Chapter 210: Business Plan (1) – PART 1

Attorney Young-Jin Kim called Gun-Ho after reviewing the business plan about the joint venture with Dyeon America.

“I reviewed it, but I am not sure if I am the right person to review and give any comments on it. I don’t know much about factory business.”

“I sent you the business plan because you will accompany me to the U.S. when I go on a business trip for an interview with Dyeon America.”

“The business plan looks professionally done though, even if we can’t guarantee that the company will achieve the goal as stated in the business plan.”

“When do you think we can go to the U.S.?”

“GH Mobile is contracted with the Kim & Jeong law firm for the joint venture matter with Dyeon America. We will soon have to schedule for the trip. It will be a business trip; we need to keep in mind that we are not going there for fun.”

“Why don’t you schedule a date with Angelina who is in charge of scheduling the interview?”

“My week is already quite full. What about next week?”

“Next week works for me.”

Gun-Ho looked at the calendar with his smartphone.

“I guess I can go to Japan after attending the high school reunion since the business trip to the U.S. will be scheduled for next week.”

Gun-Ho looked at a picture of Mori Aikko that was saved in his smartphone.

“You always look cute!”

Gun-Ho kissed her on his smartphone.

Gun-Ho made a reservation for the flight to Japan.

He didn’t ask the general affairs department to arrange for this trip, but he personally handled the preparation for the trip, including purchasing a flight ticket to Japan.

“We just sent you your flight reservation to Japan via email. Please bring the print-out of the electronic reservation when you check-in at the airport and make sure you receive the boarding pass after check-in.”

The travel agency agent kindly gave the check-in and boarding instructions to Gun-Ho.

Gun-Ho worked only in the morning that day and headed to Gimpo International Airport. He purchased a gift for Mori Aikko at the duty-free shop at the airport.

“Come to think of it, I’ve never bought Mori Aikko any present before, even though I purchased a condo for her.”

Gun-Ho shopped at the duty-free shop and got cosmetics and perfume for Mori Aikko and western liquor for himself. Once he arrived at Haneda Airport in Tokyo, he took a taxi and went straight to the condo in Daikanyama, Shibuya.

While he was in the taxi, Gun-Ho sent a text message to Mori Aikko.

“I just arrived at Haneda Airport and on my way to Shibuya.

Mori Aikko replied,

“The passcode for the condo has been changed to your phone number. :)”

Gun-Ho smiled.

Gun-Ho arrived at the condo and he entered his phone number to the keyless entry lock system. It worked. Gun-Ho rang the doorbell rather than just entering the condo because he didn’t want to frighten her.

Mori Aikko who was cooking for Gun-Ho ran to the door. She looked cuter than the last time Gun-Ho saw her.

“Oppa!”

“Aikko!”

The two young couple hugged and kissed each other for a while without saying a word. Gun-Ho could hear Mori Aikko’s breathing and he clasped her small waist.

“Oppa, did you miss me?”

Mori Aikko surprisingly spoke in Korean even though she stuttered a bit.

“Of course, I missed you.”

“How much did you miss me?”

“Like the size of the sky.”

“You are lying.”

“I’m dead serious.”

Gun-Ho fiercely kissed Mori-Aikko again. Gun-Ho could feel Mori Aikko’s tongue on his lips.

“Oppa, I am cooking Sukiyaki for dinner.”

“When did you learn Korean?”

“I am taking a Korean language class. I’m studying it while watching Korean videos as well.”

“That’s nice. I am so proud of you, my Mori Aikko.”

Gun-Ho hugged Mori Aikko again.

“I have to go back to the kitchen to check Sukiyaki.”

Sukiyaki is a Japanese dish of meat and vegetables which is simmered at the table.

“Where did you learn how to cook it?”

“I learned it from my grandmother.”

“Doesn’t your grandmother visit you here?”

“She came to visit me from Sapporo once, but she went back home. She wants to meet you, Shacho-san.”

“Why didn’t she stay with you here longer?”

“She said she didn’t feel comfortable here.”

“I see. Oh, you know what? I got you something. I hope you like it.”

Gun-Ho gave Mori Aikko the cosmetics and perfume he purchased at the duty-free shop at the airport.

“Wow. Saikodawa (You are the best)!”

Gun-Ho and Mori Aikko sat at the dining table face-to-face and enjoyed Sukiyaki together. They looked like a married couple who were having dinner at home after work.

At that moment, Gun-Ho thought of Min-Hyeok Kim.

“He said he wanted to marry the Korean Chinese girl. He would probably feel the same way I do right now when he is having dinner with a girl like this.”

Gun-Ho, let out a sigh unwittingly.

“What’s wrong, Oppa? Are you feeling tired?”

“No, I’m okay.”

“Why don’t you go to the room and lay down in bed? I prepared comfortable clothes for you. I will wash your feet for you.”

Gun-Ho felt asleep while Mori Aikko was washing his feet. When he woke up a while later, he found Mori Aikko sleeping in his arms.

Mori Aikko lost her parents when she was a little girl. It seemed like she considered Gun-Ho as her parents and her lover at the same time. It seemed she wanted to depend on Gun-Ho just like a child depended on her parents. The word, ‘sponsor’ had partially included that sort of meaning.

Gun-Ho once again had a dream-like night in Tokyo and came back to Korea the following day.

Attorney Young-Jin Kim called Gun-Ho after talking with Angelina Rein and scheduling the interview date with her.

“Our interview date is scheduled for next Thursday at 2 pm. It will be held in their second meeting room. We will be meeting with Ms. Angelina Rein and the vice president of the International Business Development Department of Dyeon.”

“That’s good. Maybe we’d better arrive at Seattle a day before the interview day?”

“Sounds good. We can take a flight that will arrive in the morning. If we leave at night on Tuesday we will arrive the next day in the morning. It will take more than 10 hours to get to Seattle even we take a non-stop Korean Air.”

“It’s really far.”

The team leader of Gun-Ho’s company’s International Business Development Team entered Gun-Ho’s office.

“Sir, I talked with H capital. They said they can make a lease of the equipment to us. They even sent us a price chart for reference. The chart is made based on equipment that is worth 100 million won.”

“That’s nice.”

“The manager of H Capital wanted to pay a visit to our factory. They will need your approval in addition to the company’s certificate of a registered seal, certificate of formation, registered stamp, and etc.”

“You can check with the general affairs department for all the relevant documents.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Did you also talk with the customs agent for importing machines?”

“Yes, they said we can. However, we might not need to import them.”

“Why is that?”

“I found an authorized dealer that is selling the same machines in Korea. I already checked with them. They confirmed that they currently have several of them in their warehouse. They said we could visit their warehouse to verify. Would you like to pay a visit to their store?”

“Will you call for Manager Park from the production department for me?”

Manager Jong-Suk Park entered Gun-Ho’s office. Jong-Suk was careful in selecting words when he talked to Gun-Ho since the International Business Development Team’s leader was with them in the office.

“Did you call for me, sir?”

“An authorized dealer for machines in Korea claimed that they have several extruding machines from Germany, which we want to purchase. Will you visit their store and verify it?”

“Yes, sir.”

“When you go there, take the team leader of the International Business Development with you. And check all the necessary information about the machines; such as their price, manufacture year, A/S, etc.”

“Yes, sir.”

“Also, once you bring the machines, do not install them here, but install them to our new factory in Jiksan Town. We will have to move to that location soon anyway.”

“Yes, sir.”

Manager Jong-Suk Park and the International Business Development Team leader answered at the same time.
