Chapter 716 - H Group’s CEO Choi (1) – Part 1
Gun-Ho attended Minister Jin-Woo Park’s book publication party that day.
The large screen in the auditorium was showing the cover page of Minister Jin-Woo Park’s book. The auditorium room was filled with a lot of people who came to celebrate his book publishing.
“Oh, Mr. President Goo, you came.”
Gun-Ho turned around; a group of his classmates from the Advanced Center for Administrative Development were standing there. The congressman who was talkative was there. Also, Mr. Minister from another department came as well. Gun-Ho could see the commanding officer of three-star rank who had always been quietly sitting at his desk when they took classes together. Gun-Ho had a handshake with his classmates to show his delightedness to see them again. Gun-Ho met the district attorney general and also the police commissioner from his class at the party.
“Mr. President Goo, why don’t you come here and sit with me.”
It was CEO Park from A Group’s planning and coordination department; he came early and was sitting at a table. The news reporters and journalists were busy taking pictures and interviewing politicians mostly, and they were not interested in talking with any businessmen there.
CEO Park asked, “Have your company’s sales increased?”
“It’s still on the rise. We recently opened our second factory next door and increased our production capacity. We are more than ready to manufacture more products once we receive additional product orders.”
“Minister Jin-Woo’s Park’s book publication party today is his gesture, tossing his hat in the ring. Take a good look at it.”
“Is he getting into a political party?”
CEO Park nodded his head without saying anything.
At that moment, a tall gentleman with white hair tapped CEO Park’s shoulder from his back.
“Mr. CEO Park, you are here.”
“Oh, Mr. CEO Choi.”
Gun-Ho moved to the next seat offering his current seat which was next to CEO Park’s to the gentleman.
Gun-Ho opened Minister Jin-Woo Lee’s book while having his coffee. It was not a fun book to read; it contained a lot of cliché and information that he could easily find by simply searching the internet. After reading about ten pages of the book, Gun-Ho finally closed the book.
Gun-Ho received a call from Jae-Sik Moon from Antang City, China.
“It’s me, Jae-Sik Moon.”
“Oh, hi. How are you?”
“We started providing the intercity bus service to the new cities with the permit that they recently gave to us for the two bus lines.”
“I guess the sales must have increased, huh?”
“Yeah, but not a whole lot though. Since the two new cities that we are providing with the bus service are small cities, there are not many passengers.”
“What are those two new cities?”
“They are Liupanshui Shi and Hechi Shi. The golden line is the one to Guiyang City of course. If they allow us to run more busses to Guiyang City, we will make a fortune, but they are refusing to give us the permit. Two additional busses are going to Guiyang City, but they gave the permit for those two buses to the Antang City’s transportation company, not to our joint venture. Sons of b*tches!”
“Don’t get too emotional about it. I knew that they would do such a thing.”
“I was told that those two additional buses that are connecting to Guiyang City were initially meant for our joint venture, but since they haven’t received the second investment fund from Korea, they gave them to the Antang Transportation Company. They are provoking us.”
“Haha, really? How about the terminal construction? Are they continuously building it?”
“The first floor is done, and they are working on the floor right now. I stopped by there today. Tens of lady workers were rubbing the floor. I guess that they were polishing the floor.”
“Since it is a public building, its floor must be important. Thousands of people will walk on that floor on a daily basis.”
“Yeah, that’s true.”
“You must have already opened the deep-fried chicken restaurant by now. How is business?”
“We are making less with the deep-fried chicken restaurant than with our KFC, but its sales are steadily increasing. I see a lot of recurring customers, and that excites me.”
“Many new restaurants receive a lot of customers in the beginning as a newly opened restaurant, and later, they found themselves losing them all. Getting more and more customers as time goes by is better.”
“We are making about 6,000 Yuan per day.”
“Hmm, is that so? It’s about 1 million Korean won.”
“I did my math already with 6,000 Yuan. Even if it sounds not bad, we don’t produce enough profits with that amount. Soon-Young’s mom set her goal to 30,000 Yuan for the KFC and 20,000 Yuan for the deep-fried chicken as their daily sales.”
“It will be 50,000 Yuan per day in total then. It’s 8.5 million Korean won which is not bad at all.”
“Haha. Yeah, we will keep trying to achieve that goal.”
