After the Divorce, I Could Hear the Voice of the Future-Chapter 81: Finance, Industry, New Energy

When he got off work, Lu Liang received a phone call from Zhao Jisheng, claiming to be from the Securities and Futures Commission's investigation department.

To avoid unnecessary impact, they hoped Lu Liang could find some time to come in for the investigation.

Zhao Jisheng asked, "Mr. Lu, can you see when you might have time to come by?"

After learning the address on Xingzheng Street in Puxin District, which matched the official website's listing, Lu Liang thought for a moment and smiled, "How about tomorrow morning? I'll find some time to come over then."

"Okay, thank you for your time, and I wish you a pleasant life," Zhao Jisheng was very polite.

"So does that mean Li Wu, and that shareholder from Teli A has already backed out?"

Lu Liang appeared thoughtful; the invitation to cooperate with the investigation was on his schedule, which basically meant it had nothing to do with him.

If it had anything to do with him, Zhao Jisheng certainly wouldn't have been so courteous but would have come directly to apprehend someone.

Just like Li Jianlin and Wu Junle.

"Let's go, it's time for dinner after work."

Lu Liang left the office with Su Wanyu, and after wandering around the city, they finally decided to have hot pot.

At night, Lu Liang shamelessly went upstairs, entering as if he was returning to his own home, and directly lying down on Su Wanyu's small bed.

There was a faint scent of jasmine; he remembered, it was the same scent as Su Wanyu's hair.

Su Wanyu stood by the bed, both embarrassed and angry, her face flushed red, "Aren't you going back yet?"

"What's the hurry? It's only a little past nine."

Lu Liang pulled out a blue Haima pillow from under the covers and placed it behind his head, "Besides, I find your bed particularly comfortable."

He then pulled the blanket over himself and, with his eyes closed, said, "I'm sleepy, I want to take a nap. You go take a shower first, and I'll leave after."

"You'll freeze to death!"

Su Wanyu, still displeased, casually turned on the air conditioning to a comfortable temperature.

Having just gotten her bandages removed at the hospital, the medicinal smell seemed to linger; she wanted to take a shower immediately too.

But she was cautious and vigilant, locking the bedroom door that leads to the balcony, so now the bathroom had two doors.

"Are you questioning my integrity?"

Hearing the sound of the locks, Lu Liang opened his eyes.

"Humph~"

Su Wanyu made a face at him, huffed, and then turned to enter the bathroom.

Soon after, the sound of cascading water could be heard.

Lu Liang's mind was restless, realizing staying was only tormenting himself, so he reluctantly went online to browse the news, shifting his focus.

He also planned to see what netizens thought about the Teli A case, mainly to see their views on him.

There were all kinds of comments, but the mainstream view agreed that he was still possibly apprehended and under investigation.

But unlike Li Wu, Lu Liang was somewhat of a celebrity, considering public impact, the news was temporarily suppressed.

A finance influencer on Zhihu eloquently analyzed this viewpoint, which also garnered tens of thousands of upvotes from netizens.

Although many people didn't know who Lu Liang was, the notion of wealthy individuals getting arrested was always a popular spectacle.

More radical netizens commented, "For those rich ones, one should be apprehended after another, absolutely no case of wrongful arrest."

Lu Liang, blending in on various platforms, watched as fun-seekers revelled, curious about what their expression would be upon learning the truth.

Those without fans could still feign ignorance and muddle through, while those with fans might be mocked by netizens to the point of not daring to go online.

"They aren't resentful of wealth, they just despise financial practitioners who gain without laboring, who create no value."

Gradually, Lu Liang saw the essence of the netizens' revelry and also understood why the Securities and Futures Commission's actions were so swift.

Although Zhongxin Fuying managed assets worth 2.8 billion yuan, the company had fewer than 30 people, with only 22 actually contributing to social security.

For the Securities and Futures Commission to arrest him, as long as there's evidence, they don't need to worry about societal impact—people would applaud.

The case with Wu Junle was similar.

The reason they invited Lu Liang to cooperate with the investigation was not because he was a celebrity concerned with social impact, but actually because there was no real evidence.

If there were evidence, they would definitely have arrested him regardless.

If Zhongxin Fuying was a physical enterprise with thousands of employees, directly or indirectly creating tens of thousands of jobs.

The Securities and Futures Commission would first need to pass the administrative gatekeeper of the locality to detain someone; they would not easily allow the Securities and Futures Commission to take the person.

What if the boss were detained, causing the factories to shut down, leaving tens of thousands unemployed and displaced—who would bear that fault?

"Private equity funds can bind interests, but however strong your network might be, it is the strength of others; still, you have to worry about them making drastic decisions."

"Being powerful in one's own right is fundamental, finance is just for show, and industry is the real deal, walking on two legs keeps you steady."

Lu Liang slowly realized, his eyes growing brighter, that neither shared bicycles nor the video industry were his ultimate destination.

The new energy industry, which he had always overlooked, might fulfill his expectations.

At this time, the balcony door was opened.

Su Wanyu timidly poked her head out, dressed in blue cartoon pajamas, her hair wrapped in a towel.

Just out of a hot bath, her skin was so dewy it was translucent, revealing that she rarely wore makeup.

A few strands of hair naturally fell from her forehead, adding a touch of allure, like a freshly emerged lotus, stunning and delicate.

Lu Liang was momentarily dazed. Su Wanyu whispered cautiously, "I'm done washing, you can go back now."

"Let's hug," said Lu Liang with a smile, spreading his arms.

"Just a quick one, okay~" Su Wanyu hesitated slightly, then stepped forward and hugged Lu Liang around his waist.

A burst of fragrance filled Lu Liang's nostrils. The tender frame of the girl felt like hugging a cartoon doll.

He slightly curved his lips upward and did not pursue further, just kissed her forehead, "I'm off."

Even if Su Wanyu hadn't mentioned it, he planned to leave, remembering that Old Meng had spoken about Modu's plans to introduce Tesla.

At the time, it was just idle chat, and Lu Liang didn't take it seriously, but now he wanted to delve deeper.

"Bye~ Be careful on the road."

Su Wanyu watched Lu Liang leave and breathed a sigh of relief, but she felt a bit odd, a mix of relief, touch, and even a bit of loss.

She lay stiffly on the bed, feeling the residual warmth of Lu Liang, her cheeks flushing hot, suddenly rolling with the pillow, "Su Wanyu, what are you thinking about~~~"

Meanwhile, Lu Liang left Hongfa Apartment and called Meng Changkun while sitting in his car.

He learned that today was his health day, undergoing a men's green health treatment at She Mountain Clubhouse.

Lu Liang immediately drove there.

In the deep night of summer, next to the mountain, the bamboo cottage hot springs resonated with the constant chirping of cicadas, like nature's symphony.

Meng Changkun wiped his face, stood up and wrapped himself in a bathrobe, barely able to keep his eyes open, "Brother, take your time, I'm off if I can't handle it."

"Alright, bye."

Lu Liang soaked in the hot spring, looking up at the ceiling, still pondering the conversation they just had.

The new energy vehicle might be one of the future trends.

Meng Changkun had once heard from a leader during a dinner that they planned to bring in Tesla to build a massive factory.

Domestic industry was awash with low-end manufacturing, only earning hard-earned money; the country had been intent on upgrading industries.

Although the cell phone industry was flourishing, it was synonymous with low-cost. But the seeds of hope had sprouted, and someday a domestic flagship as good as Apple would emerge.

However, the scale of the country was too large,

And relying solely on the cell phone manufacturing industry was not enough.

Meng Changkun gave a very vivid example of what a man needs for his "graduation set."

A house, a car, money, a girlfriend.

Without waiting for Lu Liang to respond, he straightforwardly announced the answer.

Today's environment is such that a man needs these four things to truly graduate from the university of society.

The order wasn't arranged arbitrarily but from best to lesser.

For the past decade or more, the country had been actively promoting the development of the automotive industry, but selling ten Wulings still couldn't match the profits from one imported BMW.

Therefore, the country intended to change tracks, hence the recent push to develop new energy.

However, the nature of domestic automakers, as everyone understood, was like leading them nowhere. They were particularly those joint ventures, which only got established through state policies at the time.

But now they each lay complacent, adopting a mindset of 'if it ain't broke, don't fix it,' why bother putting effort into developing the so-called new energies for an uncertain future.

So, they planned to bring in Tesla, the most renowned foreign name, as a catalyst to stir up the domestic competition.

However, Meng Changkun was not optimistic about new energy, although it was bound to become significant eventually, it might take too long, and they might just die waiting.

New energy sounds nice; it's just electric cars.

And electric cars are just like child's play, not much different from tricycles and bicycles; it's hard to change this fixed perception.

Even though they knew the country was pushing the development of the new energy industry, offering many incentives, large enterprises were still on the sidelines.

The operations of these enterprises were predicated on stability, and with their massive financial resources, even if they entered the market late after it was established, they could still grab a slice of the ecological niche.

One couldn't say they were wrong,

Only that foreign companies did indeed possess more pioneering capabilities.
