Chapter 478: Business Tour in India (1) – Part 1
Gun-Ho, by experience, knew how handy a book could be during a long flight. For the trip to India, he carried a few weekly magazines and a novel. He also didn’t forget to wear long sleeves knowing that it could be cold inside the flight.
“Sir, you seem to be very well prepared for the trip. I see you carrying a magazine as well.”
The director person in a small company, who looked like an anchovy, commented. He was the person who sat next to him during the preliminary meeting for this trip. For some reason, he sat next to Gun-Ho again in the flight.
The airplane flew overnight as it passed over the South China Sea and Hong Kong. After finishing reading the weekly magazines that he brought, Gun-Ho grabbed his novel to continue his reading. A flight attendant brought him a blanket.
They finally arrived at Delhi Airport.
“This airport doesn’t look very nice. It seems to be very outdated.”
“I know, right? It looks like an airport in a province in China.”
After they all passed the immigration and customs, they got in a tour bus that was waiting for them at the arrival exit. A man, who looked like he was about the same age as Gun-Ho, came onto the bus. He was wearing glasses. He spoke to the party,
“Welcome to India. You are here for the business tour. I am the assistant manager of KOTRA’s branch office in India.”
One of India’s official languages was English, and it seemed that every worker for KOTRA in India spoke English very well. Well, KOTRA required high qualification for their new hires, and it wasn’t surprising that they required English speaking capability for those who would work in KOTRA’s branch office in India. Most of the workers with an assistant manager position would probably be about the same age as Gun-Ho.
‘I wonder how much they are getting paid for their job at KOTRA.’
Gun-Ho was receiving approximately 40 million won in total as a monthly salary excluding dividends or other income being generated from his personal assets. His salary with GH Mobile was 15 million won, and he was receiving another 15 million from Dyeon Korea; he also was getting 3 million won from GH Media and 7 million won from GH Development. Even with the highest qualification, it would be hard to find someone who would get this much in Korea except those with a wealthy family business. Moreover, Gun-Ho’s interest income was at least 4 billion won annually.
“Wow, look at the street trees. Those are beautiful.”
Gun-Ho thought that India probably had the most amazing roadside trees in the world. They were tall and fully grown trees just like Ginko trees in Yongmun Mountain in Korea. The streets in India were not very clean, but their streets were incredibly gorgeous. Indian people had dark complexions, and the streets were messy. Gun-Ho couldn’t have a good first impression of the country.
There were tons of signage stands standing on the street. Gun-Ho saw many Japanese signages among them, such as Toyota, Honda, and Toshiba. Korean signages were found as well—Hyundai and Samsung. When Gun-Ho saw Korean standing signboards, he felt good.
