After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 325 Xuanwu Plan
“There’s 72% left.”

Didi joined in the name of financing, and the equity of Luliang and Jinshajiang also suffered a 20% year-on-year dilution.

Currently, Lu Liang’s Tianxing Investment holds a 72% stake in Tianxing Technology, followed by Didi with 20% and Jinshajiang with 8%.

Sequoia Capital’s Shen Peng, Hillhouse Capital’s Zhang Lei, and Lei Jun Da Qiangzi all called to congratulate Tianxing on its launch and to ask if it was still short of funds or needed financing.

The Lingshui New Energy Industrial Park in Suzhou City was built with a huge investment of 1300 billion yuan, although it has no direct interest in Tianxing Technology and Lu Liang has repeatedly said that it was only to connect the new energy industry in the Yangtze River Delta and become a logistics base for new energy manufacturers across the country.

Being selfless is better said than sung. He has no self in his mind at all and is only thinking about the entire industry. Everything he does now is for the future of the industry.

But these words, just listen to them.
Anyone who takes it seriously is a big fool.

Suppose in the future, several companies such as Tianxing, Tesla, NIO, and even Ideal will compete on the same stage.

17 enterprises in the Lingshui New Energy Industrial Zone,
Who will support?

The results are self-evident.

Being born with a silver spoon in one's mouth is not enough to describe Tianxing Technology. It is no exaggeration to say that it was born lying on a mountain of gold.

Didi only spent US$1.1 million to acquire a 20% stake in Tianxing Technology, and they were so envious that their eyes turned red.

"Thank you for your kindness. We'll do it next time. I have enough cash reserves now and have no plans to raise funds for the time being."

Lu Liang smiled and called back one by one, saying that he would contact them first if he had any financing plans next time.

It seems that Didi got a great deal, but in fact it is not the case.

There are 385 million online ride-hailing drivers, who make more than 8000 million trips per day on average. The data they generate cannot be measured in value.

Unlike high-precision maps, this is a unique driving database in the country, and only Didi can provide it.

They cooperate, and there is no one taking advantage of anyone else.

The cooperation was just finalized, and within a few days, Hu Weiwei called to inform him that someone wanted to invite Lu Liang to meet and chat.

"Who?"

"National Security."

Hu Weiwei smiled bitterly. They were just about to connect to Didi's database, but had not had time to implement it.

The National Security Bureau came directly to the door, hoping that Lu Liang, as the person in charge, would take some time to come to Beijing.

"Okay, I'll go over this afternoon." Lu Liang pondered, thinking about the Didi investigation.

National security is of paramount importance. Since they want to access Didi’s database, it is inevitable that they will be investigated and questioned.

At 3:30 in the afternoon, Lu Liang arrived in Beijing by plane and came to the SOHO Building in Zhongguancun.

Hu Weiwei was waiting at the door early in the morning and informed them that colleagues from the national security department had arrived and that the person in charge was Li Junyi.

Lu Liang followed Hu Weiwei to the reception room and met them. There were six people in total, four men and two women, all dressed neatly in suits and ties, with the national emblem on their chests.

The leader was a man in his forties. Li Junyi smiled and extended his hand enthusiastically: "Hello, Mr. Lu."

"Hello, Director Li."

During the conversation, Lu Liang learned their purpose and in order to avoid information leakage, he hoped that they could join the Xuanwu Project.

Xuanwu, one of the four heavenly spirits in mythology, also known as the turtle and snake, is synonymous with high defense in all kinds of games.

The same is true for the Xuanwu Project, whose purpose is to protect the information security of the country's citizens to prevent it from being obtained by people with ulterior motives.

Joining the program is not just about obligations but also about benefits. If Tianxing Technology needs it, they can also provide technical support.

Including but not limited to, giving them a set of firewalls to prevent their vehicle computer data from being tampered with, leading to unexpected accidents.

Moreover, they will keep strictly confidential the data about Tianxing Technology and only play a supervisory role without actively interfering or leaking it.

"That couldn't be better." Lu Liang smiled. He really had no reason to refuse.

He is not like the Liu family, who is so close to the West. Joining the plan will only benefit the company.

After that, Lu Liang stayed in the capital for another two days.

The main reason is that Qin Siyuan is coming, so he will stay for a few more days and wait for him to report.

On this day, Lu Liang held a meeting. Except for Wang Xiaofeng who was far away in Shanghai, all the management and technical core members participated.

Li Jiahui, Zheng Yaowen, Hu Weiwei, Liu Pei, and the newly joined Qin Siyuan. Lu Liang introduced them with a smile: "This is Qin Siyuan, Director Qin."

The technical director set up a separate project team and was responsible for Didi's database. His annual salary was 240 million, only slightly higher than that of the financial director Liu Pei.

"Everyone welcome." Hu Weiwei smiled and led the applause. She was very clear about her position in the company. Lu Liang acted in a bossy way and spoke very bluntly. He probably developed a personality of being able to say what he means in the fund company.

But companies, unlike funds, are not always right, and sometimes they should still take into account the emotions of managers.

The company needed an atmosphere group member and a team lubricant, and she played this role.

Lu Liang sat in the main seat, watching everyone shake hands and get to know each other. After a while, he asked, "Can we develop our L2 level assisted driving in five months?"

He promised Didi a year, but in reality it didn't take that long, the fastest would be three months and the latest no more than half a year.

Lu Liang has already thought about the plans for next year, and he doesn't want the car computer R&D team to fall behind.

Li Jiahui subconsciously looked at Zheng Yaowen. It was not difficult to tell from his actions that he had taken Lu Liang's original warning to heart.

As a direct descendant of Lu Liang and a favored child of destiny specially invited by him from Huaqing University, Li Jiahui should not be hostile to Zheng Yaowen as an outsider. Instead, he should learn from him and absorb the most needed experience from him.

The future belongs to him, not Zheng Yaowen.

Zheng Yaowen pondered for a long time and said, "Mr. Lu, we have just started cooperation with Didi. It is not clear yet how much improvement the cooperation with them will bring to our intelligent driving research and development."

He paused, then turned to look at Qin Siyuan: "Director Qin, do you think 20 days is enough time for verification?"

Qin Siyuan frowned and thought for a long time: "Two weeks, the construction period may be very tight, but it is not impossible."

He could see that Lu Liang didn't understand the technology, and he also saw that Zheng Yaowen intended to prolong the time.

Regarding the project deadline, it can be advanced, but not postponed, because advancing is a sign of ability, while postponing is a sign of incompetence.

But he had just arrived, and the most taboo for newcomers was to integrate into the company's existing team. He also urgently needed to prove to Lu Liang the value of his 240 million annual salary.

Lu Liang chuckled. He had also been in the workplace for seven or eight years, and he knew all the little thoughts of Zheng Yaowen and Qin Siyuan.

But he doesn't mind. No matter how much they fight, as long as he is the final beneficiary, he won't care so much.

Hu Weiwei noticed that Lu Liang did not object to this behavior, so she looked at Zheng Yaowen and gave him a way out: "Director Zheng, do you think there is enough time?"

Zheng Yaowen looked stiff, nodded and said, "Maybe I don't understand Didi's data very well, but it should be enough."

"Well, it's decided then. In two weeks, I want to know whether the research and development can be successful in five months."

Lu Liang smiled, put down his crossed legs, stood up and clapped his hands, ending today's meeting.

He came to the finance office next door, and Liu Pei also handed over the expenses of the Beijing company for the past six months.

Manpower, venues, and equipment purchases account for 80% of all expenses.

Before Didi injected capital, the company only had 2200 million yuan left in its account, and as the number of employees increased, they planned to rent another floor of an office building.

1.1 million US dollars is a timely relief.

"In the short term, if you can rent, try to rent."

Lu Liang asked Liu Pei to make two copies of the financial situation and send them to Jinshajiang and Didi.

There are plans for a headquarters building, but not now. We will have to wait at least another two or three years.

At the end of June, construction of the Lingshui New Energy Industrial Park in Suzhou began.

The biggest fear for companies engaged in engineering projects is not being able to get subsequent project payments, but the construction party of the Lingshui New Energy Industrial Park does not have to worry about this problem.

1300 billion, lying quietly in the account.

A down payment of 50% will be made, and the remaining balance will be settled three months after completion and confirmation.

With bidding from multiple construction companies, the original construction period of 12 months was compressed to only 7 months.

As long as the money is in place, work at night as if it were daytime, rainy days as if it were sunny days, and holidays as if they were weekdays.

At the same time, it is less than 500 meters away from the Lingshui New Energy Industrial Park across the river.

The bidding for the 1450 acres of land that many real estate developers are drooling over has also started. First-tier real estate developers such as Hengtai, Sunac, Country Garden, Vanke, and Wanda Group have gathered here.

With 96.57 square meters of land, if used economically, it would be more than enough to build four residential communities with households.

Moreover, it is next to the new energy industry zone. It can be said that as long as this piece of land is acquired, no matter whether it is developed into residential buildings or commercial plazas, there will be no loss in doing anything.

What was unexpected was that the bidding event, which was attended by many big names, ended up giving the top spot to Wanda, which is in prison this year.
