I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Chapter 28 So it turns out that Unicorn Technology is mine too

The vast VIP venue had become utterly silent, nobody expected that Zhang Menglong, someone they interacted with day and night, had hidden his true capacity so deeply.

As of now, Lofitte Hotel's market value has already exceeded 40 billion US dollars, and to be called a boss by the general manager here would imply that Zhang Menglong was at least one of the major shareholders of this hotel, right?

In other words, was Zhang Menglong now a billionaire?

In comparison, what difference was there between Lu Xuchao, who had an annual salary of 800,000 and was considered young and promising in everyone's eyes just a moment ago, and a beggar?

Not just that, Zhang Menglong had also just footed the bill for the entire hotel's expenses today!

They were unclear about how much the hotel made in one night's revenue, but judging from the expenditure at their event, it wouldn't be less than several million, and even ten million would be considered normal. Zhang Menglong had reached such a lavish level of spending that describing it as "spending money like water" would not be an exaggeration!

"Zhang Meng... Mr. Zhang," those classmates who had just been saying that Zhang Menglong was freeloading immediately changed their expression, "Mr. Zhang, you've hidden it from us for so long, no, we must all have a good drink today!

"Sorry, I drove here today, so can't drink," Zhang Menglong bluntly refused. Although he could call for a designated driver, he didn't feel the slightest joy in drinking with a group of people he barely had any relationship with.

"Hahaha, that's true, you take a drink, and we'll down ours!" A few guys from the class chugged their wine, a bottle worth over a hundred thousand they had never tried before. Even if Zhang Menglong didn't grant them this courtesy, today's trip would not have been in vain.

"Zhang Menglong, what the hell is going on with you? Spill it!" Several roommates immediately surrounded Zhang Menglong, "Last time we went to your place, all you had was an apartment of 89 square meters and a Honda, so why are you so stingy? Last time, we were sent off with a meal of seafood that cost more than a thousand?"

"Yeah, you even said your dad was a fisherman, could it be that he has taken over the entire ocean farm?"

"And does your family really own hundreds of islands?"

"Alright, alright, will you give me a chance to explain?" Zhang Menglong hurriedly interjected.

"Okay, let's hear it, let's see how you spin this!"

"What if I say I also just found out how rich my family really is, would you believe me?" Zhang Menglong said with a look of grievance.

"This..." The three roommates looked at each other, indeed, Zhang Menglong's behavior over the past three years was really no different from ordinary people, eating at the cafeteria every day, with at most a weekend treat at the shopping center.

The shoes on his feet were typically just common items that cost two or three hundred yuan, and those AJ sneakers were fake. His everyday demeanor didn't resemble at all that of a child from a family with hundreds of millions in assets; he couldn't have been pretending all this time, could he? But if he were, he was playing the part way too convincingly, right?

Looking at Zhang Menglong now, although they didn't recognize the brand of his clothes, the pair of shoes he wore were Dior co-branded AJs, now priced at over 100,000, and even with money, they were hard to come by.

When Zhang Menglong came in earlier, they had thought the guy had bought another pair of Putian knock-offs, but now, even if those shoes were indeed Putian goods, as long as they were on his feet, they'd be the genuine article!

"You really hit the jackpot all of a sudden?" Xu Li asked for confirmation.

"Absolutely true, if I'm lying to you guys, I'll limit myself to just one small goal for next month's living expenses!"

"A billion?"

"Are you trying to attract hatred here, aren't you?"

"Damn it, you scoundrel, showing off your wealth right to our faces, let's take him down!"

"I'm sorry, I was wrong!" Amid the playful scuffles, a smile finally appeared on Zhang Menglong's face.

Compared to those who had a shift in attitude, all respectful after learning of his identity, it was his roommates that made him feel more at ease. Only they represented true friendship.

"Excuse me, which one of you is Mr. Zhang?" At this moment, a man who looked to be about thirty-five or thirty-six walked in, holding a glass of red wine. He was dressed in an expensive Armani suit, very much the image of a successful businessman.

"Director?" Lu Xuchao, who had been left to one side, suddenly seemed to have found his soul again.

"Hmm? Xuchao, what are you doing here?" The man seemed surprised.

"I'm here for a reunion with my college classmates," said Lu Xuchao, his face beaming. Despite being young, their director was one of the founding members of Unicorn Technology. Unicorn Technology's current market valuation had exceeded one hundred billion US dollars, and this director held shares in the company.

Although it wasn't a large percentage, he had already joined the ranks of billionaires. In his eyes, Zhang Menglong relied only on his family's background. This hotel was surely part of his family's assets. In comparison with his director, they were simply not on the same level.

"Let me introduce everyone. This is the marketing director of our Unicorn Technology. The entire Huaxia's strategic layout is his responsibility," Lu Xuchao said with pride, as if he were introducing himself. Even though this director had high expectations for him and was grooming him to be his right-hand man.

"I just heard the announcement, Mr. Zhang is picking up the tab for everyone today. We've all benefited from it, so I specifically came over to express my thanks. Xuchao, is this Mr. Zhang your classmate?" Xu Feng, who had the ability to be the marketing director of Unicorn Technology, naturally had exceptional social experience. This Mr.

Zhang was generous. Either he had personal energy, or his family background was extraordinary.

Making connections with such people could possibly lead to close business collaborations. Even if there wasn't a chance right now, it would become an important part of his network. That's why he personally came to meet Mr. Zhang.

"Hi, my name is Zhang Menglong," said Zhang Menglong as he walked out from the crowd. "Just call me by my name, 'Mr. Zhang' sounds like I'm in a period drama."

"You... not... you..." Xu Feng's expression suddenly froze, and his entire body seemed to lock in place.

Not long ago, their company had suddenly announced a significant transfer of shareholder shares. Most of the company's equity had been transferred to a new boss. As part of the leadership, after making inquiries, Xu Feng found out that the shareholders holding large amounts of shares were just representatives of the real mastermind behind the scenes!

And now, rumor had it that the boss intended to hand over all his assets to his younger generation. That's why he was reorganizing all his assets. Although the boss only appeared to own 37% of the shares on the surface, in reality, he controlled over 95% of the company's shares!

A piece of top-secret information circulated among the company's leadership: it was the picture and name of their trusted chairman. Although it was said that the chairman never interfered with the business, leaving most of the matters to the directors, Xu Feng still quietly took note of the chairman's information.

This chairman was a young man in his early twenties. At the time, Xu Feng found it hard to believe. How could such a young person have established such a colossal company?

And the person before him now matched the chairman who had never appeared in public.

"Mr. Zhang! It's an honor to meet you. I didn't expect to see you here!"

"Huh?" Zhang Menglong paused, "Do you know me?"

"Mr. Zhang, the ordinary staff and management of the company naturally do not know your true face, but Director Bai showed us your information."

"Wait, what information about me?" Zhang Menglong was getting more confused as he listened.

"Mr. Zhang, don't you know? The directors already transferred most of the shares back into your name. Although you don't manage the company, in reality, you are still our company's chairman."

"What? So Unicorn Technology is mine too?" Zhang Menglong finally understood what he was saying. "Damn, how much stuff did my dad arrange for me?"

"What? Mr. Zhang, you didn't know about this?"

"Er, I've just inherited the family's assets. I don't know how much stuff there is, so..."

Upon hearing this, the classmates who had just regained some composure from their shock all opened their mouths wide again in amazement.

So it turned out Zhang Menglong was actually the chairman of Unicorn Technology! They had actually asked Zhang Menglong to work in Unicorn Technology a moment ago? Asking a chairman to do a regular employee's job—they had committed such an absurd mistake!

They were wrong! Terribly wrong. Zhang Menglong was not just a billionaire; damn it, he was a hundred-billionaire!
