I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property
Chapter 334 - 332 I Can't Stand Being Wronged by Others

As the leader in the communications industry, Qualcomm Electronics' large-scale strike immediately caught the attention of the entire world.

Through media photos and videos, workers were seen enjoying their time at home during happy times and when they were discontent, they would group together, waving flags and wielding megaphones, wandering around the factory.

Normally, workers living in the factory toiled in front of machines, but now, in protest of the company's refusal to raise wages, they even started to "happy" up in the factory with poker and beer, transforming the once bustling and dignified company into one that had lost its usual atmosphere.

At the beginning of this year, just as the economy showed some signs of recovery, many businesses placed massive orders for chips from Qualcomm Electronics, with quantities even doubling from the previous year, involving orders amounting to tens of billions of US dollars!

But upon hearing this news, corporations were immediately restless. With 7,000 workers on strike and the factory desolate, what would happen to their orders?

In a matter of days, Qualcomm Electronics' executive offices were bustling with customers pressing for their orders, some seeking to cancel contracts, others demanding compensation, scaring the shareholders from making appearances for several days.

If not for Qualcomm Electronics having some state-backed assets, the attitudes of those business partners would probably have become even more irate!

What was surprising was that other businesses in Silicon Valley town were still thriving, with several even expanding production and aggressively purchasing raw materials, as workers, now receiving double wages, worked with exceptional vigor.

With Qualcomm Electronics in such a state, how could these companies that were supposed to rely on Qualcomm Electronics to survive show no panic? This puzzled the reporters.

The news quickly spread to Huaxia, and regarding the dire situation of Qualcomm Electronics, aside from those who had bought stock in the company, no one expressed sympathy.

It was Qualcomm Electronics that initiated the chip sanctions against Huaxia!

How could the netizens of Huaxia pass up the opportunity to kick someone when they're down?

"Weren't you all so arrogant? Didn't you want to block our country's chip industry? Now you can't even afford to pay salaries?"

"That union president named Berlina is really amusing, even bringing up 'poetry and distant lands.' I suspect there's a Huaxia person behind him writing his speeches!"

"Complaining about starving if they don't get a raise? Isn't that a bit too Versailles? Their average wage levels are almost the equivalent of 30,000 Huaxia currency!"

"I always feel like someone's pulling the strings behind the scenes. If he's not being directed, I'll live stream myself eating five tons of shit!"

"The guy above is scamming for free drinks again, but I'll take that bet—I wager ten tons!"

"I suddenly have a bold thought. Didn't Boss Zhang just go to America a few days ago? You guys think..."

"Holy shit! The more I think about it, the more frightening it seems. Don't forget, President Zhang of Silicon Moonlight has some beef with a few shareholders of Qualcomm Electronics. Initially, a shareholder from Qualcomm Electronics wanted Silicon Moonlight to continue doing chip packaging and testing, then sell to other countries, forbidding sales to the Huaxia continent, and he was directly kicked out by President Zhang."

"Hi everyone, I'm a member of the Silicon Moonlight union. That shareholder is called Infelite. He even once bribed our union President to strike as a threat to President Zhang, who then fired him!"

...

Zhang Menglong's visit to America was already a very sensitive matter. Many eyes were watching him, and some even learned that he had recently appeared in Colorado State, where Qualcomm Electronics is located in a place called Silicon Valley town!

Connecting all the dots, netizens were almost certain that Zhang Menglong must be behind this strike!

"@ZhangMenglong, President Zhang, tell me honestly, did you do this? I suspect you're the one paying the staff of the companies around Qualcomm Electronics to increase their salaries."

"Be more confident in the comment above, remove the words 'I suspect'"

"This is absolutely insane!"

"President Zhang, quickly tell us how you did it, I promise I won't tell anyone!"

"What are you all talking about? I, Zhang Menglong, am a decent person, how could I possibly do such a thing? (joking)" Zhang Menglong immediately responded to the netizens' questions on Weibo.

Afterward, Zhang Menglong even posted a few photos, "I came to America for tourism, this is the evidence!"

When netizens opened the photos Zhang Menglong posted, they were laughing so hard they flipped over.

"Hahaha, President Zhang, if you're going to use stock photos at least remove the watermark, my friend circle has at least 5 people using this picture as a background!"

"Seeing President Zhang post a joking emoji I knew it, nobody is cheekier than President Zhang."

...

Foreign media have to say, their sense of smell is really not bad, and soon someone publicly extended an interview invitation to Zhang Menglong online.

After all, it was not something to be proud of, so many people thought Zhang Menglong would keep silent, but unexpectedly, he gladly accepted the interview!

A large number of media turned up for the event, all preparing various questions, eagerly awaiting Zhang Menglong's arrival.

The moment Zhang Menglong appeared, the whole venue instantly boiled over.

"Please everyone quiet down!" Zhang Menglong somehow brought a megaphone from nowhere, making the scene almost comedically laughable, with the richest man in the world looking like a street vendor hawking wares.

After a burst of laughter, the media journalists also stopped the noise, waiting to hear what Zhang Menglong had to say.

"I called this press conference mainly to clarify the recent events," Zhang Menglong said word by word, "There have been rumors recently that the strike fund for Qualcomm Electronics was provided by me, and I am here to clarify that this is no rumor!"

"Wow!" As soon as he finished speaking, there was a wave of astonishment from the media on site; Zhang Menglong actually admitted to it at such a public event.

"Mr. Zhang, why did you do this? Is it really as the executives of Qualcomm Electronics said, that you did this in retaliation for Qualcomm Electronics' chip blockade against Huaxia?"

"No no no, I don't even care about their lousy chips, I wouldn't want them even if they were given to me for free," Zhang Menglong said, "I did this to uphold the light of justice."

"One evening I was bored and drinking in a bar when I suddenly overheard Mr. Berlanas and friends discussing salaries. I was outraged on the spot, is this how Qualcomm Electronics treats people? Toiling for you, and yet you pay them less than the other workers around?"

"They wanted to uphold their rights but feared they would lose their livelihoods if they went on strike. I thought to myself, with great power comes great responsibility, I can't just watch such unfairness happen around me, I must do something! So, I generously donated to support the Qualcomm Electronics workers in this righteous battle!"

"He's talking nonsense!" Watching the live interview, Mobai and others immediately felt infuriated; Zhang Menglong was twisting the truth with eloquence, blatantly seeking revenge yet portraying himself as a defender of justice.

"Mr. Zhang, in America, countless injustices occur, and you only supported the strike of Qualcomm Electronics workers, your words are hardly convincing!"

"That's a great question!" Faced with such a sharp critique, Zhang Menglong wasn't the least bit flustered, "Let me tell you, I, Zhang Menglong, am a person who takes things to heart. The thing I can't stand the most is being wrongly accused. Are you saying I am targeting Qualcomm Electronics?"

"Fine then! Starting now, I decide I will continue to provide strike funds for Qualcomm Electronics workers until the workers voluntarily end the strike or those who slander me apologize to me!"
