1977: The beginning of the blind date with the daughter of the king

Chapter 619 I choose the Jews!

Li Changhe actually didn't expect that the Dassault family also made business jets, because the more famous ones in later generations were Gulfstream Aerospace and Bombardier.

He is not really familiar with Dassault Aviation's Falcon series.

However, Gulfstream is in a state of disrepair today, and the company’s operations are average, far from being the well-known brand it became in later generations.

It seems that Bombardier hasn’t started making airplanes yet!
Private jets capable of flying tens of thousands of kilometers were not introduced until the late 1980s and early 1990s.

He hadn't thought of increasing the mileage by adding more fuel to the tank.

If the mileage can really be expanded to more than 9,000 kilometers, then for Li Changhe, it will be possible to fly around the world.

If you are flying to the United States, you can take the Hong Kong-Tokyo-Hawaii-Los Angeles route, and if you are flying to Europe, you can also use Saudi Arabia as a transit point.

For Li Changhe, this is indeed much more convenient.

"Vic, you want two?"

Serge was a little surprised to hear what Li Changhe said.

The reason is simple: the price of the two aircraft is indeed not cheap.

He recommended to Li Changhe the Falcon 50, which Dassault Aviation had just launched two years ago. It is the world's first intercontinental business jet and can achieve a breakthrough in direct flights across the Atlantic from Europe to America.

Today's Falcon 50 can be said to be the world's top business jet, and it has received a lot of orders and is not short of them.

However, Serge was still a little surprised when Li Changhe asked for two planes.

"Vic, if you decide to buy two, I can give you a discount of $500 million for each plane."

"Of course, this is the most basic price. There are often many elements added by the owner inside the business jet, such as your seat, your bed, and various soft decorations in the cabin. These are often quoted based on the owner's needs, and the processing time is not included."

"So I can't guarantee you the final price, but I can guarantee you that I will deliver the two planes to you within one and a half years!"

Serge said seriously at this time.

The base price of five million US dollars is indeed not expensive for the Falcon 50. After all, it is the world's first intercontinental aircraft. Dassault usually quotes a base price of eight million US dollars, and when other material costs and labor costs are taken into account, the selling price of the whole aircraft is usually over ten million US dollars.

If Li Changhe was not of great use to the Dassault family now and Serge was not interested in making friends with him, he would not have offered such a low price.

Not to mention, he also guaranteed Li Changhe a delivery period of one and a half years.

This also means that these two aircraft have been jumping the queue since the beginning of construction and are definitely not built step by step. Otherwise, it would be impossible to have such a short delivery period.

"Mr. Serge, since you said so, I don't need to go to visit. I believe in Dassault's technology. I will just place an order for two aircraft."

"But can I have a request?"

Li Changhe said with a smile at this time.

The price Serge quoted was indeed not high and seemed very sincere. Seeing this, Li Changhe simply ordered two planes. They were only about 10 million US dollars, not much money.

"Oh? Say it!"

Seeing that Li Changhe decided to place the order directly, Serge was also very happy at this moment.

It’s not because he negotiated two orders, but because the trust given by Li Changhe made him feel comfortable, which shows that Victor is a very generous person.

"Look, can my company design the interior of the plane?"

"You know, I own two high-end jewelry and clothing companies. Both Dior and Cartier are well-known brands in France, and they also specialize in aesthetic design."

"So, can my company design the interior decoration of the two aircraft? I think this can also be an experiment for Dassault."

"Private jets are tools for the rich. If they are designed by the world's top designers and made of the best materials, they generally don't mind spending a little more money."

In later generations, private jet manufacturers often cooperated with luxury brands to launch various personalized customizations, but such cooperation is still rare in this era.

After all, many luxury brands are now half-dead, and they rarely have channels to contact higher-level industrial companies such as aerospace companies.

“Personalized customization from a century-old French brand?”

"It does sound like a good idea. I think it's worth considering."

"Vic, your request is of course no problem. In addition, I will bring this proposal to the board of directors for discussion."

If France's century-old court aristocratic luxury culture were applied to private jets, it would indeed allow Dassault to make more money and would also enhance the style of the Falcon business jet.

For him, Li Changhe's proposal was a icing on the cake suggestion to increase his income.

Of course, Li Changhe will not suffer any loss. If this market opens up, Dior and Cartier can also use it to expand their business income and diversify their revenue.

"Hello, Mr. Serge"

"Hello, Mr. Victor"

Just at this moment, another young man who looked not much older than Li Changhe walked over.

"It's Peter!"

"Come here, Vic, let me introduce you. This is Peter, Peter Rothschild, the current director and general manager of the investment department of Rothschild Bank. Like you, he is also a young financial elite."

"Peter, I think you should know Victor."

Serge introduced the two men.

Peter smiled and continued, "Of course, I have admired Victor for a long time. His brilliance in the financial field is what I have always dreamed of."

"Mr. Victor, do you mind if I sit down and chat with you for a while?"

Li Changhe smiled when he heard this: "Of course I don't mind."

"That's great, Peter. You chat with Victor for a while. I'll go take care of some things first."

"Wait a moment, we'll sit down and talk together."

When he saw Peter appear, Serge knew that his mission was over. Peter had come out in person to contact Victor.

Afterwards, Peter sat together with Li Changhe.

"Vic, do you want me to introduce myself?"

After sitting down, Peter took the initiative to speak gently, worried that Li Changhe was not clear about the history of the Rothschild family.

Li Changhe smiled and shook his head: "No, in fact, I know very well the history of the Rothschild family. Your family's history in Europe is too glorious."

Peter shook his head, then said with a wry smile: "It may also be notorious. After all, there are many media outlets that discredit us." Li Changhe smiled but said nothing.

The domestic public's understanding of the Rothschild family originated from Song Hongbing's "Currency War". Later, based on this book, the Rothschild family became the material for various online novels and became the behind-the-scenes family of many urban works, so that its fame became more and more famous.

This also influenced many people born after 95 and 00, making them firmly believe that the Luo family is one of the behind-the-scenes families that controls the world.

However, in Europe and the United States, the anti-Semitism wave has never stopped, and various books and works that expose the inside stories of these families are also very popular.

In his previous life, Li Changhe was surprised at the Jewish control over the media. Why were they so keen on controlling the media's discourse and acquiring so many media outlets?

After his rebirth, Li Changhe found out because of the anti-Semitism wave.

The anti-Semitism wave lasted for hundreds of years, forcing the Jews to continue to attack the media and support their own media mouthpieces.

Of course, their approach has also been deeply rewarded. After all, in the future, they will control most of the world's core media and have a dominant position in the European and American media circles.

However, in the 1980s, the influence of Jews in the media was not that strong, so in Europe and the United States, especially in Europe where the wave of anti-Semitism has been thriving, various anti-Semitic works and works that dig deep into Jewish families emerged one after another.

This is also why Peter laughs at himself.

Of course, Li Changhe would not be fooled by his self-mockery. After all, knowing the future, he knew very well that at least half of the stories described in these anti-Semitic works were true, and the other half were exaggerated or smeared.

Seeing that Li Changhe did not respond, Peter frowned secretly in his heart. Could it be that this guy also has anti-Semitic tendencies?

If this is the case, he may need to think carefully about the cooperation.

He and Serge came out one after another, actually to test Li Changhe's attitude towards the Jews.

See if he has anti-Semitic tendencies. If so, then he is not a friend but an enemy.

"Vic, I have always admired you because I know you are a financial genius."

“Especially in the investment space.”

“Whether it is your gains in the London gold market or your profits in the U.S. oil market, it is enough to prove that your financial sense is far superior to others.”

"Actually, on behalf of Rothschild Bank, I really hope to cooperate with you. I wonder if you are interested, Vic?"

"Perhaps in the United States, the Rothschild family's power is not as strong as Rockefeller's, but in Europe, our family has been passed down for two hundred years, and there are still many areas where we can cooperate with you, Vic."

Peter took the initiative to speak at this time and asked tentatively.

After listening to this, Li Changhe smiled and said, "Peter, I'm curious, what do you mean by cooperation?"

"For example, investment cooperation. Rothschild Bank also has some funds. Vic, we want to let you run it."

"I heard that you have jointly established a venture capital fund with a California consortium in the United States. Are you interested in setting up one with us in Europe?"

Peter said with a smile, while looking at Li Changhe, staring at his expression, trying to see the fluctuations in his expression.

When Li Changhe heard this, a bright smile appeared on his face.

It’s time to show off your acting skills!
"If it's the Rothschild family, I have no problem with that, of course."

"I actually have the idea of ​​looking for partners in Europe, but I haven't had time to do so."

"After all, partners need to be cautious, but if it is the famous Rothschild family, I think this caution can be cancelled."

"Of course I am willing to cooperate with the Rothschild family."

Li Changhe said to Peter very "decisively".

Although Jews have a bad reputation, Li Changhe still needs their help for now, especially in Europe.

Europe is different from the United States in one respect. In terms of attitude toward China, the United States often rejects China openly, while Europe usually rejects China covertly.

Europe's exclusion actually stems from their old-fashioned pride. They are not targeting the University of Tokyo specifically, but look down on any region except Europe and the United States.

To put it bluntly, the arrogance of the old white people is vividly highlighted in Europe. Even though it needs to be put aside in many cases due to the international situation, it still exists in its bones.

In comparison, European Jews are much stronger than these traditional white people. They are able to judge the situation and are keen on speculation, whether it is the Luo family in France, the Wallenberg family in Switzerland, or Israel, which is supported by European Jews.

In short, if Li Changhe were asked to choose a partner in Europe, between traditional white people and Jews, Li Changhe would actually prefer European Jews.

After all, the business attributes of European Jews allow them to put aside their prejudices and talk in many cases, while European whites often refuse to talk or make things difficult for no reason.

Peter was a little surprised to see Li Changhe agreed so readily.

"Vic, I really didn't expect you to agree so readily. I thought you would be influenced by some public opinion and hold a negative prejudice against us."

Peter said to Li Changhe "sincerely" at this time.

Li Changhe smiled and shook his head: "Peter, everyone has his own judgment and his own understanding."

"I am not a politician, nor a member of Congress, nor a traditional European businessman, so I will look at the selection of partners from my own perspective."

"And like I said, the Rothschild family's two hundred years of credibility is enough for me to trust you."

Li Changhe said "flattering" calmly at this time.

After hearing this, Peter was deeply moved.

He is not someone who can be easily fooled. The fact that he can represent the Rothschild family at such a young age is enough to show how outstanding Peter is.

But it was also because of this that he was moved by the "sincerity" on Li Changhe's face.

After all, strictly speaking, the Rothschild family and Victor have never had any intersection, and this is the first time the two sides have met, and there is no interest involved between the two.

Even in terms of wealth, Peter didn't think Victor had any demands on the Luo family.

Putting aside these reasons, the fact that Li Changhe could still say these words "sincerely" shows that the other party really thought so in his heart.

Otherwise, why would he praise the Luo family so much for no reason?
"Vic, to be honest, you are also a friend that the Rothschild family values ​​very much. In fact, I am here today on behalf of the family."

"The Rothschild family wants to establish a deep friendship with you, Victor. As you know, our family has always liked to invest in [friends], even if many [friends] have now become our competitors."

"But the ancestral teachings of the Rothschild family have never changed."

"Vic, there is something I should explain to you. The invitation that the Dassault family gave you today was actually sent by me on behalf of the Dassault family."

Peter smiled and spoke to Li Changhe, and began to appropriately reveal his purpose for today.

Li Changhe showed a look of surprise "just right".
