Chapter 152

“KOVE DREAM… Did you say it was a fake?”

What was more ridiculous was Seoul Broadcasting's att.i.tude? Wasn't it one of the three major networks in Korea? How can they play into the hands of a trickster?

“By the way, who are these men of Dream Korea?”

“I hear it is a coalition of dream teams with DAS Toy as the core . They're pretty ecclectic . ”

The moment Hyunwoo heard about DAS Toy, he immediately realized how things began to go wrong .

Hyunwoo let out a sigh before he knew it, “He is a much worse guy than I think . In fact, he…”

Hyunwoo told Jaeyol all about Hyongbok Lee, the owner of DAS Toy .

Hearing the whole story, Jaeyol also sighed deeply and said, “How can he do that because his company was not included in the KOVE DREAM project list? What the heck is Seoul Broadcasting doing now? Why are they taking side with him and covering that?”

Hyunwoo felt that someone gave Seoul Broadcasting a wrong tip on KOVE DREAM .

Though DAS Toy was despicable, Seoul Broadcasting was just as despicable . How can a major broadcasting network play into the hands of such a liar?

But Jaeyol seemed to understand the position of Seoul Broadcasting .

“Reporting is also a compet.i.tion . As the reporters of Seoul Broadcasting failed to get the scoop on KOVE DREAM, they might be pursuing Dream Korea as compensation . I feel so sorry for them, though . It's a big nothing burger anyway . I don't have to care at all about them,” said Jaeyol .

Hyunwoo was of the same opinion . While digging into that, they would realize that the tip was false .

What he was really concerned about was the city government of Seoul . He heard that the Seoul City officials were accompanying the shooting team of Seoul Broadcasting for the feasibility study of the trade fair .

“I don't worry about other things, but I wonder if the projected trade fair can be affected by Dream Korea . ”

“Don't worry . They don't have to draw a line between KOVE DREAM and Dream Korea . Didn't I tell you that the trade fair case was already approved by the Seoul mayor?”

Hyunwoo grinned from ear to ear . Though he expected so, he felt like a million dollars when he heard the news from Jaeyol .

“That's news to me . I wish you had tipped me off on that earlier . ”

“Hahaha . Actually, I'm so absent-minded these days . They are going to form a team soon to support our program . If all things go well, I guess the trade fair will be held sometime in May . ”

It was thrilling news to Hyunwoo . He expected he could hit gold if he prepared for the trade fair well from now on .

“Terrific job! When are you coming back from Vietnam? I'd like to treat you to dinner . ”

“Wonderful! I would love that . I think we can finish it a bit early thanks to the excellent work of Real Film . I think I can return home soon, so find a good bar for me . ”

“Got it, brother!”

After the call, Hyunwoo clenched his fist and yelled for joy .

There was a secret meeting going on in Vietnam about the same time . There were a total of the presidents of eight companies gathered there, and the central figure was Hyongbok Lee of DAS Toy .

Hyonbok began to talk about 'Dream Korea . ' His point was simple . He argued that as the KOVE DREAM team formed its own group of companies, it was necessary for those excluded from the KOVE list to form a group of their own, but the presidents gathered there were not happy .

“Isn't it true that our technological abilities are not up to the standards set by KOVE DREAM? How can we compete with them?”

“Instead, our products are cheaper than theirs, right? In terms of the quality of products, KOVE DREAM set the bar high for us, but our products are much better than Chinese goods . ”

“That's true . ”

“Even if the companies of KOVE DREAM are all combined, they are less than ten, all told . I hear two more companies are joining the list, and with that, it's eleven at the most . On the contrary, we are twice as many and are united more strongly . There is no reason for us to lag behind the compet.i.tion . ”

The presidents began to go seesaw gradually by Hyongbok's persuasion, but the problem was their image . It was impossible to create the kind of image that could surpa.s.s that of KOVE DREAM .

Of course, there was an expedient answer .

“Why don't we coin our name as 'VEKO Dream' or 'Dream KOVE' like them?”

But Hyongbok shook his head and said, “No, they're very cunning . I was thinking of that, but they already registered all such names . ”

Hearing his explanation, all of them began to be resigned to the reality .

“Let's think about how to survive from now on . ”

Hyongbok curled his lips and thought to himself, Done! I think it's not impossible to crush KOVE DREAM by using Seoul Broadcasting well .

Sat.u.r.day morning Suji headed to Samhwari in the city of Hwasung with her parents, where Hyunwoo's Mom's factory was located . They wanted to take a look at the new house they would move into .

They found the lot was much more s.p.a.cious than expected . Mrs . Kong was all happy .

“In fact, I love a country house better than a condo in the city . What a scenic view from here! I'm worried about you, Suji . You will go through lots of inconveniences living in the countryside . ”

“Well, I like this place, too . ”

They looked around the new house here and there, when there was heard a familiar voice .

“Suji, when did you get here? Uh, your mom and dad are also here . How are you?”

Turning her head, she saw Hyunwoo, who was sticking his head over the high wall on the other side and looking down on them .

With a bright smile, Suji waved her hand .

“It's cold out there . You might catch a cold . Please come this way and have some hot tea,” said Hyunwoo .

“Shall we?'

Suji led them to Hyunwoo's house . As there was no gate to Hyunwoo's house, they had to walk around the wall to get there .

Suji grumbled, walking around, “Looks like we have to pull down this wall . ”

When they entered Hyunwoo's house, his parents were ready to greet them with nice tea .

Mrs . Kong was familiar with Hyunwoo's family thanks to her a.s.sociation with them at the alternative school, and her husband Taeho seemed to have made friends with them, too . He didn't show any awkwardness in exchanging greetings with them or speaking with them .
