that the proud people in the city of london would prefer to be dominated by communist china. and of course this is this did also could affect the frankfurt stock exchange itself. yes of course it would affect frankfurt not only because a large a super large new player would emerge on the market a large competitor for frankfurt and for all of the market operators on the european continent but also because a deal which the frankfurt stock exchange might try to make recently and we failed would become a possibility again i'm talking about griffin it is which is a large data provider owned by thomson reuters a while ago frankfurt tried to take over parts of refuted but this deal failed because the london stock exchange came out with a higher takeover bid for the whole of ricin a tive now with this deal hong kong land on london becoming a possibility it's become ming also probable that rif initiative would be put on the market again and that of course would be good news for frankfurt and that's assuming of course the deal goes through so our question is whether that will happen ko

what's your reaction to hong kong wanting to acquire london? >> it's a logical move that there be fewer but larger, call it transaction managers. we call them stock exchanges. hong kong, i think strategically positioned with london creates the opportunity for a 24 hour a day, 5 day a week or more marketplace. i think it's a very interesting price level. i think it's high -- maria: it's rich. >> it is high, and, you know, i wouldn't be surprised if the bid gets changed higher. because i don't think london is going to accept the first bid it gets. nor do i discount the possibility that london turns around and bids for hong kong. maria: there are fewer companies today public than there ever have been, by the way. and the private market is also heating up. give me your reaction to what's going on in the public -- >> i think what we've experienced in the last call it ten years is that companies stay private longer. why? because there's plenty of capital in the private markets. and, you know, in the private markets you're not subjected to the rigors
