After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future
Chapter 586 - 579: Cooperation, Checks and Balances, Apprehension

Chapter 586: Chapter 579: Cooperation, Checks and Balances, Apprehension

At four thirty in the afternoon, the 90-minute launch event came to an end.

The Tianxing Automobile APP logged into the Android and Apple clients in the last ten minutes.

Lu Liang demonstrated how to use it on stage, while the software downloads skyrocketed from zero.

By the time he bowed and left the stage, the total downloads had surpassed 100,000.

"Congratulations Mr. Lu, the new car launch was a big success."

Lei Jun smiled and followed Lu Liang to the adjacent racetrack.

They had just mentioned that after the launch, they should have a proper race.

A race of speed and passion.

"The performance seems successful, but I wonder about the sales."

Lu Liang smirked, looking at the four big bosses behind Lei Jun, two looking calm, and two with gloomy faces.

Shen Hui couldn’t help but say, "Mr. Lu, it’s not that we have issues with your company’s strategy, but you could at least give us a little mental preparation."

Just moments ago, upon knowing he was on-site, many friends sent him messages hoping he would mention it to Lu Liang.

Some things exist because they’re reasonable, like water, too clear and often unsuitable for fish to live in.

Lu Liang squinted, speaking slowly, "Mr. Shen, is this your opinion, or someone else’s?"

Shen Hui felt uneasy and quickly explained, "Not me, I have no opinion."

Lu Liang asked coldly, "Then whose opinion is it?"

Shen Hui stayed silent, Lu Liang stared at him, then suddenly laughed, "Tell them to bring it on. What kind of waves can cowards who don’t even dare show their names stir?"

Shen Hui smiled bitterly, continuing his silence.

Lu Liang smiled casually, as if nothing was wrong, introducing while walking, "Everyone, this way please, we specially invited a French master to design it. Occasionally experiencing a surge of adrenaline under safe conditions is quite nice."

He didn’t make things difficult for Shen Hui, unlike Meng Changkun.

Back then, he was young and impetuous, now older by a few years, he knows Shen Hui is just a messenger, targeting him is beneath him.

The other side didn’t even dare expose their names, even if capable, their strength is likely limited, fearing he might target them.

Like when the charity foundation was established, touching those people’s interests, they claimed it was severe, yet nothing happened.

Today they took five cities, tomorrow ten cities, and then slept peacefully in one night, this saying applies to the elder as well.

He couldn’t be forced to submit before, and even less now.

The worst case, they each go their own way,

From Japan and Korea, Europe and America, he can roam freely,

See who will fall last.

With increasing experience and status, Lu Liang’s mindset also changed gradually, realizing that blindly acquiescing never garners empathy, only endless demands.

Only cooperation, balance, and fear will elicit empathy due to gains and losses.

Seeking peace through war yields no war, seeking peace through peace loses peace.

So many valiant generals fight their whole lives, yet don’t understand this principle, foolish loyalty, ending as political sacrifices.

Lu Liang strode towards the racetrack, followed by many media reporters and spectators eager for gossip.

"Tsk-tsk, Mr. Lu is getting more stylish."

Li Bing smiled, narrowing his eyes, believing that the stronger Lu Liang gets, the more his decision to ally with him proves correct.

Thousands of Tianxing Automobile employees drink soup with Lu Liang; given their relationship, him taking a bite of meat isn’t excessive.

"Mr. Shen, let’s go, Mr. Lu wasn’t upset with you at all." Li Bing laughed as he said.

"Mr. Li, please go first." Shen Hui smiled bitterly, looking not happy, as if about to crumble.

Li Xiang glanced over, discerning the meaning in Shen Hui’s bitter smile, sighed softly, "Relax, Mr. Lu is ultimately different from us."

He could empathize with Shen Hui’s feelings, as being ignored feels worse than being targeted or opposed.

The dignified head of Weima Automobile, with domestic sales second only to BYD, his company valued at tens of billions of US Dollars.

Yet Lu Liang treated him as a mere messenger, perhaps without malice, simply felt unnecessary to target him.

But from Shen Hui’s perspective, it was a great insult, definitely doing psychological preparation before relaying the message.

Even anticipated potentially offending Lu Liang, or facing a joint boycott by seventeen suppliers of the Tianxing System.

Prepared to risk it all, but Lu Liang simply uttered oh and moved on, that would break anyone.

"I know, but..."

Shen Hui smiled bitterly but didn’t continue his thought.

Meanwhile, Lu Liang and Lei Jun both changed into racing suits, arriving at the professional-grade racetrack.

"Ladies and gentlemen, now on stage is the master of Tianxing, Liang~Lu!"

"His opponent is the warrior from Xiaomi Group, Jun~Lei!"

"Reporter ahead, Xiao Chen continues to bring you updates~"

Such a bustling event, how could Chen Jinchun miss it; she raised her selfie stick, eagerly rushing over.

Tang Caide looked helpless, sighing, "You know, if Mr. Lu finds out, forget about buying a house this year."

Xiao Chen originally planned to buy a house in Modu last year, but somehow offended Lu Liang, got her 600,000 bonus deducted multiple times, and her plan failed.

However, this girl just doesn’t learn; now she dares to play like this again, although this year’s bonus would be larger, she suspects she won’t last until the end of the year.

"No worries~ I got Mr. Hu’s authorization, using Tianxing Automobile’s account."

Xiao Chen smiled with eyes narrowed, looking very pleased.

Hu Weiwei nodded, smiling, "Miss Chen has great viewer affinity, if not worried about Mr. Lu’s reluctance, I’d really want to invite her to our company as a brand ambassador."

Viewer affinity is a quite elusive phenomenon, often regarded as a sort of metaphysics.

Because it involves the audience’s first impression of stars or public figures.

This impression is often based on intuition and subconscious information capture.

Xiao Chen is such a girl, if you occasionally come across her videos, even knowing the plot’s progression, you’d want to watch it again.

Otherwise, folks wouldn’t say Lu Liang found a gem, though she hollers all day, annually bringing Lu Liang invisible profits absolutely not less than hundreds of millions.

Such a conversion can radiate out to self-media accounts, corporate products, and even external perceptions of enterprise brand image.

Tang Caide glanced at the time, about half an hour had passed, curiously asked, "How many orders have been locked now?"

To preorder the Sky Star·Tianshu requires at least a 6,000 deposit, only after paying the deposit is it considered locked.

Only after locking the order does production in the workshop start.

These days, she’s been staying in Su City,

Being surrounded by this, she learned quite a bit.

"As of five in the afternoon, locked orders amounted to 18,500 units."

"Wow~ Almost 20,000 locked orders?"

Xiao Chen exclaimed, her voice also echoing into the live broadcast room, heard by tens of thousands of netizens.

"???"

"What do you mean?"

"Don’t tell me, 20,000 orders locked in half an hour?"

"20,000 units? Liangzi’s gonna ascend to the heavens!"

"Is it so surprising? I’ve ordered a Promax, plus a Pro, barely over a hundred, bought to give to a little sweetheart."

"Above, rich brother V50, show your strength."

"Bro, PM you."

Watching the comments in the live chat, Xiao Chen realized her slip of the tongue, quickly saying, "I said nothing, and you remembered nothing."

Because she saw Hu Weiwei’s expression was a bit off, an event worth being happy about wasn’t joy, clearly indicating an issue.

Tang Caide gave her a look, strolled with Hu Weiwei to chat idly, "Mr. Hu, did something happen?"

"Many locked orders, but returns are more, almost choosing configuration one moment, canceling the next."

Hu Weiwei frowned deeply, this is what concerns her, fearing rivals’ malicious sabotage.

Tang Caide looked over at the venue, preparing for departure, Lu Liang was extravagant, starting the jumping mode.

The whole car began shaking, the intensity no less than a pair of young and strong men and women during high-intensity exercise.

She laughed silently, couldn’t help but ask, "Does Mr. Lu know about this?"

"We just discovered, haven’t had the chance to tell him."

Just then, Wang Xiaofeng and Zhuo Yifan also arrived, Zhuo Yifan said, "Went to investigate, temporarily ruled out malicious orders from peers."

"Ruling out so quickly, isn’t it a bit rash?"

Tang Caide frowned deeply, though she wasn’t employed at Tianxing Automobile, she hoped Lu Liang’s new venture would be smooth.

Zhuo Yifan smiled, "Mr. Tang, Sister Xiao Chen should know more about this."

He called Xu Jiawei over, "Jia Wei, go help Sister Xiao Chen with the live stream for a while, have her come over."

Xu Jiawei nodded, being the third-generation secretary, Zhuo Yifan the second generation, in a sense his mentor.

"Mr. Tang, Mr. Wang, Mr. Hu, hello, I didn’t cause trouble, did I?" Xiao Chen hesitated, like a quail.

"It’s not your fault." Zhuo Yifan said with a smile, explaining the event’s context and his analysis.

"Then they’re probably just posers, just placing an order, taking a screenshot, and then deceiving girls online."

Xiao Chen suddenly understood, just saw many similar comments in the live chat.

Probably many girls got tricked, she asked, "Anything I can help with?"
