GH Media’s President Jeong-Soon Shin stopped by Gun-Ho’s office before leaving for the airport for her trip to Japan . She was with a man who looked like he was about three or four years older than Gun-Ho . His hairstyle was too liberal to be an office worker; he had a ponytail .
“I’m leaving for Japan today, sir . I came with our new chief editor of GH Media to introduce him to you . ”
“Oh, really?”
Gun-Ho stood up from his seat and offered his hand to the man for a handshake .
“He joined our team after Chief Editor Jae-Sik Moon left our company . He had been working as a chief editor in a magazine publishing company for a long time . He is also an award-winning author . He has published several published books of his own . ”
“I’m Cheon-Young Pi . It’s a pleasure meeting you, sir . ”
The man introduced himself to Gun-Ho .
His last name—Pi was not a very common name in Korea . His last name reminded Gun-Ho of the famous essayist—Chun-Deuk Pi . Gun-Ho had a silly thought for a second that maybe people with the last name of Pi were all good writers .
“Please have a seat . ”
“Thank you, sir, but we have to leave now . I just wanted to tell you that you don’t have to worry about GH Media during my absence . The team leads—Ms . Min-Sook Oh and our new chief editor—Mr . Pi will take care of the business just fine . ”
“Oh, you have to leave now? Maybe we should have some tea or something together next time . ”
“I believe Ms . Jeong-Soon Choi and Mr . Yoshitake Matsuda will be waiting for me at Gimpo International Airport . After finishing her art exhibition in Japan, Jeong-Soon Choi wants to invite you to her house in Yangpyeong County . She will cook cold noodles in soybean soup for you . ”
“Haha . It will be very nice . ”
Gun-Ho headed to his factory in Jiksan Town with his secretary—Ms . Yeon-Soo Oh who could speak English fluently . The Dyeon Korea’s board meeting was scheduled in the afternoon that day, so he wanted to stop by GH Mobile in Jiksan Town before heading to Dyeon Korea .
When Gun-Ho’s Bentley arrived at the front gate of GH Mobile, the security guard opened the gate right away after raising his hand for a salute .
When Gun-Ho and the secretary got off the car at the building’s entrance, several workers who were passing by the area greeted Gun-Ho . They also glanced at the young lady who got off the car with their president . They didn’t know that she was his secretary in one of his companies .
Gun-Ho took Ms . Yeon-Soo Oh to his office . GH Mobile’s secretary—Ms . Hee-Jeong Park prepared some tea right away and brought them to the office .
“Ms . Yeon-Soo Oh, this is GH Mobile’s secretary . ”
“Hi . I’m Yeon-Soo Oh . Nice to meet you . ”
“Ms . Park, Ms . Oh is GH Development’s secretary . She came with me from Seoul because we will have a board meeting in Dyeon Korea this afternoon . ”
“Oh, I see . It’s very nice meeting you . Please let me know if you need anything . ”
President Jang-Hwan Song came into Gun-Ho’s office . He glanced at Yeon-Soo Oh and asked, “Who is this lady, sir?”
“She came with me to interpret for me . We have a board meeting in Dyeon Korea this afternoon . ”
“Oh, that’s right . It’s the first board meeting since Dyeon Korean opened the business, is it? You must be very busy, sir . I guess this lady speaks English very well . ”
The secretary Yeon-Soo Oh looked uncomfortable since President Song kept referring her as a lady . She wanted to be treated as a part of the team since she was one of the employees of Gun-Ho’s companies after all, just like any other workers there . President Song sat next to Gun-Ho and said, “I heard that Mandong Company gave up on their plan to expand their market to Chennai, India . If we could get into that market, that will be really nice . ”
“Chennai in India?”
“Hyundai Motor Company has its factory no . 2 in Chennai . Many of Hyundai Motor’s first and second vendor companies have their branches in Chennai too . ”
“Where exactly is Chennai located?”
“It’s in the southern part of India . Hyundai Motor has its first factory in Delhi and the second factory in Chennai . ”
“Doesn’t Mandong Company have their factory in Delhi?”
“Even though they have one in Delhi, Delhi is extremely far from Chennai . You can’t just assume that the distance between Delhi and Chennai is about the same distance between Seoul and Busan . It should be about the distance between Dongbei in China and the southern part of China . ”
“Hmm . ”
“It’s usually not recommended to form a subsidiary company right before applying for a preliminary examination of the KOSDAQ registration, but we need to check out the market in India . ”
“India…”
“If you have a chance, I do recommend you to visit India . Once you get into the China market, the next one should be India . Hyundai Accent is selling extremely well in India, which were manufactured in their factory in Chennai . They call it Verna in India . I think it is wise that you should focus on the India market rather than the China market . ”
“So, Accent is called Verna in India and they are the same model . ”
“That’s right . India can be our production base not only for the India market but for other countries like Africa, Central, and South America . ”
Gun-Ho nodded his head to show that he understood President Song’s point .
Director Jong-Suk Park came to Gun-Ho’s office . It had been a while since he visited his office . Ms . Yeon-Soo Oh who was in the office with Gun-Ho quickly greeted Jong-Suk when he saw him coming in the office even before Gun-Ho had a chance to do so .
“Hello, Mr . Director Park . ”
“Oh, oh . You are the Ms . Secretary in Seoul . I guess you came here because of the board meeting . ”
Gun-Ho said while smiling, “You two know each other very well?”
“Of course . When Vice President Adam Castler came to join Dyeon Korea for the first time, I met her in Dyeon Korea . ”
“How are you doing these days?”
“I’m doing fine . ”
“How’s your wife doing? Is she happy with her work?”
“She will take a leave from her work soon . She is having a baby . ”
“What? Is she pregnant? Wow . Congratulations . I hope your baby would look after your wife, not you . It has to be . ”
Ms . Yeon-Soo Oh laughed .
“I’ve heard that you are close with Manager Seo . Is it true?”
Manager Seo worked as an assistant manager in the general affairs team and he was then promoted to the sales team’s manager . He used to work with Director Kim, but since Director Kim moved to Dyeon Korea, now he was working with President Song .
“Yeah . His position is lower than mine, but since he is the same as age you, bro, I call him big brother just like I do to you . He likes that a lot . When he was promoted to a manager position, he bought me a drink . He thinks that I contributed to his promotion for some reason . I actually haven’t said a word to you, that would affect his promotion . ”
