Chapter 841: Acquisition of Miura Machines (4) – Part 2
Jong-Suk said, “I was going to post a job opening for the position that would handle trading work here in GH Machines, but Assistant Manager Seo has someone who he wants to recommend to us— his little brother.”
“His brother? Does he speak English?”
“I believe so. His brother studied in the U.S. He also had done some business with companies in Japan before, so he can also speak Japanese as well.”
“Is that right? Well, I think you should interview him for the job.”
Jong-Suk Park continued, “Bro, I’m going on a trip to India and China next week.”
“Is that about installing machines there for Dyeon Korea?”
“I’m going to stay in the new factory in Noida, India for three days. Director Kim told me that they were having a hard time finding an engineer in the local job market, so he was asking if I can find someone from my workers here.”
“Hmm, really? Do you have such a person in GH Machines?”
“When I told my workers that the pay would be higher about 1.5 times, two of my employees volunteered for the job.”
“Really?”
“One of them served as a non-commissioned officer in the military before. He is a certified auto mechanic, and he also has a certificate for welding work. He is good with electric work as well. He has been in the field for about ten years now. He volunteered for the job because he needs money for his kids’ education.”
“Hmm, I see. Well, it’s your call. You should decide who would be the adequate engineer to work in our factory in India.”
“I know. I decided to take him with me on my next trip to India. While I am away from GH Machines, the plant manager will take care of business here.”
“You have a plant manager?”
“Haha. I know that there are only 12 workers in GH Machines, but we still need to give each of them their proper job titles, don’t we? Each person’s work experience was a major factor in giving them an adequate job position. We have a plant manager, a senior manager, a manager, and a teal lead, etc. Do you remember the old guy who was carving a piece of metal? He is our new plant manager. He has been in the field for more than 20 years.”
“I see.”
“He actually worked as a plant manager in his previous employment. He is good.”
“That’s nice.”
“So, I’m planning to send him to Dyeon China in Tianjin City to work there for a while. He has been building 8 machines for Dyeon Korea so far, so he knows very well about the machines.”
“Is that right?”
“I might not be able to make a trip to China though. Once I come back from the trip to India, Miura Machines’ machines will arrive here already. I will be extremely busy then.”
“Hmm, that’s true.”
“Once we receive the machines from Miura Machines, Director Kim said that he would introduce a few factories that he knows for valves and bearings.”
“Really?”
“GH Machines will grow a lot as we start providing the machine parts to Isehara Machines in Japan as many as Miura Machines have been providing with, and also we will expand our clients in Korea market as well.”
“Sure. Keep up the good work. I feel so happy to see you working hard with passion.”
After getting off the phone with GH Machines’ President Jong-Suk Park, Gun-Ho took some time relaxing on the sofa. At that moment, Director Woon-Hak Sim came in.
“I’ve completed the business that I came for in Korea, sir. I am ready to leave for China now.”
“Once they start playing the movie— Menghuan Yinghua— in China, I will probably go and watch it.”
“I have a good feeling about the movie, sir. My expectation for the movie is high. I greatly hope that the movie is successful because I can then proudly make a proposition for you, sir, about the new movie production that I’m planning.”
“Haha, you are saying that again to the person who is not so interested in making another investment in the movie production.”
“I understand that you are busy enough with your business and also with the company that was recently registered with KOSDAQ, so you are not very interested in the movie production business. However, I can tell you for sure that the second movie will become a box office hit. Whether you make money in the movie business or in the manufacturing business or whatever, if you can earn foreign currency, that’s good for our country too, isn’t it?”
“I don’t know.”
“I’ve already made a request to the famous screenwriter— Ms. Ailing Feng— for the movie scenario for the second movie. Ms. Ailing Feng gladly accepted my offer. I believe she already started writing for the movie by now.”
“But I didn’t even decide whether I would make an investment in it or not. You could just end up paying for the movie scenario without actually being able to produce a movie with it. Why are you so obsessed with producing that movie?”
“The movie is about the Battle of Noryang.”
“Battle of Noryang? You mean the Battle of Noryang where Korean Admiral Sun-Shin Yi played a critical role? Why do you produce that movie in China? Aren’t you supposed to do it in Korea?”
“Chinese admirals participated in that warfare as well. Admiral Chen Lin and Deng Zilong were there, and Admiral Deng Zilong died during the battle.”
“Is that so?”
“The hero of the Battle of Noryang is, of course, Admiral Sun-Shin Yi. It is true that the admirals of the Ming Dynasty were passive at the war. However, Admiral Chen Lin and Deng Zilong are currently being worshipped by Chinese people for their anti-Japanese acts. Their statutes are built in their hometowns.”
“Hmm, is that right?”
“It’s an effort of Chinese people trying to feel proud of themselves again about their defeat during the Second Sino-Japanese War. My movie will highlight it.”
“Did they really build a statute for them?”
“A large statue was built in Admiral Chen Lin’s hometown— Guangdong Province—
for him, and Admiral Deng Zilong’s statue was also built in his hometown— Fengcheng City, Jiangxi Province. It’s huge.”
“Hmm.”
“Since it’s going to be a Chinese movie, we will exaggerate a bit about their participation in the battle. Luckily, there is a good film park in Wuxi City close to Shanghai City, which we can use for shooting the movie.”
“That’s true.”
“The film park in Wuxi City was built by the Chinese national broadcasting station— CCTV. They elaborated on building it. It’s called Wuxi Yingshi Cheng.”
“I’ve been there too.”
“The famous movies— the Smiling, Proud wanderer, and The Legend of the Condor Heroes— were also shot at this place as well. The place is close to the huge lake— Lake Taihu, so it’s a very suitable place to shoot naval battle scenes. We will have a lot of scenes like that since the movie is about the Battle of Noryang.”
“What role would Mori Aikko play in that movie then?”
“She will play a concubine of a Japanese admiral. The concubine will also fight at the battlefield for her lover who would be shot by an arrow, even though she is a physically feeble girl. She would eventually get killed heroically at the battle. She will play a Japanese girl who would die for her country— Japan— in this movie.”
“Well, the idea of the movie seems to be not bad at all, but I wonder if it would succeed though.”
“I’m pretty sure that it will succeed, sir.”
“Also, I’m not very comfortable about our Admiral Sun-Shin Yi being treated as a minor participant in the battle. He was actually the true hero of the Battle of Noryang.”
“Admiral Sun-Shin Yi will still show in the movie. He will be depicted as the hero of the Joseon Dynasty.”
“Well, let’s talk about it further later. For now, let’s focus on making our current movie— Menghuan Yinghua— successful.”
“Yes, sir. Well, if you don’t have anything else, sir, I’d better head to the airport now.”
