After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future
Chapter 471 - 466: A New Page for the Family Tree

Old fox~

Liangzi silently cursed to himself, he only knew through a cheat that the economic and trade cooperation was very likely going to fall through.

But Old Ma was different; his tone was very certain, almost outright stating that this cooperation was definitely doomed.

Lu Liang glanced at the responsible person from the Ministry of Commerce, originally wanting to remind them, but it seemed unnecessary now.

The think tank surely wasn't made up of incompetent people; they likely also adhered to the principle of not releasing the hawk until they saw the rabbit.

It was best if the two countries could cooperate, but if they couldn't, there was no need to accommodate and force the cooperation.

After lunch, there was a short two-hour break.

At half-past two in the afternoon, a two-hour meeting with journalists from Eastern and Western enterprises was held.

During the meeting, both sides signed a total of 34 cooperation projects, involving an amount of 258.5 billion dollars.

That was 5 billion dollars more than predicted, the extra fifty billion dollars was the amount Lu Liang promised to additionally invest in states like Michigan and California over the next five years.

Anyway, it was included in the economic and trade cooperation orders, so if Old Te unilaterally breached the agreement next year, the current promises would naturally become void.

Just like Old Ma said, the promises would probably be void anyway, so why not talk big? Gaining reputation for themselves and leaving the infamy to Old Te, why not do it?

That same night, the news broadcast continued to report, and the major media platforms also forwarded the news one after another. This was the first time Lu Liang appeared on a significant state visit, which also sparked heated discussions among countless netizens.

"Holy shit, Liangzi's made it!"

"One of the twelve Eastern representatives?"

"Why does he seem to have such a good relationship with Old Te?"

"Don't call him Liangzi outside; show some respect and call him Mr. Lu."

"Is he your dad? Just calling him Liangzi, what's it to you?"

Meanwhile, back in his hometown, Lu Liang's parents saw the news and were overjoyed, rushing to share it with everyone.

Although the current Lu Liang could be said to be well-known, his parents back home never really understood what their son did.

In their eyes, finance equaled capital, and capitalists should just pick a street lamp they liked and hang from it.

Although Lu Liang had been investing in the new energy industry, they didn't understand much about it and only knew they couldn't even see the tyres nowadays.

They had always been worried that one day Lu Liang would end up like the owner of the largest Gome Electrical store in town, directly going in to depend on the state.

But now it was different, Lu Liang had appeared on the news broadcast, and it was a very important state visit at that.

That same night, the wise elders of Luhe Village gathered, thinking that it was necessary to dedicate a new page in the family record.

"Tiechui, what do you think?" the 88-year-old elder asked, looking at Lu Tiechui, who was always puffing away.

Lu Liang had previously donated five million to the village, built a leisure center for the elderly, and provided new equipment for the school playground, making Lu Jiancheng one of the respected wise men of the village.

Old Lu chuckled and said, "Anything is fine, just let me know if you're short on money."

Two months ago, during the Mid-Autumn Festival, Lu Liang had brought Su Wanyu and his daughter home, leaving several million with Lu Ya at that time.

Personal money was subject to the situation and relationship; one could borrow if they wanted, but it required Lu Ya's approval.

For public matters, it depended on the budget; if it was a 1 million project, they would contribute over half a million.

If it was 10 million, they would contribute 5 million; if there wasn't enough money, they just needed to get Lu Ya to contact him.

After all, even Baidu Encyclopedia had documented that Lu Liang was born in Luhe Village.

With a conservative estimate of personal wealth over 20 billion, he was without a doubt the richest person in the city.

If there were projects or events in the village, it was only right that they should bear the name and contribute the bulk of the funds.

Spending money for everyone was better than spending for just the small home, after all, biting the hand that feeds one, in the end, was still the act of a few.

Meanwhile,

Lu Liang had just finished the state banquet and was leaving the State Guesthouse.

He didn't really enjoy Huaiyang cuisine, but he could understand; after all, the plating was delicate and there were no bones.

If it were like Cantonese cuisine, presenting a bloodied plate of cold chicken with bones, it wouldn't only look unappealing, but gnawing on bones was also indelicate.

"Mr. Lu, where are you rushing off to in such a hurry?" Old Ma quickened his pace, approaching with a beaming smile to inquire.

Lu Liang stopped and said, "I haven't been back to Modu in a long time; I have a flight at nine. Mr. Ma, would you like a ride?"

The signing of the over 200 billion dollars trade contract caused the A-share market to surge during the day, and the US stocks were probably going to explode later.

Even the Bitcoin market was stirring; he needed to rush back to Modu to delegate some tasks and then head to Tokyo to take charge firsthand.

Liu Qing had been absent from Su Shimin's side these days, which gave Lu Liang a sense of crisis, feeling that things were ominously quiet, as if mischief were afoot.

The foundation of the Liu family's three generations was indeed substantial; it was best to make a quick decision to avoid complications.

As soon as DiDi went public, Lu Liang could focus on making electric vehicles, and the next year was sure to be fraught with battles.

Once Xiaomi went public, Huawei was restless to join, not to mention the two major companies OV, joining hands with Weima Automobile.

Even Miss Dong quietly acquired Yinlong New Energy and set up Gree New Energy Technology Co., Ltd.

Nowadays, those in real estate and air conditioning were gearing up to enter car manufacturing; it wouldn't be surprising if a Lao Ganma luxury electric car brand emerged in the future.

Next year was definitely going to be a year of pandemonium, the more chaotic the market, the more value the emerging Market Maker held.

As the herald of the new energy market two years ago, Tianxing Technology was not going to be content falling behind.

"No need, I am planning to stay a few more days in Beijing."

Watching Lu Liang's departing figure, Old Ma's brows were tightly knotted; he really wanted a piece of Bitcoin.

Not for the money, but for the power.

But now, it was a bit late to enter the market; Bitcoin had reclaimed a lofty position at $5,000.

At this point, even investing one billion dollars could only buy 200,000 coins, less than 1% of the total market supply.

One billion dollars for 200,000 coins was just theoretical; as aggressive buying would inevitably drive up the price.

Once it broke through the $5,500 historical high, subsequent rises to ten or twenty thousand dollars would not be surprising.

So even with money, purchase was not guaranteed; with Lu Liang's successful quiet move, the real Market Maker would definitely be on guard.

If anyone dared to get involved, their head would be chopped off; the only way to enter the fray was through Lu Liang.

"Mr. Lu, why the hurry, where are you off to?"

At this moment, Lei Jun also walked out from the State Guesthouse.

"It's said he's heading back to Modu to take care of some official business."

Old Ma replied absentmindedly and bid farewell before leaving.

In the early hours of the morning, the plane smoothly arrived at Modu Airport.

Leaving the airport, Lu Liang wanted to return to Sinograin No.1 to properly "teach" Li Manli a lesson for the inexplicable breakup.

But en route, he received a message and had to turn around to head to Skyline Garden in Xujiahui.

As he opened the door, Lu Liang saw the room filled with a pink, ambiguous light, and the air was perfumed with the scent of aromatherapy.

Wang Chuting wore a purple long dress, holding a wine glass, half-reclining on the sofa with her seductive demeanor and her long legs restless.

"What's the matter?" Lu Liang casually turned on the room lights and saw her face adorned with exquisite makeup.

Whether from drinking or something else, her cheeks were exceptionally red, like the flush after consummation.

Lu Liang chuckled dryly: "You told me you were sick? Does this look like you're sick?"

Wang Chuting stretched her long legs, picked up a cigarette from the table, took a drag, and with a wine glass in hand, approached Lu Liang.

The room filled with the clicking sounds of her high heels, taller in heel than Lu Liang by a bit.

Her palm rested on Lu Liang's body as she exhaled smoke, her voice low and magnetic, "Isn't lovesickness a disease?"

"Why do I think you seem feverish?" Lu Liang took the wine glass and emptied it, encircling her waist, his hand venturing down.

Her silk dress was soft, but he felt no lining beneath; Lu Liang was amused: "I think you are really feverish."

"Mhm." Wang Chuting giggled foolishly like a lovestruck girl, eager to help Lu Liang shed his coat and relieve him of his restraints.

"You're so hot~"

Lu Liang suddenly remembered the other two times Wang Chuting had a fever; once in Wuzhen, once in Boao.

Wang Chuting's excitement was unlike other girls who were physiological; hers was psychological.

She became exceptionally excited at every event where he made a mark, as she had said, unconsciously tightening.

"Do you like that?" Wang Chuting extended her tongue, lightly flicking Lu Liang's earlobe serpentinely.

She also felt she was perhaps sick; the same Lu Liang who appeared in the evening news was now lying in her bed tonight.

The sensation was indescribably thrilling.

"Can I say no?" Lu Liang smiled, suddenly urging to tease her.

After all, he had been deceived into coming here; Wang Chuting told him she was sick, her tone desperate and lifeless.

He came because of worry, only to be met with such a performance.

"No~~" Wang Chuting's drawn-out tone preceded her tackle of Lu Liang, unconcerned with the surroundings.
