On the plane flying to Hangzhou, Li Mu was still holding his laptop and writing about product requirements for the food delivery platform.
This time he went to Hangzhou with Li Ziwei and Wang Yuanlang. The four of them had long been accustomed to Li Mu's working conditions. When they saw him holding out his laptop and writing big words incessantly, no one made any sound, for fear of disturbing them. to his train of thought.
After Li Mu sorted out the requirements and structure of the entire set of products, the plane began to descend and would land at Hangcheng Airport in twenty minutes.
Only then did he have time to look at the business jet. Every time he traveled, the business jet he took was different. This one was obviously smaller than the previous ones, and the internal facilities were not as refined and slightly older.
In fact, business jet companies are no different from car rental companies. They have many models and the conditions of the vehicles vary from new to old. Moreover, because the unit price of aircraft is too high, the total fleet of business jet companies is also very small. Some of the better, newer ones are better. Some of the planes have been rented out, and the only ones left are these small, mediocre business jets.
Li Mu suddenly began to look forward to the Gulfstream G550 that Chen Ze had mentioned to him. That aircraft should be one of the best small and medium-sized business jets now. If you want something more expensive, then buy a business jet modified from the Boeing 737. Or a business jet modified from an Airbus A320.
In fact, those kind of business jets are no longer ordinary business jets. They use mainline passenger jets, and then undergo internal modifications to transform a large passenger jet into a private jet.
However, that kind of aircraft is really too luxurious for Li Mu. All he wants is a business jet that is safer, newer, can fly farther, and is more comfortable to ride, so as to meet the future demand for flying around the world. .
As for how much space there is inside, it doesn't matter to Li Mu.
The last time Li Mu went to the Goldberg family salon, he heard that the tycoon royal family in the Middle East converted a Boeing 747 into a private jet. Each plane cost hundreds of millions of dollars, and they spent hundreds of millions of dollars on renovation and decoration. They wished they could turn it into a palace in the sky, but Li Mu believes that small and medium-sized business jets are a real tool for international business and time-saving, and are far more practical than luxury large aircraft.
The Gulfstream G550 is an aircraft that Li Mu likes in all aspects. If it is true as Chen Ze said, he can directly take over the aircraft that are about to be delivered from other customers, which will save him a lot of time.
After the plane landed in Hangzhou, Zhao Xianliang personally took the motorcade to the airport to greet him, and Zhao Ziqiu even came with him.
As soon as they met, Zhao Ziqiu, who was dressed in casual clothes and looked particularly youthful, excitedly threw himself into Li Mu's arms. Zhao Xianliang behind him looked a little embarrassed.
Maybe this is the situation where women are not admitted to university, right? After finally pampering a daughter like a princess until she was in her early twenties, she couldn't wait to rush into the arms of other men. This feeling was really uncomfortable for Zhao Xianliang.
Zhao Ziqiu rarely wears makeup, but today in order to pick up Li Mu, she deliberately dressed herself up carefully. The traces of eyebrow pencil can be seen in the willow-leaf curved eyebrows, and the big watery eyes are also painted with light and thin eyeliner. She wore light burgundy lipstick and no concealer or foundation on her skin. That was because she was born with the temperament of a girl from the south of Jiangsu and Zhejiang. Her skin was so tender that she could pinch water, and she couldn't find any faults.
However, Zhao Ziqiu's dressing style is relatively simple. She is not used to wearing fancy or fashionable and sexy clothes. What she likes most is simple sportswear with ponytails. She is full of youthful vitality, innocence and cuteness.
Li Mu missed Zhao Ziqiu very much, so when she threw herself into his arms, he gave her an affectionate kiss without hesitation, and then realized that Zhao Xianliang was not far behind Zhao Ziqiu.
So Li Mu patted Zhao Ziqiu's waist and whispered: "I'll say hello to uncle first."
Only then did Zhao Ziqiu loosen his arms tightly holding Li Mu.
Li Mu walked up to Zhao Xianliang, bowed slightly politely, and said, "Hello, Uncle Zhao."
Zhao Xianliang smiled and said, "It's good for you, Li Mu, you've had a hard journey."
Li Mu smiled and said, "It's not hard at all."
Zhao Xianliang said: "Let's talk while walking. The car is waiting outside."
Li Mu nodded, walked out of the airport hand in hand with Zhao Ziqiu, and got directly into a Toyota Coaster arranged by Zhao Xianliang.
The car was relatively spacious, so all five of Li Mu and his party got into this car. Zhao Xianliang and Zhao Ziqiu also naturally sat in this car.
Zhao Ziqiu insisted on sitting with Li Mu, so Li Mu asked her to sit on the window side of one of the rows of seats. He sat on the aisle, and Zhao Xianliang sat on the aisle across the aisle.
After the car started, Zhao Xianliang said to Li Mu, "Auntie Xie has gone to pick up your parents. They should get home before us."
Li Mu nodded and said, "It's really troublesome for you and Auntie Xie. You have to divide your troops into two groups to pick up our family."
Zhao Xianliang said with a smile: "This is all as it should be."
With that said, Zhao Xianliang asked Li Mu: "Are you particularly busy recently? The TV stations must be vying to interview you, right?"
Li Mu smiled and said: "There were quite a few interview invitations, but I asked Ziwei to turn them down. I was too tired during this period and didn't want to face the media for interviews. Moreover, many things recently have been a bit too high-profile. When things are high-profile, people keep a low profile. It’s better to be better, otherwise I’m always worried that prosperity will inevitably lead to decline.”
Zhao Xianliang nodded in agreement and said: "The fact that the Queen of England awarded you the honor has indeed been reported in the country with extremely high profile for several cycles. It would be better to keep it low-key."
At this point, Zhao Xianliang asked the question he had been waiting for in his heart: "Xiao Mu, what are your plans for the football market? I see that you have made a lot of moves in football recently, and you look very determined."
Li Mu said with a smile: "The main idea is to capture youth football in China and make it a hot spot that is noticed and sought after by the whole society, and then use the resources of Manchester City Club to help cultivate a group of outstanding football players in the country. Youth, I hope they can improve the level of football competition in our country in the future."
Zhao Xianliang nodded slightly and asked: "Then what do you think of the football industry? Do you have any plans to invest money in the football industry as a capital investment?"
Li Mu asked curiously: "Capital investment? Uncle Zhao, what do you mean?"
Zhao Xianliang said: "You just want to take advantage of the current trend of football being popularized by you, throw some money into the football industry, get a batch of resources at a low price, and then wait for the value to increase."
Li Mu shook his head and said: "I don't plan to make this kind of investment. In fact, I don't plan to make money from football. I mainly want to fulfill a wish and help cultivate a group of high-level football talents in our country."
After that, Li Mu added: "If you are interested in investing in this area, you can do it. I can't guarantee anything else, but in the next eight to twelve years, my investment in football will definitely not decrease. In this way, Give it a try and see if our national team can reach the finals again in the next few World Cups. In this case, my introduction of resources and capital investment into the football market will not stop. The future of the football industry should be An industry that will be popular for at least ten years.”
Zhao Xianliang smiled and said: "That's great. I saw that you bought Manchester City Club, and I guessed that you might want to make efforts in the football market. I feel that the football market will definitely be driven by you to develop vigorously, so I want to Free up some of the funds on hand and invest them in the football market."
Li Mu agreed and said: "I personally very much support your decision. The domestic football market and even the entire sports market will soon begin to rise. This is an upwardly mobile industry, and what is rare is that it will maintain its upward trend for a long time." , so you can focus on both long and short lines.”
Zhao Xianliang asked curiously: "Why are you so sure that the sports market will rise in the long term?"
Li Mu said with a smile: "There are many reasons. One is the Olympic Games. The Centenary Olympics has not really exerted its power yet. When the Yanjing Olympics takes place in 2008, Yanjing will definitely attract the attention of the world, and it will also set off a tsunami-like wave across the country. The sports craze is inevitable for economic development. After the per capita GDP reaches a certain height, the entertainment and sports industries will usher in a spurt of growth. This has been confirmed countless times in developed countries. According to our current GDP growth rate It seems that once the 2008 Olympic fever is over, our per capita GDP will usher in an explosion of the entertainment and sports market, and we can almost seamlessly take over the baton of the Olympic Games."
After that, Li Mu added: "In addition to these two points, I believe that our country will also pay more and more attention to the development of national sports. After all, it is related to the physical fitness, health and vitality of a nation. By then, the country should also vigorously support sports. industry and continue to push the sports industry higher.”
Zhao Xianliang thought for a moment and nodded slightly.
He started out in energy and steel, and has a very deep understanding and sensitivity of these two industries. However, his sensitivity in this industry requires him to keep up with policies and international trends.
To a certain extent, he knows more about industries related to politics, but he doesn’t know much about industries that rely purely on the market.
He could only see that Li Mu's acquisition of Manchester City Club would stimulate a wave of market activity in the domestic football market in a short period of time. However, he did not dare to make rash guesses about the development of the entire sports market in the next ten or twenty years. He had to make a conclusion, but after hearing what Li Mu said, he felt that the results of Li Mu's analysis should be at least 80% certain.
At this time, Li Mu reminded him: "Uncle Zhao, after China joins the WTO, the steel market should have great fluctuations. It contains too much unpredictability, and it is complicated. It is not only closely linked to the international situation, but also unilateral. The impact of doctrine is also very large, and the energy industry itself is subject to great fluctuations and there are many uncertain factors. So my personal suggestion is that it is time for you to consider optimizing the industrial structure, if possible. , gradually spread the assets evenly, from energy and steel to other industries that are more stable and closer to market rules. In this way, no matter which industry is subject to fluctuations in the future, your overall industry will not be greatly affected. Influence."
