I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Zhang Menglong's post was like a declaration of war, and as soon as the image was uploaded, the number of shares skyrocketed.

In Qingqiu Country, there were many Huaxia students, and in the past few days, the bank issues had caused considerable panic throughout Qingqiu Country. They even had to wait in long lines just to withdraw some living expenses from the banks.

Now they understood, it was all Zhang Menglong's doing! He had orchestrated the whole thing!

It was just a warm-up, and it almost caused Qingqiu Country's economic system to start collapsing. One could imagine what kind of catastrophic butterfly effect would occur if those hundreds of trillions of Qingqiu Currency were actually removed from the banks.

"He really has the ability to disrupt a country's economic system!" someone finally realized this terrifying fact. A single bank had deposits amounting to 730 trillion Qingqiu Currency. It was unlikely Zhang Menglong only had this one bank account in Qingqiu Country, right?

A person like him wouldn't possibly only have deposits in Qingqiu Bank, would he? Neighboring Island Country, and America across the sea, it was conceivable that Zhang Menglong had similar massive funds in various banks worldwide.

Even if every country's situation was similar to Qingqiu Country, once Zhang Menglong really started acting decisively to withdraw those funds, the global currency system would undergo earth-shattering changes. He truly had the potential to cause a global economic storm!

"He's not joking; he really can do it!" Realizing this, some began to panic, especially those economists who had been most critical; some even secretly deleted their previous aggressive statements against Zhang Menglong.

Once Zhang Menglong had dealt with Qingqiu Country, perhaps they would be next. Zhang Menglong wouldn't need to do anything; he just had to walk in, throw his bank card on the table, and the economy of that country could be destroyed!

With this scenario unfolding, banks all around the world suddenly felt deep panic. They began frantically checking their internal bank accounts.

Then they discovered a terrifying fact: nearly half the banks worldwide had at least one mysterious account.

These accounts, with extremely high privileges, had been inactive for short periods of ten years and up to seventy or eighty years!

Finally, some bravely risked investigating these accounts, only to find the account details had become confidential. There was almost no information about the account holder available; the only note on the accounts was that they were perpetually barred from being closed, and all of them pointed to one country: Huaxia!

The banks had never been worried about these accounts, but the incident at Qingqiu Bank had certainly awoken them with a slap. Bolding they speculated if these age-old accounts belonged to Zhang Menglong's ancestors…

An economic crisis could truly have been orchestrated by Zhang Menglong's grandfather! He wasn't lying; he wasn't speculating; he was merely stating a fact, nothing more!

"Issue an urgent notice immediately, forbidding provocation against Zhang Menglong!"

"Delete everything, delete it all. If anyone still doubts Zhang Menglong, they should be charged with treason!"

"You idiots, what kind of economists are you? Your studies are worthless! How could such a huge issue go unnoticed? Is the economic history you studied all crap?"

"By slandering Zhang Menglong like this, do you want our country's economy to collapse?"

Top officials from various countries were already terrified by the incident in Qingqiu Country. Although Qingqiu was a small state, its economy was fairly developed, and they might not be able to withstand such a "bank card warning" either.

…

"Idiots! What have these people done?" In an office of Qingqiu's Ministry of Finance, a middle-aged man slammed down his ashtray, "These useless fools, what kind of monster have they provoked?"

Almost all the directors and executives of the major banks in Qingqiu Country were gathered in this office, and, facing the middle-aged man, each of them bowed their heads, not daring to say a word. Even though it wasn't a country under a monarchical system, the authority of the officials was so profound that even the bank directors dared not express any discontent.

This middle-aged man was Su Zhihe, the core figure currently in control of Qingqiu's fiscal authority.

After decades of effort, Su Zhihe had reached this position, and it was soon time for a change of administration. During his term, Qingqiu's economic development had seen pleasing progress. If handled properly, this time he might be able to advance further and strive for a higher position!

But in just these past two days, he had almost hit rock bottom. First was the nationwide sharp decrease in bank deposits, followed by the stock market crash the next day. In just two days, the country's economy had actually fallen into a slump.

If Zhang Menglong had really withdrawn the money from those banks, they… no, it was a fundamentally flawed proposition, because the combined cash deposits of banks nationwide couldn't cover the amount of money Zhang Menglong was demanding!

"Representative Su, what should we do now?" asked the bank chairmen, pale-faced, unable to think of any solutions to handle the matter.

"Representative Su, we simply cannot come up with so much cash, even if we started all the national printing presses together, it wouldn't be possible to print so much money so quickly!"

"The printing presses must not be started!" Su Zhihe said, "If we really started them, our economy would be doomed. Without five or even ten years, we simply couldn't recover! Given the current rapidly heating up international competition, in so many years, we would already have become the poorest country!"

"Then what should we do? Are we not going to pay?"

"Impossible, if we don't pay, there would be riots across the nation. Forget the economy dragging us down, the angry people themselves would destroy us first!"

"This won't work, that won't work, so what exactly should we do? Representative Su, please think of a solution quickly!"

"At this time, the only solution is to make him give up on withdrawing the money."

"How could that be possible? Zhang Menglong has targeted our country's economy this time. He won't leave until he has crushed our economy!"

"That's because he currently harbors resentment, and his true purpose isn't to destroy our country's economy or even to cause an international economic crisis. He just wants people to believe that he has the capability, to silence those who doubt him, and to teach those who have openly insulted him a lesson!"

"So we..."

"What we need to do now is to soothe his emotions. Whatever his conditions are, as long as they aren't too excessive, we should agree unconditionally. Once his mood improves, once he's satisfied and calms down, he will naturally return home."

"Are we, the grand Qingqiu Country, supposed to bow and scrape to a little brat from Huaxia?"

"Liu Gaoren, you shut up. If you have the capability, then come up with a better solution!" Su Zhihe was already beside himself with anger. "At this time, is face more important, or is the future more important?"

"Call him now!" Su Zhihe said to the president of Qingqiu Bank, "You have his contact information, you do it. Invite him over to talk!"

"This... alright…" Piao Guanzhi hesitantly dialed Zhang Menglong's number.

Zhang Menglong had stayed up playing games with Lu Yiyao until the early hours last night, and now it was past nine, but he was still deep in sleep.

"Mr. Zhang, you have a phone call!" In a daze, Zhang Menglong heard Hong Yi's voice.

"Who is it! Fuck, can't you let a person sleep?" Zhang Menglong cursed bluntly, "Don't you know I have a temper when I wake up? Idiot, fuck off!"

"It's President Piao from Qingqiu Bank, he said he represents their finance department and invites you to discuss the matter of the withdrawal. Do you have time this morning?" Hong Yi, however, was unfazed, as Zhang Menglong was not scolding her.

"Talk your sister, tell him, unless you get Lee Ji-eun to wake me up, I'm staying in bed all day today!"
