IF Only..

I've loved you since I met you.. but I wouldn't allow myself to truly feel it until today. I was always thinking ahead. Making decisions out of fear. Today, because of what I learned from you.. every choice I made was different and my life has completely changed. And I've learned that if you do that, you're living life fully. It doesn't matter if you have five minutes or fifty years. Samantha, if not for today, if not for you.. I would never have known love at all. So thank you for being the person who taught me to love and to be loved.

so how many units are you gonna order as an innagural purchase?

if you oder 10,000 units you will get a discout of 10%

that sounds like a good deal..

agreeing to 10,000 units goes beyond my siging aughority..
i will have to call our headquarters in Busan

you have seen the quality of our products, it will be great if you can endore our proposal to your boss..

but, to be honest, there is a high chance we may not be able to oder more than 10,000 units regardless of quality..

how many units do you have in mind?

our original plan was to place an order for about 5000 units as a preliminary stage to get this negotiation rolling..

over time we would sequentially increase the order according to the demand

we would greatly appreciate your rather large order..

management is nothing more than motivating other people..

surging waves in West Sea..

Korea must stop being an avenue for international powerhouse competition..

If past experiences are any guide, the West Sea has been a powder keg for this divided peninsula. Even more ominous are the signs that the Sea is going to be a flash point of East Asia..

a recent act of Japan raised more than a few eyebrows here, indicating that it will deploy an Aegis destroyer to waters near the West Sea. Even more embarrasing was the response of Seoul. It didn't oppose Tokyo's push to send the battleship. Japan's intention to do that is to detect possible missile launches form North Korea..

A news agnecy quoted the official as saying, "It is in the best interest of national security to gurantee the freedom of navigation in open waters of the West Sea" the decision was the virtual toleration of the existence of another country's battleship right under Korea's nose under the pretext of stratigic consideration.
