Bernas had originally been an ordinary engineer at Qualcomm Electronics. He was 35 years old this year and had joined the company after graduating from college. However, due to his average technical skills and abilities, his rank had never advanced beyond that of a mid-level engineer. Your next chapter awaits on My Virtual Library Empire But over the decades, as others came and went, he remained, for a variety of reasons. While he wasn't skilled at flattering and currying favor, he found a sense of superiority among the junior engineers and assembly line workers and, to his surprise, actually managed to become quite close with them. When the Qualcomm Electronics workers' union was formed, he received the support of the majority of the workers and became the President of the Qualcomm Electronics union! In many capitalist countries, companies have labor unions. These unions are not established by the companies themselves but are spontaneously organized by the employees and are not directly managed by the company. The purpose of a labor union is to fight for the rights and benefits of the employees, and nowadays, many large enterprises in Huaxia are gradually seeing the emergence of such organizations as well. As the President of the union, Bernas not only had an additional income but also held a status in the company that was no less than that of some senior engineers and executives. Representing the interests of 80% of the company's employees, his words carried a lot of weight among the workers, and even the leaders did not dare to offend him lightly. With this role, Bernas led a rather comfortable life at the company. But one day, he received an anonymous call. Someone had made an appointment to meet him at Mogate Bar that evening and requested that he come alone, without bringing anyone. Moreover, the caller emphasized it was a good thing! Bernas's life was already quite good, but human desires are endless. Besides, the meeting place was a bar bustling with people; he had no concerns about foul play or ulterior motives from the other party. With a mix of anxiety and anticipation, he arrived at Mogate Bar as agreed. "Excuse me, are you Mr. Bernas?" As soon as he pushed open the door of the bar, a bartender approached him to ask. Bernas nodded, "Right this way, please. A guest has been waiting for you for a long time," the bartender led Bernas to a private booth by the window, where a young stranger was seated. "Thank you for your trouble, you may go now," the young man pulled out a stack of bills and placed them on the menu. Bernas twitched at the corner of his eye. The stack of bills must have amounted to at least several dozen. Although Mogate Bar was the finest in town, its prices were only mid-range; the largest tips were usually only a few tens of US dollars, rarely exceeding 100 dollars. Yet this young man had casually given away thousands of dollars, his largesse was breathtaking! His gaze quickly swept over the young man's attire, which bore no logos, but both the materials and the craftsmanship were exquisite. "Mr. Breina, please take a seat!" Zhang Menglong pointed to the seat in front of him, "Let me introduce myself, my name is Zhang Menglong!" "You're Zhang Menglong?" Breina sprang up from his seat. Zhongtong Electronics had been one of the upstream companies for Silicon Moonlight; they produced Crystal Chips that were sent to Silicon Moonlight for packaging and testing. He also knew that the current richest man in the world, Zhang Menglong, had acquired Silicon Moonlight and even ousted several American shareholders. These shareholders were actually the executives of Zhongtong Electronics! If a direct relationship were to be drawn, Zhang Menglong and Zhongtong Electronics were absolutely on opposing sides! How could there be anything good from him reaching out today? "Don't panic," Zhang Menglong said with a smile, "if I have a grudge, it's only with Zhongtong Electronics. What are you worried about?" "That's true!" Breina calmed down a little. "So Mr. Zhang, why approach me..." "Not long ago, several executives from your Zhongtong Electronics colluded with Kaibong people to cause trouble at my company, instigating employees at Silicon Moonlight to strike, and reported supposed fire hazards and tax loopholes," Zhang Menglong listed one aggravation after another, "these things have irked me, so I'm planning to retaliate!" Although Breina didn't say anything, he was mentally bashing Zhang Menglong thoroughly. You're the richest man in the world, why be so petty? You want retaliation for every negative against you? Are you still in kindergarten? Only children are that vengeful! But then he suddenly remembered what Otto had said before, that Zhang Menglong wanted to discuss a business deal with him, and if it worked out, he could earn millions of US dollars! "What do you want me to do, Mr. Zhang?" Breina asked. "Aren't you the president of the union? I assume you have some clout among the workers, right?" Breina's eyes lit up; Zhang Menglong was recognizing his influence among the workers! He knew that Zhang Menglong must want him to use his clout to do something. Though the target was his own company, if the money was right, what can't be done? Ten million dollars was more than he could ever earn in his lifetime; if this deal went through, he could live comfortably without working a day more in his life! "At Qualcomm Electronics, I was elected union president with over eighty percent of worker votes," Breina immediately showed his worth, "Mr. Zhang, what do you need me to do for you?" "Simple, I want you to lead your workers in a massive strike!"
