When they entered the auto repair shop, Gun-Ho could smell oil .
Its floor was black because of the oil residues . Pieces of Styrofoam were found on the floor as well . In the office space, old desks were still there . It was dusty, and some papers were scattered there, but the office was quite spacious . Chan-Ho noticed that there was a refrigerator in the office .
“Is that refrigerator in a working condition?”
When Chan-Ho asked about it, the realtor responded, “Probably not . If it worked, they would have taken it with them . They left it here probably because it would cost them even to throw it out . ”
Gun-Ho noticed some tears on the ceiling .
“The building frame should be good . I believe you can still use it after some minor repairs . Just focus on the land . It’s a nice square figure and leveled well . Trucks can get in without any problem . ”
“If it was larger, it would have been perfect . ”
“If you really need a larger land, why don’t you buy the farmland next to this one? The owner put it on the market before . ”
“But it’s farmland . The leveling must be different . ”
“Not very different though . The difference in depth is less than 50 centimeters . So, the use of the land can be changed . ”
“Land use change?”
“Of course . This area is open for development . You can convert farmland into non-farming uses as long as you pay the fee . ”
“I’ve heard the fee is expensive…”
“It’s 30% of the officially assessed land price . But, sir, once you convert it into non-farming use, the price of the land will substantially increase . ”
“Really?”
“Or, if you want to use it just for a parking lot, you can just change the purpose of the land . Since it is now listed as a field, you can just indicate that it would be used as a rice paddy . ”
“Will it be okay? If I don’t do farming after indicating it is to be used as a rice paddy, the government won’t say anything?”

“You will have to pay some penalties for not farming the land . ”
“Hmm . ”
“Can farmland be purchased by a company?”
“If the company is an agribusiness company, then there shouldn’t be any problem . You said you want to do an auto repair shop, right? If an auto repair shop purchases farmland for farming, that wouldn’t sound right . ”
“That’s true . ”
“An individual can purchase farmland . You can buy it with your name, sir . ”
“There is no restriction for an individual to buy farmland?”
“You need a permit to purchase farmland . ”
“A permit to purchase farmland?”
“Yes, the government will make a determination on whether you will truly do farming with the land . ”
“How can they find out? If someone says he would do farming then that’s what it is, isn’t it?”
“They will first look at where you live . What address do you have for your residency?”
“It’s Dogok Town in Seoul . ”
“Well, then you won’t be qualified to purchase farmland here . You have to be a resident of Seonghwan Town . If you live outside the town, your address has to be close enough to easily commute like within 30 kilometers . ”
“30 kilometers?”
“It’s about the distance that you can ride a bicycle to get here, so it is believable that you intend to farm here while you live 30 kilometers away from the land . ”
“It seems to be very complicated to buy farmland . ”

“If you are going to open an auto repair shop, the size of 980 pyung should be big enough, and the price of 2 million won per pyung is reasonable . ”
“Okay . I will think about it and will let you know . ”
“Can I get your business card, sir?”
“Chan-Ho, why don’t you give your business card to Mr . Realtor? I didn’t bring mine today . ”
“Chan-Ho? My little brother’s name is Chan-Ho, too . ”
On the way from the land, Gun-Ho asked Chan-Ho, “Chan-Ho, do you remember the code for that combination padlock?”
“Yes, I do . It’s 4786 . ”
“I will store that code in my smartphone; otherwise, I won’t be able to recall it . ”
“Are you going to visit there again?”
“Not me . I will ask Jae-Sik to come by quietly . ”
“Oh, I see . ”
When Gun-Ho arrived at GH Mobile, it was after 11 am .
President Jang-Hwan Song was out of the office to meet with a client and the internal auditor was also out to attend an economic forum .
The secretary—Hee-Jeong Park brought a cup of tea for Gun-Ho .
“Since President Song and Mr . Internal Auditor are not in the office, would you like to see other executive officers?”
“No, that’s okay . They must be busy . ”
Gun-Ho had his lunch in the company cafeteria that day . He was standing in a line to get his food just like any other employees when the head of the labor union saw him . The head of the labor union quickly brought Gun-Ho’s lunch and placed it on the table .

“You don’t have to do that . ”
The head of the labor union sat at the same table with Gun-Ho .
“Bon appetit, sir . ”
“Thank you, you too . ”
The general affairs director also came to the cafeteria for his lunch . When he saw Gun-Ho having his lunch there, he joined Gun-Ho as well .
“Sir, when did you come?”
“I just arrived . ”
“Any news from the labor union?”
“No, it’s good . I always tell the members of the labor union that in order for us to have a good work life, our company’s business has to do well . And I also tell them that before we make any complaints to the company, we need to check if we are doing our job right . ”
“Haha, really? It seems that the members of the union listen to you . ”
The general affairs director said while eating the food, “Ever since this man took the head of the labor union position, it has been very quiet and peaceful . The previous head of the union during the Mulpasaneop days was not good at managing the members, and that created a lot of noise from them . ”
“Oh, I see . ”
The labor union’s head seemed to feel good . He voluntarily brought and offered water for Gun-Ho .
After lunch, Gun-Ho had his afternoon coffee in his office and took a nap before heading to Dyeon Korea . When he arrived at Dyeon Korea in that afternoon, he first went straight to the production site to see if all of the eight machines were working fine . The workers at the production site greeted Gun-Ho .
The products were piled up in the storage . It seemed that the eight machines were producing more than enough products . He then went into the compound room which was a restricted area . The workers in the room were wearing masks . They gave a bow to Gun-Ho when they saw him coming into the room . Manager Yoo who was in charge of the site quickly came to Gun-Ho .
“Sir, you are here . ”
“How are the new employees doing?”
“They are doing great . ”
“You will have to teach them a lot . ”
“Don’t worry about it, sir . ”
“I don’t worry about this team since you are here, Manager Yoo . ”
Manager Yoo seemed to feel a bit embarrassed .
“Manager Yoo, you used to live in Seoul, didn’t you?”
“Yes, I moved to this area five years ago when I was working for Mulpasaneop . I got married while I was living here too . ”
“Please don’t forget to enter any manuals and recipes into the computer and be mindful of the security . This is the core technology of our company . ”
“I’m doing it, sir . ”
Gun-Ho tapped Manager Yoo’s back before leaving the compound room .
Even though Jong-Suk suggested Gun-Ho to have Manager Yoo enter all the related information about the chemical compounds recipes into the president’s computer, Gun-Ho didn’t ask it to Manager Yoo .
