“……”

Abdullah smiled: "I heard that Your Excellency has also done some such small businesses in Switzerland and Spain. ”

"It seems that Your Excellency has a soft spot for such a small business. ”

Abdullah was a well-informed man.

I have heard everything that is happening in the European region.

What's more, the news headlines during that time have actually been around some things that ordinary people don't pay much attention to.

For example, Lord Ning.

For example, Arab Khan, Maktoum and Leonor.

Moreover, when the matchmaking was made, Arab Khan specifically revealed relevant matters.

"Occasional little interest. Ning Yan replied.

“……”

Abdullah gestured: "Your Excellency, let's talk about the scope of this small business. ”

"Please understand in advance that the Qatar Investment Authority is a national enterprise of our country and never accepts external funds. ”

"And the Qatar Investment Authority is not very large. ”

Abdullah's meaning is simple.

The Qatar Investment Authority is Qatar's most important window for foreign investment, and even the chairman is the Emir.

The specific situation can be imagined.

And the meaning of his words also shows that the Qatar Investment Authority is small, and if it is only about assets, I am afraid that it may also be a small business in Ning Yan's mouth.

Although Qatar has invested a lot in the world through London.

However, the overall assets disclosed to the public did not exceed $100 billion.

Although the royal wealth of the three major Arab countries in the Middle East, including Qatar, is very impressive, in fact most of the wealth is fixed.

In addition, there are many participants.

As far as the current video call between the two sides is concerned, Abdullah's local tyrant is very limited.

Of course, Ning Yan didn't want to get involved in the Qatar Investment Authority, and his purpose was very simple.

"I'm interested in the Qatar Investment Authority's stake in the London Stock Exchange. ”

Ning Yan said unhurriedly.

"According to yesterday's closing price, it is only about one or two billion dollars. ”

"My Middle Eastern brother, you know, I'm not used to bartering, and if you're interested in such a small business, please ask me to make a price. ”

Although Abdullah was prepared.

But he was still stiffened by Ning Yan's understated attitude.

I muttered two sentences in my heart: "Your Excellency Ning is really not ordinary. ”

"A deal involving such a wide range of transactions has become a small business of one or two billion dollars with one mouth, and it is still the kind of slight. ”

“……”

"Your Excellency, this transaction is a bit big, not like you said, just one or two billion dollars on the surface. ”

Abdullah said with a smile.

After thinking about it, such a dry refusal was not good-looking, so he said again: "I heard rumors on the streets of London that Don Robt wanted to visit you and was denied. ”

"Qatar Investment Authority is indeed the largest shareholder of the London Stock Exchange, but such a thing as the Hong Kong-London merger has been heard even by me, an idle person in the Middle East......"

Therefore, in fact, the board of directors of the London Stock Exchange has already reached a certain conclusion in private. ”

After a pause, Abdullah added: "Presumably, you also know that the London Stock Exchange is publicly offering to acquire Refinitiv, and as far as I know, the Qatar Investment Authority is more inclined to this acquisition transaction." ”

“……”

Abdullah laid the whole truth before his eyes.

Both inside and outside the words, he expressed a friendly attitude to Ning Yan.

He didn't want to derive future tendencies that were inconsistent with his interests because of the completion of this small business of one or two billion dollars in Ning Yan's mouth.

Ning Yan is not surprised, the board members of the London Stock Exchange have already made a conclusion in private.

As far as he knows, the Hong Kong Stock Exchange's secret plot began last year.

It's just that it's been kept secret.

Recently, when the time is ripe, I let out the wind.

What's more, Ning Wanqiang's sudden travel is too big in the eyes of the world's top circles, and it has attracted too much attention.

Including Ning Yan's unofficial visit to London on behalf of Ning Law Firm.

Ning Yan even knew that the eyes of No. 10 Downing Street were focused on his ancient castle.

"We have a saying in China that a good meal is not afraid of being late. ”

Ning Yan changed his angle.

"Refinitiv is a company that has always had little impact sooner or later. ”

"What do you think?"

Among the offers to be submitted by the Hong Kong Stock Exchange to the London Stock Exchange is the acquisition of Refinitiv.

The HKEX said it should suspend its plans to acquire Refinitiv if the proposal is feasible.

Abdullah thought for a while: "It makes sense, a good meal is not afraid of being late." ”

"It's just that, Your Excellency, the wood is already in the boat, even if our Qatar Investment Authority is willing to release the shares of the London Stock Exchange that we hold, it really won't affect anything, especially this will have a very big impact on the future investment situation of our Qatar Investment Authority. ”

"It's really not a business that can be summed up in two billion dollars. ”

As he spoke, Abdullah spread his hands to show his powerless attitude.

Ning Yan pondered for a moment.

The thumb and index finger of the right hand and the middle finger of the finger are closed together and the fingertips are gestured.

"Your Highness, even if the Hong Kong-London merger is successful, it will be nothing more than a $70 billion plate, and it really can't be a big deal. ”

"That's it. ”

"I don't think my Middle Eastern brothers would care too much about a deal like this. ”

“……”

After a pause, Ning Yan said: "Of course, I fully agree with your views on your Middle Eastern brother, and I also agree that this may have a certain impact on the future investment situation of the Qatar Investment Authority. ”

"But. ”

"It's not that there are no solutions. ”

"For example, if the matter is already in the boat, we will let it go, always give everyone some buffer time, and always give all parties some face. ”

“……”

Ning Yan's casual tone and understatement made Abdullah forget for a moment the impact that the $70 billion merger would have on the world.

For a moment, looking at Ning Yan's face, he wanted to replace his father, the Emir of Qatar, and the chairman of the Qatar Investment Authority.

After all......

As the vice chairman of the Qatar Investment Authority and other positions, he has certain qualifications to decide.

But in the end he calmed down: "It will take a little time, and our Emir of Qatar is the one who can make the decision." ”

Ning Yan made a gesture: "It's okay. ”

"My Middle Eastern brother, I believe in your vision, and I believe in the excellence of the Emir of Qatar. ”

Tout, he'll still be able to.

“……”

Wu Wei just nodded approvingly and left without saying a word.

At around four o'clock in the afternoon London time, Yan Zhi reported that someone sent an invitation to the dinner on behalf of Arthur Philip, and every detail of the gilded invitation showed nobility, elegance and respect.

Ning Yan spread his hands: "I can't hide from it......"

Almost on the front and back, the head of the Qatar Investment Authority in London paid a low-key visit and left a few minutes later......

Broken bowls.
