After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future

"Money truly does breed money."

Since he shorted the British Pounds, Lu Liang had taken a long rest, merely engaging in stock investments according to the 532 distribution pattern.

He had thought the profits would be less than 10%, but unexpectedly, a governmental decree was issued, and the new energy sector collectively surged.

The act of taking advantage of the system wasn't limited to ordinary people. Some enterprises did it more fiercely and even established systems for this purpose.

With three trillion in support funds, anyone, human or ghost, wanted to get a piece of the action. The financial markets led the charge, with the entire sector soaring by 6.55% that day.

Of the new energy constituent stocks Lu Liang had bought, nine out of ten hit the daily limit, and even those that didn't were close.

The 5.8 billion invested in the A-shares earned him over 4 billion just for today, and as expected, Tesla would probably rise even more fiercely tonight.

Lu Liang suddenly understood why NIO's originally scheduled autumn release of the ep9 was abruptly moved forward by nearly half a year.

It seemed that Li Bing was aware that if Tesla continued to lead uncontested, it may well become the Apple of the automotive world.

He didn't want to see a future market with only two types of new energy vehicles: one Tesla and the other all the rest.

It seems Old Wang from Dizi also understood this point, announcing a mid-next-month new car launch event, named the Dynasty Series.

Once the news was released, the entire network was abuzz, because Dizi was different from other car manufacturers. With their strong industrial system, new cars could be mass-produced three months after being launched.

The name "Dynasty Series" was also quite intriguing, suggesting both dominance and that these would be a range of models.

One day later, He Xiaopeng publicly stated that the Xiao Peng G3 would meet everyone in the second half of this year, please look forward to it.

Although it was only the end of March, at least half a year away from the second half, with everyone making noise, if Xiao Peng remained silent, investors might think they were about to drop out first.

If you don't speak out, you can't get things done,

Even if you're lagging, you can't afford to lose momentum.

Li Xiang from Ideal also showed his ambition, announcing an imminent Series A funding round with a valuation of 620 million US Dollars.

Following closely was Old Jia from LeEco, raising the banner of subverting the traditional automotive industry and declaring that supercars were ready for mass production.

Boss Xu from Hengchi also loudly proclaimed the establishment of the Hengchi project, with an expected investment of ten billion in R&D over five years.

Suddenly, the automotive world was thrown into chaos.

Under the stimulus of three trillion in support funds, the entire new energy industry was like last year's sharing bicycles, hitting the fast-forward button.

Then, out of the blue, Old Zeng from Ningde Era called Lu Liang, his tone full of helplessness: "Mr. Lu, look at the fine mess you've created."

"What fine mess have I created?" Lu Liang looked bewildered.

He'd been behaving these past days, resting on Mondays, Wednesdays, and Fridays, accompanying Su Wanyu on Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Saturdays, and spending weekends with Li Manli.

He'd been practicing a balance of work and rest, not even making a move on Weibo, quietly sitting back and watching.

He had noticed something interesting: it seemed that LeTV was about to implode, as Boss Jia had been sued by the court.

"National Bank, Xiangyang, CIC, they're all urging us to go public as soon as possible."

Sighing deeply, Zeng Minqun said, Lu Liang's investment in the New Energy Research Institute of Huaqing University had completely ignited the new energy industry.

To his knowledge, the three trillion support plan was supposed to be rolled out in the following year or the year after, but it had been enacted right away.

Now the whole automotive circle was a mess, everyone wanted to join in the fray and take a swipe at the state's wool.

As one of the only two top-tier domestic power battery manufacturers, they were also being urged by investors to list early and take advantage of the current tailwind.

Zeng Minqun intended for Ningde to go public, but not now; they weren't prepared, so he used Lu Liang's opposition as an excuse.

Lu Liang looked intrigued, pondering for a long time: "Then just say it was my idea. Right now, Ningde isn't suited for going public; all hype and no performance will not make for lasting success on the stock market."

Zeng Minqun looked relieved: "Mr. Lu, you're sensible. Sorry for the offense earlier, please excuse me."

He felt the same; unlike Lu Liang, Ningde Era couldn't convert fame into actual revenue.

To go public, they at least needed to wait another year or so, until various new energy vehicles were launched and mass-produced.

That would be the ideal time for them to go public.

Lu Liang was distracted: "I didn't expect my unintentional actions to stir up such a storm."

"History rolls on irresistibly, beyond the control of any individual. One day, Mr. Lu's name will inevitably be recorded in the annals of new energy development."

"I just hope it's a good name, not a curse." Lu Liang smiled bitterly.

The flap of a butterfly's wings in the Amazon rainforest in Brazil might cause a hurricane thousands of miles away.

Now, his influence wasn't just that of a butterfly; perhaps from the moment he invested in the new energy research institute which caused the sector to explode by eighty billion or more.

The direction of the entire new energy market had been altered beyond recognition; news regarding new energy could only be used as a reference, not the definitive answer anymore.

After ending his call with Old Zeng, Lu Liang furrowed his brow and fell deep in thought: "Does Ningde still have a market cap of a trillion?"

He ultimately reached a conclusion: it absolutely did. Ningde had core technologies, and he wasn't involved in the management.

His interventions proved to be more effective the less frequently they occurred.

Lu Liang couldn't help but turn his attention to Douyin, where he had also interfered quite a bit.

Chen Jinchun had posted eight videos to date, each garnering at least 500,000 views.

That also indicated at least five hundred thousand daily active users.

"Old Yang, put up a fight, will you? If you keep this up, I might really sell you off, and then you'll end up working for Zhang Yiming again."

The time left for Douyin was running out; at most, it had just over a month left.

Because next Thursday, Watermelon Video would launch, and as Zhu Hu had explained, ten billion in video support funds had also been approved.

A month after launch, victory or defeat would be apparent.

If Douyin could compete with Watermelon, that would be ideal. If one waned as the other waxed, then in the next round of financing, Lu Liang would opt to cooperate with Zhang Yiming.

Because for the next round of financing, Lu Liang would also seek Redwood and Golden Sand River to continue investing and increase their stakes.

This way, the two firms would hold at least 25% altogether, plus Lu Liang's own shares, which would already exceed a majority.

Whether or not to merge wouldn't be up to Yang Zhenyuan anymore.

Approaching noon, Wen Chao brought over the confirmation letter.

As of the 25th this month, the net value was updated to 2.435, a growth of 0.211 from last month, slowing slightly.

The main reason was that this month didn't present many speculative opportunities; profits were purely from the natural growth of stocks.

Once the news spread,

The investors didn't express any dissatisfaction.

They knew that opportunities like shorting the British Pounds didn't come every month, or else they wouldn't be called black swans.

They should be content, as even the world's most famous fund, Vanguard, only had a total return of 32.4% last year.

In contrast, Tianxing Phase One had a monthly profit rate of 21.1%, leaving them with no grounds for complaints.
