I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"How is it, tastes good, right?" Zhang Menglong passed a cup of pomegranate juice to Lu Yiyao.

"At least you remember!" Lu Yiyao took the cup of pomegranate juice, the unique taste fluttering her eyelashes slightly, "How is this pomegranate juice made? I've never tasted such delicious pomegranate juice before!"

"Nothing special about the method, it's all natural pomegranate juice," Zhang Menglong said, "This is from the blood pomegranates of the Ural Mountains, which can only thrive at very high altitudes. I had someone airship them over this morning."

"Airship? Just for a few pomegranates?" For a moment, Lu Yiyao felt as if she were drinking money rather than juice, estimating the air shipping cost must be many times higher than the price of the pomegranates themselves.

"It also depends on who it's for. If it's something you like, even if it's from under the Antarctic ice cap, I can dig it up for you!"

"So slick!" Lu Yiyao playfully tapped on Zhang Menglong's shoulder twice. "By the way, don't you think that what you did today seemed impressive, but actually let those Europeans earn quite a bit?"

"Are you saying I spent 500 billion to buy those paintings, just to send them packing?" Zhang Menglong retorted.

Lu Yiyao nodded, "Never mind whether these 500 billion US dollars were worth it, but this money ended up in the hands of the Europeans. If it had been used for construction in our country, how much could it have helped people here!"

"Don't call me a Holy Mother!" Lu Yiyao pointed at Zhang Menglong emphatically.

"Hahaha, do you think I, Zhang Menglong, would ever take a loss?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "It might sound incredible, but 80% of the people in Europe work directly or indirectly for me, and a large portion of many countries' fiscal revenues find their way into my pocket."

Watching Lu Yiyao's astonished expression, Zhang Menglong continued, "This 500 billion US dollars just moved from one of my pockets to another; I can take it out anytime."

"But this..."

"Let's put it this way, if you're shearing a million from them annually, would you mind tossing them ten dollars occasionally?"

"This analogy actually leaves me speechless." Initially, Lu Yiyao wanted to say more, but after hearing this analogy, she realized that 500 billion US dollars really meant little to Zhang Menglong, and it seemed like he could garner a thousandfold return from those European countries annually.

As for where these profits originated, she probably couldn't figure it out even if she racked her brain.

"Forget it, as long as you're happy, I'll keep quiet." Arguing with Zhang Menglong about money was a sure way to end up choking oneself.

...

If young people today eat a meal, their phones start eating before they do, all the more so on such a once-in-a-century occasion.

This square had gathered cuisines from around the world—Western, Japanese, various Huaxia styles of food—and all from the top-level restaurants. The square had almost become a gourmet plaza.

Friends circles, microblogs, and various platforms were already flooded with all sorts of videos and photos.

"You might not believe it, but today I freeloaded a meal off Zhang Menglong!"

"This is the first time I've eaten king crab to the point of bursting, I can't take anymore."

"Wuuu, I was supposed to go to an exhibition today, it's all my boyfriend's fault, I'm going to hit him now."n/ô/vel/b//jn dot c//om

"Damn! I was just inside, I thought this meal would at most be some cheap takeaway for us."

"Upstairs, are you doubting my boss Zhang's grandeur?"

"Your account is gone!"

"Bros, quickly double-tap like crazy, I just downed this coconut as big as my head in one go!"

"Dude! Free food with a food stream, where's your shame?"

"How many food streamers did Zhang feed today?"

...

"Zhang Menglong, you've been shearing the wool of capitalists, but today someone came to shear yours! Look, so many people came just to freeload. Aren't you afraid of going broke?"

"Hahaha, if they can shear it off, that's their skill. It's just a few flecks at best," Zhang Menglong laughed, "Speaking of which, hurry and think about what we should eat tonight. Me being an Aquarius, I hate having to think about what to eat, talk about choice phobia."

"There are a lot of barbecue stalls near our school, I think that's a good choice!"

"Are you just looking out for your dorm mates' benefits?" Zhang Menglong teased, "You're not even my girlfriend yet, you don't have to save money for me."

"I won't become your girlfriend in the future either!" Lu Yiyao turned away from Zhang Menglong, but her expression clearly betrayed her.

"Buzz, buzz, buzz!" a jarring noise suddenly came from the sky.

"A helicopter? What's happening?"

"And in formation? Is it some military helicopter squad on a mission?"

"Such a large helicopter? Is this a transport helicopter?"

"Do you all remember the first time Zhang Menglong appeared online? It was because of that helicopter."

"Hahaha, could this fleet of helicopters be his again?"

"Hahaha, nonsense, there are at least dozens of helicopters, it must be

"...wait, why do I feel like that's actually possible?"

"Be confident, bro, discard the words 'it seems'!"

After more than an hour, facing such tempting food, everyone was by then fully satisfied, and this suddenly appearing helicopter fleet instantly attracted everyone's attention.

"What kind of helicopter is that? Quick, look it up!"

"I found it, that's the CH-40K helicopter, made in America, it only first appeared in front of the public in 2014!"

"A total of 24 helicopters, damn, are they going to war?"

"24 helicopters? How coincidental? I just found a news article from 2018, it said 24 helicopters of this model were decommissioned, purchased by a mysterious wealthy figure, and have never been seen since then!"

"Could this mysterious wealthy figure be Zhang Menglong?"

"It might also be one of his family elders, but it's almost certain these 24 helicopters are his."

"Damn, what kind of family background is this, how can they even procure such things?"

"You think just having money is enough for a private helicopter? You also need to expand the private airspace and routes, without the right connections you can't even think about it!"

"Move aside, move aside, it's about to land!"

Amid a flurry of noise, a large area in the center of the square was cleared, fortunately, the square was big enough, otherwise it wouldn't have been possible to accommodate so many helicopters, especially since the CH-40K is a large transport helicopter!

The doors of the helicopters opened one after another, and a group of well-trained, uniformly dressed individuals immediately disembarked, inside were piled up numerous boxes, some of which looked ancient, even somewhat tattered and decayed, apparently quite old.

"Holy shit! What's going on? Another group has arrived?" Before the awe of the helicopters had subsided, another convoy of vehicles drove into the square in front of the exhibition hall, twenty-some cars, easily several hundred people, huh?"

"What exactly is going on here?"

A man in a suit got down from a car, looked around the entire square, and finally his gaze settled on Zhang Menglong, he immediately beamed with a smile, and jogged over to Zhang Menglong.

"Mr. Zhang, the items and people you arranged have all arrived, can we get started?"

"Let's begin!"

"Begin!" The middle-aged man signalled to everyone, the people from the cars immediately started gathering with various tools, while those who had come down from the helicopters began opening the boxes.

Some people curiously crowded around, but those people did not stop them.

"This...these boxes are all filled with paintings?"

"This box contains a sculpture!"

"This is a scroll of calligraphy!"

"Could it be that all these boxes contain art pieces?"

"Oh my god, how much is there? Thousands? Tens of thousands?"

"He...he wasn't bragging, he really has a collection richer than this art exhibition!"

"This is indeed a true peak art exhibition!"
