As the next richest man in the world recognized by the capital circle, Li Mu has always been the lowest active in the capital circle.

Since the beginning of the business, there have only been three rounds of financing, and even the first two rounds have been invested by friends and acquaintances, and only the recent third round of financing has taken the money from the capital circle.

Li Mu was originally not interested in the upcoming party in the UK, but Steve· Johnson's point of view touched him, putting aside capital cooperation, it is necessary for Li Mu to get in touch with the world's top social circles, to understand the daily social interaction between those new rich people like himself, and those Old-Moeny, who have been rich for dozens or hundreds of years, if this is a top player club, then it is necessary for him to integrate into this club as the top of the top.

This is like the hierarchical division of domestic tycoons, Chen Ze once told him that there are many "clubs" among domestic tycoons, some of them appear in the form of clubs, and some appear in the form of chambers of commerce and business alliances, but even so, the hierarchical division and boundary division between each club are very strict.

For example, if it is a club worth 100 million yuan, then it must be a person worth 100 million yuan who can get in, and after entering, he can be accepted by others, and those who can't meet the standard can't get in at all even if they are hard gangsters.

However, in the 100 million yuan club, there is also an upper limit for it, which is not set by itself, but by a club that is one level higher than him.

There is a club of 100 million yuan, and there is also a club of 1 billion, and people who are worth more than 1 billion will definitely not lower their value to go to the 100 million club, so for the 100 million club, the highest value it can carry will not exceed one billion yuan.

In addition to the clubs measured by value, there are also clubs based on geography, such as the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, and the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, which are also only open to those who meet its requirements.

In the world capital circle, such a hierarchy also exists, and the level requirements are much stricter than those of domestic clubs, such as Steve· The party that Johnson invited Li Mu to attend is the top "club" in the international capital circle, which is only open to individuals, business leaders and royalty families of developed countries worth more than $5 billion.

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

As the only one of the world's top richest people who has not yet had a private jet, Li Mu still uses the charter method this time, and Air China's business jet leasing and operation company provides Li Mu with a new Bombardier BD-700 global express, which can achieve direct flights from Yanjing to London without stops.

This aircraft is the most luxurious business jet under Air China's hands, the interior space of the aircraft is very large, originally able to carry up to 19 people comfortably, but after the transformation, it can only carry 10 people, more space has been independent, renovated into a luxurious sky bedroom.

When leaving, it was the team of Muye Technology that picked up Li Mu from Ziyun Villa and went straight to the airport, Li Ziwei had already packed her luggage and followed the team to pick up Li Mu in advance.

The tentative take-off time of the plane was half past twelve o'clock in the afternoon, and the time when Li Mu boarded the convoy's commercial vehicle and prepared to go to the airport was ten o'clock in the morning.

As soon as the convoy drove out of Ziyun Villa, Li Ziwei said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, in the morning, Mr. Lin called me and asked about your trip to the UK today. ”

Li Mu asked her, "Is there anything wrong with Qingya?"

Li Ziwei shook her head and said with a smile: "Lin always wants me to convey a request from her and other company executives to you on my behalf." ”

"Request?" Li Mu smiled: "What kind of request? ”

Li Ziwei smiled and said: "The company's senior management feels that with the development of Makino Technology to the current scale, it is time for the company to consider buying a business jet." ”

"Business jet?" Li Mu frowned, and said: "Isn't it good to rent it?" It costs money when you use it, and you don't have to spend a penny when you don't use it. ”

Li Ziwei said: "The company's senior management privately discussed that business jets are one of the faces of the company after all, and now many large groups have their own business jets, and many top rich people also have their own private jets. ”

Saying that, Li Ziwei said: "Moreover, Google will IPO at the end of this year, Baidu will IPO next year, and even we will prepare for IPO next year, so you should go to the United States a lot in the future. ”

Li Mu nodded lightly, what Li Ziwei said is also very reasonable, in the future, with the acceleration of the development of overseas business and the launch of the IPO, he should often fly around the world, and now he makes an appointment with the business jet company in advance for every trip, but it is inevitable that there will be temporary travel, this kind of travel due to the sudden demand, so sometimes there will be an embarrassing situation that there is no plane to fly.

Moreover, after all, chartering is a short-term leasing behavior, so each time the model will be different, and each time the crew is different, every time you encounter an unfamiliar crew is a more embarrassing thing, all your habits are not clear to the other party, so you have to re-communicate, if it is a fixed crew, it will be a lot easier.

As for the price of business jets, at this stage, the price of better small and medium-sized business jets is generally only 30 million or 40 million US dollars, which is really not a big expense for Makino Technology.

However, according to Li Mu's understanding, the purchase of business jets is very cumbersome, generally have to place an order in advance, pay a deposit, and then the producer will schedule production according to the order, this time cycle is as short as one year, as long as two or three years, even if you place an order now, really wait for the plane to be delivered, I don't know how long it will take.

After thinking about it, Li Mu said: "You can first understand the market situation and choose a one with a relatively long cruising range, so that the future transoceanic flight can save the time of stopovers, and if you want to buy, you can find a way to buy it early, it is best to intercept an order that is about to be delivered, otherwise it will take two or three years at every turn, and when the aircraft is delivered, we have already been on the market." ”

Li Ziwei nodded and said, "Okay, I will communicate with Mr. Lin about these issues." ”

After speaking, Li Ziwei said again: "By the way, Mr. Li, Miss Anne's assistant just talked to me on the phone, they arrived in Yanjing last night, and they live in Hilton next to the airport, after we arrive at the airport, they will meet us in the business jet building." ”

……

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

Today's Anne Hathaway is wearing a black wrap-up dress with a pair of silver shiny heels, and the whole person looks simple and generous, with a dignified temperament.

In contrast, Li Mu's dress is much more casual, with a basic GAP T-shirt on the upper body and a pair of Adidas black sports shorts on the lower body.

The reason why Li Mu dresses so casually is mainly because he has to take a long-distance flight, so he deliberately dresses comfortably, but the price of comfort is that he does not look gentlemanly enough in front of ladies.

But Anne Hathaway didn't seem to care at all, she hugged Li Mu cordially, kissed her cheek, and said happily to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, thank you for letting me take your plane to London together." ”

Li Mu smiled: "Don't be so polite, everyone is a friend." ”

Saying that, Li Mu asked her: "Recently, the crew's affairs have come to an end?"

"Yes. Anne Hathaway said with a smile: "The key shooting tasks in the next stage are Leonardo and Du Wei, and I and Tom can take a break for half a month." ”

Li Mu asked her, "Where did Mr. Hanks go?"

Anne Hathaway said: "He was back to the United States yesterday from Shanghai. ”

Li Mu nodded, and asked her again: "Then when the party in London is over, what are your plans?"

Anne Hathaway smiled sweetly and said, "I haven't thought about it yet, I may go back to the United States for a few days, or I may go back to China directly." ”

Li Mu said: "If you go back to Huaxia directly, we can still be together." ”

Anne Hathaway nodded excitedly and said with a smile: "That's great, thank you Mr. Li." ”

Taking a business jet is not as troublesome as taking an ordinary flight, after the security check in the business jet building, a few people will rest in the VIP room, and while a few people are resting, the staff has sent the luggage to the plane in advance.

Half an hour before takeoff, a Toyota Coaster of the airline sent Li Mu and his party of seven to the parking garage, and the crew members were already waiting outside the plane door at the moment.

As soon as they got on the plane, the flight attendants began to introduce the interior facilities of the aircraft, in addition to the individual first-class seats for each person, as well as the bar, small conference table, lavatory room and other hardware, the flight attendants focused on the luxurious bedrooms on the plane.

The bedroom on this plane is more than 10 square meters, with a full-size double bed, sofa, TV and a separate toilet.

After listening to the introduction of the flight attendant, Li Mu said to Anne Hathaway: "Miss Anne, this bedroom is reserved for you to rest at night. ”

When Anne Hathaway heard this, she hurriedly waved her hand and refused: "How can this be done, Mr. Li, let's just rest outside, and the bedroom is still left for you to use." ”

Li Mu smiled slightly, and said indifferently: "Of course, ladies come first, with Miss Anne you here, how can I go to sleep in the bedroom by myself." ”

Anne Hathaway was not interested in going to sleep in the bedroom, she looked at Li Mu, and said with a smile: "Why don't you let Miss Li go to sleep, the two of us can chat and rest outside, someone talks, and time will pass quickly!"
