"Am I that kind of person?"
Lu Liang looked displeased. He had a broad vision; even if there were surprises, it was to test the organizers on-the-spot ability.
Every annual eting, Tang Caide perford so well. You, Hu Weiwei, have no reason to be worse, right?
"..."
Hu Weiwei was montarily speechless, forced a smile and said, "Mr. Lu, its almost ti. You should touch up your makeup."
Having said this, what more could she say? She couldnt possibly admit shes not as good as Tang Caide.
Although with the successive joining of Golden Sand River, DiDi, Redwood JD Gaoling,
Her 5% stock options had been cut over and over again, but the value kept increasing.
After the last round of financing with a $9 billion valuation, the current valuation reached $11 billion.
Hu Weiwei held 3.06% stock options, which were now worth more than 2.3 billion RMB.
Although they are stock options, if not listed and not paying dividends, they dont worth a penny.
But its not without value, just that the ti to realize the value hasnt co yet.
...
At three oclock sharp, the thousand-seat venue suddenly plunged into darkness.
Tianxing Automobiles official Douyin account also started a live broadcast simultaneously, attracting a large number of netizens.
Accompanied by Rhapsody of Croatia, a cold gleam flashed on the screen on stage, cutting through the darkness and turning into a four-pointed star.
Suddenly, six large characters appeared faintly on the screen, becoming clearer from far to near: "Northern Dipper Seven StarsTianshu."
"Northern Dipper Seven Stars, that must be a big series."
"Tianshu should be the na of this car, aning the worlds axis, symbolizing the center of the world."
"In ancient tis, Tianshu Star was also called Tanlang Star. In Yi Studies, Tanlang is the star of wisdom and fortune, symbolizing strong governance, but Taoism believes that Tanlang Star Lord descends to enlighten people, symbolizing hope and peace."
"Not bad quality, dostic new energy cars should have nas like this."
Three hundred lucky ones were still staring blankly at the stage, amazed by the naked-eye 3D technology, and professional car reviewers began taking notes.
Several people sitting next to each other in the front row exchanged glances, all giving high praise to the Northern Dipper Seven Stars series and the na Tianshu for the car.
Why does the nation spare no effort to develop new energy? Is it not for industrial upgrading and launching an assault on high-end manufacturing?
If a little money can be earned in the anti, and a bit of face is gained, and so culture is propagated, it is undoubtedly excellent.
Our countrys 5000 years of history has so many romantic and aningful nas, yet they are overlooked one by one.
Except for BYDs Dynasty Series, new energy forces new cars are either called NOE, or ES8, G3, etc.
Not incorporating the culture unique to our country always feels like its missing sothing.
The Northern Dipper Seven Stars series and the na Tianshu of TianxingTianshu are excellent, sounding like a dostic car upon hearing it.
While spreading traditional culture, theres no need to get an English na either; it can be called Dubhe directly.
Because many years ago, the stars of the Northern Dipper were included in the Oxford Dictionary, creating unique words for them, such as Tianshu being called Dubhe, Tianxuan being called rak, and Tianji called Phecda.
If not called by their Chinese nas, their English nas are also catchy, giving an impression of high-end even to those who do not understand English.
Its like Teslas Model series; if it were called Model Series, its class would drop instantly, not to ntion calling it Edama.
In contrast, TianxingTianshu (Dubhe),
At worst, can be called Tanlang, advancing and retreating deftly.
If car nas were graded, this na would surely score over 90 points.
People began to look forward to the main course that followed.
At this mont, footsteps approached from all directions.
Lu Liang, dressed in a light blue suit, smiling, walked calmly onto the stage.
As the stage lights brightened, three cars covered with black cloth suddenly appeared on the left, center, and right.
"Friends, good afternoon, Im Lu Liang, delighted to et you all today."
Lu Liang faced the audience and bowed deeply: "Thank you all for attending our launch event."
He glanced again at the first row below the stage and couldnt help but smile: "Also, thanks to all the friends and competitors for coming."
The four dragons of Weiliao gathered, BYD Wang, Ningde Old Zeng, and Lei Jun, who just announced car manufacturing.
And many friends from the investnt world too, like Redwood Shen Peng, Golden Sand River Zhu Hu, Gao Ling Zhang Lei.
Several competitors twitched the corners of their eyes, looked at each other, and simultaneously turned their gaze toward Lei Jun.
The word is actually a good word, but ever since the phrase Friends are idiots, its beco ambiguous.
Lei Jun smiled, looking unchanged,
The words were his, no doubt, but they were taken out of context.
At that ti, every ten days or half a month, a competitor would hold a new product launch event, turning the smartphone industry into the entertainnt industry; every launch event had a common the: those five golden words: Friends are idiots, Xiaomi included, going crazy with the industry.
As a result, a long sentence was shortened to five words and widely spread on the internet.
Lei Jun felt helpless, but he could only bear this black pot, as they were spoken in a joking tone, speaking from the heart.
"We know everyone has been waiting for this day for a long ti, so we wont keep you in suspense any longer."
Lu Liang smiled as he walked along the inner side of the stage, uncovering the black cloth on three cars, one after the other.
Pearl white, lava gray, diamond blackthree cars in three colors, displayed from various angles.
Hu Weiwei widened her eyes, standing at the side of the stage, her fingertips nearly pounding through her watch face, yet Lu Liang paid no mind.
"Mr. Hu, did anything go wrong?"
At this mont, Tang Caide accompanied by Chen Jinchun, walked into the backstage to Hu Weiweis side.
"Three minutes ahead of schedule for the unveiling of the new cars." Hu Weiwei looked distressed, like she had swallowed a bitter gourd.
In the normal process, Lu Liang should first recall the past and talk about his entrepreneurial journey over the years, then look forward to the future.
Instead, he skipped this step and proceeded to unveil the new cars after a brief greeting, causing the event ti to be drastically reduced.
Xiao Chen, smiling with squinted eyes and hands on his hips, gloated: "Tang, you lost. I told you it would be ahead of schedule."
The two of them had clearly bet on whether Lu Liang would advance or delay the ti.
Tang Caide chuckled: "It seems Mr. Lu couldnt wait, the friends in the front row werent able to capture his attention."
She thought Lu Liang would delay the event ti considering there were many of his friends in the front row, and it was inevitable he would chat with them.
Yet she underestimated Lu Liangs eagerness; perhaps these months, not just Lu Liang, but many were keeping the market in suspense, and he was tortured as well.
That feeling must be like having a treasure but being unable to showcase it, having wealth but only walking in it at midnight.
"Mr. Tang, please instruct us." Hu Weiwei showed a worried expression. How should we fill the three-and-a-half-minute gap later?
"I wouldnt dare instruct; lets continue watching. Now its ahead of schedule, so perhaps it will be delayed later."
Tang Caide laughed lightly; she couldnt be sure. In previous annual etings, she always responded to situations, eventually achieving an incomplete completeness. Besides, advancing ti is always better than delaying it.
If all else fails, Hu Weiwei can take the stage and chat for a bit longer to fill the ti.
"I guess thats the only option."
Hu Weiwei sighed, looking at the audience seats. The mont the new car design was unveiled, unsurprisingly, it caused a sensation.
Because the front resembled the Maserati President greatly, yet the body had flowing lines reminiscent of Porsches Panara.
The feeling was like a handso father and a beautiful mother having a baby that combined the advantages of both.
Porsches frog-like front has been criticized, but using the Presidents front face feels comfortable.
If the raised sides of the Porsche front resemble a flat w, then the Presidents front face resembles a flattened m.
Combined with teardrop-shaped headlights, traversing taillights, and automatic lifting rear wings...
If you dont hold a bias against imitation, its indeed a very beautiful car.
"Oh my god, its exactly what I dread of."
"A grown-up car, nationwide, wholl buy it for , and Ill be there within a year whenever you call."
"Gold-plated edges? It costs three to four hundred thousand a year?"
"Presidents front, Panaras body, R8s rear wing, clearly a hodgepodge."
"Mark my words, this car will definitely flop. If not, Ill eat three pounds."
"With this kind of imitation, wont anyone sue him?"
"Do you think Liangzis legal departnt is just idling? If hes brave enough to imitate, he surely avoids design patents."
"Moreover, although it resembles the President, Panara, and R8, a closer examination reveals a similarity of less than 60%."
The mont the design of Sky StarTianshu was unveiled, many car evaluators watching the live new car broadcast.
Imdiately compared the designs of President, Panara, and R8 side-by-side.
A certain host couldnt help but laugh, sighing: "This is probably the best definition of borrowing and paying tribute."
Because when you pick one part separately, the similarity reaches 58%, but combined, the similarity is less than 40%.
You can say it resembles them but, you cant say its copying them.
"Standard version has a 685-kiloter range, which weve known a long ti, but why not announce the price yet?"
"Liangzi has nothing better to do, showcasing the battery underneath with a 485-kilogram load, worth ntioning?"
"Nine colors, five interior options, all he knows is to create flashy things."
"But surprisingly, theres a desktop-grade chip, with computing power at least ten tis that of the 8155."
"Wow, the full version of Tianxing OS finally appears, combining visual and radar technology, achieving a semi-L3 level."
"I have to say, Liangzi has a great vision, this system interface is as simple and efficient as Teslas."
"I dont understand why Old Luo didnt think to develop Hamr into a car system but instead sold it directly?"
"Old Luo: Tonight at eight, dont miss my live broadcast. Welco to listen to my song of blood and tears~"
Tianxing Automobiles live broadcast had few viewers as netizens flocked to the evaluating bloggers live streams.
After all, Lu Liang interacted with the audience onsite, not with them; just watching blandly, its better to go to the hosts livestream where at least comnts get responses.
Moreover, car evaluation hosts have skills and can always help with so unknown trivia.
However, from the footage, the atmosphere at the scene seed great, even if the price hadnt been officially announced yet.
