Chapter 261: Lynch (4) – PART 2
Gun-Ho then asked for Director Yoon.
“Let’s get the infrastructure construction work started.”
“Yes, sir. We will build a splendid factory, and you will be pleased, sir.”
While Gun-Ho was talking with Director Yoon, the accounting manager entered the office.
“Sir, we have just received the initial operating fund of 50,000 dollars from Lymondell Dyeon.”
“Really? The assistant manager of the general affairs department is currently working on the registration of the joint venture so give him the receipt slip of that fund.”
“Yes, sir.”
Gun-Ho then called for the general affairs assistant manager.
“Did you bring the form to report the foreign investment from a bank?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Did you receive the translated version of the Lymondell Dyeon’s power of attorney and board of director’s resolution from GH Development’s secretary?”
“Yes, sir. I just received them.”
“Then go see an attorney and take those documents with you. They will help you register foreign-invested company. If they ask you to bring the company’s certificate of a registered seal or my personal certificate of a registered seal, just let me know.”
“Yes, sir.”
The preparation to start a joint venture was going well.
Jong-Suk Park came into Gun-Ho’s office.
“Don’t you think we should have beaten Dong-Hwan Kim up the other day?”
“That was enough. We don’t use violence.”
“We should show them why they shouldn’t have attacked us in the first place and show them what would happen if they try it again.”
“We don’t have to. You will see. Egnopak’s president will come to see me soon.”
“Do you really think so?”
“Of course. I am 100% certain. He has always settled any problem with money so far, but he knows that won’t work with me. So he will come to see me.”
“What are you going to do if he comes?”
“I will elicit practical benefits from him. That’s the path I chose as a businessman.”
“Well, I don’t know what you are talking about. You do what you have to do, bro.”
Gun-Ho went to Asan City to visit the construction site, where infrastructure construction work was being conducted for his new factory for the joint venture.
Director Yoon walked out of a container office and ran toward Gun-Ho when he saw Gun-Ho. He was wearing a safety helmet.
“I see the soil excavation is in progress. They have done a lot of work already.”
“They are driving piles into the ground right now. The soil is softer than the one in Jiksan Town, so they need to drive the piles deeper.”
“Really? This still cannot be compared to the ones in China. When the Jinxi Industrial Park was constructed in China, the piles were driven really deep into the ground.”
“Haha. Of course. The elevation of the east coast side of China is below 5 meters.”
“Once the infrastructure construction work is completed, constructing a building on the flat land shouldn’t take long, right?”
“That’s right. It will take about the same time as the time taken for the factory in Jiksan Town.”
“We are constructing the factory according to the design drawing made in the U.S. Will it make building a factory more difficult?”
“It could, but I don’t see much of a difference.”
“Well, I hope everything goes well.”
Two dandy men in a business suit came to see Gun-Ho. The secretary—Ms. Hee-Jeong Park—entered Gun-Ho’s office to let him know.
“Sir, there are two men who want to see you.”
“Who are they?”
“They said they are from Egnopak’s legal department.”
Gun-Ho smiled and said,
“Tell them that I won’t see them and ask them to leave.”
Ms. Hee-Jeong Park conveyed what Gun-Ho just said to them. The two men from Egnopak’s legal department waited for Gun-Ho outside his office for a while before they eventually left.
Gun-Ho then received a call from the detective.
“We are done with our investigation. We will send the offenders to the prosecutor’s office tomorrow. You haven’t made any settlement with the assailants yet, have you?”
“I don’t intend to make any settlement with them. The Dong-Hwan Kim person must pay for what he did.”
“Dong-Hwan Kim is on probation right now. Once he is sent to the prosecutor’s office, he won’t be able to avoid prison time.”
“He should have been more careful if he was on probation.”
“Right. Haha. Well, we will just handle the case as the law dictates.”
Gun-Ho called for Jong-Suk Park.
“People from the Egnopak’s legal department just came to see me because of Dong-Hwan Kim.”
“Bro, are you going to settle? You should not!”
“I won’t, but I think you should settle with them though.”
“I don’t want to.”
“If they offer good settlement money, you should take it.”
“No, I won’t. My injury certificate indicates that my injury requires only three weeks for recovery. I don’t think I can get a lot of money for it.”
“Just take it. And then, you will have to leave for the U.S. soon.”
“To the U.S.?”
“According to the joint venture contract, we will have to send three engineers to Dyeon for a month. They will train them. I am thinking of selecting two people from the research center, and I want you to join them.”
“I can’t even speak English.”
“It’s okay. If you need to communicate in English, you can hire someone who can, in Seattle.”
“I don’t know, bro. I’ve never been to the U.S., and I’ve been wanting to visit there someday actually…”
“That’s good. Go with them to the U.S. and get trained. You do that after you accept their settlement offer.”
“You do whatever that looks suitable for me and for us. I don’t know what you are planning with the incident, and you are always two or three steps ahead of any of us.”
The secretary, Hee-Jeong Park, entered Gun-Ho’s office.
“Sir, umm… Someone from Egnopak’s legal department is here to see you again.”
“Did they send the same men who came here before?”
“No. The man who is waiting for you now is not the same man who came before. He really wanted to see you, and he gave his business card.”
Gun-Ho looked at the business card that Ms. Hee-Jeong Park handed to him.
“Attorney? This is the attorney who is leading the Egnopak’s legal department. Should I ask him to leave? Or maybe I should hear what he would say?”
While Gun-Ho was thinking, he asked Ms. Hee-Jeong Park to let him in.
A man who was wearing glasses came into Gun-Ho’s office. He looked two or three years older than Gun-Ho.
“I am the team leader of Egnopak’s legal department.”
“What brought you here to see me? Why don’t you have a seat first?”
The legal team’s leader said while sitting on a chair,
“I came here to talk about Mr. Dong-Hwan Kim’s case. I hope you could just let it go.”
“That Dong-Hwan Kim guy should pay for what he did.”
“He has been through a lot by now. I am hoping you could just forgive him.”
“I can’t do that. Please leave.”
“Mr. Dong-Hwan Kim is on probation. If he can’t settle this, he will be arrested. Please show him mercy. He must know by now what he did was wrong.”
“He should have been more cautious given his situation. Well, I can’t just let it go.”
“Our president sent you a settlement offer. This is not a huge amount of money, but please accept it and sign the settlement agreement.”
“Are you kidding me? I don’t need money.”
“I know. As a matter of fact, I told our president that offering money wouldn’t be a good idea, but our president wanted to show you his effort to make this work.”
“Why money? It would make more sense if he came here with a baseball bat instead. I read in a newspaper that he once did that when Dong-Hwan Kim was involved in an assault at a bar. They are so immature.”
Gun-Ho clicked his tongue, and the attorney scratched his head. He must have felt embarrassed.
Gun-Ho then asked the attorney.
“So how much did your great president send me as a settlement offer?”
“It’s 10 million won.”
“Well, since I am rich already and I don’t need any more money, you can give it to another victim, Jong-Suk Park. I can ask him to come here to accept that settlement offer.”
“No, umm… This settlement offer was intended for you, President Goo…”
“I don’t have time to hear any more BS. Just leave my office! I will call security if you don’t leave now.”
“Sir, putting him behind bars is not the best solution. He is probably regretting what he had done by now.”
“You go tell your Egnopak president. I won’t accept anything until he comes to me and beg for mercy. And you should leave now.”
Egnopak’s attorney was blushing while he was sitting in the office.
“You should leave!”
Gun-Ho yelled at him.
The attorney had no other choice but to leave Gun-Ho’s office.
