After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future-Chapter 278 - 277: 30 Billion in 18 Minutes
The next day, Lu Liang's night out at the bar soared to the top of the trending searches.
"The public fund is being released today, and yet he was out playing at a bar until after 2 a.m. last night?"
"Liangzi, we're talking about 300 billion in twelve digits, not just three thousand. Is this how casually you treat it?"
"Someone in their thirties, can't they be a bit more serious? How can investors feel secure entrusting their money to him?"
"Speak for yourself. These days, chaos in the financial sector isn't anything new."
"By the way, who was that woman with Liangzi last night? Does anyone recognize her?"
"It must have been Little Wang who called her over. Isn't she that female livestreamer from Panda, Li Xiaomeng?"
"The cute god? Did she get ruined by Liangzi?"
"What else, then? Cosplaying as a little reindeer on Christmas Eve and going to a bar with Liangzi, she must've definitely been ridden hard."
"I don't believe it. The cute god lives in a villa, drives a Pagani—she's so rich, why would she fall for Lu Liang?"
"To be fair, Liangzi isn't bad-looking, and standing next to Little Wang, he even appears more handsome."
"Also, it's not like there isn't a precedent. Milk Tea Girl with Daqiangzi is the most classic example."
"I don't believe it."
A horde of die-hard fans stormed Li Manli's Weibo, angrily demanding whether it was her at Lu Liang's side last night.
Li Manli woke up to find her phone almost smoking from the deluge of Weibo messages.
She still had the deer antlers from last night on her head, and with its dull tip, she poked Lu Liang's chin.
Because Lu Liang said he liked little reindeer, she never took them off again.
"What's wrong?"
Lu Liang yawned, checked the time, and found it was just past nine, he closed his eyes for a bit more rest.
Although the fund was being released at noon, everything that needed to be prepared had already been taken care of.
As long as he checked in before 12 o'clock at the company, there was no need to go over so early.
"Liang, take a look at the news online."
Li Manli jabbed him again with her antler.
Lu Liang glanced at it and, utterly indifferent, turned over and continued to hug the blankets, sleeping: "Let them gossip."
He didn't want to expose himself before because of Su Wanyu, but since Su Wanyu found out and ran off abroad, it didn't matter anymore.
If you dare to do something, you should dare to own it, although he still had two girlfriends, but both Zhang Tian'ai and Wang Chuting were very self-aware.
One wants to stay famous and become a big star, and the other's intentions aren't clear yet, but she probably has no small ambitions.
Li Manli hesitated for a long time before editing a nine-grid photo post to show to Lu Liang, and she asked cautiously, "Liang, can I post it like this?"
A Christmas tree and her cosplaying a little reindeer, and wishing her fans a Merry Christmas.
Though she didn't openly admit it,
there was a strong implication.
Lu Liang hummed in response, picked up her phone, and sent it straight away, then tossed it aside.
He had partied a bit too hard last night, having mixed three types of alcohol, and now his head was still a bit sore.
Li Manli's smile blossomed like a flower, and she suddenly sprawled on top of Lu Liang, hugging him and planting fervent kisses: "I really, really love you."
"Hmm~"
After resting for more than half an hour, Lu Liang got up, washed up, had breakfast, and arrived at the company.
The Tianxing Assets that used to be to the left of the entrance had moved to the 22nd floor, and now it was replaced by Tianxing Fund Management Co., Ltd.
In the beginning, Sun Yutao and Zhang Jing followed Lu Liang, the former becoming the private fund general manager and the latter the public fund deputy general manager.
"Everything's alright with the channel through ICBC, right?"
Lu Liang called Zhang Jing to inquire about the details, as there was still thirty minutes left before the public fund went online.
Zhang Jing replied, "No problem. President Liu from ICBC has specially opened up five large transaction channels for us."
Despite the online discussions about Lu Liang going to bars and sleeping with internet celebrities seeming tumultuous, in reality, they had no impact at all. Morality and capability should never be judged by the same standard.
On the first day, they released 30 billion worth of subscription shares, and according to their forecast, a guaranteed 10 billion would flow in within the first hour.
ICBC had long been ready with personnel. It's heard that they even pulled staff from surrounding branches, totaling over 300 people, to ensure the funds were handled accurately.
As time ticked by, Lu Liang listlessly watched media predictions about the dual credit balances of various car companies.
Six days remained until the end of the year.
Apart from SAIC, BYD, and Tesla which had positive credits, all the other car companies had negative ones.
SAIC had amassed 185,000 new energy credits thanks to the Wuling Hongguang Mini, a single car model, comfortably topping the credit leaderboard.
Offsetting SAIC's 80,000 negative credits, there was still a surplus of over 100,000 credits.
As the year-end was approaching, it was time for stock-taking.
The price for new energy credits had shot up, from 2,400 yuan to 3,200 yuan.
It was predicted that by the official reconciliation in March next year, the price could rise to 4,000 yuan each.
If SAIC Group were willing to sell new energy credits, they could earn a revenue of 450 million yuan just by selling the credits alone.
BYD ranked second with 142,000 positive credits, although their batteries have a higher capacity, producing more credits.
But their sales were far less than the Hongguang Mini, with the Qin and Song models going to market and totaling sales of only 72,000 units to date.
Tesla was third with 22,000 positive credits, mainly suffering from insufficient production capacity.
With recent pilot production, if they could increase production capacity and fulfill 70,000 pre-orders, they should be able to overtake BYD.
The other automakers like FAW, Beiqi, and Guangqi, all Chinese and joint venture car businesses, started with negative credits of at least two hundred thousand.
FAW mainly produces Volkswagen, Toyota, and Audi, with the best sales, directly incurring 540,000 negative credits and steadily sitting at the bottom.
Under the new energy policy's restrictions on car companies, if the 540,000 negative credits aren't addressed, next year's sales volume is destined to fall by 15%.
The policy cuts the upper limit.
Taking FAW's sales of 5 million units this year as an example, without addressing the negative credits, next year's cap would be 4.25 million.
Exceeding the cap, for every additional fuel car sold, they would face hefty fines ranging from tens of thousands to hundreds of thousands.
Whether it's self-production or importation, as long as they handle the sale of fuel cars, carbon credits are generated.
"Now the leaders who set the new energy policy must be very troubled," Mr. Lu said with a furrowed brow, feeling the pressure.
Of the three companies with positive credits, Tesla is fully foreign-owned, BYD is privately-owned, and only SAIC is state-owned.
There's a saying, "the law does not punish numerous offenders," and with only one and a half qualified students in the class, the teacher must weigh his options carefully.
If enforced strictly, it's likely to cause a public outcry.
But if turning a blind eye or granting leniency, with the nature of those car companies, they would not take it seriously.
The joint venture car enterprises are all the same, dragging their feet and regressing unless faced with a major crisis; they certainly won't jump into action.
"Mr. Lu, the fund is live," Zhang Jing suddenly shouted.

Lu Liang looked at the screen in front of him, which hesitated for a few seconds, then the figures leaped from zero to nine digits, still skyrocketing.
Of the three fund subscription channels, the most capital flowed in through ICBC, followed by Alipay, and lastly Tenpay.
In 29 seconds, the subscription capital reached 1 billion yuan.
In two minutes and fifty-two seconds, it hit 10 billion yuan.
At eight minutes and twenty-two seconds, it reached 20 billion yuan, and the speed of capital growth began to slow.
But the slowdown was only relative.
At 12:17:31 PM.
The 30-billion-yuan subscription was full.
Most people had just gone to lunch or used the restroom, only to return and discover the originally bright orange subscription font had suddenly turned grey.
The news swept through the internet like a storm.
"Watt?"
"What's going on?"
"Less than 18 minutes…"
"Weren't they all saying Liangzi wasn't reliable? Playing games with a public fund of 300 billion?"
"You guys are something else, one set of rules to my face, another behind my back, I wasn't even done shitting and the 30 billion was gone."
"Brothers, this is about giving money away, not robbing it; does it need to be this exaggerated?"
"So fast? It's too fake, right? Is there really 30 billion?"
Suddenly, someone doubted, accusing Lu Liang of fraud, deliberately creating a false impression of supply not meeting demand.
Tianxing Mixed Fund actually had limitations too, such as being over 23 years old, and each identity ID could only subscribe a maximum of 2 million.
This was also why Lu Liang set a cap on the funds, to give more people a chance to participate.
But now it's being questioned.
Even with a maximum of 2 million per person, that would still require at least 15,000 individuals. Are there really that many people who could come up with 2 million?
"Just because you don't have it doesn't mean others don't."
Before the official response came out, someone had already posted screenshots directly. He, his wife, and his father, three accounts totaled 6 million.
"Actually, integrity is one thing, and Liangzi's strength is there for all to see."
One of the netizens who had been most vocal in the morning.
Casually posted a screenshot of 1.2 million.
"I can't believe it, you real dogs, all quietly subscribing yourselves while telling others not to?"
"This comrade, how can you speak like that, this is called strategic deception, but still, Liangzi managed it, 30 billion in just 18 minutes."
At that moment, a financial blogger who was very clear about the operation of public funds said earnestly, "Everyone, cherish the upcoming few subscription opportunities.
A scale of 300 billion will definitely not release 300 billion because it needs to have large institutions' capital for reserve.
Normally, they account for 50%, meaning that subscription capital put out will not exceed 150 billion yuan."
