Beijing, TikTok Company.
"Mr. Lu, truly at the top of the stream."
Yang Zhenyuan sighed, attracting over two million viewers to watch during a weekday morning around nine o’clock. Such influence across the entire internet is definitely rare, with not more than a handful having this power.
Thankfully, they had received early warnings and specifically increased bandwidth and servers. Otherwise, if the live stream crashed, Lu Liang would probably call him directly and roast him on the spot.
The easygoing side of Liangzi is only reserved for those who have no vested interests with him. For anyone with connections, especially those he’s invested in.
Like himself, or for Li Bing and Li Xiang, only they understand how volatile Liangzi’s temper can really be.
At this mont, many executives are discussing this matter.
"Youth is priceless, self-driving straight to Lhasa, Lei is facing an opponent this ti."
Before Lu Liang appeared, Lei Jun was regarded as the best in marketing among entrepreneurs, almost unparalleled.
But after Lu Liang appeared, it was like two masters eting and bringing out the best in each other, seeming like Lu Liang was a notch above.
Framing it as a self-drive, facing any unforeseen events along the way.
However, if there isn’t a team or even multiple teams behind his car, they dare not take their heads off to kick around like a football.
This seemingly dangerous self-drive tour is probably safer than his ho bedroom.
"Why choose a coupe?"
Soone couldn’t help but voice a soul-searching question.
The whole car pasted with black film, vaguely revealing it’s a coupe, making a billionaire self-drive to Lhasa for self-testing, instantly heightening anticipation.
After all, if Lu Liang dares to drive thousands of kiloters, risking his own safety, performance is uncertain for now, but safety is surely guaranteed.
Many are already excited for the official launch day, as long as the specs and design satisfy them, it will definitely be at the top of their purchase list.
It can be said that this self-driving tour conducted by Lu Liang is generating brand effects far surpassing marketing worth one to two billion.
If it were a mainstream car or SUV, Tianxing Automobile might likely pull Tesla down from its pedestal.
Thus, they also have a chance to substitute it, though they can’t beat imports, they are quite confident in competing against dostics.
If soday they succeed in the race, crowning the king of dostic new energy vehicles, it would definitely be credited to Lu Liang by a third.
However, clearly an opportunity to surpass Tesla, yet Lu Liang chose the niche coupe path.
They don’t understand, didn’t Lu Liang conduct market research before developnt?
Unaware that total coupe sales last year was only 485,000 units?
And they were fuel cars!
Taking last year’s fuel car sales of 24 million, new energy sales of 1.21 million, the ratio is roughly 20:1 as an example.
Then new energy coupe models’ annual sales wouldn’t exceed 25,000 units at the most.
Monthly sales just above two thousand units, for other car companies, could be regarded as manna from heaven, just like Li Xiang is pretty much the case.
But for Tianxing Automobile, which had huge initial investnts, it’s definitely a loss bigger than grandma’s house.
Even if Lu Liang is an investor, also an entrepreneur, he would definitely be questioned by those other investors.
Of course, he could be indifferent, but then no one would be willing to play along with him in the future, Tianxing would only rely on Lu Liang for financial help.
"Could it be, that there really is a market for new energy coupe?"
A group of executives is puzzled, after all, he’s Lu Liang, who in investnt and speculation has never lost till date.
Possessing a market intuition that is beyond ordinary, always catching the trend, becoming one of the top ten gatekeepers on the pig slaughter list in just three years.
Hence, a large number of investigators begin conducting a comprehensive investigation into the coupe model, attempting to find so clues.
anwhile,
The vehicle has just left Su City, heading towards He Fei direction, next passing through Wuhan, Jingzhou, Chongqing, and finally Chengdu.
An itinerary of 3800 kiloters planned for six days, averaging 633 kiloters per day, just enough to test the standard version’s 685 kiloters range.
Although it could reach faster, a self-drive tour should have the self-drive tour’s attitude, the destination isn’t the purpose, the journey is.
"Actually, we should have invited Mr. Zeng for this trip, as he promised the minimum battery pack for Qilin generation two reaching a minimum of 645 kiloters in range."
Lu Liang is looking ahead, driving while jesting: "If we don’t reach 633 kiloters each day, we should just call him to get out and push the car."
Live streaming comnts were flying fast, filled with a joyful atmosphere.
After all, so nas, other bloggers dare not ntion, but Lu Liang is totally unrestrained, taboo-free, the super admin can only hide trembling in a corner.
"What happened? Lost signal again?"
Lu Liang, while driving, can’t get distracted, though there is intelligent driving, he always emphasizes it’s just assistive driving.
It can be used for automatic parking, ergency evasion, reducing fatigue from long-distance driving, but shouldn’t rely on it too much.
One must still pay attention to road conditions, just unlike before, when you had to be fully focused the whole ti.
Usually, it’s Xiao Chen who reads the ssages from the netizens, and Lu Liang responds.
Xiao Chen looked embarrassed, stamring: "There is signal, it’s just the netizens suddenly showing interest in your life..."
Endless road, the vehicle paraters, specific pricing, Lu Liang won’t disclose much, netizens could only shift their focus from work to life.
Like whether the rumored affair with Zhang Tian’ai is true, whether he and Li Manli have actually broken up, and what’s his relationship with Wang Chuting?
Chen Jinchun isn’t silly, daring to ask these questions to make Lu Liang uncomfortable, afraid of not wanting to stay in the industry.
Lu Liang chuckled speechlessly: "What’s so interesting about my private life, let’s talk about sothing else."
"Ergouzi, you’ve changed."
"Before, you used to flaunt."
"Now you’re not willing to say it?"
Netizens in the live stream were dissatisfied, initiating a commotion, showing a posture of extre protest.
"Can’t handle you guys, let’s connect with Little Wang then, he should know more entertainnt gossip."
Little Wang smiled warmly, munching on snacks before the screen, opportunities to embarrass Lu Liang are few, how could he miss it.
But he rejoiced too soon, the live stream had a few seconds delay, one second Lu Liang finished speaking, the next he received the call.
"Relax, he won’t refuse to answer."
Lu Liang’s sharp gaze seed to pierce through the lens, seeing through Little Wang’s heart: "He’s surely lurking in the live stream now, if he dares to pretend to sleep, see how I’ll deal with him when I’m back."
"What’s up?" Little Wang’s voice ca from the handset, as if there’s also an echo from the live stream.
"Wow, truly best buddies, Little Wang was indeed watching the live stream." Netizens burst into laughter.
Lu Liang smiled and said: "Mr. Wang, stop lurking, co online and chat with the big account, the long road is tedious, let’s pass so ti."
Little Wang looked resentful: "Is it to pass the ti for or with ?"
"Both I guess, as so many friends strongly request, I can’t pretend not to see, right?" Lu Liang smiled, his eyes squinting.
The following days’ live streams were like this, Lu Liang randomly invited three to five link-up guests each day.
Business figures like JD’s Daqiangzi, NIO’s Li Bing, TikTok’s Zhang Yiming, and Xiaomi’s Lei Jun.
There were more entertainnt figures, Shen Teng, Wu Jing, Yang Mi, Zhang Tian’ai, Reba, first-rate top strears took turns appearing.
The live stream’s daily online population was million .
Heading west, through He Fei, Wuhan, Chongqing, and finally arriving at the starting point of Chengdu San Yiba Line.
"Mr. Lu, there’s a must-visit place here."
Xiao Chen bead with joy, as if she was on a trip, doing route-planning every day, learning about local attractions and snacks.
After all, they only drove for a little over six hours daily, each place they arrive at, they have to wander around and taste the delicacies.
Going out with Lu Liang, especially with expenses covered,
Eating well, drinking well, playing well, she enjoyed it the most.
Unlike Li Jiahui and Liao Jie, having to collect driving data daily, compile reports, and check vehicle performance.
"What place?"
Lu Liang showed a smile, hands in his pockets, following her slowly like Xiao Chen’s parent.
"There’s a coffee shop." Xiao Chen winked suddenly: "The owner here is a great beauty~"
Lu Liang froze for a mont, recalling sothing.
Ten ters ahead, there’s a coffee shop, at the door lies a Labrador weighing over a hundred pounds, plump like a pig.
Chen Jinchun suddenly sped up, sprinting in small steps, squatting in front of the Labrador, furiously rubbing its head: "Tu Tu, why do you feel so good."
At this mont, a girl about Xiao Chen’s age cos out from inside, not very old, wearing cargo pants, stepping in Martin boots, a tight-fitting olive green top, appearing heroic.
She looked at Lu Liang, her face revealing excitent: "Mr. Lu, welco, I never expected you to co, please co inside, have a cup of coffee."
Lu Liang nodded, mories slowly awakening, his lips curling into a smile.
Yang Xiaoxiao, Welfare Girl, White Tiger Girl.
Two years ago, to repay Lu Liang for saving her life, she went to Modu to find him, stayed for a few days, and then left.
