After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 431 The Older You Get, the More Confused You Get

Lu Liang did not accept Lakeside's invitation.
Lao Ma was very disappointed, but he didn't know what to say.

After all, graduating from a junior college is indeed a disadvantage. He couldn't help but ask: "Don't you want to improve yourself?"

"Where are you going? Mingzhou?" Lu Liang narrowed his eyes and smiled.

Lao Ma was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed: "There are also many research and study projects in China where many business people participate."

Although the news that a wealthy businessman from Tokyo University was arrested in the United States has completely disappeared on the Internet, it does not mean that it did not happen.

Dongzi has never participated in the doctoral program initiated by Huaqing University since returning to China.

They must be dissatisfied with this project. It is useless if the safety of participating students cannot be guaranteed.

Lu Liang smiled and did not continue the topic.

Huaqing University is simply taking the scapegoat. After all, Dongzi has a sense of dignity, and being framed is better than being framed by a horny person.

The two chatted until about five o'clock. Lao Ma glanced at the time and said, "Mr. Lu, it's almost time."

"Let's go." Lu Liang nodded, and followed Lao Ma to the mouth of the Pujiang River.

National Day is here, and the city is really not a place to stay.

Just like Zheng Xiaoxuan said, there are people and cars everywhere, which makes people's scalp tingle and afraid.

There is a private restaurant in Baoshan. Lu Liang ate there several times and felt the taste was very good, so he made an appointment with Lao Liutou to meet there.

Not long after the two arrived, Old Liu came hurriedly. At the age of 73, he announced his retirement several times.

But just like Soros, he retired but not completely. He pops up from time to time to show his presence.

"Mr. Lu, this should be the first time we meet."

Old Liu smiled and suddenly said with emotion: "I heard that in recent years, a remarkable young man appeared in the Magic City. He is indeed a rare talent."

Lu Liang smiled and said, "Boss Liu, you are too kind. I grew up listening to your stories, and today I finally get to meet you in person as I wished."

"You two, please take a seat and have something to eat?" Lao Ma said with a smile. He was well aware of his position in this dinner.

It's a pure atmosphere group. They chat about their things and he does his things. As long as the two of them don't quarrel, his task is completed.

"I don't have any dietary restrictions, what about you, Mr. Liu?"

Although they were the invited party, the host Lu Liang had a strong attitude, because this was the Magic City, not the capital.

Old Liutou smiled and said, "Just eat light food. I drank too much when I was young, so now I don't eat much meat."

Lao Ma smiled and said, "It's almost the same for me. I have a few fixed days of fasting every month."

"You two, when you say this, it makes me seem like I have committed a serious sin."

Lu Liang smiled and joked that he was a pure carnivore and could not live without meat.

Although my stomach’s digestive ability isn’t as good as when I was young, I now need to pair it with staple foods, vegetables, and soup, otherwise my stomach will feel uncomfortable the next day, but I still love to eat it.

Old Ma smiled bitterly: "Boss Lu, I don't mean anything else. I was born in the 60s, and Boss Liu was born in the 40s. How old are you?"

"Mr. Lu was born in the 80s, 85." Old Liu sighed, "There is a 20-year age difference between each person, which is exactly three generations."

"Seven years younger than Xiaoqing. Time is indeed cruel. Over the years, I have seen the ups and downs of too many outstanding people."

Lu Liang narrowed his eyes and chuckled, "Those who float up are the heroes, and those who sink are just the eliminated ones."

"Mr. Lu, isn't that too one-sided?" Old Liu glared with his tiger eyes, looking intimidating without even getting angry.

"Oh? What advice do you have for me, Mr. Liu?" Lu Liang kept smiling as he drank his tea calmly.

During his development, he did not receive any help from anyone except Meng Changkun.

He had not received any favor from Old Liu, so he wanted to take advantage of his seniority, but it was useless with him.

To put it nicely, they are industry veterans; to put it bluntly, they are just remnants of the old era.

The three heroes of the Liu family are like a microcosm of the evolution of the aristocratic families in ancient times.

The first generation is the holder of the second-rank lawyer's license in the country and the founder and perfecter of intellectual property rights.

He was the creator of domestic property rights law, but it was also gradually improved because of him. He created it himself and left a backdoor for himself.

The most famous cases are those involving Vitamix, Jinli, and Disney, which used legal means to put pressure on relevant departments and suppress mainland companies in order to eliminate trademark infringement troubles for these brands, under the pretext of giving foreigners confidence in the implementation of patent laws.

The second generation caught up with the era of state-owned enterprise reform. He used his father's influence to obtain a large number of loans, swallowed up the shares belonging to the Chinese Academy of Sciences, and turned from a steward into the master.

The third generation was born, hit the Internet wave, and combined the strength of the first and second generations, Didi quickly became a behemoth with a valuation of up to 500 billion US dollars.

Three outstanding people from one family have reaped all the dividends of the times since the founding of the People's Republic of China, but the direction of the times will not remain unchanged.

When Didi submitted its application for listing, it was impossible that Old Liu did not help. He certainly helped, but it was useless. So in a sense, Lu Liang was also appointed by heaven, so naturally he was not afraid of the Liu family.

"I don't deserve your advice, it's just my experience. I hope Mr. Lu can think twice before doing anything."

Old Liu didn't want to put on airs anymore and told Lu Liang almost directly to stay out of Didi's business.

Lu Liang replied with a smile: "I will keep Mr. Liu's warning in mind."

Old Liu squinted his eyes and sighed, "Times have changed after all."

He has been immersed in the business world for decades, so how could he not tell whether someone is really serious or just pretending to be serious?

Perhaps it was because he hadn't been out in public for a long time, and even the younger generation didn't take his words seriously.

Lu Liang said meaningfully: "Times are always changing. If people don't change, they will be the ones who sink."

"There's no point in talking too fast." Old Liu's face gradually turned cold. How could he not hear Lu Liang's sarcasm?

Lu Liang laughed in silence and shook his head.

People say that people become more cunning as they age, but he felt that Old Liutou was becoming more and more confused as he got older.

It was obviously he who was taking advantage of his seniority and showing off his eloquence, but now people are blaming him for the wrongdoing.

Old Ma suddenly felt something was wrong and stopped eating melons: "Boss Lu, this private dish tastes really good. How did you discover it?"

"A friend brought it here before, and I ate it a few times. It was very good."

The conversation was not going well, and Lu Liang did not want to stay any longer, so he offered them a cup of tea instead of wine. After drinking the tea in the cup, he said, "Boss Liu and Boss Ma, I'm sorry, I have something to do later, so I'll leave first."

Old Liu snorted coldly. Old Ma wanted to say something but stopped himself. He swallowed the words back: "Boss Lu, let me see you off."

Obviously, this conversation can no longer be described as a breakdown. To say it was terrible is no exaggeration.

Lu Liang doesn't know how to respect the elderly, while Old Liutou relies on his age. The encounter between the two is like a collision between Mars and the Earth.

"Boss Ma, please stay."

Lu Liang didn't even bother to look at Old Liutou again. He was old and still had a bad temper. Did he really think that he would tolerate him?

Lu Liang left, and left very cleanly.

Old Ma sighed. If he had known earlier, he would not have gotten involved in this mess. It was a thankless task and he would be unpopular with everyone.

Old Liu sneered: "Young people nowadays."

Old Ma smiled bitterly. Since Lu Liang was not around, he could only agree: "Boss Lu has been too successful. He is young and successful, so it is inevitable that he is frivolous."

"It's time to make him fall flat on his face."

"..."

Lao Ma was speechless and didn't know what to say.

It is not so easy to make Lu Liang fall. If he could be made to fall, he would have done it long ago. How could he have waited until now?

But he didn't persuade them either. He owed the Liu family a lot of favors. If he could repay some of them through this incident, it would be nice.

After all, he thought he had a good relationship with Lu Liang.

After walking out of the private restaurant, Lu Liang was very angry. After calming down a little, he called Cheng Wei.

He said in a deep voice: "Just now, Mr. Ma from Ali arranged for me to meet with Old Liutou."

Cheng Wei was stunned for a moment, and suddenly had a bad feeling. Would Lu Liang shrink back? Wouldn’t that be fatal?
After publicly challenging Liu Qing in the board of directors, there was no turning back for him. If he could not eliminate Liu Qing's power in one fell swoop, he would probably become a complete figurehead in the future.

"It's okay. I refused. I just wanted to let you know. The plan remains the same."

Ever since meeting Old Liu, Lu Liang has silently given this plan the highest priority.

Even if you don't make money, you must still fight for your reputation.

But the biggest beneficiary is Cheng Wei, so I still have to tell him that all this is for him.

Just like some elders, even though their families are not so poor that they can’t even afford to cook, they always make steamed eggs or fried eggs for all family members except themselves.

The essence is like making others feel indebted to her.

Similarly, although Lu Liang was furious with Old Liu, he now has a strong initiative to enter the Didi market.

But we also need to let Cheng Wei know how much he has paid and how much he has given up, so that he will have a strong sense of indebtedness.

　No more tonight, will update tomorrow morning
