"Hello?"

A slim man came into the meeting room . He said hello in Korean as he entered the room . He looked like he was in his early 40s .

"This is Mr . Choi from Social Science Academy . He is here to interpret for us . "

Gun-Ho extended his hand to the Mr . Choi person for a handshake .

"Nice to meet you . Did you go to school in Yanbian?"

"I went to school in Changchun—Changchun University . "

He was a Korean Chinese . Gun-Ho preferred a Korean Chinese rather than a Chinese for the interpretation work . Jae-Sik Moon asked him, "Are you a Korean Chinese?"

"Yes, I am . "

"How did you start working here?"

"This is the position assigned to me by the government after I graduated from college . "

"Oh, I see . "

Jae-Sik nodded his head, showing he understood now .

The meeting began .

The parties verified things that Gun-Ho was already aware of, such as the name of the joint venture to be established, the frequency of its board meeting, verification of the investment funds, etc . Even though they were just checking if they were on the same page, the meeting lasted for a while because everything they said had to be interpreted by the interpreter . The only issue Gun-Ho raised was about the way of investment .

The terminal's president said, "Let's bring in the funds of 25 million dollars in three steps—initial payment, middle payment, and the remaining payment . If you don't object, I would just assume that you agree . "

"Let's bring in the investment funds as we go through each step . We start with 50,000 dollars, and once the license of running the bus business is issued, we bring in an additional 450,000 dollars . And then, when we begin the construction work, we add another 3 million dollars since we already have the drawing . Once the third floor of the building is completed, we bring in an additional 3 million won… I think this is a more reasonable way to come up with the investment funds . "

The president of the terminals couldn't make the decision whether they would accept Gun-Ho's suggestion or not, on his own . He went out of the meeting room for a while to make a call . And when he came back to the room, he said he would accept the way that Gun-Ho suggested .

Gun-Ho frowned .

'Hmm . I guess he doesn't have the full authority to make a decision like that even though he is the president of the company since the company is owned by the government, and he is just an employee . I guess he had to ask for approval from the deputy mayor or the director of the transportation department . '

The interpreter—Mr . Choi—was an excellent interpreter . He was on another level in the job from Mae-Hyang Kim or Eun-Hwa Jo who used to interpret for Gun-Ho when he had run his restaurant in China . Mr . Choi was highly knowledgeable of the terminology of the construction and legal field . He even explained to Gun-Ho about certain technical terms that were used differently in China . That man belonged to the Social Science Academy, and it seemed that he was being paid extra for the interpretation work . Well, he was the person who got picked by the government for the interpretation work . It was obvious that he was that good, but Gun-Ho didn't like him smoking too much though .

The president of the terminals said with a smile, "I like the fact that you, President Goo, understand quickly the procedure and terms of a joint venture since you have business experience in China and graduated from Zhejiang University . "

The interpreter, who graduated from Changchun University, seemed to be surprised, and he looked at Gun-Ho .

"Oh, you graduated from Zhejiang University, sir? That's why you knew a lot about China . "

The president of the terminals dragged the planning manager's arm, who was sitting next to him, and said, "Once the joint venture is formed, let's appoint a Korean person for a president . And, for the vice president position, we want Mr . Planning Manager to take that position . He is the one who made the business plan and took care of the necessary paperwork for the business . "

The planning manager smiled . He looked like he was around 50 years old .

"I believe that President Jae-Sik Moon will be here as the president of the joint venture, am I correct?"

"That's our plan . "

"I've noticed that President Moon made a note of our discussion . I think he is a meticulous man . Moreover, since he has been running a logistics company in Korea, we are hoping to learn the Korean way to run a transportation company from him . "

Jae-Sik Moon was baffled . He had been running GH Logistics for less than a year now, and the people who were in the field for 20 or 30 years wanted to learn from him . When he was looking for words to respond, Gun-Ho said with a smile, "Haha, running a transportation company should be the same whether it's in Korea or in China . You have already had your tour in terminals in Korea . "

"I was so impressed by the commercial stores in terminals in Korea . We want to develop the commercial side like that in our terminal as well . "

While they were conversing, the deputy mayor and the director of the transportation department entered the room .

"It seems like things went well . "

The terminal's president stood up and gave him a report .

"Yes, sir . We've agreed on all of the basic terms . "

"Let's then sign the letter of intent . "

"The letter of intent…"

"You don't need to think again . Let's just do it . I guess President Moon here will join the joint venture as the president . Please come and sit here in front of the flags . "

Two people with a camera came into the room . Gun-Ho was not sure whether they were government employees or journalists, but it seemed that they were waiting outside for the whole time for this moment . The deputy mayor, the transportation department's director, and Jae-Sik Moon stood behind the signers—Gun-Ho and the president of the terminals . After they signed the letter of intent, Gun-Ho and the terminal's president had a handshake . They held each other's hand for a while so the people with cameras could take a picture of the moment .

As they finally signed the letter of intent, the Chinese co-venturers wanted to celebrate the day . They said they would throw a party .

"Chinese government employees and the workers of the government-owned companies usually have a party once they complete something . "

Gun-Ho and Jae-Sik Moon were led to a Chinese traditional restaurant called Zi Lin Canting . It was a two-floor old traditional building surrounded by a bamboo forest . The workers there were wearing Chinese ethnic costumes . Several traditional musicians were there as well .

"Wow, this is a very nice place . "

Gun-Ho was not particularly impressed since he had often been to nice Chinese restaurants before . Jae-Sik Moon, on the other hand, couldn't close his mouth . He had never been to a luxurious Chinese restaurant until then . Jae-Sik was especially attracted by all the scenes because he was a fan of Chinese cartoons .

"I see all sorts of dainties and delicacies . "

"That sounds familiar . "

"Yeah, it was the description used in the Chunhyangjeon (a famous Korean folk tale) for the food prepared for the government official—Pyon . "

"Today is like your birthday . "

"I've never had this much good food on my birthday before . "

"Have them as much as you want . You are having all sorts of dainties while listening to the music played by gorgeous women . I think you will have a great life here in China . "
