Chapter 331: Tokyo Sonata (2) – Part 2
Once Gun-Ho came back from Japan, he headed straight to Dyeon Korea.
“Did we receive the no. 3 and no. 4 machines?”
All the machines were in place. With the huge machines from no. 1 to no. 4, the factory looked like a really large factory.
“Hey, Jong-Suk, I didn’t expect to see you here.”
“Oh, bro! When did you come?”
“How’s the installation going? Is it done?”
“We are working on connecting the machines to the power. The work became a lot easier since we have the new maintenance team’s manager. We can finish the work quickly.”
“How is the new manager of the maintenance team?”
“He is good.”
At that moment, Gun-Ho and Jong-Suk heard someone tapping something.
Jong-Suk quickly turned his head to the source of the noise, and shouted,
“Mr. Assistant Manager, you shouldn’t beat a metal, but you have to appease it.”
Gun-Ho giggled as Jong-Suk instructed the assistant manager about how to treat a metal.
“What? Appease the metal? Man, you sound like a whiz.”
Gun-Ho had lunch with Jong-Suk that day. Gun-Ho asked him,
“Their design team lead’s name is Min-Sook Oh. We will have to pay them for the work though.”
“Of course, sir.”
“Don’t we need to do some advertisements in a newspaper or media in order to enhance our sales?”
“Dyeon Korea’s customers are not individuals, but companies in a specific field, which are manufacturing plastic products with injection molding machines and extruders. So, an advertisement through media won’t be necessary.”
“Oh, I was going to tell you. Please go visit Egnopak.”
“Egnopak, sir?”
“Yes. Try Egnopak. Don’t meet with anyone else there, but meet with President Seung-Gak Kim. Tell him that I sent you, and give him our product brochure.”
“That’s all I need to say, sir? Egnopak is a competitor with GH Mobile.”
“He made his promise to use Dyeon Korea’s products. You don’t need to know all the details, but just tell him that I sent you.”
“Understood, sir.”
Director Dong-Chan Kim headed to Jinwi Town in Pyeongtaek City to visit Egnopak’s factory. He was carrying Dyeon Korea’s product brochure with some sample products. When he arrived at the factory, he walked straight up to the president’s office. When he entered the president’s office after a brief knocking, the secretary quickly stood up from her seat.
“Is President Seung-Gak Kim in the office?”
“Can I have your name, sir?”
“I’m Director Dong-Chan Kim from Dyeon Korea.”
“Please have a seat. I will let our president know that you are here.”
The secretary went into the president’s office and came out.
“Please follow me.”
“Hello, Mr. President.”
Director Dong-Chan Kim gave a 90-degree bow to the Egnopak’s president.
“Manager Kim, oh, I mean Director Kim. Please have a seat.”
Director Dong-Chan Kim’s sales pitch started.
“Sir, you don’t age even a bit. You look the same as the old days when we were Mulpasaneop with our previous president Se-Young Oh. Former President Se-Young Oh still talked about you, sir. He said he wanted to pay back for your help but he had to retire before he could do so.”
“Haha. Did he say so? How is he doing?”
“Well, he has a small building in Suwon City. He said he feels peaceful these days.”
“Time indeed flies. I still remember those days when I and President Se-Young Oh went golfing together. At that time, you, Manager Kim, oh, I mean Director Kim, used to come with us to assist. You were in your 30s at that time. Now you have some grey hairs.”
Director Dong-Chan Kim was a professional salesperson. He didn’t go straight into the sales business as Gun-Ho told him to do so, but instead, he started with letting the potential buyer feel nostalgia for a while. That usually worked great with old people.
