Chapter 549: Chapter 544: Conceptual God

“Mr. Li, not all high prices equate to high-end. Investor approval doesn’t necessarily mean market approval.”

Lu Liang noticed Li Bing was getting a bit too confident, a bit inflated, so he appropriately reminded him, gave him some warning.

He always adheres to the principle of not intervening in things already predicted, trying to let them develop along the original trajectory to prevent deviating from predictions, like Ningde, like Li Xiang.

Facts have proven that the effect is very good, Ningde Era’s battery market share is increasingly high, technology is becoming more mature, and more recognized by the masses.

Li Xiang too, taking the family luxury car route, one listed for eighteen months, with total orders of twenty-eight thousand units, delivered over seven thousand units, becoming the leader of new energy forces.

NIO is the only exception, no technology, no audience market, taking the concept route.

The founders of concept-driven enterprises are often particularly important, sometimes even more than the product, because articulating a concept convincingly is articulating expectations, otherwise, it’s just boasting.

So it requires special attention from Lu Liang,

The previous concept god, just because he was too complacent and no one was keeping him in check, ended up saying he would return next week, but next week always became the following week, it has been almost a year in a blink.

The empire which once held a market value of 160 billion became only about 30 billion, heard it’s about to be ST, delisting is just around the corner.

Leaving behind hundreds of thousands of retail investors, hundreds of suppliers, a group of investors can only mourn the situation.

“Mr. Lu, I understand.” Li Bing restrained his smile, he might want to lean back comfortably, but doesn’t forget.

NIO could become a group army of international capital, Lu Liang’s face counts for at least 66.6% of the credit.

If he were to visit each one by himself, he might face countless rejections.

Liu Qing was constantly watching them, seeing Lu Liang continuously introduce institutional leaders to Li Bing, she felt a little envious.

But just a bit, Lotus’s lineup isn’t bad either, with Lenovo on the software side, Geely on the hardware side, having the fame of top supercars, and funding support from groups like Goldman Sachs Blackstone.

“Mr. Lu, I really hope to compete with you again in full flourish, I believe that day isn’t too far away.”

Liu Qing smiled softly and gradually withdrew her gaze, chatting and laughing with those around her, waiting for Cheng Wei to take the stage to deliver a speech.

She would admit defeat, but wouldn’t be convinced.

At exactly five in the afternoon, Cheng Wei took the stage to deliver a speech.

Speaking of the past, the present, and the future.

DiDi held roadshows in Beijing, Xiangjiang, and New York, planning to allocate 5% equity for IPO financing in each venue.

Each station’s financing quota is 2.725 billion US Dollars, the IPO price is tentatively set at 5.5 US Dollars, directly entering the global market upon listing.

As a company almost monopolizing the ride-hailing sector, it is highly favored by both domestic and foreign capital groups.

For instance, Citic intends to subscribe 2 billion US Dollars, Tencent 3 billion US Dollars, Saudi Sovereign Fund intends to subscribe 10 billion US Dollars.

In just an hour, Beijing’s first roadshow froze over 120 billion US Dollars in funds, with a subscription ratio reaching 44 times.

Unlike the initial Panda subscription, they intend to hold long-term, and have no high expectations for the first-day rise.

After all, with a size of 54.5 billion US Dollars, as subscription funds grow, it might reach up to 60 billion US Dollars before listing.

The larger the company’s size, the lower the first-day rise, but it simultaneously indicates stability.

Not every institution can be like Lu Liang, earning dozens of points annually, or even doubling returns.

As long as they can beat inflation, and make an appropriate ten or so points in a year, they would be satisfied.

After the financing conference, Lu Liang gently declined various banquet requests, finding time for a one-on-one with Cheng Wei, his task was complete, Xiangjiang Station and New York Station would have to depend on themselves next.

Cheng Wei looked reluctant: “Mr. Lu, you’re our anchor, without you, I don’t feel assured.”

“Enough already.” Lu Liang rolled his eyes, if he stayed, Cheng Wei would really not feel assured.

Cheng Wei gave a sheepish smile, rubbing the back of his head like a newcomer to society, still quite shy and reserved.

“I’m leaving.”

After bidding farewell to Cheng Wei, having agreed on tomorrow’s meeting time with Li Bing, only did Lu Liang return to Phoenix City.

Zhang Tian’ai was doing yoga in the living room, probably been doing it for a while, all the places that should be wet were wet.

Hearing the sound at the entrance, she turned her head and was surprised: “Why did you come back so early.”

Often Lu Liang’s whereabouts need not be specially inquired, one could know from media reports.

At this moment, he should be attending DiDi’s first roadshow’s success celebration dinner.

Lu Liang laughed: “Thinking about the beauty at home, drinking with those old men feels boring.”

He took off his jacket, half-lying on the sofa, enjoying Zhang Tian’ai’s curvaceous figure.

“I love to hear that~”

Zhang Tian’ai instantly beamed with joy, regardless of how much yoga session was left, she directly ended the day’s training.

“Wait a moment, I’ll take a shower first.” wanting to be intimate with Lu Liang but realizing she might have a bit of sweat smell.

Hurriedly returning to the bedroom, grabbing pajamas heading to the bathroom to freshen up, Lu Liang suddenly said: “Leave the door open.”

“Shower with the door open?” Zhang Tian’ai wrinkling her pretty nose charmingly, giving a flirtatious glance: “I won’t, bad person.”

Saying so she didn’t close the bathroom door, even standing where Lu Liang could see, slowly taking off her clothes in a way different from usual, like taking off pants from top to bottom.

“Duang~” Zhang Tian’ai mischievously smiled with self-provided special sound effects, two large ‘rabbits’ suddenly jumped out.

Lu Liang chuckled, couldn’t help but think Zhang Tian’ai was indeed alluring and good at seducing, also an exceptional actress.

The pace of undressing was slow and graceful like performing in front of a camera, every move graceful and charming.

“Half-open delicate face charmingly decor, at the yard’s edge, fair maiden emerges from bath newly made.” He suddenly recalled Li Qingzhao’s poem.

While distracted, Zhang Tian’ai was already covered in bubbles all over, manually covering key areas with heavy mosaics.

She suddenly tiptoed, bending her slim waist walking subtly, like stepping on invisible high heels, stepping out from the bathroom, drawing some foam from her chest, applying it on Lu Liang’s face.

Bending over close to his cheek, voice husky and seductive: “Mister, wouldn’t you want to bathe together with me?”

“Can’t help it with you.”

Lu Liang was speechlessly captivated by her offer.

Zhang Tian’ai chuckled, pulling Lu Liang with her back to the bathroom, only leaving behind a trail of water in the living room.

Meanwhile, the US side exerted pressure again, re-proposing the tariff increase act, passing with high votes.

The offshore RMB exchange rate fell sharply, breaking 6.7900 in the early hours of Wednesday.

In four days, it fell 800 basis points, countless speculative short-sellers profited massively.

Including Tianxing Private Equity, Sun Yutao immediately called: “Mr. Lu, it’s 6.79.”

The alert set at 6.7900.

“Above 6.7900, close out the positions, complete the settlement, let’s talk about the follow-up when I return.”

Lu Liang was tired, lying in bed, gazing at the two moons, Zhang Tian’ai with hair disheveled, eyes dreamy.

Today is February 16th, RMB breaking 6.8 is on April 2nd, just 45 days away.

For a profit below 100 basis points, holding overnight foreign exchange positions is not worth the cost.

Daily interest is not a small expense.

“Okay.”

Sun Yutao didn’t ask further, immediately ending the call.

Boss Lu seemed busy as he faintly overheard gentle female breaths.

At three thirty a.m., holding a 60 billion US Dollars, triple leverage short position, already closed above 6.79.

From the time of opening position until now took five days, cost price 6.7120, settlement price 6.7907, each point representing 575 thousand US Dollars in profit, with a total profit of 454 million US Dollars.

Sun Yutao worked until dawn, making the account into a simple report sent to Lu Liang, then ended today’s work.

This account file, Lu Liang logged into his email only at ten in the morning the next day, opened and reviewing.

Just a few simple income and expenditure data gave him a rough understanding of this shorting’s profit and loss.

Some more detailed data will wait until he returns to Modu for formal approval.

“What time is it, still not getting up.”

Lu Liang saw the exposed thigh, showed a mischievous smile, the moment his palm touched, a crisp sound arose.

“Ah, it hurts~” Zhang Tian’ai emerged from under the covers, face full of resentment: “I need to take a few more days off.”

“It’s not that bad, I didn’t use much force.” Lu Liang was astonished, his control didn’t even leave a palm print.

“I’m talking about here! I need to wear a dress to attend the launch on the 19th~”

Zhang Tian’ai reluctantly revealed half of her Su chest, like bitten by mosquitoes, in neat rows of four small strawberries above.

Lu Liang chuckled: “If you didn’t bump into me so hard, how would I suck you.”

“I couldn’t help it, it wasn’t intentional.”

“Anyway, you hurt me.”

Lu Liang wore his pants, with a smile: “I won’t come back for lunch or dinner.”

He left swiftly, leaving behind an angry, cheeks puffed like a bun, Zhang Tian’ai grabbing concealer to apply and hide it.
