After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 599 Park Promotional Video

"Then let's buy an apartment in Wharf Garden."

Lu Liang remained silent for a few seconds, thinking of many sentimental things to say, but swallowed them all back before he could say them.

"Above is Jinji Lake, below is Dushu Lake, seven kilometers to the left is the city center, and seven kilometers to the right is Tianxing Industrial Park."

He turned to introduce the surrounding area and said, "In this way, we won't have to stay in hotels every day when we come to Suzhou."

"That's what I thought too." Li Manli said happily, hugging Lu Liang and asking, "How much is it per square meter?"

"This is not a problem for you to consider."

Lu Liang smiled and gently patted the little head: "Go pick one tomorrow, and send me the location once you've chosen one. Pick one that's a bit bigger and better."

He vaguely remembered that Wharf Holdings cost around 100,000 per square meter, but it didn't matter much; even if it cost around 100,000 per square foot, it was still just so-so.

When a person has no money, they only have one kind of trouble. When a person has money, they will have countless troubles, but not the kind of troubles that come with not having money.

"Mmm~" Li Manli said happily, snuggling into Lu Liang's arms and acting coquettishly.

The next morning, Lu Liang arrived at the reception room of the park's office building, where the CCTV team had arrived early.

"Mr. Lu, hello. I am Zhuang Qiang, the director and planner of this interview. This is Ouyang Dan."

A middle-aged man in his forties, thin in build, with a big smile on his face, introduced the team members and their positions.

The team consists of four men and one woman, and their structure is similar to that of Wang Chuting's studio, with directors, planners, cameramen, and hosts.

"Hello, Teacher Ouyang. You're even prettier in person than in the photos." Lu Liang greeted everyone, his gaze landing on Ouyang Dan.

Ouyang Dan is seven or eight years older than Lu Liang. She was once CCTV's top female host and won the title of gold medal host for many years. However, for some reason, she seemed to disappear for a year or two before making a comeback recently.

Ouyang Dan laughed heartily: "President Lu, you flatter me."

"Director Zhuang, how should we film it, and where should we start filming?"

Lu Liang smiled and turned his gaze back to Zhuang Qiang.

Ouyang Dan is an intellectual beauty; he only admires her, but she is not his type.

"Mr. Lu, can we go to the factory and film as we go, or should we just sit down and conduct the interview?"

Zhuang Qiang asked Lu Liang for his opinion, and then said, "It might be a bit dry sitting down."

Lu Liang chuckled: "Then let's chat as we walk. You can edit it later anyway."

There will likely be another round of recruitment expansion next, and he hopes to attract more talented individuals to join.

The factory has no shortage of general workers, given its generous benefits; what it lacks are technical and managerial talent.

It's early May now, and a large number of fresh graduates or interns are entering the market.

Despite its current fame, Tianxing Auto is still a relatively new company.

If you let top talents choose, they would prefer BBA (BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi) or TMD (Telecom, Media, and Didi).

Just like Cao Wang, who was scolded like a grandson by Lu Liang at the supplier exhibition a few days ago.

It's impossible to forget past grievances with a smile, because he's waiting, and everyone else is waiting too.

When the sales reports for May and June come out, we should either take advantage of their misfortune or we will be targeted.

Ouyang Dan had been recuperating for over a year, but her skills remained undiminished. She briefly checked a few questions with Lu Liang before starting the interview.

Lu Liang's avoidance of certain topics was simple, with only two points: not to mention his family or his private life. He could ask anything else, but whether or not he answered was up to him.

Ouyang Dan understood immediately and signaled the camera to start recording, instantly getting into the zone: "President Lu, the number of locked orders for Tian Shu No. 2 has exceeded 100,000. Could you please tell me the approximate number now?"

Lu Liang said, "The first batch of deliveries took place yesterday, and the number of orders has increased slightly. It should be around 120,000 to 130,000 now."

When the group arrived at the workshop, he called over Zhuo Yifan and Luo Peiyong: "These two are my colleagues in the workshop. There are some technical issues that I don't know much about, so you can ask them."

The shoot was divided into two parts. Lu Liang and Ouyang Dan continued to stroll around the factory, while Zhuang Qiang and another cameraman talked with Zhuo Yifan and Luo Peiyong to learn about the situation in order to write the script later.

Ouyang Dan exclaimed in surprise: "I remember that Li Auto only managed to get over 100,000 orders after three years of development."

Lu Liang nodded and smiled, "It's mainly because we caught a good time. This market has been growing steadily, almost doubling every year."

"Li Auto's total sales exceeded 100,000 units, which was only before May. During the three days of the Suzhou Auto Show, they secured orders for 10,000 units."

Ouyang Dan suddenly realized and asked, "President Lu, I heard that Tianxing's factory seems to be facing a serious shortage of production capacity."

Upon learning that she would be interviewing Lu Liang, she did extensive research. Among the findings was the revelation that after the announcement of the 100,000 units ordered, his delivery date had been scheduled for 20-24 weeks, at least five months later. It is well known that the new energy industry is developing rapidly, comparable to the smartphone industry seven or eight years ago.

Some people worry that while Tian Shu may be a top-of-the-line intelligent electric vehicle at this time, it may be eliminated by the market in six months.

Lu Liang stopped and chuckled, "I have great confidence in our Tian Shu. Even if it takes a year, our technological competitiveness will not decline."

Ouyang Dan nodded, then looked into the distance. There seemed to be production lines and workshops, but no one was there.

She couldn't help but ask, "Mr. Lu, I've noticed that Tianxing's factory seems to have extra production workshops?"

"Indeed."

Lu Liang sighed, looking melancholy: "Actually, we were prepared a long time ago. We purchased a total of ten production lines. If the capacity is fully released, the monthly production capacity can reach a maximum of 4.8."

"Did the management make a mistake in their judgment?" Ouyang Dan asked cautiously.

"It was my misjudgment," Lu Liang said with a wry smile, not trying to shirk responsibility.

He said, "We conducted a lot of market research when we were preparing for Tian Shu."

"Taking the market over the past three years as an example, approximately 5.2 coupe models of gasoline-powered vehicles were sold annually, accounting for 52% of the total annual sales."

"Last year, the total sales volume of new energy vehicles was about 121 million units. This year, the total sales volume should conservatively reach more than 220 million units."

"5.2% of 220 million is 12.32 units. On average, the monthly sales of new energy coupe models should be 1.02 units."

"As a new company and a newcomer to the industry, we should remain humble and respectful, so our monthly production capacity is tentatively set at more than 5,000 units."

"But we underestimated the market's enthusiasm."

Lu Liang looked helplessly at Ouyang Dan: "Teacher Ouyang, do you know what we expect from the 24 hours following the press conference?"

"How much?" A strange look flashed in Ouyang Dan's eyes. She felt that Lu Liang was pretending, but it didn't seem like he was pretending.

"We guarantee 5,000, aim for 10,000, but don't exceed 20,000. We know that once the number of locked orders exceeds 20,000, the delivery date will be extended to more than 8 weeks, and we don't want our customers to wait too long."

Lu Liang sighed: "But the goal of 20,000 was achieved in the first hour after the press conference ended."

Even though more than 20,000 locked orders were cancelled for some reason, the number of locked orders in 24 hours was still more than 30,000.

As of now, it has exceeded our expectations by about six times.

"Mr. Lu, does your company have any plans to increase production so that customers who have placed orders can receive their cars sooner?"

Ouyang Dan asked again, her face showing the same helplessness as Lu Liang's, which made her realize that Boss Lu was pretending.

Lu Liang bowed slightly and led Ouyang Dan and the cameraman to another workshop: "There are two more production lines here, which we plan to put into use."

"Equipment debugging, personnel recruitment and training, and trial production all take time, at least two months."

"With graduation season just around the corner, interested students can give Tianxing a try. Our benefits and compensation are far superior to those of our competitors."

Ouyang Dan was both amused and exasperated: "President Lu, are you advertising?"

"Do we need to pay advertising fees?" Lu Liang asked with a smile.

"Need not."

Ouyang Dan shook her head and said to the camera, "Interested students can come and give it a try. Along the way, I have seen many young faces, which makes me feel that Tianxing is a vibrant and dynamic new company."

"The boss is also very witty and humorous, and most importantly, handsome." Lu Liang smiled, his eyes crinkling.

Ouyang Dan was taken aback, then smiled wryly and said, "President Lu, I can't guarantee that I can stay for this role."

"It's okay, just treat it as a side story."

"..."

Ouyang Dan was speechless. It was clear that Lu Liang regarded CCTV as an online streaming media. However, whether these moments could be preserved was not up to her, nor was it her place to worry about it.

After leaving the production workshop, the group went to the canteen, employee dormitory, and office building.

The entire company is showing a trend of youthfulness. As Lu Liang said, their average age is 32.8 years old, which is younger than him.

Ouyang Dan suddenly realized something.

Now I finally understand why Lu Liang, who had always refused interviews, finally agreed to be interviewed.

The day-long shoot felt to her like Lu Liang's personal showcase and a promotional video for the park.
