After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 691 God Creation Plan
How much do you think the initial investment should be?

"I hope it reaches ten thousand."

"You underestimate your own influence?"

"It's not about underestimating them, but about having a clear understanding of them."

Backstage at the venue, accompanied by Taylor Swift's singing, Lu Liang and Flannery discussed the first hour's premiere booking.

The United States is sparsely populated and has no story to tell about building charging stations, making it difficult to recoup costs; they have to rely on themselves.

However, if an industry relies on only one company to drive its development, it will be difficult for it to grow.

For trees to grow strong, they need fertile soil, and this condition limited the initial location of Universal Star.

In the first hour, 10,000 pre-orders were already a very good performance, and in 24 hours, it should reach 15,000.

Flannery smiled noncommittally and then asked, "Shouldn't we invest in building a factory in Europe next?"

The global market is currently divided into three major regions: East Asia, North America, and Europe. General Star occupies the North American and European markets, while the East Asian market is left for Star to develop on its own.

If General Star were to go public independently in the future, the financial market would only count the market value in North America and Europe, while the East Asian market would at most be considered as an enabling project.

"Then let's add another billion dollars."

Lu Liang pondered for a moment, then said, "As long as we can achieve success in North America, we should immediately announce that we will build a factory in Europe. That will be the best time for capital to enter the market."

This process will likely last two to three months.

If possible, try to postpone the announcement until after JPMorgan releases its Q3 report at the end of September.

This way, they can create a time lag, lure more small and medium-sized institutions into shorting JPMorgan Chase, and then wipe them out in one fell swoop.

"What do you think?"

Franali squinted. A project that could be completed in a month was being dragged out for two or three months by Lu Liang, which was out of character for him. He was clearly up to no good.

"It has nothing to do with General Motors."

Lu Liang laughed, then said irritably, "Instead of thinking about these things, you should be thinking about how to expand the market share of electric vehicles in North America. Who knows, one day, GM Tianxing's market value might surpass that of GM Group."

“The success of Dongda’s new energy strategy is not replicable. Electric vehicles are difficult to develop in the North American market.” Flannery sighed, but did not question the promises Lu Liang made to him.

If Lu Liang hadn't maliciously shorted Tesla, given the market sentiment at the time, Tesla's market capitalization could have potentially reached $300 billion.

Despite this, after several months of repairs, Tesla has successfully recovered from the pain of the Lu Liang liquidation and its market value has returned to over $100 billion.

In contrast, General Motors, despite being a long-established automaker, has seen its market value hover between $1500 billion and $2000 billion for the past five years.

With Tesla as a prime example, it's not entirely impossible for GM's future market capitalization to surpass that of General Motors.

"The North American market is difficult to develop, but that doesn't mean the European market is also difficult to develop."

North America is sparsely populated and not suitable for the development of electric vehicles, but in Europe, except for Norway, Sweden and Finland, the rest are all crowded together.

If people in North America think that environmental protection is a cool and trendy thing, then people in Europe can be said to be completely obsessed.

Those extreme environmentalists are practically a form of terrorist organization, and they have made quite a few jokes on the international stage over the years.

If this group of people can be utilized, it's not impossible to turn the European continent into a second home for new energy sources.

"What do you want to do?" Flannery asked with a smile, genuinely thinking that Lu Liang's idea was brilliant.

Every master of making money is a master of manipulating people's hearts; if there is no market, then create one.

"This girl seems to be quite popular lately."

Lu Liang smiled and looked at the magazine on the table. This issue was a profile of a Swedish environmental activist named Greta.

Someone once said: Young people, the world belongs to you, and to us, but ultimately it belongs to you.

The girl, born in 03, is fifteen years old this year, a vibrant and blossoming age.

If you want to change a country or a nation, the best way is to start with its youth.

Flannery narrowed his eyes and instantly guessed Lu Liang's intention: "To create a god, under the guise of environmental protection, to suppress the market share of European gasoline-powered vehicles."

"First, let her be Time's Person of the Year next year, then get more celebrities to meet with her and support her environmental cause."

Lu Liang smiled, picked up the wine glass on the table, raised it, and said, "For environmental protection, and to prevent the Arctic glaciers from melting."

Flannery smiled and picked up a glass of wine: "For the sake of the environment, and to prevent the Amazon rainforest from shrinking any further."

"cheers."

"cheers."

After the song ended, Taylor excitedly returned backstage, intending to confront Lu Liang.

She barely managed to finish that song, and her inner thighs still feel sticky.

"Mr. Lu, where is he?" Taylor searched the backstage area but couldn't find Lu Liang anywhere. "He went back." Flannery replied absentmindedly, still weighing the pros and cons of Lu Liang's god-making plan.

The relationship between North America and Europe is both simple and complex, best described as a father-son relationship.

If it can truly impact Europe, it will inevitably affect North America as well, and General Motors' vehicle manufacturing business will also be hit.

However, the hardest hit are probably German car brands, such as BMW, Mercedes-Benz, Audi, and Porsche, whose headquarters and factories are all in Germany.

Already fined by the EU every now and then for environmental reasons, Lu Liang is now adding fuel to the fire, making their future prospects look increasingly difficult.

"Back to the hotel? Which hotel is he staying at?" Taylor asked angrily, her anger practically written all over her face.

"It shouldn't be going back to the hotel." Flannery squinted, having already made up his mind.

It's a good thing to crack down on German cars. If Europe wants to influence North America, it will take at least three to seven years.

General Star, after all, comes first and Star comes second, so this plan is definitely more beneficial than harmful to them.

“Where did he go?” Taylor asked.

"how could I know."

Flannery shrugged, casually placing his hand on Taylor's shoulder, his fingertips lightly tracing her collarbone: "Swift, you don't actually think Lu Liang would be interested in you, do you?"

Lu Liang is as cunning as a ghost. He'll play along with whatever comes his way, even if it's being broadcast live globally. But if you really put him to the task, he'll run faster than a rabbit.

And that was indeed the case. Just now, when Lu Liang was about to leave, Franneri mentioned it briefly, but Lu Liang only replied that taking the bus didn't necessarily mean driving it.

Taylor remained silent. Flannery's fingertips slid from her collarbone to her cheek, lifted her chin, and whispered in her ear, "I'll be waiting for you at 9 p.m. tonight at the Slant Hotel, room 1811."

She changed boyfriends 13 times in two years, which was actually a silent form of rebellion, but so what?
To paraphrase Lu Liang, even if you drive a bus, you don't necessarily have to drive it home.

An hour later, at Detroit Airport.

Before boarding the plane, Lu Liang received good news from Flannery: a deposit of US$2204.6 million had been received, and the first hour saw 11023 orders, which was almost in line with expectations.

"With the first card worth over 10,000, it's time to play the third card."

He walked toward the boarding gate, talking as he went.

The initial order for the US version of Tian Shu is 11023 units, which also means that Delimei has added at least 10,000 new loan orders.

The total interest rate for two years is 5.8%, which is 2.9% annualized, resulting in a total annual interest of $1094, which is 1.25% lower than that of US Treasury bonds.

Harris is really willing to use the funds from Delime to subsidize consumers of the American version of Tian Shu.

The cause we are doing now will not bear fruit for another two months, and we do not know whether it will be a good or bad result.

As the plane took off, news of the US version of Tian Shu's first order exceeding 10,000 spread rapidly like wildfire across the prairie.

Tianxing Auto's overseas expansion has been a resounding success!

Chinese car brand makes its debut in North America!

Tianxing Auto: A Leading Domestic Car Brand!

Four major state media outlets and eight major party media outlets
Many people forwarded the news and offered their congratulations.

Although the domestic market is large enough that even if the rest of the world stops interacting with them, they can still be self-sufficient.

Even the leaders who initially formulated the new energy strategy were prepared for this worst-case scenario.

But Tianxing Auto's overseas expansion, even if it involves a joint venture with GM to build factories overseas, is like a star piercing the night.

The achievements of Tianxing Motors overseas not only prove that the leaders' decisions were correct, but also show the world that local enterprises in Dongda have the strength to enter the high-end manufacturing industry, and that the country has the soil to create international brands.

This event is of extraordinary significance. Although it is a small step for Tianxing Auto, it is a giant leap for the national industrial upgrading and an important event for promoting the internationalization of new energy.

"Tianxing Motors has finally gotten ahead of us."

Upon hearing the news, the four members of the Weixiaoli Weltmeister New Energy Group remained silent.

The reposting by the four major official media outlets and eight major party media outlets is not only a congratulatory gesture or merely an indirect attempt to flatter the leaders, but also a statement of attitude.

Just like a teacher seeing the top student in the class.

If they were to mold him into a 'role model,' they would have completely lost their first-mover advantage.

Xiaomi Automotive Industrial Park, Yizhuang, Beijing.

Lei Jun, wearing a helmet, inspected the construction site. Upon hearing the news, he was slightly disappointed, but quickly cheered up: "There are still six months left, there should still be time."

Xiaomi was born as a follower; the larger the market, the more diverse the industry can flourish.

Tianxing Auto's overseas expansion has been successful, and it has also helped them create a new channel.

New energy brands and traditional brands are not necessarily competitors; they can also be partners.
