As the next richest man in the world recognized in the capital circle, Li Mu's activeness in the capital circle has always been the lowest.

Since the beginning of my business, I have only raised three rounds of financing, and even the first two rounds were invested by friends and acquaintances. Only the most recent third round of financing has earned money from the capital circle. Such a big shot is like a god in the eyes of the capital circle.

Li Mu was originally not interested in the party that was about to be held in the UK, but one of Steve Johnson's views touched him. Putting aside capital cooperation, it is necessary for Li Mu to get in touch with the world's top social circles and learn about the daily social interactions between new rich people like him, as well as old-moeny who have been rich for dozens or hundreds of years. If this is a top player club, then as the top among the top, it is necessary for him to integrate into this club.

This is like the hierarchical division of domestic rich people. Chen Ze once told him that there are many "clubs" among domestic rich people. Some of them appear in the form of clubs, while others appear in the form of chambers of commerce and business alliances. However, even so, the hierarchical division between each club is very strict.

For example, if it is a club worth 100 million yuan, then it must be someone with a net worth of 100 million yuan that can enter, and after entering, it can be accepted by others. If a person fails to meet the standards, he will not be able to enter even if he is forced to do so.

However, there is also an upper limit for the club with a net worth of 100 million yuan. This upper limit is not set by itself, but is set by a club that is one level higher than him.

There are 100 million clubs and 100 million clubs. People with a net worth of more than 1 billion will definitely reduce their own value and go to hang out with 100 million clubs. So for 100 million clubs, the highest value they can bear will not exceed 1 billion yuan.

In addition to clubs that measure value, there are clubs that use region as the benchmark, such as the Zhejiang Chamber of Commerce, Beijing Chamber of Commerce, and Shanghai Chamber of Commerce. Such clubs are also only open to people who meet their requirements.

In the world capital circle, such hierarchical divisions also exist, and the hierarchy requirements are much stricter than domestic clubs. For example, the party invited by Steve Johnson to attend is the top "club" in the international capital circle, which is only open to individuals with a net worth of more than 5 billion US dollars, corporate leaders, and royal families in developed countries.

So, Li Mu also wanted to see what these people's social circles look like.

As the only one among the top rich people in the world who does not have a private plane yet, Li Mu still uses charter flights this time. Air China's business jet leasing and operation company provides Li Mu with a brand new Bombardier BD-700 global express train, which can fly directly from Yanjing to London without stopping.

This aircraft is the most luxurious business aircraft under Air China. The interior space is large and it can carry 19 people to comfortably ride, but after the renovation, it can only carry 10 people. More space is independent and renovated into a luxurious aerial bedroom.

When we set off, Muye Technology's convoy picked up Li Mu from Ziyun Villa and headed straight to the airport. Li Ziwei had already packed her luggage and followed the convoy to pick up Li Mu in advance.

The plane's tentative departure time is 12:30 noon. Li Mu boarded the convoy's business car and prepared to go to the airport was 10:00 a.m.

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 itinerary to go to the UK today."

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

Li Ziwei shook her head and smiled, "Always Lin wants me to convey it on your behalf, and she and other senior executives of the company have a request from you."

"Request?" Li Mu smiled and said, "What request? It's so mysterious."

Li Ziwei smiled and said, "The company's senior executives feel that the company has developed to its current scale, and it is time for the company to consider purchasing a business jet."

"Business jet?" Li Mu frowned and said, "Isn't it good to rent it? Is it good to spend money when I use it, and when I don't need it, I don't have to spend a penny. I buy a business jet myself and burn money in every minute. I have to maintain it. I need a special hangar, a special crew and a steward. I can't fly many times a year, and most of the time is wasted."

Li Ziwei said: "The company's senior executives privately discuss that business jets are one of the company's facades after all. Now many large groups have their own business jets, and many top wealthy people also have their own private jets. Every time you travel, it represents Makino Technology and has a very high exposure. There should be a plane belonging to Makino Technology or your own."

As he said that, Li Ziwei said again: "Also, Google wants ipo at the end of this year, Baidu wants ipo next year, and we even need to prepare ipo next year, so you should go to the United States a lot in the future. For your safety and for your convenience, it is still very necessary to have a own business jet."

Li Mu nodded gently. What Li Ziwei said makes sense. In the future, with the acceleration of overseas business development and the launch of IPOS, she should often fly around the world. Now, she makes an appointment with the business jet company in advance every time she travels, but there are inevitable temporary travels. Because of the sudden demand for this kind of travel, there are sometimes embarrassing situations where there is no plane to fly.

Moreover, charter flights are short-term rental after all, so the model of each time will be different, and the crew members will be different every time. It is a relatively embarrassing thing to encounter unfamiliar units every time. The other party is not clear about all their habits, so they have to communicate again. If a unit is fixed, it will save you a lot of worries.

As for the price of business jets, the better small and medium-sized business jets at this stage are generally priced at 30 to 40 million US dollars, which is indeed not a big expense for Muino Technology.

However, according to Li Mu's understanding, the purchase of business jets is very complicated. Generally, orders are placed in advance and deposits are paid, and the manufacturer then schedules production according to the order. The time period is as short as one year or as long as two or three years. Even if the order is placed now and the plane is actually 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 range. In this way, cross-air flights in the future can save time for mid-passing stops. If you want to buy, find a way to buy it early. It is best to cut off an order that will be delivered soon. Otherwise, we will have already been on the market for two or three years when the plane is delivered."

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

After saying that, Li Ziwei said again: "By the way, Mr. Li, Miss Anne's assistant just called me. They were Yanjing who arrived last night and lived in Hilton next to the airport. After we arrived at the airport, they would meet us in the business jet building."

...

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

Today, Anne Hathaway is wearing a black body-covered dress and a pair of silver shiny high heels. She looks simple and generous, with a dignified temperament.

In contrast, Li Mu dresses more casually, with a basic T-shirt with a gap on his upper body and a pair of Adidas black sports shorts on his lower body.

The reason why Li Mu dressed so casually was mainly because he had to take a long-distance plane, so he deliberately dressed more comfortably, but the price of comfort was that he didn't look gentle enough in front of a lady.

However, Anne Hathaway didn't seem to care at all. She hugged Li Mu intimately and kissed her 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, everyone is friends."

As he said that, Li Mu asked her: "Have the crew finished recently?"

"Yes." Anne Hathaway said with a smile: "The next stage of the focus of shooting is Leonardo and Duwei. I and Senior Tom can take a temporary rest for half a month."

Li Mu asked her: "Where has Mr. Hanks been?"

Anne Hathaway said: "He transferred from the Shanghai Stock Exchange yesterday to the United States."

Li Mu nodded and asked her again: "When the London party 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 we go back to China directly, we can still work together."

Anne Hathaway nodded excitedly and smiled, "That's so great, thank you Mr. Lee."

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 rested in the VIP room. While the few people were resting, the staff had already delivered their luggage to the plane in advance.

Half an hour before departure, a Toyota Coaster from the airline sent Li Mu and his seven members to the hangar. The crew members were waiting outside the cabin door.

After saying hello to the crew members, everyone boarded the plane one after another. As soon as they got on the plane, the crew's crew began to introduce the internal facilities of the plane. In addition to each person's separate first-class seats, as well as bars, small conference tables, bathrooms and other hardware, the crew focused on introducing the luxurious bedrooms on the plane.

The bedroom on this plane has more than a dozen square meters, with standard-sized double beds, sofas, TVs and separate bathrooms.

After listening to the flight attendant's introduction, Li Mu said to Anne Hathaway: "Miss Anne, this bedroom is left for you to rest in the evening."

When Anne Hathaway heard this, she waved her hand and refused, "How can this work? Mr. Li, let's rest outside, let's leave the bedroom for you to use."

Li Mu smiled slightly and said calmly: "Of course, ladies are preferred. With Miss Anne, you are here, how can I go to the bedroom by myself?"

Anne Hathaway was not interested in going to bed in the bedroom. She looked at Li Mu and smiled and said, "Why don't you let Miss Li go to bed? We can chat and rest outside. If someone talks, time will pass quickly!"
