◈ Episode 192 Abu Dhabi (4)

Kang Han-soo’s gaze turned to the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority people.

“Since Representative Yoon has come here too… I guess he is interested in the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund?”

“…….”

Yoon Se-bin was cautious with his words.

“As Assur’s visit to Korea became more concrete, rumors began to circulate that he was looking for an investment partner in Abu Dhabi. No one knows what sector they are targeting. However, our country is strong in manufacturing and the UAE is also preparing for the time when oil will run out, so there is a good understanding between the two.”

Kang Han-soo took a sip of his drink, moistened his throat, and then continued speaking.

“There are probably only one or two investment management companies that would have the honor of working with Abu Dhabi. Korea Asset Management is already managing Temasek funds, right? It may not be much, though.”

“yes.”

“If you are greedy enough to go all the way to Abu Dhabi in Temasek, aren’t you going too far? You should also take MZ Securities into consideration.”

“MZ Securities is much bigger than us?”

“It’s not like that compared to Korea Investment & Securities. Oh, Korea Investment & Securities is now ruined… Wouldn’t it be better for CEO Yoon to restrain himself for the time being and strengthen his internal structure? Se-hyeok can’t let his guard down. We don’t know what he’ll do next. At that time, the securities company might really fall.”

“What does that mean…….”

Yoon Se-bin was offended by the hidden intentions of the other party. As expected, the relationship between MZ Financial Group and Korea Investment & Securities Group was not good. This man was mocking Korea Investment & Securities Group by comparing it to Yoon Se-hyeok.

Kang Han-soo said with a bright smile.

“What I mean is… doesn’t the sovereign wealth fund prioritize stability? But what if Korea Investment & Securities takes over Abu Dhabi and screws it up again? Wouldn’t that be a disgrace to this country? We need to prevent such things in advance. That’s why it’s unreasonable for Korea Investment & Securities Group to apply for fund management in Abu Dhabi.”

Yoon Se-bin glared at the other person at the blatant disparagement. He was speechless.

“Haha, you seem to be in a bad mood… Anyway, Abu Dhabi is with us. It’s not a fund that Korea Investment & Securities would dare touch.”

Kang Han-soo smiled brightly, nodded at her, and disappeared into the group.

Yoon Se-bin looked at the back of his opponent, shocked as if he had been hit.

Kang Han-soo was hanging out with people of similar age again.

I could hear their quiet chatter.

“President Kang! Who was that beauty just now?”

“Huh? Ah! CEO Yoon Se-bin. Have you heard of Korea Investment & Securities Group?”

“Ah! I know. We know each other well, right?”

“I asked you about various things related to investment, so I gave you some guidance. I told you not to be too greedy. In this town, if you are too greedy, you won’t know if your hand or foot is cut off.”

“You’re beautiful, but don’t you have dark intentions?”

“The evil intentions must be on their side. I’m popular with the ladies, too.”

Yoon Se-bin sighed.

The other person deliberately offended her. If you confront her, you will be caught in her tricks for no reason. In this case, it is better to pretend not to hear and not confront her.

Yoon Se-bin bit her lips hard.

I noticed the representatives of domestic organizations who had gathered at the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. They were doing everything they could to win Abu Dhabi’s favor and attract the sovereign wealth fund. They were clinking glasses, making eye contact, offering company pamphlets, and even giving brief briefings.

She also wanted to jump into the Abu Dhabi sovereign wealth fund race.

But I was confident that if the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority really had an eye for things, they would not make a rash decision like that.

Suddenly, I missed Nam Woon-myung.

I heard that you are going on a tour of Seoul with Ashur’s child today. I don’t know what you are doing now.

* * *

I went to a fan meeting and dropped Fanny off at the hotel late at night.

It’s not too late for adults, but it might be quite late for children in upper elementary school.

It’s true that Koreans sleep late at night compared to other countries. It’s because of working overtime, entertainment culture, and social conditions concentrated in big cities.

Nam Woon-myung and Choi Da-eun took Fanny to the front of the presidential room.

The newly renovated hallways were cleaner than before, and there were strict security guards stationed throughout the hallways.

“Sister, uncle! Thank you.”

Fanny greeted her politely.

Choi Da-eun comforted the child.

“If you want to see it again, let me know. I’ll make an appointment.”

Fanny, who had had a pleasant day, was sad to leave and did not go into the room for a long time.

They barely managed to get the child in and turned around when Ashur’s attendant called out to them.

“Both of you, please wait a moment.”

“yes?”

The attendant was quite large. If I hit him once, I’ll probably see the gates of hell.

As I was waiting with some caution, the attendant came and spoke.

“Thank you for your hard work today. I was instructed to give you two gifts. Is there anything you would like?”

An unexpected stroke of luck came. It was worth taking good care of Pani all day.

Assur’s spending habits are not ordinary. For example, he gave cars as gifts to players of the soccer club he acquired, and even provided them with a penthouse.

“A gift?”

“Mr. Destiny, choose.”

Choi Da-eun gave him the choice of gift.

Of course I have. I’ve been waiting for this opportunity.

“I would like to see the Deputy Prime Minister.”

Assur’s official title is Deputy Prime Minister of the UAE.

The attendant frowned with an embarrassed expression. He gestured with his eyes to tell me something else, as if he was in deep trouble.

Nam Yun-myeong had no intention of changing his mind.

The attendant, who had been hesitating for a while, had no choice but to nod.

“Let me explain first. Please go back and wait.”

Okay! If Nam Woon Myung judges Assur’s personality to be correct, he will pursue a meeting with him. After all, his contribution in taking care of his young daughter Fani is by no means small.

Nam Woon-myung came down to the lower floor of the hotel with Choi Da-eun.

“Wouldn’t it have been better if you had asked Ashur to buy you a supercar? But Unmyeong-ssi doesn’t even have a car, right?”

“Da-eun, you were the one who said it was a gift, right?”

“I’m a hotel employee, so it would be strange for me to mention gifts. I’m just doing my job.”

“Me too.”

“Mr. Destiny isn’t a hotel employee, is he?”

“I’m an employee of Mega Asset Management.”

Choi Da-eun didn’t understand what he was saying.

Tomorrow we will know his deeper meaning.

* * *

As soon as morning came, Nam Woon-myung went to work at the Hwayoung Hotel.

I got a call from my attendant early in the morning.

[He said he would like to meet. However, he said he cannot meet for a long time due to lack of time, and that he would make time for a short time during breakfast.]

Because the schedule was already packed and there was no time for Ashur, the only time he could spare was breakfast.

But where is that? It’s a chance to meet Ashur in person.

Next to Nam Woon-myung is Yoon Se-bin. She is also dressed in a classy suit as she is on her way to meet Ashur.

She asked with a worried face.

“Can I really go with you?”

“What’s not allowed? I said I had permission.”

“I don’t think that will work though.”

“What, the world’s richest man is also human?”

Yoon Se-bin shook her head in amazement at his bold actions.

Nam Yunming understood her feelings.

He had similar thoughts in the past. He felt that the chaebols were not ordinary people and that it would be very difficult to meet them. At one time, Yoon Se-bin was that kind of person to him.

But looking back, it was all the same.

He was a chaebol and now he and she meet like ordinary people. Ashur is also someone who is in a place where the end is not visible, but if they become close, won’t they become similar people?

“But isn’t he a great person?”

“That’s true. At one time, Representative Yoon was also a great person to me.”

“Really?”

It’s an expression I somehow like.

“Not now, but…….”

Yoon Se-bin’s expression suddenly distorted.

Ashur’s attendants approached them.

“Please wait at the restaurant.”

I followed the attendant into the hall where the meal was served.

Choi Da-eun, who was waiting at the entrance, greeted them warmly. Of course, Choi Da-eun is also the main character of today’s meeting.

After a while, Ashur appeared with Fani.

“Okay, sit down.”

Nam Woon-myung sat across from Ashur along with Yoon Se-bin and Choi Da-eun.

The only people eating breakfast here were Ashur, Fani, and Namunmyeong and their group.

The table was lined with simple dishes, including bread. There was a variety of dishes, including labneh, hummus, falafel, manakish, and shawarma, served with various vegetables, and for dessert, shai, kahu, and laguay.

I thought he would eat a special breakfast because he was rich, but he was surprisingly frugal.

Of course, Nam Yunming was taken aback by the Arab food he saw for the first time, but he had no difficulty eating it.

As I was eating diligently, Ashur spoke to me.

“You said you wanted to meet me?”

“Isn’t that the person everyone wants to meet?”

Nam Yun-myeong asked lightly.

Ashur looked at him carefully and asked again.

“Is this one meeting more important than the gift you want?”

“You can buy a gift with money, but this kind of encounter becomes a memory that lasts a lifetime.”

Ashur let out a subtle laugh.

“Haha, okay. I’m a busy person, so if you have something to say, say it.”

Unlike Nam Woon-myeong, Yoon Se-bin kept her mouth shut. On the other hand, Choi Da-eun was already playing hard with Fani, who was sitting next to her.

“Have you ever investigated me?”

“Isn’t research the basics? I don’t meet just anyone. Whether in Arab or here, there are many people who are after me all over the world. Those two people… are from an asset management company.”

It’s easier to talk now that we know his and Yoon Se-bin’s identities.

“Then let me tell you something. There must be many reasons why you visited Korea this time… Is the issue of the national defense system one of them?”

Ashur pondered the unexpected topic for a moment before answering.

“As you know, the Middle East is a place where war never ceases. Our country faces Iran and Iraq right across the sea, and there are many Yemeni rebels nearby. Since the ultimate way to protect our country is through self-defense, we have constantly imported expensive weapons from foreign countries.”

As Assur said, the UAE has shown a keen interest in military weapons.

The International Defense Exhibition (IDEX) held in Abu Dhabi is the largest defense exhibition in the Middle East, with over 900 defense companies from 50 countries participating.

This is a country that is constantly striving to import the best weapons through such events.

“I know. But you can’t just import military weapons just because you have money, right?”

The world’s largest arms exporter is the United States. However, there is a major obstacle to importing advanced weapons from the United States. This is the international situation. In particular, Saudi Arabia and the UAE, which depend on the United States due to the threats from Iran and Iraq, are staking their national fate on American weapons.

“So what is your opinion?”

“I heard that the UAE is considering importing next-generation fighter jets. Let’s get away from the US.”

“Isn’t that impossible?”

“Just because we have used American weapons up until now, there is no law that says we have to continue to use them in the future. Of course, I also know that weapons systems are important for linking with existing weapons, so we cannot arbitrarily change our import sources. However, if we continue to depend on one country, it can be toxic.”

“Ahem.”

“Israel is importing the latest American fighter jet, the F35. But the US is hesitant to sell the F35 to the UAE. Would you use a weapon that is not even on the same level as a potential enemy, but one level lower?”

Ashur asked, shocked by the sharp analysis.

“So what kind of product should I buy? I thought Korea doesn’t export fighter jets?”
