"Sir, it's Director Kang . "
"Oh, Director Kang . Thank you for picking up those American engineers at the airport and driving them to Asan City yesterday . "
"Sure thing, sir . I should, of course, give any support that I could to any GH companies . I called because I have something that I need to discuss with you, sir . We have received a letter from Seoul City Hall . They said if we make our building's rooftop green like a garden or something, they will subsidize the cost by about 50% . Also, they are willing to pay for the service fee charged by the county office for their security inspection . I'm wondering if we want to apply for it . "
"Have the papers ready . I'm coming to Seoul for another business anyway . I will stop by the office . "
"Sounds good, sir . I will be here . "
It had been a while since Gun-Ho went to his building in Sinsa Town . It seemed that a new security guard was working on the day Gun-Ho visited the building . The security guard didn't recognize Gun-Ho .
"I like this way better . Since he doesn't recognize me, I don't need to be bothered in taking the elevator to my office . "
Gun-Ho headed to his office on the eighteenth floor . When he opened the door, the workers in the office were all surprised and quickly stood up from their seats .
When he entered his office, some fund transfer slips were piled up on his desk waiting for his review and signature . Gun-Ho spent about an hour to review and sign the papers .
"Director Kang, please bring me the letter you received from the city hall the other day . "
Director Kang brought the letter to Gun-Ho .
"Hmm . Is it necessary to build a garden on our rooftop?"
"Well, the tenants in our building will definitely like it . It will provide a pleasant resting area, and it can also deter some undesirable activities going on in the building . For example, many young people in the building smoke around the emergency exit . We can't prevent them from doing so since they are free to do so, but the problem is that many of them just tossed the cigarette butts on the ground after smoking . "

"Hmm . "
"Many of those cigarette butts are not properly extinguished, and they could cause a fire . Some of those people even toss the cigarette butts in the air and let them land on the street . We need something to restrain those activities . "
"So we want to make a garden or even a small park on the rooftop, so the smokers would smoke cigarettes there instead of somewhere inside the building . "
"That's right . "
"Let's go see the rooftop now . "
"Sure, sir . "
Director Kang picked up the key to the rooftop and started walking in front of Gun-Ho .
The metal door leading to the rooftop was locked and there was a sign on the door, saying, "Staff Only . " Once Director Kang opened the door, Gun-Ho could see a huge ventilator with all sorts of junk . Most of them were the leftover materials from the building renovation, such as pieces of timber and Styrofoam .

"I think we can move the ventilator and the power system up, in order to secure more space for the park project . One of the project managers of a construction company visited here the other day, and he said we can have about 150 pyung large park here without getting rid of that ventilator and power system . "
"150 pyung…"
"We can even build a small space for business here like 30 pyung large and rent it out for a small bar business or something . We can still have a 120 pyung large park . "
"Did we get a price quote for the work?"

"Making a building rooftop green usually costs from 500,000 to 600,000 won per pyung . If we want to make it more luxurious with a nice tree or by raising the wall to block the strong wind, then it will cost more . "
"If so, let's say that it costs 100 million won to make the green rooftop that we want, then Seoul City will subsidize 50 million won since that's the 50% of what we spend, right?"
"That's correct . The subsidy includes the safety inspection fee and cost to waterproof . "
"Hmmm . Well, we still have to spend half of the construction price . "
"I think that building a small space on the rooftop for a small bar and renting it out is a good idea . After about three years of renting it, I believe we will be able to recover the cost of the entire rooftop construction . "
"What is the floor space here?"
"It's 270 pyung, sir . And the building to land ratio applicable to our building is 80% . "
"Hmm . I see . I will review it . "
Gun-Ho had lunch with Director Kang at a restaurant nearby Garosugil Road that day, and he came back to Asan City .
Gun-Ho went to the joint venture company in Asan City to see how things were going there .
All machines and equipment were installed, and Director Park was connecting the power and cooling system to them . The production manager stood up and greeted Gun-Ho when he saw Gun-Ho coming into the production field .
"The machines seem to be all in place . "
"We will test the entire production line tomorrow . "

"I know we received the raw materials already . What about chemical materials? Are they ready?"
"Yes, sir . We now have 50 different chemicals in our storage . "
"Once the American engineers from Dyeon America start working on the compound, you will have to take a very good look at them . That's the key to our business . "
"I will keep that in mind, sir . "
"Especially, make sure that you take note of the ratio of the compounds . "
"Yes, sir . "
Gun-Ho then walked up to the second floor where his office was located .
When Director Yoon was told that Gun-Ho was in his office, he came to Gun-Ho's office, carrying the report and papers to be signed with him .
"How are you doing, Director Yoon? I know you used to work outside in the construction field . How is the work in the office?"
"I like it . It's fun . "
"That's good to hear . Are those engineers from Dyeon America still staying in a hotel?"
"No, sir . They already moved to a OneRoom . They are staying in the same building as Mr . Adam Castler . "
"Was the owner okay with the short-term lease? They will only stay there for three months . "
"Yes, since those OneRooms were vacant anyway, he didn't mind renting them for a few months . Moreover, he liked the fact that the tenants are high-level engineers from U . S . , rather than blue-collar foreign labor workers . "
"I see . Well, please make sure to pay the rent on time . A landlord's worst nightmare is receiving the rent not on time . "
"Understood, sir . And, I have something to suggest, sir . "
"What is it?"
"Director Kim is currently giving a ride to the vice president—Mr . Adam Castler—in commuting . Also, the other three engineers are commuting with the general affairs assistant manager . Our company provides them with the cost of gas, but once we get busy, this current commuting setting will become burdensome . I think that we'd better purchase a company car and hire a chauffeur . "
"Hmm . "
"Once we have a chauffeur working for our company, he can be very helpful for you, sir . We all think you drive too much, sir . You are coming back and forth between the factory in Jiksan Town and here in Asan City, and we think you need a chauffeur to drive for you . Since you are young, sir, you might not think it's necessary, but many business owners who have smaller companies than yours have a chauffeur, so they could conserve their energy for the actual business operation work . "
"Hmm . "
"Sometimes, Director Kim comes to work to only pick up Mr . Adam Castler after meeting with a client somewhere else . If he didn't have to give a ride to Mr . Castler, he would have just gone home for the day after the meeting . So, I sometimes give a ride to Mr . Adam Castler for Director Kim . "
"Let's think about hiring a chauffeur . For now, let's rent a car for three months . Let's ask the car rental company to send us a chauffeur as well, who can speak English if possible . As to the car, ask Mr . Adam Castler to choose from Grandeur K7 or SM7 . "
"Yes, sir . "
