I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

Having heard this, Ma Hua and Ding Sanshi's faces went from green to purple.

Even though they were rich, they were not as wealthy as Zhang Menglong.

Take Ma Hua for example, he once cashed in 22.4 billion US dollars from his shares in Tengxun over 10 years, which averaged 2.24 billion US dollars per year.

Spending ten or twenty billion a year, he might as well give up eating, drinking, and having fun just to sustain these 3000 routes—it wasn't a matter of doing something beneficial for himself or the country; it was purely charity!

Now they finally understood why Zhang Menglong could easily produce 500 billion US dollars to purchase his Tengxun shares. Their realm of living was simply not on the same level as his.

The lifestyle they aspired to had become the baseline in Zhang Menglong's eyes, and those billions spent yearly were just to maintain something they seldom used.

As both were in a daze, they arrived at the rooftop and indeed, a helicopter was already preparing for takeoff.

"Is this an AW139 helicopter?" Ma Hua, with his broad knowledge, recognized the model of the helicopter. "I saw Bezos arriving in one of these when I went to America for a university lecture exchange."

Ding Sanshi quickly checked the price of the helicopter, which had a market reference price of 106 million yuan.

"A helicopter worth over a hundred million, President Zhang really is willing to invest," Ding Sanshi hastily flattered. His own private helicopters, although numerous, did not cost more than 20 million for the most expensive one, and he had felt the pinch at that time.

Zhang's single helicopter was equivalent to all of his own.

"A billion is just an empty shell," Zhang Menglong laughed, "Come on, it's still about fifteen minutes away."

Zhang Menglong boarded the helicopter.

It was only when they entered the aircraft that they understood what Zhang Menglong meant by "an empty shell."

Inside the helicopter, world-famous paintings hung on the walls, and antiques were displayed. It was likely that the value of these items combined could buy the helicopter several times over.

"Never mind, I'll just keep my mouth shut!" Ding Sanshi resignedly seated himself on the sofa.

"I'll keep silent too. Being friends with President Zhang is just too tiring," Ma Hua said helplessly, "I have been working my whole life, and even when I was the richest man in the world, I never felt so powerless."

In front of those people, although Ding Sanshi and Ma Hua and the others were a notch below, the gap in their wealth was visible. The difference between his assets and Bezos's was less than four times.

Even though that difference was still over a hundred billion US dollars, it seemed like a goal he could pursue in his eyes.

But Zhang Menglong's assets were simply too despairing. Forbes's estimate of his assets was 10 trillion US dollars, which was 2000 times his wealth.

His assets were capped at 50 billion US dollars, hahaha, 2000 times—and he bought a watch last year!

A mere fraction of Zhang's daily travel expenses already exceeded his annual net income, how could he compete?

Throughout the trip, the two sat on the sofa as quiet as obedient cronies, thankful that after about fifteen minutes, they reached their destination.

"Is this E-sports Town?" Both glanced out the window. This was an electronic industrial park in the southern part of Jiangnan City, where Zhang Menglong's lsp team was stationed.

Ever since his lsp team won the championship at the Esports Olympics, this town had truly taken off. E-sports industries throughout the country gradually began to shift towards this area, with many training teams setting up bases here. The lsp team's members were basically the honorary coaches for these teams.

Under Hong Yi's management, the town's catering and entertainment, esports peripherals, real estate, and other industries also began to move in. Without investing too much in other aspects, Zhang Menglong earned a tremendous fortune once again.

"President Zhang, you didn't bring us here just to play games, did you?"

"Correct, I have come to take you to play games," Zhang Menglong said with a smile.

Zhang Menglong led them into the lsp club, where all the team members training there quickly approached upon seeing him.

After that Esports Olympics, Zhang Menglong had become an eternal god in the domain of esports, and whether it was former lsp members or the new ones, they all worshipped him.

As long as Zhang Menglong was around, the entire esports industry would be under his reign, as eternal as the long night.

"How's the game coming along?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"After months of continuous testing and modifications, we're unable to make any more groundbreaking changes," the team leader of ISP said.

"Hmm, if so many esports players haven't suggested any modifications, then there shouldn't be any major problems," Zhang Menglong nodded, "You guys keep at it, I'll take the two bosses for a tour."

"Yes!"

Zhang Menglong led Ma Hua and Ding Sanshi into a room plastered with posters of more than a dozen games. Although these games were unfamiliar to them, they could still tell that these included mainstream tower push games, shooting games, strategy games, fighting games, and more.

"Wanna give it a try?" Zhang Menglong offered them a pair of glasses that looked like a pair of real moxibustion instruments.

Both were gaming enthusiasts, and they could tell at a glance that this was a VR gaming device; they didn't hesitate to put it on.

Zhang Menglong started up the computer in front of him and directly launched a game called "Star Realm Bloodsong."

"Damn!"

The moment the game started, both of them fell to the ground and hastily removed the VR glasses.

"Hahaha, how was it, bosses? My game's pretty good, right?"

"Is this a game? Not just a VR video?"

The moment they entered the game, they were directly placed in a war-torn battlefield where a shell exploded right beside them.The immersive experience startled them both.

It was freakishly realistic!

"This is a game similar to PUBG; you two can keep trying it out."

Ding Sanshi and Ma Hua put the glasses back on once more.

With the mental preparation, they were much braver, but they soon realized that while this game's mechanics were similar to current shooting games, the experience was just too exaggerated.

You see, even though there are VR games available now, they are limited to those mini-games, at most some adventure games.

But this one actually puts you right on the battlefield!

Those whizzing bullets, the explosions, the scenery.

What surprised them the most was that they weren't holding anything in their hands. Yet in the game, the weapons, grenades, and even vehicles and other equipment felt as if they could be seen and touched!

Known that glasses can only simulate the visual senses, headphones simulate the auditory senses, but what about the tactile sense? How did he manage that? Moreover, their device had no headphones. Where was the sound they were hearing coming from?

"Hehe," Zhang Menglong said with a mysterious smile, "I've incorporated a very unique technology into this VR glasses, called 'Omnitouch Technology,' which simulates all senses on your body!"

"How is that possible?"

"But you just experienced it," Zhang Menglong wasn't surprised at their reaction at all.

The so-called "Omnitouch Technology" is actually a type of neural simulation technology. The high-tech design documents that Zhang Menglong had given to Professor Zhou before contained this technology; it could even stimulate human nerves to manipulate external mechanisms. What was being used in the game was merely the surface of this foundational technology.

Of course, at the normal rate of development, this technology wouldn't emerge for another 8 to 10 years.

"What do you think the market response would be like if this game were released?" Zhang Menglong asked.

"It'd be sensational! Absolutely revolutionary!" Ma Hua said.

Ding Sanshi: "All I want to say right now is 6666."

Zhang Menglong: "Keep it simple, no overpraising."
