When Gun-Ho arrived at the bar in Hannam Town, the first person who came out to delightedly greet him was Tae-Young Im .
“Big brother, you are here . ”
“Oh, Team Lead Im, good to see you again . It has been a while, huh? Did the Americans arrive?”
“No, not yet . Please come inside . ”
Gun-Ho entered the Pine and Tae-Young followed him .
“Big brother, how’s Chan-Ho doing? He is very helpful, isn’t he?”
“Yeah, he is very good . I should thank you for sending him to me . He will be here soon after parking the car . ”
Ms . Jang was walking towards Gun-Ho to greet him while making a fuss about his visit .
“Oh, my goodness, President Goo . You are here . I almost forgot your face . ”
“You look great, Ms . Jang . ”
“You think so? Haha . It must be the make-up . ”
Gun-Ho took off his jacket, and Ms . Jang took it and hung it on the wall . Gun-Ho sat on the floor, in his vest . An embroidered folding screen was set behind his back .
“You have the lady servants, who can speak English, ready for my guests, right?”
“Of course, sir . We have new girls . They are so pretty and their English is excellent . ”
Gun-Ho smiled .
A floor table was placed in front of Gun-Ho and it was covered with a white tablecloth .

“Oh, shoot . I will get you something to drink . I will bring some Sulloc green tea . ”
After quite a while, a young lady who was wearing a Korean traditional dress entered the room . She was in her 20s and she was certainly pretty .
“Are you the one who can speak English?”
“Yes, but I don’t speak English fluently . ”
“Hmm, really? Well, I have three American guests coming over here today . I hope you help them have a great time here . ”
The young lady filled up Gun-Ho’s cup with Sulloc green tea and left the room after giving him a bow .
Gun-Ho was thinking while having his tea,
‘I haven’t often come here but this is a very good place to treat my guests . It is certainly useful . I wonder if they are making enough money though . There seems to be a lot of people working in the kitchen, not to mention those bouncers outside . ’
When he heard some noises outside, Gun-Ho realized that his guest arrived .
“I guess that they are here . ”
Three Americans came into the room where Gun-Ho was sitting .
“Oh, President Goo . You are already here . ”
Mr . Brandon Burke said while entering the room . He was tall and he had to bend his head a bit not to hit the head jamb when he entered the room .
“I thought you would pick a place in Itaewon Town . I’ve never expected to see a place like this . ”
Gun-Ho, at that moment, wondered if he would be able to sit on the floor . Ms . Jang quickly brought several floor cushions and said, “Haha . He can use two or three floor cushions to sit on . He will feel comfortable even on the floor . ”
“You had a room that was designed for foreign clients who are not used to sit on the floor . ”

“Haha . That one is already occupied by other customers . ”
Brandon Burke waved his hand and said, “It’s okay . I’m fine with this setting . I’m in Korea and I want to experience your culture . ”
Young ladies brought some tea .
When Brandon Burke found that they could speak English, he seemed to be very satisfied .
Angelina Rein seemed to be drawn to the decorations in the room . She was busy looking at the embroidered folding screen, the stationery chest and the ceramic vase in the room .
“This place is very Korean . ”
Angelina Rein closely looked at the Korean traditional dress which the lady worker who was sitting next to her was wearing . She touched the dress to see the fabric and asked her some questions .
Several ladies came into the room with Gayageum* and started playing them . The three Americans seemed to be fascinated by the whole setting . They were having a traditional Korean wine while listening to Gayageum . Especially, Angelina Rein, who was the only lady guest in the room, placed her two hands on her chest showing how much she was impressed .
Mr . Brandon Burke came close to Gun-Ho after sipping the Korean traditional wine .
“President Goo, pay close attention to Chennai in India . ”
That was exactly what GH Mobile’s President Jang-Hwan Song told Gun-Ho the other day .
He continued to talk, “The southern part of India is still underdeveloped compared to the Delhi area in the north . The area just started being developed . India is a huge country . You can build four more joint ventures there . ”
“That sounds like a very expensive plan . ”
“I know people in Goldman Sachs and Morgan Stanley . As long as Dyeon Korea succeeds, you don’t have to worry about funds to expand . ”
When Brandon Burke talked to Gun-Ho about the business, his voice was low . And the lady’s voice who was interpreting for them became low as well . Angelina Rein and Adam Castler seemed to be busy talking with other ladies .
Gun-Ho lifted his glass and clinked it to Brandon Burke’s .

“Thank you for the valuable information, Mr . Burke . ”
“President Goo, I want you to put me in a branch manager position of Dyeon Korea’s India location once I retire . ”
“Hahaha . What are you talking about Mr . Burke? You should take the president position of the global company—Lymondell Dyeon . You will have enormous power once you are in that position, right?”
“Haha . I was just kidding . ”
Gun-Ho thought about the new market while having his drink .
“Hmm… India…”
Gun-Ho had to say good-bye to Mr . Brandon Burk in Pine since he was leaving the next day .
“I won’t be able to go to the airport with you tomorrow because I have an important matter that I have to attend . I guess I will have to say good-bye to you here . ”
“I do appreciate you for welcoming us, President Goo . I also thank you for handling the business of the joint venture very well . I do thank all of your workers for the hospitality that they have shown to us . I’m sure the company will prosper . ”
“Thank you, Mr . Brandon Burke . I wish you good health . This is some token of my gratitude for you . ”
Gun-Ho gave the Korean doll and the pottery that he purchased in Insa Town to Brandon Burke and Angelina Rein .
“Wow . ”
Angelina Rein absolutely loved it . She jumped up and down with excitement .
After walking out of the bar, Gun-Ho headed to his home in Dogok Town .
Chan-Ho Eom said while driving, “Umm, sir, I talked to Tae-Young bro about it . ”
“You mean the heavy equipment thing?”
“Tae-You bro already talked with President Moon about it, but they don’t have any heavy equipment yet . ”
“I think so . ”
“So I guess we will have to wait until heavy equipment is ready . ”
“We need to find a space to place trucks and heavy equipment first . Let’s go to Seonghwan Town tomorrow to see some land . Seonghwan Town is close to GH Mobile anyway . ”
“Sir, I don’t think we need to secure a place to store heavy equipment . ”
“Why is that so?”
“I’ve seen a lot of heavy equipment parked on the street where there is no heavy traffic . I saw a lot of trucks there too . ”
“Well, they must belong to individual businessmen—sole proprietors . Many of them can’t afford to have their own space to park them . But, we are a business entity—GH Logistics . ”
“I see what you mean . ”
