After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 310 The culprit for the disappearance of the Amazon rainforest
"I'm sorry, it's my fault. I bought it, and it caused King Ning to fall from grace."

A lifeless floor line lasted until the closing at three o'clock in the afternoon.

The decline was -10.05%, closing price was 54.23 yuan, and the market value was 946.34 billion yuan.

The Ning Wang calendar only existed for two hours, and the Ning De era took only a day and a half from joining to leaving the trillion-dollar club.

"Fall, fall some more."

Lu Liang withdrew his gaze. Regardless of whether he or the fund held the same stocks, all the stocks they held were in a locked state.

The ups and downs now have nothing to do with him.

A bigger drop would be a good thing. After all, last year, Ningde Times' total revenue was only 189 billion yuan, with a profit of 43 billion yuan, which is not worthy of such a high market value.

Lu Liang focused his attention on the car models on the table. There were 13 in total, 8 of which were sedans and 5 were SUVs.

After selecting from more than a thousand drawings, 13 car models were finally selected through 3D printing.

Lu Liang rubbed his head and suddenly felt troubled.

Wang Xiaofeng asked him to pick out two models each, and then he could customize the car shell, slowly adjust the chassis, and conduct various tests such as safety and wind resistance.

Lu Liang felt that they were all okay and the looks were also nice. According to his original idea, it would be best to have them all together.

But before he could even finish his words, Wang Xiaofeng rejected the idea, saying that their team was unable to test so many cars simultaneously.

Two sedans and two SUVs are already the upper limit, and in subsequent research and development, we must also distinguish the priorities.

Lu Liang thought for a long time and found it difficult to make a choice, so he picked up the phone decisively: "Yifan, 25-30 years old, help me find ten men and ten women in the company, and have them all come to my office."

He priced his first car at around RMB 30, targeting young people with some money.

Instead of racking your brains, it’s better to find consumers directly. It just so happens that all the people in the company are young middle-class people.

In less than ten minutes, Zhuo Yifan came in with 20 people, including Chen Jinchun.

She smiled at Lu Liang. In terms of age, she was not qualified, but in terms of status, she was employee No. 003 in the company, managing the company's Douyin account with tens of millions of followers.

Zhuo Yifan smiled bitterly. Although he was Lu Liang's secretary, his work number was outside the top 100.

He didn't dare to mess with the big sister of 003.

Lu Liang laughed: "Yifan, close the door, Jinchun, put away everyone's communication devices."

"Okay, Mr. Lu." Chen Jinchun was very excited. He held a small basket and collected his colleagues' mobile phones and electronic watches.

"Each person has two hours to rate these model cars, and give at least two advantages and two disadvantages in terms of appearance."

Lu Liang asked Zhuo Yifan to hand out an A4 paper to everyone. He glanced at his watch and said, "It's : now. Start counting."

After that, everyone gathered around the display stand, occasionally picking up the model car to examine it carefully and taking notes.

Everyone looked excited. If nothing unexpected happens, their decision will determine Tianxing Technology's first car.

It is also a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for them, as people aged 25-30 are young people who have just entered the society.

This was the most direct time they faced Lu Liang, and who knows, this might even leave a good impression on the boss.

Chen Jinchun's treatment was too extraordinary. He only graduated from a second-tier university, but he had almost unlimited power in the company.

This was largely because she and Tang Caidie were part of the same batch of employees who were interviewed and recruited personally by Lu Liang.

It was also because of this relationship that before the company registered a Douyin account, Chen Jinchun was a little behind the company's pace.

Lu Liang also supported her, gave her opportunities, and gave her time to allow her to gradually explore her role in the company until she became the company's external image ambassador.

Among the hundreds of employees that followed, only "close ministers" such as Sun Yutao, Zhang Jingwen, Chaozhuo Yifan, etc., had the privilege of being interviewed in person.

For most of the others, Lu Liang might not even remember their names even after they have been working for more than a year.

The boss can't remember the name.
Promotion and salary increase are naturally a long way off.

They cherish this opportunity and dare not be careless.

Lu Liang was contented, drinking tea and watching Douyin.

Instead of worrying about it yourself, it is better to let others worry about it, and then just count the ones with the highest comprehensive scores.

What he didn't expect was that the two models he had been optimistic about were not among the top four. The comments on the shortcomings were almost unanimous, saying that the lines of the models were too sharp and a bit too high-profile.

"Yifan, Jinchun, please stay for a while."

Lu Liang doubted himself, called them over, and took out the two models he liked the most: "Are these two cars really that eye-catching?"

Zhuo Yifan hesitated, feeling a little embarrassed to say: "Um...Mr. Lu, it's actually okay."

Chen Jinchun blurted out without thinking: "Of course it's flamboyant, just like the will-o'-the-wisp of the car industry."

"Ghost fire?"

Lu Liang's chest was blocked by a mouthful of blood. He looked at Chen Jinchun, who had a silly look on his face, waved his hand and smiled bitterly, "Go out."

He called back 20 employees and re-evaluated the situation.

The ratings of Lu Liang's two favorite cars are both in the middle and lower levels, and sometimes they don't even pass the passing line.

He looked through a pile of evaluation reports, selected the four with the highest comprehensive scores, sent them to Wang Xiaofeng, and sighed: "I am old, and my aesthetic taste cannot keep up with the times."

……

On Wednesday, Ningde Times hit the limit down and broke the board. The stock price turned green during the trading session, which was suspected to be due to the entry of hot money, and once again launched an attack on the market value of 100 billion yuan.

But Lu Liang was no longer in the mood to pay attention to it, because April was coming to an end and the first quarter data were coming out.

This April, WM Motor launched EX5, NIO launched es8, Wuling launched Kaijie, Ideal launched ONE, Xiaopeng launched G3, BYD launched Tang, and Tesla continued to increase production.

Various forces are taking turns to make their debuts, and there are new car launches every now and then. Stimulated by various brands, more and more people are buying electric cars and becoming owners of new energy vehicles.

Especially for taxis on the road, at least three out of ten have been replaced with new energy vehicles.

For drivers who make a profit from this, whether it looks good or not, and how many functions it has, are secondary; saving money is the key.

The BYD Qin's fare is as low as less than 0.1 yuan per kilometer, making it a magical car in the eyes of taxi drivers.

The data for the first quarter was also quite impressive. The total sales volume of the new energy vehicle market reached 33 units, a year-on-year increase of 91%. The total sales volume for the whole year is expected to exceed 120 million units.

As a result, "Lu's algorithm" became a hot search.

Lu Liang said at the Ningde Times roadshow that it was 60 last year, 120 million this year, and 240 million next year.

Whether the target of 240 million units can be reached next year is not discussed for now, but the goal of 120 million units this year can be achieved with a high probability.

It is just the beginning of May, and the golden September and October in the automotive industry have not yet arrived, when sales will explode.

Now joint venture car companies, domestic car companies, and imported car companies can no longer sit still. Last year, the total market sales of fuel vehicles was 2359 million.

In the second year of the official development of new energy vehicles, they will occupy 5% of the market share. What if this happens a few more times?

BAIC Group was the first to join the battlefield, established the new energy sub-brand Polar Fox, and signed a strategic cooperation agreement with Xiaomi to empower Polar Fox.

GAC Group followed closely and established its new energy sub-brand Aion, although they also supported Xiaopeng Motors.

But Xiaopeng is not self-supporting after all, so he is not close to the family. He even asks Haima to do the OEM, which directly shows that he has a rebellious nature.

Luxury brands such as BBA also quickly followed suit, saying they would launch their own hybrid or pure electric models.

BMW said that in 2027, its Munich plant will stop producing fuel vehicles and only produce pure electric vehicles.

Mercedes-Benz says that by 2030, 50% of its models sold will be pure electric vehicles.

Audi said that it will stop producing existing fuel vehicles in 2033 and fully electrify them in 2050.

They are very reluctant to join in the development of new energy because BBA is the absolute king in the field of fuel vehicles, but if they enter the new energy field, they will be penniless and lose the advantages of internal combustion engines.

But there was no way, A Zhong used magic to attack them and raised the banner of carbon neutrality and environmentalism.

If they do not follow up and agree, at the very least, they will be considered unenvironmental, and at the most, they will be the culprit for the disappearance of the Amazon rainforest.

Political correctness is not very popular in the University of Tokyo, but it has become popular in Europe and the United States. I don’t know how much money BMW and Mercedes-Benz have been fined for this.

Ah Zhong also learned magic, so even if they wanted to disobey, they had no choice but to join the wave of new energy.
