Chapter 232 - Lymondell Dyeon’s visit (1) – PART 1
The chief officer of the research center entered Gun-Ho’s office with a resume in his hand.
“Sir, I brought the resume of the person whom I recommended as my successor, earlier.”
Gun-Ho reviewed the resume of the person who might be the next chief officer of Gun-Ho’s company research center. His picture was attached to the resume. According to his resume, he graduated from Yonsei University majoring in Mechanics before he went to Germany to obtain his graduate degree and Ph.D.
“His hometown is Incheon City.”
“Haha. Sir, you are from Incheon City too.”
Gun-Ho closely looked at the resume.
“So he joined BMW research center right after he received his Ph.D. from the Technical University of Munich in Germany. Additionally, he used to work for G Auto in Korea. His resume looks great.”
“Sir, if you look at the bottom of the resume, he listed the development projects he participated in during his employment with BMW.”
“Hmm.”
“Most of all, he is still young so he will be able to assist you, sir, for a long time.”
“I heard you, Mr. Chief Officer. Please tell him to come and visit us here when he has time. I need to see him in person first, don’t I?”
“Of course, sir. I will let him know.”
Gun-Ho usually read a book by himself in his office after he signed reports in the morning. He usually enjoyed reading books that were about business management; however, he also read books on various subjects to expand his knowledge, such as history, politics, society, philosophy, etc. Many people found themselves too busy in life to read a book, but Gun-Ho had time for book reading because he was the boss in the company. As he read more and more books during his spare time, he became clever and gained insight. He also expanded his knowledge simultaneously.
“I will travel overseas more and more often. Speaking English will come in very handy. Even though I speak Chinese as a second language, I will have to learn English too. I am able to at least communicate with Mori Aikko because I know English a bit.”
Gun-Ho installed a TV in his office and frequently watched American soap opera and other TV programs in English, in an effort to improve his English.
Gun-Ho asked for the general affairs manager.
Gun-Ho asked his secretary via the interphone to bring two cups of coffee to his office.
Manager Jong-Suk Park seemed to be wondering why Gun-Ho wanted to talk with him.
The secretary brought coffee.
“Let’s have coffee.”
“Do you… have something that you want to tell me?”
“I heard rumors about you, Jong-Suk. A good one.”
“What did you hear?”
Jong-Suk Park’s eyes widened while holding his cup.
“You are dating a girl, aren’t you?”
Jong-Suk put his cup back to the table and scratched the back of his head as he laughed awkwardly.
“Who told you that?”
“Hey. I, as the president of this company, have to know everything that is going on here. If you have good news like that, you should have told me first.”
“I thought it was too early to tell.”
“I heard she is working at a company around here in Cheonan City. Is that right?”
“Yeah. She is working at an electronics company. She is working in their research center.”
“If she is working in a research center, she must have a bachelor’s degree. Why is she taking classes at Polytechnics College?”
“Right. She graduated from Hanseo University in Dangjin City. She didn’t major in Engineering in college so her company let her take some engineering classes at Polytechnics College. Her company supports her educational tuition just like myself.”
“I guess you will marry before I do.”
“You have to marry before me, bro.”
“I was born before you, but you don’t have to wait for me to marry before you. If you found a decent girl, you marry first.”
“We are not that serious yet. I haven’t really talked about marriage with her.”
“Does the girl like you too?”
“I think so.”
“Then marry her, man. What are you waiting for?”
“I’m trying.”
“How about her parents? Are they from here?”
“Yeah. Her father is a real estate agent, and her mom runs a hair shop. She is living in Jugong condo in Baekseok Town in Cheonan City.”
“I’m so happy for you, Jong-Suk. When you have a chance, set up a meeting with her. I want to see her.”
“Haha. Okay, bro.”
Manager Jong-Suk Park smiled naively.
Lymondell Dyeon sent a message to GH Mobile that they would soon send their personnel to GH Mobile to conduct their due diligence. Gun-Ho immediately contacted Attorney Young-Jin Kim.
“Attorney Kim? It’s me, Gun-Ho Goo. We just received a message from Lymondell Dyeon, they are sending their people here soon.”
“When did they say they would arrive?”
“It’s the 20th of this month. They will send three people including Vice President Brandon Burke.”
“So, Mr. Brandon Burke is coming too, right? That’s really nice. Moreover, they are coming to your factory in Jiksan Town, not the factory in Asan City. Since it is a new advanced factory, I’m sure that they will be impressed.”
“Why don’t you come here too?”
“I will go to Incheon International Airport on the first day to greet them and I will come to your factory in Jiksan Town on the last day of their visit.”
“Why? Can’t you come here every day during their visit?”
“I have other work to do. My presence during their investigation won’t help anything since I have no knowledge about the field. Did you find an interpreter?”
“Not yet. I will find one.”
