Hearing this, all the reporters were stunned. The richest person in the world, what a powerful aura that is. Wouldn't anyone who becomes the richest person try every means to let the whole world know? Everyone has vanity, how much more for someone like Zhang Menglong, a young man in his early 20s? Isn't this the age when people love to show off?@@@@ But Zhang Menglong said that hearing the entire news was annoying to death, as if the title of the world's richest person was a burden to him. What's going on here? "Mr. Zhang, could you share your thoughts on becoming the richest man?" Read exclusive adventures at My Virtual Library Empire "Yes, Mr. Zhang, just say a few words!" The reporters kept persistently asking. "What thoughts could I have?" Zhang Menglong spread his hands, "I'm not interested in money. Whether I'm the richest man in the world or not, I would still have this much money. It's just an empty title, nothing worth feeling anything about." "Ding! Congratulations Director for pulling a massive national stunt, gaining 100 Cred Points!" "Crap! I wasn't showing off!" Those words were heartfelt from Zhang Menglong. To him, this title really didn't mean much, and could even be a burden. But somehow, gaining 100 Cred Points still felt quite pleasing. "270 points now?" Unaware until he checked, Zhang Menglong was surprised to find he already had 270 Cred Points. Probably, those unlucky souls who were finished off by Ye Yin contributed to his Cred Points just before their demise, although he hadn't noticed at the time. Thinking about this, Zhang Menglong couldn't help but laugh. The reporters, watching Zhang Menglong looking all goofy, were speechless. They were well aware of Zhang Menglong's level of pretentiousness. Making the national leader of Qingqiu Country sing "Conquest" on a live broadcast, changing NetEase Music to "Foot Washing City" — could anyone top his ability to show off? He was undeniably Huaxia's number one pretender. But today he seemed a bit off his game, why did he break into laughter right after speaking? However, these reporters were trained for such circumstances and wouldn't usually break character unless compelled by something truly funny, like Zhang Menglong's silly laughter, which even made some of them struggle to hold back their own laughter. "It seems Mr. Zhang isn't as indifferent as he claims," one reporter laughed, "So far, Forbes rankings haven't disclosed your exact wealth. According to the latest data, Mr. Poladi ranked second on Forbes has a fortune of 240 billion US dollars. May I ask Mr. Zhang if you are willing to reveal the specific amount of your assets?" If Zhang Menglong's assets could be confirmed, it would be huge news indeed! Zhang Menglong quickly opened his account at Swiss Bank and seeing that long string of zeros, he breathed a sigh of relief. "Mr. Zhang, what's wrong?" a journalist asked curiously. "Nothing much, just got a bit scared by you all. I thought my assets had shrunk to 800 billion US Dollars!" "What?" the journalists looked at each other, bewildered. "Damn, this guy is a real show-off, 'only' 800 billion left and he got scared?" "I'm mentally broken, not to mention 800 billion in assets, even 80 million would have me walking shoulder to shoulder with the sun." "Pinch my philtrum! I can't take it anymore!" "What did he just mean by that? Are you saying his assets are more than 800 billion US Dollars?" "How did you guys come up with that calculation?" Zhang Menglong chuckled. He didn't even know how much money he had, how could anyone else calculate it? "Recently you flaunted a deposit of over 700 trillion Qingqiu Currency in Qingqiu Country on social media, which is about 670 billion US Dollars. You merged with Tengxun Music and Wangyi Music, which today are valued at about 82 billion US Dollars, and you also have shares in Unicorn Technology, today valued at 100 billion US Dollars and Weibo around 10 billion US Dollars. According to your shareholding percentage, that comes to about 130 billion US Dollars." "Honestly, I don't even know exactly how much money I have," Zhang Menglong spread his hands, "Forget everything else, that 700 trillion Qingqiu Currency, it's just the balance in my Qingqiu Bank account. I still have other savings accounts in Qingqiu Minsheng Bank and Qingqiu People's Bank, that's just my savings in Qingqiu Country!" Upon hearing this, the journalists were completely stunned. That meant his assets were far beyond 800 billion US Dollars, and mostly in the form of deposits, which meant cash! On the Forbes rankings, which billionaire's assets are cash? Aren't they almost all tangible assets? "Alright, you probably don't have any more questions, right?" Zhang Menglong asked, "If not, I'm leaving, I'm quite busy, after all, I'd rather be famous for my talents, I'm off to prepare for my postgraduate and doctoral exams!" With that, Zhang Menglong really just pushed through the crowd and left.
