Chapter 77

๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ๐Ÿคฉ

Upon arrival at Abu Dhabi International Airport, a welcome ceremony was held.

If anyone sees it, it looks like a state guest has visited.

Even more disconcerting was the appearance of Prince Mohammed, who was unsuitably holding a bouquet of flowers in his hand.

[Welcome to visit.][long time no see.]

After a short greeting, we got into the car.

After a while, we headed to the Burj Al Arab Hotel with a dry wind.

Opened just a year ago, it was at the time the world’s first and only seven-star hotel.

[Here…]

When I first saw the shape of the hotel in the shape of a sail, I thought of no luck.

No matter how hospitable they promised, I wonder if that’s where we’ll be staying.

However, the vehicle eventually entered the hotel, and after that, we were guided into the lobby by the UAE government officials who were waiting.

โ€œIt’s not a 7 star hotel for nothing.โ€

The interior of the hotel was at its peak of splendor.

A modern design method that even I, who returned from 2025, cannot easily adapt.

Just as I was wondering where I should put my eyes, Prince Mohammed uttered another startling remark.

[For safety, the entire floor of the special room is empty, so your party won’t be too uncomfortable. Now, let’s undress first and see you again in about an hour.][ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท.]

We followed the guide with blank faces.

Words are special.

As soon as they saw the size of the room, which was spacious enough to be called a playground, everyone in the party exclaimed, especially in the case of Secretary Kim, who was ecstatic and looked as if he had come to heaven.

โ€œMoney is good.โ€

eating.

He let out a smirk at those words and unpacked it.

I did not like the state of the wrinkled suit from a long flight.

Secretary Kim, who is quick-witted, immediately leaves the seat.

โ€œCome down when you are ready, Chairman.โ€

While enjoying the scenery outside the window for a long time, I heard Secretary Kim’s urging.

The moment he suddenly regained his consciousness and was about to turn around, a group of people suddenly caught his eye, coming towards the hotel, escorted by the police from the other side of the window.

“Who is it?”

I watched with a curious mind, but it was unreasonable to find out.

Due to the structure of the hotel, it was out of sight as soon as I entered the entrance.

Belatedly, I was about to turn around with the thought of what it had to do with me, when I heard the urgent voice of Secretary Kim from outside.

“President! Did you know that Crown Prince Hasad of Saudi Arabia arrived at the hotel a little while ago?โ€

“who?”

Embarrassed, I immediately left the room.

What I could see was a person from the UAE government standing with Secretary Kim.

Panting as to whether he had rushed to deliver the news, he delivered the news to me in poor English.

[The Crown Prince Hasad is waiting for Chairman Jin in the lobby with Prince Mohammed.][ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท.]

This was an unexpected situation.

No, why is the Saudi Crown Prince suddenly here?

No matter how close they are to each other, it’s not like they’re drinking from the neighboring town…

******

[Five! It’s a new feeling to see Chairman Jin here again.]

In the lobby we arrived, Hassard was really there.

At first glance, Prince Mohammed’s expression didn’t look too bad.

For a moment, I thought that maybe there was an error in my memory, and my head went blank for a moment.

โ€˜I knew Saudi Arabia and the UAE were close and distant neighbors.โ€™

Although they were formed as an alliance, it is the relationship between the two countries that sometimes caused conflicts over territorial issues.

However, I do not understand Hasad’s attitude as if he was walking in and out of the front yard of his house, and I do not understand Prince Mohammed’s intentions to accept it casually.

[Haha, you must have been very surprised. I understand. I, who will soon meet in two days, suddenly came all the way here.]

At that, he glanced at Prince Mohammed again.

His expression still showed no sign of embarrassment.

It seems that there was a prior agreement between the two of them.

[Actually, a few days ago, Crown Prince Hasad here asked for your understanding. Rather than make Chairman Jin go through the trouble of visiting Saudi Arabia, why not come to the UAE himself? I agreed because there was no reason to be inconvenient.]

Mohammed made eye contact and explained the situation to me.

What flashed through my mind for a moment was Hasad’s cleverness.

He thought that he might be taking steps to protect the pie he would take as much as possible.

In other words, he was afraid that the UAE would invest more than he did.

[Thank you for caring so much about me.]

What was surprising was the UAE’s response.

There is no way that Mohammed would have been unaware of Hasad’s thoughts when even I noticed it right away.

Nevertheless, it is a little surprising that he was willing to allow Hasad’s visit.

โ€˜Well, thatโ€™s not to say that the neighbors who are facing the frontier are bluntly rejecting them.โ€™

[Come on, let’s eat first and chat.]

We followed Mohammed’s instructions and headed straight for the restaurant.

As soon as I had filled my stomach to some extent and the teacup was on the table, Hassad was alluding to my luck.

[I did a little research on my own, but this time, the research institute that Chairman Jin absorbed under Jaewoo Holdings has enormous material patents.]

It was expected that the institute would be mentioned.

By the way, it is fundamental for investors to research investment targets.

As he quietly raised the glass of juice, Hassad spoke again.

[Actually, it will be hard to find an analogy in the world for a research institute that earns more than billions of dollars by providing technology alone. No, apart from money, with that much patent holdings, there are not many companies that would avoid Jaewoo in the material sector. I can only admire Chairman Jin’s foresight.][You are exaggerating.][I was not exaggerating, I was just stating the truth. So, to be honest, I have already confirmed my investment in Jaewoo Group.]

It was a pretty straightforward statement.

And it was a word that could be offensive to Mohammed.

In the end, he, too, has expressed his intentions to invest in Jae-woo before, but who would feel good if he left him alone and talked about investment?

โ€˜ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท.

However, Mohammed’s face was still calm when their eyes met.

The moment that flashed through my mind, I wondered if there was some kind of pre-conversation between the two of them.

โ€˜Look at this?โ€™

Unsurprisingly, I thought that their eyes would soon pass between the two, but Hasad spit out a hint.

[Actually, the two of us have already agreed to some extent in advance. ][whichยทยทยทยทยทยท.][The two countries are going to invest in exactly the same ratio. Without the need to create a situation that would make anyone sad.]

It was then that the situation became clear.

In a word, that’s it.

Anyway, if both countries have decided to invest in Jaewoo, let’s do it fairly without creating a situation that will make anyone sad.

In fact, it was also the best way for them not to blush with each other, and it can relieve the burden on me as well.

In other words, the two of you have already worked out what I need to do.

[There is no reason for me to object.][Thank you for your understanding. Now, let’s talk about the size of the investment. By the way, we do not interfere with Chairman Jin’s management rights. And he promises to be a sure ally and is willing to secure as many shares as possible.]

Hassad asked with a bright eye.

Feeling like I was going out of line with my fundamental purpose, I immediately corrected their thoughts.

[I’m sorry to say this, but I can’t hand over 10% of each to both of you.][ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท.]

The two of them showed disappointment at those words, no matter who came first.

Why not?

Anyway, I have almost a monopoly on the holdings, so it doesn’t matter if I give more than that.

[No, why just…]

But that’s a reaction that comes from not knowing my fundamental purpose.

And now it’s my turn to explain it.

Whoops.

I handed the papers to those who still had their eyes closed.

A detailed plan for what kind of future Jae-woo will draw beyond the military field is recorded in the future.

Among them, an explanation of the energy field using all-solid-state batteries was included, and as expected, the two of them glanced at me in that area.

[What is this… Jaewoo is currently researching a field that will shrink the oil industry? Do you want us to invest in that yard?]

Crown Prince Hasad was the first to respond.

He is also a quick-witted person.

He immediately added to him.

[Yes, it is true that the oil industry will shrink to some extent if that becomes a reality. However, let me state in advance that it is not as dangerous as you might think. Naturally, oil is not just used in the energy sector.][Even so, it is not true that the pie decreases. Is this just a story about shortening our names ourselves?][It is not shortening the name, but preparing for the future.][ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท.]

In an instant, the eyes of both of them fluttered at the same time.

[Preparing for the future?][That’s right. In the meantime, if you enjoyed a movie based on oil, now you should invest in future food and continue that movie. Surely you two don’t think that the oil industry will feed the two countries forever, right?](Read more @ wuxiax.com)

The two looked at each other at those words.

I realized that I wasn’t really wrong.

In particular, in the case of the UAE, it would have been rather tempting advice as it is developing Dubai to prepare for the era of contraction in the oil industry.



[Hmmยทยทยทยทยทยท.]

As expected, Mohammed quickly showed interest.

However, Hassad seems to still lack understanding of the situation and is twisting his forehead.

[Then, shouldn’t we have to secure even a little more stake in Jaewoo?]

After a long silence, Mohammed spoke again.

what’s not wrong

The bigger the investment, the bigger the return, and the bigger the return, the more confident you are in preparation for the future.

However, I did not give advice to them with the intention of betting the future only on Jaewoo.

We just want to start that road with Jaewoo.

[Sorry, but that should be enough.][ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท.][Jaewoo’s future value cannot be compared to what it is now, but 10% is honestly a lot. And it should be noted that I do not want to receive an investment because I do not have enough money right now.][What is that again? If money is not the purpose, why do you want to receive an alternative investment?]

Hassad, who was listening, intervened with the tone that he did not understand.

On the other hand, Prince Mohammed has a very serious expression on his face.

Soon words came out of his mouth that clearly pierced my intentions.

[Now I know.]

At Mohammed’s sudden spit, Hasad’s gaze returned.

As soon as his head is about to tilt, Mohammed speaks again.

[Simply put, Chairman Jin wants to establish an alliance with us now.][Establish an alliance?]

Hasad asked with a look on his face, asking if that was a nonsensical statement.

A short sigh escapes Mohammed’s mouth.

[By the way, we are not the only ones who suffer if Jae-Woo turns the tables in the energy storage field. Especially in the case of Jewish powers, the damage is greater than ours. All the major refiners around the world are in their hands.][ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท.][So, by forming an alliance with us through investment, we are going to protect Jaewoo from them.][ยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยทยท.]
