I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property
Chapter 335 - 333 Worker's Fund Foundation

"Mr. Zhang, are you officially declaring war on Qualcomm Electronics?" a reporter asked sharply.

"Declare war?" Zhang Menglong scoffed coldly, "Are they even worthy? They're just a company with a market cap of several tens of billions of US dollars; I don't even consider them worth my attention!"

"However, your words just now irritated me, I originally only felt pity for those workers and wanted to help them out, but since you think I'm declaring war, then I'll just satisfy you!"

After hearing Zhang Menglong's response, all the reporters' faces suddenly changed; they could tell that Zhang Menglong was ingeniously shifting the blame back onto them!

Zhang Menglong's statements were highly provocative. Even a cornered dog will bite, and who doesn't have a temper?

Some people might think that Zhang Menglong was simply acting on a whim, seeing that the Qualcomm Electronics employees were being treated unfairly and impulsively supporting their strike.

But you wrong him by claiming he is targeting Qualcomm Electronics, and when pushed into a corner, he went for broke! You say I'm targeting them, right? Fine! I'll target them for you to see!

"Hahaha! No problem, I'll play along with whatever false accusations you make, I shouldn't carry this blame for nothing, right?"

"Zhang is still Zhang, his tactics are just too clever, that eloquence, must be from De Yun Society, right?"

"Zhang isn't just out for revenge on Qualcomm Electronics, he's out to completely destroy them!"

"So ruthless! Too ruthless!"...

Originally, this press conference was just a spectacle for everyone, since employee strikes are nothing uncommon in these Western countries.

Usually, such employee strikes are just a way for workers to vent their emotions, after all, everyone needs to eat, right? Who can endure not having an income for long?

But now the Sect Leader is directly funding their strike, even doubling their salaries! He just said that this financial support will continue until the workers voluntarily stop striking or those slandering Zhang Menglong publicly apologize to him.

Under such circumstances, would the employees voluntarily stop striking? Not working yet getting twice the usual salary, isn't that appealing? Why would they stop striking?

As for how long the strike funds provided by Zhang Menglong can last, someone calculated that with over 7000 Qualcomm Electronics employees participating in the strike and an average salary of about 5000 US dollars, double that would be 10,000 US dollars.

So Zhang Menglong would need to provide them with 70 million US dollars a month, which amounts to 840 million US dollars a year.

Is 840 million US dollars a lot? It's a lot, for ordinary people, it's the amount of money one would have to start working from the Jurassic period to earn!

But is it a lot for Zhang Menglong?

Not at all! Zhang Menglong casually spends 500 million Huaxia yuan on fireworks and pays a tax correction fine of 150 billion Huaxia yuan. He's not even happy if the fines are too small. With his financial power, supporting these workers until their deaths would likely be an easy feat for him.

As for those slandering Zhang Menglong to publicly apologize, where did those words come from? They came straight from the mouths of Qualcomm Electronics executives, asking them to apologize to Zhang Menglong is akin to them bowing down to him, isn't it?

The relationship between Qualcomm Electronics and Silicon Moonlight of Huaxia had already been at loggerheads. Asking them to willingly apologize to Zhang Menglong is arguably harder than getting the employees to give up their strike.

"This... this isn't what we meant..." the reporter suddenly backed down, realizing that these reporters might just have become the instigators for Zhang Menglong to declare full-scale war on Qualcomm Electronics.

Is Qualcomm Electronics strong?

Strong! They control the world's most advanced electronic communication technology and can sanction the electronics industries of Huaxia or even the whole world with just one sentence.

But one step above the divine power is the demonic power. As long as they have not achieved 100% automation and still need workers, Zhang Menglong's tactic could completely ruin them.

"Mr. Zhang, don't you think your behavior is a bit too much?" a reporter from a major magazine questioned.

"I know the saying, 'When in Rome, do as the Romans do,'" laughed Zhang Menglong, "but now we are not in Huaxia, we are in America. I should follow the law, but tell me, did I incite Qualcomm Electronics' workers to strike?"

"This..." The reporter was at a loss for words because every worker's signature was on the strike announcement from Brelanas, proving that they had all voluntarily decided to strike.

Moreover, their reasons for striking were quite justified; their workload and work output were higher than nearby companies, yet their wages were lower. Those reporters had to ask themselves, what would they do if they were in that situation?

Without a doubt, they would also choose to strike!

So there was no inciting nature in Zhang Menglong's actions.

"Since my actions haven't broken any laws or discipline, is it any of your business?" Zhang Menglong retorted directly.

"My money was earned by myself, I haven't stolen nor robbed, I will spend it how I want, what's it to you?" And I also want to say, "Being rich really allows one to do whatever one wants, if you disagree, you can also throw money at me!"

"So resolute! I've decided to totally become a fan today!"

"I used to really dislike rich people, but I don't know why, now it feels damn good!"

No one expected Zhang Menglong to be so tough in such a public setting. The media reporters had come with various questions, but at this moment no one dared to ask anything, seeing the frightened look on the reporter just now, who would dare to ask questions carelessly?

"Right, to prove that I'm not targeting Qualcomm Electronics, I want to announce a decision!"

The press conference went completely silent.

"I plan to establish a Worker's Fund! Whenever employees from any company feel there is unfair treatment, they can send a representative to me for assistance, and I will support them at twice their wages. Don't call me great, I just want all the workers to be happy!"

Zhang Menglong turned to Hong Yi and said, "This fund doesn't need much money to start with, just prepare 100 billion US Dollars for now! That Brelanas from last time seems quite good, let him represent all the workers to manage this foundation!"

"Damn! 100 billion US Dollars?"

"Hahaha, Worker's Fund, that kills me!"

"Damn! That's so cunning! This logic is incredible, you think I'm targeting a particular company? Sorry, I'm targeting all companies!"

"It's got the flavor of the Senior Disciple with the severed water flow!"

"It's done!" The reporter felt a blackout before his eyes, even a chill arose in the hearts of the reporters; even if Zhang Menglong originally planned to target Qualcomm Electronics, it was just one company after all.

There's certainly an impact, but America still has many leading telecommunications electronics companies; even if the worst comes to the worst and this company goes under, there are still other companies.

Today's broadcast was a national one, meaning there are countless people currently watching this show on TV. If this foundation were to be established, one can only imagine the kind of strike frenzy it would incite nationwide.

According to social statistics, every year there are more than ten major strikes, and if this foundation really gets established, that number could potentially increase tenfold or even a hundredfold, making the eventual impact nearly impossible to predict.

By then, a significant part of the blame will be placed on these reporters; who asked you to pose these weird questions? If you hadn't pushed Zhang Menglong into a corner, would he have lashed out and done all this?

Should anything actually happen following this broadcast, it would be a double victory, a time to apologize to the people of the nation!
