After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 522 Cultivating Your Own Power

For the next few days, Lu Liang stayed in Detroit and visited city and state dignitaries with Flannery.

The industrial jewel that enjoyed worldwide renown in the last century has now fallen to the point where the government is filing for bankruptcy protection and the police station is about to be abolished.

The relocation of enterprises is a reason, but not the main cause. Ultimately, it comes down to the fact that Detroit’s trade unions are too powerful.

“The work week cannot exceed 38 hours, and the minimum hourly wage cannot be less than $15.”

When Lu Liang learned about the local trade union regulations, he couldn't help but wonder which side is the kingdom of capital.

He has no objection to the hourly wage. As long as the company can make more money, it is fine to pay $20 an hour.

But he couldn't accept a 38-hour week, which meant working five days a week and having two days off, meaning he worked less than eight hours a day.

The eight-hour working day abroad is different from that in China. It includes meals and lunch breaks, so the actual working time is less than six hours.

But even so, the local workers were still not satisfied.

Strikes and marches are organized every now and then, and labor costs are rising, so companies naturally choose to relocate.

In the past, General Motors had no choice because this was where they made their fortune. If they wanted to leave, they would be skinned alive even if they didn’t die.

But it’s different now. With Lu Liang, a strong foreign aid, Flannery feels that they can work together to force the union to make concessions.

To be or not to be,

I believe those politicians will make the right choice.

When Lao Te heard the news, he hurried over and tried to negotiate a plan that would satisfy all three parties.

He advocated bringing in Lu Liang in the first place, including coming to help now, with only one purpose, which was to get re-elected in a few years.

As long as Detroit, once an industrial pearl, can be given a second lease of life, Michigan will inevitably become a stronghold of red state voters.

These days, Lu Liang has appeared on the headlines in various states every day.

At the same time, Justin Sun also fooled a few fools, obtained tens of millions of dollars in investment, and returned to China.

As soon as I landed at the airport, I started live streaming on Douyin.

"Thanks for the invitation, I'm in Shanghai, just got off the plane"

"Brothers, I'm exhausted. I just came back from New York and am waiting for my connecting flight. I have to go to Beijing later."

"When I went there, I could take a private plane, but when I came back, I could only take business class, and I couldn't even stretch my legs."

"Whose plane? Did I tell you?"

"It's a turning point. You heard it wrong."

Sun Yuchen had a smile on his face, and he had been trying to cover up his wrongdoings. It doesn't matter if the trick is old, as long as it works.

Because he "accidentally" let the cat out of the bag, all the netizens in the live broadcast room knew that the young man next to Lu Liang was him.

As a result, Tron, which had surged 1200%, once again ushered in a small rally and successfully broke through $0.03.

Another 105% increase.
The total market value of Tron has reached 25 billion US dollars.

Those investors who bought in a few days ago watched their assets worth hundreds or thousands of dollars double, and they were beating their chests in anger, regretting that they did not buy more at the time.

With this favorable trend, Tron has become the leading domestic cryptocurrency, and Justin Sun has been crowned the richest person in the cryptocurrency circle born after 90.

He immediately called Lu Liang and asked if this level was acceptable and whether he needed to be more restrained.

"Yu Chen, don't worry. What you should do now is to digest it and stabilize the value of TRON."

Lu Liang walked into the cabin with a smile on his face while talking on the phone. He had stayed in Detroit for three days and he was going back home today.

The trip was fruitful, not only did we invite the Cadillac CT5 technical team, but we also negotiated terms with the Detroit city government and trade unions.

The union’s daily operating funds are collected from workers, and the workers’ money is the income from their labor.

If there were no companies and no jobs, there would be no need for trade unions to exist, so they chose to compromise.

Lu Liang discussed with Flannery and decided to copy the domestic system and apply it here.

Cultivate a few labor traitors and make them fat, and they will naturally be concerned about the enterprise and look down on the workers.

Now that the union’s issues have been resolved, the factory’s construction efficiency has improved and it is scheduled to be completed around July this year.

"Mr. Lu, I understand."

Sun Yuchen thought for a moment and understood what Lu Liang meant.

Tron has only 25 users and a market value of US$ billion. It is like being an emperor at home, with only family members recognizing you, not outsiders.

TRON can soar 26 times in a few days, or it can be beaten back to its original state in an instant. Lu Liang was reminding him not to feel inflated and frivolous because of paper profits.

The top priority is to take advantage of this favorable situation to develop more new users and build the infrastructure.

Only when more people participate will the market have the capacity to carry on and the market value will become more real.

"Yuchen, let's leave it at that for now. The plane is about to take off. Let's talk again when we get back home."

Lu Liang showed a satisfied smile. From now on, he would also build up his own power.

Anyway, it's just a small favor, so if you can help it up, that would be the best, just consider it as a good deed. If you can't help it up, there's no loss.

Justin Sun was the first outsider.
But it definitely won't be the last one.

"Mr. Lu, the plane is about to take off." Lin Yan came over and bent over to help Lu Liang fasten his seat belt.

A woman's fragrance rushed into his nose. Lu Liang smiled wickedly and hooked his fingers lightly on the collar to take in the spring scenery.

"Bad guy." Lin Yan, full of charm, glared at him coquettishly, then stretched out her index finger and lightly flicked Xiao Lu.

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

The relationship between the two was no longer a secret, so they were naturally too lazy to hide their flirting from outsiders.

Lu Liang stroked the straight calf, along the stockings all the way up, and was about to use the Great Wilderness Prisoner Sky Finger.

Lin Yan's delicate body trembled, and she panicked immediately. She reminded again: "Boss Lu, we are really about to take off."

Lu Liang narrowed his eyes and smiled, putting away the Heaven Prison Finger.

Lin Yan looked charming and walked quickly to the seat of the flight attendant as if she was escaping.

Fasten your seat belt, keep your eyes straight, and concentrate on waiting for the plane to glide and take off.

She knew that the flight attendants next to her must be looking at her strangely, or even silently insulting her in their hearts.

But she doesn't care anymore. If she dares to do it, she will take the responsibility. Anyway, after working for a few more years, she will resign and retire early.

There will be no chance to meet them again, so why should she care so much, especially since she is their leader.

On January 1, Lu Liang returned to Shanghai.

As we enter the twelfth lunar month and the New Year is approaching, the festive atmosphere becomes stronger and big red lanterns have been hung on the street lamps early on, but that’s all.

Although Shanghai is not a pure immigrant city like Shenzhen, it also has a large number of non-local residents, and they will return home one after another in the next 18 days.

After leaving the airport, Lu Liang came to the company. All kinds of expensive cigarettes, teas, alcohols, and Chinese herbal medicines from previous years almost filled half of the office.

"Pick some and send them to your uncle." Lu Liang called Fang Shiyu and told him to take whatever he liked and pack it up and send it back to his hometown.

There were so many in previous years that his storage room was already full, and he had to have someone clean out the expired ones regularly every once in a while.

"My father quit smoking and drinking. He got thyroiditis some time ago and has been taking medicine ever since." Fang Shiyu said in a muffled voice.

"When did it happen? Why didn't you tell me?" Lu Liang frowned.

"When I found out, he had already completed the surgery and was discharged from the hospital." Fang Shiyu also just found out.

Lu Liang sighed and picked out some nourishing Chinese medicinal herbs: "Send them to my uncle."

Fang Shiyu nodded, and Lu Liang finished processing some documents and came to the private equity company on the 17th floor.

He left Sun Yutao in New York to set up an office and he probably wouldn't be able to return before the Spring Festival.

The total size of the two funds is US$132 billion. Normally, without Lu Liang's instructions, they have been conducting quantitative trading in US stocks, which means selling high and buying low to reduce the cost of chips.

"This year's Spring Festival atmosphere seems to have arrived a little earlier than in previous years."

Lu Liang took a walk and returned to the office upstairs. He was a little uncomfortable with having nothing to do suddenly.

Xu Jiawei gently reminded: "Mr. Lu, tomorrow is the 20th."

"What's wrong?" Lu Liang asked puzzledly.

GM's technical team was to arrive on the 25th, but he didn't remember what they were busy with on the 20th.

Xu Jiawei took out his notebook and said, "Mr. Lu, you said at the end of last month that you would go to the airport to pick someone up on the 20th."

Lu Liang suddenly realized and remembered.

Su Wanyu and her daughter are on tomorrow's flight, but Zheng Xiaoxuan hasn't followed yet.

It seems that the plan to have a baby can be implemented in advance to avoid the two children having too big an age gap.
