Chapter 1519 Arrived in London

Although the flight of more than ten hours is long, it is not difficult.

The seats of the business jet are very comfortable. Even people like Li Mu who are over 1.8 meters tall can lie comfortably on them.

As for the independent bedroom behind, Li Mu wanted to give it to Anne Hathaway, but the latter was unwilling to accept it, so Li Mu gave it to Li Ziwei again, and Li Ziwei also said she refused to do anything.

If Li Ziwei was on the plane, Li Mu could have gone to the bedroom to rest with peace of mind, but Anne Hathaway was there, and she was still more gentlemanly, so she simply chatted with her and others outside, which was relaxed and happy.

The plane is expected to arrive in London at 4:30 p.m. local time. Half an hour before the plane landed, Li Mu changed out of his standard coder outfit and put on a customized dark blue suit.

The plane landed at Heathrow Airport and, under the guidance of the tower, glided all the way to the designated hangar.

Steve Johnson, who successfully invited Li Mu and Anne Hathaway, has been waiting in this hangar for a long time.

Standing in the hangar with him were waiting, several middle-aged men in full suits.

When the plane slowly slid into the hangar, Li Mu had already seen Steve Johnson dressed in an extremely gentlemanly outside the cabin. After the plane stopped and the cabin door was lowered, the people walked closer and stood under the escalator and lined up left and right, waiting for Li Mu who was still on the plane.

Li Mu, in formal clothes, was the first to walk off the plane. Steve Johnson looked up at him, with an old friend's smile on his face. As soon as Li Mu was standing on the ground, he immediately took the initiative to shake hands with Li Mu and smiled: "Li, welcome to London!"

Li Mu smiled slightly: "Thank you, I didn't expect you to come here in person."

"This is my honor." Steve Johnson smiled slightly and asked Li Mu: "Is Mr. Li a first time in London?"

Li Mu smiled and said, "It's the first time I'm in the UK." Teve Johnson said in surprise: "I thought you've been here before. If you have enough time this time, I can accompany you everywhere."

Li Mu said lightly: "Thank you steve, let's see the actual situation." Teve Johnson nodded, and then introduced the people around Li Mu. He first introduced a middle-aged man next to him and said: "Mr. Li, this is the CEO of hsbc-holdings, Mark Blunt."

Li Mu looked at the middle-aged man around forty years opposite him, and was a little surprised. Since Steve Johnson mentioned HSBC last time, Li Mu has studied some information about HSBC. This hsbc-holdings is HSBC Holdings, which is HSBC Holdings, is HSBC's parent company and one of the world's top 500 companies. Its latest ranking has also entered the top 100 of the world's top 500 companies.

As the CEO of HSBC Holdings, Mark Blunt has a high status and needs no need to say. He went to the airport to greet him with Steve Johnson, and it seems that he really regarded himself as a distinguished guest.

However, Li Mu knew very well that the biggest reason why the other party valued him so much was actually to become the leader of Muye Technology's listing on Nasdaq.

Li Mu shook hands with Mark Blunt very politely and smiled: "I'm glad to see you, Mr. Blunt."

Mark Blunt took off the hat on his head with one hand and said very politely: "Mr. Li, it is my honor to meet you. Welcome to London." Teve Johnson introduced Li Mu to the remaining people. One of them was the head of Sequoia Capital in the UK, one was the executive of HSBC Holdings, and the other, according to Steve Johnson, was a member of an old British aristocratic family. The noble member was named Jimmy Gaobai. Gao Bai's English was goldberg, which felt like the surname of a Jew.

Afterwards, Steve Johnson introduced Anne Hathaway to everyone who got off the plane following Li Mu. Li Mu also introduced his personal assistant Li Ziwei to the group.

After some greetings and making polite comments, Steve Johnson took Li Mu and his group to the VIP building of Heathrow Airport in a convoy of Rolls-Royce. According to him, there is a special customs building in the VIP building, which is much more convenient to pass the customs from here and can ensure privacy to a great extent. It is basically just a formality, and you can pass the passport by stamping it.

The convoy consists of eight Les-Royces. When the car was allocated, steve johnson asked Li Mu tentatively: "Mr. Li, if you have no objection, let's take a car? Some things are to be told to you in person."

Li Mu nodded: "No problem."

Then, the two sat in the same car.

The hangar is a few kilometers away from the VIP building, and the car is moving slowly on the inside of the airport. On the road, Steve Johnson said to Li Mu: "Mr. Li, the scale of this party is larger than expected, so we temporarily moved from a manor in north London to another manor in south London. The rooms of you and your staff have been arranged. In addition, the owners of these two manors are owned by the Goldberg family, and they are also the hosts of this party."

Li Mu nodded slightly and asked him: "Can you introduce the general situation of the goldberg family?" Teve Johnson smiled and said, "goldberg is a typical old-money. He was already very rich during World War I. Before World War II, they moved the entire family from Germany to England and then took root in Britain. During World War II, the goldberg family donated a lot of money to Britain in order to support the British resistance. In order to thank them, the royal family gave the goldberg family an hereditary Count. However, at the end of the last century, the British royal family announced the abolition of the Duke's hereditary, so their family was the last generation of earls."

As he said, Steve Johnson introduced: "Goldberg is engaged in many fields. In the early years, it was banking, finance, oil and industrial manufacturing. In recent years, it has gradually shifted its focus to finance. Many well-known financial companies have their seats on the boards, including HSBC Holdings. They also hold shares through multiple shell companies and individuals. Even American Black Rock, the largest shareholder behind HSBC, also holds certain shares."

Li Mu nodded thoughtfully and said, "A Jewish family similar to the Rothschild family?" Teve Johnson smiled and said, "Their family assets are much stronger than the Rothschild family, but they are much worse than you."

Li Mu has been in the Internet circle and even rarely goes into the capital circle, so he lacks in-depth understanding of the international capital market. Moreover, he focuses on the domestic and American markets, and lacks understanding of the entire Europe. Therefore, in his understanding, the most awesome family in Europe seems to be the Rothschild family that was rumored to be amazing in his previous life. However, after hearing what Steve Johnson said, it seems that the Rothschild family is not as awesome as he imagined. Even if he listens vaguely, it still has a bit of a waste.

At this time, Steve Johnson saw Li Mu's expression incomprehension and said with a smile: "The world has many misunderstandings about the Rothschild family. This family has indeed had a long history and was indeed very powerful. However, since the 20th century, this former big family has been on the decline. Many mistakes in judgment at key nodes have made this family fall long ago. The only thing they can do now is a little banking business. To be honest, the entire family is now divided, but even so, the total assets of the whole group are even less than 10 billion US dollars. However, the total assets of the goldberg family are about 50 billion US dollars, several times that of the Rothschild family."

As he said that, steve johnson added: "Oh, by the way, Mr. Li, the Rothschilds, are not even in the invitation sequence of this party."

Li Mu was surprised to hear it. It seemed that many so-called rumors and anecdotes were unreliable. The Chinese people said that the Rothschild family controlled trillions of dollars, but among the British capitalists, the Rothschild family had already declined and withdrew from the front-line player queue.

However, it is obvious that what Steve Johnson said is more credible, and is much more reliable than the so-called experts who write financial books in China. Teve Johnson continued: "This time, not only were representatives of many top families from various countries, but also many royal members. The important royal families in Europe basically sent representatives, and even the Dubai royal family came to the Dubai royal family."

Li Mu asked curiously: "Prince of Dubai? Then their pomp must be very big, right?"

"It's not just big." Steve Johnson rubbed his temple helplessly and said, "They've had more than a hundred people in their group, most of them are security personnel and servants, staff. The planes are not one, but a team of five. Among them, three transport planes are dedicated to transporting the personal belongings of several princes, including more than a dozen luxury cars and a large number of strange animals. Recently, British media reported it heavily, and most of them were sarcastic tone, which made the public very dissatisfied with it. They believed that their luxury style would have a great impact on the UK and at the same time bring huge seizures to the UK's public resources."

Li Mu suddenly thought of some news that he had seen in his previous life. The trip of the Dubai prince is indeed amazing, especially luxury cars. Every time he goes out, he wants to bring his own garage, including various Rolls-Royces, as well as various supercars, including top supercars such as Bugatti, Ferrari, and Lamborghini. 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. The British food is not delicious, and the environment and natural scenery are not as good as several other European countries, but they have to come to the UK for vacation every year."

Li Mu smiled and said, "Even if the environment and natural scenery in the UK are not as good as those in Northern Europe, they are always much stronger than the deserts in the Middle East. I heard that the Middle East is above 38 degrees Celsius for 300 days a year, and can still reach fifty degrees at any time. After living in such a place for a long time, you will feel that everything is better except your own home." Teve Johnson said in agreement: "Mr. Li, you are right. In the Middle East, riding a horse is a luxury. The horses of these royal members are usually kept in Dubai and running in the UK."

Li Mu smiled slightly and asked him: "By the way, are there any people from other Internet industries participating in this party?"

"Yes, of course, there are." Steve Johnson said with a smile: "Bill Gates."

Li Mu asked curiously: "Only him?" teve johnson nodded and said: "Only him."
