<h4>Chapter 423: Wedding (3) – Part 2</h4>
After Artist Hwang left, Gun-Ho came back to the ss. The ss president asked for Gun-Ho. The ss president was an incumbent minister. His wife’s father was the president of D Group, and his wife was a major shareholder of D Group.
“Mr. ss Manager, I have something to discuss with you.”
Gun-Ho quickly went to him.
“Do you see the person sitting in the first row with a lot of gray hair? He was recently promoted from a deputy minister to a minister. Let’s send him an orchid nt to congratte him on his promotion with our ss’ name.”
“That’s a good idea.”
“Do we have enough funds for it? We collected 100,000 won from each person for dinnerst time.”
“We still have 150,000 left from it.”
“I think that should be enough to buy an orchid nt.”
“I will get one for 50,000 won.”
“Send him a 70,000 won one.”
“Okay. Then we will be left with 80,000 won.”
“Hmm, our ss funds seem to be way too low.”
“Do you want me to collect more from everyone again?”
“Nah. I will contribute more myself.”
“You don’t have to bear it all by yourself. I will just ask everyone to contribute.”
“Since I’m the president of this ss, I will make a one-time special contribution for the ss.”
As he offered a special contribution, the ss president took out his wallet and gave a check of 1 million won to Gun-Ho.
“Wow. This is too much.”
“We will need that much. You will see. We will encounter all kinds of asions like someone’s wedding, funeral, job promotion, and etc. that we will require us to spend money for.”
Gun-Ho walked to the front facing the students and spoke to the ss, “May I have your attention, please? I have announcements to make to you all.”
Everyone looked at Gun-Ho.
“One of our ssmates here was recently promoted from a deputy minister to a minister. It’s Mr. xxx Park. We will send him a congrattory flower—an orchid nt as a group.”
“Of course, we should.”
“That’s nice.”
People praised Gun-Ho for handling the asion well and pped. The minister, who would receive a congrattory flower from the ss, swept his grey hair up and thanked everyone.
“I have another announcement to make. Thest time when we had dinner together, we collected 100,000 won from each of you. Now we have 80,000 won left from it, and our ss funds were about to be depleted if it was not for our ss president. Our ss president made a special contribution to our ss and offered 1 million won. Let’s give him a big round of apuse to show our gratitude to him.”
The students pped loudly again. The ss president nodded his head to the ss while sitting on his chair.
“Just 1 million won? His father-inw owns a conglomerate. 10 million won would sound more appropriate.”
Other fellow ministers made a joke about the amount of the contribution that the ss president made. They seemed to be close to each other like friends. They often talked to each other in an informal way.
“Next announcement is,”
“You have more?”
Everyone looked at Gun-Ho’s face again.
“As you received the wedding invitationsst time, Mr. General in the back will have her daughter’s wedding this Saturday. Please go there and congratte him.”
The general quickly stood up and said, “I know that you all are busy. If you don’t have time or have a prior engagement, you don’t have toe. Also, I would appreciate it if you do not send any congrattory wreaths to the wedding.”
The general seemed to have something more to tell to the ss, and when he tried to continue, the professor came in the ssroom.
The Advanced Center for Administrative Development gave two sses in the evening, and each of themsted 90 minutes. Gun-Ho could usually get off the ss before 10 pm.
The ss that day ended, and everyone was preparing to leave when Gun-Ho went to the ss president.
“Mr. President, what do we want to do about sending a congrattory wreath to the general’s daughter’s wedding? He said earlier that he didn’t want to receive any.”
“Well, even though he said so, I think we should send one to him.”
“Okay, sir. I will do that then.”
Gun-Ho then took out his business card from the inner pocket of his jacket and handed it to the ss president.
“This is my business card. If you need to ask me to do something, you have my contact.”
The ss president looked at Gun-Ho’s business card and said, “You have several businesses.”
“They are all smallpanies.”
“The address is Jiksan Town in Cheonan City?! I actually go there often. I have a friend there who is running a country club.”
The ss president gave his business card to Gun-Ho as well.
GH Mobile’s President Song had exchanged a few emails with an executive officer of Chrysler who he met in Chicago. He then gave a report to Gun-Ho saying that he received a product drawing from that Chrysler’s executive officer.
“This also requires double extrusion like our AM083 Assembly that we brought to the motor show in Chicago.”
“It’s for internalbustion engine vehicles, is it?”
“Yes, it is. The order volume is not high, but it’s from Chrysler which is a global car manufacturer. This is a good opportunity for us to build up a business rtionship with them. This will probably lead us to a bigger business opportunityter.”
“Are we capable of producing what they are asking?”
“We have the product drawing, and they said they would send us a sample product. I don’t see why we wouldn’t be able to make it.”
“Oh, they would send us a sample product? That means they already have a mould, doesn’t it?”
“The vendor that used to supply those parts to them filed for bankruptcy, and the mould is lost.”
“Hmm, then it’s not a newly developed product. I guess it’s hard to expect to see an increase of the product order then.”
“Still, it’s worth taking the order from them. Ourpany will be registered as a vendorpany for Chrysler. It will tremendously help our marketing effort.”
“Okay. Let’s do that.”
Gun-Ho went to Dyeon Korea. He hadn’t been to thepany for a while now.
The former GH Mobile’s internal auditor already started working for Dyeon Korea. When Gun-Ho arrived at Dyeon Korea, the internal auditor greeted him with pleasure.
“How’s it? Are youfortable here?”
“Yes, sir. I like it here. The work environment is pleasant, and the workload is moderate. Since I once worked with Ms. Jo in the ounting team before, it’s veryfortable to work with her again.”
“I’m happy to hear that.”
“I talked with Director Yoon earlier. Thepany now has ten machines, and we are in the process of requesting machines no. 11 and no. 12. Also, we are nning to hire more workers in the production team.”
“Hmm, really?”
“Also, we are now seeing a dramatic increase in product orders from China. The president of the salespany in China seems to speak English. She directly talks with Mr. Adam Castler.”
“Of course. She used to teach English in an international school in Shanghai.”
“She is President Min-Hyeok Kim’s spouse, isn’t she?”
“Yes, she is.”
