"Ah?"
"Giving away money? What does that mean? Are they going to invest in us?"
"Is there really such good fortune?"
Many business owners and executives were suddenly all abuzz. Could there really be such pie-in-the-sky opportunities in the world?
Most of these 500-plus companies weren't very large, so even an investment of tens of millions of US dollars would be of significant help to them.
Although most people didn't know much about Zhang Menglong, it was said that whenever he spent money, he did so in units of billions. If Zhang Menglong was really willing to invest, it would be an absolute godsend for them!
Some people knew that Zhang Menglong had come to America; could it be that he was here this time to make investments?
In capitalist countries, whoever has the money is the boss. They couldn't care less about what Zhang Menglong wanted to do; as long as it didn't affect their money-making, he could do whatever he pleased. And if he could help them earn money, they'd welcome him with open arms and treat him like the God of Wealth himself!
Not only them, but even Hong Yi and Otto had their faces full of question marks, completely unaware of what Zhang Menglong intended to do.
"Mr. Zhang, what do you mean by that? We don't quite understand!"
"Your question is a good one," Zhang Menglong needed someone to take the initiative to ask, "May I know how to address this business owner?"
"Just call me Old Jason, I'm the owner of a car parts factory," the first business owner to ask a question replied.
"Would it be possible to disclose the assets of your company?"
"Of course," Old Jason replied with a hearty laugh. Even if he didn't say, with the Du bo family's capabilities, finding out such information would be a piece of cake. Their assets were nothing compared to even the decimal points of the others' wealth, so there was nothing to hide, "My company's assets are about 24 million US dollars!"
"Very good," Zhang Menglong said with a smile, "To thank Mr. Jason for asking the key question, I am willing to inject 30 million US dollars into your company!"
"Otto, arrange the transfer!" Zhang Menglong turned and said to Otto.
"Yes, Mr. Zhang," Otto approached Old Jason, "Mr. Jason, please provide your company's account details!"
The sudden surprise left Old Jason with a somewhat stiff expression. He had long wanted to expand his business scale, but due to financial pressures, he hadn't been able to make a move. This money was enough for him to take more orders and expand his company's business by two or three times!
He reported his company's account number with a trembling voice, and in less than a minute, he received a text message from the bank.
The crowd immediately erupted into a frenzy. Nothing had been explained yet, and here was 30 million US dollars being thrown at an unknown company on the spot. Was Zhang Menglong really so rich that he was at odds with money?
"Otto, if you were an employee of a company and the employees of other companies around you, doing work with lower technical content, yet earning higher salaries than you, what would you do?" Zhang Menglong asked.
"Of course, I'd be angry!" Otto replied without hesitation, "They don't generate as much value as I do, why should they earn a higher salary? If it were me, I'd switch jobs!"

"But what if you can't switch or don't get a raise even if you do?"
"Then I'd protest! Strike!"
"Wait a minute!" Otto suddenly seemed to realize something.
Before Zhang Menglong's arrival, his father had told him that Zhang Menglong was probably here to settle personal scores, and his target was likely the chip suppliers in Europe and America.
In this Silicon Valley town, resided one of the world's largest telecommunications companies, Qualcomm Electronics!
At Qualcomm Electronics, the number of workers and engineers accounted for over 80% of the entire company's workforce, and their average salary was about 4,500 to 5,000 US Dollars a month, whereas the surrounding enterprises had an average salary of about 3,000 to 3,500 US Dollars a month—there was a considerable gap in wage levels.
With Zhang Menglong's move, the wages of employees at those companies doubled, even surpassing Qualcomm Electronics' employees, yet they were doing the same work as before. Would they be willing to accept it?
He understood, he understood it all!
Zhang Menglong's 20 billion US Dollars was not about idle investment; it was aimed to bring down Qualcomm Electronics!
Wait until a few days later when the workers at Qualcomm Electronics learn of this, they'd surely feel discontent. With just a little maneuvering, in this land of the free, Zhang Menglong could create quite a stir!
"Mr. Zhang, given your personality, are you really content with helping these Americans make money with these 20 billion?" Hong Yi couldn't help but ask.
"No worries, the cost is passed on to the consumers!" Zhang Menglong laughed. "When our chips are ready, if they want to buy, we'll charge them double the already doubled price. It's up to them to take it or leave it!"
Hong Yi showed an expression that said it all made sense now. Zhang Menglong didn't care about spending money domestically, but when it came to spending abroad, he was more of a miser than the God of Wealth himself!
"Otto, do you have a way to contact the President of the Qualcomm Electronics union or the higher-ups?"
"Of course, what do you want to do?"
"Help me set up a meeting. I want to discuss a deal with them, a deal that could guarantee a life of luxury for generations!"
Zhang Menglong, with hands clasped behind his back, walked out of the hall, "I, Zhang Menglong, am someone who holds very strong grudges!"
