Lu Ming saw that there was something wrong with his expression and thought that he was afraid. He thought to himself, Is he afraid? There are really too few capable and bold people. But it makes sense. These people are not stupid. And I am only the boss of a few companies.
He sighed lightly. He had helped the other party by giving him money. Perhaps in the future, he might be able to obtain He Xiaopeng’s help. That was enough for him.
“Twill pay you…”
“T’ve decided! I’ll follow you from now on! I’ll follow wherever you go. You’re my boss!”
‘When He Xiaopeng said this, his eyes shone with a dazzling light. His tone was so resolute that one instinctively knew that he was telling the truth.
In fact, he was.
‘The unexpected answer puzzled Lu Ming. “Aren’t you… afraid?”
“Tm afraid! But compared to being afraid, the excitement of being able to defeat the Tang family has taken over! I think that since I want to make a career out of it, I might as well make a big deal out of it! The goal to defeat the Tang family is not bad! Boss, I’m willing to bet everything I have on you! I
believe in you!”
Lu Ming had trusted him unconditionally.
So he would trust Lu Ming a hundred times, a thousand times more!
He Xiaopeng said passionately again, “My project won’t be called Little Peng Smart Cars anymore. Let’s call it Deer Cry Smart Cars! Just as the poem goes, Yo, yo, the deer cries, eating the wild flowers. I have guests, drums, and trumpets!”
It was just a name. It could not be compared to the friend he had just found!
Thave really picked up a treasure this time, Lu Ming thought.
He patted He Xiaopeng’s shoulder and said, “What I want is a talent like you! Thank you for believing in me. I will not disappoint you.”
With the system in hand, the Tang family was nothing.
So he had let nature take its course and picked up a capable subordinate just like that. What he needed to do next was to develop new energy cars on the newly purchased land!
One day, Lu Ming stood on a tall building and looked down. He turned to the bespectacled man beside him and asked, “Where did Little He go? I don’t think I saw him recently. Could he have gone to scout talents again?”
He thought that Little Peng was only talented in car development. He did not expect that in just a few days, the people He Xiaopeng recruited gradually formed a team. They were all from famous car companies, large parts companies, and famous Internet companies!
He was very surprised by this. This person had so many connections.
‘Then he found out that He Xiaopeng’s previous workplaces were all well-known companies, such as UC and Alibaba.
So there was a reason why He Xiaopeng knew so many people in the industry.
A bespectacled man named He Tao was the first to be recruited. He graduated with a master’s degree in automobile engineering from Tsinghua University. He was a straight-A student.
“Lhave a junior who’s quite capable and suitable to be recruited for research, so I woke up early today and connected with him. I think it won’t be long before I successfully convince this junior to come here.”
After spending a few days together, they realized that He Xiaopeng was quite articulate. He could easily lead people into a trap. By the time they came to their senses, it was already too late—they had fallen into his trap!
Lu Ming sighed. How amazing!
Lu Yaohua actually scolded someone who is an all-rounder?
Every time he thought of this, he would laugh out loud.
This is so interesting! he thought.
He Tao nodded in agreement and said, “Currently, our team has gathered many outstanding talents. We’ve basically settled the downstream industry chain. All that’s left is to start researching prototypes. When this junior joins us, we can officially start work with a few who are still in the midst of
consideration.”
It was almost time.
Lu Ming knocked on the railing rhythmically and said, “Just tell me if the funds are insufficient. What I don’t lack is money.”
“Sure.”
‘The boss was so generous that even the experienced and knowledgeable He Tao was a little stunned. Initially, he thought that it was Lu Ming’s honor to be able to meet He Xiaopeng. But now, it seemed that the two of them complemented each other.
‘The talent happened to bump into the discerning talent scout.
Everything was perfect. They were really going to accomplish something big this time!
It would be difficult to imagine that they could not do it.
Unsurprisingly, He Tao’s juniors and a few people who were considering the matter decided to join the project and the research began smoothly.
In the early stages, they did not meet with any big trouble. It was not until He Xiaopeng reached a technical bottleneck that he walked around in frustration in the hallway and muttered, “What should we do? What should we do? We have to think of a solution quickly.”
Although his background was the Internet and electric cars were very well-developed, compared to traditional car companies like BBA, there were technological difficulties that he could not resolve.
How could he integrate his new concepts with the traditional classic mold?
This was a problem that no smart car company could solve!
What he needed to do was to constantly innovate and break through!
“Te found some information for you. You can take a look.”
When Lu Ming heard that there was a problem here, he specially used his connections to track down hidden information. He hoped that it could help the development of their car.
Meanwhile, in the United States, Tesla headquarters.
In the top-floor office, a brown-haired man in a gray shirt was happily taking stock of his earnings on Dogecoin. He was humming out of tune and muttering from time to time, “Very good, another million USD.”
He was the man who manipulated Dogecoin behind the scenes—Elon Musk!
On top of having citizenship of three countries, he had been Times’ Person of the Year several times. The company under his name was one of the top 500 companies in the world and countless celebrities fawned on him. Now he had another nickname—one of the top three richest men in the world.
As for the rise and fall of Dogecoin, it was all part of his plan. After all, he had planned to make a killing from the moment he joined the game.
Nowadays, netizens said that he was cold-blooded and heartless, but he did not deny it. No matter what, he was a businessman. Businessmen had always valued profits and that was normal.
He suddenly paused, his gaze fixed on a certain spot.
He thought that he would be the only victor, but he did not expect that someone would earn as much as he did!
Now, through this series of ups and downs, this person had become one of the top 10 Dogecoin investors in the world. His ability naturally could not be underestimated!
Could this be the work of an old acquaintance?
But when he saw that the IP address was in China, he fell silent for a long time.
Since when did such a powerful person emerge in the East? he wondered.
Is there going to be a change?
Which big shot is this?
