After Divorce, I Can Hear the Future

Chapter 787: Independent Cliques



New York Time, three in the morning.

Lu Liang called Harris, the call was almost immediately answered.

He said with a smile, "Still not resting yet?"

"Almost done, just a bit more work left unfinished."

Harris felt suspicious: "Sir, you should be overseeing the financing for Tianxing Automobile, right?"

Lu Liang nodded and said, "The financing for Tianxing Automobile, Wen Chao mentioned it to me, we still need to proceed with caution."

Harris was taken aback, feeling warm inside: "Thank you, sir, for your concern. However, the current situation hasn't reached the stage where it needs to spill blood."

If problems can't be solved, then solve the people who raise them, although it's a method used by the IRS, lawsuits from the other forty-nine states and the Federal Court have all been submitted.

As soon as dawn breaks, this news will instantly spread across the entire North American Continent, placing Delimei in the eye of the storm, the IRS wouldn't dare to act rashly against them.

There would definitely be plenty of personal lawyers or firms willing to take on this lawsuit pro bono.

"Sir, reputation is wealth, far more important than life, far more important than being unnoticed," Harris said in a slightly manic tone.

He had spent time with a law professor in prison and knew that too many people long for success and reaching great heights.

Lawsuits by Delimei against the IRS have such large law firms willing to take the case, and once blood is drawn, only more will come forward tirelessly.

Lu Liang frowned deeply: "If you lose your life, then there's nothing left. Be ready to retreat at any time if the situation isn't right."

Harris laughed, wanting to reassure Lu Liang, and thumped his chest so loud it could be heard over the phone: "Yes! I wish Tianxing Automobile's financing goes smoothly."

"Alright, you should rest early."

Not long after, ending the call with Harris, Lu Liang sighed helplessly. Although it was about legal scholars, Harris was also talking about himself.

Wen Chao observed Lu Liang's expression, clearly the boss stepping in couldn't rein in this crazy wild bull.

He suggested, "Why not give a heads-up to Hilt, let him keep an eye on things, to avoid overly aggressive actions."

Hilt is indeed the president of Delimei, his low presence is because Lu Liang had handed most of the active authority over to Harris.

If Lu Liang wished, with just one command, he could completely withdraw the power from Harris, relegating him to a mascot, he would then be just a mascot.

"No need, let Harris have his fun."

Lu Liang chuckled, shook his head, and patted Wen Chao on the shoulder: "The financing has begun."

"Mr. Lu, take care."

Wen Chao was dumbfounded, watching Lu Liang leave in a daze.

Playing like this, Harris can easily bring ruin upon himself, Lu Liang can prevent it, but he chose to let it be.

The reason being if Harris ruins himself, it would actually benefit Delimei and indeed the group's development.

If there's such a bank, protecting customer privacy at the expense of 50 billion US dollars being frozen, leading to litigation with the IRS, and even the responsible person perishing unexpectedly.

From a customer perspective, then this bank would be the best in the world, even the so-called Swiss Bank couldn't hold a candle to it.

"Good afternoon, I am Lu Liang. Thank you very much to all the investors for being here. On behalf of Tianxing Automobile, I offer my most sincere gratitude..."

Lu Liang said with a smile, detailing the use of the 7.2 billion US dollars, mainly for the construction of the second phase of the production base, and technical research and development, ensuring the product's market competitiveness.

He then listed a few sets of data, starting from the early May delivery of the first Sky StarTianshu.

As of yesterday, 101,200 units have been successfully delivered, with 107,300 units yet to be delivered.

Among them, 5,200 units are pre-orders from developed countries such as Neon Korea and Singapore.

Next, the newly released Yaoguang since the 18th has reached a total reservation of 35,200 units.

Tianxing Automobile's full range of models has a non-delivery count of 142,500, with this year's production quota almost sold out.

"There are still a hundred thousand Tianshu units undelivered?"

Li Bing was dazed in astonishment, suddenly feeling that the two hundred million US dollar investment in his hand lost its appeal.

Tianshu has long not disclosed major reservation data, quietly coming up with a new term.

Automobile, yearly, production quota, sold out...

How are these words combined together?

"Mr. Wei, developing the low-price market under 200,000 is quite good, right?" Zero Pao's Mr. Zhu swallowed hard, his head stiff, turning to look at Deep Blue President Wei beside him.

A hundred thousand undelivered is not a big deal.

This achievement has been held by Li Xiang and Weima before.

But their hundred thousand undelivered was due to a monthly production capacity of less than ten thousand units, resulting in accumulated pre-orders.

In contrast, Tianshu delivered over 25,000 units in August.

This month, three weeks have passed with an accumulated delivery of 18,100 units, and September should also stabilize above 25,000 units.

Yet even so, there are still a hundred thousand units undelivered.

"Products affordable by the public should be what we strive for all our lives," Mr. Wei smiled wryly.

After all, penetrating the high-end market is the dream of every affordable brand, just like Xiaomi in the mobile sector continuously efforts in penetrating high-end.

Yet Xiaomi's numerous high-end attempts failed, and with Meng Wanqiu's unexpected arrest in Canada, patriotic sentiments exploded, all feedback directed towards Huawei, completely dooming Xiaomi's chance of becoming the nation's top machine.

The scene of that time resembles this very moment.

In the mobile sector, Apple corresponds to Tesla in the automotive industry, Huawei compares to Tianxing. Their path to crack the high-end market seems prematurely halted.

"Not necessarily."

A voice sounded behind the two, they turned to see a man with glasses and a mole on his chin.

"President Yu, what are your insights?"

Wei Mingliang frowned, he had previously consulted Yu Dazui, trying to facilitate cooperation between Deep Blue and Huawei to prevent Tianxing OS from monopolizing.

Back then, Yu Dazui kept dragging; after all, Deep Blue is unlike Huawei, unable to withstand delays, ultimately having no choice but to fall under Tianxing's wing.

However, with the autumn of September approaching, Yu Dazui takes up a role as Huawei's executive board member and director, as well as an acting CEO.

His presence at various auto entreprise's releases, including but not limited to Lotus Xiahua, Li Xiang's new model one, Weima M7, Lynk & Co 01, and Tianxing Yaoguang.

Can say more of a car expert than actual evaluators, he's clearly doing market research for subsequent projects.

"I wouldn't say insight, merely that the new energy vehicle market is just starting, everything remains uncertain."

Yu Dazui smiled nonchalantly, having no objection to Tesla being the automotive Apple, but only chuckles at Tianxing compared to Huawei.

Xiaomi's car factory is nearing completion, Lei Jun stakes his past glory on what looks to be a final entrepreneurial attempt, why would Huawei sit idle?

"President Yu, could you elaborate a little more?"

Zhu Jianming looked sincere, with Zero Pao just established, urgently needing a large entity for support.

Under the Tianxing tree is too crowded; it's hard to find a suitable place to cool down, if Huawei is also intent on entering the field, it could develop into a force in the new energy market that can't be ignored.

After all, not all enterprises can enjoy the patriotic fervor; being able to eat well is one thing, consuming it is another.

Huawei, after years focusing on technical development, evidently exemplifies both consuming well and in enough.

If Huawei ventures into new energy, even Tianxing would likely need to step aside temporarily.

"Mr. Zhu, if you are interested, we can find a time to discuss."

The two exchanged business cards,

And arranged for a time and place for their next meeting.

Yu Dazui, smiling broadly, looked again at Wei Mingliang: "Mr. Wei, is Deep Blue still interested?"

Wei Mingliang glanced at Lu Liang on the stage, smiled faintly, and shook his head: "Thank you for your kindness, President Yu, but Deep Blue has no plans to launch new products in the short term."

Though Lu Bu was the mightiest general of Three Kingdoms, today when people mention him, he's known most for being a turncoat.

Deep Blue early turned allegiance under Tianxing, with Lu Liang's automotive group and financial conglomerate simultaneously rising.

Wei Mingliang couldn't think of a reason to defect to Huawei.

"I remember we have each other's contact, waiting at any time for Mr. Wei's call." A flash of displeasure crossed Yu Dazui's eyes, yet he maintained the demeanor of a major group origin.

Wei Mingliang slightly nodded his head,

And didn't further delve into the topic.

Meanwhile, Lu Liang finished his speech, and the three prepared subscription booths immediately saw a long queue forming.

The E round financing was an unconditional public offering, open for any eligible institution to participate.

"Mr. Lu, Huawei is planning to take action."

Wei Mingliang found Lu Liang, informing him promptly about Yu Dazui's attempts to poach.

Following his gaze, there was a crowd, with Yu Dazui surrounded in the center, clearly forming a distinct small group in this financing conference.

He pondered, then smiled and said: "That's a good thing, more extensive the new energy market, the broader the prospects."
