I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Uncle Mao, take a break, don't lead Mr. Zhang astray. It's fine if you play around, but if Uncle Xiao Yun finds out, you'll be in trouble!" Hong Yi finally couldn't bear to listen any longer. Men around the world are indeed the same, becoming frivolous the moment they talk about beautiful women.

"Cough, cough, I was just joking to ease the awkward atmosphere!" Hearing this name, Mao Xionghui immediately became nervous. In his heart, Zhang Menglong's father held an esteem akin to religious faith.

"If you keep this up, I'm going to tell Aunt Fang!"

"No, no, no!" Mao Xionghui instantly panicked, "As long as you don't tell your Aunt Fang, whatever you say goes!"

"Hahaha!" Hong Yi couldn't help but burst into laughter, seeing that this man who was almost like an Emperor in Qingqiu Country was actually a husband who feared his wife.

"By the way, Mr. Zhang, what exactly brings you here this time? Little girl Hong Yi hasn't told me yet." Mao Xionghui asked curiously.

"It's nothing serious, just some international economists throwing mud at me, saying that the stuff about my grandfather causing the world economic crisis was all made up. They don't believe it, right? How could I not prove it to them!"

"Hahaha, these idiots really don't know who they're questioning," Mao Xionghui sneered, "It's not just about you Mr. Zhang. Any family under your command, without talking about causing a world financial crisis, could flip a country without any problem, at least."

"Cough, cough, cough, let's not talk about that, shall we!"

"Hahaha," Mao Xionghui continued to laugh, "So, why did Mr. Zhang choose Qingqiu Country for this? Usually, isn't it the US that's the most showy with such things? It seems they've forgotten how badly your grandfather dealt with them back in the day."

"That's not surprising, probably those who lived through that catastrophe are mostly gone," Zhang Menglong speculated, "As for Qingqiu Country, they claim that the economic crisis was caused by some economic model practice of theirs. They're still good at boasting and, moreover, have foul mouths!"

"Qingqiu has always been like that," Mao Xionghui said, "This country needs a lesson indeed. It seems I have an exciting event to look forward to this time."

"If the entire economic system of Qingqiu collapsed, it wouldn't cause any trouble for you, would it?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"There will definitely be an impact," Mao Xionghui said, "However, the money in the world won't just vanish. My money is also yours, Mr. Zhang. It's merely moving from one pocket of yours to another. As for that little loss, consider it a transaction fee; I'll quickly make it back."

"Mr. Zhang, don't worry, Uncle Mao controls over 80% of the energy supply in Qingqiu. As long as this country exists, he won't go hungry!"

"What are you talking about, girl?"

"Hahaha!"

...

Mao Xionghui had already arranged accommodation for Zhang Menglong, located in a wealthy area of the capital Qiuyuan. Although it wasn't a villa, it certainly rivalled supreme flats like Tomson First-grade, with its view covering almost the entire capital.

"Why have you gone to Qingqiu?" As usual, Zhang Menglong started a video call with Lu Yiyao, who seemed to have just taken a shower today, her snowy collarbones igniting some wicked thoughts in Zhang Menglong.

"To give a lesson to some foul-mouthed people. I'll be back in a few days, and maybe do some star chasing!"

"Star chasing? If you meet Lee Ji-eun and Lisa, you must get me an autographed photo!" Lu Yiyao suddenly got excited upon hearing this.

Lu Yiyao's tastes were almost identical to Zhang Menglong's, and these two Qingqiu actresses were among her favorites.

"Hahaha, aren't you afraid I'll take them both as my little wives?" Zhang Menglong laughed.

"If you had that ability, I wouldn't mind at all. Being sisters with Ji-eun and Lisa, I'd be more than willing!"

"Damn, is that even possible!" Zhang Menglong was momentarily speechless; how can women's thoughts be so bizarre? Especially these star-chasing girls.

After playing a couple of games with Lu Yiyao, boredom from the journey lulled Zhang Menglong to a deep sleep.

...

"Let's go to the bank!" Early in the morning, Zhang Menglong left the house full of energy. Today, he planned to do something big, which was to empty the entire Qingqiu Bank's cash reserve.

The car glided smoothly on the way to the head office of Qingqiu Bank. Zhang Menglong was browsing Qingqiu news on his phone. Although he didn't understand the Qingqiu language, he had Hong Yi, the humanoid translation machine fluent in 12 languages, with him.

"Mr. Zhang, last night until this morning, the banks in Qingqiu have been working overtime all night!"

"Oh? Haha, I thought banks kept nine-to-five hours!"

"This is a special period. There were so many Qingqiu citizens coming to withdraw money that they brought tents and chairs to wait at the bank's door when it closed, fearing they wouldn't be able to withdraw money when the bank reopened the next day. It has already affected social order, so the banks had no choice but to work overnight to process the transactions."

"They really are going all out," Zhang Menglong couldn't help but exclaim.

"Last night, even Qingqiu's Finance Bureau came out to debunk rumors, saying it was impossible for the banks to collapse and that the cash reserves couldn't be emptied. The issue was merely due to transportation inconveniences, causing delays. But until now, the banks appeared wealthy and unfazed, able to meet everyone's withdrawals.

Now the mood of the public has been stabilized, most have dispersed, and those remaining are expected to be processed by this morning."

"They can actually produce that much money? They're not just bluffing, are they?" Zhang Menglong said.

"How could that be?" Hong Yi revealed a data page, "As of this morning, every bank's cash reserves have decreased by more than 100 trillion Qingqiu Currency, which is almost half their savings for six months."

"How much is left now? Can you find out?"

"Of course!" Hong Yi flipped to another set of data, "Qingqiu Bank's head office still has about 300 trillion in cash reserves, and other banks range between 100 trillion and 300 trillion."

"That's still quite a lot, huh!" A playful smile appeared on Zhang Menglong's face, "Do I have accounts in these banks?"

"Yes," Zhang Menglong said, "You have a primary account in each bank. This account is hidden, and nobody knows about it. However, under this primary account, there are countless sub-accounts. These include both personal and corporate accounts, all belonging to companies and employees under your name. You can manage these funds freely through the primary account."

"How much money is there?"

"In the case of Qingqiu Bank, it's around 700 trillion Qingqiu Currency."

"Sheesh!" Zhang Menglong couldn't help but gasp. That was almost 700 billion US Dollars, and this was just the money in one Qingqiu Bank. It seemed that the task his father had set for him to unlock the family heirloom by spending a mere 100 billion US Dollars was indeed just a minor test.

Soon, the car stopped at the bank's entrance. As the head office, it was quite grand, with a long queue of people waiting to withdraw money and security guards and special police maintaining order around.

"Do we have to line up, too?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"Of course not. Your account is like the black Honored Card of Huaxia, with some special privileges. There's a dedicated banking team to offer you services. You just need to contact them," Hong Yi explained.

"Oh," Zhang Menglong dialed the number Hong Yi provided.

"Hello, esteemed Customer Number 01, what service can I help you with?" a girl's voice came from the other end, speaking Huaxia as if she knew he was from Huaxia. Experience new stories on empire

The voice trembled slightly, as if she was encountering something very nerve-racking.

"Customer Number 01? Quite impressive," Zhang Menglong noted, without paying too much attention to the other party's excited tone.

"Oh, hello, I'd like to make a withdrawal."

"How much would you like to withdraw? We will prepare it immediately. When will you arrive at the bank, or shall we send a car for you?"

"Impressive service quality!" It was the first time Zhang Menglong heard of getting picked up by a car for a bank withdrawal. "No need, I'm already at the bank entrance. Let's start with a withdrawal of 500 trillion Qingqiu Currency!"
