After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 771 Hongmeng Intelligent Journey
"Is that really what you think?"

Wei Mingliang was surprised, only because there were no outsiders present, otherwise he would never have asked such a foolish question.

Lu Liang smiled calmly: "Tianxing OS had three cooperation models back then. I wonder if President Wei still remembers them?"

He continued, "The parts supplier model, the TOS deep cooperation model, and the smart car selection model."

"Tianxing never forces any company to make any choices; all it does is to make the market better."

The first model involves a cash-on-delivery transaction; at worst, if the intelligent driving system malfunctions, they will be responsible for after-sales service and repairs.

The second model requires equity investment. Although the vehicle brand still belongs to the car company, Tianxing enjoys certain decision-making power.

The third model involves participating in the entire process of product definition, design, and channel sales. On the surface, the vehicle brand belongs to the car company, but in reality, it has been firmly controlled by Tianxing.

To date, all the car companies that have partnered with Tianxing have chosen the first model. Lu Liang has not forced them to choose the second or third model.

Because dominating the in-vehicle infotainment market is enough.

Driver assistance systems and control systems are two completely different systems.

If the software malfunctions, at most the screen will go black and it won't affect normal driving, but if the hardware malfunctions, it can be fatal.

Based on the integrated die-casting technology used by Tianxing, how many domestic car companies can do it?
If you don't have diamonds, don't do porcelain work.

Lu Liang was well aware of the situation, so he wouldn't allow Tianxing Motors to expand blindly, thereby tarnishing the brand's image.

Although this is an act of protecting one's reputation, it can also be disguised as all actions being for the prosperity and development of the market, a glamorous facade.

"I may not be able to reach Mr. Lu's level, but I aspire to it."

Wei Mingliang was overwhelmed with emotions. When talking to Lu Liang, he often forgot about Lu Liang's real age.

Lu Liang smiled calmly and teased, "President Yu is imparting knowledge and resolving doubts, President Wei, won't you go and join in the fun?"

Wei Mingliang shook his head: "Deep Blue has no plans to release a new car recently; we still need to focus on processing the production capacity of the S07."

"Since we're just killing time anyway, let's go see what Mr. Yu is talking about."

Lu Liang smiled and suddenly strode forward towards Yu Dazui's group. Wei Mingliang followed closely behind: "Don't you need to worry about the financing matters?"

“There’s no need.” Lu Liang shook his head. He had already arranged for $32 billion to be sent out, and it was to domestic capital institutions.

International consortia such as Temasek, SoftBank, and Vanguard have not yet made a move, and $40 billion is probably not enough for them to share.

He still has that much confidence.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first HarmonyOS Intelligent Mobility Public Discussion Conference will be held in Shenzhen on the 28th of this month..."

Yu Dazui stood in the crowd, talking boastfully, enjoying the feeling of being in the center of the stage, when suddenly a voice came from behind him: "Can we participate?"

"certainly……"

Yu Dazui was only halfway through speaking when he suddenly realized the voice was familiar.

He subconsciously turned around and saw Lu Liang smiling down at him, looking down at him with overwhelming height.

Shen Hun, He Xiaopeng, and Zhu Jianming, who were standing nearby, all took a half step back without changing their expressions, a hint of embarrassment showing on their faces.

Although most of them were just joining in the fun, they simply wanted to know what Huawei would do next.

But today is, after all, Tianxing Auto's financing meeting, and Lu Liang is also helping them connect with international institutions.

As a result, they turned around and surrounded Yu Dazui, and were even seen by the person in question, so they were a little embarrassed.

"Mr. Lu, how's the Series E funding going?" Yu Dazui coughed a few times, intentionally changing the subject and distancing himself.

He dislikes tall people because they not only make him look short, but also force him to look up at them, which weakens his innate presence.

"Thanks to President Yu, the financing went quite smoothly, and it should be finished in a few more minutes." Lu Liang smiled faintly.

He does not mean that.

Li Bing clicked his tongue, his lips twitching. He was smug about NIO getting $2 million in funding.

Assuming Lu Liang wasn't exaggerating, would the $72 billion financing amount be available in at most half an hour?

"Congratulations, Mr. Lu."

Yu Dazui offered his congratulations with clasped hands, but secretly felt alarmed, after all, 72 billion US dollars was no small sum.

Although Tianxing Financial recently launched a $3000 billion ABS (Asset-Backed Securities), ABS is essentially a loan; not only must the principal be repaid, but interest must also be paid. In contrast, Tianxing Auto's $72 billion is genuine investment capital. Investment carries risk and is a completely different concept from savings.

Lu Liang waved his hand and asked curiously, "President Yu, could you explain this to me? What is HarmonyOS?"

Yu Dazui pondered for a moment, then stopped trying to hide it.

He stated frankly, "Huawei's newly established technology ecosystem alliance will promote the development of intelligent automotive technology, create outstanding intelligent car products for users, provide an ultimate intelligent travel experience, and bring the digital world into every car..."

Lu Liang looked enlightened and asked with a smile, "Then can Tianxing Motors join us?"

"Um... If Mr. Lu is willing, of course he is."

Yu Dazui was taken aback, suddenly unable to figure out what Lu Liang was up to.

After all, what he just said was only the surface meaning of HarmonyOS; the deeper meaning was to allow the new energy market to flourish.

To put it simply, it's to prevent Tianxing OS from becoming a monopoly and an indispensable part of the ecosystem like Android.

Now Lu Liang says that Tianxing Automotive also wants to join HarmonyOS, which feels like Tencent wanting to join NATO, showing no sense of self-awareness whatsoever.

Lu Liang smiled and was about to speak again when Xu Jiawei suddenly walked up to him and whispered a few words.

Lu Liang bowed slightly and said to Yu Dazui, "President Yu, let's talk again next time. There's something I need to take care of."

"Okay, Mr. Lu, please go ahead with your business."

Lu Liang came like a gust of wind and left in a hurry, leaving Yu Dazui with a blank look on his face.

However, with Lu Liang's departure, the once harmonious group was no longer as relaxed as before.

The representatives from Voyah and WM Motor exchanged a glance, said goodbye, and said they would talk again next time, before leaving one after the other.

Li Bing, Li Xiang, and He Xiaopeng, not wanting to get involved, all left to talk to the heads of international organizations.

What is Lu Liang's intention?

Yu Dazui frowned, and Zhu Jianming sighed softly, "There should be no ulterior motive. It's just that he knows about the existence of Hongmeng Zhixing, so everyone is wary."

He looked to his left front, at the location where Wen Chao was.

It's almost common knowledge that Tianxing Financial holds over $200 billion.

Although Tianxing Financial is controlled by Wen Chao, it is obvious that Lu Liang has absolute say behind him.

If we ruin our relationship with Lu Liang because of Hongmeng Zhixing, which is still in its infancy, it would clearly be a loss.

“I know he has a lot of influence, but is it enough to make people wary?”

Yu Dazui frowned, finding the explanation too far-fetched. Zhu Jianming countered, "Then why?"

Yu Dazui remained silent.
I can't think of a more reasonable explanation.

At the same time, Lu Liang went to the reception room next door.

Two people were sitting, and six were standing. There were white people with high noses and short Japanese people.

"Lu, it's been a long time." Upon seeing Lu Liang enter, the two who were talking stood up.

"Mr. Damon, Mr. Masamura, how have you been?"

Lu Liang smiled and shook hands with them.

Damon Marshall, an investment manager at Vanguard Group, and he had met a few times in New York.

Hiroki Masamura is Masayoshi Son's secretary at SoftBank Group. Lu Liang had met Son a few times before.

"Pioneer plans to invest $10 billion."

SoftBank Group plans to invest $8 million.

The two got straight to the point, stating their purpose directly.

They all have the intention to invest in Tianxing Auto and are willing to accept a valuation of $480 billion, but they still have some questions that Lu Liang needs to answer personally.

"Gentlemen, please speak freely," Lu Liang said with a smile.

The two exchanged a glance, and Damon asked, "We want to know, when will Tianxing Motors be launched? Or perhaps we should ask, will Tianxing Motors ever be launched?"
