After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future
Chapter 511 - 506: Busy, It's Good to Stay Busy

"Those who gain the Tao have more help, those who lose the Tao have less help. Liu Qing's loss isn't unjust."

Not only are netizens discussing this, but the offline bigwigs are also talking about it at gatherings.

Unlike the discussions among netizens, they are more concerned about the impact of this event and whether there are any profits to be made.

In fact, a few days ago, another incident occurred, but it circulated in a small range, and few people knew about it.

A procurement office in Shenzhen changed its supplier for the first time in twenty years, switching from Lenovo to Huawei.

Perhaps this represents that the comprador forces led by Lenovo will be liquidated and completely exit the historical stage.

If so, there would be a lot of profits to reap.

In the evening, Lu Liang arrived at the SOHO building in Zhongguang Village, accompanied by Zhang Bo, the Chief Technology Officer of DiDi.

DiDi's matters have basically concluded, with the next steps being roadshows, IPO financing, then waiting for the listing.

Lu Liang's task is complete, and now it's time to reap the fruits of victory.

He called over Zheng Yaowen, Qin Siyuan, and Li Jiahui, three key figures in the software development department.

DiDi is one of the twelve companies nationwide that holds a high-precision map license. Their research on application maps is only second to Gaode, stronger than Baidu.

Since Lu Liang has successfully taken over, they won't just integrate the database training system's algorithms. They also plan to develop their own in-car maps and collaborate to develop assisted driving beyond level L2.

If his magical ability is to hear the voice of the future, then the magical ability of the Tianxing OS system is DiDi's 1132 technical patents.

After the afternoon meeting, Lu Liang chatted for a long time with Zhu Jingshi. Even if DiDi ventures into the new energy market, they would only focus on autonomous vehicles for convenience in transportation, so their cooperation does not conflict.

"Zheng Yaowen, Qin Siyuan, Li Jiahui, and this is Zhang Bo from DiDi, Mr. Zhang, you all can chat."

Lu Liang doesn't understand technology, but he respects it. Over the years, he has provided all that is necessary, both in terms of manpower and financial resources.

Now it's time to reap the fruits. By the end of March next year, the production base will be completed, trial production will begin in April, and in May, the first new energy vehicle will be launched, with mass production planned to start in June and July.

Lu Liang hopes their technology, once launched, will make people exclaim, "Wow!" and shine differently from the current market's flashy goods.

So they only have four months left.

Upon learning of Lu Liang's plan, the group exchanged glances, and after a discussion, Qin Siyuan said, "Mr. Lu, we have no issues on our end."

Someone once said, new energy vehicles are just like adding four wheels to a smartphone.

This statement is both correct and incorrect, at least in terms of their development of the car-machine system, it is correct.

Over the past year or more, there were a total of 422,300 new energy vehicles on the market, equipped with their car-machine system, occupying a 14.5% market share, helping them improve the algorithm.

Now with DiDi offering technical support, it's a boost, and they can definitely present a report to satisfy Lu Liang by next April.

"I look forward to that day."

Lu Liang smiled, bid farewell, letting the techies have their private chats, and then headed to Hu Weiwei's office.

When she saw Lu Liang, she hesitated, paused, then decided to speak frankly, "Mr. Lu, Mr. Liu just contacted me, hoping to meet tomorrow."

Hu Weiwei and Liu Qing have some rapport. They've met several times, dined together, and chatted occasionally. While not best friends, they are general acquaintances.

To be fair, she was quite surprised, not understanding why Liu Qing would request a meeting, especially after being ousted by Lu Liang.

After much thought, she decided to inform Lu Liang to avoid any misunderstandings.

Lu Liang pondered for a while, then suddenly laughed, "She's probably looking to gather some information from you."

"Gather what information?" Hu Weiwei asked, puzzled.

Lu Liang chuckled, "Policy support, zero tax rates, cash subsidies, the hottest market concepts. Whether selling houses, or phones, or air conditioners, anyone with some money is looking to enter the new energy market. What do you think she wants to learn about?"

He suddenly realized why Liu Qing was so decisive. No surprise, she wants to grab a share of the new energy market.

After all, she has money, resources, and connections, and surely wants to find an industry with a high ceiling. New energy perfectly fulfills these conditions.

Besides real estate, cars are also the most expensive and largest commodity in the market, bar none.

"Mr. Lu, should I decline her?" Hu Weiwei asked without hesitation, as the rivalry between Lu and Liu is still trending.

Lu Liang is her boss, Tianxing Technology is her home, and she would never help a potential rival.

Lu Liang chuckled, "As long as you don't leak company secrets, your conversations are your personal affairs, and I have no right to intervene."

Hu Weiwei suddenly felt confused. She couldn't understand why Lu Liang seemed a bit expectant.

"A hundred flowers bloom, a hundred schools of thought contend; that's what makes it interesting."

Lu Liang smiled gently and added, "Even if she doesn't reach out to you, she'll find someone else, so why be so petty?"

"Then should I agree?" Hu Weiwei asked tentatively.

"It's up to you." Lu Liang didn't delve deeper into the topic, instead asking, "Where is Liu Pei?"

"Director Liu went to Modu a few days ago to verify the accounts," Hu Weiwei replied.

The end of the year is also the busiest time for the finance department, and during this period, Liu Pei has been running around a lot.

He doesn't trust subordinates with this; finance is different from other areas, and errors can lead to grave consequences.

"The Su City production base will be completed next March, with trial production starting in April."

Lu Liang talked about the recent conversation with Qin Siyuan, highlighting the need for Hu Weiwei to pay attention, especially to humanistic care.

Programmers work overtime without limits, day and night, and he doesn't want news of someone's sudden death to surface before launching the new car.

As he spoke, he picked up his phone to contact Liu Pei, but thought better of it. If there's nothing else, he'll be returning to Modu the day after tomorrow; they can talk then.

"Understood." Hu Weiwei nodded quickly, sighing, "They must be anticipating it greatly."

"Anticipating?" Lu Liang asked, puzzled.

"Because they've waited for a long time," Hu Weiwei chuckled.

Except when necessary, Lu Liang rarely inquires about the situation here, which puts a lot of pressure on them.

It's like a death row inmate; the hardest part isn't the day of the execution but the waiting period for the notification.

Because they don't know much time they have left, they live in constant fear, so knowing the exact timeline surely relieves them, allowing for early planning.

"So, are you implying it's my fault?" Lu Liang couldn't help but laugh.

He merely didn't want to burden them with too much pressure, so he seldom inquired.

Instead, it became a source of pressure, no wonder Qin Siyuan and the team seemed relieved earlier.

"I didn't say that."

Hu Weiwei shook her head fervently.

Lu Liang chuckled, waved, and said, "Go work well with DiDi, I'll be off then."

"Mr. Lu, let me see you out."

"No need."

Leaving the New Chenghai Building, Lu Liang wandered the streets, looking for a place to stay.

Zhang Tian'ai was jealous when Big Mimi added filters for him, and so she plunged into a film set after finishing the variety show, planning to add some filters to herself as well.

So many good friends, yet in Beijing, he found himself without a single place to stay.

He sighed deeply, "Alright, let's go back to the hotel and sleep."

At the Hilton Hotel, as Lu Liang walked into the elevator, a voice suddenly called out.

"Mr. Lu, good evening."

It was Lin Yan. Initially taken aback to see Lu Liang, she quickly greeted him, eyeing the scarf around his neck joyfully; Lu Liang had really worn it, and it wasn't just a polite lie.

"Not resting this late?"

Lu Liang smiled and asked which floor she was going to.

Whenever he took a flight, he'd stay in a deluxe suite, while others had normal double rooms.

"I just took a nap and woke up feeling hungry."

Lin Yan replied, her face flushed with embarrassment, as if a woman ordering late-night snacks was something to be ashamed of. After all, eating at night would easily lead to weight gain and is seen as not paying attention to body management.

Gathering her courage, she bravely asked, "Do you want some?"

Lu Liang looked at her with a gentle smile, gauging her appearance; she wasn't particularly stunning but exuded a very comfortable vibe.

"Some vegetables and kebabs, among other things."

"Sounds good."

"Yeah, it tastes quite nice."

The elevator reached the 7th floor where Lin Yan lived, and she looked expectantly at Lu Liang. He chuckled and said, "Then let's have some."

The elevator stopped at the 7th floor, where Lin Yan stayed, and she followed Lu Liang into room number 5, and her heart kept pounding.

In a room with just a man and a woman, anything could happen, and it wouldn't be surprising.
