After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 594 has an exceptionally good reputation.

"A base salary of 3800 for general workers with no sales targets?"

"Nobody stop me, I'm going to Suzhou right now."

"Nobody's going to stop you. Take me with you."

"Wow, a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan. If I didn't graduate from a 211 university, I would want to go there."

"According to those who work there, undergraduates and above who join Tianxing can also participate in the group's talent reserve program. After the internship, the minimum base salary is 4000 yuan, and with food allowance, housing allowance, and full attendance bonus, the monthly salary is at least 12 yuan."

"Could someone help me ask President Lu if he's a graduate of a 211 university majoring in philosophy, exploring the mysteries of life, such as 'Who am I?'? That's also very important."

"Are they all so vulgar? Don't you think President Lu's words were very powerful? The significance of industrial upgrading..."

"Haven't you noticed yet? Everyone calls him President Lu now, nobody calls him Liangzi anymore."

"Just call me that, it's more affectionate to call me Liangzi."

A member of the public filmed a 32-second short video.
Once uploaded, it went viral across the entire internet.

The base salary is guaranteed, also known as a minimum wage. Even if you don't work a single day, as long as you're not fired, your monthly salary will be at least 3800.

If other companies said this, netizens certainly wouldn't believe it, but Lu Liang's company still has a great reputation.

Although the internet has no memory, everything that has happened in the past leaves a trace.

For example, two years ago, someone revealed that the minimum annual salary for employees at Tianxing Investment was 25 yuan.

The annual meeting prizes included a brand new Apple phone for everyone.

However, it is rumored online that the investment company has only two employees with a minimum educational background: one with a junior college degree and the other with a bachelor's degree from a second-tier university, while the rest are graduates of top-tier universities (985 universities).

Online, it's easy to talk about 985 universities, but in reality, in third- or fourth-tier cities, the number of students admitted to 985 universities each year is probably less than a handful.

The interview threshold for Tianxing Investment is exceptionally high; even graduates from top-tier universities (like those in the 985 Project) may be rejected.

In contrast, Tianxing Auto, while also requiring general workers to have a certain level of education, only requires a vocational school or high school diploma.

With such a threshold, even if there aren't 100 million, there are probably tens of millions of eligible young men and women nationwide.

As a result, the email inbox of Tianxing Auto's HR department was flooded with messages, and the email inbox of Tianxing Investment was also flooded with messages.

Since most people don't even look at the resumes they submit, if they can't submit the former, they'll submit the latter.

Of China's 14 billion people, only 728 million earn a monthly salary of over 10,000 yuan. By joining Tianxing Auto, they can surpass 99.48% of the population.

Lu Liang has once again become a positive example, while Cao Wang's hypocritical true nature has been exposed by netizens.

Over the years, he has indeed donated more than 10 billion yuan, but an employee revealed that he worked at Yaofu for 18 years and developed lung cancer due to long-term exposure to chemicals. As a result, the factory gave him tens of thousands of yuan and fired him.

Some employees also said that working at Yaofu Glass, 5,000 yuan is considered a high salary, as Yaofu is a well-known sweatshop in Fujian.

The boss does charity work to build a good reputation, but internally he engages in endless exploitation, making him a modern-day Zhou Bapi (a notorious exploiter).

"If a company raises salaries, it has to consider whether other companies can accept it. Screw you."

"Mr. Lu is right. Before the industrial upgrade, the monthly salary was 3,000. After the industrial upgrade, it's still 3,000. What kind of upgrade is that?"

The public outcry intensified until it reached Lu Liang's ears, leaving him speechless with astonishment.

He knew Yaofu's specific revenue because he planned to bring Yaofu on board last year.

He didn't know Cao Wang very well, and he never expected him to be such a despicable person.
They only care about their own enjoyment and completely disregard the well-being of the company's employees.

Moreover, there are too many shady dealings involved in this donation, but since he doesn't know the details, he won't comment.

"Mr. Lu, let's shake hands. We're still good friends. Why make a scene?"

Ningde Laozeng acted as a peacemaker, smiling and saying, "It's better to resolve conflicts than to create them. Please give me some face, okay?"

Although his social status was higher than Lu Liang's and his personal wealth was only slightly less, he did not dare to be too forceful in front of Lu Liang.

Thirty-three years old is very young. If one takes a hard line, it may backfire.

Moreover, he was also very wary of Lu Liang.

Even though Ningde completed its ex-rights process last month and issued 10% more shares to the market, it is an indisputable fact that Lu Liang directly or indirectly holds 19.86% of Ningde Times' equity.

With his influence in the financial market, even holding 10% of the shares would be enough to make any business leader wary.

"Since President Zeng has spoken, we must give him face." Lu Liang smiled and let it go. He had already achieved his goal, so he was very magnanimous.

"President Lu, please forgive my bluntness." Cao Wang suppressed his anger, forcing a smile that looked more like a grimace.

Old Zeng just analyzed the pros and cons for him. Fuyao's refusal to join the industrial zone was an extremely bad move.

If he offends Lu Liang for the sake of a personal argument, and still holds a production area office worth over 30 billion yuan, he could completely rebuild Yaofu.

In the glass industry, anyone who dares to challenge Yaofu's position will be offered money at will, and given Lu Liang's personality, he is perfectly capable of doing so.

"Mr. Cao, you're too kind. You're too kind. Sometimes I don't think before I speak," Lu Liang said with a smile.

Ning De Lao Zeng chuckled and changed the subject: "President Lu, I think this exhibition can be held more often in the future."

"It hasn't been long, and we've already signed cooperation agreements with Li Auto and NIO to customize lithium batteries for their new cars this fall."

"The main difference is that the first-generation Kirin is significantly more efficient and energy-saving than the second generation, while the Blade Battery is slightly inferior." Li Xiang flattered with a smile, but the reality was that BYD's Blade Battery was slightly better than Ningde's second-generation Kirin.

But BYD is capable of producing both batteries and manufacturing complete vehicles, and doing both very successfully.

Now, with the launch of the Denza X luxury SUV, it's possible that it might one day become a competitor to Li Auto.

Cooperating with BYD would be tantamount to aiding the enemy.

In contrast, Ningde Times focuses on power battery manufacturing and is merely a supplier, so there is no competition between them.

Li Bing chimed in, "But Mr. Zeng, could the price of the batteries be reduced a bit? We can explore deeper cooperation on our battery swapping project."

Old Zeng smiled wryly: "Everyone, we don't want to raise prices either, because it would make us less competitive, but international raw material prices keep rising, and there's nothing we can do about it."

"Were you also affected by the trade friction?" Lu Liang asked.

Old Zeng nodded and sighed, "Since March, the price of imported raw materials such as cobalt and lithium has increased by at least 15%-25% per ton."

He suddenly asked, "Mr. Lu, is the future situation better or worse?"

Upon hearing this topic, even Cao Wang, who had always disliked Lu Liang, perked up his ears to eavesdrop.

The essence of finance is information asymmetry, and those who succeed in this field all have a keen sense of the market.

Lu Liang may not be involved in the trading of precious metals such as cobalt and lithium, but trade frictions affect not only cobalt and lithium, but also various industries.

Although Cao Wang looked down on nouveau riche like Lu Liang, he did not doubt Lu Liang's financial acumen.

In just over three years, he went from being a nobody to a billionaire, all thanks to the compounding profits in the financial market.

If he dared to question Lu Liang's financial expertise, even the dogs on the street would probably bark at him.

Lu Liang pondered for a moment and sighed, "Let's prepare for a long-term war of resistance. We can't rely too much on imports."

As soon as he finished speaking, the CEOs beside him exchanged glances and all sighed deeply.

They could actually see the current situation clearly, but they still held onto hope and wanted confirmation from the authorities.

The chaotic international situation is very unfriendly to businessmen, especially those in countries where they are in a passive position.

What was said in jest was taken seriously by the listener. Old Cao's beady eyes kept darting around as he remembered Old Te's invitation.

Perhaps we could increase our investment in the US.

It just occurred to me that Lu Liang also had a factory in Detroit, and had received special attention from Trump and the local government.

His expression was as if he had swallowed a fly; no matter where he went, Lu Liang was always there.

"President Cao, is there any other question?" Lu Liang asked, puzzled.

"No."

As noon approached, the heads of various companies left one after another. They went their separate ways; they had only come to make a brief appearance and show their importance, and it was impossible for them to stay for three days straight.

"Director Xu, I'm leaving this to you."

Lu Liang greeted Xu Daolai and shared some good news: the supplier exhibition had achieved a transaction volume of 139 billion yuan in just one morning.

At least 25 billion in three days.

After all, the CEO personally negotiated the deals in the morning, and the scale of the cooperation was quite large. Since the subsequent negotiations were all conducted by representatives, it's normal for the transaction to shrink.

However, both the Loushui Industrial Zone and the Tianxing Industrial Park will be undergoing a round of recruitment expansion, which he instructed the relevant department leaders to discuss.

Whether the first new energy vehicle exhibition will be a success remains to be seen, but the first supplier conference was certainly a success.

"Okay, okay, Mr. Lu, please take care."

Xu Daolai's old face beamed with joy. If either of the two projects succeeded, then it would be a success.

On the way to the park after leaving the convention center.

Lu Liang received a call from Hu Weiwei: "President Lu, the number of locked orders has reached 82,500, and it is still growing rapidly. It should be able to break through the 100,000 mark today."

"How did it grow so fast?" Lu Liang was stunned. Hu Weiwei asked in confusion, "Didn't you and President Cao stir up the buzz again? Oh right, and with that young lady surnamed Li too."

Lu Liang opened Weibo's trending topics, and at least seven of the top ten were related to him.

One is the auto show, another is cars, four are his confrontation with Cao Wang, and one is his rekindling of his old flame with Li Manli.

Lu Liangren was stunned. He suddenly asked, "Have you prepared how to apologize?"

"What's the point of apologizing or making a promise?" Hu Weiwei asked, puzzled.

Lu Liang said with a wry smile, "We'll decide whether to increase production once the June sales figures come out. We already have 100,000 units locked in orders. When will we be able to get them?"

Hu Weiwei was stunned. She racked her brains and thought for a long time: "How about we ask Xiao Chen to help us kowtow?"

"If anyone's going to kowtow, it's you," Lu Liang said irritably.

"Then I'll think of a solution."
