When he woke up from a nap in his car, he felt thirsty . Gun-Ho looked at his watch and took a sip from his water bottle . When he opened the window to get fresh air, he realized that there was a one-ton truck that was parked in the same area . The truck driver opened his window and said to Gun-Ho, “Oh, my goodness, sir . You snored so loud that your car actually moved along with it . ”
Gun-Ho couldn’t help laughing .
Gun-Ho made a call to the realtor’s office .
“Are you open today?”
“Yes, we are open . ”
“I will come by your office in a few minutes . ”
“Where are you coming from?”
Gun-Ho hung up the phone without answering the realtor’s question .
The realtor’s office seemed to be busier on Saturdays than on weekdays .
There were two other customers in the office when Gun-Ho arrived . They seemed to look for land to buy . Gun-Ho had to wait for his turn for quite a while .
After the other customers left the office, the realtor came to Gun-Ho and said, “I’m so sorry, sir, that you had to wait . Please come and take a seat . You are the one who went to see the auto repair shop yesterday, aren’t you?”
“That’s right . ”
“So, have you made up your mind? That auto repair shop is really good . ”
“The price is too high . 2 million won per pyung is expensive . Can we lower the price a bit?”
“That’s actually the current fair market price . I will talk to the landowner about the price . ”
The realtor called the landowner .

“It is wise that you sell your land when there is someone who wants to buy it . You know that there are a lot of lands on the market because the economy is currently bad . The gentleman here seemed to visit other lands, and he said 200 per pyung is overpriced . ”
The realtor spent quite a long time persuading the landowner to lower the price . While they were still talking on the phone, the realtor whispered to Gun-Ho after covering his phone’s mic,
“It’s 1 . 96 billion won if we calculate it as 200 million won per pyung, but he said he can lower it to 1 . 9 billion won for you . ”
“1 . 9 billion won… Assuming I can get a loan for 40% of the price, I can get the land with 1 . 14 billion won…”
“I can get you connected for a loan . ”
“Where is the landowner right now?”
“He is in Bundang District . He is running an authorized dealer for foreign vehicles . ”
“Can you ask him to come to this office today?”
The realtor asked that to the landowner and got back to Gun-Ho .
“He said he can leave for here now . ”
“Please tell him that I will be here waiting for him then . ”
After getting off the phone with the landowner, the realtor smiled and said, “He is leaving from Bundang District . One hour should suffice . ”
“Probably not . Since it’s Saturday, there should be heavy traffic . ”
“Still it’s not far from here . Well, sir, are you going to stay here while waiting for him?”
“Nah, I will come back after an hour . I want to get some fresh air . ”
“Please don’t go too far and stay in the area . I will give you a call as soon as the landowner arrives in the office . ”

Gun-Ho walked out of the realtor’s office .
“What am I going to do to kill an hour? Maybe I can visit Dongtan Town . It will take about an hour to go and come back from there . ”
Gun-Ho drove his Land Rover to Dongtan Town .
“Dongtan is a newly emerging popular area, huh?”
Dongtan was being developed . A lot of high-rise buildings were being constructed . Gun-Ho was impressed by Dongtan Town’s current look .
“Wow . It’s a well-developed city . I didn’t know Dongtan Town had developed this much . ”
Gun-Ho looked around Dongtan Town before heading back to Seonghwan Town . He estimated about an hour to visit Dongtan Town, but it took more than an hour . He received a call from the realtor while still driving back to Seonghwan Town when he was passing Pyeongtaek City .
“The landowner is here in the office now . ”
Gun-Ho actually expected to see an old man, but the landowner was a young man who looked like he was in his early 40s .
The realtor said, “Both the person who put his land on the market and the person who is interested in buying the same land are young men . Let’s make it simple and quick . Why don’t we just make a contract right now? What do you think? Mr . Buyer, how much down payment did you prepare to sign the contract?”
“Since it’s Saturday, I couldn’t withdraw as much money as I wanted . I brought 30 million won . ”
Gun-Ho pulled out three checks from the inner pocket of his jacket and waved them . Each check valued 10 million won .
The realtor looked at the seller and asked, “Are you okay with 30 million won?”
The seller nodded his head .
The realtor brought a sales and purchase contract for land to the table and said, “I love the fact that both the seller and the buyer are young people and very quick in making a decision . I do envy you both . You two misters are young businessmen but very wealthy . ”
Gun-Ho would make the second payment after a week and pay the remaining payment after two weeks . Gun-Ho would be able to start demolishing and cleaning the property after making the second payment .

The seller said while putting the 30 million won in his pocket, “Why don’t we get to know each other more? I guess we are now connected through the property . ”
Gun-Ho looked at the business card that the seller handed to him . He had a corporation that was in the business of running a dealership of foreign vehicles . It seemed that he sold strictly only foreign cars .
“You are President Jeong . ”
Gun-Ho gave his business card to the seller . President Jeong carefully looked at Gun-Ho’s business card .
“President Goo . ”
After exchanging their business cards, the two men had a handshake .
“Since I am selling foreign-manufactured vehicles, I will send you the cars that require A/S to your auto repair shop . ”
“Actually, I’m not running an auto repair shop, but we are leasing and transporting trucks or heavy equipment . ”
“Oh, I see . I wish your business to prosper . ”
“Thank you . ”
Gun-Ho went to work in GH Mobile on the following Monday . He called for Director Jong-Suk Park .
“Hey, it takes only fifteen minutes to get to your home from work, right?”
“It takes a bit more than that because I have to drop my wife off at her work, so it usually takes about thirty minutes to get here . ”
“I see . Do you also pick her up after work?”
“No, I drop her off in the morning . After work, she takes a bus . I’m thinking of having her stay home once she delivers the baby . ”
“Why?”
Jong-Suk was about to explain his situation when President Song entered Gun-Ho’s office, and he stopped talking . When he was with Gun-Ho alone, he talked to Gun-Ho in a very informal way and called him brother instead of Mr . President .
One day, when President Song saw Jong-Suk calling Gun-Ho brother, he reprimanded him .
At that time, President Song told him, “Director Park, I don’t mind what you call Mr . President when you were with him alone, but when there are other people present, you should call him Mr . President . How can you call Mr . President brother in front of workers at work?”
Jong-Suk apologized to President Song and tried to be careful not to make the same mistake when President Song was around .
After getting Gun-Ho’s signature on the expense document, President Song left the office .
Gun-Ho continued to talk to Jong-Suk with where they left off, “Why do you want her to quit her job? Doesn’t her employer give her paid maternity leave?”
“They do . We just think maybe the baby needs his mother to stay home with him all the time . She is also considering doing her mother’s business with her . ”
“You mean the hair salon?”
“Yes, or she can obtain a realtor’s license and work with her father in the real estate field . ”
“Haha . You have planned a lot, huh?”
“How’s Jae-Sik brother doing?”
“Oh, you know what? That’s why I asked you to come to my office . ”
