Hanwha Techwin has been chosen as a preferred bidder for Doosan DST by Doosan Group and DST’s sales manager Credit Suisse was perhaps fate, destiny or meant to be.

- private equity fund : 사모펀드

- with regards to : about 대체자원으로

Doosan, meanwhile, will secure the liquidity it needs to make sure its core infrastructure business stays afloat, following its leverage buyout of Bobcat and the global slowdown in the construction industry.

- secure : 담보를 제공하다(잡히다), 타동사

- afloat : 도산은 안당하는, 빚은 안질 정도의

“The defense market is either run by a monopolistic or oligopolistic system where players can earn stable margins,” said William Park, an analyst at Daewoo Securities.

- oligopolistic : 소수에 의해 시장이 독점되는

- oligopolist : 소수 독점자
