I Inherited 5,000 Years of Family Property-Chapter 442 440: How Is One Heavenly King Enough?

"This is outrageous!" Hua Ye smashed the marble table in front of him with a slap of his hand.

Outsiders all thought that Hua Ye was just an ordinary person with an extraordinary background, but in fact, he was also a psychic with considerable strength!

To Hua Ye, 10 billion, although not a huge number, was definitely not a small amount either. He believed that helping Hua Yuhan win the championship should cost at most a few hundred million.

But unexpectedly, a Zhang Menglong appeared out of nowhere, directly going all-in against him!

"Has anyone investigated what the background of this Zhang Menglong really is?" Hua Ye asked. It used to be impossible to figure out who this person was. Now that they knew it was Zhang Menglong, it would be ridiculous not to find any information about him, right?

"The information about this Zhang Menglong is very complicated!" the middle-aged man beside Hua Ye said. "Before September last year, Zhang Menglong was just a very ordinary person, with an average family and education. But after October, he seemed to have undergone a complete transformation."

"What about his parents?"

"According to the information we've gathered, Zhang Menglong's parents are both from a working-class background."

"Working class? What a joke! Am I, Hua Ye, going to be smashed to death by a working-class person's money?" he asked through gritted teeth. Was there some misunderstanding about the working class?

"But after October, we couldn't find any information about Zhang Menglong's parents at all, not even any relatives. It's as if he's the only one in this world."

"Is that even possible?" Hua Ye's eyes widened. "It seems his family background is just a facade, to have escaped the intelligence network of Longxia..."

"What about their assets?" Hua Ye continued to inquire.

"Based on our estimates, the personal net worth of all the enterprises with Zhang Menglong as a shareholder or legal person exceeds three trillion US dollars!"

"Three trillion?" Hua Ye's body trembled slightly. Even their entire Hua Family didn't have much more in total assets than that.

"That's just an estimate," the middle-aged man continued, "of these assets, his fixed assets account for over two trillion, and of the remaining nearly one trillion US dollars, just the money displayed in his Qingqiu Country bank accounts far exceeds this amount. We have every reason to suspect that this is just the tip of the iceberg of his total wealth!"

"How could he possibly be so rich? Is his family printing money?" Hua Ye had to admit that competing in financial strength with Zhang Menglong was truly like hurling eggs against a rock!

Zhang Menglong could easily throw out several hundred billion US dollars without even blinking, while he, Hua Ye, was not yet the confirmed successor of the Hua Family, and even if he were, their family's liquid assets couldn't match several hundred billion US dollars.

For Hua Ye at the moment, spending a few billion dollars was enough to cause him trouble within his family.

Even if he had put down 5 billion US dollars to gamble with Zhang Menglong, considering that Zhang Menglong could casually throw out a few hundred billion dollars in America to subsidize workers, would it be strange for him to pull out 300 billion dollars to suppress Hua Yuhan?

"Zhang Menglong, I'll remember you!" For the first time, Hua Ye felt a profound sense of helplessness when competing financially with someone.

"Young master, do we continue betting?" the middle-aged man asked.

"Continue? Continue your ass! What do I have to bet against him? My life? Our entire family can't outbid him, aren't you just rubbing it in?" Unable to vent his anger elsewhere, he lashed out at the middle-aged man beside him, showering him with a torrent of abuse.

...

Lu Yiyao's final vote count stopped at one hundred million, and Hua Yuhan's numbers didn't move again. That situation lasted for three whole days!

Everyone knew that Hua Ye had lost!

"Another one killed by President Zhang's money."

"Alas, such precious youth, why did they have to show off against President Zhang?"

"Take him away, next!"

"This is the consequence of challenging President Zhang's pocket change with family assets. Please take note, ladies and gentlemen!"

This farce gradually subsided among the enthusiastic discussions of netizens.

On the seventh day, the program team directly announced the results of the first round of public performances, and although the audience already knew what the outcome was, a large number of people still gathered in front of the live broadcast.

"Let's congratulate the first-place winner of the performance, Lu Yiyao from the Jiangnan Music College!!"

"6666, worthy of being Zhang's woman, that singing voice is incredible!"

"I'm a music student myself, and her singing not only has our Huaxia's ornate style, but I also sensed the high notes of Western opera and pop singing. Although they're fused together, it has a strong personal touch, super impressive!"

"Should her highest note in the performance already be the ceiling for sopranos?"

"Where are you putting my world's highest note, Wu Qiang? My high note is higher than anyone else's in the world!"

"Hahaha, look at Hua Yuhan's expression."

"That's not just a Mask of Pain, that's practically a 'death mask'—a major social death scene right there."

"Wasn't it good being in second place? Why mess with vote rigging, and now complete self-sabotage, huh?"

"Gotta say, her professional skills are still very strong, and those votes were all brushed up by her brother, Hua Ye. A brother wanting to boost his sister is pretty normal, right?"

"Can this even be whitewashed? How much, count me in."

...

The recording of the program continued, and Hua Yuhan had no intention of withdrawing from the competition. Since she couldn't win by playing dirty, she would let the stage do the talking!

The second round of public performances would take place in half a month, and within this half month, half of the contestants would be eliminated, leaving only 30 members to advance to the next round of performances.

The rules of this performance were very interesting. Everyone would offer an individual stage, and they could invite anybody to participate. Theoretically, one could even invite various big names to support their act.

As everyone knows, the pulling power of a big shot is very strong. If one manages to invite a super-popular star, the fan effect they bring can be terrifying.

At this point, it all depended on how strong the personal connections of the contestants and the energy of their backing companies were.

"Brother, we can't afford any problems this time." For Hua Yuhan, this performance was her chance to turn things around.

"Don't worry, this time we'll do it above board," Hua Ye said, "Zhang Menglong is just rich, but having money doesn't mean he can do everything. Right now, the entertainment industry's top influencers are just a few people—Wang Zhan, Xiao Yibo, Suspenders. None of the bosses of their agencies dare to offend the Hua Family, and the program team didn't say we could only invite one guest!"

Hua Yuhan immediately smiled. The combined fan base of these few people could nearly hold up half the sky among Huaxia's youth. Even though their fans didn't get along with each other, if they appeared on the same stage, they would have a common goal, benefiting herself in the end!

"I can handle the guest arrangements for you, but your performance must be perfect, understand?"

"Yes!" Hua Yuhan trembled with excitement, already looking forward to her own stage!

...

"Supporting guests?" On the other side, Zhang Menglong was also aware of the news, "Yiyi, how are you planning to go about it?"

"I want to try something different," Lu Yiyao said, "But I don't have many friends in the entertainment industry, so I'm afraid I'll need your help with the singing guest."

"What's this 'help' or 'no help'? Since when have you been so formal with me?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "But if we're going to do this, we have to make it shockingly good. That Hua Yuhan, if she wants to show off, we'll slap her down with a single blow!"

"You're not going to invite some big king of singing to support me, are you?" Given Zhang Menglong's style, such a possibility was quite large.

"Of course not," Zhang Menglong shook his head, "How could one king of singing be enough?"
