"Oh, Mr . Director, and Mr . President of the terminals!"
"Your factory is huge and very nice . "
"How was your trip to the terminals in Korea so far?"
"It was productive . In order to build a good terminal, it's very useful to visit existing terminals . "
The two Chinese men didn't come by themselves, but they came with one more person . The president of the terminals introduced the new face to Gun-Ho .
"This is our planning manager of the terminal company . "
"Oh, really? It's very nice to meet you . "
Gun-Ho, who had extensive experience with a joint venture business, thought,
'This guy must be the one who drafted that business plan . Once a joint venture company is established, this man will take its vice president position . '
"How is the deputy mayor— Mr . Lixian Zhang— doing?"
"He is doing well . He told me to say hello to you on his behalf, sir . "
"Oh, he did? Well, I want you to meet someone . This is GH's transportation company's President . "

"Hello . "
Jae-Sik Moon gave his business card to them as he greeted them . The Chinese people gave their business cards to Jae-Sik as well . The transportation department's director said while looking at Jae-Sik's business card, "Oh, Logistics! I'm delighted to meet you . "
"This is our plant director here in GH Mobile . "
"Oh, really? Your plant director looks very young for the position . "
At that moment, the general affairs director came into the president's office, and Gun-Ho introduced him to the Chinese guests as well . And lastly, he introduced Team Lead Kim to them
"And, the person who picked you up at the airport is our team lead in the quality control department . "
"Oh, I see . I was wondering who he is . "
The transportation department's director extended his hand again to Team Lead Kim for a handshake . Team Lead Kim was impressed by Gun-Ho's fluent Chinese . His pronunciation sounded perfect .
'When and where did he learn his Chinese? I lived in China for two years, but I don't think I can compete with him . '
The terminal's president said while looking at Gun-Ho's face, "I briefly looked around the factory on the way to your office . It seems to be managed very well . It's spotless . "
"Our workers keep their own worksite clean voluntarily . Our plant manager will give you a tour of the factory . It's a manufacturing facility, not a terminal construction site, but since you are here, it will be interesting to take a look around it . After the tour, we will have lunch . Our general affairs director already arranged it . "
The Chinese guests followed Director Jong-Suk Park to take a tour of the production site . The machines there have been cleanly managed since My Machine program was implemented in GH Mobile . The Chinese people were astonished by the cleanliness of the machines and the spotless factory floor . They said later that they learned more while looking around GH Mobile's factory than during the tour at the Dong Seoul Bus Terminal and Seoul Express Bus Terminal .

Moreover, they greatly enjoyed the food during lunch at the Korean traditional full course meal restaurant— Seungjiwon . They explicitly showed their gratitude for Gun-Ho's generous treat . As a matter of fact, they were not very well treated during previous tours with the Korea Public Transportation Association . It seemed that these Chinese visitors were just another work for the staff of the association .
"We truly appreciate your treat, Mr . President Goo . Our Antang City is as large as Cheonan City in Korea . When we previously visited Cheonan Bus Terminal, we noticed that its shopping business is very well developed . We are envious of it . Since Antang City's terminal is located a bit off from the downtown, I don't expect to see a lot of commercial activities there; however, I'm sure the hotel business will be very good . "
"I agree with you . I observed the same thing when I visited there . "
"If you, Mr . President Goo, could join us for our terminal project, we will guarantee your profit . Antang City's population is constantly growing, and the city has a promising future accordingly . "
The Antang City's transportation department's director, who was sitting next to Gun-Ho, leaned over Gun-Ho's body and said, "Did you have a chance to look at the business plan that we sent to you?"
"Yes, I did . "
"If you join us for the terminal project, I will give you all the privileges and benefits that I could give within my power . "
The planning manager, who came with them, chipped in .
"Do you mind if I ask the annual sales avenue of GH Mobile that we just visited?"
"Not at all . We achieved 80 million dollars last year . We are anticipating exceeding 100 million dollars next year . "
"100 million dollars!"

The three Chinese guests looked greatly surprised .
"What about its net profits?"
"After taxes, its profit rate is around 10% . "
The transportation department's director clinked his glass to Gun-Ho and said, "Very good . If you work with us, Mr . President Goo, I will guarantee a 10% profit rate . "
Those Chinese people were not skeptical about Gun-Ho's ability at all . They heard that Gun-Ho had several companies . They had enough information to support their belief in Gun-Ho's competence and capacity . So, they firmly believed that Gun-Ho would be able to bring 25 million dollars into the project without a problem .
"You don't have to prepare the investment funds all at once . You can gradually infuse the funds into the project as the construction of the terminal progresses . I will issue the license to run a bus business immediately, so you could start the bus business right after we sign the contract . "
"I will think about it . "
"I hope we make our business with you, sir . "
Gun-Ho clinked his glass to theirs .
When it was time for them to leave, they said they would take a KTX (Korea Train Express ) at Cheonan Station . Gun-Ho asked Chan-Ho Eum and the quality control department's Team Lead Kim to give them a ride to the station .
"Drop them off at the KTX station at Cheonan, and buy them three train tickets with our company business card . You can ask the accounting director for the credit card . "
"Yes, sir . "
Team Lead Kim gave a deep bow to Gun-Ho before leaving the office .
After the Chinese guests left, Gun-Ho asked Jae-Sik Moon to come to his office .
"President Moon, please take a seat on the sofa . "
Jae-Sik sat on the sofa .
"If… I mean if I decide to participate in their terminal project in Guizhou Province, China along with the bus business, who do you think I should send there as a president for that business?"
"Well…"
"I can't think of anyone from GH Mobile or Dyeon Korea since they are manufacturing companies . "
"That's true…"
"It is appropriate to select someone from the transportation company— GH Logistics . "
"That's true, but we don't have anybody who could handle work like that . The company is a small and newly established company . How can I expect a small company to handle a 25 billion won-worth project? You will need someone like GH Mobile's President Song with extensive work experience in the field . "
"Are you suggesting that we need to hire someone? I don't want to give the position to a stranger . I want someone who is already working with us . "
"Who is on your mind?"
