After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 595 Let the bullets fly for a while

"Even Hu Weiwei can make witty remarks now. Hopefully, it won't be like opening champagne halfway through the game."

Lu Liang couldn't help but chuckle, turning to Xu Jiawei: "Have you made your choice? Which media outlets are more authoritative?"

He plans to accept one or two authoritative media interviews to further boost the popularity of Tian Shu.

So what if there are a lot of locked orders? So what if the delivery date is late? Anyway, I'm not afraid of itching when I have too many lice.

“Mr. Lu, some of the more authoritative media outlets are Phoenix TV, Guangming Daily, and Southern Daily,” Xu Jiawei added. “We heard that CCTV also sent an invitation because we heard you were willing to be interviewed.”

"We can't refuse the central bank's request, so let's set it for after the 5th. You can negotiate the specific time yourselves."

The auto show lasted three days, from the 1st to the 3rd, but on the afternoon of the 2nd, Tian Shu's order volume exceeded 100,000.

The moment the figure reached six figures, Tianxing Auto's official account immediately announced the good news.

"Looking forward to the day my Tian Shu arrives at the store."

"100,000 units locked in, Lu Liang has a lot of die-hard fans."

"What Li Auto couldn't cover in two years, Tianxing Auto covered in just five days."

The news caused an uproar both inside and outside the industry.

The pre-ordered car owners felt a sense of satisfaction, as if they were not alone, and they spread the word everywhere, kicking Tesla and punching BYD.

Surprisingly, neither competitors nor critics offered any opinions, not even a single word of congratulations.

As the saying goes, laymen watch the spectacle, while experts see the details. A new brand and new car that has not yet been tested by the market has achieved such great success.

If you want to wear the crown, you must bear its weight. Whether Tianxing Motors and Luliang have the brains to do so remains to be seen.

Ten thousand locked orders can be fuel that propels a rocket into the sky, or they can be death warrants.

The results will be announced gradually this month and next month as deliveries are made.

If Tianxing Automotive's head doesn't get the crown, then they've acted like petty villains in vain; it's better to let the dust settle.

On May 3, the Suzhou New Energy Vehicle Exhibition and Supplier Exhibition both came to an end.

This auto show featured 23 new energy vehicle brands and 48 new energy vehicles, with orders reaching 7.8 units over three days.

Tianxing Tianshu led the pack with 1.92 units, followed by Tesla with 1.24 units and Li Auto with 9824 units.

At the supplier exhibition next door, 118 cooperation agreements were reached with 19 companies, involving a total amount of 287.24 billion yuan.

The last few exhibition halls received a total of 55.32 visitors, making it an absolute success.

After finishing up the exhibition, Xu Daolai visited Lu Liang at Tianxing Park on the evening of the 4th.

Because of this exhibition, the deputy director's seal seems to have loosened a bit, and he is expected to challenge for the director position next year.

However, even if he is the director, he is still in the external propaganda department. If he wants to repeat the same thing next year, he will still need Lu Liang's support.

It's always better to cultivate and maintain relationships beforehand than to rely on a sweetheart when things are going well but not on a shrew when they're not.

"Director Xu, you're too kind. There's no need for you to make a special trip."

The Tianxing Park Auditorium was already prepared with a red carpet and flowers, and there were also fifty Tian Shu vehicles that were about to be delivered.

Lu Liang is learning about the process for the first batch of deliveries tomorrow. His main task is to work as a doorman and a chauffeur.

Unlike finance, manufacturing has very few things to worry about. It's not that his power has been undermined, but rather that he has specialized expertise.

Hu Weiwei and Wang Xiaofeng had already handled everything perfectly, and the former Mobike duo set sail again.

But now, they are not serving Mobike, nor Li Bing, but Tianxing Auto and Lu Liang.

"I just finished my work and have a few days off. I heard that the Tian Shu is going to be delivered tomorrow, so I came to see if there's anything I can help with."

Xu Daolai said with a smile that when he learned about Lu Liang's job tomorrow, he couldn't help but laugh: "The salary is so high, it makes me want to buy it myself."

“300,000 is not expensive. I remember that the Suzhou government gave particularly high subsidies to public officials in order to support the new energy industry.”

Lu Liang recalled a conversation he had with city leaders some time ago, in which the Suzhou municipal government spared no expense in supporting new energy sources to retain its employees.

For local new energy vehicle companies in Suzhou, the highest standard for first-time car purchases is a cash subsidy of 50,000 yuan, and the discounts can be stacked.

The Tian Shu Pro version, priced at less than 300,000 yuan, could have an actual purchase cost of just over 200,000 yuan if all subsidies and discounts were fully utilized.

Xu Daolai is not yet forty years old, but he is already a division-level cadre. With so many years of savings, it shouldn't be a problem for him to come up with two or three hundred thousand yuan.

"I really like it, but Mr. Lu, your company's car is too beautiful and not suitable."

Xu Daolai smiled wryly. He really liked it and could afford it, but it was a sports car model, which was not suitable for public officials.

If he were ten years younger, he might have bought it, but now that he's almost forty, Volkswagen is more suitable for him.

"I didn't expect that being beautiful could be a flaw." Lu Liang smiled, not insisting, nor did he have any intention of giving him a car.

Their mutually beneficial cooperative relationship changes the nature of the transaction once money is given, and he has no reason to bribe Xu Daolai.

To put it bluntly, he's not qualified. If he were, it wouldn't be him visiting tonight, but Lu Liang.

After exchanging a few words and realizing he couldn't offer any help, Xu Daolai said goodbye and left.

"President Lu, what's Director Xu doing here?" Wang Xiaofeng was completely bewildered. He came and went in a hurry, as if he were just going through the motions.

"It's nothing, don't worry about it." Lu Liang smiled and stretched. "Let's go back to sleep. We have to get up early tomorrow."

He walked to the Marriott Hotel next door and happened to see Xiao Wang holding a beautiful woman while checking in at the front desk.

Xiao Wang's devotion made Lu Liang, who was also devoted to love, feel ashamed of himself. From the moment he met Xiao Wang, he had always been attracted to the effeminate, internet-famous faces.

For three years, he changed girlfriends every day, but the type of girlfriend never changed. Lu Liang even wondered if he had been hurt by similar women before.

"Why did you suddenly come here?" Lu Liang asked curiously.

Xiao Wang smiled, his girlfriend being tossed aside. He pulled out an invitation from his pocket: "Tianxing Motors invited me to attend the first batch of deliveries. I can't think of a reason to refuse."

"008? How much did it cost?"

Lu Liang was speechless. If Xiao Wang had snatched this numbered list himself, he would have dared to eat the invitation.

“Supporting my brother’s business is what I should do, isn’t it? Talking about money is too formal,” Xiao Wang said earnestly.

That bastard Lu Liang said he'd give him a car, but he just said it and that was it; there's been no word from him since.

He was too lazy to wait for something worth hundreds of thousands of yuan, so he simply paid a little more and became one of the first fifty car owners to receive their vehicles.

"Then you can keep supporting me, I'm going back to my room to sleep." Lu Liang yawned, too lazy to banter with Xiao Wang.

Xiao Wang quickly said, "I've come all this way, you should at least treat me to a late-night snack."

"Just order whatever you want to eat or drink at the front desk, and put it under my room name."

Lu Liang waved his hand and walked into the elevator without looking back, leaving Xiao Wang bewildered in the wind.

He looked at his girlfriend, whom he had just met online, and said dejectedly, "Forget it, I can't be bothered with him. Let's go eat."

On the other side, Lu Liang arrived at the room.

As long as Li Manli is still around, she hasn't left, and in the last few days she's even started live streaming.

Hearing the noise coming from the entrance, she suddenly froze, not even blinking.

Seeing this, Lu Liang smiled, crossed his arms, and watched her performance with great interest.

Unsurprisingly, she was pretending to be frozen again.

She quietly crawled to the power button on the computer, pressed it for a few seconds, and breathed a sigh of relief when the screen went black.

Li Manli wobbled over to Lu Liang with her duckling-like steps: "You're off work so early today?"

"I have something to do tomorrow and need to get up early, so I'm coming back to rest early today."

Lu Liang reached out and put his arm around her slender waist. He guessed that she hadn't exercised for a while, and her abs had been replaced by a little belly.

He buried his head in his hair, pressed his cheek against his collarbone, and greedily inhaled Li Manli's scent.

Li Manli smiled, her eyes crinkling, and wrapped her arms around Lu Liang, whispering softly, "Little baby~ sleep, sleep~"

Then he received a light slap on the head, and Lu Liang said irritably, "Don't be disrespectful."

"Aww~" Li Manli pouted, hugged Lu Liang for a long time before saying, "Have you been very tired these past few days?"

"Yeah, I haven't slept much."

Upon hearing Lu Liang's words, Li Manli suddenly said, "Brother Liang, I recently learned a very effective way to fall asleep."

She ran to the bathroom, filled the bathtub with hot water, changed into a Japanese yukata, stood at the door waving a towel, and smiled, "Sir, please come in~"

Lu Liang was taken aback, thinking of Sakurada Miyuki in Tokyo. She was a year younger than Li Manli, and the two had very similar personalities, but were also fundamentally different.

Miyuki Sakurada was innocent and carefree from a young age, but became withdrawn after her family fell on hard times. She has only recently regained her cheerful and optimistic nature.

In contrast, Li Manli was born into a patriarchal and conservative family, and she must have learned to be cheerful and optimistic later in life.

"Brother Liang?" Li Manli called softly, then suddenly became downcast: "Oh right, you should have soaked in an authentic Japanese hot spring."

“I’m always busy when I go to Tokyo, I never have time for a hot spring bath.” Lu Liang laughed, reaching out to lift her chin. “What’s next?”

Li Manli smiled broadly: "I'll help you wash up first, then you can soak in the tub, and finally I'll give you a massage."

"Is this massage legitimate?"

"Sir, stop overthinking. This is a legitimate store."

Li Manli had a stern face, probably starting to construct the corresponding scenario in her mind again.

"I can pay more; you can do your thing, and I'll do mine."

"That won't work either, we're very professional here."

"I understand, then I'll give you a tip."

"I'll think about it."

"Is there even a need to consider it?"
