After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future

The following morning, cars numbered 197, 198, 199, and 196 were successively rolled off the line.

Number 196 was tested personally by Lu Liang, while the others were given to Hu Weiwei, Wang Xiaofeng, and Zhang Peiqiang.

In the next half month, each of the four cars needs to run at least three thousand kilometers for testing, and Lu Liang is also ready to start his self-driven journey.

To maintain the mystery of the design, the test cars were covered with an ugly black film, resembling a waterproof tricolor canvas.

However, from the silhouette, it can still be seen that this is a low-chassis coupe, different from a sedan.

"Mr. Lu, is this okay?" Wang Xiaofeng frowned.

The first coupe is an absolute hype, but now exposing it early for testing feels somewhat counterproductive to him.

Lu Liang smiled and asked, "Xiaofeng, do you think a nude girl is more attractive or a girl in lingerie?"

Just like a young lady dressed in sexy lingerie posing right in front of you, as long as the clothes are not off, the desire will continue to build.

Now, the coupe with the black film is like a young lady dressed in sexy lingerie; as long as it is not fully exposed for a day, people will anticipate the beautiful scenery underneath.

Wang Xiaofeng chuckled silently; Boss Lu's metaphors are always so simple, blunt, and apt.

"Mr. Lu, I'm ready."

Chen Jinchun suddenly poked her head out from behind Lu Liang, carrying a small backpack, her smile as bright as a flower, just like an elementary school student preparing for a spring outing.

"Check the in-car cameras, make sure nothing goes wrong with the live stream later."

Lu Liang smiled and waved over Li Jiahui and Liao Jie: "Liao Jie, you know him, this is Li Jiahui, same age as you, you can call him Jiahui."

Self-driving group of four, each has their own role.

He is responsible for bragging, Xiao Chen for playing around, Liao Jie for vehicle hardware, and Li Jiahui for car software.

"Hello, Jiahui~" Chen Jinchun's cheerful demeanor matched her joyous appearance, always greeting others with a smile.

"You...hello." Li Jiahui stuttered shyly like a boy in the throes of first love, managing only a simple greeting.

Tianxing Investment's Douyin account has 22 million followers, at least a quarter of whom are husband fans of Chen Jinchun.

He is one of them, having silently followed Chen Jinchun since long ago; she's a cute and cheerful girl whose face is always filled with smiles.

It seems she can heal hearts.

Chen Jinchun suddenly laughed, her laughter like wind chimes. She took a camera holder from her bag and stuck it to the front windshield: "Jiahui, come over and help me check if the angle is right."

"Oh, okay."

Li Jiahui blankly agreed and joined Xiao Chen in setting up the car's facilities as Liao Jie conducted the final pre-departure inspection.

Lu Liang stepped aside and called Sun Yutao: "I'm going out for a long trip later, at least for a week."

"Early April, pay extra attention to foreign trade news. If the friction escalates, immediately short the RMB and go long on London gold."

Today is March 28, and four days later, the offshore RMB will fall below 6.8 for the first time; London gold will break through 1700 points.

Both messages indicate that the upcoming international situation won't improve but will further escalate.

Cars need to be made, money needs to be earned; Lu Liang is counting on the private equity fund's yields to sustain this car company.

Liu Pei asked him for money again.

Tianxing Technology still has 1.5 billion cash flow in the account but owes China Construction 3.685 billion yuan.

After the last financing of 1.8 billion US Dollars and covering line store expenses and line production final payments, there is only this much left.

"Mr. Lu, should we leverage?" Sun Yutao asked.

Lu Liang pondered briefly and answered, "Not for the time being."

From April 3 to July 5, during this period, the RMB will gradually devalue until it falls below 6.9; London gold will also break through 1750 US Dollars.

The two should respond to each other, one slowly falls, one slowly rises; such slow markets aren't suitable for leverage, he plans to do mid-term trades fully loaded.

Seeing Lu Liang end the call and return, Chen Jinchun's face was filled with excitement: "Mr. Lu, we're all set."

Lu Liang looked at Liao Jie and Li Jiahui, who both nodded. He laughed and said, "Then let's go live."

"OK."

At nine in the morning, Tianxing Automobile's official website suddenly started a live stream on Douyin.

Though part of Tianxing System, it was established later than others, with the number of followers differing by twentyfold on the accounts.

Nonetheless, having over a million followers is mainly thanks to Xiao Chen, tirelessly diverting traffic using his main account.

Once the broadcast started, only a few hundred people rushed in.

"Xiao Chen using the public account personally again?"

"Wow, it's actually Liangzi?"

The message about Lu Liang going live spread quickly.

Friends told one another, and within a short time, the number of live viewers successively broke through four digits, five digits, nearing six digits.

It's not that Lu Liang's charm is invincible; it's somewhat like watching a rare animal. If it were Old Ma or Little Ma going live, the numbers would be even greater.

"Hello everyone, good morning."

Lu Liang held a bun in one hand and soy milk in the other, eating as he spoke: "If I have time in the morning, I prefer to cook an egg into the soy milk, making egg flower soy milk, and dunk some fried dough sticks. Sadly, there's something today, so I've got to be quick. What do you normally eat in the morning?"

An ordinary greeting resulted in responses: "Mr. Lu, we usually start our mornings in hardship."

"Yes, yes, yes, not just in the morning, during lunch, in the evening, there is never-ending hardship every day."

Lu Liang chuckled silently. "If you can eat less bitterness, try to eat less; if you can avoid it, then avoid it. If there's no other choice, don't treat it as a hardening process—bitterness is bitterness and not worth glorifying."

His words struck a chord with the viewers.

They can joke about themselves but don't wish for others to mock them or preach to them.

Years passed, though now a billionaire, Liangzi remains the same Liangzi.

Seemingly above them, but actually right at their side, never preaching that youth requires suffering.

"Why are we live? Planning to test the new car's performance and play travel streamer for a few days."

Lu Liang pointed the camera at the three: "Xiao Chen, you all know, so no introduction needed."

"These two are our company's young tech talents, Li Jiahui and Liao Jie. One handles car software, the other vehicle hardware."

"Say hi to the friends in the live stream."

Both laughed awkwardly, waving to the camera.

Being ordinary people, they have a natural resistance to cameras.

"Unexpectedly, they'll be our company's two pillars in the future."

Lu Liang entered the driver's seat: "After the new car release on the 28th next month, I'll have them start a Weibo. If there are any problems or suggestions, feel free to let them know."

Li Jiahui and Liao Jie exchanged glances, and they each saw the bitterness in the other's eyes; Boss Lu assigned them new tasks again.

Lu Liang is pesky like that; sometimes he flies by the seat of his pants, launching surprise assignments without any preparation.

"What's our test destination?"

Lu Liang looked at Xiao Chen, who laughed foolishly and raised his hand in celebration, exclaiming: "Tianxing Tianxing, navigate to Potala Palace."

"Okay, navigating to Potala Palace for you now, a total of 3814 kilometers, estimated 52 hours..."

With those words, the live stream room exploded.

"Self-driving to Lhasa?"

"Whoa, Liangzi is really playing extreme!"

"Already a billionaire and dares to play like this?"

The news spread quickly and made it to trending everywhere online.

They all thought Lu Liang personally testing the car might stroll around Su City, at most leaving the Yangtze River Delta.

Electric cars aren't safe, prone to spontaneous combustion; no big boss ever wishes to risk their life, even Old Wang from BYD drives a Benz as his daily ride.

Also, like Little Ma from Tencent; the technology for laser correction is so advanced, yet he still wears glasses.

It's definitely not because he likes them, because anyone who's worn glasses knows exactly how bothering wearing glasses daily can be; ultimately, it's fear of accidents happening.

A wise man won't stand under a dangling wall, even a slight rich person will be especially cautious of their lives, since the most daunting pain is having money unspent and living gone.

But Lu Liang goes so wild, self-testing the electric car, and directly aiming for Lhasa?

With a trip of over 3000, nearly 4000 kilometers, any accident occurring during it seems very normal.
