I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Brother Zhang, why don't I just give these shares back to you?" On the way back, Xia You appeared restless.

A plain girl suddenly possessed 50 billion in massive shares, probably wouldn't be able to sleep well for a year.

"It's okay, you keep them," Zhang Menglong said, "I'm not interested in this small amount of money, as long as Manager Xia won't refuse to record songs for our movie due to the sudden surge in her net worth."

"No no no, I promise I won't, I will definitely sing well!" Xia You hastily said.

"Hahaha, I was just joking," Zhang Menglong said.

"But..."

"No buts, this is compensation for your emotional distress; the victim isn't me, why give it to me? Just keep it with peace of mind."

"Then... then Brother Zhang, if you ever need it, you can ask me anytime."

"I know," Zhang Menglong laughed, "However, there likely won't be a day when I'll need that."

...

With his own private jet, Zhang Menglong flew directly from the Wangyi Group headquarters in Yangcheng back to Jiangnan City in the afternoon. He spent a few days adequately pooling the resources of Tengxun Music, Wangyi Music, and Music Forest, and from then on, Music Forest became the undisputed largest music platform in the country.

As for the original building of Wangyi Music, it was indeed transformed by Zhang Menglong into Wangyi Footpath, amalgamating foot baths, massages, fitness, etc., and while Zhang Menglong became the focus of public attention, it also made Ding Sanshi very popular.

It's worth mentioning that Wangyi Footpath even had a large number of customers handling their membership cards during the renovation period, and it even stirred quite a strong market reaction.

"Old Zhang, have you seen the international news recently?"

"What news? Are you talking about the old US changing presidents?" Zhang Menglong thought carefully, the most intense international response recently, should be just that."

"Not that, I'm talking about something related to you!"

"Related to me?" Zhang Menglong wondered, "What's up, has my Wangyi Footpath branched out overseas?"

"Don't you ever watch international news!" Wang Ling said, "Do you remember the last time Poladi came to Huaxia for dinner, the things he said about economic history?"

"Oh, you mean my grandfather's business, what about it?"

"What about it? You can still ask what about it?" Wang Ling couldn't help but laugh and cry, "Is this a trivial matter? This has overturned the whole history of economics, don't you know how many people around the world are paying attention to this?"

"What's there to pay attention to, I thought everyone just listened and let it go!"

"How could that be!" Wang Ling said, "Especially a few countries at odds with ours, if they acknowledge this, isn't it as good as admitting that their economy has been trampled underfoot by a developing country, and also admitting that they are all cowards?"

"They are all cowards indeed!" Zhang Menglong said disdainfully, "What, they couldn't contend with my grandfather, now they plan to target me?"

"Isn't it?" Wang Ling said, "You know, the US just changed presidents, now is the time to establish authority, and they started mudslinging at you right away."

"Huh?"

"See for yourself!" Wang Ling immediately sent a link to Zhang Menglong.

Though it was a foreign website, Zhang Menglong's home network could climb over the firewall freely. The link contained some unsightly insults.

It claimed Zhang Menglong courted popularity, attempted to subvert the world's economic history, repeatedly emphasizing that the course of the world economy was exactly as history described, that economic crises indeed happened, but had nothing to do with Zhang Menglong's grandfather, branding him a complete fraud!

Not only that, but several top economists had stepped forward and directly fired at Zhang Menglong, accusing him of disrespecting history. "How could one person defy the entire global economic system?" they questioned.

Under their leadership, other economists also began to slander Zhang Menglong, who now became a figure of disgrace in the entire economic circle.

"You tell me, it's one thing for those foreigners to make a fuss, but now we even have our own people criticizing you. Isn't that infuriating?" Wang Ling said as he casually forwarded another message to Zhang Menglong.

This was a joint statement from several Huaxia economic experts. Because of Zhang Menglong's actions, he had brought a negative impact on Huaxia's economic community. Now, they were demanding that Zhang Menglong publicly apologize and admit that everything he said was false; otherwise, this condemnation would persist.

"Well, well," Zhang Menglong sneered. "These people really are spineless, aren't they? Can't handle the pressure and start fighting among themselves?"

"Right?" Wang Ling said, "It was just some turbulence in the foreign economic circles before, but these days, the news is spreading domestically. Your reputation isn't sounding so good now."

"No worries, it's not a big deal!" Zhang Menglong said, opening up his Weibo.

Sure enough, those who relished drama were always on the frontline. Zhang Menglong's private messages and his latest post were nearly exploding with everyone asking for the truth about the situation.

"I'm not one to chatter unnecessarily. Forgive my bluntness, but what my grandfather could do, I can do too. To all those criticizing me, count yourselves; you're all worthless!"

"Boss Zhang, you finally spoke up. I thought you had run away!"

"Boss Zhang, does Wangyi have any apprentice slots? I'm considering coming to work."

"Boss Zhang is still tough, but this matter, I'm the first to disbelieve. It's too exaggerated. If your grandfather really had that ability, wouldn't he have dominated Earth already?"

"Hahaha, that's Boss Zhang being low-key."

"To be honest, I don't quite believe this either. Stirring up drama is one thing, but there's no need for this."

"Exactly, Boss Zhang. It's just apologizing, right? What's so shameful about apologizing to history? Besides, you really are loaded. You must be the richest man in the world, right?"

"Boss Zhang, how much does it cost to hire an actor? Especially one of the richest-man-in-the-world caliber; it can't be cheap, right?"

...

"Hahaha, see, even your fans don't believe you!" Wang Ling, always focused on Zhang Menglong's Weibo, instantly started mocking him.

"Do you believe it?" Zhang Menglong retorted.

"This..." Rationally speaking, Wang Ling didn't believe it – one person controlling the global economy, what need would there be for other countries then?

But emotionally speaking, for some reason, he felt that there might be a certain possibility to it.

"Looks like you don't believe it either!" Zhang Menglong laughed. He didn't blame Wang Ling; had he heard such news, he most likely wouldn't believe it either.

"It seems I need to do something, or these people will never shut up," Zhang Menglong said casually flipping through the comments, some of which were quite vile and hard to read.

"What are you planning to do?" Wang Ling suddenly had a bad feeling.

"Nothing much, just planning to make history repeat itself!"

Zhang Menglong immediately posted another update.
