"Socialist Home?" Hearing these words, Mobai and Yajize Tian immediately exchanged glances.
Coming from a socialist country and baring enmity with them, who else could it be besides Zhang Menglong?
In that instant, they all understood! Zhang Menglong was truly here to target Qualcomm Electronics this time!
Were it not for the official US backing, Zhang Menglong's net worth alone would suffice to buy out Qualcomm Electronics completely, but since he couldn't purchase it, he could sabotage it. As long as the employees went on strike, how could their company continue to operate normally?
Just now, Berlainas had said the strike would continue until the company compromised with them or it would go on indefinitely.
With Zhang Menglong's financial resources, even supporting these employees for a lifetime would be a piece of cake. With his financial backing, the strike would never stop!
Not having to work and yet receiving double the salary was such a huge benefit—how could the employees possibly give it up? They would be delighting in the company's stalemate with them for years, better yet, a lifetime!
"This Huaxia man's tactics are really vicious!" Infelite, who once shared ownership in Silicon Moonlight, lamented.
After being ousted from the board by Zhang Menglong, Infelite had joined forces with the president of Silicon Moonlight's union, hoping to force him into agreeing to their conditions through a strike.
But Infelite completely failed to anticipate that Zhang Menglong simply did not fear losses, and straightaway fired those causing trouble, paying out whatever was owed, even willing to spend money to support idlers when the company wasn't bringing in any revenue.
But that's just how rich and capricious he was; Infelite could only slink back to America dejectedly.
Several months had passed, and just when he was about to forget such an incident had ever taken place, the same situation was unfolding at Qualcomm Electronics. The playbook was exactly the same as before.
What was different was that Zhang Menglong wasn't afraid of losses, but they were!
"What benefits did Zhang Menglong offer you to instigate the workers into striking?" Infelite demanded.
"Mr. Infelite, that is slander against me!" Berlainas replied, "I've made it very clear, this is the collective decision of all our employees. I do not know the gentleman supporting us. I only know that he calls himself a 'successor of socialism.' Whether he is the Zhang Menglong you speak of, I really have no idea."
"What successor of socialism!" Infelite clenched his fists. Those who called themselves "successor of socialism"—if that person wasn't Zhang Menglong, he would directly swallow up Qualcomm Electronics!
But Berlainas didn't admit to it, and they had no recourse; the threshold for defamation was very low in this country. If he couldn't produce evidence, then Berlainas could just as well send him a lawyer's letter of warning!
"You're full of shit!" Infelite cursed angrily.
Did the world's richest man travel thousands of miles to America just for tourism? Is it just a coincidence that he happened to come to Silicon Valley and just accidentally ran into Bernalius and got along with him like a house on fire?
No one would believe such a story.
But with Zhang Menglong denying everything, what could Infelite do?
"I am saying, you at Qualcomm Electronics, with such a big company, can't even pay a bit of salary; I'm embarrassed for you!"
"Zhang Menglong, those company employees' inexplicable raises, you're involved in that too, aren't you?" Infelite suddenly got much smarter. The salaries those companies were offering were clearly more than they could afford. Where would they get so much money? It had to be Zhang Menglong supplying it!
"That's right, I gave those more than five hundred companies a total of 20 billion US Dollars, but you have no proof!" Zhang Menglong said in an irritating tone.
"What good does it do you to spend billions of US Dollars on something like this?" Infelite asked.
"It doesn't get me any good!" Zhang Menglong said blandly, "Just a few billion US Dollars, I don't care about that money, but if it makes you unhappy, then it's money well spent to me!"
"Aren't you afraid that I'll sue you for destroying the market?"
"Go ahead!" Zhang Menglong laughed, "I have never heard of a rule that says you can't pay employees a high salary. I have only heard about minimum wage standards, but there's no maximum wage limit. You are too poor to pay, and you don't allow others to do so?"
Infelite's teeth were grinding so loudly, and his breathing became much heavier, indicating just how furious he was.
"Zhang Menglong, you are courting death! Don't forget, this is America, not Huaxia!" Infelite's extreme anger almost made him lose his reason.
"Oh, I'm so scared! If you can't stand it, come and kill me!" Zhang Menglong replied mockingly, "Oh, by the way, I have started recording this call, and every word you just said will serve as evidence in court!"
"You... you..." Infelite, already not a young man, felt his blood pressure skyrocket after hearing this, and he actually collapsed straight away.
"Mr. Infelite! Mr. Infelite!"
"Call an ambulance, quick!"
