After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future-Chapter 560 - 555: Reduce Holdings in Tesla
Chapter 560: Chapter 555: Reduce Holdings in Tesla
"Mr. Lu, when do you plan to start trial production?"
On the other side, Lu Liang accompanied several leaders to visit the production line, and one of them asked.
He is the second-in-command in charge of the economy. Alongside the auto show, he proposed holding a supplier conference, mainly to avoid situations where companies in Lou Shui Industrial District might face shortages.
If possible, he still hopes Tianxing Technology can stand tall, take the lead, and become the beacon of new energy in Su City.
After all, as a homegrown enterprise, the jobs and GDP it generates belong to Su City.
"Trial production will start mid-March, if everything goes smoothly, we’ll launch the new car at the end of April and commence production in May."
Lu Liang’s response made everyone quite satisfied, and the leader was all smiles and said, "Mr. Lu, if there’s anything you need help with, please feel free to ask."
"For sure, for sure."
From his words, Lu Liang felt a strong sense of importance.
Indeed, industries are the way to revitalize the nation and bring them political achievements. Back in Modu, he never received such courtesy, and he had to worry about cutting others in the market, then being cut offline by others.
At noon, after seeing off the leaders, Lu Liang stayed in the factory area, waiting for Zhang Peiqiang and the engineers from Germany to complete their discussions.
Just as Li Xiang had guessed, not all ten production lines would be manufacturing sports car models.
At the peak of each line’s monthly capacity, they could produce around 3,500 cars. Lu Liang intended to modify just three lines initially.
The remaining seven lines, four would prepare for the SUV launch in the second half of the year, the last three would be ready to supplement capacity at any time.
Even though he is very confident, the fact that annual sales of fuel-powered sports cars are only 500,000 units is an undeniable fact.
This market audience is indeed not many; the ideal situation each month is above 5,000 units, which would satisfy him.
The reason to prepare three production lines, estimating a capacity of 10,500, is because peak capacity can’t be reached all at once.
Because everything requires a gradual process, the first month at 5,000, the second month at 7,000, perhaps reaching the peak by the third month.
"Mr. Lu, can the video be released now?" Chen Jinchun asked with a smile, hopping over to Lu Liang with a few team members following behind, clearly acting like a big sister.
The previously recorded material was already plentiful, but it lacked the MVP settlement footage, and today she was here to complete it.
"Go ahead and release it." Lu Liang smiled and nodded.
"OKK~~"
Chen Jinchun was elated, waving her arms, and, with her friends, hurriedly returned to Modu.
At 8 p.m., Tianxing Investment’s official account updated the video and @Tianxing Automobile, which had just a single-digit number of followers.
"298 days, from scratch..."
Starting from the day Wanda Group acquired land for Tianxing Technology, accompanied by the background music of a nation’s rise.
An aerial drone shot showed an initially barren, weed-filled land, with anglers fishing by the shore.
After 298 days of construction day and night, with tens of thousands of construction vehicles deployed, four 100,000-square-meter factories landed, and two 100-meter-high buildings rose up.
Finally, Lu Liang stepped onto a podium to cut the ribbon, accompanied by Chen Jinchun’s voice-over: "Tianxing Automobile, the radiant blend of dreams and hope."
A dark screen, suddenly a few flashes of light, the image of light gradually becoming clear—a four-pointed star.
"Honey, honey, I’m coming~"
"My wife’s editing is still amazing."
"298 days? So fast, were corners cut?"
"Fast? You must not know what the Civil Engineering Sect is."
"As long as the money is right, tiles can cover the entire Great Wall in three days."
"Do you know the terms Liangzi proposed?"
"Understand the value of a 50% down payment for the construction costs?"
"Speaking of which, it seems that in the country’s new energy new forces, only Liangzi’s company has a self-built factory?"
"Weima: Yeah, yeah, whatever your Liangzi does is amazing."
"Weima, with its self-built factory, is known for being the king of cost-effectiveness; very much looking forward to Tianxing’s new car."
"The factory is built, and the new car is likely to be released, hoping it becomes my heartfelt favorite."
"Should hope it’s not too expensive."
"Doesn’t matter, anything below 500,000 I’m buying, thank Liangzi for making me rich over the past year."
Whenever this time comes, the comment section always has show-offs showing screenshots of subscribing to the public fund last year.
With the end of the adjustment in the new energy sector and individual stocks, the net value of the public fund rises again.
Although it did not reach the peak of 2.226 half a month ago, it now stands at 2.106, representing a 110.6% return.
In a year, a public fund earning 110.6% on 1 million, surpasses any predecessors and likely any successors.
It’s safe to say that nearly three million investors, as long as they intend to purchase electric cars, will prioritize Tianxing Automobile.
"Although these are all new enterprises with new brands, there’s a gap between new brands."
A new friend joins the Weiliao group, and Shen Hun from Weima joins as well.
As they are all new energy brands, they are competitors but also friends, needing to band together for warmth.
Although Tianxing is also a new brand, backed by Lu Liang, it doesn’t lack funds, and essentially differs from them.
Li Xiang suddenly spoke up, "Maybe, just as Mr. Lu said, this year is truly the year of the new energy electric vehicle."
"If things go as expected, Mr. Lei should see the publicity and will definitely accelerate Xiaomi’s listing to enter the new energy market."
"Once Xiaomi announces its entry, Blue Green Flower will no longer stand idly by."
"Beiqi, FAW, Guangqi, and others will also accelerate their layouts, jointly creating a prosperous market."
"The great era has arrived; may all of you leap through the dragon gate, farewell until we meet again."
"Farewell~"
"Farewell."
Although the group for new forces in car manufacturing still exists, no one will post messages there anymore.
The great era has arrived; for the sake of surging ahead, they don’t mind facing off against each other, nor pointing fingers and cursing each other.
In March, with Tianxing Technology opening, Lu Liang officially entered the arena, plunging the entire industry into utter silence.
"The calm before the storm."
Though Lu Liang remained in Su City, he hadn’t forgotten that tonight London gold would once and for all cross the 20-day line, opening the upward channel.
The verbal sparring between the two countries is intense, and judging by the future trend of London gold, there is no chance for mediation.
Now, it seems they’re just waiting for the United States to fire the first shot, as they have always adhered to the principle of not firing the first shot.
"Announce the start of divestment on the 15th, no longer acting as a long-term shareholder of Tesla."
Lu Liang directed his attention to Tesla.
With a market value of 2,105 billion US dollars, they hold 8.908 million shares, 10.69 billion US dollars, accounting for 5.08% of the circulating shares.
Later, he might want to short or deliberately suppress it, which would be inconvenient if he holds a reported stake.
After all, a major shareholder’s divestment requires an announcement to give market investors time to respond.
Too many shares make it unsuitable for his stealth tactics; the best shareholding ratio is not to exceed 5%.
"Okay, Mr. Lu."
Following Lu Liang’s instruction, Sun Yutao in Modu immediately sprang into action.
Traders split into large and small groups, the large group continued to go long on London gold, while the small group drafted announcements then began selling stocks.
During wintertime, at 10:30 p.m., U.S. stocks opened.
Tesla opened with a sharp drop of -7.12%, the stock price fell below 1,200 US dollars, and the market value retreated to 1,953 billion US dollars.
"Wow, why did Tesla drop so hard tonight?"
"I find, don’t you guys read announcements when trading stocks? Lu Liang divested."
"Lu Liang divested? Shouldn’t he? Isn’t there a term in finance called risk hedging?"
"Back then, because he wanted to manufacture cars, he took a stake in Tesla to help spread the risk."
"Regardless of his success or failure in manufacturing, he stands undefeated, why not increase holdings instead of cutting?
"Who knows what’s on his mind, could it be he thinks Tianxing Automobile can compete with Tesla? Worried about Tesla’s next quarter’s financial report affecting stock price so he sold in advance?"
"If that’s the case, that’s hilarious; charge, charge, buy the dip, decisively buy the dip."
"Liangzi’s a bit over the top; indeed, he’s outstanding in financial markets, but in the new energy sector, harshly speaking, what quality are those domestic car companies, including him?"
"Bro, that’s a bit too much; what’s the saying, give independent brands some confidence, although that is indeed the truth."
"Confidence isn’t given by consumers; it’s earned by companies; asking me to support those lousy cars with my hard-earned money, was my money blown by the wind?"
"Liangzi’s divestment is truly unwise~"
That night, the announcement of Tianxing Private Equity’s divestment from Tesla quickly spread across domestic and international financial markets.
International institutional hot money reacted swiftly, rushing and causing the stock price to plunge at the opening.
But they underestimated the domestic investors’ confidence in Tesla and the fervor of Tesla’s ardent supporters.
A massive number of small orders quickly bought the dip, lifting the stock price back to 1,200 US dollars, market value rebounding to 2,000 billion US dollars.
