After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future
Chapter 623 - 615: Technology Can’t Be Above All

Chapter 623: Chapter 615: Technology Can’t Be Above All

"You all seem pretty free, why not get familiar with the crowd."

Lu Liang glanced at this group of people, spontaneously deciding that they should all open Weibo and Douyin accounts.

It’s best to clearly state their positions in the company, lest those pesky netizens curse him whenever there’s an issue.

Although he is indeed the boss, the company is so big, it’s impossible for him to cover everything.

There are always things he can’t attend to, or that never even land on his desk, which these people handle midway.

If grievances have a source, debts have owners; accountability needs to be directed at the right people. Lu Liang stands at the bow facing the wind and waves daily; it’s about time he sat back in the cockpit and enjoyed the ride.

"Mr. Lu, maybe we shouldn’t. I’m not great on camera."

Qin Siyuan glanced at Wang Xiaofeng, blaming him for eating popcorn and watching the show, now caught up in this mess himself.

"Technology shouldn’t be above the people. As business managers, you should be the same."

Lu Liang restrained his smile, his face gradually turning serious, knowing no enterprise can last forever.

Like ancient emperors, they claim to live forever, but only for a decade, a few decades, at most three hundred years.

A few hundred years is too distant; by then his bones would be dust, no need to think so far ahead.

Lu Liang is 33 this year; he estimates living another 60 years shouldn’t be an issue. Within those 60 years, he wonders how many enterprises will rise, or fall.

He just hopes that day will come a little later,

even later, and later still.

So they must differentiate themselves from other companies.

Just like some time ago, when Lu Liang was at the company, he met a director named Lu Chuan.

He asked a question he had always been curious about: did directors know they were making flop movies?

Lu Liang was surprised then because Lu Chuan’s face turned very unpleasant, as if insulted, clearly unaware he was making flop movies.

He said every movie was his effort and passion, like "The Banquet" or "Nine-story Demon Tower," but audiences just didn’t appreciate them now. He even cited "A Chinese Odyssey" by Zhou Xingxing, convincing time would prove him right.

Lu Chuan’s expression was earnest and serious, not appearing to be lying, seemingly genuinely believing his films were masterpieces.

After he left, Tang Caide mentioned,

Lu Chuan wasn’t lying; his words were honest.

Because she had worked as a producer on many film projects, in any production, as long as the producer and investors didn’t interfere, the director held absolute power.

Whether it’s the assistant director, general affairs manager, or even actors, as long as salaries were paid, how the film looked mattered little to them. When directors sought their opinions, naturally, they offered pleasing feedback.

Even if encountering challenging individuals picking faults, directors would refuse to heed, claiming they lacked appreciation, and others echoed this sentiment.

Over time, directors would only hear praises, choosing to boast, eventually convincing themselves they’re creating timeless art, dismissing flop films as merely an audience issue.

If an entire crew operated like this, how much more so for an ultra-large corporation approaching five thousand employees?

Lu Liang knew his limits, understood what had made him rich, so he always asked humbly in unfamiliar fields.

But these people before him, they didn’t understand.

The biggest difference between finance and real industries is that Lu Liang couldn’t do everything comprehensively.

In the financial market, he alone could lead over a hundred people, fighting battles worth billions, tens of billions, or even trillions of US Dollars, maintaining ease.

But in the real manufacturing industry, it’s not just about one person like Lu Liang; take finance, legal affairs, human resources, logistics, procurement, a dozen departments big and small. Any department’s issue affects the whole.

Hence, it wasn’t sufficient for Lu Liang alone to lower his stance; Wang Xiaofeng, Hu Weiwei, Qin Siyuan must also lower theirs, approaching humbly.

"Mr. Lu, we’ll go open personal accounts later. What do you need us to do now?"

Wang Xiaofeng took a moment to think, quickly understanding Lu Liang’s intent, showing great compliance.

Moreover, he had his own private agenda; becoming famous wasn’t a bad thing; should there be a chance to venture solo, fame would be his prime asset.

Previously, not a single Tianxing had been delivered, nor established market reputation, yet preorders exceeded ten thousand.

Ultimately, it’s all because of Lu Liang’s effect as a celebrity.

With almost a hundred million followers online, even if only 0.01% believe him, that’s still ten thousand people.

These days, three can constitute a gang committing offenses, let alone ten thousand, easily rallying under a banner of righteousness.

Seeing Wang Xiaofeng start to act, Hu Weiwei and Qin Siyuan followed suit.

Though temporarily confused, they figured with Wang Xiaofeng being smart and enthusiastic, following him couldn’t go wrong.

"Assistant Chen, remember to photograph me well later, just a notch below Mr. Lu will do."

Qin Siyuan grinned broadly, showing neither resistance nor reluctance, even volunteering for camera duties.

Xiao Chen looked puzzled, glancing at Lu Liang, baffled why a mere apology video suddenly drew such eagerness.

"Let’s continue." Lu Liang chuckled softly, without explaining, only feeling increasingly fond of Xiao Chen.

Just a simple affection,

Assistant Chen should be the only one who is of the right age, has nothing to do with him, looks decent, but Lu Liang has no intention of sleeping with her.

"Then it’s Ex, continue~"

Assistant Chen tilted her head, puzzled.

Fortunately, for things she can’t figure out, she has always been too lazy to think about them, and over time, she just forgets it, as if it never happened.

At two o’clock in the afternoon, Tianxing Automobile updated a video.

The cover is a half-body shot of Lu Liang, and as a born flow magnet, within a mere ten minutes, the views have exceeded one million.

A one-minute short video,

The content can basically be summed up in one sentence.

Lu Liang has seen the online public opinion, so he has come to explain the solution, along with compensation and an apology.

"Humble Little Lu, begging for forgiveness online?"

"I miss Liangzi’s rebellious look from before."

"It has to be Liangzi, who has been steadfast in believing customers are gods since getting into car manufacturing."

"Why is it only before the sixth? Are car owners after the sixth not gods?"

"Blind? It’s a full moon gift, surely you have to wait till full moon to deliver."

"This little bag, seems to have decent quality?"

"If it’s not a knock-off, this material should be used for luxury or top A products."

With a video, Lu Liang and top management of Tianxing Automobile all appeared to apologize to consumers for the insufficient production capacity.

An incident, resolved invisibly.

At the same time, Lu Liang updated his Weibo and Douyin again.

"If there’s a problem, find them, can you stop scolding me?"

One sentence, followed by @ mentioning seven or eight people: General Manager Wang Xiaofeng, Deputy General Manager Hu Weiwei, Technical Director Qin Siyuan, Safety Engineering Department Liao Jie, Software Design Department Li Jiahui...

Everyone’s profile clearly listed the main job responsibilities, for example, Wang Xiaofeng is responsible for market sales, Hu Weiwei is responsible for after-sales related, main person in charge of car terminal is Li Jiahui, body-related responsible is Liao Jie.

Lu Liang almost wrote down accountability, yet netizens always tend to focus off-topic.

"Liangzi, do you remember your billionaire status? Remember you guard the top ten of the wealth list? Can you have some decency?"

"’Can you stop scolding me?’ Damn, my heart broke, they say factories temper people, to me it’s just torment, Liangzi hailed by international markets as the financial ripper, has turned out like this now?"

"This sentence sounds too humble, doesn’t it?"

"Liangzi, if you change this avatar, I’ll immediately order a Tianxuan."

Douyin recently updated a new feature, now you can leave photo comments in the comment section.

A netizen posted a photo from last year’s NIO conference, where Lu Liang was directly called Liangzi by Li Bing’s wife, face turning blue, but Lei Jun was holding back laughter.

The related comments instantly received thousands of likes from netizens, promoting every reckless dream, everyone’s responsibility.

Lu Liang happened to see it and commented: "Friend, can you use a more handsome one? After all, being handsome is a lifelong thing."

The commented netizen was thrilled, reposted a photo, replied: "Liangzi, how about this one?"

It’s also a conference photo taken, not long after birth, at the Lotus conference, where Liu Qing announced the price, the camera just captured Lu Liang’s expression, three parts contempt, three parts nonchalance, and four parts unparalleled confidence.

Indeed very handsome, Lu Liang’s usual event appearance as a sign of respect usually involves a suit and slicked-back hair.

Old Ma’s conduct, even online has quite a few fans for looks, let alone Lu Liang’s slight handsome qualities, backed by billionaire status, can easily surpass Hu Ge and substitute Yanzi.

Lu Liang chuckled, directly changed the avatar: "Changed it."

"So fast? Doesn’t it need system review?"

"Fun fact, I’m co-founder of Douyin."

After sending this message, Lu Liang didn’t pay further attention, occasionally interacting playfully, treating it like a mini-game.

However, his interaction with this netizen, rapidly blazed across the internet with Thunder’s speed.

The reason being too relatable, a billionaire boss, renowned global capital giant, not unlike countless ordinary netizens.

Those unaware, might think it’s some wealthy second-generation trying to show off yet not very smart.

As a result, Tianxuan’s sales,

welcomed another surge.

Competitors learned, and fell into silence.

Are they missing something? Spending so much on marketing, not as effective as Lu Liang’s casual small act.
