I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 226 - 224: The Bank Really is Owned by My Family
"He can’t pay? What joke are you making?" Wang Ling said, "Everyone who comes here has a net worth of at least a hundred million US dollars. Any random person could easily come up with 5 million euros in cash. How could he possibly not be able to pay?"
"Wanna bet?" Zhang Menglong said with a mischievous grin, "If he can come up with the 5 million euros later, I’ll stand on my head and eat three tons of shit, and then do a handjob to a five-speed fan!"
"Pfft! Hooligan!" Lu Yiyao gave Zhang Menglong a look of disdain.
"Damn, you’re betting that hard?" Wang Ling was suddenly shaken, "Aren’t you also a freeloader?"
"You’re farting, am I that kind of person?" Zhang Menglong said, "But if I win the bet, and he can’t come up with the 5 million euros, you have to eat all 257 tons of shit you owe in one go, plus wash dicks with sulfuric acid, how about that?"
"I’m not betting with you!" Wang Ling didn’t dare to take such a harsh bet, and seeing Zhang Menglong’s confident look, there must be a scheme. Zhang Menglong’s methods were always unpredictable, and he might indeed pull it off.
"But I do want to see how you’re going to do it!" Wang Ling said.
"Simple," Zhang Menglong smiled, "This auction trades in tens or even hundreds of millions of euros. They can’t possibly use cash to pay, right?"
"Of course, it’s all done through bank transfers, and through secret accounts at Swiss Bank," Wang Ling said, "Before anyone attends the auction, they need to register such an account for fund transfers."
"Hey, haven’t you bought a dozen things already? How do you not know how the payment works?" Wang Ling felt a bit annoyed.
"Do I need to spend my own money when I buy things?" Zhang Menglong raised an eyebrow, "I just tell the person arranged by Haigen the transfer amount, and he takes care of everything. I don’t even need to do it myself."
"Damn! Evil capitalist!" Wang Ling cursed enviously, "What’s your plan?"
"Swiss Bank, right?" Zhang Menglong’s glasses twirled, "Just get the bank to freeze his money. Then he won’t be able to transfer a penny, and thus, he won’t be able to pay, right?"
"Hahaha! You really dare to think big!" Wang Ling laughed, "Swiss Bank is a top-level bank in the world. It is said that at least a quarter of the world’s top rich people have all their money there. Who do you think you are, unless you own the bank!"
Suddenly, Wang Ling noticed an extraordinarily weird smile on Zhang Menglong’s face, one that seemed to tell him, "Brother, you have no idea what I’m capable of!"
"No... No way? Am I the clown?" Wang Ling made an exaggerated face.
"Sorry, this Swiss Bank, it seems it really is mine!" Zhang Menglong said with a slightly apologetic tone.
"Impossible, right? I remember that more than 70% of the bank’s shares are spread across several investment firms, with BlueShirt International Capital holding 12.5%, Carlyle Asia Ventures with 22.4%, and several other ventures that are well-known globally."
"Then perhaps you don’t know, most of the bosses of these venture firms are members of the Dorelas family, or their external affiliates, so the ventures’ shares actually belong to the Dorelas family, and what’s theirs is mine!"
"But aren’t you afraid such an incident at the bank would have some unpleasant repercussions?" Wang Ling said with concern, as if he would be enraged if the money in his bank account was suddenly unavailable, especially in such an important situation.
"Not a big issue!" Zhang Menglong waved his hand dismissively, "I have a hundred ways to make him swallow his own teeth, and he won’t be able to do anything about it!"
"Yeah right, you’re starting to sound like Ye Liangchen."
After saying that, Wang Ling suddenly got excited. Although getting pelted with money by Zhang Menglong wasn’t very satisfying, watching Zhang Menglong use money as a weapon was incredibly enjoyable. And if it was against someone he disliked, it was even better!
"Hurry it up! These scoundrels still dare to challenge us Huaxia people, let’s make him know what shame is!"
"Haigen!" Zhang Menglong dialed Haigen’s number, "Do you have a list of people who came to the auction?"
"If you need it, I can get it for you in one minute."
"No need, I’m not interested in who that person is," Zhang Menglong said, "Within a minute, find out the identity of the person in VIP room 7 and freeze his account at Swiss Bank."
"Got it, Mr. Zhang. I’ll take care of it immediately!"

"The guest in VIP room number seven bids 5 million Euros. Any higher offers? If not..."
"10 million Euros!" Before Emma could finish speaking, someone else immediately shouted a higher price!
"Hahaha, Huaxia has been too prominent in recent years. It’s time to suppress their momentum, lest they forget how they’ve been barely surviving." This was the master of VIP room number five, who was embracing a long-haired beauty and looking down at the entire venue with an attitude of having everything under control.
"Another one?" Zhang Menglong frowned, noticing that many people seemed eager to slap him in the face!

"Mr. Zhang, it is the Mars family from America bidding. Their economic strength ranks third in America, but they have a very good relationship with the military, and they have a Level Six mutant there."
"Well, now even the military is involved. What on earth are they desperate to grab this time?" Zhang Menglong couldn’t help but grow even more interested in the auction’s final item.
"20 million Euros! We from Italy are very interested in this Huaxia Imperial Jade Seal!"
"Hahaha, since that’s the case, we can’t be mute either. 25 million Euros!"
Besides the wealthy patrons from Kaibong’s Western Dream Palace, those followed by second-world humans began to bid recklessly. In their eyes, protected by second-world humans, they had no fear of Zhang Menglong’s threats!
"Wow, they’re all jumping out now!" The smile at the corner of Zhang Menglong’s mouth grew colder.
"Old Zhang, they don’t seem to be afraid of your threats at all. Could there be any danger? Should we not be so confrontational?" Wang Ling couldn’t help but express her concerns.
"Don’t worry, they are just a bunch of idiots," Zhang Menglong said, "There’s plenty of time to deal with them, but I’ll need Haigen to help me freeze a few more accounts!"
...
"One hundred and twenty-five million Euros, sold! Congratulations to the owner of VIP room number seven for successfully acquiring this Imperial Jade Seal! Please complete the payment within one hour, and we will deliver the Imperial Jade Seal directly to your VIP room after the payment is made."
"Wait a minute!" The young voice of Zhang Menglong came from VIP room zero.
"Mr. Zhang, the auction for this item has already concluded," Emma reminded him.
"I know," said Zhang Menglong, "but I just want to doubt whether this guest in number seven can actually come up with one hundred and twenty-five million Euros. If they can’t, then this item doesn’t belong to them."
This extreme auction had an interesting rule. At ordinary auctions, if the final buyer cannot pay, not only must they pay a fee as compensation, but the item would also be declared unsold.
However, here, if the highest bidder cannot pay, the item goes to the second-highest bidder, and so on until someone can pay, so there is no situation where an item goes unsold!
"Hahaha! What a joke. Are the young people nowadays really that arrogant? It’s just over a hundred million Euros, right?" Adenna from room seven said, "Miss Emma, I can make the payment now, no need to wait for an hour."
"That would be best, of course," Emma said with a smile.
"Make the transfer!" Adenna instructed his accompanying assistant.
"Yes, Mr. Adenna." The assistant took out a laptop and began the payment process, but a moment later, his expression suddenly froze.
"Sir... Sir..."
"What is it?" Adenna said impatiently.
"Your... Your personal account at the Swiss Bank has been frozen!"
