Chapter 360 Didi Shit Stirrer

"That's all we can do."

While the two were talking, there was a knock on the office door. Qin Siyuan knocked on the door and came in, holding a bucket of shrimp and crab casserole porridge in his hand.

"Thank you, Director Qin."

Hu Weiwei quickly took the bag and took out the matching bowls and chopsticks from it: "Mr. Lu, why don't we eat together."

People working in the Internet industry not only have an irregular daily schedule, but also their three meals a day are irregular.

This meal should be her first meal of the day. The last meal seemed to be yesterday at noon. She just contacted Qin Siyuan and asked him to help get it when he came over.

"It just so happens that I didn't eat much at night."

Lu Liang nodded. His flight was in the evening, and although meals were provided on the plane, the taste was hard to describe.

"After connecting to Didi's database, what is the current progress of intelligent driving research and development?" Lu Liang peeled shrimps and dipped them in some bean paste.

Qin Siyuan just picked up the chopsticks and immediately put them on the table, sitting upright and saying, "Mr. Lu, the research and development of intelligent driving is progressing very fast now. It has basically reached the L2 level standard and is expected to be put into use in two months."

"Don't be so formal, let's eat and chat at the same time."

Lu Liang was pleasantly surprised and smiled with satisfaction. It seemed that introducing Didi was indeed the right choice.

Hu Weiwei suddenly said, "Mr. Lu, I almost forgot, I may need to tell you something."

She paused and said, "Director Li Junyi came again later. He seemed to have something to ask you, but he didn't want me to disturb you. He said that when you come over, please be sure to inform him as soon as possible."

"What are you looking for me for?"

Lu Liang was puzzled. He had only met Li Junyi once, when he first introduced Didi and joined the Xuanwu Project.

"Maybe it's about Didi." Hu Weiwei pondered and talked about the rumors she had heard recently in Beijing.

Because Didi was under investigation and its path to listing was blocked, Cheng Wei and other founders had a lot of unpleasant arguments with Liu Qing.

Cheng Wei is the real founder of Didi, but Liu Qing’s joining brought huge resources.

As a result, Cheng Wei's power was repeatedly reduced, until now Liu Qing has taken over and become the boss of Didi.

For unknown reasons, Didi's listing was blocked, so Cheng Wei and other founders took the opportunity to launch an attack.

"I don't know if it has anything to do with Director Li looking for you. I'm just guessing."

Hu Weiwei smiled embarrassedly, not quite sure because she had only heard it from others.

Although she has been in Beijing for a year, she is not able to touch the secrets of a company of Didi's size.

"Then tell Li Junyi I'm here tomorrow and see how he reacts."

Lu Liang sucked on the crab leg, looking thoughtful, and vaguely felt that there was a pit ahead.

He spent most of this month abroad, and when he returned he was busy with the change of leadership at the fund and the Suzhou factory.

I have been so busy that I only have time to pay attention to the progress of intelligent driving research and development recently, so I don’t have the time to pay attention to what is happening with Didi.

"Enjoy your meal, I have something else to do so I will leave now."

After much thought, Lu Liang decided to ask Lao Zhu out to get to know him better, otherwise he would not be able to sleep tonight.

After leaving SOHO Building, he called Zhang Tianai: "Go to bed early. Don't wait for me. I may not come over."

It's past ten o'clock now. Lu Liang asked Zhu Hu to meet him. Zhu Hu is also busy and will not be free until twelve o'clock. It's hard to say how long they will chat.

"Then I won't install an anti-theft lock. The key is in the pocket of Doraemon on the door mat." Zhang Tian'ai was a little disappointed, but she told him that no matter how late Lu Liang came, she would leave the door open.

"Okay, then you should go to bed early."

Leaving Zhongguancun, Lu Liang came to the China World Trade Center in Chaoyang District, the head office of Jinshajiang in Beijing.

At half past twelve, Zhu Hu walked out of the office with a tired face and said, "Old Lu, I'm sorry to have kept you waiting."

He touched his increasingly bald head and suggested, "How about we find a place to have a drink?"

In addition to perverts like Lu Liang and his perverted company, financial practitioners are actually under a lot of pressure.

Especially for venture capital companies, all the invested companies are crying out for investment, and they need to select projects that are worth investing in.

The documents and materials I browse every day pile up to at least a person's height, and migraines are commonplace.

The only way to relieve worries is to have good food.

"You arrange it."

"It's not far, just downstairs, just walk over."

Zhu Hu said as he walked. Other places were too far to go. This barbecue restaurant was pretty good. At least it used charcoal fire and the ingredients were more honest. "Give me some kidneys to replenish my body."

Zhu Hu seemed to come here often. He greeted the boss and took out an opened bottle of Wuliangye from the wine cabinet at the front desk.

He did not forget that Lu Liang liked to drink beer, so he took a few bottles from the refrigerator and said with a smile: "Sometimes when I'm busy at the company late, I like to come here to eat some barbecue and have a few drinks." Lu Liang raised the bottle and clinked it with the wine glass. One person drank white wine and the other drank beer. The scene was quite harmonious.

Zhu Hu drank two cups in a row, ate a few skewers of meat, and let out a long breath: "I finally feel alive."

Lu Liang smiled, waited for a while, and said slowly: "Li Junyi, the person in charge of the National Security Xuanwu Project, came to see me."

"Ding ding!" Zhu Hu's expression froze.

"Is it really related?" Lu Liang was surprised.

"I heard it, but the news is not true."

Zhu Hu's eyes lit up, and he slowed down his drinking. He ate some peanuts, some skewers, and took another sip. "Didi's listing was blocked, and co-founder Cheng Wei attacked Liu Qing. Have you heard about it?"

Lu Liang nodded: "I just heard about it."

"The Liu family's butt is a little crooked, and this is the main reason why Didi's listing was blocked."

Zhu Hu talked about the news he knew, that there was too much foreign capital in Didi, and they were all resources of the Liu family.

Now that the free market is being promoted, it is difficult for the country to intervene, and if it is not handled properly it will easily lead to criticism.

Unofficial forces need to intervene to avoid gossip, and this is also an action allowed by the market.

"So it's me?" Lu Liang understood.

Considering the previous and subsequent events, this was intended to allow him to join Didi to support Cheng Wei, thereby countering the Liu family and foreign capital.

"If Li Junyi is looking for you, it should be you."

Zhu Hu smiled and couldn't help but drink two more cups.

If Lu Liang can successfully get involved, it means that Didi will have a chance to go public, and the project he is proud of will have hope of monetization again.

"Why me?"

Lu Liang frowned, very confused.

Didi's valuation is as high as 500 billion US dollars. Although he should be able to raise funds to join the board of directors if he thinks about it, he does not think he is the best candidate.

In his opinion, Penguin is the best candidate, and since it is an investor in Didi, it will let him go east and never west.

"You're awesome."

Zhu Hu smiled meaningfully: "As the saying goes, when the spring breeze blows, the horses run fast. I can see all the flowers in New York in one night. Who else do you think can make foreign investors unable to find a reason to target them, except you?"

This matter really needs to be handled by Lu Liang.

Over the years, the only person who could stir up the international market and receive courtesy from Wall Street capital was Lu Liang.

If Tianxing does not accept Didi's investment and does not cooperate with Didi, perhaps Lu Liang has no reason to intervene in this matter.

But now that it is a fait accompli, Lu Liang has become associated with Didi, so he is the best person to stir up trouble.

Lu Liang remained silent. Assuming Zhu Hu's speculation came true, how would he benefit from it?

As Zhu Hu said, he seemed to be the best person to do this.

"You've drunk a little too much. Let's go take a bath and relax. Do you want to come?" Zhu Hu touched his belly, smiling, and was in a very good mood.

"Brother Hu, go by yourself, I will think about it carefully."

"I need to think about it carefully." Zhu Hu smiled, called the driver, and moved on to the second half.

Lu Liang drank beer and sat in the box until the boss knocked on the door: "Boss, we are closing."

"It's already three o'clock so soon."

Lu Liang looked at the time, drank the wine in his glass in one breath, and came to Phoenix City at Sanyuan Bridge.

I hadn't been here for a while, and I was not familiar with the layout of the community. I wandered around for a long time and was almost mistaken for a stranger by the security guard.

Fortunately, Zhang Tian'ai was very considerate. She seemed to have guessed that Lu Liang didn't know the way, so she sent him a text message around midnight to inform him of her detailed address.

Building 11, Room 1904. As soon as he stepped out of the elevator, he saw an oversized blue fat man's floor mat with keys in its pocket.

The room was brightly lit. Zhang Tianai was wearing yoga pants and headphones, jumping on the yoga mat.

It seemed like he had been dancing for a while, and some parts were obviously soaked with sweat, and the color appeared darker.

"With this schedule, did you just wake up or haven't slept yet?" Lu Liang laughed.

"Brother Liang!"

Zhang Tianai's brows were filled with joy and she immediately wanted to give Lu Liang a big hug.

Just remembered that she was now sweating all over, so she resisted the urge.
