More than ten hours of flying although is long, but it is not too hard.
The seat of the business jet is very comfortable. Even people like Li Mu who are more than 1.8 meters tall can lie down comfortably on it.
As for the independent bedroom at the back, Li Mu wanted to give Anne Hathaway, but the latter refused to accept it, and Li Mu gave it to Li Ziwei, and Li Ziwei said nothing.
If only Li Ziwei is on the plane, Li Mu can also go to the bedroom to rest in peace, but Anne Hathaway is also there, she still wants a gentleman a little, so she simply accompanied her and others outside Chatting is also easy and pleasant.
The estimated time for the plane to arrive in London is 4:30 pm local time. Half an hour before the plane landed, Li Mu replaced his standard programmer outfit and put on a custom dark blue suit.
The plane landed at Heathrow Airport. Under the guidance of the tower, the plane taxied all the way to the designated parking garage.
Steve Johnson, who successfully invited Li Mu and Anne Hathaway, has been waiting in this hangar for a long time.
While standing in the hangar with him, there are 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. After the plane stopped and the door was lowered into an escalator less than one meter high, these people walked Towards the front, standing in line under the escalator, waiting for the Li Mu still on the plane.
The Li Mu wearing formal dress first came down from the plane, Steve · Johnson looked up at looks at, and there was an old friend's smile on his face. When Li Mu just stood on the ground, he took the initiative to shake hands with Li Mu and laugh Tao: "Lee, welcome to London!"
Li Mu smiled slightly: "Thank you, didn't expect, you still come here in person."
"This is my honor." Steve Johnson smiled slightly and asked Li Mu: "Is Mr. Li going to London for the first time?"
Li Mu laughed and said: "First time in the UK."
Steve · Johnson said in surprise: "I thought you had been here before. If I have enough time this time, I can accompany you around."
Li Mu said lightly: "Thank you Steve, let's look at the actual situation."
Steve · Johnson nodded and introduced the people around him to Li Mu. He first introduced a middle-aged person next to him, saying: "Chief Li, this is the chief executive of HSBC-HOLDINGS Officer, Mark · Blount. "
The middle-aged man about 40 years old opposite Li Mu looks at was slightly surprised. Since the last time Steve Johnson mentioned HSBC, Li Mu has studied a little about HSBC. This HSBC-HOLDINGS is HSBC Holdings. It is the parent company of HSBC and one of the world's top 500 companies. The latest ranking has also entered the top 100 of the world's top 500 companies.
As the CEO of HSBC Holdings, Mark · Blount has no need to say that he has a high status. He and Steve · Johnson went to the airport to greet him. It seems that he really regarded himself as a VIP.
However, Li Mu also knows clearly that the other party attaches great importance to himself. The biggest reason is that he wants to be the lead bank for listing Muye Science and Technology on the NASDAQ.
Li Mu shook hands with Mark · Blount very politely and smiled: "Nice to meet you, Mr. Blount."
Mark · Blount took off the top hat with one hand and said very politely: "Mr. Li, it is my pleasure to meet you. Welcome to London."
Steve · Johnson introduced the remaining few people to Li Mu. One of these people is person in charge of Sequoia Capital in the UK, one is an executive of HSBC Holdings, and the other is according to Steve · Johnson. Is a member of an old British noble family, this noble member is named Jimmy Goldberg, Goldberg English is Goldberg, it feels like the Jewish surname.
After that, Steve Johnson introduced the Anne Hathaway who got off the plane behind Li Mu. Li Mu also introduced his personal assistant Li Ziwei to the pedestrian.
After greeting the guests, Steve · Johnson took the Li Mu and his team in a convoy of Rolls-Royce to the VIP building of Heathrow Airport. According to him, in the VIP building, there are special customs Building, it is much more convenient to pass through from here, and it can guarantee privacy to a great extent. Basically, it is to go through the stage and put a stamp on the passport to pass the level.
The team is made up of eight Leslies. When assigning a car, Steve Johnson asked Li Mu tentatively: "Chief Li, if you have no opinion, let's take a car? Just some things to tell you in person Click. "
Li Mu nodded: "No problem."
Then, the two sat in the same car.
The hangar is still a few kilometers away from the VIP building, and on the road inside the airport, the speed of cars is relatively slow. On the road, Steve · Johnson said to Li Mu: "Chief Li, this party is first-year university student larger than expected. Some, so we temporarily moved from one manor in North London to another manor in South London. The rooms for you and your staff have been arranged. In addition, the owners of these two manors are owned by the Goldberg family. They are also the host of this party. "
Li Mu nodded gently and asked him: "Can you tell us about the general situation of the Goldberg family?"
Steve Johnson laughed: "Goldberg is a typical Old-Money. It was already very rich in World War I. Before World War II, they moved the entire family from Germany to the United Kingdom, and then they have taken root in the United Kingdom. At that time, the Goldberg family donated a lot of money to the United Kingdom in support of the British resistance. At that time, the royal family gave the Goldberg family an hereditary earl title to thank them, but the British royal family announced the abolition of the hereditary hereditary at the end of the last century, so their family is the last generation. Earl. "
As he said, Steve · Johnson also introduced: "Goldberg is engaged in many fields. In the early years, he was in banking, finance, petroleum, and industrial manufacturing. In recent years, he has gradually shifted his focus to finance. Many well-known financial companies Of the board of directors have their seats, including HSBC Holdings, they also hold shares through multiple shell companies and individuals, and even the largest shareholder behind HSBC, Black Rock, USA, they also have a certain share. "
Li Mu nodded thoughtfully and said, "Jewish family like the Rothschild family?"
Steve · Johnson laughed: "The size of their family assets is much stronger than the Rothschild family, but it is much worse than you."
Li Mu has always been in the internet circle, and even the capital circle is rarely involved, so he lacks in-depth understanding of the international capital market, and he focuses on the domestic and US markets, and lacks understanding of the entire Europe, so in his perception The most awesome family in Europe seems to be the Rothschild family whose previous life has been passed down, but listening to Steve · Johnson said, it seems that the Rothschild family does not have the awesome that they imagined. A little smell of waste wood.
At this time, Steve Johnson saw Li Mu's incomprehensible expression, and said with a laugh said: "Many people have misunderstood the Rothschild family. This family has a long history and it was really very powerful. However, since entering 20 After the century, this former big family has been going downhill. Many wrong judgments of key nodes have made this family long gone. The only thing they can do now is a little banking. To be honest, the whole family is now It has been torn apart, but even so, the combined assets are not even the size of 10 billion USD, but the total assets of the Goldberg family are about 50 billion USD, which is several times the Rothschild family. "
So, Steve Johnson added another sentence: "Oh, yes, Chief Li, the Rothschilds are not even in the invited sequence of this party."
Li Mu was surprised. It seems that many of the so-called anecdotes are not credible. The Chinese said that the Rothschild family controlled trillions of USD, but in the mouth of British capitalists, the Rothschild family had already withdrawn from the decline. Frontline player queue.
However, it is clear that Steve Johnson is more credible than the so-called experts who write financial books blindly in China.
Steve Johnson continued: "This time not only came representatives from many top families in many countries, but also many members of the royal family. Basically, important royal families in Europe sent representatives, and even several royal princes from Dubai. . "
Li Mu asked curiously: "Prince of Dubai? Then their arrogance must be very big?"
"It's not just big," Steve Johnson rubbed his temples helplessly, saying: "They have over a hundred people, most of them are security personnel, servants, and staff. The planes are not one, but a team. Five, including three transport planes dedicated to transporting the personal belongings of several princes, including more than ten various luxury cars, and a large number of strange animals. The British media recently reported it in a lot, and it was mostly ironic. The public is also very dissatisfied with this, and thinks that their extravagance will have a great impact on Britain, and at the same time will bring a huge preemption to the British public resources. "
Li Mu suddenly thought of some of the news that previous life had seen. The battle of the Prince of Dubai is really amazing, especially the luxury cars. Every time they go out, they ca n’t wait to bring their own garage, including a variety of labor. Slace, as well as a variety of supercar, including Bugatti, Ferrari, Lamborghini and other top supercar, it seems that this is also the routine standard of the Dubai royal family.
Speaking of this, Steve · Johnson sighed and said: "I don't know why these oil princes have a special liking for Britain, and British food is not tasty, and the environment and natural scenery are few other European countries. Okay, but they have to go to the UK for vacation every year. "
Li Mu laughed and said: "Even if the environment and natural scenery in Britain is not as good as in Northern Europe, it is always much stronger than the desert in the Middle East. Fifty degrees, and living in such a place for a long time, you will feel that everything is good except your own home. "
Steve · Johnson agrees very much: "Chief Li you are right. In the Middle East, it is a luxury to want to ride a horse. These royal members' horses are usually raised in Dubai and run in the United Kingdom."
Li Mu smiled slightly and asked him: "Yes, is there any other internet industry person at this party?"
"Yes, of course." Steve · Johnsonsaid with a laugh said: "Bill Gates."
Li Mu asked curiously: "Is he the only one?"
Steve · Johnson nodded and said, "Just one of him."
