Chapter 713 - Secret Affair in Seattle (2) – Part 2
When they were almost done with the dinner, Gun-Ho suggested, “I have a nice black tea in my hotel room at Sheraton Walkerhill Hotel. Why don’t we go there and have a cup of tea? It’s a suite room, so there is a living room where we can talk without being interrupted.”
Gun-Ho always stayed in a hotel suite room during his business trip, especially if he had an important matter that he needed to discuss with someone. A suite room in a hotel provided a living room that was separate from a bedroom. He liked to discuss business with people in the hotel living room because it was private and quiet, and no one would hear the conversation in his hotel room.
“Sure. Let’s go,” Mr. Brandon Burke said as he stood up from his seat.
Gun-Ho prepared three cups of black tea himself in his hotel suite room at Sheraton, and placed them on the table for Mr. Brandon Burke and Professor Han.
Mr. Brandon Burke sipped his tea as he crossed his legs. Gun-Ho also crossed his legs and took a sip of his tea.
“The work that you are doing with Lymondell Dyeon must make you feel tired at the end of the day, doesn’t it? It’s hard work,” Gun-Ho said to Mr. Burke.
“It is true that it’s not easy work since I have to manage all Lymondell Dyeon’s joint ventures and subsidiary companies scattered all over the world. But, it is certainly a rewarding work as well.”
Gun-Ho said in a low voice, “Are you retiring in December of this year?”
“It’s actually September.”
“Do you have a plan about what you want to do after you retire? Are you going to open your own business?”
“No, I’m not interested in opening my own business. I want to take some time off from work for a while and take a rest. In the meantime, if a company offers me a job, maybe I will work for them.”
“What would you say if I offer you a position in Chennai, India?”
Vice President Brandon Burke smiled instead of saying something back.
He then asked, “You don’t even have a factory in India. What position are you talking about?”
“We are going to acquire an existing factory building there, instead of constructing a factory from scratch. We have abundant human resources. Once we acquire a factory building there, we just need to set up production lines and send the necessary chemicals. We can get it started right away then.”
“Hmm.”
“They are not selling the screws to Dyeon Korea, but they will sell them to GH Mobile.”
“That will make them feel better since they are selling their products to the third company that doesn’t have ‘Dyeon’ in its name. Give me time to think about it. Once I make my decision, I will send you the company’s phone number via email. That’s all I can do for you about it. It’s up to you how you use that information. You will have to contact them and negotiate with them to buy their screws, Mr. President Goo.”
“We will set up a nice factory in Chennai. I will make sure that all the production lines and a compound room perfectly be in place before your arrival there. You just need to come to work.”
“Sounds good. What we said in this room must stay strictly between you and me. No one should know about what we talked about today, especially Mr. Adam Castler.”
“I know. That’s why I didn’t bring Mr. Adam Castler’s interpreter for this trip.”
“That was the right move. Mr. Adam Castler is a loyal man, and I do trust him. I just don’t want to take any risk of leaking the secret.”
“I understand what you mean.”
“Lymondell Dyeon will have Mr. Adam Castler take the president position of Dyeon Korea unless there is an extraordinary event or something. Also, I’ve already recommended him for the position as well.”
“I will be more than happy if Mr. Adam Castler runs Dyeon Korea as its president from next year,” Gun-Ho replied.
Mr. Brandon Burke stood up from his seat as he extended his hand to Gun-Ho for a handshake.
“Again, what I said in this room today cannot go outside this room. You have to promise me that.”
“Likewise, Mr. Brandon Burke. I don’t want anyone to find out what I said to you in this room today.”
The two men had a firm handshake.
