Chapter 628 - Participating in producing a Chinese Drama 2 – Part 1
“I’d better give a call to Jae-Sik Moon to let him know.”
On the way from the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China in his Bentley, Gun-Ho made a call to Jae-Sik Moon.
“President Moon, is it a good time to talk?”
“Yes, it’s good. I just came back from the executive meeting.”
“Is it a meeting where only the people with a position of manager or above could attend?”
“Yes, it is a regular meeting where we talk about the past week and the next week’s plan. You used to have a meeting like that at GH Mobile. You might no longer attend that meeting and let President Song handle it.”
“Was there any good news?”
“We are sending out our people to Guilin Daewoo today to acquire more buses that will be used to connect Antang City with Yibin City and Anshun City. I won’t go with them this time, but the manager of the passenger transportation department and three bus drivers will go there. They were the ones who went to Guilin Daewoo with me last time, and picked up the buses and drove them all the way here, so they should be good on their own. I’m trying to save some travel expenses by sending only essential people.”
“Haha, I see.”
“Also, our manager at the operations department will visit Yibin City and Anshun City today to finalize the deal regarding Banche, with Xiongdi companies. They came to us to initiate the deal, so it’s our turn to visit them this time to make the final agreement.”
“When you say ‘Banche,’ do you mean the number of bus operations per week for a specific bus route?”
“Right. ‘Banche’ means how many times a specific bus will operate in a certain period of time like per week, for example. ‘Xiongdi companies’ mean other bus companies doing the same passenger transportation business.”
“You seem to have studied a lot.”
“Yeah, I’m learning a lot here. You know what? My wife is here with me now. We safely came home here in Antang City yesterday.”
“I hope the trip was comfortable for your wife.”
“Haha, I think so.”
“Does your father-in-law still work?”
“Yeah. He drives his truck and sells small things like socks. It’s hard to find a job at his age, and he seems to be satisfied with the small money that he is making now. My dad actually found a job in Incheon City. He is doing some gardening work that was offered by the city. He said that he didn’t want to impose me by making me pay for his debt. He, at least, wants to make the payment for his debt on his own.”
“Your dad and your father-in-law are great people who should be respected for being responsible and independent. They had a hard time in life financially just because they were not lucky enough. They worked hard for their families. So did my dad. We shouldn’t forget that.”
“That’s true. As I get older, I understand my parents better.”
“Well, I will let you go now. Keep up the good work.”
When Gun-Ho came back to his office after stopping by the Industrial and Commercial Bank of China at Sejong Road, Director Sim visited his office on the 18th floor.
“I’m leaving for Shanghai City tomorrow, sir. I wanted to see you before I leave.”
“President Min-Hyeok Kim will be waiting for you at Pudong Airport. If you have any questions or concerns while you are in China, you can ask him. He will help you.”
“I spoke with President Min-Hyeok Kim earlier today on the phone. He told me that he would be at the airport with an interpreter.”
“That’s good.”
“President Shin gave me 3 million won in advance, and I also received the flight ticket. I guess I’m all set to leave.”
At the moment, Gun-Ho extended his hand to Director Sim for a handshake as he stood up from his seat.
“The most important thing while you live overseas is your health. Especially, you should watch what you eat. Stay healthy.”
“Thank you, sir.”
