Gun-Ho made a call to GH Mobile's accounting director—Ms. Min-Hwa Kim.
"Ms. Director? It's me."
"Yes, sir."
"I want you to send 1 million won to an organization called People's Alliance for Progressive Movement. I will send you my bank account number and that organization's contact number."
"Okay, sir."
"Ask them to get us a receipt. The organization is designated by the government as a qualified organization to receive donations. I believe we can get tax benefits for the donation amount."
"Understood, sir."
Gun-Ho didn't want to send too much but just an appropriate amount for donation because he didn't want them to set their expectations too high.
Gun-Ho received a call in the afternoon from Min-Ho Kang.
"President Goo? It's me, Min-Ho. We've received your 1 million won. Thank you so much."
"Oh, you did? I'm sorry that I couldn't send more."
"No, don't say that. This is a windfall for us. We didn't expect to receive a donation. It will help our organization a lot. Our organization publishes a monthly newsletter, and I will send it to you every month."
"You don't have to. I'm not involved in any civic movement, so you don't have to send it to me."
"It's okay. I will send it to you, maybe to your company. What's the address?"
"No, no. It's okay, really. Well, I gotta go. There is a call waiting for me. I will talk to you later."
There was certainly a feeling of pleasure in giving to others. The act of giving gave great pleasure to the people who received it as well. Gun-Ho always felt good when he heard 'thank you' from the person who he offered kindness to.
When Gun-Ho went home after work during weekdays, he was alone even though he was a married man. He could see his wife only during weekends. Staying home by himself always gave him a feeling of loneliness.
That evening, Gun-Ho fell asleep while watching TV by himself, and he had a dream.
In his dream, he was walking in Koen Dori, Shibuya, Tokyo. There was a woman with disheveled hair. She was walking toward Gun-Ho, and she was wearing no shoes. It was creepy.
"Huh? Mori Aikko!"
The woman with unkempt hair was Mori Aikko. She was crying.
"You said you would protect me for the rest of your life."
Mori Aikko quickly turned her back on Gun-Ho after saying that. Gun-Ho followed her.
"Mori Aikko, you misunderstood the situation!"
"Misunderstood what situation?"
Mori Aikko turned around. She had no eyes, no nose, and no lips. Her face was empty.
Gun-Ho screamed. He then jumped out of his bed.
"Whew. It was just a dream."
Gun-Ho had a cold sweat.
"Am I having this weird dream because I married another woman and forgot about Mori Aikko lately? But I was just a sponsor for her, not her husband."
While Gun-Ho was thinking about Mori Aikko, he realized that he missed her.
"I guess I need to go to Japan next week. Let me see. Byeong-Chul Hwang's wedding is next week. I will leave for Japan after attending his wedding."
Gun-Ho tried to go back to sleep again.
Gun-Ho didn't spend a significant amount of money in establishing GH Parts Company in China, which Min-Hyeok Kim was running and President Shin's GH Media. Therefore, when he received his dividend of 950 million won from each company, he actually collected what he had previously invested in these two companies.
Gun-Ho, of course, supported these companies in any way he could. He had GH Mobile provide GH Parts Company with necessary technologies and experts. For GH Media, he financially supported it, so President Shin could expand the business aggressively. That was how GH Gallery generated good revenue. However, Min-Hyeok Kim and President Jeong-Sook Kim were the people who were actually making money for Gun-Ho.
Master Park in Goesan Town once told Gun-Ho that his time to make money himself was gone, and he would welcome the days where other people would make money for him. He was right.
