I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 503 - 501: I Don’t Understand Young People’s Love Affairs

Spending 5 billion to purchase this building, even if the equipment inside was given for free, Zhang Menglong had nearly doubled his expenses.

But upon closer reflection, from certain angles, providing them with some subsidies was not entirely unreasonable.

In this city where every inch of land is worth its weight in gold, corporate relocation is indeed a very painful matter, especially for larger companies. If your company moves and it's not too far, that's still manageable. But if it's far? That would definitely lead to a large-scale staff turnover.

Those who live nearby, who could get to work in just a few minutes, suddenly find themselves commuting several kilometers or even tens of kilometers away, with their travel time multiplied several times over.

For single folks, perhaps finding a new place to rent could solve the problem, but what about those with families? Are they supposed to buy another house near the new company location?

Even if they were to rent a different house, what would happen to their original one? Letting it go would mean losing a big chunk of rent, and subletting is a hassle.

The key issue is that their contracts with Flame Soul Network specify the work location as this address. If employees decide to resign because they can't fulfill their labor contract due to the company moving, they could claim compensation.

Some small companies generally specify the city in their contracts, but it's mainly the very large firms that list a specific address, partly because of company stability and also as a symbol of the company's size and scale.

But who the hell knew someone would pay twice the price for their building? They could never predict that, otherwise they definitely wouldn't have written the exact company address in the contract.

As a result, the company would need to prepare a large sum of money to compensate the staff who'd resign, and, at the same time, recruitment efforts and penalties for project delays and such would also be significant expenses. So strictly speaking, they didn't make as much as double the money.

Regardless, it was a surefire profitable deal, the kind that doesn't come around every day. Suddenly having a few extra billion in cash was incredibly helpful for the company's development.

"Immediately look for a new location," Lei Jia started handling the preparation for the new company site.

"Wait, remember to definitely not choose anywhere near any universities or close to our current company," although what happened with Zhang Menglong was unlikely to happen a second time, Lei Jia was genuinely frightened by this experience. Money is good stuff, but it's also troublesome. What if... you know!

Having dealt with the principal of the Music College and the boss of the Flame Soul Network game, what followed was simply a matter of getting approval.

For Zhang Menglong, Mr. Zhou was his best channel.

"Hehehe, Mr. Zhou, have you eaten yet?" Zhang Menglong called Mr. Zhou with a cheeky grin on his face.

"Ah, you little rascal finally thought of me. I thought you were too busy causing me trouble overseas," Mr. Zhou said, puffing his beard and glaring. "Recently, the international community hasn't been too kind in their evaluations of us. Some say that our Huaxia is almost becoming the Zhang family's!"

"Who the hell said that? Don't listen to their bullshit!" Zhang Menglong cursed outright. "If I find out who it is, I'll send a whole bombing squadron over there!"

Mr. Zhou was left speechless, who threatens people like that?

But Zhang Menglong's words confirmed that the sudden appearance of a large cache of arms in the Tambat Kingdom was most likely provided by him. Of course, he knew that Brahma Country, and probably the whole world, was aware of it too, but nobody dared to say it outright.

However, it can't be denied that he was extremely bold in his actions. Push him too far and this kid could do anything. Fortunately, he was a Huaxia national; otherwise, they would be too nervous even to hold their chopsticks steady while eating.

"It's not my fault this time. Someone was trying to take away my property, shouldn't I go all out to protect it? My dad always told me, 'As a child from a poor family, you have to take charge early, and you have to have integrity. Fight not for the steamed buns, but for the principle...'"

"Stop stop stop, you're a child of a poor family?" Mr. Zhou would believe others crying poor, but Zhang Menglong whining about poverty? That's just a load of bull.

"Don't think I don't know that those 300 billion probably don't even catch your eye, right? And that number published on the Forbes list is definitely not your entire asset."

"Who told you that?" Zhang Menglong immediately got unhappy, "If you don't believe me, just look at my bank card and debt support treasure, if it's over 500 bucks, I lose!"

"Oh, come on," Old Zhou teased with a laugh, "I know you rich folks never spend your own money, don't try to bluff me. Talk business, why are you looking for me? I don't believe you've got nothing better to do than to think of this old man."

"Heh heh heh, isn't it because I need your help?"

"You need my help?" Old Zhou was genuinely surprised this time, "What is it that you can't get your hands on?"

"It's about my girlfriend," Zhang Menglong briefly explained the situation, "so I could only think of this method."

Old Zhou on the other end of the phone gaped in surprise, "So without further ado, you just went ahead and bought the company building next to the Jiangnan Music College? I really can't understand the way you young people date!"

"Something like that. It was a last resort. You wouldn't want to just stand by and watch me do long-distance dating, right? That's so exhausting!" Zhang Menglong said with feigned grievance.

"The guy who spends 50 billion to buy a building is crying poor to me?" Old Zhou couldn't help but give a wry smile, "Have you settled things with the president of Jiangnan Music College?"

"All settled," Zhang Menglong said, "The school just needs to knock down a wall and frame the Flame Soul Tower inside. I'll cover all the construction costs, equipment transportation fees, and he has no objections. Now it's all up to your approval."

"You little rascal, you take care of things quite thoroughly. Alright, I've got this one for you," Old Zhou said, "But I have one condition."

"Say it, whether it's climbing a mountain of swords or descending into a sea of flames, I won't even blink an eye!"

"You, just give me less trouble, that's the biggest help you could give me. This time the higher-ups are a bit displeased with you. If it wasn't for me holding them back, you'd be in some serious trouble!"

"Heh heh heh, got it, got it," Zhang Menglong joked, "I'm starting school next week, and from then on, I'll only immerse myself in scientific research, study hard, publish papers, and strive to contribute to the country and society!"

"Don't give me that!"

Although he said so, Old Zhou knew very well that if a conflict really arose, the one who wouldn't be suffering was definitely Zhang Menglong. Not to mention the huge impact his actual assets could have on the economy of the country and even the world, just the power he held in his hands meant nobody dared to touch him.

The combined forces of the entire Longxia and the Ancient Martial Artist Association might not even be able to knock a single hair from one of his bodyguards' heads. This was the level reached when personal martial strength was taken to the extreme.

So in fact, what Old Zhou hoped for more was to maintain a balance in the relationship with Zhang Menglong. For instance, the data he handed over to them last time had been of tremendous help to the country.

In the recent war between the Brahma Country and the Tambat Kingdom, everyone saw the power of the fifth-generation fighter jets. The loss ratio reached almost 1:15, which means, a single fifth-generation fighter jet could almost outfight a dozen fourth-generation jets!

Now many countries are putting their full force into developing fifth-generation fighter jets in an effort to catch up with the developed nations.

But what they don't know is that the fifth-generation fighter jets are already obsolete in Huaxia's eyes.

According to the information and blueprints provided by Zhang Menglong, within a maximum of three months, Huaxia's sixth-generation fighter jets would take the international stage, and they might even debut on National Day, at that moment, catching the world by surprise!

That day, the world will focus on Huaxia!
