“You must have something you want to talk to me about . Please have a seat . ”
Gun-Ho asked the secretary—Ms . Seon-Hye Yee to bring some tea for them .
“How do you like living in Korea so far?”
“It’s good . Everyone including you has been very kind to me . ”
“What would you like to talk to me about today?”
“I’ve just received a call from Dyeon America that they will send an audit team here . ”
“An audit?”
“Upon the completion of their investment-in-kind, Dyeon America sends its people to verify their investment . Their investment-in-kind will be completed when they send machine no . 7 and no . 8 which will be shipped to Busan Port soon . They will check the machines from no . 1 to no . 6 and see if they are all in a good working condition . ”
“Hmm . I think it is a good policy that they have . ”
“In addition to checking the status of the machines, they will also look at the quality of the products that were being produced here . They will evaluate the adequacy of the current number of employees given the current sales revenue . Handling of the revenues and expenses will also be looked at . Oh, they will also check if taxes are properly being paid . ”
“Hmm . How many people should we expect to see?”
“There will be two people . ”
“How long will they stay?”

“Considering the size of the investment in Dyeon Korea, I suppose that the audit will take about two days . ”
“Okay . I will talk to Director Yoon so we can take good care of the audit team with food and accommodation while they stay here in Korea . ”
“Thank you . ”
“Sure thing . ”
“Dyeon America will bear the cost of the auditors’ flight, but they expect Dyeon Korea takes care of the cost of their stay here . ”
“Of course . Will do . ”
“Thank you . ”
After Mr . Adam Castler left the office, Director Kim came in .
“I just saw Mr . Adam Castler walking out of your office . What was it about?”
“He said that the auditors will be here . ”
“The auditors?”
“Lymondell Dyeon is sending their auditors here . ”
“I guess they want to check how things go here since their portion of the investment is almost complete . I just received a fax from them that they shipped machine no . 7 and no . 8 . ”

“We will need to cooperate with them once they get here . They are our business partners . They are doing it because they want Dyeon Korea to succeed . ”
“Yes, sir . Once the machine no . 7 and no . 8 arrive, Director Yoon will go to Busan Port with the production manager and the maintenance manager, just like last time . ”
“Since Egnopak is buying more raw materials from us, our sales revenue must be going up by now . ”
“Yes . Our sales revenue was about 2 billion won, and now it exceeded 2 . 5 billion won . ”
“That will make our annual sales revenue 30 billion won . ”
“As a matter of fact, Mr . Adam Castler was surprised by our sales revenue . According to him, we are the first joint venture with Dyeon America, which made 30,000,000 dollars in the first year . He was amazed by the power of the Korean market . ”
“Really?”
“So, I told him that it’s not about the Korean market but it’s about our company’s sales tactics and ability . I told him the story about how you met with Egnopak’s president and negotiated with him to bring more business to our company . He said that this is again the first joint venture where its president does sales work himself . And he recorded all in his weekly report . ”
“Haha, really? Actually, Director Kim, you did a great job . I didn’t actually do much…”
“Maybe Dyeon Korea will go public before GH Mobile does . ”
“Maybe . That seems to be possible . ”
“We hired twelve workers . The orientation will be held tomorrow . Since you are going to Seoul tomorrow, I guess the new hires won’t meet you at their orientation . ”
“Let them start working . I can meet them on Thursday . ”

“Yes, sir . ”
“Are we getting the company uniform from the same store where GH Mobile is getting theirs?”
“Yes, sir . We just change the company logo on it . ”
“Do you think the cooking lady can handle the cafeteria by herself? We will have more workers joining us soon . ”
“I think she will handle fine for now . But, I think we will need to hire one more security guard . We have tons of raw materials stored in the facility . Director Yoon will bring you the approval request for it . ”
“Sounds good . ”
Since Gun-Ho was commuting from Seoul, he got off work early, around 4 pm on the days when he worked in Dyeon Korea . If he left for his home in Seoul later than 4 pm, he would be stuck in heavy traffic around Yangjae Town even though he took a highway . When it was 4 pm, Gun-Ho walked out of his office carrying a newspaper with him, that he didn’t finish that day .
“I will read it in the car . It’s really nice that I can read a newspaper on the way home since Chan-Ho is now driving for me . Where is he by the way?”
Gun-Ho looked around . He couldn’t find Chan-Ho Eom . Gun-Ho asked the general affairs manager who was passing by Gun-Ho’s office .
“Have you seen Chan-Ho Eom? He doesn’t even pick up his phone . ”
“I saw him at the production team . ”
When Gun-Ho went to the production team, he saw Chan-Ho staring at a machine while crouching down on the floor .
“Chan-Ho, what are you doing there?”
“Oh, Mr . President!”
Chan-Ho stood up quickly from his crouching position and ran to the Bentley . He quickly brought the car in front of the building entrance .
When the car was passing by the seawalls in Asan City, Gun-Ho asked Chan-Ho,
“Chan-Ho Eom! Are you interested in working in the production worksite?”
“Oh, no, no . I was just watching it . It was interesting . I don’t think I can work at the production site . I will have to stay in one place all day long, right? I don’t think I can handle it . I love driving . While I drive, I can look at a lot of things like seawalls over there . And, when you don’t use your car, I can even take a nap . ”
“Are you sure? I guess you like driving then . Do you have a girlfriend?”
“Nah, I don’t . Tae-Young bro doesn’t have one either . ”
“Is Tae-Young’s security staffing company doing well?”
“He seems to have difficulty in running the company . People like me and Tae-Young bro don’t know anything much other than using our body since we have been exercising in our entire life . It’s really hard to change our career even if we want to . ”
“Hmm, really? How much do you get paid by working at the bar in Hannam Town?”
“I don’t know . Tae-Young bro takes care of any monetary matter for us . Four of us work for that bar in Hannam Town . The work itself is easy and comfortable . We go to work at 6 pm and stay there showing customers the way to their room, and we get off work at 10 pm . We sometimes have to drive customers’ cars if they are too drunk to drive . But usually, we are off work at 10 pm . The bar provides us dinner too . You know the aunt is very nice . ”
“Aunt? You mean Ms . Jang?”
“Yes, Ms . Jang . We call her aunt . ”
