As the next world's richest person recognized in the capital circle, Li Mu has always been the least active in the capital circle.
So far, only three rounds of financing have been raised, and even the first two rounds have been invested by friends and acquaintances. Only the latest third round of financing has taken money from the capital circle. In the eyes of the capital circle, such a big brother is simply God-like existence.
Li Mu was originally not interested in the Party that was going to be established in the UK, but Steve Johnson ’s point of view touched him, aside from the capital cooperation, Li Mu needs to contact the world ’s top social circles and learn about those who are with themselves. The same day-to-day rich people, and the daily social interaction between the old-Moeny who have been rich for tens of centuries. If this is a top club, then as the top of the top, it is also necessary to integrate into this club.
It's like the hierarchical division of the domestic rich. Chen Ze once told him that there are many "clubs" among the domestic rich. Some of them appear in the form of clubs, while others appear in the form of chambers of commerce and trade unions. However, even so, the division and boundaries between each club are very strict.
For example, if it is a 100 million yuan worth of club, then it must be that talents with a value of 100 million yuan can enter, and after entering, they can be accepted by others. Don't go in.
However, in a club worth 100 million yuan, there is also an upper limit. This upper limit is not set by itself, but is set by a club higher than him.
There are 100 million clubs and 1 billion clubs. People with a value of more than 1 billion will definitely go to the 100 million clubs by lowering their value, so for 100 million clubs, the highest value it can carry, No more than one billion yuan.
In addition to clubs that are measured by value, there are also clubs that are based on geography, such as the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, the Beijing Chamber of Commerce, and the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce. Such clubs are also only open to those who meet its requirements.
In the world capital circle, such hierarchical division also exists, and the level requirements are stricter than domestic clubs. For example, the party that Steve · Johnson invited Li Mu to participate in, it is in the international capital circle. The top "clubs" are only open to individuals, enterprises person in charge, and royals in developed countries, with a value of more than 5 billion USD.
So, Li Mu would also like to see what this group of people usually do in social circles.
As the world ’s top rich man, the only one who does not yet have a private jet, Li Mu still uses charter flights this time. Air China ’s business jet leasing and operating company has provided a new Bombardier BD-700 for the Li Mu. Express train, direct flight from Yanjing to London without stopping.
This aircraft is the most luxurious business jet under Air China. The aircraft has a large internal space. It was originally able to carry up to 19 people for a comfortable ride. However, after the transformation, it could only carry 10 people. More space was isolated and renovated. It became a luxurious sky bedroom.
At the departure, the Muye Science and Technology convoy picked up the Li Mu from Ziyun Mountain Villa and went straight to the airport. Li Ziwei had already packed up his luggage and followed the convoy in advance to pick up Li Mu.
The tentative departure time of the plane is 12:30 noon. Li Mu boarded the Business Car of the convoy and is ready to go to the airport at ten o'clock in the morning.
As soon as the team left Ziyun Mountain Villa, Li Ziwei said to Li Mu: "Chief Li. In the morning, Lin Zong called me and asked about your itinerary to the UK today."
Li Mu asked her: "Is there anything wrong with Qingya?"
Li Ziwei shook his head and smiled: "Lin Zong wants me to pass it on, a request from her and other company executives to you."
"Request?" Li Mu said with a smile: "What request? It's so mysterious."
Li Ziwei smiled and said: "The company's senior executives feel that Muye Science and Technology has grown to its current size, and 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? Spend money when you use it, and don't spend a penny when you don't. Buy a business jet yourself, every minute. To burn money, to maintain, have a special hangar, have a special crew and maintenance, can not fly many times a year, most of the time is wasted. "
Li Ziwei said: "People in the company discussed privately that business jets are, after all, one of the company's facades. Many large groups now have their own business jets, and many top rich people also have their own private jets. Both trips represent Muye Science and Technology, with very high exposure, there should be an aircraft belonging to Muye Science and Technology or your own. "
As I said, Li Ziwei said: "And, at the end of this year, Google will be an IPO, next year Baidu will be an IPO, and even we will be preparing for an IPO next year, so you should visit the United States a lot in the future. For your safety, For your convenience, it is still necessary to have your own business jet. "
Li Mu nodded lightly. This is also very reasonable as Li Ziwei said. With the development of overseas business accelerating in the future and the launch of IPO, I should often fly around the world, now it ’s every time I travel I made an appointment with the business jet company in advance, but it was inevitable that there was also a temporary intentional trip. Due to the relatively sudden demand for such trips, sometimes there was an embarrassing situation where there was no aircraft to fly.
Moreover, after all, charter flights are short-term rentals, so each model will be different, and the crew will be different each time. It is awkward to encounter a strange crew every time. All the habits are not clear to the other party, so it is necessary to re-communicate. If it is a fixed unit, it will be a lot of worry.
As for the price of business jets, small and medium-sized business jets that are better at this stage are generally priced at 3-4 million USD, which is indeed not a big expense for Muye Science and Technology.
However, according to Li Mu's, the purchase of business jets is very cumbersome. Generally, an order must be placed in advance and a deposit is paid, and then the producer will schedule production according to the order. This time period is as short as one year and as long as two or three years. Even if I place an order now and really wait for the aircraft to be delivered, I don't know how long it will be.
Thinking about it, Li Mu said: "You can first understand the market conditions and choose one with a longer cruising range, so that future trans-ocean flights can save the time of stopovers, and if you want to buy it, try to buy it early. Fortunately, we can intercept an order that is about to be delivered, otherwise we will have already been on the market after two or three years of waiting for the aircraft to be delivered. "
Li Ziwei nodded and said, "Okay, I will communicate with Lin Zong about these issues."
After finishing, Li Ziwei said again: "Yes, Chief Li, Miss Anne ’s assistant just called me. They were Yanjing who arrived last night. They lived in Hilton next to the airport. When we arrived at the airport, they would be on business. The machine building meets us. "
......
After half an hour, Li Mu met Anne Hathaway in the business jet building.
Today ’s Anne Hathaway is wearing a black bag dress and a pair of silver shiny high-heeled shoes. The whole person looks simple and elegant, with a dignified temperament.
In contrast, Li Mu's wears more casually, with a GAP basic T-shirt on the upper body and Adidas black sports shorts on the lower body.
The reason why Li Mu wears so casually is mainly because he wants to take a long-distance flight, so he deliberately wears a bit more comfortably, but the price of comfort is that he does not appear to be gentleman in front of the lady.
But Anne Hathaway did n’t seem to care at all. After hugging and kissing her cheek with Li Mu, she said happily to Li Mu: "Chief Li, thank you for letting me take your plane to London."
Li Mu said with a smile: "No need to be so polite, everyone is a friend."
Speaking, Li Mu asked her: "Has the film crew come to an end recently?"
"Yes." Anne Hathaway said with a laugh said: "The focus of the next phase of the shooting task is Leonardo and Du Wei, and I and Senior Tom can temporarily rest for half a month."
Li Mu asked her: "Where did Mr. Hanks go?"
Anne Hathaway said: "He transferred from Shanghai to the US yesterday."
Li Mu nodded and asked her again: "When the London party is over, what are your plans?"
Annie Hathaway smiled sweetly and said, "I haven't thought about it yet. I may return to the United States to stay for a few days, or I may return directly to China."
Li Mu simply said: "If we go directly back to China, we can still be together."
Anne Hathaway nodded excitedly and smiled: "That's really great, thank you Mr. Li."
Traveling on a business jet is not as troublesome as taking a regular flight. After completing the security check in the business jet building, a few people will rest in the VIP room. Taking advantage of the rest time, the staff has already sent the luggage to the plane in advance.
Half an hour before takeoff, a Toyota Coaster from the airline sent seven people including Li Mu to the hangar. The crew members were waiting outside the aircraft door at the moment.
Hello to the crew members, everyone boarded the plane one after another, and as soon as they got on the plane, the cabin crew began to introduce the aircraft ’s internal facilities, in addition to each person ’s separate first-class seats, as well as a bar, a small conference table, In addition to the bathroom and other hardware, the flight attendants focused on the luxurious bedroom on this aircraft.
There are more than ten square meters of bedrooms on this plane, with standard size double beds, sofas, TVs and separate toilets.
After listening to the flight attendant introduction, Li Mu said to Anne Hathaway: "Miss Anne, this bedroom will be left for you to rest at night."
As soon as Anne Hathaway heard this, hastily waved her hand and refused: "How can this work? Chief Li, we can just rest outside. The bedroom is still reserved for your use."
Li Mu smiled slightly and said indifferently: "Of course it is the lady who has priority. There is Miss Annie. You are here. How can I go to the bedroom by myself."
Anne Hathaway was not interested in going to her bedroom. She smiled looks at Li Mu and said, "If you do n’t want Miss Li to go to bed, the two of us can chat outside and have a rest. It's going fast! "
