I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property

"Boss, this competition isn't officially organized," he had just checked. "It's a project applied for by a newly registered company in Huaxia, and they spent 200 million US Dollars to purchase the trademark from the Olympic Committee."

"200 million US Dollars?" Luo Huade was already astonished. This was practically a sky-high price for a trademark, and not something you could just buy with money. Such a trademark, probably countless eyes were fixed on it, and the people behind this company must have incredibly powerful means."

"Who is the owner of this company?"

"The world's richest man, Zhang Menglong!"

Luo Huade's expression immediately froze.

Originally, he didn't know much about this man from Huaxia, even after Zhang Menglong became the world's richest man. He had never paid attention to him.

But recently, Zhang Menglong had established the "Worker's Fund Foundation" in America, causing hundreds of factories to go on a large-scale strike, with some lingering effects even now. Even their programmers at Riot Games, who often worked overtime, almost joined the strike.

In such circumstances, Luo Huade couldn't possibly claim he didn't know who Zhang Menglong was!

He knew that the "Worker's Fund Foundation" had initially dumped 100 billion US Dollars in cash into it, and the very next day, they added another 100 billion US dollars. This immense wealth was practically comparable to that of a country!

200 billion US Dollars spent was one thing, but its use to sponsor strikes meant the money was basically irrevocable. Was this person really so rich that he was afraid of dying wealthy?

Not to mention a mere 1.7 billion US Dollars, even if he really continued to contend with Zhang Menglong, he estimated he could raise the prize money to 17 billion US Dollars! Moreover, he absolutely couldn't come up with 1.7 billion US Dollars for this prize, he didn't even have the qualifications to gamble with Zhang Menglong!

But recently, Zhang Menglong had established the "Worker's Fund Foundation" in America, causing hundreds of factories to go on a large-scale strike, with some lingering effects even now. Even their programmers at Riot Games, who often worked overtime, almost joined the strike.

In such circumstances, Luo Huade couldn't possibly claim he didn't know who Zhang Menglong was!

He knew that the "Worker's Fund Foundation" had initially dumped 100 billion US Dollars in cash into it, and the very next day, they added another 100 billion US dollars. This immense wealth was practically comparable to that of a country!

200 billion US Dollars spent was one thing, but its use to sponsor strikes meant the money was basically irrevocable. Was this person really so rich that he was afraid of dying wealthy?

Not to mention a mere 1.7 billion US Dollars, even if he really continued to contend with Zhang Menglong, he estimated he could raise the prize money to 17 billion US Dollars! Moreover, he absolutely couldn't come up with 1.7 billion US Dollars for this prize, he didn't even have the qualifications to gamble with Zhang Menglong!

"Boss, what should we do then?"

"Don't panic," Luo Huade was a veteran in the business world for over a decade, "we still control the rights to the event. No matter how high their prize money or how grand their event, as long as they dare to hold it, a single lawsuit from us could bankrupt them!"

The secretary's eyes darted around anxiously. Bankrupt them? Do you know how much assets they actually have? One trillion? Two trillion? Five trillion or maybe ten trillion? And the amount is definitely in US Dollars.

"But boss," the secretary asked worriedly, "it was because Qualcomm Electronics' executives offended Zhang Menglong that he caused such a significant uproar. Although our company is dominant in the gaming industry, we are far smaller than Qualcomm Electronics, more than ten times smaller. If they use the same tactics against us..."

"Moreover, I have also heard about some of Zhang Menglong's history," she continued. "His most common strategy against his opponents is to buy their shares or support their competitors, defeating them from a commercial standpoint. I'm worried..."

"You don't need to worry needlessly," Luo Huade said confidently, "the gaming industry is different. There's hardly any company out there whose games could compete with ours. Even if there were, our players have been conditioned by the market; getting them to switch to a similar game would be extremely difficult."

"Also, our company isn't listed, he can't use any acquisition methods."

"And one more thing," even Luo Huade was somewhat shocked as he spoke, "because of the recent strike incident, America directly amended its labor strike law. It won't be so easy for employees to go on strike anymore!"

For a country to change its law because of a foreigner was an exceedingly rare occurrence, Luo Huade was dumbfounded when he first heard about it.

"Old Zhang, we've already offered a two hundred million US dollar licensing fee, and Riot Games still hasn't agreed!" Wang Ling had thought that would make them cave, but it seems he had underestimated Luo Huade's tenacity.

When Tengxun acquired the LPL broadcast rights back then, they only spent eighty million US dollars; two hundred million was already a very high price.

"They really are in their death throes," Zhang Menglong laughed.

"What should we do? If they bite down hard and we hold the competition without the official license, there could be legal issues."

"No worries, let the gamers take care of the game stuff," Zhang Menglong said as he opened Weibo and posted an update.

"Sorry everyone, because Riot Games has been delaying giving us the rights to host the competition, this Esports Olympics might not be able to include League of Legends, but we will keep trying. We hope everyone won't do anything extreme to attack Riot Games."

"Damn, what do they mean, eh? They can't pull together the prize money, so they use this tactic to stop our competition?"

"That's so shameless, right?"

"Hahaha, President Zhang, can't you speak something more down-to-earth? Do you think we are fools who can't understand?"

"Okay, we get it. We definitely won't do anything extreme, nor will we attack Riot Games!"

"Guys, I just created a group, those who know, know!"

That night, as usual, Zhang Menglong planned to practice his Three Elements Unite Internal Cultivation Methods, but suddenly his phone vibrated several times; he received a few screenshots from Wang Ling.

"Hahahaha!" Seeing the content of the screenshots, Zhang Menglong couldn't help but laugh; Summoner's Rift had turned into a complete troll fest, the players' IDs were more show-offy than the next.

"Luo Huade I Am Your Dad 001."

"Poor Bastard Luo Huade."

"Riot Games Are Dogs 001."

"Luo Huade's Dad Soars to the Heavens."

Huaxia was already the biggest audience for League of Legends, and most of the game's players were young people, with a huge part being fans of Zhang Menglong!

That afternoon, group after group of one hundred to a thousand members was created just like that, a little conspiracy blooming throughout these groups.

Starting from 8 p.m., hundreds of thousands of players changed their ID nicknames, Summoner's Rift was filled with Luo Huade's 'fathers' and 'mothers' running everywhere.

"Damn! Dude, your name crosses a line. My ID is 'Luo Huade's Dad 0182', how come you're 'Luo Huade Entire Family Dies 2001'?"

"Guys, get him!"

"Hahaha, sorry, hurt a friendly there, I'll go change it quick!"

Meanwhile, far away in America, Luo Huade saw this report and trembled with rage, "They think they can force me to license with this tactic? No way, get these accounts banned right now!"
