Episode 95
〈Boriji Co., Ltd.
Representative Wang Kang-shin〉
Kang Jin said, looking at the company name written on the business card.
“Is it because of the influence of barley?”
Wang Kang-shin smiled at Kang-jin’s words.
He nodded his head.
“It is named after the Bodhi tree under which Buddha attained enlightenment. I named it with the hope that people in the real estate I deal with will be happy and live well.”
“okay.”
Wang Kang-shin, who was watching Kang-jin, got up.
“Then you ate well. See you again.”
“Go ahead.”
“I want to get some rest.”
Kang Jin followed Wang Kang Shin’s words and got up. And when he was seeing him off, Yun Su Hong approached him quietly and said.
“Thank you for today.”
Then, when Yoon Su-hong handed over the envelope, Kang Jin gratefully accepted it.
“And… …I packed a little more.”
Although it was set at around 20,000 won per person, the menus that came out today
These were expensive foods on the market.
Of all the things I ate today, the braised short ribs alone would easily cost a hundred thousand won somewhere else, and they were delicious.
Since we also ate other food there, the cost alone would have been at least a hundred thousand won.
That’s why Yoon Soo-hong put in more money. The calculations have to be thorough so that the next time you come, you can come lightly.
“thank you.”
“Then eat well and go.”
Kang Jin asked Yoon Soo Hong’s words.
“But… … What are you going to do about the car? Should I call a taxi for you?”
Yoon Soo-hong laughed at Kang-jin’s question, wondering if he might drive drunk.
“In this day and age, why would anyone drink and drive? You should call a designated driver.”
Kang Jin nodded his head as he watched Yoon Soo Hong smiling and shaking his cell phone.
“Then, take care on your way.”
“Thank you for your hard work today.”
Kang Jin, who had been watching Yoon Su-hong turn around and take the Chinese people away, sat down.
“Ugh!”
Only after the people left did Kang Jin’s eyes open as he let out a small groan.
After drinking a glass of soju and a few glasses of hard liquor, I felt like my insides were burning.
But I held on with mental strength because I had guests, but after they left, I started getting drunk.
Kang Jin frowned for a moment and then drank a glass of cold water.
” are you okay?”
Kang Jin nodded at Bae Yong Soo’s worried words.
“It’s not enough to kill you.”
Kang Jin, who had given a small answer, opened the envelope that Yoon Su Hong had given her. Inside the envelope was two hundred thousand won.
“Twenty… … if you include the tip, it’s forty-two.”
Kang Jin, who smiled happily, twisted his neck.
Boom! Boom!
As I twisted my neck, the alcohol seemed to have rushed to my neck muscles, and I could hear the bones breaking.
And that sound is so refreshing
Kang-jin, who felt the sunset, started to clear the table.
“I need to clean up quickly and get some sleep.”
Muttering softly, Kang Jin began to hurriedly move the dishes into the kitchen.
The next morning, Kang Jin went to work and was reviewing the documents. These days
Most of Kang Jin’s work involved checking the business plans his team members created for typos and figures.
While Kang Jin was checking for typos while looking at the documents, Im Ho Jin arrived.
“Mr. Kang Jin!”
Kang Jin saw Im Ho Jin at his call.
“yes.”
“I heard that Senior Yoon brought a guest with him yesterday?”
“yes.”
At Kang Jin’s words, Im Ho Jin quietly brought a chair and sat down next to him.
“I heard that Mr. Wang liked it?”
“Do you know Mr. Wang?”
“I haven’t seen it, but I’ve only heard about it a few times.”
Lim Ho-jin spoke with a smile.
It was.
“Anyway, it seems that Mr. Wang really likes Mr. Kang Jin.”
“He was a good person.”
At Kang Jin’s words, Im Ho Jin looked at him and then at Choi Dong Hae.
“Mr. Donghae.”
Choi Dong-hae saw Im Ho-jin at his call.

“What is the most important thing when doing business with China?”
Choi Dong-hae answered Lim Ho-jin’s question immediately as if he didn’t even have to think about it.
“This is Quanxi.”
Lim Ho-jin nodded at Choi Dong-hae’s answer.
“Mr. Kang Jin, do you know what Kwan Si is?”
“I think it means relationship?”
If you read the Chinese characters literally, it means relationship.
“That’s right. Quanxi is literally
It speaks of relations. And Chinese trade is often called Guanxi trade.”
“Relationship trade?”
Im Ho-jin nodded at Kang Jin’s words.
“When Chinese people do business, they don’t do business with anyone they know or anyone they are introduced to by someone they know. No matter how good the item is or how good the business proposal is… … if there is no quan shi, they won’t do business.
all.”
“okay.”
“That’s why it’s commonly called the gwansi trade or the hospitality trade.”
“So, you have to be good at hospitality to build good relationships.”
Im Ho-jin nodded at Kang Jin’s words.
“It is more effective to have a pleasant entertainment at a drinking party for one day than to talk in the office for ten days.”
“okay.”
Kang Jin nodded and looked at Im Ho Jin.
“But is there a reason you’re telling that story?”
“I wanted to tell you that we had a good relationship.”
“I guess Mr. Wang is a great person?”
Im Ho-jin nodded at Kang Jin’s words.
“In Korea, they say that if you cross one bridge with someone, you know most people, right?”
“yes.”
“In Mr. Wang’s case, he is a person who can meet the Chinese president just by crossing two bridges.”
“That’s amazing.”
“He is a great person.”
Lim Ho-jin spoke quietly while speaking.
“Didn’t you say you were coming to the store again?”
“why?”
“If Mr. Wang comes to the store, could you please give me a call?”
“A phone call?”
“I don’t have a relationship with Mr. Wang yet. I heard that he came to Korea, so I hope to make a relationship with him this time.”
Kang Jin is puzzled by Im Ho Jin’s words
He said as if he was saying something.
“Can’t I get an introduction from Mr. Yoon Soo-hong?”
“Senior Yoon is close to me, but he doesn’t give me his job.”
“ah……
Kang Jin understood what Im Ho Jin said.
For Yoon Soo-hong, Wang Kang-sin was the foundation of the Chinese Guanxi. So he introduced him to his close friend, Lim Ho-jin.
It is not.
Kang Jin, who had been looking at Im Ho Jin for a moment, said:
“I’ll call you, but please don’t greet me inside the store.”
“yes?”
Then, looking at Lim Ho-jin, who was wondering where he should greet people, Kang Jin said.
“I think a restaurant is a place where you can come and have a comfortable meal. Wang Seon
There is no guarantee that he will come again, but if he does, it will probably be for a leisurely meal… …
Even without saying anything, Im Ho-jin knew what Kang Jin was trying to say.
“I’m worried that I might make you uncomfortable.”
“At work, I’m an intern, but after work, I’m the owner of a restaurant.”
At work, he is Im Ho-jin’s subordinate, but outside, he is the owner of a restaurant.
It meant that I wanted to ask for your understanding.
Im Ho-jin thought about Kang Jin’s words for a moment and then said.
“Then, after you finish eating, would you mind letting me say hello on my way out?”
“I’ll ask you after you finish eating and if you give me permission, I’ll do it.”
“Okay. Then just give me a call. I won’t just go into the store.”
“All right.”
Im Ho-jin looked at Kang Jin’s answer and smiled.
“Mr. Kang Jin is a good restaurant owner.”
“Not so good as a subordinate.”
Im Ho-jin smiled and shook his head at Kang Jin’s words.
“Whew! It’s okay. You’re not going to be under me forever… … In two months, you’ll be the owner of my regular restaurant.”
As Im Ho-jin returned to his seat with a smile, Choi Dong-hae asked quietly.
“I guess Mr. Wang is truly an amazing person.”
“It’s not that it’s great, but it’s probably because it has Chinese characteristics.”
The culture called Guanxi was a unique Chinese characteristic that did not exist in other countries. That is why Wang Jiangxin, who had a wide network of connections, became even more powerful.
Then Kang Jin saw Choi Dong Hae.
“Do you speak Chinese?”
I heard Choi Dong-hae talking to a Chinese company before.
“A little.”
Kang Jin spoke to Choi Dong Hae in Chinese.
“How is my pronunciation?”
Choi Dong-hae laughed at Kang Jin’s words.
“Do you speak Chinese?”
“I learned a little from Chinese workers when I was working part-time at the site. So
“How is my pronunciation?”
When Kang Jin spoke in Chinese again, Choi Dong Hae also spoke in Chinese.
“If Koreans speak Chinese to each other, most people will understand.”
“okay?”
“If you think about it in English, Koreans will understand that “milk” means “milk.” However, English speakers won’t understand if you say “milk.” This is because of the difference in pronunciation.”
If Koreans who use Konglish speak English to each other, they can more or less understand each other.
But if you speak Konglish to an American, he or she will wonder what you are talking about.
“How good is your Chinese?”
“I can communicate simply.”
Kang Jin looked at Choi Dong Hae as if he was amazed by what he said.
“You speak English like a local person.
ji?”
“yes.”
“Then you speak both English and Chinese well.”
“If you want to do business, you need to know at least two foreign languages. And my brother speaks English and Chinese, too.”
“That’s street.”
When Kang Jin said the word, meaning a foreign language on the street, Choi Dong Hae said,
“The important thing is that you know how to do it anyway.
“Yes, that’s right.”
Kang Jin nodded at Choi Dong Hae’s words and spoke in Korean.
“Do you have any books to study Chinese?”
“I have some when I get home. Can you bring it to me?”
“Please do me a favor.”
“Then… …Can I ask you a favor too?”
” what?”
“After the internship ends… … contact me
“Can I do that?”
Kang Jin, who was looking at Choi Dong Hae’s words, snickered.
“Then you weren’t going to do it?”
Choi Dong-hae smiled brightly at Kang Jin’s words.
“Thank you.”
“Let’s get to work.”
Choi Dong-hae nodded at Kang Jin’s words and began to look at the documents.
Kang Jin, who had just finished work, was walking to the store. While walking to the store, Kang Jin called Shin Su Ho.
[hello.]
“This is Lee Kang-jin.”
[What’s going on?]
“Do you know… that I helped someone ascend yesterday?”
Chae Young-ho needed a lawyer before
When I said that, Shin Soo-ho appeared as if he knew it was a ghost.
So, even if you don’t say anything, I’m asking if you know what happened yesterday.
[I know.]
“Um… … Is there anything like CCTV installed?”
[no.]
“But you know too much?”
[This is the house I lived in.]
That explains it all
As if that was the case, Kang Jin sighed and said as Shin Soo Ho did not say anything more.
“I’m calling you to tell you something else. Do I have to hide the fact that I can talk to ghosts from people?”
[Do you want to say something?]
“I don’t think there’s any reason to hide it. Some people believe that shamans talk to ghosts, and there are also stories about people seeing ghosts in dramas and movies.
“Oh, yeah.”
As Kang Jin continued to explain in an excuse-like tone, Shin Su Ho, who was listening to him, said:
[Since you’re talking about movies, I’ll use a movie analogy. Do you know why heroes in movies hide their identities?]
“Are you trying to avoid the world’s attention?”
［That’s right. Superman hides his identity because he’s afraid of guns and swords.
No. Because it’s annoying when the world’s attention is on me.]
“Are you saying I’ll be a bother?”
[There is someone who listens to their story and repays their debt. Isn’t that a story that ghosts would like?]
“Does that mean ghosts will come after me?”
[My brothers lived in that house.]
Kang Jin nodded at Shin Soo Ho’s words.
“I understand what you mean.”
Shin Soo-ho and his brothers lived in this house and dealt with ghosts.
If that’s the case, Kang Jin would have seen more ghosts than he had seen before, and would have heard more pitiful stories.
And among them, there will be a story of their help. In other words, the current situation in Gangjin is also something that Attorney Shin Su-ho is also aware of.
It was something I experienced when I was young.
[Do you need anything else?]
“Can you give me some advice on what to do?
[There is only one answer. Do whatever you want.]
Kang Jin thought for a moment at Shin Soo Ho’s answer and then nodded.
“Thank you for the advice.”
[Do you need anything else?]
Kang Jin smiled and shook his head at Shin Soo Ho’s question, who asked the same question.
“doesn’t exist.”
Kang Jin ended the call with that and nodded while looking at his phone.
“Okay, let’s do whatever we want.”
