Chapter 92
Gun-Ho was thinking of what he would do if he successfully bought the vacant lot in Gangdong District at an auction .

"Should I build a hotel?"
Even if he successfully acquired the land by an auction, his property interest in the land would be only 50% since the land was held in tenancy in common and there was another owner who had the equal property interest in the land .
Say, he could persuade the other owner to sell his or her interest to Gun-Ho . Gun-Ho would have to pay that owner an additional 600 million or 700 million won to buy his or her property interest .
It would not be just the price of the land Gun-Ho had to bear . If he wanted to do something with the land, he would have to build a building or a hotel, or whatever he wanted to build, and that would cost him additional money .
"How much more should I expect to spend with the land?"
Gun-Ho was drawing his plan with the land on a blank canvas in his head .
"The land is 200 pyung . If I assume the building will use 100 pyung out of it and the price of construction is 5 million won per pyung, then the total construction cost would be 500 million won . If I build a 10-floor building, sh*t! It would cost me 5 billion won . For a 15-floor building, 7 . 5 billion won would incur . Then how much in total would I spend for the land price and construction cost altogether? I guess it would cost me all of my money . "
Gun-Ho wanted to ask Manager Kang more details on it, such as how many pyung would be allowed to use to build a building and exactly how much it would cost per pyung to build it . Then he decided not to ask him .
"It's too early to go into the details . Let's wait and see how things turn out at the second auction . "

The idea of developing the vacant lot still lingered on Gun-Ho .
"Maybe I should put all of my money into this by building a hotel once I purchase the land, and become the president of a hotel . Even though the hotel wouldn't be located in the center of Seoul but a bit distant from the center, I can decorate the hotel really pretty and elegantly . I would be respected as the owner of a hotel who is running his own hotel . "
Gun-Ho then thought of running an office-tel .
"I could build an office-tel there, a large one and I directly operate it . Assuming the number of rooms would be 150 and a monthly rent for each room would be 600,000 won, the monthly income from the office-tel would be 90 million won then . Maybe building an office-tel is better . "
Gun-Ho couldn't decide which building he wanted to build and he repeatedly drew and erased a hotel or an office-tel on the land in his head .

Gun-Ho opened a newspaper published by C Media .
There was a big picture of the northeast Asia economic forum held in Intercontinental Hotel, that Professor Wang would attend .
"Economic diagnosis by scholars from all over the world? They are making it sound like a huge deal . Oh, here is the picture of Professor Wang . " Gun-Ho chuckled .
"What? China and South Korea needs to take each other's hands and move forward as a partner? Well, that sounds nice . " Gun-Ho chuckled again .

Gun-Ho was expecting a call from Professor Wang around tomorrow after he finished the official event .

"Gun-Ho? It's me! Professor Wang . "
"Oh, I was waiting for your call . "
"Come to the hotel I am staying . I don't have any schedule after 4 PM tomorrow . "
"Okay . I will be there by 4 tomorrow then . Where do we meet?"
"Why don't you come up to my room? It's 12XX . "
"Okay! See you there then . "
Gun-Ho planned to take them to a restaurant in the Starfield COEX Mall for dinner, and then he wanted to go somewhere really nice .

"Should I take them to the room salon that the sister of Suk-Ho's friend is operating? It's close from here . "
Gun-Ho shook his head .
"We don't have to go to a place that expensive . I am happy to see them but that room salon is way too expensive; it's not like we are meeting to close an important deal or something . "
Gun-Ho then thought of that secret bar in Hannam Town .
"That place is pricey too . I do love the vibe and atmosphere the bar is creating, but Professor Wang and his friend might feel uncomfortable in a too luxurious bar like that . "
Gun-Ho kept thinking about how to find a good place to have fun with them, tomorrow after dinner .
"Whew . I can't think of any good place . I should have often eaten in good places in my daily life, so I know where to go whenever I have a visitor in town . "
Gun-Ho thought of Suk-Ho from Gyeongridan Street . He probably knew a lot of good places . Gun-Ho called him .
"Suk-Ho? It's me, Gun-Ho . "
"Oh, President Goo, how come are you calling to a humble person like me?"
Suk-Ho sometimes talked in a twisted way . Gun-Ho was not sure whether Suk-Ho remembered what he did when they were in high school, but Gun-Ho still clearly remembered that Suk-Ho took Gun-Ho's umbrella . Gun-Ho tried to let it go since it happened a long time ago .
"I have friends who came from China and I want to take them to a nice place after dinner to have fun . Do you happen to know any good bar we could go?"
"Itaewon is the right place for it! There are tons of places like that . "
"So, which one do you recommend?"

"How many people are going?"
"Two . Well, it will be three people including me . "
"What are their occupations?"
"One is a college professor and the other is a deputy mayor . "
"A college professor and a deputy mayor? Then you should choose a place classy and refined . "
"That doesn't matter actually . They are my friends and we are all at the same age . "
"Really? How did you meet people like that? Well, let me see… There is one good place . Its name is 'ArariYo . ' It's a bar where you can see a traditional Korean musical and dance performance while you drink . "
"Oh, they do traditional Korean drum dance too? That sounds awesome . Give me the direction to that bar . "

A lady entered Gun-Ho's office .
"Umm, is Ms . Ji-Young Jeong here?"
"Yes, that's me . "
Ji-Young stood up and showed the lady to the meeting table .
Gun-Ho looked at the lady carefully; it was her, his sister's friend, Seung-Hee Park . Gun-Ho stood up from his seat .
"Are you Seung-Hee sister?"
"Oh my gosh! Gun-Ho?!"
The lady seemed to be surprised to see Gun-Ho . Gun-Ho was also surprised because she had changed a lot . She used to be a very neat and proud young lady . Now she looked shabby and old . Also, Gun-Ho remembered that she was tall but the lady in front of him right now seemed to be short .
"Long time no see . Have a seat . "
"I barely recognize you, Gun-Ho . You have grown to be a dashing gentleman . I wouldn't have recognized you if I just passed by you on the street . "
Ji-Young brought them green tea .

"Where do you live, Seung-Hee sister?"
"I am still living in Bucheon . Your office looks clean and cozy . "
Seung-Hee looked around the office while sipping her green tea .
"My sister told me that you are selling insurance . "
"Yeah, I happened to work in this field . It's sort of a rewarding job . "
"Our company is operating three OneRoomTels right now and I'd like to buy fire insurance for those three . You can talk with Ms . Ji-Young Jeong, regarding more details about it because I have to leave now . I have an appointment with clients from China . "
Ji-Young nodded her head at Seung-Hee .
"Oh, you are leaving? Sure, I will talk with this lady then . It was really nice seeing you again Gun-Ho . You looked more handsome than you were when you were little . "
Seung-Hee looked at Gun-Ho as if she admired him .

In fact, Gun-Ho became neat and dashing lately .
He had been wearing only brand-name shirts and suits, and even for t-shirts and shoes . Clothes make the man . Moreover, Gun-Ho had regularly been receiving skin care from a skin care shop . He certainly looked better . His complexion had been brightened and he looked like someone who had never experienced hard work in his life because he was born to a rich family . No one could imagine that he had once been a factory worker—doing manual labor job in a small factory .
