After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 628 Is there something wrong with that old guy?

"The situation in the new energy market has undergone tremendous changes. Future news is only for reference now and cannot be regarded as the only result."

Lu Liang squinted, neither happy nor sad, because he knew this day would come sooner or later, and he had been preparing for it all along.

The saying "climbing high and looking far" is not just empty talk. His current experience, knowledge, and understanding are far greater than they were three years ago.

Even if future news is only for reference, as long as the general direction is correct, some minor mistakes can be tolerated and allowed.

Throughout history, many famous figures, politicians, and wealthy merchants would not have perished so easily if things had progressed naturally. They often died because of choosing the wrong side and did not have a good end.

Just then, Xu Jiawei knocked on the door to inform Lu Liang that Sun Yutao wanted to see him. Lu Liang said, "Let him in."

"Mr. Lu, the funding and leverage are all ready," Sun Yutao said.

Today is July 2nd, and there are only four days left until the tariffs officially take effect.

They had been preparing for this day for three months.

He sold off over $10 billion in US stock assets and simultaneously, directly or indirectly, partnered with twelve investment banks.

Excluding some non-cashable equity, such as Li Auto which is not yet listed, and NIO shares which, although listed, cannot be sold in order to stabilize shareholders, the company currently has a total of US$150 billion in available funds.

By partnering with 12 investment banks, the $150 billion was leveraged three times, enabling access to over $450 billion in funds.

With over 3000 billion RMB in cash flow, it's no exaggeration to say that they are unmatched in the A-share and Hong Kong stock markets. Even if they encounter BlackRock or Vanguard in the international market, they have the strength to go head-to-head with them.

Although the two companies claim to manage trillions of dollars in assets, their actual available funds are probably no more than a hundred billion dollars.

Such a huge sum of money, if not invested and simply used as daily reserve funds, would result in a loss of at least tens of millions every day.

"25 hours to go, waiting for news from Liang Wenhui."

In just two years, Magic Square's assets have ballooned from 30 billion to 1000 billion, making it the leading domestic quantitative fund.

Liang Wenhui personally led the team and independently developed the Firefly-1 AI model, which deserves much credit. Lu Liang is very much looking forward to seeing what kind of results he can deliver.

"President Lu, there's something I'm not sure if I should say." Sun Yutao hesitated.

Lu Liang glanced at him: "Say what you want to say, or keep it to yourself. Don't give me that crap."

"Ahem... Actually, I have a feeling that the financing process these past few months has been a little too smooth." Sun Yutao smiled awkwardly, expressing his concerns.

With a leveraged investment of $150 billion, even after approaching 12 investment banks both domestically and internationally, each bank would have to contribute at least $25 billion on average.

$25 billion is no small sum. Even taking BOC and CITIC as examples, it took considerable effort, even with the name of Tianxing Luliang, to achieve this.

However, some foreign investment banks remained very calm and obtained billions of dollars in financing quotas without even having to say a word.

Sun Yutao suspected that someone had seen through Lu Liang's intentions and deliberately dug a pit for him, just waiting for him to fall into it.

After all, the settlement date for the fourth phase of the fund is approaching, and this project should be the last action before the settlement and dividend distribution.

With a principal of $150 billion, it leveraged $450 billion in funds, though it wasn't enough to wipe out the entire amount at once.

However, if unexpected situations arise, such as being targeted by a sniper and losing billions of dollars, it is still not difficult.

Investors often only look at the results; if the settlement date shows a loss, then all the previous profits are meaningless.

While one setback might not cause one to lose faith in Lu Liang, it will inevitably have a chain reaction.

For example, Lu Liang's position as the second party, which was as powerful as the first party, no longer exists.

"For example?" Lu Liang frowned slightly.

"For example, State Street, which has been cooperating with us for a long time."

Sun Yutao said, "President Lu, Mr. Hilt, you must have had quite a few interactions with him, right?"

"Is that old guy suspicious? Would he shoot us in the back?" Lu Liang narrowed his eyes, his gaze unfriendly.

"I have no evidence, it's just a feeling."

Sun Yutao quickly explained, fearing that Lu Liang might misunderstand.

"Sometimes, your intuition is right."

Lu Liang looked thoughtful and asked, "How much funding did he provide for us?"

"US$45 billion, second only to BOC's US$52 billion and CITIC's US$48 billion."

"US$45 billion, which is 10% of the total available funds, means we have to be wary of him."

Lu Liang pondered for a moment, then summoned Xu Jiawei: "No need to apply for a flight route, just book the next available flight to Tokyo for me now."

With the safety of $150 billion at stake, he was willing to trust Sun Yutao's intuition and personally make a trip to Tokyo.

Lu Liang then said, "Jiawei, you and Shiyu can come with me, we don't need to bring anyone else."

"Contact Wen Chao and tell him he doesn't need to come in person; just find someone he trusts to pick him up at the airport."

"Try to keep it a secret from people that I went to Tokyo."

Upon hearing that Lu Liang was going to Tokyo in person, Sun Yutao looked worried: "President Lu, what about President Meng from Huawei?"

Going abroad at this time is not a wise move.

"Huawei is in the semiconductor business, while we only know how to make money. We should only worry when Tianxing Motors can completely crush Tesla in the international market."

Lu Liang has replied to Wilson, saying that he needs to think about it for a while before making a decision, and that he is still useful to them.

Hearing this, Sun Yutao stopped trying to persuade him. After explaining everything, Lu Liang changed his clothes, led Xu Jiawei and Fang Shiyu, and casually drove a BMW 3 Series to the airport. "Bye-bye~ Mr. Lu, please step lightly, don't press too hard~"

Despite Chen Jinchun's repeated warnings, she couldn't understand why Lu Liang, with at least ten concubines in his harem, would insist on having an affair with her mistress.

However, Lu Liangli ignored her completely, leaving only the mournful roar of an overloaded engine in the empty underground parking lot.

"These legs feel so mushy." Lu Liang suddenly looked at the dashboard, his face showing a look of disgust.

The Straw Hat Boy dolls sat in a row, along with a bunch of sparkly decorations: "Gaudy and flashy."

Upon hearing this, Xu Jiawei couldn't help but chuckle: "But it actually matches your outfit quite well today."

A bright yellow hoodie, jeans with at least four large holes, and a pair of brightly colored sneakers.

Lu Liang drove this pink-covered 3 Series without looking out of place at all; it was as if he were the owner of the car.

"But isn't it too bright?" Xu Jiawei couldn't help but ask.

She just said she was going to Tokyo secretly, but then she wore such a dazzling outfit. It seems like she's being a bit hypocritical.

"This is called 'the darkest place is under the lamp.'"

Lu Liang drove the car into the parking lot, then put on a baseball cap and sunglasses: "Don't I look like a recent college graduate?"

“Very similar!” Xu Jiawei nodded, and was about to follow Lu Liang when Lu Liang waved his hand and said, “Let’s split up first, and meet up again when we land in Tokyo.”

After saying that, Lu Liang walked towards the boarding gate on his own. Xu Jiawei had no choice but to lead Fang Shiyu past Lu Liang, pretending not to know him.

Half an hour later, I boarded the plane smoothly.

However, the flight, which was scheduled to depart at 6:00, had not yet entered the runway by 6:10.

Lu Liang rubbed his temples, looking troubled. He knew that this usually meant someone was late.

If you are an economy class passenger, you will have to wait about ten minutes, and if you are a business class passenger, it will take half an hour. If you are a foreigner, you will have to wait a long time.

He turned to look at Xu Jiawei not far away. Xu Jiawei understood immediately and acted as Lu Liang's mouthpiece: "Hello, aren't you going to take off yet?"

"Excuse me, sir, please wait a moment, that passenger will be here shortly." The flight attendant, her face full of apology, quickly tried to calm the passengers down.

Lu Liang sighed, closed his eyes to rest, and waited for about ten minutes when he suddenly heard hurried footsteps beside him.

A petite beauty, wearing a hat, mask, and glasses, dressed similarly to Lu Liang.

After searching for a while, she sat down directly next to Lu Liang, keeping her head down the whole time and not daring to look directly at anyone.

With her arrival, the cabin door closed, and the plane entered the runway, preparing for takeoff.

Lu Liang habitually picked up his phone, wanting to read some news to pass the time, but suddenly remembered that this wasn't his plane and there was no signal.

With a helpless sigh, he gazed listlessly at the pitch-black scenery outside the window when suddenly a clear female voice rang out beside him: "Are you Richie Jen, Teacher Ren?"

Lu Liang was taken aback, turned to look at the beautiful woman beside him, and chuckled, "Are you talking to me?"

As soon as he opened his mouth, the beautiful woman quickly apologized: "I'm sorry, sir, I mistook you for someone else."

Richie Jen's Taiwanese accent is very obvious, and although Lu Liang also has a slight southern accent, it is clearly not his.

"You're in our circle too?"

Lu Liang asked with a smile. The person asking this question was most likely someone in the entertainment industry, and he himself had been nominated for Best Newcomer at the Hundred Flowers Awards, so he could be considered someone in the entertainment industry too.

A two-and-a-half-hour flight, and unable to sleep, chatting with someone who might be a female celebrity and discussing life is a good option.

The beautiful woman thought she had run into a senior in the industry and looked embarrassed: "The Tian Weiwei who was just called on the radio is me. I got stuck in traffic and arrived a little late. I'm sorry to have taken up your time."

"Tian Weiwei, that can't be your stage name, right?"

Lu Liang was very experienced and acted like a veteran in the entertainment industry, successfully getting the beauty's stage name out of her.

Her name is Tian Xi, but he didn't recognize the name either. Lu Liang asked directly, "Just debuted, or not yet?"

Tian Xi smiled wryly: "I guess you could say I've only half-debuted, because I filmed a web series in the first half of the year, and I don't know if it will be released smoothly."

"What is your name?"

"Waiting for you through the long years."

Lu Liang smacked his lips, still having never heard of it: "Which company produced this drama?"

"Jiahui Culture Media." Tian Xi said with a proud look, as if her own agency was incredibly powerful.

However, Lu Liang still looked completely bewildered.

Tian Xi couldn't help but say, "Senior, our company has invested in blockbuster films like 'In the Name of the People' and 'Wolf Warrior 2.' Haven't you heard of them?"

"Our company has also invested in these two projects, as well as Hello Mr. Billionaire and the currently showing Dying to Survive."

Lu Liang chuckled, not showing too much surprise. After all, even if a film project is not short of money, it will still have more than a dozen film and television companies of all sizes investing in it, and he couldn't possibly remember all their names.

"Senior, since your company is so amazing, what's it called?" Tian Xi squinted, her earlier enthusiasm gone.

Her thoughts shifted from befriending industry veterans to figuring out how to expose Lu Liang's lies. She suspected he was exaggerating, otherwise how could he have never even heard of their Jia Hui Culture?
