◈ Episode 191 Abu Dhabi (3)
The child looked at him with a listless expression.
Nam Yun-myeong spoke in English again.
“Are you bored?”
Fanny nodded vigorously. The child’s behavior was very cute.
Nam Woon-myung quickly called Choi Da-eun, and the two sat down next to Fanny.
Ashur’s bodyguards stood guard near the table, then recognized their hotel staff uniforms and quietly retreated.
The child asked in fluent English.
“Who is your sister?”
“Us? Hotel staff.”
“Do famous people often come to this hotel?”
“huh?”
Choi Da-eun pondered for a moment at the child’s question.
Throughout history, famous people have come here, including American presidents and European royalty. However, it didn’t seem like the child asked about such things.
“Yeah, famous people come often.”
Choi Da-eun swallowed her words as she was about to tell him that his father was also a famous person.
The child’s expression brightened.
“Then is DTS coming too?”
DTS is a famous K-pop star group. Although famous people sometimes stay at the hotel, I don’t remember DTS staying here.
As she tried to say no, the child’s eyes looking at her sparkled with anticipation.
Nam Woon-myung answered on his behalf as it was difficult to answer.
“Then, you appear often. You live in Seoul, right?”
Nam Woon Myung bravely endured Choi Da Eun’s glare asking why he was lying.
“Wow! That’s great! Did you see it too, Unnie?”
Immediately, Fanny’s cheers erupted.
Nam Yun-myeong easily understood the current situation.
Fanny was a huge K-pop fan. She loved it so much that she insisted on following her father when he said he was going to Korea, the birthplace of K-pop.
When I was young, I thought that if I went to Korea, I would be able to see all the K-pop stars I wanted to see like rocks rolling around on the streets.
However, once he arrived in Korea, his father was extremely busy, had many guests, and had security issues, so he couldn’t leave the hotel.
Dinner parties, entertaining guests, and negotiating policies are no fun for children.
The disappointment was as great as the expectations were.
Nam Yun-myeong could tell from the child’s personality and behavior that Fanny had grown up preciously in the family.
“Do you miss me?”
“yes.”
“Hmm, then do you want to go see it together?”
Fanny, who had been nodding diligently, quickly became sullen.
“But Dad is too busy. I don’t think he’ll go with me.”
Assur’s schedule is somewhat known. Naturally, it is far from K-pop.
“How about we leave Dad alone and go by ourselves? I’ll talk to him.”
“Really?”
“okay.”
“Wow!”
Fanny’s mouth opened and her eyes sparkled.
Nam Woon-myung and Choi Da-eun played with the child until the dinner was over, soothing him.
When the dinner was over, Choi Da-eun sighed.
“What on earth are you going to do? There’s no way I can watch K-pop with my child.”
“Let’s give it a try. If we just say it well, I don’t think Ashur will object.”
“Do you think that’s possible?”
“You have to make it possible. Da-eun is in a position where she can suggest that schedule, so try your best.”
Choi Da-eun rolled her eyes.
Nam Woon-myung wasn’t worried. Given Ashur’s personality, he would feel sorry for not being able to give his daughter a good time.
If he loved his daughter, it was possible. The only problem was that he had to be guarded. All that was left was Ashur’s determination.

Early the next day, Nam Woon-myung received a call from Choi Da-eun.
When he arrived at the Hwayoung Hotel in a hurry, Choi Da-eun was waiting for him, holding Fanny’s hand.
“Hello, sir!”
Fanny waved at him.
After greeting each other absentmindedly, Nam Woon-myung asked.
“What happened?”
“What happened? You told me to push for it, didn’t you?”
Last night, Choi Da-eun proposed a K-pop tour to Asur through her agent.
Of course, she thought he would refuse, but surprisingly, she accepted easily, and Choi Da-eun ended up taking care of Pani for the day.
Fanny said, as if she had noticed the conversation between the two.
“I kept telling him to send it to me.”
“Ah! Good job!”
Nam Yun-myeong praised Fanny.
“But where are you going?”
Choi Da-eun asked worriedly. She had actually left the child in the care, but had not set a specific schedule.
Choi Da-eun wasn’t really interested in K-pop, and Nam Woon-myung didn’t even know who the hottest idols were these days.
“What are you worried about? Isn’t there a holy land of K-pop?”
Was it Cheongdam-dong? If you go to the area where entertainment companies are concentrated, it will be resolved somehow.
Nam Woon-myung put Pani in Choi Da-eun’s car. Four bodyguards followed behind them. As expected, it is not easy for children of celebrities to move.
Just leaving the suffocating hotel made Fanny’s face brighten. As expected, children need to go out and experience new things.
While Nam Woon-myung was pointing out the street and explaining to Fanny with great effort, Choi Da-eun tried to contact him by making phone calls here and there.
There must be someone among her friends who has influence in the entertainment industry. There is no entertainment company that would refuse to see Ashur’s daughter.
After making a few phone calls, Choi Da-eun smiled broadly and said.
“I figured it out. First, I’ll go to Cheongdam-dong and look around two entertainment companies.”
If Pani likes it, Assur might buy the entertainment company. With Assur’s ability, he could buy all the K-pop companies and still have money left over.
“And there’s a DTS fan meeting tonight. It’s someone’s birthday…….”

“I’m Jumin Oppa.”
“huh?”
“You have to know that much to be a fan. Can I go there too?”
Their eyes sparkle with anticipation.
“huh.”
“Wow! Sister! Mister! Thank you!”
Fanny knew better. The excited child couldn’t keep her mouth shut.
But I still don’t understand why the singer is my older brother and he is my uncle.
Nam Woon-myung quietly whispered to Choi Da-eun.
“But can you really attend?”
“Who am I? That much is in my hands.”
Actually, I almost ignored the connections that Choi Da-eun had built.
Anyway, the schedule went smoothly.
It was a great opportunity to connect with Assur, but more than anything, I was glad that the child who came all the way to Korea had a memorable time.
Looking into the cute Pani’s sparkling eyes, Nam Woon Myung also felt as if he was riding on a cloud.
* * *
A UAE financial cooperation seminar was held at the hotel’s banquet hall.
Yesterday was a banquet attended by people from all walks of life, from politics to economics, and today we held smaller gatherings divided by field.
In the UAE, the event was attended by the Governor of the Central Bank of the UAE (CBUAE), several commercial bank officials and partners from the sovereign wealth fund, the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority (ADIA).
In Korea, the Governor of the Bank of Korea, the Governor of the Financial Supervisory Service, presidents of commercial banks, and executives from famous securities companies, insurance companies, and private equity funds gathered together.
The topics covered include global investment, digital-based financial techniques, and blockchain technology development.
Yoon Se-bin was invited to this seminar as the CEO of Korea Asset Management. This time, Park Won-tae also attended as the CEO of Mega Asset Management.
Thanks to that, Yoon Se-bin walked around next to Park Won-tae and greeted him.
Although the influence of Korea Asset Management is still inferior to that of commercial banks or large insurance companies, she stands out here. This is because of her youth and beauty.
However, the key figures in the UAE were monopolized by high-ranking officials, so she didn’t even have a chance to say hello.
A familiar face approached her.
This is Choi Hyeon-myeong, the CEO of KMM Investment.
“CEO Yoon Se-bin is here too.”
“hello.”
“I’ve been hearing a lot about your performance lately.”
“No. I was just lucky.”
“You participated in the restructuring of the Bukseong Group, right?”
“Korea Bank recommended it. I don’t think it’s a good investment.”
Yoon Se-bin answered honestly.
The stake in Bukseong Construction, owned by Bukseong Oil Refinery, which was taken over by Korea Asset Management, is a headache that cannot be sold and cannot be properly managed even if the corporate value increases.
Of course, there is an advantage in that if the value falls, the North Star Group will compensate for a certain portion.
President Choi Hyeon-myeong also agreed.
“That’s right. If it weren’t for the North Star, I wouldn’t have taken on the job.”
“I heard that KMM also took on the demands of the North Star?”
“Ah! It’s a Bukseong card. I bought a Bukseong card. Of course, they said they’d buy it back later.”
In the Bukseong Group, the Bukseong Card was a special existence.
The owner’s family owns most of the shares, and affiliates own only a small portion. On the other hand, Bukseong Card owns some shares in affiliates, including Bukseong Life Insurance.
It seems like they were in dire need of funds since they put the Bukseong Card up for sale to a private equity fund.
“Beokseong Card is an important affiliate of Beokseong Group that can never be abandoned… so there will be no loss.”
“Yes. Thanks to that, the North Star card ended up in KMM’s hands.”
President Choi Hyeon-myeong let out a few words.
Yoon Se-bin has obtained new information. It is a secret transaction between KMM and the Bukseong Group. Of course, the change in shareholding is disclosed, but if you look at the circumstances behind it, you can understand the current situation of Bukseong in more detail.
Yoon Se-bin, who had parted ways with President Choi Hyeon-myeong, stopped in front of the most complex area of the banquet hall.
This is where the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority’s partners and heads of major financial institutions who want to meet them gather.
The Abu Dhabi Investment Authority of the UAE is the world’s third largest sovereign wealth fund, following Norway and China. It is known that the funds it manages amount to a whopping $1 trillion. That’s a whopping sum of money, equivalent to about 1,000 trillion won in Korean currency.
It is twice the size of Singapore’s Temasek, which is affiliated with Korea Asset Management and Mega Asset Management.
Since there was a person here who could manage such a huge amount of money, there was a lot of noise from domestic securities firms and asset management companies trying to make a connection.
As she was thinking about exchanging business cards amidst the chaos, a man came up close to her.
I took a step back to the side and checked my opponent.
“CEO Yoon Se-bin?”
He was a tall, handsome man in his mid-30s. I thought I had seen him somewhere, but I couldn’t quite remember where.
“Yes, but?”
The man, who looked disappointed when she didn’t recognize him, introduced himself.
“This is Kang Han-soo, the CEO of MZ Securities. I think we met in the US before.”
Of course, Yoon Se-bin did not remember Kang Han-soo. However, he knew about MZ Financial Group. In the domestic financial world, MZ Financial Group is on par with Korea Investment & Securities Group.
MZ Bank, MZ Insurance, and MZ Securities are the central axes of the group. Who would be the president of such a securities company!
“Oh, hello.”
Yoon Se-bin also greeted me as if he knew me.
Kang Han-soo continued talking with a smile on his face.
“I heard you launched a new fund recently… What was it…?”
Kang Han-soo trailed off, acting vague as if he really didn’t know.
“It’s the Byglobal Fund.”
“Ah! That’s right. Biglobal! It was ambitiously launched, but… is it selling well?”
“So-so.”
“There are rumors that it is a death trap for ordinary people.”
It secretly scratched her insides.
Of course, sales performance was poor for the general public, but it is not disappointing considering the interest from institutional investors.
Before she could make an excuse, Kang Han-soo continued speaking.
“Well, it would be strange if Korea Investment & Securities were to sell well since it was completely destroyed by the Bukseong Market incident. Consumers are smarter than you think.”
“Yeah, that’s right.”
“Se-hyeok almost ruined the company… but his younger brother, CEO Yoon, saved it.”
It was only then that I remembered. He was a man who was a friend of Yoon Se-hyeok’s and who occasionally visited her when she was in the US.
“If it weren’t for CEO Yoon, the entire Korea Investment & Securities would have suffered a huge blow.”
It was difficult to tell whether he was setting her up or looking down on Korea Investment & Securities Group.
