Chapter 591: Eighteen That Year, Standing Like a Minion

“Brothers, there are so many people here today.”

As Lu Lianggang walked up to the podium, he saw a girl wearing brown JK clothing, with twin ponytails, holding a selfie stick, and looking sneaky.

He smiled, took the microphone from Xu Daolai, and shouted, “Uncles, aunts, brothers, sisters, brothers and sisters, please look over here.”

“I’m Lu Liang. I just felt your enthusiasm backstage, so I couldn’t wait to come up and meet you.”

“There are indeed many friends here today. Fortunately, the exhibition is large enough. I hope everyone can walk inside and not block the entrance.”

“Friends waiting in line outside, don’t worry. The car is still here, the model is still here, and I am still here too.”

“If you are tired of waiting, you can get free mineral water, fruit or other small gifts at the exit with your voucher.”

“On behalf of the organizers of the auto show, I would like to thank everyone for their support again.”

The auto show opened at 9:30. Among the young people, except for self-media and outdoor anchors, most of them were uncles and aunts.

The elderly are the ones who are most likely to get into trouble. As long as we can trick them away, everything will be easy.

Just as Lu Liang expected, as soon as he finished speaking, a group of old men and women suddenly rushed into the empty exit.

Compared to free ice cream, fruit is more attractive to them, and it would be even better if it was rice, flour, grain and oil.

The old men and women rushed to the exit, and the venue suddenly became empty and tidy.

“Brother Liang, you are still handsome.”

Li Manli smiled with her eyes narrowed, feeling a sense of pride, he was worthy of being her man.

But she regretted it as soon as she said it. Tens of thousands of viewers in the live broadcast room were all typing “?”

“Don’t go back to your old love. What’s so good about a man in his thirties? I’ll support you by delivering takeout.”

“Anchor, I advise you to forget about Liangzi. You two are not the same kind of people at all.”

“I’m a new fan and I’m confused. I need an experienced person to explain it to me.”

“Liangzi and Xiaomeng have been dating for two years.”

“Ryoko’s ex-girlfriend? So cool?”

“A former candidate for the billionaire wife?”

“Billionaire, what are you thinking? It’s just for fun.”

Li Manli’s face darkened and she was filled with anger. She shouted, “The housing manager is here to work. Take that thing out of here.”

She and Lu Liang are truly in love, and she believes that Lu Liang loves her the same way, but the turbulent world makes it impossible for Lu Liang to be hers alone.

She could understand that, but the authenticity of their relationship could not be questioned by others, even if it was just talk.

At the same time, seeing Lu Liang step down, Xu Daolai greeted him with a smile: “Boss Lu, it’s all thanks to you.”

“Director Xu, this is indeed an oversight on your part. It would be better if you could just charge a symbolic 10 yuan for the ticket.”

Lu Liang is outspoken. He believes that if he does good things, he should let others know about it. If he helps others, he should also let others know about it, otherwise he will think it is his due.

If he hadn’t come forward to calm people down, what would have happened later, such as a stampede? No one knows.

If this really happens, Xu Daolai will lose his job, and Lu Liang needs to let him know the interests involved.

“Mr. Lu, this is my negligence. I’m grateful for your kindness. I will keep it in mind.” Xu Daolai said seriously.

Lu Liang suddenly smiled and said, “It’s just a small favor, don’t worry about it.”

“Director Xu, please go ahead and do your work. I just saw a friend coming over.”

He just saw Li Bing on the stage and wanted to go and find out what these people were playing.

“Mr. Lu, it will be your turn to speak around 10:10 later, remember to come.” Xu Daolai instructed.

“I’ll be back soon.” Lu Liang hummed and strode towards the NIO showroom.

“Mr. Li, why are you here so early?” After meeting a few people on the road and taking photos, Lu Liang came to Li Bing.

“The early bird catches the worm.” Li Bing pursed his lips and looked towards the Ideal Xiaopeng exhibition hall. Li Xiang and He Xiaopeng were both there.

The two men had serious expressions on their faces as they looked at the Tianxing exhibition hall and were talking about something, but they were too far away to be heard.

“Let’s go, we’ll know what they are talking about.”

Lu Liang said with a smile, and took a look at his own exhibition hall.

There are twenty exhibition halls of various sizes in the venue. The Tianxing Automobile Exhibition Hall is the largest and has the most visitors.

The three exhibition cars were surrounded by people and were almost worn out by the tourists. It was definitely a wise move not to hire car models.

Li Bing nodded, and before leaving, he couldn’t help but look towards his own cold and indifferent showroom, where only a few car models were posing.

It is true that ep9 is cool, but it is just a concept sports car. The least impressive thing in this auto show is their NIO.

“Mr. Li, Mr. He, long time no see.”

“Mr. Lu, congratulations, the new car is a great success.”

Li Xiang and He Xiaopeng lamented that they know best how difficult the new energy industry is.

Especially the pure electric one, it is really not a rumor, it is a smartphone plus four wheels.

How come Tianshu, which has no refrigerator or sofa, is so popular? Could it be that Lu Liang’s personal influence is so great that he can make fans spend hundreds of thousands of dollars to buy a car? Lu Liang smiled and said, “Mr. Li, the ideal choice may be right, but it doesn’t mean that Tianxing’s path is wrong.”

In addition to BYD, Tesla, NIO, Li Auto, and WM Motor, there are nearly eighteen new new energy brands at this auto show.

Ideal success has given them an illusion that the refrigerator, color TV, big sofa and car are a mobile home.

So they rolled as hard as they could, wishing they could go to the toilet, take a shower, and eat hotpot in the car, and they did all kinds of things.

Lu Liang used to agree with this route, but now he doesn’t.

A car is first and foremost a means of transportation, and then anything else.

Treating your car as your home is only done when you have no other choice.

If conditions permit, spending a few dozen dollars to stay in a hotel is definitely more comfortable than staying in a car.

Therefore, Tianxing chose the same route as Tesla, focusing on safety, performance, energy consumption, and control.

A car is first and foremost a means of transportation, and on this basis you can expand it to include a refrigerator, a color TV, and a large sofa. It’s fine to have it, but it’s also okay not to have it.

The last part is intelligent driving. With the combination of visual technology and radar technology, Tianshu has already presented a complete form, which is a field that ideal cannot match.

“Alas, smart driving…” Li Xiang frowned. He finally reaped the bitter fruit of the cause he had sown.

But he had no choice at the time. If he were to choose again, it would be the same. Ideal had no money and could not develop it on its own, so he could only accept Tianxing’s authorization.

Furthermore, Tianxing OS is definitely in the first tier.

People only know about Lu Liang’s investment in the Tianxing Park, and even launched the 100 billion-level Lingshui New Energy Industrial Park for this purpose.

However, he didn’t know that Tianxing Park was just spending money, while Tianxing OS consumed most of his energy in the past two years.

First, they used threats and inducements to coerce and bribe Luo Yonghao, forcing him to package and sell the Hammer OS, which became the infrastructure of Tianxing OS.

Secondly, he planned to take over Didi. He would rather offend the Liu family and kick Liu Qing out of the house just to access Didi’s huge database feeding system.

The former is now Lu Liang’s number one black fan. He speaks sarcastically in his daily live broadcasts, saying that if Smartisan Technology had not died, they would have had a place in the era of new energy vehicles. It was a pity that some dark forces were involved, and it was not his fault.

The latter was defeated by Didi and returned to Lenovo, and jointly acquired Lotus with Geely. It is watching closely and is ready to launch a large-scale attack at any time.

Most people cannot bear these two causes and effects, but Lu Liang did, so Tianxing OS was able to rank among the top tier.

Li Xiang couldn’t help but sigh and looked at Li Bing. The two looked at each other and understood each other’s bitterness.

Ideal sales are good, and I have some spare money.

NIO had just gone public and had some money on hand.

They can all start developing their own car computers, but their hands and feet are tied.

Because now the owners of Ideal and Weilai cars are already accustomed to using the skin of Ideal and Weilai, but in fact it is the Tianxing system.

Even if their self-developed car computer surpasses Tianxing OS, it is still very difficult to change the car owners’ usage habits.

What’s more, they are not sure they can make a car system that surpasses Tianxing OS in a short period of time.

Besides, they are making progress through their own research.

Will Tianxing OS stagnate?

If the first step is wrong, you don’t know how much it will cost to correct it, or it may not even be corrected at all.

As the two exchanged glances, Xu Jiawei walked over to Lu Liang and whispered, “Boss Lu, it’s almost time.”

“Everyone, you guys chat first. I’ll go up and say a few words.” Lu Liang was all smiles. After saying hello, he quickly walked onto the stage.

Looking at his departing back, Li Xiang asked in a deep voice: “What does Weilai think? Continue to use Tianxing’s car computer.”

Li Bing said with a smile: “The battery swap project has consumed too much of our financial, material and energy resources, and we have no time to consider other things.”

Li Xiang said coldly: “Tianxing OS will grow into Android. Can’t you see the difficulties that those mobile phone manufacturers are facing now?”

Ideal wants to develop its own research, but now the financial, material and energy resources do not support them to fight against Tianxing, so they can only form alliances.

“What if I saw it?”

Li Bing asked back, and said calmly: “Android belongs to Google, but Tianxing belongs to Mr. Lu.”

Li Xiang stared at him for a long time, his face full of disappointment: “You have changed.”

Li Bing chuckled and said, “If Ideal has the opportunity to go public in the United States, I think you will change too.”

In any industry, it is a capital game at the end of the day. Lu Liang has already squeezed onto the table and become a member of capital.

He doesn’t think this change is a bad thing.

Li Xiang remained silent.

He Xiaopeng on the side wanted to say something but stopped in the end.

I was eighteen that year and stood like a minion.

As long as Li Xiang asked, Xiaopeng would definitely agree, but it seemed that he did not even have the qualifications to cooperate.

Ideal has sales, Weilai has money,

In contrast, Xiaopeng has nothing.
