After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 317 Introducing a Third Party Force

"Wanda?"

"We have already entrusted Wanda to help with the bidding, and we will take over the project from them later."

“This couldn’t be better.”

Zhou Yi understood it and smiled happily. Having a middleman could also reduce the shady dealings in the bidding meeting.

In the first half of the year, although Wanda was in the midst of a crisis of both stock and bond losses, it also sold a large number of core projects in order to protect itself.

But a lean camel is always bigger than a horse. If Wanda Group bids normally, it is qualified to compete with Hengtai and Country Garden, not to mention it has their support.

Lu Liang stayed in Suzhou for two days, and then went to Wanda’s headquarters in Beijing to meet with Lao Wang and inform him about the bidding conference to be held in the second half of the year.

As long as the preparations are normal, the result is already determined. No matter how many companies compete, they will be the winning companies.

"Mr. Wang, please, Wanda will advance the fees first, and we will round up the amount when we transfer the money."

Hearing Lu Liang's words, Lao Wang smiled and waved his hands, looking nonchalant: "Money is nothing. Helping to acquire 1450 acres may even increase Wanda's stock price."

Lu Liang understood what he meant, and talked about pandas during the chat: "Acong should lead the team to New York to conduct the first data review."

"I heard that it set off last night and is probably still flying in the sky." Lao Wang sighed, Wanda went to Hong Kong and pandas went to the United States.

Although the scale of the two is incomparable, it can be said that one has his own career, and this is the most gratifying thing for a parent.

"Hope it goes well." Lu Liang glanced at Lao Wang. If he remembered correctly, Lao Wang was born in the 50s and is years old this year.

Last year, he was the richest Chinese in the world, with a round face, an upright figure and a strong aura.

But this year, Wanda suffered a sudden change and fell from the altar. It might be because he worked too hard, which led to his rapid weight loss. It was as if his energy was drained away and he looked very old.

“Hope it goes well.”

After leaving Wanda, Lu Liang came to ByteDance. Thinking that he hadn't seen Yang Zhenyuan for a long time, he planned to come and see him.

As a result, Zhang Yiming guarded against him like a thief: "Boss Yang is on a business trip to Los Angeles."

Before they could finish their conversation, they invited Lu Liang to the restaurant box downstairs in the company.

In any case, we should prevent him from appearing in the company to prevent employees who are unaware of the truth from being abducted.

Lu Liang has a very bad reputation in the Beijing circle, and Yang Zhenyuan’s Douyin is just one of the reasons.

The research and development of the Tianxing car-machine system is inseparable from the support of a number of friendly companies in Beijing.

He no longer poachs people secretly, but instead poaches them openly. If a 50% salary increase isn't enough, he'll try a 100% one. If a 100% salary increase isn't enough, he'll try a 150% one.

As long as you accept and sign the contract, you will be guaranteed a stable income for the next three years. The better your skills and the higher your position, the higher your resettlement allowance will be.

Today, the R&D team has expanded to 500 people, all of whom are engineers from ByteDance, Meituan, Baidu, and even Xiaomi.

"Mr. Lu, I think you should bring an umbrella when you go out. Be careful of rotten eggs that suddenly fly at you."

Zhang Yiming gritted his teeth. This guy likes to take advantage of his acquaintances. The better the relationship with him, the more people will be poached.

ByteDance was the first to be hit, followed by Xiaomi and Baidu, all of which had more or less thirty to fifty people poached by him.

However, it seems that Qihoo has been targeted recently. The Red-Dressed Leader directly criticized Lu Liang on Weibo, accusing him of vicious competition.

"If someone throws rotten eggs at me, it must be you who ordered it, or it must be Lao Zhou from Qihoo."

Lu Liang smiled, knowing why Zhang Yiming hated him so much. Being poached was only one aspect, the other aspect was the increase in the cost of employing people.

They poach employees with salaries 100% higher than the industry average. If companies want to retain employees, they must either promise them equity or increase their salaries to retain them.

As far as he knows, since the establishment of Tianxing Technology, the average salary of computer professionals in Beijing has increased by 42%.

Those people love him so much that how could they bear to throw rotten eggs at him?

Zhang Yiming glared at him unhappily and kindly advised: "Boss Lu, you really need to change your style."

It is a fait accompli that Lu Liang is making cars. He comes from a finance background, and the thing he has the most is money, and he also likes to use money to bully people.

Let Internet companies be smashed, after all it is a high-profit, low-maintenance industry, and it is normal for technical personnel to have high salaries.

Once he entered the industrial field, when everyone was earning three to five thousand yuan a month, it would be easy for Lu Liang to fail if he only made seven to eight thousand yuan or even tens of thousands.

"What is the purpose of industrial upgrading? Isn't it just to increase the wages of ordinary people?"

"If it's still 3,000 before the upgrade and 3,000 after the upgrade, then what's the point of the upgrade?"

Lu Liang smiled and didn't take it seriously. He could afford it and didn't care about the money.

Moreover, his only advantage was that he was rich. If he didn't spend a lot of money and still insisted on so-called healthy competition, how could he catch up with others? Lu Liang always felt that the so-called healthy competition was a term invented by those who had joined the group to block the latecomers.

Competition is competition, there is no such thing as benign or evil.

Zhang Yiming sighed: "My kindness was bitten by you, you will know when the time comes."

He asked again: "What do you want to see Lao Yang about?"

Lu Liang smiled and said, "I miss him, come and see him."

"Do you think I will believe it?" Zhang Yiming was speechless.

Lu Liang narrowed his eyes and smiled, and explained the situation: "By the way, ask him to recommend some talents. The research and development of car computers has reached a bottleneck."

"Damn, I knew you weren't holding back on your farts."

Zhang Yiming's face darkened, and he suddenly changed the subject: "If you need any talent, I can help recommend one."

It's going to rain, it's going to rain, and the mother is going to get married. The same goes for employees resigning. Instead of blocking them, it's better to let them go and let Lu Liang take advantage of others.

Don't keep staring at them. They're like a sheep being pulled out of its head. Lu Liang is almost pulling out its hair bald.

"High-precision maps, locate technical talents in this area."

Lu Liang did not hide the fact that ByteDance was weak in this area and it was not within his consideration.

Zhang Yiming blurted out subconsciously: "Baidu... probably not. Mr. Li will probably kick you out."

He looked thoughtful, and suddenly an idea came to him: "Boss Lu, don't always focus on our Beijing circle, you can also consider the south."

"Think about it, DJ, Hua Wei, and Penguin, especially Penguin, who has been promoting Penguin Maps recently. There are more talented people in the south, and your reputation there is relatively good."

Lu Liang was unhappy: "I have a bad reputation?"

"Hehe~~" Zhang Yiming smiled fakely.

"We'll see then."

After saying goodbye to Zhang Yiming, Lu Liang went to the SOHO Building in Zhongguancun.

Hu Weiwei said that the promotion of the system has not been smooth, and currently only three companies, Wuling, Wei, Xiaopeng and Li Auto, are promoting it.

Xiaomi cooperates with BAIC to empower Arcfox, which means that after the Internet giants, mobile phone manufacturers have also entered the market.

The Tianxing OS system is excellent and ranks among the top tier among the self-developed car computers in China.

But they are not so good that we cannot live without them. After all, they are just auxiliary systems and cannot even assist driving.

Qihoo 360's idea is also the idea of ​​most car companies. They can cooperate, but it must be open source and developed jointly by everyone.

Data collection has reached a bottleneck and the progress of intelligent driving research and development has stagnated, so we need maps and talents in positioning this area to break through from other angles.

Hu Weiwei paused and said, "Mr. Lu, NIO, Ideal, and Xiaopeng have all established driving technology companies."

Although it is unclear whether they are trying to curry favor with them or are interested in developing their own car computers, it is a bad sign.

As long as their R&D progress and the speed of technological change are slightly unable to keep up with market development, they will definitely be abandoned immediately.

Even if Tianxing Private Equity is their shareholder, it cannot change the situation because the premise of cooperation is mutual benefit. They are willing to use Tianxing OS mainly because the system is better and they have a better relationship with Lu Liang.

If the company's interests are damaged because of their relationship with Lu Liang, other shareholders will not agree even if they are willing.

"It is better to rely on oneself than on others." Lu Liang pondered and felt that it was time to introduce a third-party force to speed up the development of vehicle computers.

He whispered to himself, "It's not good to be too strong, as it's easy for them to become the main players. It's not good to be too weak, so it's better to be developing, related to automobiles, but not in direct competition with us."

Hu Weiwei frowned slightly, thought about it again and again, and asked uncertainly: "Are you talking about Didi?"

After much thought, she felt that only Didi seemed to meet this standard. As of last year, there were a total of 385 million online car-hailing drivers.

There are so many cars on the road every day. If we can connect to their database, the progress of intelligent driving research and development will be as fast as a cheat.

And the key is that you don’t have to pay the cost of installing a car computer, because the Didi driver version application itself is a data collector and transmitter.

"Binguo, you're really smart." Lu Liang asked with a smile on his face, "Are you still in touch?"

They are both rare female CEOs of the same generation. I heard that Hu Weiwei and Liu Qing have a very good relationship.

Hu Weiwei said, "We haven't been in touch for a long time, but if you invite me, Mr. Liu won't refuse."
