A total of five people came to Ansan to meet Hyunwoo.

Hearing their explanation, Hyunwoo learned that they were laid off from their workplaces related to plastic. They came to get acquainted with each other through the internet cafe, exchanged their ideas on entering the Vietnamese market and finally gathered to meet Hyunwoo.

In other words, they were doing plastic-related club activities and formed a dream team of their own.

Hyunwoo welcomed them with open hands, “Of course, I can help you. Come on in.”

Hyunwoo got their contact information, resumes and other documents and then faxed them to the KOVE DREAM team.

Actually, the plastic dream team was in great demand in Vietnam. As soon as their resumes were distributed to the relevant companies, they expressed strong interest in hiring them.

It looked as if their successful resettlement in Vietnam was guaranteed.

At that moment Hyunwoo thought, Yea, this is a golden chance. Let me show the skilled workers across the country who were laid off and sitting idle. They will gain courage.

He quickly called Jaeyol Song with Korea Broadcasting, “I think I can see you after 3 pm today.”

“See you then.”

Hyunwoo headed directly to Seoul and met him.

“Thanks so much for your help with the production of KOVE DREAM program.”

“You’re welcome. I have to thank you, man. That program really paid off! If you have a good program idea, let me know,” said Jaeyol.

Hyunwoo was going to tip him off on a program idea one of these days.

“Why don’t you make the Part three of KOVE DREAM?”

Jaeyol’s eyes opened wide with expectation.

In fact, Korea Broadcasting aired a couple of KOVE programs. Part one was a video produced by Real Film alone, and Part two was the co-work with the current affairs department of Korea Broadcasting. Korea Broadcasting’s KOVE programs enjoyed great success with very good viewers’ reception.

Now, Hyunwoo mentioned Part three. If this one proved as successful as the previous two, Jaeyol’s career would be on track to the top.

“How?” asked Jaeyol.

“As you know, the highlight of KOVE DREAM was that Korean technicians went to Vietnam to make a technological revolution. So, part three will deal with the process of how they get connected with the local Korean companies there and how they successfully resettle in Vietnam,” said Hyunwoo.

He told Jaeyol that a group of technicians in are of plastics came to meet him yesterday.

“KOVE DREAM will support them financially for their successful resettlement. We’re confident they will create an incredible success story there. Don’t you think Korea Broadcasting can shoot their efforts?”

“Wow, that’s a really nice program idea.”

“Hahaha, this is my surprise gift for you.”

Jaeyol gave him a thumbs-up, and said, “Yea, the best gift for me. Let me suggest this idea to my boss.”

“Let me inform Real Film about it just in case you will outsource them.”

“Sounds good. There is no reason that my boss will say no. As for Seoul Broadcasting, I’m going to beat them soundly this time. As you know, they tried so hard to damage our image and KOVE DREAM. The trade fair the other day clearly showed a big difference between KOVE products and those of the Dream Korea. Now, it’s time for us to kick their butts.”

Hyunwoo made a frown at that because that might backfire even though Korea Broadcasting felt good at the moment.

Hyunwoo cautiously said, “How are you going to kick their butts?”

“Well, we can show our viewers there is such a big difference between the quality of KOVE and Dream Korea products. Don’t you think Seoul Broadcasting will suffer a big disgrace?”

“That’s too dangerous a method,” said Hyunwoo, shaking his head.

“Far from dangerous, man. We’re just telling the truth.”

“Even if you don’t broadcast it, the general public already knows about that. And if you air that kind program, the Dream Korea team will have bad feelings toward KOVE DREAM. Do you know what that means?”

Jaeyol looked at him silently.

With a serious look, Hyunwoo continued, “That means the division of the Korean community in Vietnam. We don’t have to fan their division when they can’t get united.”

Nodding, Jaeyol said, “Oh, I didn’t know that. I was thoughtless to say so. You’re more thoughtful than me…”

“Well, I just wanted to…”

“I understand what you mean, brother. Let me tell my boss to make sure the program does not broadcast anything that can damage the image of the Dream Korea team. I guess my boss will gladly approve part three of KOVE DREAM.”

Jaeyol hurriedly went to the office of his boss. Though Hyunwoo wanted to treat him to dinner, he was too busy. In addition to meeting his boss, he had several appointments in the evening.

This time Hyunwoo called Kwangsu Han, the owner of Real Film to inform him about part three of KOVE DREAM.

“Oh my god! You’re killing me, man!” said Kwangsu, screaming for joy.

Real Film was only a mediocre production company until last year, but it was not now.

Some time ago, it hired seven video journalists, so that no matter how much work Hyunwoo brought, Kwangsu could easily handle them.

“Soon we’re going to need another music video. I think I am going to work with you on the animation production.”

“Hahaha. Anytime! I’m fully ready, dude.”

After the call, Hyunwoo went back to his house in Ansan. He wanted to see his friends in Seoul as he was there on a business trip, but they were all tied up. Even Suji, his girlfriend, had a dinner get-together with her colleagues.

After that, he called his mother in Ansan.

“Mom, I’d like to have dinner at home today.”

“Really? Wonderful. Let me prepare dinner then.”

Several days later, Korea Broadcasting aired a program reviewing the trade fair.

The program didn’t contain any content about the comparison of the products of KOVE and Dream Korea. Instead, it focused on the secret of the success of KOVE DREAM’s innovation in product quality.

The program also mentioned the success of the technicians whose spirit of challenge paid off nicely, comparing their past lives in Korea and their current lives in Vietnam.

Korea Broadcasting featured a short promo about part three of the KOVE special. The program ended there.

Although Korea Broadcasting didn’t compare the product quality of both teams, the consumers freely expressed their opinion through their own personal blogs, on the internet cafes, or on the bulletins of the broadcasting company and Seoul City.

Almost all of them reacted to KOVE DREAM favorably. Some of them criticized KOVE and favored Dream Korea, but obviously, they were paid by the Dream Korea to do the job.

Thanks to the trade fair the sales of KOVE DREAM companies increased by tenfold compared with their previous sales.

N&C Korea’s sales also increased by 20%. Compared with that of KOVE, it was not that impressive, but still encouraging as its market share showed an upward trend.

As if it was a good sign of his business, he received a call from a real estate agent that he knew well.

“Hyunwoo. Remember the empty lot behind the warehouse of KOVE? The owner marked down the price and listed it for sale. Looks like this is the right time to buy it.”

“Let me buy it then.”

The empty lot was 3,000 pyong (2.45 acre). As Hyunwoo was planning to expand the existing warehouse, he didn’t have to worry about it anymore.

When Hyunwoo went back to the office of Ani & Funny, there were two more inquiries about the use of the characters of Garbage World.

As for the contracts on the characters of Garbage World, there were already 11 such contracts totaling 700 million won in contract money. Among them, there were three from America, one each from Japan, China and France, and five from Korea. This suggested that Duckling Fly was speedily gaining popularity around the world.

“Looks like we will receive more than 300 million in royalty fee this month alone. Including the contract money, it will surpass 1 billion won.”

“Wow, can we expect a bonus?”

Hyunwoo felt the morale of the staff was as important as the animation items. He wanted to reinvest all the profits into the development of new animation works but also wanted to enhance their morale with cash awards.

In particular, he wanted to give Suhim and Jihun and other Anifan kids their property fees, which would make not only fill the Anifan kids but also other staff with great enthusiasm about creation.

“Of course, I’ll give you a bonus as incentives. By the way, we can’t be content with the results now. Let’s make more profits with other animation works. That will increase your bonus, too, right?”

Hyunwoo emphasized the diversity of animation works. He planned to make a new animation based on Suhim’s new story as well as prepare ‘Season 2’ of Tuti & Angelica and at the same time list it on the world market.

When Hyunwoo explained his grand business plan, Jihun made a sullen expression.

“If you achieve that goal, we’ll need more staff to make more characters in every field. Right now, we are too short-handed. Only when we have characters can we create corresponding facial expressions and coloring.”

Hyunwoo fully agreed with that, and said, “I guess I need to hire more staff in that field.”

“Can I recommend someone? Jihun asked as soon as Hyunwoo said that.

Hyunwoo felt he knew who Jihun had in mind. In fact, Hyunwoo also instantly conjured up the image of one person he knew well.
