The Famous Millionaire

Chapter 206

And one important fact was that the consumers had been waiting for those kind of products for long.

It was because of China. Almost all the US markets were dominated by Chinese products, including electronics, food and drink, school supplies and kitchen appliances.

Not only US markets but also most of the markets around the world were no exception. In particular, some US consumers launched a campaign of ‘Let’s liberate ourselves from the Chinese products!’

But it was impossible because there were too many Chinese products. And that’s why they were earnestly waiting for the products that could compete with Chinese products.

It was right at this time that KOVE DREAM products debuted with lower prices and higher quality than Chinese products.

Thanks to Hyunwoo’s promotional activities like this, Seungwoo Paek, the representative of N&C USA, made a happy scream.

Though he hired as many as 100 employees as requested by Hyunwoo, he was flooded with orders for KOVE products

“Hey, I think I need to hire more people. I can’t handle it with the existing staff anymore.”

“Are there that many orders?”

“Yea, I can’t even have time to talk with you now. I’m packing the orders with my staff.”

“Good job! Just keep on working like that for one month. You’ll get accustomed to it.”

After the call, Hyunwoo grinned.

Not only Seoungwoo but also Unhye Kim, the representative of N&C Japan, was also screaming happily.

“Don’t you know the saying, ‘It does a young man good to suffer some privation in the world’? Take care, then. Hahaha.”

“Sir, we have set up a travel plan.”

One of the students at Ani & Funny presented several pieces of paper to Hyunwoo.

It was a travel plan. As Hyunwoo directed, students formed their own groups. Googling, they searched lodgings, restaurants and travel courses they would take.

They preferred seas, and their destinations were islands like Anmyon or Bokil Island.

Some of them even chose Cheju Island, the southernmost island.

Some even picked up a ridiculous place.

“Seoul Amusement Park?”

The student who proposed the idea scratched his head, asking, “I guess you reject that place.”

Hyunwoo got confused momentarily.

In fact, an amusement park was not a travel course. But on the other hand, it was the place that the students wanted to visit most to relieve their stress and promote their creativity.

“Let me pay for you to go to that kind of amusement park once a year.”

“Wow! Are you serious?”

Not only the student who proposed the amusement park but also other students shouted for joy.

“Got it. Let me find some teachers who can guide you to your destinations. Just be well prepared before you leave.”

“Thanks!”

Hyunwoo logged on to Story Mecca.

In the category of friends, he found one titled ‘Travel Teacher’. There were six teachers who wanted to work with Hyunwoo.

He sent a message to all of them, along with the students’ travel plan attachments.

Two of them said they would participate, but the other four said they couldn’t because of their conflicting schedules.

Hyunwoo expected the upcoming travel would be of great help to the students.

Though it would be costly, it was a worthwhile investment, he thought.

While he was busy taking care of the students’ travel plan, the date was fast approaching for him to meet with Chan Yun, the president of Story Mecca.

He was supposed to sign the contract with Story Mecca on the open contest on the story of the animated movie hosted by Ani & Funny.

But the contract was a done deal, so that was not Hyunwoo’s priority.

What was more important was his meeting with Chan Yun.

Hyunwoo’s heart began to pound strongly.

Finally it’s today. What should I talk to him about?

He left the office early to go to the appointed place.

Kyungsu and Jonghyon accompanied him.

Both were pretty excited. In particular, Jonghyon, who used to be a famous writer in Story Mecca, was thrilled because he knew well the terrific success story of Chan Yun.

Hyunwoo said with a smile, “I think you can be another Chan Yun. Please develop a story whenever you have free time. I’ll make it a box office hit just like Garbage World.”

“Are you going to make my story an animated work?”

“Of course. I didn’t hire you to do warehouse work. Don’t forget your original job is being a writer. Your work at KOVE DREAM at the moment is a side job. If your story is good enough, I can make yours an animated movie instead of the contest.”

Jonghyon felt his heart was full. He couldn’t believe.

“Are you going to make a story an animated movie later? Isn’t this a one-time event?”

“No, not at all. I’m going to continue to make animated movies. In fact, I haven’t told it to anybody, but I am currently planning another project secretly.”

Actually, it was related to Story Mecca.

While posting the series of Tuti & Angelica in Story Mecca, Hyunwoo began to be discontented.

The core of his complaints was that Story Mecca expanded business recklessly. Its site was a mix of novels, webtoons, and animations, etc. It looked like the site was not organized and even messy.

In fact, Story Mecca was famous for its genre novels only for some time, with webtoons and animation getting short shrift.

But the site began to win popularity with webtoons a couple of years ago, overtaking even genre novels in popularity, which made the site all studded with various genres and contents.

Hyunwoo thought that was standing in the way of Story Mecca’s further development.

He felt it would be much more effective to run the site of genre novels, webtoons, and animated works separately.

“I’m going to create an exclusive site for animation. I’m going to create an online movie site for animations. Of course, if they get good reviews, I will make them designed for the theater audience.”

Hyunwoo’s plan was pretty detailed. Though he never told anybody about it, he had been thinking about it for a long time.

And that was not a distant dream for him. Given the fast growth of Ani & Funny as well as KOVE DREAM, the kind of animation-centered Story Mecca that Hyunwoo had in mind would be realized quite soon.

That’s why Hyunwoo had the students open an internet cafe under the name of Ani & Funny and run it directly. He planned to hire competent students as full-time employees of Ani & Funny.

Jonghyon’s heart began to beat when he heard Hyunwoo’s words.

They arrived at the main building of Story Mecca in the meantime. It was a high-end building that used all the floors for Story Mecca.

“Wow, this is gorgeous!”

“When can we have a building like this?

“Of course, we’ll have one someday,” said Hyunwoo confidently.

“Let’s come in.”

When they entered the building, the security guard stopped them.

“May I ask what business has brought you here?”

“We’re from Ani & Funny. I have an appointment with Chan Yun.”

The guard’s jaws dropped at that.

“Oh, I see. Actually, I’ve been waiting for you at his direction. It’s an honor for me to meet the president of that famous Ani & Funny. My daughter is a great fan of Garbage World.”

The guard welcomed them warmly.

He kindly escorted them to the 7th floor where Chan Yun’s office is located.

In the VIP waiting room were various magazines on computers, newspapers, and magazines.

A beautiful lady served them cool soft drinks and fruits. They waited about ten minutes over soft drinks when a middle-aged gentleman who looked generous came in with his attendants.

The gentleman held out his hand, saying, “My name is Chan Yun.”

Hyunwoo and Kyungsu stood up quickly. Given his casual clothes and generous look, Hyunwoo felt he might be a middle-level manager, but he was the president of Story Mecca that dominated genre novels around the world.

“I’m Hyunwoo Jang, the president of Ani & Funny. And he is manager Kyungsu Han, and he is the writer doing his activities with his pen name Pikgaek in Story Mecca.”

“Oh, I see. Nice to meet you. Please have a seat.”

Chan was a pretty busy person. He was managing his daily schedule minute by minute.

His meeting with Hyunwoo was planned for 26 minutes. Even though Hyunwoo wanted to see him a little longer, he couldn’t because of Chan’s next appointment. In other words, there was no time to exchange idle pleasantries or greetings.

Hearing the appointment time, Hyunwoo was disappointed. He had somewhat great expectations because he was told that Chan would personally get involved in the animation story contest.

But business was business. As soon as he exchanged brief greetings, they got down to business right away. To save time, Hyunwoo presented his own plan to Chan.

“This is my idea on the contest.”

Chan read it carefully.

And then he gave it to his attendant quickly.

“Looks like you have an overall sketch of the plan. You can discuss the details with our staff.”

That’s it. It was such a brief meeting that Hyunwoo felt like it was nonsense.

In fact, it was nothing unusual in Chan’s eyes.

Though this was the first time Hyunwoo hosted a contest, Story Mecca already held such contests many times before. So, they could immediately set up the plan as soon as they were briefed about the contest idea.

“Do you have anything more to mention in connection with this business?”

“No, not at all. Let me talk with your staff as soon as they’re done with the plan.”

Hyunwoo felt it regrettable. He wanted to talk with Chan a little more, but he had to stop it there.

But it didn’t end that way.

As soon as Hyunwoo was done, Chan took off his glasses and put them on the table. And then he looked at Hyunwoo quietly.

“As our business talk is over, why don’t we share our life story for the remaining time?”
