After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 600 Capital Sweeps Out
After finishing the interview in the afternoon, Lu Liang set off back to Shanghai, where he stayed for three days.

Tesla's first-quarter financial report has been released, but under their pressure, the once-thousand-dollar stock price is now an insurmountable chasm.

The closing price last night was $991.52, but in order to short sell, they borrowed $5.7 million worth of shares, incurring $57 in interest alone every day.

The cost price was $1002. Although there is a small profit now, it will turn into a loss as soon as the position is closed, or even if there is a slight rebound.

"There aren't enough negative news items yet, so the impact on Tesla is still too small."

Lu Liang sighed. Although he had asked JPMorgan Chase to remain neutral, JPMorgan was only one of the main players, not the only one.

Moreover, Tesla stock likely has one of the largest number of retail investors in the entire US stock market.

Most retail investors come from Southeast University and have been trained by the A-share market to avoid short selling unless absolutely necessary, and instead just keep covering their positions.

"We still need to see who's truly capable offline."

Hearing Boss Lu muttering to himself, Sun Yutao looked strange.

Before their involvement, Tesla's stock price movement was a standard primary upward trend.

Although there may be pullbacks or sideways movements at times, like ocean waves, each wave will always be higher than the last.

As a result, Lu Liang cut the price in half, and the stock price has fallen from a high of $1282 to the current $991.

Its market value, which once reached $2100 billion, has evaporated by $483 billion, leaving it with only $1617 billion.

Even so, Mr. Lu still said that there weren't enough negative news items and that the impact on Tesla was too small.

It should be noted that Tesla was founded in 03, went public on Nasdaq in 10, and last year was the first year in its 15-year history that it achieved break-even.

It's worth noting that JD.com had a market capitalization of $683 billion three years after its US IPO, but it still loses billions of dollars every year.

In contrast, Tesla is breaking even, and the market is still growing. While a market capitalization of $2100 billion is a lot, it is not unacceptable.

This year should have been a year for Tesla to make great strides, potentially reaching new heights and turning the five major US stock markets into six.

As a result, he encountered Lu Liang, who wielded the Dragon-Slaying Saber, and his fate was truly tragic and miserable.

Fortunately, they transferred their shares to JPMorgan Chase, allowing them to sit back and watch the two sides fight.

Otherwise, shorting Tesla would have resulted in being wiped out by the bulls long ago.

"I'm going to the capital tomorrow, so please keep a close eye on things here."

Having spent three days in Shanghai and completed all the necessary official business, Lu Liang should now head to the capital to resolve the personnel transfer issues.

With only two months left, it's really unfortunate that trade frictions have escalated, Tian Shu's sales figures have been released, and everything is happening all at once.

After leaving the company, before it got dark, Lu Liang arrived at the Sky Garden residential area, where Wang Chuting had begun her pregnancy and entered a semi-retired state.

"It's strange, you've been pregnant for over five months, 22 weeks, why are you only starting to show now?" Lu Liang browsed through the medical report.

"I have a large frame and a good physique, is that not allowed?" Wang Chuting said arrogantly, suddenly raising her long, straight leg that was more than a meter long.

"You're 177cm, I'm 181cm. This kid is amazing. He's probably at least 1.9 meters tall. He's a natural-born basketball player."

Lu Liang rested his head on Wang Chuting's lap, gazing at her increasingly soft jawline, and couldn't help but smile.

"What's so great about playing basketball? He's going to do great things in the future." Wang Chuting glared at him, gently stroking her lower abdomen, her face radiating maternal warmth.

"Have you decided on a name yet?" she asked.

"You're already starting to think about it? Isn't that too early?" Lu Liang frowned; naming things had always been one of his weaknesses.

"Of course! I've been thinking about it for a while now. I have a pretty good name for you. Would you like to hear it?" Wang Chuting said with a smile.

"Tell me."

"Lu Chujun, Chu as in 'clear,' Jun as in 'gentleman,' how about it?"

"To be determined."

Lu Liang felt something was wrong the more he thought about it, until he saw Wang Chuting reveal an unusual sly smile.

"Are you hoping I'll die soon so you can take the throne?" His eyes were unfriendly, and his cheeks suddenly buried in the granary of the future.

"No, that's not true. I just think the name sounds nice."

After being teased a few times, Wang Chuting's cheeks flushed red and she became breathless.

However, she remembered that there was a show tonight, and quickly begged, "Let's do it later, the show is about to start."

Lu Liang had told her that a few days ago, during an interview with CCTV, he mentioned Ouyang Dan, and she immediately recognized her as someone from the "Face to Face" program. It airs on the main channel every Friday at 9:30 PM. She had once wanted to work for that program but was rejected, so she went to Forbes instead.

Lu Liang stopped what he was doing, hugged Wang Chuting in his arms, played with the grain bin, and waited for the show to air: "Didn't you say you were getting scholarships so many you couldn't keep up with the demand, and you still got rejected?"

Wang Chuting remained silent for a long time before softly saying, "Because I am of mixed race and do not yet have a father."

Everyone who wants to get into CCTV has to undergo a background check. I passed the written test and the interview, but I was rejected at the background check stage.

"It's fine if you don't go to CCTV. Don't think too much about it. From now on, I'll be the father of you and your daughter."

Lu Liang's words touched Wang Chuting, but his actions made her very unhappy.

"Could you please take your hand away before saying such things?"

"It's cold, but it feels warm to the touch."

"..."

Wang Chuting was speechless. Suddenly, she heard the sound of the program starting, and could only suppress her discomfort by clenching her thighs together.

Lu Liang was puzzled. He saw Wang Chuting take out her phone and suddenly couldn't figure out if she wanted to watch the show or play on her phone.

"You don't understand, do you? Watching the show while scrolling through the comments is one of the few pleasures I have."

Wang Chuting entered the Weibo super topic with a smug look on her face. The channel is divided into three levels and nine sub-levels, and she is the highest level, Diamond 3.

As the show officially aired, Lu Liang's Weibo super topic was refreshing rapidly with three comments per second.

"That's hilarious, no wonder the waiting list is after 24 weeks."

"It turns out that even Ryoko can make mistakes in her predictions."

"I feel so sorry for Sister Dan, she must be feeling really uncomfortable."

"If our competitors heard this, how would they feel?"

Wang Chuting's aloof image has completely collapsed. Just like those star-chasing girls, she passionately interacts with Lu Liang's fans in the super topic, often letting out giggles.

Lu Liang was speechless: "Can you stop being so vain?"

“But that’s just my taste.” Wang Chuting tilted her chin up, not ashamed, but proud.

Suddenly she put on a weak and pitiful act, saying, "I've always had to rely on myself since I was little. It's not easy to meet someone reliable. The brighter your light shines, the happier I am."

"But the real deal is right in front of us." Lu Liang couldn't help but chuckle, not foolish enough to ask what would happen if the light dimmed one day.

No matter who it was, they all came to him after he became wealthy, so he always believed that their relationship was one of supply and demand, a bond of interests.

Wang Chuting gave him a coquettish glare, undressed, and threatened fiercely, "If you don't want anything to happen to your son, you'd better just lie down."

Lu Liang was stunned, and nodded with a wry smile, because it seemed that he could only accept threats.

Meanwhile, news of Lu Liang's interview with CCTV gradually gained traction.

The peak production capacity of 48,000 is intentionally limited to just over 5,000.

The two pieces of news were like two huge rocks, crashing heavily into the hearts of our competitors.

Despite the widespread online mockery of Lu Liang, who is accused of overestimating others while underestimating himself, he has not underestimated the potential of this industry, setting up ten production lines as soon as he entered the market.

The production line will be fully operational within three months at the earliest, and six months at the latest, with a monthly production capacity of 4.8 units.

"Shouldn't these two pieces of news be enough to make investors increase their investment?"

That evening, new energy-related companies were in turmoil, and numerous large companies and groups held emergency meetings immediately.

They may belong to different industries, but they have only one goal: to accelerate the development of the new energy industry chain.

The following morning, major manufacturers such as Tencent and OPPO, along with other mobile phone manufacturers, made high-profile announcements of their three-year or five-year plans.

With a shared goal, targeting new energy, and no longer hiding their efforts behind the scenes as before.

At the same time, as soon as Lu Liang landed in Beijing, he received a call from Li Bing: "Mr. Lu, Mr. Ma from Tencent just called me and is planning to invest in NIO."

"That's fine. As long as the price is right, I have no objection. After all, all that Penguin has left is money."

Lu Liang smiled, but his expression was serious.
