I was able to explain the details to him since I had organized the relevant contents at the base in Daehan.

Min Yo-han held his breath and listened to me.
Hearing everything he had put together, he shouted.
“It’s not a small discovery, it’s a great discovery, isn’t it?”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Min Yo-han seemed excited.
“The idea of spraying water and nutrients on the roots of crops is ingenious. If we use that system to create a hydroponics facility, I think vertical cultivation is possible.”
A smile naturally appeared on his lips. He also had the same opinion as Lee Jang-woo.
“I will be returning to Korea soon. It would be good if you could do the verification work before that.”
“Sure.”
In case u have any questions u can refer to uwumtl dot com for references
Now is the time to hang up the phone.

Min Yo-han continued.
“I will give you one last word.”
“What?”
“The president is really great. To come up with such an idea.”
“It’s thanks to meeting Min Yo-han. I think I woke up. Go back to sleep.”
“I already broke it all. Now let’s start the verification work. I’m sure this time around.”
He was humble enough to just listen to it.
Soon after, I called Hae-ri.
“Mr. Deokmyeong, it’s been a long time.”
“How have you been?”
“I was fine. But what are you doing? Have you ever come to America?”
“You fit it right away. I am in San Francisco now.”
“Really?”
That evening, I made an appointment with Jeon-ri. He said that we would meet to discuss the details.
Jang-woo Lee also accompanied him to the meeting place.
We met with Jeon Hae-ri at an Italian restaurant near the hotel.
“Today, you are not with Baek Min-seok, but with someone else.”
Jeon Hae-ri remembered Baek Min-seok, who had been with her before.
I remembered Baek Min-seok asking her about hydroponics.
“My name is Jangwoo Lee.”
Lee Jang-woo held out his hand without hesitation.
Even before the meal was served, there was a friendly atmosphere.
This is because I brought up the story when I first met Jeon Hae-ri last year. From the story of receiving dried persimmons to the story of making an air pump as a toy at a fairground.
The story blossomed while eating vongole pasta.
“By the way, are you here for the fair this year?”
“It’s a business trip to Antarctica.”
The topic naturally moved to Antarctica.
When I heard that they had built a hydroponic plant at the Antarctic base, she looked at me in amazement.
I couldn’t seem to get past the pasta side.
“Ugh, is that true? You said you built a hydroponic plant at an Antarctic base?”
“It is a way to build a hydroponics plant in Antarctica and return to Korea.”
“Is that great? Growing up so fast… … .”
“Thanks to Harry.”
“Is it my fault?
Hae-ri opened her eyes and asked.
“Because Harry introduced you to John.”
“Then, did you scout Min Yo-han?”
To be precise, she didn’t introduce Min Yo-han. Jeon Hae-ri only provided a way to communicate with Min Yo-han. That alone was enough.
“Mr. Yohan Min is now working with farmers in Jirisan.”
“You are really talented! If Mark knew, my stomach would hurt.”
It’s the moment you’ve been waiting for
I asked about the current status of the Plant Factory.
Jeon-ri calmly spoke about the situation at the Plant Factory.

One of them was impressive.
It is the story of a project that Mark Lester’s ambitious push had failed.
She didn’t say anything about the project.
It’s something I can’t ask for any more.
Hae-ri said on the way to parting.
“Our company is also participating in the fair tomorrow. Come take a look.”
“Since I’ve come all the way here, of course I should go to the fair.”
“Then I’ll see you tomorrow.”
“Okay, take this.”
I handed her a small box.
“what is this?”
“It was bought in Antarctica.”
“Antarctica?”
I opened the box. A penguin doll came out of it.
“thanks. Penguins are cute.”
This is a souvenir I bought when I went to the US base.
He also prepared gifts for his family and co-workers.

When we arrived at the hotel, Jangwoo Lee said.
“I think I’m still out of my mind.”
“Is it because of the jet lag?”
“It’s not about jet lag, it’s about right here.”
Lee Jang-woo pointed his head with his finger.
“Are you having a headache?”
“It’s not like I’m still dreaming.”
“Do you feel like dreaming?”
“My body is in Antarctica and I am dreaming, dreaming in San Francisco.”
Lee Jang-woo made a playful expression.
“what? I knew where you were sick.”
“It hurts, but it’s the best in body and mind.”
Lee Jang-woo took out a can of beer from the refrigerator.
“Today, I want to have a drink with our representative.”
“When I’m at the base, I eat it all by myself. Alcohol and meat.”
“I’m sorry, I couldn’t help it then.”
Recalling that incident, we grabbed our belly button and laughed. It was time for a pork belly party at the base in Daehan.
Jang-woo Lee ate pork belly without rest. We didn’t even have time to drink together.
After a long time, I was thirsty with a cold can of beer.
I feel like my stomach is being ripped open.
Lee Jang-woo also enjoyed the drink.
he said with a cheerful face.
“I felt good today.”
“What did you like?”
“The fact that the researcher at the Plant Factory has achieved a surprising amount of work.”
“It’s going to be even more amazing.”
“Of course I think so. Because our representative is a special person.”

The next morning, Lee Jang-woo and I headed to the California Agricultural Fair.
The fair is well underway in Tulare, California.
This year, 1,800 companies from 69 countries participated in the fair. The number of visitors to the fair exceeded 120,000.
The number of participating countries and visitors increased more than last year.
I could feel the global interest in agriculture.
Lee Jang-woo looked at the fairground and said.
“It’s huge.”
“You probably won’t be able to see it all in one day.”
“Shall we take a look at the Plant Factory first?”
Unlike last year, I was at peace.
If I was in a hurry when I first visited the fairgrounds, now I can afford it.
There was also pride in setting up a hydroponics plant in Antarctica.
“There’s Harry over there.”
Lee Jang-woo waved to Jeon-ri.
she came to us
“You have come. I was still talking about Mr. Deokmyung.”
“My story?”
“It’s about setting up a hydroponics plant in Antarctica.”
That was then. A man appeared from behind her.
This is Mark Lester, CEO of Plant Factory.
he reached out to me
“Mr. Kim, we met again.”
“Nice to see you again.”
“I heard they built a hydroponics plant in Antarctica. The growth rate of the farmers in Jirisan is astonishing.”
“Because Koreans are quick at everything.”
“I agree with that. Koreans are fast at anything.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mark Lester glanced at Jeon Hae-ri and said.
Looking back, Jeon Hae-ri’s outfit looked different.
It seemed that her rank had risen quite a bit.
We went into the fairgrounds together.
I spoke lightly to Mark Lester.
“I heard about you in Antarctica.”
“Did you hear me? And in Antarctica?”
“I heard Mark Lester’s name carefully.”
“Who is that?”
He looked at me like a startled rabbit.
“Meet Mohammad Salah.”
When the name Mohammad came up, he seemed embarrassed.
“Mr. Kim… … . How about Mohammad?”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mark Lester was stuttering to the end. Jee-ri, who was next to her, was surprised.
he whispered to me
“Can I talk to you in a quiet place?”
“Sure.”
I also had something I wanted to hear from him.
Return home and verification
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mark Lester led me to the room.
It was like an exclusive space used by the plant factory in the fairground.
Several people were talking in the room.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mark Lester drove them all out.
He asked quietly when the surroundings were cleared up.
“You heard my story from Mohammad Salah, what do you mean?”
There was a sense of impatience in Mark Lester.
“I heard that Mohammad had hired the Plant Factory to work. A project to build a hydroponic plant in Dubai.”
After speaking, he looked at Mark Lester’s face for a moment.
A chilly aura permeates
I heard from Jeon-ri that the project that Mark Lester was ambitious about had failed.
I didn’t hear the details, but I thought it was the Dubai project.
There was no need to explain to him the exhaustive account of Captain Benjamin’s introduction of Mohammad Salah.
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mark Lester is a quick-witted person.
I thought it would be understandable even if I said it simply.
As expected, I didn’t ask about the story.
He spoke about the Dubai project.
“I never thought I would talk to Mr. Kim about the Dubai project. So, did you hear the story after that?”
“I was told that it did not produce satisfactory results.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mark Lester sat down on an empty chair. He sighed and made a sad face.
“As Mr. Kim has heard. It did not produce satisfactory results.”
He didn’t use the word failure. It’s probably because of self-esteem.
I was curious as to the exact reason for the failure.
That was also the reason I visited San Francisco.
I asked him carefully.
“What was the problem?”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mark Lester poured the water from the bottle into a paper cup.
“If you went all the way to Antarctica and built a hydroponic plant, you know how important the water cycle is, right?”
He purposely poured over water. Water overflowed from the paper cup.
I remembered the scene where the hydroponics plant built at the Chilean base became a sea of water.
“There was a problem with layering the hydroponic plant. We couldn’t make it the way Mohammad wanted it to be.”
He, too, did not find a solution for vertical cultivation.
It was the answer I wanted to hear from him.
“Did Mr. Kim find a solution for vertical cultivation?”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mark Lester asked, looking at the paper cup full of water.
I wondered how he would react if he told me that he had found a solution for vertical cultivation.
I didn’t answer.
He nodded and said.
“It’s not easy either. If Mr. Kim finds a solution, be sure to contact me as well.”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mark Rest drank the full water from the paper cup at once.
It seemed to express dissatisfaction rather than thirst.
He jumped up from his seat.
“Shall we go to the fairgrounds now?”
“There is one thing I haven’t told you.”
“What is it?”
“Momahad has also given the farmers a chance in Jirisan.”
“Any chance?”
“This is a Dubai project.”
“Mr. Kim is also challenging the project, isn’t it?”
to let u know that i been through a lot then i been going non stop with this practice for nothing
Mark Lester said loudly. He had a smile on his face, but he didn’t feel any joy.
“Do you have any hidden secrets? Any secrets to vertical cultivation?”
He said with a clever expression on his face.
I looked into his eyes quietly. I could read his thoughts with just his eyes.
It was decided that no one could do it.
“I wish you luck.”
