<h4>Chapter 780: IPO Presentation (2) – Part 1</h4>
Gun-Ho headed home after work, carrying the presentation document that the internal auditor had handed to him.
When he arrived at home, Gun-Ho started practicing giving the presentation for tomorrow.
“Well, hello to you all. I’m the president of Dyeon Korea—Gun-Ho Goo. Ourpany is a joint venturepany having a partnership with the world-renowned chemicalpany in the U.S.—Lymondell Dyeon...”
At that moment, Young-Eun came into the room and watched Gun-Ho practicing his presentation. When he saw Young-Eun in the room, he said to her feeling embarrassed, “I have a presentation tomorrow. It’s an IPO presentation. I have to speak in front of public investors.”
“Where will the presentation be held?”
“It will be in the Grand Ballroom in the 63 Building.”
“Haha. You picked a nice ce. I guess it’s an important presentation, huh?”
“How is your cold? Are you feeling better now?”
“I’m fine.”
“I feel so relieved that you are good now. I was worried about Sang-Min.”
“So, you are saying that you are d that I’m okay now because of Sang-Min, not for me, huh?”
“Both,” said Gun-Ho as he grabbed Young-Eun’s hand and pulled her close to him into his arms, and then he kissed her.
“Oppa, seeing you practicing for tomorrow’s presentation, I feel like you are just an employee of argepany rather than a wealthy business owner.”
“I think you told me that when we met for the first time.”
Gun-Hoter fell asleep while preparing the presentation for tomorrow.
When Young-Eun stopped by Gun-Ho’s roomter, she found Gun-Ho lying down on the bed with some papers scattered on the bed around him.
After picking up the papers and cing them on the table, Young-Eun kissed Gun-Ho on the cheek, and then she turned off the light before leaving the room.
The following day when Gun-Ho went to work in GH Building, Sinsa Town, he reviewed the IPO presentation materials again.
At that moment, he received a call from GH Mobile’s President Song.
“It’s me, sir, President Song.”
“Oh, hi. I didn’t expect to receive your call in the early morning.”
“Director Jong-Suk Park gave me his resignation letter this morning. He said that he wants to start his own business. He said he would open apany that builds machines.”
“I think he told me about having his own business before. Well, I guess he finally decided to carry out his n.”
“I refused to ept his resignation letter and tried to convince him to stay with us, but he is adamant about quitting his job. He also said that working with people who are older than him but in a lower position than him has not been easy for him. He said that he felt embarrassed when he had to ask them to do things. He also mentioned that he didn’t want to be a burden to you, sir.”
“I think he feels confident working with machines, and he believes that he can handle the machine manufacturing work on his own. That’s why he wants to start his own business feeling he is ready.”
“We really need Director Park in GH Mobile, sir. Our factory will be in trouble without him.”
“He told me before that if he opens his own business, he would find a factory near GH Mobile. Since he would be close to GH Mobile, if GH Mobile needs his help, he woulde and help us. He won’t be with us all the time, but he will be around for sure.”
“Starting his ownpany would cost him a substantial amount of money. I wonder if he is ready financially.”
“Director Park makes a living fine, but he doesn’t have arge amount of money to handle it by himself. He asked me to make an investment in his business, and he said he would call hispany GH Machines.”
“Hmm, if his new business would be connected with GH Mobile in some way, and he would still maintain close contact with us like part of GHpanies, maybe it’s better for us.”
“You think so?”
“Think about it, sir. The chief research officer and I are in our mid-50s, and other directors like the general affairs director, the ounting director, and the new director in the quality production department, they are all in their early 50s. After ten years, these people including myself will reach their retirement age. Once we leave thepany, who’s going to lead GH Mobile on a daily basis?”
“Well, we can find a new person, can’t we?”
“Sure. We can find someone from outside through a headhunter or something, but even in that case, we need someone who knows ourpany inside and out thoroughly. If Director Park stays with GH Mobile in his current position for the next ten years, he will only know well about the production field. It’s hard to grasp a whole picture of the business at his current position. On the other hand, if he runs his own business even though it’s a smallpany in size, he will definitely learn to be a good CEO.”
“But, once he quits ourpany, there is no guarantee that he woulde back.”
“Well, if he calls hispany GH Machines, we can make hispany as part of us. Moreover, you said you would invest your funds into his business, right? Your funds will be in hispany, and hispany’s name contains the word—GH—then we can make it work.”
“How?”
“We canter merge twopanies—GH Mobile and GH Machines. Once we merge the twopanies, we can ce him in a senior director or vice president position, and eventually, give him the CEO position to run the entirepany. Of course, you will have to recognize him then as someone who could sessfully run GH Mobile, sir.”
“Hmm, merging the twopanies...”
“Once he starts running his ownpany, he will desperately learn all sorts of business activities that are going on in every single business such as finance, general affairs, production quality control, sales, etc. He is currently taking night sses at a university after work. He has the will to learn and improve himself. He is rough sometimes, but I know that he is a decent person. He is simple and loyal. I’m sure he will be loyal to you. He is not someone who would betray youter. He will be an excellent right-hand man of GH Mobile.”
“Hmm, I see. Well, please ept his resignation for now.”
“Okay, sir.”
After getting off the phone with President Song, Gun-Ho thought about it.
‘That’s right. I can merge the twopaniester. I can always make hime back to GH Mobile by merging.’
Gun-Ho opened the inte.
Minister Jin-Woo Lee’s uing by-election was still in y. The voting gap between him and his opponent was fluctuating. Minister Jin-Woo Lee was leading right now, but it could change at any time.
Gun-Ho thought, ‘Minister Jin-Woo Lee must feel very anxious right now. He probably wants to call me, but since I already told him that the second attack will take ce in the middle of this month, he wouldn’t call me until then. He should have done a better job for the constituents in his election district by participating in volunteer work or something like that. He had been actually ignorant about themunity. He could have done better than this.’
The media already talked about Minister Jin-Woo Lee’s future path that he could take once he was elected in the uing by-election. They said that he would take the leadership of his political party—Gonmyeong Party—leading the party.
It was the day of the IPO presentation.
The internal auditor left for the presentation venue in Youido Ind earlier than the scheduled time, taking Ms. ounting Manager Myeong-Sook Jo and Mr. Assistant Manager Il-Gi Seong with him, who drafted the presentation materials. He wanted to check the ce of the presentation in advance before the public investors arrived. The agency which had been and also would be helping Dyeon Korea through the process until it sessfully would go public—the stock brokeragepany—was supposed to make all the arrangements for the presentation, but the internal auditor wanted to verify everything on his own to be sure. Gun-Ho also arrived at the ce earlier, and he tested the microphone and the PowerPoint presentation materials as well. Mr. Vice President Adam Castler was seen there as well. He maintained his smiling face while sitting on a chair.
