After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 610 Unknown Accident
"What did Temasek say?"

"I haven't told them yet; I plan to find out more from nearby sources."

"This is a bit tricky, especially considering it happened at this particular time."

Lu Liang frowned. This situation likely meant that TK was being given a choice.

"What choice?" Zhang Yiming asked.

"Beheading, or being a dog?"

As Lu Liang sipped his tea, he suddenly began to recount how Old Te had become a dark horse in the past.

He had participated in shorting inverse indices at the time, so he had a particularly strong memory of this event.

"There are two main reasons for his election. First, the public craves change and no longer wants traditional people to be elected."

"Secondly, his voters are younger because he uses new channels that traditional parties have never used."

"The story of the little blue bird ruling the country is more than just a joke."

"Then the reason why TK is being targeted is obvious. Claims of privacy violations and racial discrimination are nonsense."

"To put it bluntly, it's a partisan struggle. The traditionalists don't want someone like him to appear, and they also know they should utilize the power of new channels. Trump has already boarded the train, and he wants to weld the doors shut to prevent others from following suit."

Lu Liang succinctly captured the essence of the matter. After a moment of contemplation, he added, "Time is probably running out for TK."

"Mr. Lu, why would you say that?"

Zhang Yiming was puzzled and humbly sought his guidance.

TK being targeted is a recent development; theoretically, they have had ample time.

"Currently, it's just internal party strife. But if TK adopts a stalling strategy and lets things develop unchecked, then things might change."

Lu Liang glanced at Zhang Yiming and saw through his little scheme almost instantly.

Sometimes, there really is a way out. If there's really no other way, don't worry about what's going to happen. Just take it one step at a time and deal with whatever comes your way.

But sometimes, when you reach a dead end, all that's left is the option of crashing the car and losing your life.

"The DAP is targeting TK because it doesn't want TK to fall into the hands of others, especially the DAP. The DAP's reason for targeting TK is the same, but what the public sees is different."

Lu Liang told a short story: "At night, two groups of people fought each other. The county magistrate knew that they were Si Lang's men, and Si Lang also knew that they were the county magistrate's men, but the people thought they were real bandits."

"If the two parties continue to target TK so much, TK will become a bandit even if it's not one, and will eventually become a pledge of allegiance to one side."

"A phenomenal national software thinks that it can remain neutral and be at peace, but that depends on the place. At least it doesn't apply to the United States."

Zhang Yiming's expression gradually turned grim; he understood.

TK cannot be opportunistic; they need to find a powerful backer to continue their overseas expansion.

It's just that if it involves politics, you can't even write novels about it, let alone such a large company like theirs. It's probably like an old man who's tired of living.

Zhang Yiming looked at Lu Liang with pitiful eyes, hoping that this idea king could come up with a solution.

Lu Liang pondered for a long time: "There is indeed a way, but I don't know if it's a good one."

"Something is better than nothing," Zhang Yiming said with a forced smile.

"Next time I come here, you're not allowed to keep an eye on me."

Lu Liang glanced at him and stated his conditions first. Zhang Yiming looked extremely conflicted and began to play the emotional card: "President Lu, you are the co-founder of Douyin."

Lu Liang was speechless and sighed, "TK is TK, and Douyin is Douyin. Let it develop however it wants, and leave the rest to fate."

Separating and then accelerating development is a way to avoid paying a price, but it only addresses the symptoms, not the root cause.

Unless TK is willing to side with either side, this is an unsolvable dead end. After all, he is a businessman with no real power, and his choices are extremely limited.

Zhang Yiming frowned and suddenly asked, "President Lu, who do you think has the best chance of winning the next election?"

The solution proposed by Lu Liang was not a solution at all, because they had already thought of it.

To truly address the root cause, it's necessary to find a powerful backer.

Actually, being a dog isn't so bad, the key is that the owner you follow has a promising future.

The reason Luliang has been able to develop so rapidly in recent years is mainly because he hit two black swans, one big and one small, with his all-in bet.

The big black swan event was Brexit. Although many people joked at the time that Britain would leave, it was just a joke.

Only Lu Liang truly believed and took concrete actions, ultimately earning hundreds of millions of dollars.

The "little black swan" was Trump's election that year, where he defeated Larry, who had a 16-year political legacy from two terms, against all odds.

The fact that he correctly predicted two low-probability events is enough to demonstrate that Lu Liang has profound insights into the international situation and international politics.

Lu Liang was slightly lost in thought, pondering for a long, long time. Several times he seemed about to speak but then stopped, finally sighing, "I can't see clearly."

Just a few days ago,
He heard the news from the future Trump that he had not been selected.

However, Lu Liang couldn't understand why he lost the election. He was clearly the leader of the restoration of the dynasty, and his promises to the voters were being fulfilled one by one.

For example, the border wall, and the return of manufacturing and capital to the United States. He can be said to be the most credible leader in recent years.

However, news came that he had failed to win re-election, which was just like the battle that Chang Kai fought back then. It was like 800,000 against 600,000, it would be hard to lose.

But those were those years, and now is now.

The American environment doesn't breed naturally gifted, charismatic men. This has even made Lu Liang a bit introverted lately.

What exactly happened in 20 and 21? Many important turning points occurred in these two years.

Moreover, there was another reason why Lu Liang didn't dare to tell Zhang Yiming: he wanted to do something that would bring about the biggest change.

I haven't made a decision yet; I'll wait until at least the fall, after the financial summit held in Shanghai.

"You really can't tell?" Zhang Yiming asked suspiciously; Lu Liang's hesitant attitude was too damn obvious.

"Just think of it as a 50-50 situation, choose the side that's more advantageous to TK right now," Lu Liang said with a smile.

“If you’re not even sure, how can we make a decision so easily?” Zhang Yiming sighed, his face full of worry.

"It's getting late, let's go."

Lu Liang was unwilling to say more and took his leave of Zhang Yiming.

"I'll give it to you."

Zhang Yiming stood downstairs at the company, watching Lu Liang leave, his eyes filled with even deeper worry.

Because at their level, they can say many things, even criticize the government to its face, as long as it benefits the country and its people.

But even Lu Liang is unwilling to mention it, which means that the situation in the next session will definitely be anything but chaotic.

"If we drag this out, TK will die; if we don't drag it out, something bad will happen too. Let's delay it a bit."

Zhang Yiming made his decision, turned around and went back to the company, leaving behind a sigh that lingered for a long time.

From Kuxun to 99fang, and now to ByteDance, he has gotten used to the fact that not every problem has a solution.

Because some things simply have no solution.

As night fell, Lu Liang arrived at Phoenix City near Sanyuan Bridge. Since he had only been to the capital once in a long time, he wanted to make sure everyone received their due.

Xiao Ai is pretty good; at least he ranks in the upper-middle of the leaderboard.

Knowing the password to her door lock, Lu Liang went straight there without saying goodbye.

The room was dark and empty; there was no one there. "I wonder where they went."

"Looks like I'll be able to get a good night's sleep tonight."

Lu Liang suddenly laughed, remembering that he had been working quite hard lately, especially last night.

Xiao Lu has been working too hard these days, he deserves a day off to rest and recuperate.

Zhang Tian's home has a strong sense of home life, perhaps because she has been on holiday for a long time recently and has stocked up on a lot of fresh ingredients in the refrigerator.

However, it seems that in order to maintain their figure, most of them are high in protein and low in fat, such as shrimp, beef and fish. The seasoning bottles are basically unopened, so they are probably just boiled in water with salt.

Lu Liang took a shower, changed into his pajamas, and went to the kitchen. Suddenly, he felt like making himself dinner.

In recent years, he has cooked very few times, and I don't know if he has regressed, after all, he used to be a very good cook.

Half an hour after preparing the ingredients, while making soup, Lu Liang received a call from Wang Xiaofeng.

Bad news: the factory's 18th batch of fault lights has a problem, but the technicians can't figure out what's wrong.

The new cars that roll off the production line at their factory are delivered in batches of 80, and the 18th batch is the one that was delivered in the last few days.

"Is it a large batch or just a few vehicles in this batch?" Lu Liang frowned.

As the hottest product this month, Tian Shu has been compared to other brands' models by countless self-media bloggers who are practically using microscopes.

Any problem can be magnified infinitely, let alone a major problem like a fault light that stays on but the cause cannot be found.

"It's just that there are only eight consecutive numbers in the 18th batch, according to consumer feedback. The vehicles that came off the production line before and after that have no problems," Wang Xiaofeng said hurriedly.

"How do you plan to appease the car owner?" Lu Liang asked.

He doesn't understand technology, and he doesn't know how to solve such rare, accidental events, but he knows that after-sales service must be done well.

"Of the eight car owners, only two are willing to accept a refund," Wang Xiaofeng replied.

"What about the compensation plan? Don't tell me there isn't one, and you're only willing to let them refund the full amount?" Lu Liang's tone grew colder.

Knowing that Lu Liang valued consumers highly, Wang Xiaofeng quickly said, "We'll give you an unlimited, unconditional coupon worth 20,000 yuan. If you choose Tianxing Auto again in the future, you can use it at any of our stores nationwide, and it can be combined with local discounts."

Lu Liang nodded in satisfaction, then asked, "What about the six who didn't accept a refund?"

"Because we returned the car to the factory for repairs and received a full refund, we gave them a 100 yuan taxi voucher per day until the day their new car was delivered."

After hearing Wang Xiaofeng's arrangement, Lu Liang thought for a while and said, "Give them the 20,000 yuan discount coupon as usual, then raise the taxi coupon to 200 yuan per day, and finally ask the two consumers who have already received a refund if they are willing to queue up again."

“You should call and inquire personally, and be humble. We don’t know how many eyes are watching us right now. Lotus’s Blooming Flowers will be released tomorrow, and we absolutely cannot make any mistakes during this period, lest we give others cause for gossip.”

"Understood," Wang Xiaofeng replied quickly.

Just as the two were talking, a hidden camera in the corner of the living room slowly moved and pointed its lens at the kitchen.

　Since returning home to prepare for the Chinese New Year, I feel like everything's fine, yet also like something's on my mind, so I can't seem to focus on writing.

　　There's only one available tonight.
