After divorce, I can hear the voice of the future

Chapter 802 Unite all forces that can be united
It was a little after seven in the evening, not quite eight.

Panda's IG team won the match 3-0, ending the game decisively and securing the region's first championship.

"That's it?"

"Is it over at 3-0?"

"No pressure at all. I'm curious, how did you manage to go seven years without a single championship?"

Xiao Wang was filled with excitement, his fists clenched. Before he could even roar, he heard Lu Liang's three consecutive questions.

He wanted to dismiss it with disdain, and he also wanted to refute Lu Liang as just a utilitarian businessman who knew nothing about LOL. The key was that these questions did indeed stump him.

It wasn't a victory against an LCK team that had a long-standing rivalry with their region, nor was it a close 3-2 score; it was a hard-fought win in the end.

I have a feeling that this first championship wasn't quite perfect.

Just as the road to success is bound to be winding and tortuous, a rainbow wouldn't be so beautiful without trials and tribulations.

"But the outcome was good."

Lu Liang smiled, his eyes crinkling, and then changed the subject, because just now, he had received data from Sun Yutao.

With three match points in the BO5 series, every time IG won one, the search volume for Panda stock increased exponentially.

Especially just now, at the moment the base crystal exploded, the stock's popularity soared to the top of the hot stock lists of brokerages such as Tiger Brokers, Chatianmei, and Xueqiu, and it strongly topped all three lists.

In another hour and a half, the US stock market will open for business. Given the current market enthusiasm, Panda's stock price is bound to give Lu Liang a series of big surprises.

"This is the honor of the competition area. Can you stop being so snobbish?" Xiao Wang said, looking displeased and sticking out his neck.

"Then enjoy this honor. We still have the second half to go." Lu Liang chuckled, turned to look at Li Zairong and the others, and prepared to leave.

"How do you say Tianxing Auto's naming rights?" Xiao Wang quickly called out to Lu Liang.

IG's victory has generated unprecedented buzz, and even before the semifinals ended, car manufacturers had already contacted them.

He wanted to acquire the naming rights for the IG esports team, but he thought it would be better to keep the profits within the family and benefit Tianxing Motors in Luliang, so he kept putting it off.

Lu Liang thought for a moment and said, "I'll talk to Wang Xiaofeng about it. In addition to sponsoring IG, we'll also have Tianxing Auto sponsor the entire competition area for promotion."

He couldn't understand why a billionaire, the son of a former richest man, would be so excited about his gaming team winning a championship.

But he looks at the data; at the global finals held in Incheon, a total of 9960 million unique viewers watched the game.

The peak number of online viewers on major live streaming platforms reached 4400 million, with an average of 1960 million viewers per minute.

This is an achievement that Mercedes-Benz, the title sponsor of the race zone, has not been able to achieve in three years. Tianxing Auto was able to snatch it away, so why would they be polite?

Lu Liang glanced at the young men clinking glasses, then at Feng Xi on the side of the stage, who was preparing to go on stage for an interview.

He smiled slightly at the latter, indicating that he would contact him later, and then quietly left with Lee Jae-yong and the others amidst a chorus of cheers.

Walking out of the venue,

Lee Jae-yong and the others all breathed a sigh of relief.

Lu Liang smiled, unable to suppress his amusement. It was hard for these middle-aged men to be so patient and sit with him for more than three hours.

Just then, Lee Jae-yong looked distressed and sighed, "Mr. Lu, you've really put us through a lot."

Two hours earlier, during the first match, he understood Lu Liang's intention in inviting them to watch the game.

But everything has come.

The seeds of doubt have already been sown, and it's too late for him to realize it now; there's no point in him storming off in anger.

On the contrary, it would offend Lu Liang, leaving him in a situation where he would please neither side and could only patiently watch the whole thing.

"President Li, what do you mean by that?"

Lu Liang's smile remained unchanged, clearly indicating that he was pretending to be ignorant.

"nothing."

Lee Jae-yong knew that Lu Liang was pretending to be stupid, but he didn't expose him. Being tricked could only mean that one wasn't vigilant enough, but not realizing it was just plain stupid.

As long as Lu Liang knows that he has understood Lu Liang's intentions, that's enough. As for the consequences, he will bear them himself.

Lee Jae-yong changed the subject, saying, "Chairman Kim of Kakao is willing to cooperate with Chairman Jung. Mr. Lu, what are your thoughts?"

Lu Liang smiled and looked at Zheng Xuanyi, asking, "President Zheng, what are your thoughts?"

Although he has the authority to make decisions, the holders of XOO (Biquan) are, after all, Hyundai Group, and after all, Chung Soon-eui.

“Mr. Lu’s idea is my idea, and it is also the idea of ​​Modern Group.” Zheng Xuanyi said without hesitation, not letting go of any opportunity to get closer to Lu Liang.

"Then let's cooperate. Only through cooperation can we achieve a win-win situation. After all, I have always loved peace and do not like to fight with others."

Lu Liang smiled, then suddenly sighed, "It's a pity that Mitsui Sumitomo doesn't understand this principle and even sent a princeling to talk to me." Lee Jaeyong's heart skipped a beat, sensing the warning in Lu Liang's words. He glanced at Kim Bum-joo out of the corner of his eye, signaling him to quickly express his opinion.

Kim Bum-joo understood immediately and said with a smile, "Our cooperation is a good thing for both of us, so no matter who or what force is involved, they cannot change this outcome."

Seeing the smile on Lu Liang's face, Kim Bum-joo and Lee Jae-yong breathed a sigh of relief, thinking that the cooperation was settled and there would be no further trouble.

However, Lu Liang suddenly asked, "President Jin, who exactly is it? And what kind of force is it that can change your mind and hinder our cooperation?"

Kim Bum-joo was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Lee Jae-yong.

Lee Jae-yong frowned, not understanding the purpose of Lu Liang's question, because it was a typical rhetorical question.

Although Samsung Group is a conglomerate in Goryeo, Samsung does not belong to the Lee family, nor does it even belong to Goryeo.

Conversely, the Lee family and all Korean financial institutions hold only 19% of Samsung's shares.

The remaining 81% of the shares are all in the hands of foreign investors, and most of them are still held by American companies.

This was the price Samsung paid for acquiring Japan's semiconductor industry back then.

In Chinese terms, it's treason; Samsung is the biggest group of traitors to South Korea.

Lu Liang was clearly bringing up a sore spot.

Lee Jae-yong's face suddenly darkened, as if he was trying his best to suppress his anger: "Mr. Lu, if you keep talking like this, then there's no point in us continuing this conversation."

He was like an honest man facing provocation, giving in again and again, only to come back and take advantage time and time again.

Therefore, when one can no longer tolerate it, there is no need to tolerate it any longer.

Lu Liang's smile remained unchanged, ignoring Li Zairong's almost murderous gaze, and he said to himself, "I remember it should be BlackRock, Vanguard, State Street Fund, and I think JPMorgan Chase also has a stake, right?"

He looked up, suddenly staring directly into Lee Jae-yong's eyes, his gaze full of sincerity, and asked earnestly, "Chairman Lee, are you really willing to accept this?"

If he were to be someone's lackey all the time, that would be one thing, but the key issue is that in Goryeo, Lee Jae-yong is the emperor who has the final say, and even the president avoids his wrath.

However, upon arriving in America, he became a subservient person.

Lu Liang didn't believe that Li Zairong could bear such a huge psychological gap, and was willing to silently accept it forever.

Lee Jae-yong remained silent, his anger largely dissipated.

He glanced around at the surroundings. They were still at the entrance of the stadium, with people coming and going; it wasn't a place to talk.

Kim Bum-joo, who had previously served as Lee Jae-yong's secretary, understood immediately and quickly said, "Mr. Lu, it's too noisy here. Why don't we find a quieter place?"

"President Kim, please make the arrangements." Lu Liang nodded slightly, and together with Zheng Xuanyi, followed Kim Bum-joo and Lee Jae-young to a manor on the outskirts of Incheon.

Half an hour later, the four reunited in a tea room.

Lee Jae-yong waved his hand to shoo away the waiters in the room, then suddenly looked apologetic and said, "Mr. Lu, I was a little out of line just now, please forgive me."

"I also misspoke, and I hope Chairman Li won't take it to heart." Lu Liang apologized earnestly.

"Haha, there's an old Chinese saying that goes, 'A smile can dispel all enmity.' Let's drink this cup and still be good friends."

Zheng Xuanyi laughed and filled everyone's glasses, suddenly no longer showing hostility towards Li Zaiyong.

On the way here, he kept thinking about the meaning behind Lu Liang's words, and suddenly a sentence popped into his mind.

'Unite all forces that can be united.'

From its inception, Tianxing Financial was destined to have a major battle with Wall Street capital.

Lu Liang's current strength is clearly insufficient.

Although he has a long winning streak and has never been defeated, he used to be a speculative investor.

Speculative capital can make a quick profit and run, and even if Wall Street capital wants to target them, they can't find a specific target.

In contrast, Tianxing Financial, Tianxing Auto, Delimei, and related companies like Panda and NIO, as well as properties they have acquired in Japan, are all examples of this.

Wall Street capital has identified a precise target for Lu Liang. If Lu Liang fails, all of his businesses will face liquidation.

He cannot afford to lose, so he must unite all forces that can be united to launch an attack on Wall Street capital.

Samsung Group has been controlled by American capital for many years, and Lee Jae-yong must have had this desire, otherwise they wouldn't have reunited now.

Zheng Xuanyi was willing to take the initiative to make amends because he had already been labeled as Lu Liang and had become a target.

Furthermore, if Lu Liang succeeds, Hyundai Group will no longer need to compete with Samsung Group for limited resources in Korea.

After that, they could go wherever Wall Street capital could go, and they could go where Wall Street capital couldn't go.

The whole world is their hunting ground.
