After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future
Chapter 394 - 391: Mine, Talent Recruitment

A meal took over an hour.

During that time, Ota Ling kept dawdling, seemingly waiting for Li Xuanhong to leave first so he could have a private chat with Lu Liang.

But Li Xuanhong seemed to notice and didn't want to comply with Ota Ling's wishes, making intermittent conversation.

They had time for idle talk, but Lu Liang didn't as he turned to Li Xuanhong, "Mr. Li, why don't you head back to the hotel to rest, and I can continue talking with Mr. Ota."

Li Xuanhong frowned but didn't want to refuse directly, "I'll be in Minato for the next few days, Mr. Lu, just let me know if you need anything."

"This is Tokyo!" Ota Ling couldn't hold back any longer. When did the Koreans start extending their reach into Tokyo?

It must have been this disgusting man, deliberately arranged by Lu Liang to counterbalance Mitsui Sumitomo.

Otherwise, he would have shaken him off long ago, and tonight he would bag Li Xuanhong, fill the sack with concrete, and sink him into Tokyo Bay.

Li Xuanhong sneered and continued to ignore him. Seeing Lu Liang stand up, he quickly said, "Mr. Lu, no need to see me out."

After Li Xuanhong left, Ota Ling couldn't help but complain bitterly, like a child aged three and five hundred months.

Lu Liang had introduced a third party and he had no objections, as long-term cooperation required third-party oversight, and that was correct.

He also had no objections to Hyundai Group, but could they replace Li Xuanhong, who was sarcastic and infuriating at the sight?

"Mr. Ota, I'm really sorry, but I don't have control over whom Hyundai assigns."

Lu Liang consoled him earnestly, indicating he would speak with Zheng Xuanyi and see if the person in charge could be changed.

"That would be best," Ota Ling sighed.

He didn't really want to replace the person, knowing that if someone else were to come, they would likely behave in the same manner, as all of Hyundai Group's people were sent with orders.

He mainly wanted Lu Liang to know that in this collaboration, they were the ones who had suffered unnecessary grievances.

The saying goes, 'A crying child gets milk.' Cooperation worked the same way; they shouldn't have suffered like this.

But because of Lu Liang, he had suffered and endured, hoping that Lu Liang would remember this and treat him well in the future.

Lu Liang understood the hint and asked, "Mr. Ota, is there anything else?"

Bitcoin differed from other markets, with no holidays or rest days, allowing trading 365 days a year, 24 hours a day.

The funds had arrived quickly, and he needed to enter the market early to avoid missing out on sudden movements before he could establish a position.

After this wave, there would be a 15-fold return, with a chance to engage in Bitcoin as a Market Maker.

"Mr. Lu, I wonder if you are free tonight, I would like to invite you to dine at my home."

Ota Ling's eyes were full of hope; he had invited Lu Liang no less than three times already, and surely he wouldn't refuse this time?

A home dinner, for Neon People, represented the highest standard of hospitality; he needed to maintain a close relationship with Lu Liang, hoping to secure his reappointment next year.

After considering, Lu Liang smiled and asked, "What time?"

"5:30 PM, shall I send someone to escort you?" Ota Ling quickly responded.

"That's fine, see you tonight."

After seeing Ota Ling off, Lu Liang let out a long sigh.

"Though a triangle is the most stable relationship, it really tests the balance of the sharp angles; from now on, this is your task."

He looked toward Wen Chao, "Don't feel too pressured; both of them know what they are doing. As long as we don't lean too heavily one way, they won't fight too fiercely."

Wen Chao realized, nodded, and fell into deep thought; after all, he was not Lu Liang and had much to consider.

"Let's go, let's go upstairs."

Lu Liang waited in the company until three-thirty, and at last, the one billion dollars had all arrived, deposited into an account at Mitsui Sumitomo.

"Start buying now."

Lu Liang and Wen Chao observed for a long time; only through hands-on experience did they know the market was as fragile as paper.

Despite having a total volume of nearly thirty billion U.S. dollars, the seven-day average trading value was only 179 million U.S. dollars, often involving transactions as small as 0.01 Bitcoin.

In any stock market, companies with a market value exceeding fifty billion U.S. dollars would not have such low daily trading volume.

With their one billion dollars, they aimed to successfully establish a position without attracting the attention of Market Makers.

At least a month was needed.

Lu Liang chuckled, "Then let's implement a 24-hour three-shift system, buy more when the market is active, and buy less when it's sluggish."

Wen Chao couldn't help but laugh and cry, "That's the only way."

They say financial migrant workers, now they really became migrant workers, there was no one else to blame.

Suddenly, Lu Liang said, "We're not limited to market trading, we can contact some miners and buy from them."

Bitcoin mining was a gradually releasing process, with rewards halved every four years on average.

The total amount was set to be 21 million, which would not be fully mined until the year 2140.

Since its launch in 2009, 18 million had been mined, leaving 3 million yet to be released.

By directly contacting Bitcoin miners, they could quickly obtain chips without affecting the market.

"Where should we contact the miners?"

Wen Chao murmured to himself in a low voice while Lu Liang smiled, and both men simultaneously looked toward the Eastern Country.

Mining required three rigid conditions: first, the mining machine, which determined efficiency; second, low-cost electricity, which determined costs.

Third, a stable, high-speed internet to ensure that sudden disconnections wouldn't result in lost work.

Globally, only East Country perfectly met all three conditions.

Inner Mongolia Erdos was the global center of Bitcoin mining because the area had abundant coal, solar, and wind energy, leading the nation in electricity generation for many years.

The average industrial electricity price in the province was only 0.25 yuan per kilowatt-hour, not only the lowest in the nation but also the lowest average electrical cost worldwide.

The area was sparsely populated with a severe surplus of electricity, making it a natural electronic minefield, among which Erdos was the most famous.

After a moment of reflection, Wen Chao hurriedly said, "Then I'll book a flight now and go there personally tomorrow."

Last month, they had experienced a massive 45% drop, and with the market now sluggish, it was a good time to buy Bitcoins.

Lu Liang nodded slightly, instructing, "Don't expose yourself; if it's a large amount, a 5-10% premium is acceptable."

Having followed him for over a year, Wen Chao could easily be recognized; Lu Liang did not want to leave too many personal traces on this project, even if it meant deceiving oneself.

"Understood," Wen Chao nodded.

Approaching five o'clock,

Xu Jiawei also returned from Han City.

Lu Liang asked with a smile, "How did it go?"

"Mr. Lu, Mr. Jin said he needs a few more days to consider."

Xu Jiawei was not as forceful as Lu Liang, so he gave him a week to thoroughly consider before making a decision.

Lu Liang wondered, "Was the money not sufficient?"

Xu Jiawei shook his head, "No, it's not that. He seems reluctant to work internationally, especially when Modu was mentioned, he was somewhat resistant."

With an annual salary of three hundred thousand US dollars, they offered six hundred thousand US dollars and made him a real head of the department.

Jin Guangzhi was excited, feeling vindicated, but the prospect of moving to Modu made him hesitate.

He had a pair of children in middle school, and in the coming years, they would sequentially be applying to universities, which he was very concerned about.

His children's school, akin to the earlier legacy schools founded in-country, were all built by the Hyundai Group.

If he were to switch jobs and moreover not be domestically present, his children might face bullying at school.

Those unaware, Park Chang-soo's son attended the same high school as his children, might harbor negative thoughts.

Lu Liang pondered, "Contact Wang Xiaofeng and ask him to secure a few induction quotas from Fudan Affiliated High School."

Over the years, the company had paid nearly one billion in taxes; it was time to enjoy some exceptional benefits.

This was standard talent induction, reasonably extending benefits to family members.

Lu Liang said smilingly, "Also tell Jin Guangzhi that rather than struggling endlessly in Korea, it's better to relocate his entire family to the vast potential of the Eastern Country. As long as he moves, we'll take care of his accommodation, car, and children's schooling."

"Being the first high-end technician recruited, he deserves some special treatment, and later, he'll likely take the initiative to influence others on our behalf."

Xu Jiawei nodded thoughtfully, and Lu Liang added, "Don't hurry to speak now, lest he thinks too highly of his own value. Mention these matters only when he formally responds."
