As the sound of the siren faded away, the ambulance carrying Infelite disappeared into the distance, but a deeper gloom shrouded the boardroom.
"That damned Huaxia man, Zhang Menglong," Mobai gritted his teeth and said, "who would have thought he would really spend so much money! What is his purpose, merely to annoy us?"
"Whatever the reason, we absolutely cannot let those employees go on strike. If we don't complete the project delivery by the end of the month, we will lose at least several hundred million US Dollars."
"So, what can we do? Give them a raise, increase their vacation time? How much money would we lose annually? I disagree!"
"Exactly! If we agree this time, there will be a next time and a time after that. Are we supposed to compromise every time they make a fuss?"
"I firmly disagree!"@@@@
The attitudes of the shareholders were incredibly staunch; for capitalists, money was even more important than life itself!
"Everyone, don't panic. The situation is not that bad yet!" Yeji Zetian said.
"Mr. Zetian, do you have any solution?" The shareholders immediately turned their gaze toward Yeji Zetian. In the entire Qualcomm Electronics, Yeji Zetian was almost like a strategical brain, reviving the company from several life-and-death crises.
"Actually, it's simple," Yeji Zetian said, "These employees are only feeling this way because they can't tolerate seeing people from other companies earning higher salaries, which causes psychological imbalance. If we lower the cost of labor in the town's market, their mentality will be balanced, and naturally, there will be no more trouble."
"But how can we do that? Can we even interfere with the internal affairs of other companies?" someone asked.
"Gentlemen, don't forget why this Silicon Valley town was established!" Yeji Zetian said, "Could the economy here have thrived without Qualcomm Electronics?"
"Right! Although there are many companies in Silicon Valley town, over fifty percent have business dealings with us. Without our orders, they couldn't even survive!"
"Exactly! If they want to continue cooperating with us, then they should restore the normal wages of their workers!"
"It's just like Mr. Zetian!" the shareholders laughed, "We almost forgot, Qualcomm Electronics is the king of this Silicon Valley town!"
...
"Mr. Zhang, there's trouble!" Otto knocked hurriedly at Zhang Menglong's door.
"What's the matter, why the rush?" Zhang Menglong stepped out of the room.
"Recently, some company owners came to me. They want to terminate the agreement with us," Otto said. "Most of their business comes from Qualcomm Electronics as they are downstream companies, and now Qualcomm Electronics is blackmailing them to immediately restore the workers' salaries through contractual obligations."
"These people react quite swiftly!" Zhang Menglong seemed to have anticipated this situation.
The owners of those companies were actually filled with doubts about Zhang Menglong's strange investment behavior. If they knew that Zhang Menglong's target was Qualcomm Electronics, perhaps many would not have signed the agreement.
The reason is simple, they rely on Qualcomm Electronics to survive in Silicon Valley town. If Qualcomm Electronics collapses, upstream companies won't be able to sell their raw materials, and downstream companies won't be able to acquire Crystal Chips and other products.
Although Zhang Menglong offered a substantial amount of money, risking their long-term development for this sum seemed a loss they could hardly accept.
"Those owners are right here in our company now. What do you suggest we do now?"
Such as Crystal Chip, which Silicon Moonlight was currently unable to produce. Although they had heard rumors that Zhang Menglong was about to initiate some independent R&D, the long period such R&D required meant that reaching the world-leading level would be impossible in less than three to five years. Were they expected to wait three to five years?
"I know, if I told you all that Huaxia has developed high-performance chips, you definitely wouldn't believe me!" Zhang Menglong candidly said, "But I'm willing to enter into a wager agreement with you. Whatever Qualcomm Electronics can provide you, we can provide the same, and if we fail, I'll compensate you as much as your annual turnover!"
"Really?" The bosses' eyes lit up one after another.
"Mr. Zhang, it's not that we don't trust you, but if it really comes to that, do you really have enough money to compensate us?"
"Yes, we know you're extremely wealthy, but these downstream companies collectively have an annual turnover of over a hundred billion, a massive industry scale. We can't afford to gamble!"
"After all this talk, you're just afraid I don't have the money, aren't you!" Zhang Menglong laughed.
The bosses immediately bowed their heads in silence, tacitly agreeing with Zhang Menglong's statement.
"This is also human nature," Zhang Menglong said, "To prove that I have the financial capability, would you like to check my balance?"
Zhang Menglong took out his phone, "Why not appoint a trustworthy representative from among you to check."
"Mr. Brian, you run the biggest business among us, you go!"
"Yes, Mr. Brian, we trust you!"
The crowd immediately nominated a man in his fifties.
"Alright," the businessman named Brian stepped forward, "Mr. Zhang, I will take the liberty of being this witness."
Zhang Menglong recited a series of account numbers, "Mr. Brian, this is one of my savings accounts at Swiss Bank. You can check it directly."
"Okay." Brian entered Zhang Menglong's account information into a computer, then authenticated it using Zhang Menglong's identity information.
"No problem, this is Mr. Zhang's savings account," Brian said as he communicated with others, while he clicked the "check balance" button.
When he saw that string of numbers, Brian's facial expression instantly froze.
"Mr. Brian, have you checked it?"
"Mr. Brian, how much balance is there in Mr. Zhang's account?"
"Mr. Brian, please speak up!"
Brian swallowed and counted the digits again, "One, ten, hundred, thousand... trillion, quadrillion... a total of over twenty-five trillion..."

"Twenty-five trillion US dollars?"
"No! It's twenty-five trillion Euros, and I didn't mention the extra three hundred billion Euros..."
