Ten million Dragon Dollars!
It was double the five million Dragon Dollars that Quentin donated!
“I’m donating ten million Dragon Dollars to help improve the lives of the poor in the slum. It’s also to show you that this donation is purely to address the slum’s issues. It’s not me trying to make money out of this. With my ten million, the total amount we’ve raised is… 274 million dollars…”
274 million dollars!
Hearing the figure, the guests gasped in unison!
Even for the influential families and the super-rich, 274 million dollars was not a small amount!
Sean continued saying, “You can look up the donation amount and details of how it will be spent. The donations and their use are completely open and transparent. If you don’t believe me, you can go to the mayor’s residence and check with Mayor Quentin.”
Hearing Sean’s words, everyone present was convinced.
The donations were completely open and transparent, much better than some foundations in the name of charity. If all charities were as open and transparent as Sean, people would not mind showing some kindness.
Then Sean smiled and glanced at Elijah, Cole, and Dylan standing at the back.
Elijah, Cole, and Dylan’s stomachs dropped when they saw Sean’s meaningful eyes. For some reason, all three of them suddenly had an intense bad feeling!
Sure enough, Sean’s next statement shocked everyone in the room.
“Other than Mayor Lewis and I, the largest donors were the weapons dealer, Mr. Ronald Townsend, followed by the head of the Montana family, Monica Montana, the head of the Wosh family, Mr. Benedict Wosh, who’s also the director of Dorodo First People’s Hospital. The fourth and the fifth are…”
“The above five are the largest donors. They should be given encouragement and special treatment!”
“You may not know that Mayor Lewis and I have laid down basic guidelines and drawn up detailed plans for the slum. From tomorrow onward, all factories, coal mines, metal mines, and companies in the slum will be closed for rectification. Those that will cause pollution to the environment and whose staff welfare isn’t up to standard have to cease operation…”
“But don’t worry. After closing for rectification, the improved factories and companies can continue to operate as usual. And those who have just donated more than one million dollars, your company or factory in the slum will be given preferential treatment…”
“Dorodo will allocate a portion of the public fund to help you acquire machinery, improve sewage and purification facilities, and expand your business to offset some of the damage you might have suffered by improving employee benefits. If you have no business in the slum, you would get compensation or preferential treatment from the Dorodo government in the future!”
“Particularly, the top five donors will receive better and more generous treatment! Dorodo will fully support your factory and company’s development in the slum!
“Mr. Ronald Townsend is a weapons dealer and has no factories or companies in the slum. Mr. Townsend, we can sponsor you to build your own weapons factory in the slum if you want. Once your weapons factory is built, you will become Dorodo’s sole weapons manufacturer and establish direct cooperation with Dorodo’s city defense army.”
