Chapter 1519

Ten hours of flying is long, but not hard.

The seats of the business plane are very comfortable. Even Li Mu, who is more than one meter eight in height, can lie on his back comfortably.

As for the independent bedroom in the back, Li Mu wants to give it to Anne Hathaway, but the latter refuses to accept it. Li Mu gives it to Li Ziwei, and Li Ziwei says nothing.

If it's just Li Ziwei on the plane, Li Mu can go to the bedroom to have a rest. But Anne Hathaway is also there. She needs to be more or less gentlemanly, so she just accompanies her to chat with other people outside, which is relaxing and pleasant.

The plane is expected to arrive in London at 4:30 p.m. local time. Half an hour before the plane landed, Li Mu changed his standard farm dress and a customized dark blue suit.

The plane landed at Heathrow airport and taxied all the way to the designated hangar under the guidance of the tower.

Steve Johnson, who successfully invited Li Mu and Anne Hathaway, has been waiting in the garage for a long time.

He was waiting in the hangar with several middle-aged men in full suits.

When the plane slowly slid into the hangar, Li Mu had seen Steve Johnson dressed as a gentleman outside the cabin. When the plane stopped and the hatch was lowered into an escalator less than one meter high, these people came to the front one after another, stood under the escalator and lined up left and right, waiting for Li Mu who was still on the plane.

Li Mu, dressed in formal clothes, was the first to get off the plane. Steve Johnson looked up at him and smiled like an old friend. When Li Mu was standing on the ground, he immediately shook hands with Li Mu and said with a smile, "Li, welcome to London!"

Li Mu smiled: "thank you. I didn't expect you to come here in person."

"It's my pleasure." Steve Johnson smiled and asked Li Mu, "is Mr. Li in London for the first time?"

Li Mu said with a smile, "I came to England for the first time."

Steve Johnson said in surprise, "I thought you had been here before. If you have enough time this time, I can accompany you around."

Li Mu said lightly, "thank you Steve. Let's see the actual situation."

Steve Johnson nodded, and then introduced some people around him to Li Mu. He first introduced a middle-aged man next to him, saying: "Mr. Li, this is the chief executive of hsbc-holdings, mark Bronte."

Li Mu looks at a middle-aged man about forty years old in front of him. He is slightly surprised. Since Steve Johnson mentioned HSBC last time, Li Mu has studied a little bit of information about HSBC. This HSBC-HOLDINGS, namely HSBC holdings, is the parent company of the bank and one of the world's top five hundred enterprises. The latest ranking has also entered the world's five Top 100.

As the CEO of HSBC Holdings, the status of mark Bronte is high, needless to say, he went to the airport with Steve Johnson to meet himself, it seems that he really regarded himself as a VIP.

However, Li Mu also knows that the biggest reason why the other side attaches so much importance to himself is that he wants to be the leader of Makino technology's listing on NASDAQ.

Li Mu shook hands with mark Bronte very politely and said with a smile, "nice to meet you, Mr. Bronte."

Mark Bronte took off his hat with one hand and said politely, "Mr. Li, it's my pleasure to meet you. Welcome to London."

Steve Johnson introduced the remaining people to Li Mu. Among them, one is the head of Sequoia Capital in the UK, one is the executive of HSBC Holdings, and the other, according to Steve Johnson, is a member of an old aristocratic family in the UK. The aristocratic member is Jimmy Cooper, whose English is Goldberg, which feels like a Jewish surname 。

Later, Steve Johnson introduced Anne Hathaway who got off the plane after Li Mu. Li Mu also introduced her personal assistant, Li Ziwei.

After a friendly talk, Steve Johnson took Li Mu and his party to the VIP Building of Heathrow Airport in a team of rolls Royces. According to him, there is a special customs building in the VIP Building, which is much more convenient to pass the customs here, and can guarantee privacy to a great extent. Basically, it's just a passage. You can pass the Customs by stamping your passport.

The team is made up of eight lesles. When assigning cars, Steve Johnson asked Li Mu tentatively, "President Li, if you have no opinion, shall we take one car? There's something I need to talk to you face to face. "

Li Mu nodded, "no problem."

Then they sat in the same car.

It's a few kilometers from the hangar to the VIP Building, and on the internal road of the airport, the speed of the car is relatively slow. On the road, Steve Johnson said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, the scale of this party is larger than expected, so we temporarily changed from a manor in the north of London to another manor in the south of London. The room for you and your staff has been It's all arranged. Besides, the owners of these two manors are all owned by the Goldberg family. They are also the hosts of this party. "Li Mu nodded softly and asked him, "can you give us a general introduction to the Goldberg family?"

Steve Johnson said with a smile: "Goldberg is a typical old money. They were very rich in the first World War. Before the Second World War, they moved the whole family from Germany to England, and then they have been rooted in England. In the Second World War, the Goldberg family donated a lot of money to Britain in order to support the British resistance. The royal family at that time gave the Goldbergs a lot of money to thank them The family is a hereditary earl, but at the end of the last century, the British royal family announced the abolition of the Duke's hereditary, so their family is the last generation of earls

As he said, Steve Johnson added: "Goldberg has been engaged in many fields, such as banking, finance, oil and industrial manufacturing. In recent years, he has gradually shifted his focus to finance. Many well-known financial companies have their seats on the board of directors, including HSBC Holdings. They also hold shares through multiple shell companies and individuals, even HSBC Black rock, the largest shareholder in the United States, also holds a certain share. "

Li Muruo nodded thoughtfully and said, "a Jewish family like the Rothschilds?"

Steve Johnson laughs: "their family assets are much bigger than the Rothschild family, but they are much worse than you."

Li Mu has always been involved in the Internet circle, even in the capital circle, so he lacks in-depth understanding of the international capital market. He focuses on the domestic and American markets, and lacks understanding of the whole Europe. Therefore, in his cognition, the most powerful family in Europe seems to be the Rothschild family that was passed on in his last life, but listen to Steve ·Johnson said that, as if the Rothschilds were not as powerful as they thought, and even vaguely listened, with a little smell of waste wood.

At this time, Steve Johnson saw Li Mu's incomprehension on his face and said with a smile: "there are many misunderstandings about the Rothschild family. This family has a long history and used to be very powerful. However, since the 20th century, this old big family has been on the decline. Many critical node misjudgments have made this family a long time ago The only thing they can do now is a little banking business. To be honest, the whole family is now divided. But even so, the total assets of the Goldberg family are less than ten billion dollars. But the total assets of the Goldberg family are about 50 billion dollars, several times that of the Rothschild family. "

Then Steve Johnson added, "Oh, by the way, Mr. Li, the Rothschilds, are not even invited to this party."

Li Mu was surprised. It seems that many so-called anecdotes are untrustworthy. The Chinese say that the Rothschild family controls trillion US dollars. However, in the capital family of British origin, the Rothschild family has declined out of the line-up of front-line players.

However, it is obvious that what Steve Johnson said is more credible than the so-called experts who blindly write financial books in China.

Steve Johnson added: "this time, there are not only representatives from many top families in various countries, but also many members of the royal family. The important European royal families have basically sent representatives. Even the Dubai royal family has several princes."

Li Mu asked curiously, "Prince of Dubai? Then their performance must be very big, right? "

"More than big." Steve Johnson kneaded his temple helplessly, saying: "they had a group of more than 100 people, most of them were security personnel, servants and staff. The special plane was not one, but a team of five. Among them, three transport planes were specially used to transport the personal belongings of several princes, including more than ten luxury cars of all kinds, and a large number of strange animals. Recently, the British media made a lot of reports It is also ironic, which makes people very dissatisfied with it. They think that their extravagant atmosphere will have a great impact on the UK, and at the same time, it will bring a huge grab on the public resources of the UK. "

Li Mu suddenly thought of some news he had seen in his last life. The battle of Prince Dubai's travel was really amazing, especially the luxury car. Every time he went out, he would take his garage with him, including all kinds of rolls Royces and all kinds of super running, including the top super running such as Bugatti, Ferrari and Lamborghini. It seems that this is also the royal family of Dubai The routine is standard.

Speaking of this, Steve Johnson sighed and said: "I don't know why these oil princes are fond of the UK, the British food is not delicious, the environment and natural scenery are not as good as other European countries, but they come to the UK every year without hesitation."

Li Mu said with a smile, "the environment and natural scenery of Britain are always much stronger than the desert in the Middle East, even if they can't compare with those of northern Europe. I heard that the temperature in the Middle East is over 38 ℃ for 300 days a year, and it can still reach 50 ℃ if you can move. If you live in such a place for a long time, you will feel that everything is good except your home."

Steve Johnson agreed: "Mr. Li is right. In the Middle East, it's a luxury to want to ride horses. These royal horses are usually raised in Dubai and run in England."Li Mu smiled and asked him, "by the way, are there people from other Internet industries at this party?"

"Yes, of course." Steve Johnson smiled and said, "Bill Gates."

Li Mu asked curiously, "just him?"

Steve Johnson nodded and said, "just him."
