Story of a Big Player from Gangnam - Chapter 545
Chapter 545: A Group’s Secret Proposal (4) – Part 2
Gun-Ho was talking with GH Mobile’s President Jang-Hwan Song in his office.
“Oh, that’s right. Mr. Minister Jin-Woo Park is the son-in-law of A Group’s chairman, and he presided over your wedding.”
President Song looked at Gun-Ho with an anxious look on his face.
“This is top-secret for now, but there will be some changes in our shares.”
“Oh, is that right?”
President Song’s eyes widened.
“I will give you more details as things are unfolded further.”
“I understand, sir. I will now get back to work then.”
President Song gave a light node to Gun-Ho before leaving the office.
Gun-Ho made a call to A Electronics’ CEO Park.
“I’ve made my decision. I will accept your proposal. I’d like to have the contract signed for the product order first.”
“You made the right decision, Mr. President Goo. I will arrange meetings for the product order. I will inform A Electronics’ chief officer of the research center in Suwon City and the executive officer of the purchasing department in Dangjin City. I want you to send your GH Mobile’s executive officer in charge and the research center’s chief officer to us tomorrow.”
“I will do that.”
Gun-Ho made a call to President Song who just left Gun-Ho’s office.
“Mr. President Song, you will probably need to meet people from A Electronics tomorrow, like their research center’s chief officer from Suwon City location and their executive officer in the purchasing department from the factory in Danjin City. Once I receive the confirmation for the meeting, I will let you know.”
“Yes, sir.”
Gun-Ho called for the research center’s chief officer— Mr. Joon-Soo Oh.
“Did you want to see me, sir?”
“Please have a seat. You know of A Electronics, right?”
“Of course, sir. I know several people in their research center as well.”
“We might be able to get some product orders from them.”
“Is that right?”
“They will let us know by tomorrow. If they decide to give us a deal, please visit their company with Mr. President Song.”
“People say that they have the best testing devices in Korea. If I get an opportunity to visit their site, I will take a look at them.”
Gun-Ho received a call from A Electronics’ CEO Park who was working in their head office in Euljiro.
“Please have your personnel visit our research center in Suwon City by 10 am tomorrow. I already talked with the research center’s chief officer. He will be expecting them. I’ve arranged the meeting with Mr. Director of the purchasing department in Dangjin City at 2 pm tomorrow as well. He is the director of the purchasing department and also the plant manager.”
“Okay.”
“Our research center’s chief officer will give you the product drawings of the newly developed products, and you can get their molds from the plant manager of the factory in Danjin City. Right before we make our contract for the products, the investigators from our company will visit your factory.”
“Of course. I understand that.”
Gun-Ho gave a call to President Song.
“The meeting with A Electronics’ research center’s chief officer is set to 10 am tomorrow. You will need to visit their research center in Suwon City. And, at 2 pm, you will need to meet with the plant manager of their factory in Dangjin City. He is also the director of their purchasing department.”
“Okay, sir.”
“Take our research center’s chief officer— Director Joon-Soo Oh— with you.”
“Okay, sir. And, I’d like to bring Director Jong-Suk Park when we visit their factory in Dangjin City.”
“Director Jong-Suk Park? What about Manager Chang-Hoon Seo in the sales department?”
“Director Jong-Suk Park is an expert in the technical field. I think I will need him there.”
“Okay, then. Go with him.”
Gun-Ho received a call from his sister.
“Thank you Gun-Ho for buying a car for my husband.”
“Did you buy one?”
“We will make the purchase contract tomorrow.”
“Do you know which car you want?”
“Yeah. We will get a K7.”
“Good.”
“My husband is a successful man now because of his brother-in-law. Thank you so much, Gun-Ho.”
“If GH Logistics generates a good income, that would be good for both of us. And, I’m so glad that the company is being run by my sister and brother-in-law who I trust.”
“I’ve talked with my husband, and we decided to use one car to commute. We will leave my Sonata at the company so I can use the car whenever my husband is out of office to meet with a client or something.”
“Sounds good.”
“President Moon left already, right?”
“Yeah. He said he wouldn’t come here again.”
“Did you ask him all the questions you had? Do you think you can handle the work?”
“Yeah, President Moon explained them all. I think I can do it. I remember that I used to explain things to him when he asked me something for his homework when we were in school. And, I tapped his head with a meter stick whenever he didn’t understand things. Now, the roles are reversed, and he is the one who is teaching me. Hahaha.”
“Is your husband with you now?”
“A neighbor came over, and he is talking with him in another room. He is the owner of an auto repair shop nearby.”
“An auto repair shop?”
“My husband inquired about maintenance and testing service that they provide the other day. And he came over himself to talk further about it, knowing that we are a new transportation company here.”
“I see.”
“According to my husband, we need to have our freight trucks receive a test every year if they have been used for business, and if they were more than two years old. Once they become five years old, it is required to have them tested every six months.”
“He had been working in a transportation company for a long while. I guess he is an expert in that field. But, he can choose the testing site close to the workplace where those trucks are dispatched.”
“That’s true. But, he said that sometimes he just needs to know the overall condition of the vehicles. So, when a truck is available without work, then he would have it tested.”
“You know how to handle the Four Major Public Insurance, right?”
“Yeah. There is an information liaison center for the Four Major Public Insurance. They handle the acquisition and loss of the qualification.”
“Really?”
“Since we don’t hire or terminate workers that often, there is not much work in that field.”
“I see.”
“I’ve organized the statements for the expenses and their receipts in a sequence of dates. I will need to take it to the tax accountant office later. You don’t mind me changing to another tax accountant office in the area, do you?”
“Not at all. Do as you feel more comfortable. Except for the work that is related to my investment, I don’t get involved in an operating company. Do you like working with your husband? You now have to see him at home and also at work every day.”
“Well, there are good days and bad days. You know what? Some of the truck drivers here are old colleagues of my husband.”
“Really?”
“One of our truck drivers visited the office earlier for the paperwork related to his dependent of his medical insurance. He was from Eumseong Town. When he saw my husband, he looked surprised and said, ‘Bro, what are you doing here?'”
“Haha, really?”
“When he told him that he would be running the company from now, that truck driver looked excited. He asked my husband to have a drink.”
“Well, your husband had been in the transportation industry for quite a while. It doesn’t surprise me if he encounters familiar faces while working there. It seems that the work is a perfect fit for him.”
“You know, the land that we leased through Onbid is so huge that I think I will install a patio umbrella there with a table and chairs, you know, those light plastic chairs that are often used by a convenience store. Do you think I can do some barbecue there with our truck drivers sometimes?”
“Haha. Well, it’s up to you, sister.”
“Do you know what Jeong-Ah said when I told her that her daddy is now the president of a company?”
“What did she say? She likes it, huh?”
“That kid said, ‘my uncle probably made it happen.'”
“Hmm, really? Kids pick up things very quickly. I guess we need to be careful in talking when she is around.”
