I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Hahaha, what a huge joke," Michel finally couldn’t hold back his laughter, "Your Huaxia game engines, it’s not personal, but all company’s engines are trash, and most of your games are not even original!"

"Well, you’ve learned our Huaxia clichés quite well," Zhang Menglong remained calm inside, "But you severely underestimate me, Zhang Menglong. However, I must warn you, if you later want the rights to represent our Huaxia games, the cost will be substantial."

"Ridiculous!" Michel said contemptuously, "Your games will never be as sophisticated as ours. No foreign players will buy into your games, nor will anyone play games from your cheat-developing nation again."

"Nice hat trick," Zhang Menglong had seen Michel’s shamelessness by now, "Let me remind you, Michel, if you want to represent our Huaxia games by then, I think you’d have to give at least 51% of your shares, I might reluctantly consider it."

"Idiot!" Michel hung up on Zhang Menglong’s call directly, Zhang Menglong’s confidence simply seemed irrational to him.

"Boss, is your hand okay?" Michel’s assistant hurriedly asked.

"Nonsense, what do you think? Don’t just stand there; arrange a car to the hospital!" Michel barked.

"Wait, go and get the PR team to do something first, hire a batch of Huaxia internet mercenaries to consolidate the story of Zhang Menglong developing cheats, I want him ruined!"

"Yes, boss!"

...

"Over 90% of the world’s gaming companies jointly announce a boycott against Huaxia players!"

"Numerous popular games shut down Huaxia’s access to international servers."

"Shocking, the mastermind behind this ’Era Overlord’ incident is..."

"Informed sources reveal, the development of the cheats may be linked to the world’s richest man."

...

Under the manipulation of internet mercenaries, the whole incident began to ferment wildly.

"Fuck! Shameless bastards, it was the explosive company that started the trouble first, yet they’re boycotting our Huaxia players? What a joke!"

"Double standard dogs, boycott our games? We’ll boycott yours too!"

"Even if President Zhang did this, I still support him!"

Players who were aware of the backstory of the ’Era Overlord’ incident began to voice their support for Zhang Menglong. Although this approach wasn’t highly commendable, it did allow them to vent their anger, letting those people know that Huaxia players are not to be trifled with.

However, this was only about the game ’Era Overlord’. There are many games in Huaxia, many of which are hits, and the impact of this incident affected not just one or two games but a whole slew.

These issues certainly dealt the biggest blow to the players.

"Damn! I was almost at the top rank abroad, and now you block my account?"

"Fuck! I’ve spent hundreds of thousands on this game, and now you’re telling me I can’t log in?"

"What does ’Era Overlord’ have to do with our other games? Even if they were misbehaving first, couldn’t you think of another solution rather than resorting to such extreme measures?"

"Well now, nobody can play games!"

"Zhang Menglong is an asshole!"

"Being rich doesn’t make you right! I thought you were the pride of Huaxia, just a disgrace, a shame!"

...

The amount of abuse directed at Zhang Menglong was quite significant, but it’s hard to tell which were from internet mercenaries and which from real Huaxia players.

However, the majority of Huaxia players still stood unified with Zhang Menglong. This incident reminded them of the chip blockade, a similar coalition against Huaxia formed by other countries.

Facing the boycott, the primary target was Huaxia’s largest gaming company, Ma Hua’s Tengxun, though now most of the company’s profits came from social networks and self-developed games. Still, representing foreign games was a significant part of their revenue.

In just a few days, Tengxun Gaming’s daily turnover decreased by 20%.

The accumulated loss was significant. And that was just the direct loss. They also had to spend billions to compensate other gaming companies.

Wangyi Games was also severely affected by the incident, their losses were not much less than Tengxun’s.

...

But Zhang Menglong’s mood wasn’t affected by these things at all. He continued to eat and drink as if it had nothing to do with him.

"What does cursing the world’s richest man have to do with me, Zhang Menglong?"

"Mr. Zhang, Mr. Ma Hua and Mr. Ding Sanshi have invited you to dinner tonight. I wonder if you are available." Hong Yi asked Zhang Menglong, who was playing a domestic game with Lu Yiyao.

"Oh?" Zhang Menglong was not surprised at all. Although he was pleased by the situation, it had indeed caused a severe impact on the game industry of Huaxia, and their two companies had suffered the most.

"What’s their mood like?" Zhang Menglong asked playfully.

"They are fairly calm, but there is a bit of helplessness in their tone."

"Hahahaha," Zhang Menglong laughed. "Fine, tell them I’ll be on time. Just let me know the location."

...

"You say it later!"

"You say it!"

"No way, our company was previously redeemed by him, our Wangyi Music turned into Wangyi Footcare. What if he gets upset and our Wangyi Games turns into Wangyi adult products?"

The two gaming moguls of Huaxia were playing tai chi in a room, neither willing to directly convey their thoughts to Zhang Menglong.

"You know Zhang Menglong’s character as well. He has always despised evil, especially on such principled issues. In his view, there’s nothing wrong with his actions," Ma Hua sighed. "You know he already hates us capitalists; the issue with 996 hasn’t even cooled down yet!"

"He’s here!" The two heard some footsteps and immediately fell silent.

"Long time no see, gentlemen!" Zhang Menglong walked into the private room unapologetically and sat down.

He calmly picked up the menu and ordered a few dishes. "Order whatever you want, I’m paying today!"

Ma Hua and Ding Sanshi were speechless. Today was obviously their organized dinner, how had Zhang Menglong taken over as the host?

"Gentlemen, why aren’t you two smiling? Is there something making you unhappy?" Zhang Menglong asked mischievously.

Nonsense, it’s more than being unhappy, we’re about to lose our minds, okay?

Though Ma Hua and Ding Sanshi had countless curses in their minds, they couldn’t do anything but endure. Their companies were publicly listed, and given Zhang Menglong’s financial strength, he could easily crush them.

"Mr. Zhang, stop pretending you don’t know," Ma Hua finally spoke up. "You developed the cheat, didn’t you?"

"I did," Zhang Menglong admitted generously. He was bold enough to acknowledge his actions.

"This time you were a bit impulsive. There were certainly better ways to handle the situation," Ding Sanshi said. "The impact on our gaming industry has been too severe, the losses for our two companies are... beyond words."

"It seems today you two came to settle scores?"

The two kept silent.

"Don’t you think Huaxia’s game development technology is good?"

The two were stunned for a moment, not expecting Zhang Menglong to throw out this question.

"Although domestically made game engines are constantly being updated, there is still a gap compared to international engines, which is why we have to rely on foreign technology and import many games."

"Are you content with that?"

Content? Of course not! If they had such engines, they could make better games and earn money from other countries, not just from their own people.

"So this isn’t a bad thing, but a miracle," Zhang Menglong said. "Isn’t it just a boycott of our games? Why can they boycott? Because our game quality isn’t good enough. If everyone was deeply engrossed in them, would a boycott be effective?"

"But our technology..."

"Do you think I can write such cheats, but can’t make better games?" Zhang Menglong revealed a meaningful smile. This was why he agreed to come today!

"Are you saying..." The two suddenly saw the surprise in each other’s eyes.

"The gaming industry needs a reshuffling!"
