Chapter 1518 Buy a Plane?

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

Since I started my business, I have only raised three rounds in total. Even the first two rounds were invested by friends and acquaintances. Only the most recent third round of financing took money from the capital circle. In the eyes of the capital circle, such a big guy is like a god. exist.

Li Mu was originally not interested in the upcoming party in the UK, but a point of view from Steve Johnson touched him. Aside from capital cooperation, Li Mu needed to get in touch with the world's top social circles and learn about those who are the same as himself. The daily social interaction between the rich and the Old-Moeny who have been rich for dozens or hundreds of years. If this is a top player club, then as the top of the top, it is necessary to integrate into this club.

This is like the hierarchy 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, while others appear in the form of chambers of commerce and business alliances, but Even so, the hierarchies and boundaries between each club are very strict.

For example, if it is a club worth 100 million yuan, then only those with a worth of 100 million yuan will be able to enter, and after entering, they will be accepted by others, and those who do not meet the standard will not be able to get in at all even if they are hardcore.

However, in a club worth 100 million yuan, there is also an upper limit for it. This upper limit is not set by itself, but by a club higher than him.

There are clubs of 100 million yuan, and there are also clubs of 1 billion. People who are worth more than 1 billion will definitely lower their worth to hang out in the club of 100 million. Therefore, for the club of 100 million, the highest value it can carry will not exceed 100 million. One billion yuan.

In addition to the clubs that are measured by value, there are also clubs that are based on regions, 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 their requirements.

In the world capital circle, such hierarchies also exist, and the level requirements are stricter than those 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. "It is only open to individuals worth more than $5 billion, business leaders and developed country royals.

Therefore, Li Mu also wanted to know what the social circle of these people was like.

As the only one of the world's top millionaires who does not have a private jet, Li Mu still used a charter flight this time. Air China's business jet leasing and operation company provided Li Mu with a brand new Bombardier BD-700 Global Express, which is from Yanjing can fly directly to London without stopping.

This plane is the most luxurious business jet owned by Air China. The plane has a large interior space. Originally, it could carry up to 19 people comfortably, but after the renovation, it can only carry 10 people. Luxurious sky bedroom.

At the time of departure, it was Muye Technology's team 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 and set off.

The plane's tentative departure time is 12:30 noon, and Li Mu boarded the convoy's commercial vehicle and was ready to go to the airport at 10:00 in the morning.

As soon as the convoy left Ziyun Villa, Li Ziwei said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, in the morning, Mr. Lin called me and asked about your itinerary to the UK 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 to you from her and other senior management of the company."

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

Li Ziwei smiled sweetly and said, "The company's executives feel that the development of Muye Technology to the current scale,

It's time for companies to consider buying a business jet. "

"Business jet?" Li Mu frowned and said, "Isn't it good to rent it? You spend money when you use it, and you don't need to spend a penny when you don't need it. Buy a business jet yourself, and you have to go in every minute. Burning money, maintenance, special hangars, special crew and maintenance, not many flights throughout the year, most of the time is wasted.”

Li Ziwei said: "The company's executives discussed in private that business jets are after all one of the company's facades. Now many large groups have their own business jets, and many top rich people also have their own private jets. Every time you travel, They all represent Muye Technology and have a very high exposure, so there should be an aircraft belonging to Muye Technology or your own.”

Having said that, Li Ziwei added: "Moreover, Google will have an IPO at the end of this year, Baidu will have an IPO next year, and even we will be preparing for an IPO next year, so you should go to the United States a lot in the future, for your safety and for your own sake. For the convenience of travel, it is still very necessary to have a private business jet.”

Li Mu nodded lightly, what Li Ziwei said also made sense. In the future, with the accelerated development of overseas business and the launch of IPO, he should be flying around the world frequently, and now he travels ahead of schedule every time. Make an appointment with a business jet company, but it is inevitable to have a temporary trip. Due to the sudden demand for this kind of trip, sometimes there will be an embarrassing situation where there is no plane to fly.

Moreover, charter flights are short-term rentals after all, so each time the aircraft type will be different, and the crew members will be different each time. It is a rather embarrassing thing to encounter a strange crew every time. All my habits The other party is not clear, so we have to communicate again. If we fix a unit, it will save a lot of worry.

As for the price of business jets, the better small and medium-sized business jets at this stage are generally priced at US$30 to 40 million, 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, an order must be placed in advance and a deposit must be paid, and then the manufacturer 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 now Place an order and actually 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 conditions and choose a model with a longer cruising range, so that the future transoceanic flight can save time for stopovers, and if you want to buy it, you can find a way to buy it early, it is best if you can Take an order that is about to be delivered, otherwise it will take two or three years for the aircraft to be delivered, and we will already be on the market.”

Li Ziwei nodded and said, "Okay, I will discuss these issues with President Lin."

After speaking, Li Ziwei said again: "By the way, Mr. Li, Miss Anne's assistant called me just now. They arrived in Yanjing last night and lived in Hilton next to the airport. After we arrive at the airport, they will be on business. Meet us at the airport."

...

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

Today's Anne Hathaway is wearing a black wrap dress with a pair of silver shiny high heels. The whole person looks simple and elegant, with a dignified temperament.

In contrast, Li Mu wore more casual clothes, with a basic GAP T-shirt on his upper body and a pair of black Adidas 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 more comfortably, but the price of comfort is that he doesn't look like a gentleman in front of a lady.

But Anne Hathaway didn't seem to care at all. After she and Li Mu hugged and kissed their cheeks, she happily said to Li Mu, "Mr. Li, thank you for letting me take your plane to London with you."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Don't be so polite, we are all friends."

After speaking, Li Mu asked her, "Have the work on the crew come to an end recently?"

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

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

Anne Hathaway said: "He returned to the United States from the Shanghai stock market yesterday."

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

Anne Hathaway smiled sweetly and said, "I haven't made up my mind yet. Maybe I will go back to the United States for a few days, or I may directly return to China."

Li Mu said: "If we 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 completing the security check in the business jet building, a few people rested in the VIP room. Taking advantage of the rest time of several people, the staff had already sent their luggage to the plane in advance.

Half an hour before takeoff, a Toyota Coaster of the airline sent Li Mu and his group of seven to the hangar. The crew members were already waiting outside the plane door.

After greeting the crew members, everyone boarded the plane one after another. Once on the plane, the crew members began to introduce the internal facilities of the plane, in addition to each person's individual first-class seats, as well as the bar, small conference table, toilet, etc. Hardware aside, the flight attendants highlighted the luxurious bedrooms on this plane.

The bedroom on this plane has more than ten square meters, which has a standard-sized double bed, sofa, TV and independent bathroom.

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: "What's the matter, Mr. Li, we'll just rest outside. Let's leave the bedroom for you."

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

Anne Hathaway didn't have any interest in going to the bedroom, she looked at Li Mu, smiled and said, "Why don't you let Miss Li go to bed, we can chat and rest outside, if someone talks, the time will pass. soon!"
