<h4>Chapter 506: Sister and Brother-In-Law (2) – Part 1</h4>


    After dinner, Gun-Ho went into his sister’s couple’s room because he wanted to talk with them in private. They sat on the floor with a small floor table between them. While having his tea, Gun-Ho made his suggestion.


    “Don’t you want to run a business rather than driving a wing-body truck?”


    His brother-inw smiled bitterly and said, “Of course, I want to run my own business, but I have no seed money to start it and no special experience to start it without seed money. Driving a truck is the best I can think I can do in my current situation. I’m sorry that I’m living in your parents’ house because of my financial situation.”


    “Well, if you don’t get a chance to do it, then it is what it is. But since you have been in the transportation field, I think you can start your business in that field.”


    “I’m not sure what types of transportation business I can just start.”


    “There is a transportationpany in Seonghwan Town. Are you interested in running that business?”


    “A transportationpany?”


    Gun-Ho’s sister seemed to be intrigued, and she sat close to Gun-Ho.


    “You know that driving a body-wing truck is risky. You are exposed to all sorts of car idents all the time. I really think that you should run thispany rather than continuing to drive a truck. It’s not a bigpany though.”


    “There are several different types of transportation businesses— automobiles transportation, freight trucks transportation, connecting freight transportation, etc. Which one specifically are you talking about?”


    “I knew you were knowledgeable in this field. Thispany provides total transportation service.”


    “I guess it’s a freight transportation business then.”


    “It currently has 27 trucks.”


    “27 trucks? Wow!”


    Gun-Ho’s sister and her husband were surprised when they heard the number of trucks that thepany had.


    “All of 27 are all freight trucks?”


    “No. They have heavy equipment, 25-ton dump trucks, and semi-tractor-trailer trucks.”


    “There should be someone already who is running thatpany and also its workers.”


    “A president is running thatpany with one male worker and one female worker who is handling bookkeeping mostly. That’s it. All others are truck drivers.”


    “Sounds good, but the thing is...”


    When Gun-Ho’s brother-inw let out a deep sigh, Gun-Ho’s sister asked her husband, “What’s the matter, honey?”


    “The most critical thing in running a transportationpany is getting a steady workflowing in. That’s not easy at all. Otherwise, you will have all of those trucks parked in thepany yard, but you still have to pay the truck drivers.”


    Gun-Ho smiled.


    “That’s true, but thispany has already-established clients.”


    “Regr clients?”


    “Thepanies that I’m running are the clients of thatpany. All sorts of transportation work needed for mypanies are being handled by that transportationpany. In addition, it currently has several clients with a six-month contract. Its heavy equipment is being used for road work under a three-year contract as well.”


    “Hmm, really?”


    Gun-Ho wrote down the website address of GH Logistics on a piece of paper and gave it to his brother-inw.


    “This is their website. Visit their website to find out more when you have time.”


    “Hmm, okay. Is their president going somewhere? Or do you run thatpany too?”


    “Their president is going to China.”


    “China?”


    Gun-Ho’s sister and her husband looked at each other with questioning looks on their faces.


    “He will be running a terminal and an intercity bus business in a city in Guizhou Province, China.”


    “A terminal and an intercity bus service?”


    Gun-Ho’s sister and her husband looked at each other again in surprise.


    “That... that sort of business costs an enormous amount of money. Who is investing in it?”


    “Well, just know that their president is going away for another work.”


    “Okay. I guess I need some time to process what you just offered to me.”


    “By the way, I know you have been in the transportation industry for a long time, but I’m not sure how you would do in administrative work and management. You know how to use aputer at work, right?”


    “That... I think I can learn as I work.”


    At that moment, Gun-Ho’s sister chipped in quickly.


    “I can help him with it. I do a lot of administrative work in the nursing home where I work as a social worker. I can handle Word and Excel. Also, I have worked with Spreadsheet as well.”


    “Do you think you would have time to help him while you work as a social worker?”


    “Well, I can help him at night, or when I’m off from my work.”


    “Hmm, really?”


    Gun-Ho actually wanted his sister to work at GH Logistics rather than working in a nursing home. His brother-inw can handle the truck drivers and maintenance of the trucks, but as to the paperwork, his sister would do a better job in managing and doing administrative work.


    “Sister, how much do you make at the nursing home?”


    “Me? 1.9 million won.”


    Gun-Ho looked at his brother-inw’s face. He had his eyes closed. It seemed that he was lost in thought.


    Gun-Ho thought that his brother-inw was a good-looking man. He had thick eyebrows and a straight-edged nose. His profile looked perfect to Gun-Ho, even though he wasn’t a strong-minded person. Jeong-Ah— Gun-Ho’s niece— must have taken after her father.


    Gun-Ho’s brother-inw was born and grew up in Jeongeup City, Jeo Province. When he met Gun-Ho’s sister, he was working in the logistics department of a factory in Incheon City. His sister was working in a production site at that time. He didn’t go to college, and he was a very earnest man. That was why his sister fell in love with him, which led to their marriage. He was an earnest man, but he was not a proactive man.


    ‘As long as my sister supports him, he can run a smallpany without a problem. His earnestness will keep thepany stable.’


    “Brother! What are you thinking?”


    “Huh? Oh, nothing.”


    “That transportationpany in Seonghwan Town needs to be moved though. Because of the investment that I’m nning to make in China, I ced itsnd on the market for sale. If you decide to run thepany, we will need to lease a new ce.”


    “We need to find a cheap ce then, like somewhere under an elevated highway or near a river. A business like that doesn’t need a good location but just needs a space to ce trucks and a small office. It’s more important to keep the operating cost low.”


    “I totally agree with you.”


    “Even though there are 27 trucks, we don’t need a space to park all of them. If 70% of the trucks are always being used, we just need a space for the remaining 8 trucks.”


    Gun-Ho thought that maybe his brother-inw would do a way better job than Jae-Sik Moon in running the freight transportationpany. Jae-Sik seemed to fit better with a bus service business.


    As getting ready to leave the room, Gun-Ho said to both his sister and brother-inw, “You still have time to think about it because I need to sell thend first, where thepany is sitting on right now. Once it’s sold, I will let you know. I need that money to invest in China. Once the investment in China starts, you can take over that transportationpany. In the meanwhile, please search for a good location for thepany to move to and get ready.”


    “Okay.”
