I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 610 - 608: Is it that aka100,000 Volts?
"Zhang, our games' recent development trend is very good. Just in Huaxia alone, the total turnover of our 14 games has surpassed ten billion, and if we add the turnover from our global agents, multiplying it several times over wouldn't be impossible,"
"Yes, Zhang, now even some small countries want to become agents for our games. Even if a mosquito is small, it's still meat. I think we shouldn't limit our agency areas so strictly,"
In the span of two months, the 14 games developed by Zhang Menglong had nearly dominated the global market. The large gaming companies had either gone bankrupt or become their agents.
As the company distributing the games, Wangyi and Tengxun had made a killing, and of course, as the big boss behind the scenes, Zhang Menglong's assets had exploded once more. He was earning money from the entire world, and besides paying taxes, half the income was his, and he didn't even have to pay employee salaries. This revenue was truly terrifying.
"Leave these affairs to you guys to worry about, I just care about collecting money,"
"Great! We definitely won't let you down!" With Zhang Menglong's tacit approval, Ding Sanshi and Ma Hua were overjoyed. It was clear that Zhang Menglong had undertaken this venture merely to punish Michel from Thunder Network.
Michel had become a thorn in the side of the entire Americas, and the country had even restricted his departure. It was impossible for him to flee abroad and make a living.
Due to tax evasion, he had lost almost all of his property, and in reality, he was to face decades of imprisonment, but the new chairman of Thunder Network had managed to fish him out of jail through connections.
Of course, not to save him, as he could at least get free food and drink in prison.
But back in society, he needed to worry about his daily meals and living costs, and after searching for more than a month, he found no job. He later discovered he had been blacklisted and could not sign a labor contract with any legitimate company.
But he had no choice, he had to make money, so he worked alongside those laborers he had once looked down upon, and it was in the factory owned by the Huaxia man he hated the most, named Zhang Menglong, doing the most menial physical labor.
At that moment, he realized how ridiculous his previous actions had been, only now it was far too late.
...
"Menglong, are you ready?"
"All set," Zhang Menglong hurried out of the dressing room, pulling up his pants as he went.
Today was Lu Yiyao's birthday. Zhang Menglong had originally wanted to go all out, like organizing a birthday concert exclusive to Lu Yiyao, where he could invite musicians and stars from around the world to celebrate with her.
However, Lu Yiyao had refused, as for her, celebrating her birthday with her loved one and friends was the simplest joy.
"You can't cause any trouble today. I haven't seen Xi Xi and the others for a long time, and we must catch up properly today!"
"Hey, do you see me as the kind of person who causes trouble?" Zhang Menglong said aggrieved, "As long as no one troubles me, I definitely won't go looking for trouble!"
"That's more like it!" Lu Yiyao hooked onto Zhang Menglong's arm, and the two of them walked outside together.
The birthday party was arranged at the St. Field Hotel, the most top-tier hotel among the properties owned by Zhang Menglong. In this hotel, just an ordinary room cost tens of thousands for one night, and you couldn't have a meal for less than a hundred thousand yuan.
Of course, the service and food here were absolutely first-class.
Zhang Menglong parked the car right by the hotel entrance, casually tossing the keys to the receptionist outside.
The Koenigsegg keys, the receptionist didn't even dare to park the car for a while; of course, if he knew that this young man was the hotel owner, he would probably be even more flustered.
But to keep a low profile, Zhang Menglong had Hong Yi book a private room for him without telling the hotel staff he would be coming.
"Xi Xi!" Lu Yiyao waved at a girl in the hotel lobby.
"Yi Yi!" the girl ran over with a smile.
"Guo Yuqian, you know her, you met her when we met for the first time," Lu Yiyao introduced.
"Yuqian, there's no need for introductions with him, right?"
"Hahaha, who doesn't know Boss Zhang," Guo Yuqian laughed, "and thanks to Boss Zhang's gift when we first met, we now have the financial strength to pursue our dreams."

After getting together with Lu Yiyao, Zhang Menglong had not only treated her roommates to a meal, but he also gave each of them an apartment, a car, and some expensive jewelry.
Securing a foothold in Jiangnan City was an incredibly difficult task as buying property there was a huge challenge. At times, sacrificing one's dreams for it wasn't considered out of the ordinary.
But with these gifts, they almost no longer had any burden of survival, which meant they could freely chase their dreams. Lu Yiyao's three roommates, including Guo Yuqian, who had become a somewhat famous musician, and Zhan Bingning and Sun Ruowen, who had both entered the entertainment industry as budding actresses, all owed their fortunes to Zhang Menglong's generosity.
"Today we definitely need to treat you to an expensive meal. Boss Zhang wouldn't mind, would he?" Guo Yuqian was as straightforward as ever.
"Hahahaha, why would I mind? I own the whole hotel; no matter how much you eat, you could never eat me out of house and home."
"This is your hotel?" Though Guo Yuqian knew Zhang Menglong was outrageously wealthy, the luxury of the hotel still left her a bit flabbergasted.
"I think next time you find out which hotel isn't mine, then you can show me that surprised look," Zhang Menglong joked.
"Yiyao, isn't living with someone like this very painful?" Guo Yuqian pulled Lu Yiyao aside, "Being shown up at Versailles every day! Ordinary people couldn't stand it."
"I've gotten used to it already, and let me tell you, last time..."
Women always have endless things to talk about when they meet. Watching the two women start chattering away, Zhang Menglong was too lazy to get involved.
"Strange, why haven't Bingbing and Ruoruo arrived yet? They are always the most punctual at any dinner party," said Lu Yiyao as she glanced at the time. They had agreed to meet at six in the evening, but it was almost half-past six now.
"I'll make a call and ask," Guo Yuqian promptly took out her phone. She couldn't get through to Chen Bingning, but Sun Ruowen did answer her call.
"Aren't you guys coming over? We've been waiting for ages!"
"What? You can't get in touch with Bingbing?" Guo Yuqian's face changed at once, "Why didn't you say so sooner? We'll come over right away!"
"What happened?" Zhang Menglong had a feeling something was amiss.
"This afternoon, Bingbing had a screen test for the leading role in Zhang Bufan's new movie. She planned to come together with Ruoruo after the test, but when it was time to meet, there was still no word from Bingbing."
"Zhang Bufan? The one known as aka hundred thousand volts, the Huaxia powerhouse, the human Pikachu?" Zhang Menglong quipped, "He acts too?"
"Stop joking!" Lu Yiyao slapped Zhang Menglong, "Even if it was just a screen test, it should've been over by this late. I hope nothing's gone wrong."
"With that kind of production team, there shouldn't be any problems. However, the screen test location is close by; Zhang Bufan's studio is in the vicinity, and Ruoruo is waiting for them just downstairs from the company."
"You can never be too sure, I've heard that Zhang Bufan isn't exactly the most upright person. But nothing too outrageous should happen inside the company building. I'll accompany you to check it out."
"Waiter, prepare a car for me!" Zhang Menglong called out to a nearby waiter nonchalantly.
"I'm sorry, sir, we don't provide that service here!"
"Others might not, but I must have it." Zhang Menglong handed over a gold-plated card, causing the waiter's expression to turn tense.
"Mr... Mr. Zhang, I'll get it ready right away!"
