After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 311 Doubts
"NIO, Ideal, Xpeng, WM Motor, Arcfox, Aion, Nezha, Hengchi..."

Lu Liang counted carefully and found that there are 28 new energy brands established in the past two years, and there are unknown number of them waiting and watching.

It is expected that the number will exceed 40 next year, but according to the industry's 40's rule, only about 8 companies will remain out of the .

Just like the early mobile phone brands such as Gionee, Tianyu, Coolpad, Blue Magic, etc., they were either swallowed up or went bankrupt.

The automotive industry is even more cruel, because BBA's basic base is still very stable, and BYD and Tesla will occupy at least two places.

Therefore, in the end, there may be only five or six left out of the 40 domestic brands, which is a perfect example of the law of survival of the fittest.

"If a new car is released, it must be a hit at once to avoid short-term iterations and being dragged into the melee."

Lu Liang whispered to himself: "Be slow, don't be impatient."

The 17th model of NIO SE8 has just been opened for pre-order, and Li Bing is already preparing for the 18th model, which is expected to be released this fall.

No car owner wants to buy an outdated product. The release of the new es8 is bound to backstab the owners of the old models.

With two generations of updates a year, and the new models are better, owners of old models will probably feel that they have been taken advantage of.

Li Bing also knows this, but technology is upgrading too fast, and if they don’t keep up, they will not be competitive in the market.

Ideal also faces this dilemma, but Li Xiang chose to postpone the iteration to avoid backstabbing old car owners.

After all, NIO ES8 has been released for more than half a month, and due to its high price, the number of pre-orders is only 500 units.

In contrast, Ideal ONE has received a total of 1500 orders, with 100 units delivered in succession, and has a very good market reputation.

With more than 300,000 yuan, you can buy a refrigerator, a TV and a large sofa that once belonged to luxury cars worth millions. It is deeply loved by some e-commerce bosses.

E-commerce is a new industry and online shop owners are young. Unlike the older generation who only recognize BBA as luxury cars, they are very receptive to new brands and new things.

At this time, Zhuo Yifan knocked on the door and came in: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Wu and Teacher Wu Jing are here."

"Well, I see."

Lu Liang nodded slightly and followed Zhuo Yifan to the reception room next door.

The total investment of "Wolf Warrior 2" is 2.3 million yuan, of which Tianxing Investment accounts for 52%. Wu Jing came back from Africa a few years ago and thought about coming to visit the financial sponsor.

But at that time, Lu Liang was busy preparing public funds. He went to Tokyo for vacation during the Spring Festival holiday. After returning, he was busy finding a home for the 3000 billion yuan.

Wu Tianzheng and Wu Jing came over several times, but they couldn't make an appointment each time, until recently when Lu Liang finally became free.

They planned to let Lu Liang see the finished film and discuss the release date and distribution issues.

"Mr. Wu, Director Wu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting for so long."

Seeing Lu Liang coming in, the two stood up at the same time. Wu Tianzheng smiled and said, "It wasn't long. We just got here not long ago."

"Hello, Mr. Lu."

Wu Jing's face was full of smiles. Over the years, he had met many investors, but few were as big as Lu Liangxin.

If it weren't for the need to submit detailed expenditures to Tianxing's Finance Department every month and get signed feedback, he would have thought that Lu Liang had forgotten about this 1.2 million investment.

"Let's go to the conference room. There's no projection screen here."

Lu Liang was very interested in the finished film and wanted to see what a movie that grossed over 5 billion yuan would look like.

The whole film is 123 minutes long. Except for the role of the rich second generation who was originally invited to play Xiao Wang but was rejected, the performance was a bit awkward. The acting skills of all the cast members were basically online, and the big scenes were also very real, with broken limbs flying everywhere.

Especially the scenes where he fired and roared with tears in his eyes, and crossed the war zone with the national flag in his hands, were full of passion and completely expressed the depressed mood in his heart.

Two hours later, the curtains and lights in the conference room were turned on again. Lu Liang clapped his hands and said with a smile, "Very good, very exciting."

Wu Jing was delighted to get Lu Liang's approval, and Wu Tianzheng took the opportunity to say, "Boss Lu, after discussing with Wanda, we decided to spend 5000 million on publicity first."

According to the original arrangement, the 2.1 million included the film's early publicity and promotion costs, and the production cost was approximately 1.8 million, with million squeezed out for publicity and promotion.

But with Lu Liang joining in and readily paying 1.2 million yuan, Wu Jing was no longer restricted during the filming process.

The 2.3 million was reduced to only 800 million, and there was still a funding gap of 4200 million for publicity and promotion.

If the investment accounts for 52%, Lu Liang should take out another 2184 million.

"Okay, when is it going to be released?" Lu Liang said without hesitation.

The final box office of The Richest Man was fixed at 27.56 billion, temporarily topping the annual list.

Tianxing Investment accounted for only 15%, invested 2250 million, and earned 1.18 million.

This fund is about to expire, and Wanda will also need to pay some money, which is just right for the promotion of Wolf Warrior 2.

Wu Jing quickly said, "Mr. Lu, we plan to release it during the summer season in late July."

"Yes, just in time for the eve of Army Day."

Lu Liang was distracted for a moment. He suddenly thought of Su Wanyu. The eight-month exchange career seemed to be coming to an end.

He has been busy with various things recently and hasn't contacted her for a long time. The last time seemed to be during the Spring Festival.

He just wrote a few words to wish everyone a Happy Chinese New Year. After all, he took Li Manli to Tokyo for a trip at that time.

The news spread like wildfire on the Internet. "Mr. Lu, is there any problem?" Wu Tianzheng asked carefully.

"No problem, just remembered something else."

Lu Liang shook his head and called Tang Caidie to be responsible for the signing of subsequent contracts.

After that, he returned to the office.

Wu Jing smiled bitterly: "Boss Lu, you are really straightforward."

Apart from the two hours of watching the movie, they spent less than ten minutes communicating with Lu Liang.

Finalizing the publicity and promotion fee of 5000 million is as easy as drinking water.

It would be great if all investors were as straightforward as Lu Liang.

"Mr. Lu is just an exception."

Wu Tianzheng took over the conversation with a smile, saying that others would have to hold meetings to discuss spending hundreds of millions or even tens of millions.

But it only took Lu Liang one month to spend the 3000 billion yuan of public funds.

He did not tolerate those who refused to redeem their shares, and directly gave the 60 billion shares to the Suzhou Human Resources and Social Security Bureau, highlighting his dominance.

Next door to the next door is Lu Liang’s office.

He washed his face, tidied his appearance, and made a video call to Su Wanyu.

The call was not connected and was hung up directly. Su Wanyu sent a question mark: "I'm in class."

"How are you doing lately? Is your studies going well?"

Lu Liang looked thoughtful as he looked at the wall clock.

Because he often trades in the international market, there are three wall clocks on the wall of his office, corresponding to Beijing time, New York time, and London time.

Three o'clock in the afternoon, Beijing time.

8am London time.

The University of Edinburgh is in the UK. According to London time, the students there will get up at 8am?
"Life is going pretty well, but school is a little difficult. If you don't work hard, it's hard to keep up with the pace here."

Su Wanyu said that the European and American happy education that is popular in China does exist, and its coverage area is as high as 95%.

But there is only 5% of elite education left, and the competition is fierce. Since coming here, she feels like she is back in her senior year of high school.

"Oh, by the way, I almost forgot to tell you that I also received a study abroad fund of 50,000 US dollars per semester~"

Su Wanyu suspected that it was Lu Liang who did it, because she asked the senior students from the previous year and they said that it didn't happen in previous years but only this year.

Moreover, the financial aid is very generous, with a minimum of $20,000 per person per semester and a maximum of $50,000.

In the past, only domestic students could enjoy this treatment, but now overseas students can also enjoy it.

Lu Liang smiled and said, "Who is the sucker who invested in this? Aren't you afraid that you won't come back?"

"How is that possible? Britain has decided to leave the EU, and the streets have been noisy every day recently."

The referendum ended last year, the Queen signed the contract, and the process is going through recently, and Brexit is a fait accompli.

Lu Liang asked again: "What about you, when will you come back?"

"I guess I'll have to wait until the end of the year. I haven't completed all the credits yet, and I'm almost failing one of my courses."

Su Wanyu suddenly said, "Let's stop chatting. The professor seemed to have seen me playing with my phone."

"Talk to you next time."

Lu Liang frowned and called the director of Tongji University's Study Abroad Office.

When I got Su Wanyu's report cards for all subjects last month, they were basically all A's, with only one B being good.

"Mr. Lu, there is one more thing. Student Su has applied for special care from the University of Edinburgh and applied for a visa extension through our school." said the director.

"What do you mean?" Lu Liang asked puzzledly.

"Last year, there was an overseas female student named Liu Jiao in our school who also applied for these two items. Later we learned that she was preparing to give birth." The director didn't dare to say it clearly, so he gave an example.

If it’s from Luliang, that would be best.

If not, things are a bit serious.

After all, donating 200 million US dollars every year to establish an overseas scholarship fund can be said to be Xiang Zhuang dancing with a sword, aiming at Pei Gong.

Lu Liang was silent for a long time, then said in a deep voice: "I understand, Director Sun. I hope the school will try not to disclose it to the outside world."

"I understand, I understand." Director Sun assured repeatedly.

　There are two more chapters before 12 o'clock.
