The employee strike naturally affected the company's bosses and shareholders the most. They were simply baffled, the company had been operating just fine, and suddenly the employees started striking out of the blue. The employees demanded a wage increase and reduced overtime hours; these demands sounded reasonable at first listen, but upon closer inspection, none of their requested pay raises were below 50%! Do you think that's excessive? Want to negotiate? The employees at Qualcomm Electronics demanded a doubling of their salaries—our demand for a 50% raise isn't excessive, is it? Incredibly, the striking teams formed a sort of competition between themselves—what? You're asking for 50%? Then we demand 60%! You're asking for a decrease of 3 hours in the weekly working time? No way! We demand a reduction of 5 hours! What? You demand the annual bonus to be no less than two months' salary? Damn! We asked for less, only one month! Hurry up and go back to renegotiate with the boss! You demand the company should provide at least half a month's paid vacation leave for travel each year? Then we're not satisfied! We demand two such leaves a year! Soon, each factory became a tangled mess, and this was only the first day since Zhang Menglong announced the establishment of the "Worker's Fund Foundation." The strike frenzy was just beginning in this state, and if it continued for another day or two, the Continent might witness the largest strike in history! The bosses of those companies were both fearful and angry; in their eyes, this employee strike was ultimately caused by Qualcomm Electronics! If they hadn't offended Zhang Menglong, Zhang wouldn't have set up this "Worker's Fund Foundation," and their employees wouldn't have just started striking out of nowhere. Several company bosses angrily went to Qualcomm Electronics, desperately seeking explanations from the board members, even demanding that they reconcile with Zhang Menglong immediately, or else face a direct lawsuit in court! The entire capital market was in chaos, but surely the state couldn't just stand by and do nothing, right? The senior executives of Qualcomm Electronics immediately contacted the stakeholders who controlled those state-owned assets. However, they received a very desperate response, being told that Qualcomm Electronics must resolve this matter properly, and no assistance would be provided! Under pressure from all sides, the board of Qualcomm Electronics finally cracked. A few directors sat in the conference room with furrowed brows, looking like they had aged years in just a few days. "What on earth is Zhang Menglong capable of, that even the authorities can't handle him?" Mobai's lips trembled. He racked his brain but couldn't figure it out—does Zhang have connections at the top? But he's a Huaxia person! "Otto!" Zhang Menglong shouted. "Mr. Zhang, may I assist you with something?" Otto asked respectfully. "Qualcomm Electronics has state-owned capital in it, right? Now that the company is in this condition, why haven't the higher-ups shown any reaction?" Zhang Menglong believed Otto would know something. "Oh, rest assured, Mr. Zhang, we've already given them a heads-up. The higher-ups definitely wouldn't dare to let out a peep, and they would even proactively exert pressure on Qualcomm Electronics. As long as it doesn't involve leaking core industrial technologies, they should agree to any conditions you put forth unconditionally." "There's such a thing? How did you manage that?" Zhang Menglong asked curiously. "Mr. Zhang, it's just a difference in social systems. In capitalist countries, there's a high degree of freedom, and money is everything. If you have enough money, you can even compete for the presidency, no matter how obscure you are, and even win it!" "And you guys..." "We're not interested in governing the country!" Otto laughed, "However, now out of the 50 states in the nation, 37 state governors are the result of capital operation by our Duber family. If we so wish, we could replace those governors next year. In this continent, our Duber family's word is law!" "Impressive, impressive!" Zhang Menglong couldn't help but start applauding. "Oh, there's a call!" Temporarily disconnecting the video with Lu Yiyao, Zhang Menglong answered, "Hello, this is Zhang Menglong!" "Zhang... Mr. Zhang, hello, I... I'm Infelite..." "Oh, Mr. Infelite!" Zhang Menglong smiled with satisfaction. "You're a busy man; what brings you to waste time on a lowly Asian like me?" Infelite's complexion changed, Zhang Menglong's barbed manner was all too clear. "I'm here to apologize," Infelite took a deep breath, "Last time at Silicon Moonlight, it was my fault for insulting Huaxia people and I shouldn't have used those underhanded methods. Please, I beg your forgiveness." Discover hidden tales at My Virtual Library Empire "Forgive you? Hmph!" Zhang Menglong sneered, "It seems Mr. Infelite lacks sincerity. A phone call with a simple sorry is supposed to settle things? Better rethink your approach before coming to see me again!" Zhang Menglong hung up the phone with a snap, "I wondered how long you would last; you're giving in before I've even put in the effort!"
