After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future-Chapter 109: Making an Entrance

Lu Liang analyzed and concluded, "BYD can be held for the long term."

Since its establishment in 1995, BYD has always adhered to the development philosophy of "technology as king, innovation as the foundation."

Whole vehicle manufacturing is just one of their industries, but it is not the core sector; their main operations are lithium battery production and urban transportation.

On September 18, it only marked the end of the overall market trend for the new energy sector, not the end of individual stock trends.

In the future, it might be possible to heavily invest in BYD and hold it for a long term, even becoming a shareholder is not out of the question.

BYD is a standard blue-chip stock. In an overall upward economic environment, buying blue-chip stocks is the best choice, mainly because the market value is high enough and the market is big enough to accommodate a lot of capital.

The new energy index has been opening high and going high for several days, growing continuously; it is quite common for half of the 54 constituent stocks to hit the upper limit.

Once the new policy was announced, domestic car companies responded to the national call, planning to launch the first pure electric car next year, further driving up the sector index.

A single decree, in just a few days, made new energy the hottest concept in the market, with no one able to surpass it.

By Thursday, after three and a half trading days, the new energy index had soared by 323 points, nearing 1800.

Lu Liang pondered for a long time and decided to add more fuel to this fire, to make it burn even more fiercely.

He used 86 million US dollars of reserve funds to pull Fangzheng Motor, Yiwei Lithium Energy, and Duofu among other stocks with market values less than 10 billion, to the upper price limit, not concealing his presence.

At five o'clock in the afternoon, the Dragon and Tiger List was updated, and the long-absent Punan Road No. 88 reappeared on the list.

This caused an uproar both inside and outside the market; the news of Lu Liang heavily investing in the new energy sector spread quickly.

LeTV reported that rumors suggest Lu Liang not only heavily invested in these three stocks but also held BYD and LeTV stocks.

"Is this kind of popularity also to be milked? Has Old Jia run out of options?"

That night, Lu Liang browsed the news and found that all the media were reporting, but they always managed to mention LeTV.

BYD is a dual-sector leader and is a topic that cannot be avoided in new energy discussions. It's not surprising to guess the heavy investments, but what does LeTV count for?

Although Lu Liang did indeed invest 38 million US dollars and increased his holdings later, making it the fifth largest among 11 stocks.

But to avoid appearing on the public stockholder list during the accumulation period, he distributed his chips across 24 accounts, each only holding 1.58 million US dollars.

Normally, Old Jia shouldn't know about his holdings in LeTV, which only indicated that he was trying to ride on the coattails of the hot trend.

Lu Liang pondered for a moment and phoned Wen Chao, asking him to commission a third party to investigate the financial situation of LeTV.

LeTV's market value was 128.5 billion US dollars, also being the leading stock in the Growth Enterprise Market.

Because of this, even if there were abnormal fluctuations in the stock price during the accumulation period, Lu Liang still heavily held onto it.

Old Jia held 21.55% of the shares in LeTV, with a net worth exceeding 25 billion US dollars; there was no reason for him to piggyback on its popularity.

Unless the finances were problematic, which would justify using this market situation to significantly drive up the stock price, either for loans or for cashing out.

The next day, Friday, suddenly a piece of news came.

NIO was rumored to have reached a strategic project worth ten billion with Jianghuai Group, laying out plans for the new energy industry.

According to insiders, first-line venture capital institutions such as Tencent, JD, Gaoling, Xiaomi, and Tianxing enthusiastically joined.

The news had just been released and the market hadn't yet reacted when news came from the north.

Auto Home's Li Xiang was planning to rebrand his cars and homes to Li Xiang Car, suspected of reaching a ten billion strategic-level project with Lifan Group to jointly plan the new energy industry.

Close to noon, more news came from the south.

After selling UC last year and staying quiet for a year, He Xiaopeng founded Xiao Peng Car and reached a ten-billion strategic-level project with Guangqi to jointly plan the new energy industry, deciding to hold a product launch on October 10 to announce their first new energy concept car.

It was as if everyone had agreed to announce their news today, differing from NIO and Li Xiang's suspected cooperation, as He Xiaopeng actually teamed up with Guangqi.

Guangqi Group also stepped forward to respond, confirming a hundred-billion-level production base would be located in Zhaoqing City, with the project divided into three phases, planning to use 3000 acres of land.

NIO, Li Xiang, and Xiao Peng, three major new forces in car manufacturing, emerged dramatically, giving the financial market's new energy index another surge of adrenaline.

The market closed with a sharp rise of 145 points, with the entire sector almost reaching the upper limit, soaring 468 points in a week, with a total market value exceeding one trillion.

"Not bad, the new energy sector grew by 32.12%, and the total gain of my holdings is 28%."

Looking at the 814 million US dollars in his account, Lu Liang's face showed a satisfied smile.

This market trend would continue for another nine working days, and turning 635 million into one billion shouldn't be a problem.

Just after four o'clock in the afternoon, Lu Liang walked out of the trading room, ending his work for the week.

Wen Chao approached him, handing over a financial report on LeTV Group prepared by a third-party research institution.

Although it had sustained losses over successive years, its financial condition was healthy, with 3.585 billion US dollars in cash flow from the last quarter's settlement.

"Somehow feels fake."

Lu Liang couldn't help but laugh because the financial statement looked too good to be true; if they were really that wealthy, they wouldn't need to piggyback on his popularity.

But he didn't take it to heart, since next week, they were about to cash out and leave anyway.

It was just a one-time deal, and any potential fallout was not his problem.

Lu Liang headed to the office, asking as he walked, "Who called me today?"

Li Bing had released news about investing in NIO to generate buzz. The news that he was betting big on new energy through Tianxing Private Equity wasn't a secret either.

He should now be a hot commodity in the new energy market. Creating cars was too costly; he always needed more investors.

"Li Xiang's Mr. Li, Xiao Peng's Mr. He, and LeTV's Mr. Jia."

"What did LeTV's Mr. Jia say?"

Lu Liang was surprised and immediately intrigued.

"Lesee is preparing for a Round B fundraising, valuing at 1.2 billion US dollars, and Mr. Jia has invited you to attend the financing meeting on the 28th."

"Old Jia really dares to boast, he doesn't even have a factory and he's starting at a 1.2 billion US dollar valuation."

Lu Liang chuckled in disbelief, pondering for a moment before saying, "Reply to Mr. Jia that I'll attend."

He wasn't interested in Lesee, nor did he have spare funds to invest; he just wanted to see how Jia Yuetting convinced investors with pie-in-the-sky promises, and perhaps learn something.

Over the weekend, the domestic new energy market was buzzing again.

Tesla signed an all-electric vehicle project investment agreement with Modu City Government, planning to build a manufacturing and sales base in China.

At the same time, Musk announced that he would open all patents to create "open source cars" to promote the advancement of electric vehicle technology.

"Third-class companies make products, second-class companies create brands, first-class companies set standards. The catfish has been put in the pond."

Lu Liang murmured as he browsed through related news and also received an invite from the president of Tesla's Chinese District to attend the Mao Dou X new car launch at the convention center on September 30th.

Not just him; Li Bing, Li Xiang, He Xiaopeng, Lei Jun, Shen Peng, and Jia Yuetting - anyone with an interest in the new energy industry had received an invite.

Lu Liang ended up in the loop because after investing in NIO, Li Bing had added him to a WeChat group called "NIO Shareholders' Meeting Subdivision."

Lei Jun, Shen Peng, Daqiangzi, Little Ma, and Gaoling's Zhang Lei were also in the group, making a total of six people, and they all got the message.

Li Bing let Li Xiang and the others know they had received invitations too.

"Here comes trouble," Lei Jun sent a smiley face.

"Open sourcing technology is good; in the future, we can progress together following Tesla's steps," said Little Ma, in typical Tencent style.

Zhang Lei asked, "How are the talks with Jianghuai going?"

"We're still talking, but it's about to be wrapped up," replied Li Bing.

"What about Lu Liang? Why hasn't he spoken since he joined the group?" Shen Peng suddenly asked.

"Must be busy. I heard he made a good deal in the stock market," Daqiangzi, never one to endure silence, took the chance to chime in.

In the group, their average worth was billions; they didn't need to keep a stiff upper lip like in public or at the company.

Even Lu Liang, who was the least powerful, controlled a venture capital and a fund, making him their equal in conversation.

Suddenly, a red envelope appeared in the chat window. Lu Liang clicked it instinctively, revealing 2.85 yuan, and his face darkened immediately.

The red envelope was worth only ten yuan; it was obviously a trick to lure him into the conversation.

"I knew you were lurking; now I've caught you," Shen Peng said with a laugh.

"All these big shots, I'm trembling too much to even speak," Lu Liang replied.

Lei Jun: "Too scared to speak, but quick with his hands."

Little Ma: "Either observing all the time or using a cheat."

Daqiang: "New guy, you better resend a red envelope."

Zhang Lei: "Resend a red envelope."

Li Bing: "Resend a red envelope."

"Fine, I'll resend."

Annoyed, Lu Liang resent 0.15 yuan, sending a three-yuan red envelope without claiming any for himself — very generous.

The next second, the screen was filled with contemptuous emoji.
