Chapter 380: Basecamp For The Transportation Company (2) – Part 1
Gun-Ho and Jae-Sik entered the auto repair shop for sale after unlocking the padlock at the entrance. Jae-Sik looked around out of curiosity.
“What do you think? We can throw out these things and clean the place.”
“Hmm. The office is very spacious. I think we should keep some of these desks; they still look good. We just need to clean the place. I see the potential. It can become a great factory. Also, the yard is so big that we can park tens of heavy machinery without any problem.”
“So, you like it? If you like it, I will sign the purchase contract.”
“You said, it is priced for more than 2 billion won, is it?”
“It’s 1.96 billion won to be exact.”
Jae-Sik sighed and said, “I’ve never and probably will never be able to touch that kind of amount of money in my life.”
“I have it.”
“Really?”
Jae-Sik looked at Gun-Ho with a respectful look.
“If you like it, I will sign the contract today. I will have the workers of GH Mobile clean the place. You just need to move in.”
Jae-Sik couldn’t say a word for a second in an overflowing excitement, and then he said, “Don’t throw out everything. I can still use some of the desks in the office.”
“I will get you new ones. I want you to start fresh. You don’t even have any office worker yet anyway. I will get you a nice desk. Also, I will get rid of the tent over there and will buy a PVC canopy for a replacement.”
“I don’t want you to spend too much money on this.”
“Don’t worry about money. How many vehicles do we currently have in GH Logistics?”
“I have no idea.”
“Professor of Sungkonghoe University—Young-Bok Shin—wrote this.”
“You mean the person who spent years in prison?”
“Yeah, that’s him. He spent twenty years in prison for violating the Anticommunist Law. He said he met a scholar of Chinese literature there and learned Chinese letters from him in prison.”
“Wow. He spent twenty years in prison? His youth was spent in prison.”
“Yeah, it’s a shame. He passed away recently.”
“Oh, he passed away? That’s a shame. Well, eat more. I heard that a ghost who ate good food while he was still alive gets a better complexion.”
After lunch, Gun-Ho dropped Jae-Sik off at the Seonghwan station.
“I will talk to you later.”
“Thank you for lunch. See you.”
Gun-Ho turned his car around and headed to the realtor’s office. He felt so sleepy while driving even though he only drank half a glass of soju with lunch. He parked his car somewhere safe and took a nap, and he started snoring.
There was once a gathering for local business owners of small and medium-sized companies in Asan City. At that time, a staff from an economy council committee came and took a survey from the business owners. Questions like how often they travel abroad, their hobbies, and how many books they read per month were asked.
Gun-Ho wrote that his hobby was taking a nap. He played golf sometimes, but he wouldn’t call it a hobby because he didn’t really enjoy it. He usually spent time with his friends and people at work. He didn’t really socialize with a politician or government official. He didn’t even hang out with other business owners either. He didn’t want to attend the gathering that day, but he came because he couldn’t think of any excuse to avoid it.
The local economy council committee’s staff presented the result of the survey at the end of the gathering.
“The most popular hobby among business owners is playing golf as expected. 70% of you answered playing golf is their hobby. Some of you do mountain climbing and fishing and also traveling abroad in your spare time. One person had a unique hobby though. It was taking a nap.”
“What? Taking a nap?”
The people in the gathering started laughing hard. Gun-Ho loved taking a nap, but it never lasted more than thirty minutes.
