Chapter 245: GH Building in Gangnam (2) – PART 2
Gun-Ho received a phone call from President Jeong-Sook Shin of GH Media.
“President Goo, I have a favor to ask of you.”
“A favor?”
“I understand that you are moving your GH Mobile’s office to the building in Sinsa Town. We have enjoyed the company of GH Mobile that was our next-door neighbor, and we received a lot of help from them.”
“Oh, would you like to move your office to the building in Sinsa Town with us? I will have to check if there is any vacant office though.”
“The rent in that building is too high for our business. So I was thinking of moving our publishing office somewhere else.”
“Where do you want to move to?”
“The publishing complex in Paju City would be a great choice to move our office. It has a very clean and neat environment, and the rent is pretty reasonable; however, it’s too far from our current location and our workers are reluctant to move there. So, I am thinking of moving to Hapjeong Town or Mangwon Town in Mapo District.”
“Hmm, Mangwon Town...”
“We can get an office there with twice bigger size than the current one with the same amount of rent.”
“I will let you decide on that.”
“Okay, sir. I will move our office to that location then, assuming you approved our moving.”
Gun-Ho made a phone call to Manager Kang of GH Mobile.
“Please place our current office-tel of GH Mobile on the market for sale.”
“Our office-tel, sir?”
“Yes, I purchased that office-tel with my name, not with the company’s name. So once the office-tel is sold, please put the sales proceeds to my personal bank account.”
“Yes, sir. And... umm...”
“Do you have something you want to tell me?”
“I’ve already placed all of our four OneRoomTels on the market for sale. They will sell easily. However...”
“What is it?”
“The chief editor of GH Media is living in one of our OneRoomTels. What should I do about it?”
“Oh, you mean Jae-Sik Moon?”
“Yes, sir.”
“Well, we will have to tell him to vacate his room. I will talk to him.”
“Yes, sir.”
Gun-Ho called Jae-Sik Moon.
“Jae-Sik?”
“Hey, President Goo.”
“How is your work?”
“It’s fun. I like here a lot. President Shin appreciates my work too.”
“That’s nice. I am calling you to tell you that I will have to sell the OneRoomTels. As you know, I am buying a large building in Sinsa Town, and I need money. You’ll be on your own in finding your place to stay from now on.”
“Oh, that? Don’t worry about it. Once our GH Media moves to Mapo Town, I will find a room there. I used to live in Mangwon Town which is very close to Mapo Town when I worked for another publishing company. I love the area. Many people in the publishing field are living there.”
“Really?”
“Don’t worry about my rent. I am making a lot of money now, and I can handle my rent.”
“Are you sure?”
“Yeah. The translated book of ‘the person who wakes up in the morning’ is selling very well. It is the best-selling book that I’ve ever done editing work on.”
“Did President Shin find an office there already?”
“We have looked at two offices in Hapjeong Town. They are so spacious, and they are asking the same rent that we are paying right now. Oh, I was going to ask you about this. Can you make a president’s office in our new office? I think President Shin should have her own office. She often meets with clients, and it would be nice if she has her own office.”
“What about the chief editor’s office?”
“Oh, my own office? Haha. A chief editor doesn’t usually get his own office. It’s not necessary. Usually, we get a cubicle office.”
Gun-Ho received a call from Manager Jong-Suk Park who was currently working out at the building in Sinsa Town.
“Bro? There is nothing here for me to work on anymore. I want to go back to Jiksan Town.”
“Have you met with the security guards and boiler technicians? They are all good workers, right?”
“Yeah, I’ve already made a good connection with everyone here in the field. They are not very skillful though, so I fixed everything for them like the boiler, automatic parking system, and even the toilet. They were very satisfied, and they asked me to stay there with them. But I really have to go back to Jiksan. I need to know if things are going well there.”
“MacGyver Park is always popular wherever he goes.”
“I think we need to have a team leader here. The person who is in charge of the automatic parking system has an electrician license and building management license. He is very good too. I think he is a good candidate for the team leader position. What do you think? He seemed to be not happy to receive the same treatment as other workers.”
“Really? Why don’t you talk to Manager Kang of GH Mobile?”
“Well, Manager Kang is good at administrative work, but he doesn’t know much about the work in the worksite.”
“Did they already start the interior work?”
“It’s almost done. They are building a large president’s office too. It’s located on the 19th floor, and it has a very nice view. You would be able to see the entire Sinsa Town in Gangnam District. You are going to stay in that office from time to time, right?”
“How old is the man who is in charge of the automatic parking system?”
“He is about 50. He is physically strong. He completed his military service at the airborne forces. Well, I won over him in the arm wrestling though.”
“Who would be able to beat you at arm wrestling?”
“There is one person who I really want to fight at an arm wrestling match.”
“Who?”
“The weightlifter—Mi-Ran Jang.”
“You crazy. Okay, come back to Jiksan Town. Make sure you tell Director Yoon and Manager Kang before you head to Jiksan, okay?”
GH Media’s president—Ms. Jeong-Sook Shin—gave a report to Gun-Ho on the phone about their office moving.
“We made a lease contract with an office in Hangjeong Town. It’s 40 pyung. The rent is the same as the rent of our office in Gangnam. But they asked a bit higher security deposit, so we spent an additional 20 million won for it.”
“Why don’t you do some interior work and make your office there too?”
“A president’s office...?”
“Yes. Clients are often coming over to the office to meet with you, so I guess it’s better that you have your own office even though it’s not big.”
“Thank you.”
“The new office is close to your home, right?”
“Yes. I can take the Subway Line 2 from my house—Mullae Town—then I can get to the new office in no time. Our chief editor found his room in Mangwon Town.”
“Really? That’s nice.”
“We will be working harder. I’ve already chosen a fourth book that we will publish. I will send you the book title.”
“You don’t have to do that, President Shin. I don’t have time to read a book now. Why don’t you just make a report to me about the loss and profit?”
“Yes, sir. I will do that.”
