I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 331 - 329: If You’re Not Convinced, Come and Kill Me

"Socialist Home?" Hearing these words, Mobai and Yajize Tian immediately exchanged glances.

Coming from a socialist country and baring enmity with them, who else could it be besides Zhang Menglong?

In that instant, they all understood! Zhang Menglong was truly here to target Qualcomm Electronics this time!

Were it not for the official US backing, Zhang Menglong’s net worth alone would suffice to buy out Qualcomm Electronics completely, but since he couldn’t purchase it, he could sabotage it. As long as the employees went on strike, how could their company continue to operate normally?

Just now, Berlainas had said the strike would continue until the company compromised with them or it would go on indefinitely.

With Zhang Menglong’s financial resources, even supporting these employees for a lifetime would be a piece of cake. With his financial backing, the strike would never stop!

Not having to work and yet receiving double the salary was such a huge benefit—how could the employees possibly give it up? They would be delighting in the company’s stalemate with them for years, better yet, a lifetime!

"This Huaxia man’s tactics are really vicious!" Infelite, who once shared ownership in Silicon Moonlight, lamented.

After being ousted from the board by Zhang Menglong, Infelite had joined forces with the president of Silicon Moonlight’s union, hoping to force him into agreeing to their conditions through a strike.

But Infelite completely failed to anticipate that Zhang Menglong simply did not fear losses, and straightaway fired those causing trouble, paying out whatever was owed, even willing to spend money to support idlers when the company wasn’t bringing in any revenue.

But that’s just how rich and capricious he was; Infelite could only slink back to America dejectedly.

Several months had passed, and just when he was about to forget such an incident had ever taken place, the same situation was unfolding at Qualcomm Electronics. The playbook was exactly the same as before.

What was different was that Zhang Menglong wasn’t afraid of losses, but they were!

"What benefits did Zhang Menglong offer you to instigate the workers into striking?" Infelite demanded.

"Mr. Infelite, that is slander against me!" Berlainas replied, "I’ve made it very clear, this is the collective decision of all our employees. I do not know the gentleman supporting us. I only know that he calls himself a ’successor of socialism.’ Whether he is the Zhang Menglong you speak of, I really have no idea."

"What successor of socialism!" Infelite clenched his fists. Those who called themselves "successor of socialism"—if that person wasn’t Zhang Menglong, he would directly swallow up Qualcomm Electronics!

But Berlainas didn’t admit to it, and they had no recourse; the threshold for defamation was very low in this country. If he couldn’t produce evidence, then Berlainas could just as well send him a lawyer’s letter of warning!

"Alright, we’ve made our demands clear. If the company doesn’t meet our terms, starting this afternoon, we begin our strike. The board members can continue their meeting," he said.

Having said that, Berlainas swaggered out of the meeting room.

...

The boardroom fell silent; after such a disruption by Berlainas, who still had the heart to carry on with this board meeting?

They had just secured orders from several Asian countries, now just waiting to produce the Crystal Chips for delivery and make money. With 7000 employees now opting to strike, their workshops were left with no one; how could they produce any Crystal Chips?

They also had a critically important order recently, a government procurement that was due at the end of the month. Plus, 80% of the work was already completed. Under normal circumstances, there was more than enough time within a month, but now, production for this order was forced to halt.

When the time came, what could they use to explain themselves to the acquirer? Enjoy exclusive chapters from novelbuddy

"Zhang Menglong, that bastard Zhang Menglong!" Infelite took out his phone. As a former shareholder of Silicon Moonlight, he had Zhang Menglong’s contact in his phone.

"Zhang Menglong, what on earth are you up to?" Infelite roared into the phone.

"Who are you?"

"I am Infelite!"

"Oh, Mr. Infelite, what can I do for you?" Zhang Menglong asked nonchalantly, "Did you hear about my trip to America and want to treat me to a meal?"

"I’m not treating you to anything!" Infelite wished he could literally devour Zhang Menglong.

"Then what do you want with me? I’m taking a dump and still have to scroll through TikTok, quite busy here!" said Zhang Menglong.

"It’s always taking a dump with you!" Infelite’s face turned red with fury. The last time he had someone look for Zhang Menglong to negotiate, he hadn’t even seen Zhang Menglong’s face because the excuse given was that he was busy taking a dump.

"Zhang Menglong, let’s not beat around the bush. What do you really want?" Infelite asked accusingly, "It was you who instigated the employee strike, wasn’t it?"

"Mr. Infelite, let’s not make the conversation so unpleasant, okay? Don’t just slop every dirty accusation onto me!" Zhang Menglong replied calmly, "Otherwise, be careful I might sue you for defamation!"

"I only went out for drinks last night because I had nothing else to do, and as it happened, I got along famously with Mr. Bernalius and heard about their plight. Out of compassion, I decided to help them," Zhang Menglong added, "You know me, helping friends is what I love most!"

"You’re full of shit!" Infelite cursed angrily.

Did the world’s richest man travel thousands of miles to America just for tourism? Is it just a coincidence that he happened to come to Silicon Valley and just accidentally ran into Bernalius and got along with him like a house on fire?

No one would believe such a story.

But with Zhang Menglong denying everything, what could Infelite do?

"I am saying, you at Qualcomm Electronics, with such a big company, can’t even pay a bit of salary; I’m embarrassed for you!"

"Zhang Menglong, those company employees’ inexplicable raises, you’re involved in that too, aren’t you?" Infelite suddenly got much smarter. The salaries those companies were offering were clearly more than they could afford. Where would they get so much money? It had to be Zhang Menglong supplying it!

"That’s right, I gave those more than five hundred companies a total of 20 billion US Dollars, but you have no proof!" Zhang Menglong said in an irritating tone.

"What good does it do you to spend billions of US Dollars on something like this?" Infelite asked.

"It doesn’t get me any good!" Zhang Menglong said blandly, "Just a few billion US Dollars, I don’t care about that money, but if it makes you unhappy, then it’s money well spent to me!"

"Aren’t you afraid that I’ll sue you for destroying the market?"

"Go ahead!" Zhang Menglong laughed, "I have never heard of a rule that says you can’t pay employees a high salary. I have only heard about minimum wage standards, but there’s no maximum wage limit. You are too poor to pay, and you don’t allow others to do so?"

Infelite’s teeth were grinding so loudly, and his breathing became much heavier, indicating just how furious he was.

"Zhang Menglong, you are courting death! Don’t forget, this is America, not Huaxia!" Infelite’s extreme anger almost made him lose his reason.

"Oh, I’m so scared! If you can’t stand it, come and kill me!" Zhang Menglong replied mockingly, "Oh, by the way, I have started recording this call, and every word you just said will serve as evidence in court!"

"You... you..." Infelite, already not a young man, felt his blood pressure skyrocket after hearing this, and he actually collapsed straight away.

"Mr. Infelite! Mr. Infelite!"

"Call an ambulance, quick!"
