After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future-Chapter 562 - 557: Eight Years Honing a Sword, Tengshi Strikes!
Chapter 562: Chapter 557: Eight Years Honing a Sword, Tengshi Strikes!
Beijing time, two in the morning.
Tesla’s stock price is 1083 US dollars, a decline of -9.22% for the day, with a market value remaining at only 182.5 billion US dollars.
"Mr. Lu, below 1080 US dollars, there are several hundred million dollars in funds for every 10 dollars drop."
Wen Chao observed for a while and noticed that at the 20-day moving average, the 1080 US dollars level had a lot of supporting funds.
Tonight’s short selling might have to stop here, unless they are willing to use more funds to break the 20-day moving average.
However, that would likely outweigh the benefits, after all, Lu Liang’s reduced holdings are unrelated to the company and don’t count as particularly bad news.
Without retail investors stepping in, it would likely drop only six or seven points, and another one or two points in the following days would be about it.
But due to the retail investors’ smart-aleck behavior, the main institutions first missed the chance, then nearly got trapped in the rally.
The money they lost could only be recouped from retail investors, which is why there was a near ’limit-down’ scenario.
"Let’s call it a night, find a suitable time to close your position," Lu Liang nodded in agreement with Wen Chao’s view and added, "Thanks for the hard work, having you run here so late."
"Thank you for your concern, Mr. Lu, it’s my job."
"Alright, close your position early, rest well."
After finishing the call with Wen Chao, Lu Liang walked out of the study.
He saw Li Manli lying on the sofa playing with her phone, seeming bored, opening an app and closing it repeatedly.
The brown pleated skirt was hitched up to her waist, revealing pink panties, with her over-knee white silk legs swinging up and down.
"Why aren’t you resting so late?"
Lu Liang quietly approached and suddenly pressed down on her.
That night, he took Su Wanyu to a bar and was photographed by many curious onlookers who uploaded the photos to Weibo.
Li Manli must have seen the related news and learned that he would be staying in Su City for some time.
Thus, she would subtly probe, asking if in the chilly March weather, a bed warmer girl was needed.
Lu Liang responded with a ’yes.’
Then, every day after her live broadcast ended, Li Manli would drive for over an hour to visit.
Eventually, she found it troublesome and simply opened another room next to where Lu Liang was staying, becoming his neighbor.
During the day, while Lu Liang was busy outside, she would stay in her room, streaming games, and sneak over after washing up at night.
"I’m a night creature; if the moon doesn’t sleep, neither do I!"
Li Manli liked the feeling of being pinned down and purposely turned to face Lu Liang, "Done with work?"
"More or less done."
Lu Liang rolled over, lying beside Li Manli, picking up his phone and swiping.
Tonight, amidst Tesla’s significant drop, London gold rose by 12 US dollars, breaking 1650 US dollars.
The offshore RMB almost broke 6.8000, but just almost; the 6.8 support is very strong.
Li Manli slyly smiled, stretching her white silk beautiful leg, drawing along Lu Liang’s pant leg, gradually moving up, suddenly turning over and sitting on Lu Liang with an air of banditry: "You’re done with work, now it’s my turn to get busy."
"Nicely trained."
Lu Liang discarded his phone, supporting Li Manli’s waist, touching her increasingly defined abdomen.
He believed no one could say ’NO’ to a girl with a cute face yet a fierce physique.
"I won’t train anymore; if I train more, I’ll lose it," Li Manli, sitting astride Lu Liang, took off her white shirt.
The price of abdominal muscles is the pectoral muscles, which weren’t big to begin with, and now they’re regressing with training.
She wants to leave something soft for her future baby.
Lu Liang showed a wicked smile: "Let the baby’s father taste whether it’s soft or hard first."
"Ew~~ you didn’t shave."
"A little stubble isn’t better?"
"Eat my bear-hug attack."
At five in the morning,
US stocks ended today’s trading.
That night, many people couldn’t sleep.
Haile as the third-generation technology beacon of the United States after Microsoft and Apple, Tesla dropped over 10% for the day.
"Couldn’t sleep all night, can’t figure it out."
"Such an outstanding company, just because Lu Liang reduced his holdings, dropped so much?"
"What does Lu Liang know about technology? Just a vulgar rich man with a few bucks."
"Sigh, the bad driving out the good; isn’t there anyone to handle such blatant suppression?"
If it were due to force majeure like earthquakes, tsunamis, volcanic eruptions, that would be alright, but it’s man-made.
But because of Lu Liang’s share reduction announcement, Tesla, with a market cap of 200 billion US dollars, evaporated 20 billion US dollars overnight.
Tesla’s fans couldn’t accept it; to them, such a noble high-tech company, like the Han and Tang, could only fall by their strengths.
The result, however, was like Little Dragon Girl being ravished by Yin Zhiping.
They who had touted for the past two years that Lu Liang’s stake in Tesla was just the icing on the cake, suddenly found it unbearable.
Is the Little Dragon Girl still the Little Dragon Girl if she’s no longer pure?
Is the noble Tesla still worth their pursuit if it’s no longer noble? They reflected inwardly, suddenly bewildered, like a lone boat on the sea, unable to find its way back.
The illusion shattered quietly.
"It still has to be Mr. Lu."
"A deadly move at every turn."
After dawn, the news spread.
Far away in Shenzhen, Old Wang, upon hearing, had a glint of light in his eyes; BYD’s opportunity had come.
It was said they only knew how to make low-end cars without any drive to advance, but if possible, how could they be willing to stick to just doing low-end cars?
Others earn thirty to fifty thousand per car, call the absence of interiors a minimalist tech style, while they earn three to five thousand per car, being scolded daily, a neglected child couldn’t feel this wronged.
But there is no choice; BYD doesn’t do high-end for two reasons: first, the factory has tens of thousands of workers, and suppliers providing parts all need to eat.
If they followed others, selling one car for thirty to fifty thousand, only selling one or two thousand per month, those dependent on them for a living would have rebelled long ago.
Secondly, the best-selling Li Xiang also avoided Tesla’s track, carving a niche with extended-range and fridge-TV-big-sofa.
Upon reflection, NIO’s ES8 and Mao Dou 3 are competitive products, just that NIO can swap batteries while Tesla can’t.
Resultingly, if it weren’t for Li Bing’s glibness everywhere for financing, NIO’s grave grass would’ve been three feet high.
The opportunity is now here; Lu Liang financially shattered the Tesla illusion.
Even a small crack, like a tiny fracture on a glass mirror, unnoticeable, yet indicated that the glass was no longer intact.
Just like 99.99 is never 100,
Tesla is no longer an undefined existence.
BYD can also take its place.
That noon, a joint Chinese-German brand, Tengshi, with BYD holding 90% and Mercedes 10%, officially announced a new car launch next month.
A sword sharpened over eight years, the Tengshi X!
Old Wang appreciated Lu Liang shattering the Tesla illusion, but they were also competitors.
Defeating the opponent is the highest respect for him.
Tengshi X aims not only for Tesla’s market but also to thwart Tianxing’s new car launch.
"Tengshi, finally arrived!"
"To choose this time to launch."
"The May Su City Auto Show is going to be spectacular."
Insiders exclaimed that Tengshi, founded in 2010, represented BYD’s ambition to break into high-end electric cars years ago.
However, in eight years, apart from an initial concept car, there was hardly any activity, and it was soon forgotten by the public.
But it was always remembered by those with intent, after all, this was a BYD and Mercedes joint car.
Now it’s finally here, used to snipe Tianxing’s new car, even if Lu Liang retreats from new energy, it wouldn’t be in vain.
After all, BYD represents the pinnacle of domestic electric cars, contributing a quarter of last year’s 1.2 million electric car sales.
Bringing a hidden brand into the world after eight years, even if Tianxing Automobile dies, it will do so with dignity.
Nobody really expected much from Tianxing Automobile, more grapevine had it, the new model was a coupe.
’...’
They saw it as a large toy for Lu Liang for self-amusement, since his money seemed to be blown in by the wind.
"Old Wang, indeed the first to lose patience."
Lu Liang, upon learning, immediately obtained Tengshi’s data: "BYD plus Mercedes, a powerful alliance, coming in strong."
"The May car show will indeed be spectacular," he said, standing in the office of the new building, overlooking the factory site and the coming and going of trucks.
Tianxing V5 started trial production.
