Gun-Ho established a transportation company with investment funds of 300 million won which was part of the sales proceeds that he made by selling his condo in Buldang Town, Cheonan City . He had sold that condo since he didn’t have to live in Cheonan City anymore; now he was staying in Seoul .

The full name of the business was GH Logistics Corporation .

He spent 120 million won in acquiring the existing transportation company in Paju City after negotiating the price with its owner . The price included two freight trucks and one forklift truck . They were all old and shabby . These trucks wouldn’t worth even 5 million won . The forklift truck seemed to be more than ten years old .

The owner was renting a storage space with a security deposit of 30 million won, but he installed metal-framed bookshelves inside the storage in order to effectively store books . The owner wanted Gun-Ho to pay for the bookshelves along with the list of his current clients . So, Gun-Ho paid 120 million for everything that the owner listed .

The landowner where the storage was situated was a farmer in the area . The workers there were from the same area as well . There was a small office inside the storage .

“GH Media’s design team leader—Ms . Min-Sook Oh—made your business card for this logistics company . And the business card came out really nice . But I feel sorry for you that you have to work in this shabby office for now . ”

“It’s okay . This is just a start, right? I will be the president of this company . I can’t believe it . I actually like this place better than the office in GH Media in Mapo District . Here, the air is fresh and I’m surrounded by nature instead of buildings . I guess I will have to drive the truck myself for a while until we make enough money to hire someone . ”

“You can hire one truck driver now . ”

“I don’t think we can afford to hire a worker yet . ”

“You can’t expect to make money in the first year when you start a business . Just hire one worker who can assist you . You will start this business with some investment funds, and you can take your salary from there for a while . ”

“Are you sure I can do that…?”

“Sure . And, because this is a registered business entity, you will have some paperwork to do to file with the government regularly, such as taxes and Four Major Public Insurance . If you need help in doing so, you can contact GH Media at any time . ”

“Sure, I will do that . ”

“Get two freight trucks, one for 1-ton and one for 4-ton . Post a job opening for a truck driver who is currently residing in the Asan City area . Once you get them all, send the trucks and the driver to Dyeon Korea . Director Yoon there is managing those kinds of things . He will help you make a work contract . ”

“How much should I ask in making the contract?”

“Do the math . Add the truck driver’s labor cost, any expenses related to maintaining the trucks, and also some profits . You probably want to conduct some research on a logistics company’s business . You might want to talk with this company’s previous owner as well about the reasonable profit you can expect given the current situation and etc . ”

“I see . You’re right . I can start by contacting the previous owner and learn more about the business . ”

“I will leave the company’s bank book and stamp with you . The shareholders of this company are you and I . I own 100% of the company shares now, but I will give you the stock option of 5% based on your work performance . That’s what Min-Hyeok Kim is getting for the company in China as well . ”

“You are giving me the stock option of 5%?”

“Min-Hyeok Kim has been working so hard this year . I expect him to receive about 100 million won from it at the end of this year . ”

“Wow! 100 million won!”

“That’s how Min-Hyeok Kim purchased his condo in Juan Town—Hyundai HomeTown—with a loan from a bank . I believe it’s a 32 pyung large condo . His parents are living there right now . ”

“Really?”

“President Jeong-Sook Shin in GH Media where you used to work is getting her 5% stock option as well . She is working so hard as well . I’m sure that her next art exhibition with the French artist—Marion Kinsky—will succeed . ”

“Hmm . ”

Jae-Sik seemed to be lost in thought for a second while rubbing his chin .

“Min-Hyeok Kim, President Jeong-Sook Shin, and GH Mobile’s President Song, they all have the stock option, so they don’t really work for me . Technically, they are my business partners . So, what do you think, Jae-Sik?! You can work as my business partner as well . ”

Jae-Sik didn’t say anything, but he certainly looked excited .

“President Song in GH Mobile has spent tens of years of his life in the management of a company . He knows what and how to get things that he wants . I believe that once GH Mobile goes public, he will make several billions of won . ”

“Several billions!”

Jae-Sik’s eyes were shining with excitement .

The news about the solo art exhibition of French artist—Ms . Marion Kinsky—was placed in several newspapers . Newspapers usually talked positively about any cultural events . Newspapers including the three major newspapers—Chosun, Joongang, and Donga Ilbo—placed a very nice article in their newspapers about the art exhibition .

“The art exhibition will be held in GH Gallery . Where is GH Gallery? Is it in Insa Town?”

“No, it’s in Gangnam District . You will see the gallery at the entrance of Garosugil Road . ”

People seemed to believe that if they know and enjoy French arts, then they would be considered as intelligent and elegant . It seemed that more people came to see French artworks than the last time with Chinese young avant-garde artworks . After making his round at the art gallery, Gun-Ho came back to his car and he said,

“I don’t know about others, but for me, those paintings are so confusing, and they even make me feel dizzy . It’s like someone spilled a bunch of paint on a canvas, and they say the artist expressed some human desire by it or something . But I don’t see at all what the artist is trying to say by those paintings . ”

“Me too, sir . ”

Chan-Ho Eom who was sitting in the driver’s seat totally agreed with Gun-Ho .

One week after the French art exhibition opened its door, Gun-Ho received a text message from Seol-Bing .

[I’m going to stop by the art gallery tonight around 8 pm . ]

→ [Really? I will be at the gallery waiting for you then . I will be holding the gallery key . ]

The art gallery closed the door at 7 pm . The secretary—Ms . Yeong-Soo Oh—turned off all the lights at 7 pm . At that moment, Gun-Ho told her,

“I will take the gallery’s key . I’m waiting for a special guest who wants to see the artworks at 8 pm today . ”

“No problem, sir . Here is the key . I will be off then . ”

After everyone left the gallery, Gun-Ho stayed in his office reading the world-history cartoon book .

When it was almost 8 pm, Gun-Ho went down to the basement where the art gallery was located .

The lights from the stores around GH Building illuminated the street outside . The bank on the first floor of GH Building and the art gallery in the basement were the only ones without lights . Other stores outside including restaurants were vigorously doing their business at this hour . Gun-Ho felt like he asked Seol-Bing to come to a place that was the only dark place in the area at the moment while everywhere else were so bright . Gun-Ho felt sorry for her . Once he entered the art gallery, he turned on only the emergency light, and he kept the door open slightly .

A text message arrived .

[Is it okay for me to enter the art gallery now?]

→ [I am actually in the gallery . ]
