Seukang Li will be very happy if you can just participate . "
