◈ Episode 217 Saudi Arabia and UAE (2)
“Ms. Yoon Se-bin? How about marrying me?”
“yes?”
Yoon Se-bin couldn’t hide his embarrassed expression.
On the one hand, I realized that what I had been worried about had become a reality.
When I first met her in Korea, I had a strange intuition. I tried to forget that it couldn’t be true, but the thought that had been secretly pressuring her all this time revealed its true form.
As expected, a woman’s intuition cannot be ignored.
“I’m sorry for proposing so suddenly.”
“You have two wives, right?”
“Your third wife. Both of your wives agreed that you were good. They said you had a good appearance and personality.”
Yoon Se-bin was at a loss as to how to react.
“If you accept my proposal, everything I have now can be yours. You can enjoy the wealth and power that is the world’s greatest. Also, at least for you, I will not restrict your external activities. You can continue doing everything you are doing now… and if you wish, you can even take on the task of investing the huge funds of the Abu Dhabi Investment Authority. Isn’t this the life you wanted?”
Ashur has brought to reality the incredible things she could not even dare to imagine, a fortune that only a very few in the world can obtain.
“A dozen camels as a wedding gift……”
Then Ashur listed a long list of items.
Yoon Se-bin swallowed a laugh inside, not knowing if that was a common gift here.
This seems a bit too far, but I don’t know how to refuse.
On the one hand, he didn’t want to blow his dream like this. It was so unfortunate that her dream and marriage were connected.
Regardless of whether she liked Ashur or not, she wasn’t ready yet.
Yoon Se-bin, who had barely regained consciousness, asked.
“Is Credit Suisse’s investment approval linked to the marriage proposal approval?”
“No, I don’t. If you want, I’ll invest in Credit Suisse. I trust you.”
Ashur did not erase his gentle smile.
It was a somewhat reassuring answer, but Yoon Se-bin couldn’t easily believe it.
The moment you reject a marriage proposal, you won’t be able to leave this house. Or you won’t be able to leave the country because you’ll be banned from leaving. The people in power in the Arab world are scary.
As I was barely able to control my expression in my confused mind, Ashur spoke.
“Please stay here today. You can answer slowly.”
Are you locked up?
Yoon Se-bin sighed.
Jo Ha-neul, sensing her instability, comforted her from the side.

The next day, Nam Yun-myeong visited the Saudi National Bank conference room again.
This time, I went with Bae Joo-hyun again.
Yesterday he asked to meet, but today it was McClain who contacted me to meet.
I am positive about this for now, because if they were going to reject me, they wouldn’t have asked to meet me. However, I don’t think they will make an investment decision easily.
Yesterday, the opponent was just Mackline, but today there were three of them, including him.
Judging by his Islamic attire and appearance, he was assumed to be a high-ranking Saudi official.
“This is Nam Un-myeong of Mega Asset Management.”
Nam Yun-myeong introduced himself and handed over his business card.
The man on the left examined the business card as if examining it, while the man in the middle glanced at it and put it down. On the right, McClain was looking at him silently with an expression of astonishment.
After a long silence, the person on the left introduced himself.
“I am the governor of the National Bank of Saudi Arabia.”
The head of the Hanara Bank has appeared.
So who is this man sitting in the middle? The man in the middle just stared at him silently without even introducing himself. He had an air of intimidation about him that was overwhelming to everyone.
While Nam Woon-myung was racking his brain, examining the faces of the two new faces, the bank president asked him a question.
“I have received your message well. However, our domestic situation is not so favorable. Public opinion is already boiling over that we should be held accountable for wrong investments. Since this has been reported in detail in the media, I believe you are well aware of it even without me explaining it.”
“I see.”
“So… is there a reason why you came all the way here in such a hurry when it would be logical to assume we wouldn’t invest? Or is there something you couldn’t explain yesterday or something that has changed since then?”
“doesn’t exist.”
“You mean you have nothing special to say?”
The president’s question was sharp once again.
There is an atmosphere that this is the end. Naturally, if it ends here, the investment will go down the drain.
So why did they schedule this consultation today? And who is the person in the middle?
A decisive blow was needed. Repeating the investment rationality or Mega’s performance that I mentioned yesterday will not affect the trend.
Nam Woon-myung, who was looking over the three people, got a feeling of who the man in the middle was.
The world’s richest man, comparable to UAE’s Assur, the real power behind the Saudi royal family and an investor who holds the Saudi National Bank and Saudi Arabia’s sovereign wealth fund! That’s him.
then…….
“Let me tell you just one thing.”
“Let’s do it.”
“I understand the plight of the Saudi National Bank. So, if the Saudi National Bank refuses, there is nothing we can do. However, we are currently negotiating with the UAE National Bank. If the Saudi National Bank refuses and the UAE National Bank invests, and Credit Suisse recovers as a result, you have to think about what will happen.”
Nam Yun-myeong noticed that the expressions on the faces of the three people had changed drastically.
Since ancient times, there has never been a friendly country among countries that share a border. Korea and Japan are like that, as are Germany and France. The same goes for England and France.
It is a country that is friendly yet competitive, and a country that is psychologically close yet distant.
Saudi Arabia and the UAE are no different. Saudi Arabia’s impatience has intensified, especially with the recent rise of Dubai in the UAE. Isn’t Saudi Arabia the traditional Arab powerhouse? The development of Neom City and Oxagon Floating City is proof of this.
Here, Ashur and the middle man are rivals. Even if they say no, the world’s leading media compares the two. How will that pride work?
The UAE is not burdened with investment because Saudi Arabia failed to invest. Therefore, the success of UAE investment is like a slap in the face to Saudi Arabia.
Because of the risks and the burden, Saudi Arabia will not be able to easily give up this investment proposal.
Nam Woon-myung, who had confirmed their reactions, added a word.
“Mega Asset Management has never failed.”
“Ugh!”
The President groaned and glared at him. His gaze was not friendly, but more of a hostile gaze, as if he were looking for prey. But… … .

“Mega Asset Management is receiving investment from the Singapore sovereign wealth fund and the UAE sovereign wealth fund, right?”
“Yes.”
The president’s sighs became more intense.
This answer led me to speculate that the UAE has great investment potential.
What if Yoon Se-bin fails to persuade Ashur? Of course, that’s something that will happen later, so I don’t have time to worry about that right now.
Now, where will their choices lead?
While quietly watching Nam Woon-myung’s confident attitude as he watched the other person without any disturbance, the man suddenly got up from his seat.
The two people next to me were so surprised that they got up too.
The man in the middle spoke to the president.
“Execute.”
“Yes, I understand.”
As the president had no choice but to answer, the man in the middle extended his hand to Nam Woon-myung.
“Did you say you were Nam Woon-myeong, director of Mega Asset Management?”
“Yes.”
Nam Yun-myeong also extended his hand and shook it.
The man in the middle asked with a stern expression.
“We will accept your request. Instead… what can you do for us?”
An unexpected question came in.
Nam Woon-myung said the answer he had prepared.
“Investment is taking risks and moving forward. I asked for it, but it wasn’t something I received. This is an investment. If there is a profit, it’s not mine, but Saudi Arabia that gets the amount invested. So it’s not my request, it’s Saudi Arabia’s judgment that makes the investment.”
“I see. Then say something else. Do you have anything else to offer us? Something that would be helpful to us?”
“Of course there is.”
“What?”
Something flashed through Nam Woon Myung’s mind like lightning.
“Let’s introduce UAM, or urban air traffic.”
“UAM?”
“The moment it is introduced, the whole world will be watching. We can’t afford to miss this opportunity to claim the title of world’s first, right?”
“so?”
“There are opportunities to invest in related industries, including infrastructure vertiports. This is also a part of Saudi Arabia’s future. Fortunately, Mega Asset Management is investing in excellent UAM companies.”
“Are you saying we should do it together?”
“Yes.”
The man in the middle instructed McClain to look into it seriously.
Suddenly, eVTOL was sold to Saudi Arabia.

The next day, not long after opening her eyes, Yoon Se-bin met Ashur.
While eating breakfast together, Yoon Se-bin carefully brought out the answer.
In any case, the other party is the most powerful person in this country and she needs to receive investment. She absolutely cannot go against the other party’s wishes.
“Thank you for the proposal, but… I’m not ready yet.”
“Hmm, is that so?”
Ashur nodded with an expression full of regret.
Yoon Se-bin was relieved by her attitude of understanding her situation.
“……Besides, I already have a boyfriend.”
After all, the best way to reject someone is to declare that you already have a lover.
Ashur nodded again, seeming to fully understand.
“Is that man… the one who was with you back then? Director Nam of Mega Asset Management?”
“Yes, that’s right.”
When Jo Ha-neul, who was sitting next to him, looked startled, Yoon Se-bin poked her in the side so as not to be caught.
“I see. The way the two of you looked at each other was somehow unusual. That person was really great.”
Huh? Did it really look like that? Yoon Se-bin was rather embarrassed.
Ashur retreated more easily than expected.
“I can’t help it. Okay. But I’m behind you. Please wait. If you don’t marry that man, please consider me as the next person in line.”
Although she questioned whether this was consideration for her, Yoon Se-bin was relieved that the immediate crisis was resolved well.
“I will not forget. Lord Ashur is a good person.”
Yoon Se-bin tried not to upset the other person.
When the meal was over, Ashur was the first to get up from his seat.
“I will talk to the National Bank of the UAE. They can negotiate as they wish. I would also like to ask you to advise on Abu Dhabi Investment Authority’s investments in the future. Is that okay?”
“Of course, it’s an honor.”
“Then see you next time.”
Ashur stepped back politely, like a gentleman.
Only she and Jo Ha-neul were left in the restaurant.
“Sir, are you really dating Director Nam?”
“That’s not what I meant.”
“What if I get in trouble later for lying?”
“Well, should we really date now?”
“Will you date me?”
“Huh? No way…….”
Yun Se-bin thought of Nam Un-myeong.
Suddenly, she remembered the humiliation she had heard in the hotel room. She shook her head vigorously and repeated it to herself over and over again.
The relationship between Nam Yunming and her is not a meeting between a man and a woman, but a business partnership. Nam Yunming is a great man whom she should respect and learn from.
When she meets him, her heart races. But you are too far away to get close to her. She cannot bring herself to talk about worldly love in front of him. Because he is the milestone that guides her life.
“Would it have been successful in Saudi Arabia too?”
Suddenly, I wanted to see Nam Woon-myung.
