Chapter 1518

As the next richest man in the world recognized by the capital circle, Li Mu's activity in the capital circle has always been the lowest one.

Up to now, there are only three rounds of financing, even the first two rounds are invested by friends and acquaintances. Only the latest third round of financing takes the money from the capital circle. Such a big man is a god like existence in the eyes of the capital circle.

Li Mu was not interested in the party to be held in the UK, but Steve Johnson's point of view touched him. Apart from capital cooperation, it is necessary for Li Mu to contact the world's top social circles and learn about the daily social contact between the new rich like himself and the old moeny who has been rich for decades. If this is a top As a top player club, it is necessary to integrate itself into this club.

This is like the hierarchical division of the rich in China. Chen Ze once told him that there are many "clubs" among the rich in China. Some of them appear in the form of clubs, some in the form of chambers of Commerce and trade unions. However, even so, the hierarchical division and boundary division between each club are very strict.

For example, if it's a $100 million worth club, it must be that people with a value of $100 million can get in, and can be accepted by others after they get in. People who can't reach the standard, even the hard guys can't get in at all.

However, in the 100 million yuan worth club, there is also a ceiling, which is not set by itself, but by a higher level club.

There are 100 million yuan clubs, there are also one billion clubs, people with a value of more than one billion will certainly go to the 100 million club to hang out, so for the 100 million club, it can carry the highest value, not more than one billion yuan.

In addition to the clubs with value as the standard, there are also clubs with region as the standard, such as Zhejiang chamber of Commerce, Beijing Chamber of Commerce and Shanghai Chamber of Commerce. Such clubs are also only open to those who meet its requirements.

In the world capital circle, such a hierarchical division also exists, and the level requirements are stricter than that of domestic clubs. For example, the party that Steve Johnson invited Li Mu to participate in is the top "club" in the international capital circle, which is only open to individuals with a value of more than five billion dollars, heads of enterprises and royal families in developed countries.

Therefore, Li Mu also wants to see what the social circle of these people is like in normal times.

As the only one of the world's top millionaires who does not have a private plane yet, Li Mu still uses the way of charter flight this time. Air China's corporate aircraft leasing and operation company provides Li Mu with a new Bombardier bd-700 global express, which can realize direct flight from Yanjing to London without stopping.

This aircraft is the most luxurious business aircraft under the hands of Air China. The internal space of the aircraft is very large. Originally, it could carry 19 people comfortably, but after the transformation, it can only carry 10 people. More space is independent and decorated into a luxurious air bedroom.

At the time of departure, it was the team of Muye technology that picked up Li Mu from Ziyun mountain villa and went straight to the airport. Li Ziwei had packed up her luggage and followed the team to pick up Li Mu in advance.

The tentative departure time of the plane is 12:30 at noon. Li Mu gets on the business car of the team and is ready to go to the airport at 10:00 in the morning.

As soon as the team left Ziyun villa, Li Ziwei said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, in the morning, Mr. Lin called me and asked about your trip to England today."

Li Mu asked her, "what's the matter with Qingya?"

Li Ziwei shook her head and said with a smile: "Lin always wants me to convey a request from her and other senior management of the company to you."

"Request?" Li Mu said with a smile, "what's the request? It's so mysterious. "

Li Ziwei smiled and said: "the senior management of the company felt that, with the development of Muye technology, it's time for the company to consider buying a business jet."

"Business jet?" Li Mu frowned and said, "isn't it good to rent? Spend money when you use it, and don't spend a cent when you don't use it. When you buy a business plane, you have to burn money in every minute, maintain it, have a special hangar, have a special crew and locomotive. You can't fly many times a year, and most of the time is wasted. "

Li Ziwei said: "the senior management of the company privately discussed that, after all, the business jet is one of the company's facades. Now many large groups have their own business jet, and many top rich people have their own private jet. Every time you travel, you represent Muye technology, which has a very high exposure. There should be a Muye technology or your own jet 。”

Said Li Ziwei: "besides, Google will have an IPO at the end of this year, Baidu will have an IPO next year, and even we will prepare for an IPO next year, so you should go to the United States a lot in the future. For your safety and convenience, it is necessary to have a business jet."

Li Mu nodded slightly, and Li Ziwei said this is also very reasonable. In the future, with the accelerated development of overseas business and the launch of IPO, he should often fly around the world. Now, every time he travels, he makes an appointment with the business jet company in advance, but it is inevitable that there is also a temporary trip. Because of the sudden demand, this trip sometimes occurs An awkward situation in which no plane is worth flying.Moreover, charter is a short-term leasing behavior after all, so each aircraft model will be different, and each crew member will be different. It's a rather embarrassing thing to encounter a strange crew every time, and all of their habits are not clear to each other, so we need to communicate again. If we fix a crew, it will be a lot easier.

As for the price of business jet, at this stage, the price of small and medium-sized business jet is generally 30 million US dollars, which is not a big expense for Makino technology.

However, according to Li Mu's understanding, the purchase of business aircraft is very tedious. Generally, orders and deposits should be placed in advance, and then the manufacturer schedules production according to the orders. The time cycle is one year for a short period, and two or three years for a long period. Even if orders are placed now, it's unknown how long it will be before the aircraft is actually delivered.

After thinking about it, Li Mu said: "you can first understand the market situation, choose a long endurance, so that in the future, cross-border flights can save the stopover time, and if you want to buy it, you can find a way to buy it earlier. It's better to cut off an order that is about to be delivered, or you can easily buy it for two or three years. When the plane is delivered, we have already been on the market."

Li Ziwei nodded and said, "OK, I'll talk to Mr. Lin about these questions."

Then Li Ziwei said, "by the way, Mr. Li, Miss Anne's assistant just called me. They came to Yanjing last night and lived in Hilton next to the airport. When we get to the airport, they will meet us in the business aircraft building."

……

Half an hour later, Li Mu met Anne Hathaway in the business plane building.

Today, Anne Hathaway is wearing a black dress with a pair of silver high heels. She looks simple and dignified.

In contrast, Li Mu's dress is much more casual. The top is a gap basic T-shirt, and the bottom half is an Adidas black sports shorts.

The reason why Li Mu dressed so casually was mainly because he wanted to take a long-distance flight, so he purposely dressed comfortably, but the price of comfort was that he didn't appear to be a gentleman enough in front of the ladies.

However, Anne Hathaway didn't seem to care at all. After hugging and kissing Li Mu, she happily said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, thank you for letting me take your plane to London."

Li Mu said with a smile, "don't be so polite. We are all friends."

With that, Li Mu asked her, "has the drama group come to an end recently?"

"Yes." Anne Hathaway said with a smile, "the next stage is focused on Leonardo and Dewey, and I have Tom for a half month."

Li Mu asked her, "where is Mr Hanks?"

Anne Hathaway said, "he transferred from Shanghai to the United States yesterday."

Li Mu nodded and asked her, "what are you going to do when the party in London is over?"

Anne Hathaway smiled sweetly and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. Maybe I will go back to America for a few days, or I will go back to China directly."

Li Mu said, "if we go back to China directly, we can still go together."

Anne Hathaway nodded excitedly and said with a smile, "that's great. Thank you, Mr. Li."

Taking a business plane is not as troublesome as taking an ordinary flight. After the security check in the business plane building, several people will rest in the VIP room. Taking advantage of the rest time of several people, the staff has delivered the luggage to the plane in advance.

Half an hour before take-off, a Toyota Costa of the airline sent seven of Li Mu and his party to the hangar. The crew was waiting outside the cabin.

After greeting the crew members, they boarded the plane one after another. As soon as they got on the plane, the crew members began to introduce the internal facilities of the plane. In addition to the first-class seats for each person, as well as the hardware such as the bar, small conference table and washroom, the crew members mainly introduced the luxurious bedroom on the plane.

There are more than ten square bedrooms on the plane, which have standard size double beds, sofas, TVs and independent bathrooms.

After listening to the flight attendant's introduction, Li Mu said to Anne Hathaway, "Miss Anne, this bedroom is for you to rest in the evening."

When Anne Hathaway heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand and refused: "how can we do this, Mr. Li? We'd better rest outside. The bedroom is for you."

Li Mu smiled and said quietly, "of course, ladies are the first. How can I go to the bedroom by myself if you are here?"

Anne Hathaway has no interest in sleeping in her bedroom. She looks at Li Mu and smiles, "let Miss Li go to sleep. We can chat outside and have a rest. If someone talks, the time will pass quickly!"
