1884 All Stand Up

Joanna stood in front of people, with a huge screen behind her.

As she began to explain the purpose of her charitable foundation, the lights in the hall gradually dimmed and pictures appeared on the screen.

"I'm from the military, my husband is from the military, we both have military backgrounds."

"We know better than anyone else that this is a special group."

"Many people don't know much about us or them. In fact, this group is far less than people's superficial understanding of them."

"Soldiers are human beings too. They can be scared, get hurt, and need help!"

“That’s why it was established!”

"These sergeants went to a strange land and fought against a group of vicious enemies so that we could enjoy a good life in the Federation."

"There's very little we can do for them, but there's a lot..."

She gave some examples.

The picture on the screen changed. On a busy street, a man who had lost his legs sat on a newspaper on the side of the road.

He was wearing a dirty knitted hat and a woman's coat, shivering in the cold wind.

He looked to be thirty years old and looked very embarrassed. The beard he left behind had not been washed and some of it was clumps and stuck together.

There was a cardboard in front of him with the words "Please be kind, I need help" written on it, and there was a small tin box next to it.

The paint on the outside of the tin box used to hold biscuits has been damaged.

"He's only twenty-one."

People's eyes once again focused on Joanna, who narrated a tragic story in a very calm tone.

"He was once a member of the federal soldiers, but lost his legs due to shelling on the Amelia battlefield."

"The doctors tried every means to get him back from the hands of death."

"Due to serious injuries, he left the military and returned home."

"Due to lack of money, his father became distracted at work and died unexpectedly."

"And his father also chose to commit suicide one night because of the successive blows."

"The factory paid 8,000 yuan in compensation, but there won't be much money left after less than a year."

"Now his only income is begging, and he also needs to bear the cost of treatment that he can almost no longer afford!"

The calm voice left people speechless.

Joanna shook her head, "I'm not blaming anyone. In fact, the military also provided appropriate measures. They borne all the medical expenses."

"But there are always costs that are beyond the military's responsibilities, and they're not cheap either."

"He doesn't dare to spend any money because he doesn't have any income!"

"This shouldn't happen!"

Then the faces started to switch again and again. Young faces who were roughly the same but had different tragic lives constantly refreshed people's understanding of these groups.

The eyes of every young man are empty and lackluster. They have lost not only their hope for life, but also their hope for the Federation!

"This is my purpose. I am not a savior. I cannot save everyone."

"But I hope that you, more people, can stand with me and use our power to change their lives and the lives of more people who need our help."

Joanna's emotions were spot on, "They have paid so much for us, they shouldn't be like this..."

Next comes her charity relief plan, which is what charitable funds must tell donors.

Private equity funds may not disclose their financial status to the public or tell everyone where the money is spent, but they must tell their donors.

Where the donor's money will be used, how it will be used, what are the plans for its use, and some follow-up matters.

In Joanna's plan, assistance operations are divided into three levels.

The first level requires all-round help. They need money, medical care, and a living environment that is more like a large collective.

The second one is in need of work and money. They may be facing difficulties or are unemployed. After the foundation is established, it will help them overcome this difficulty and then find jobs for them.

The third level is also the most special. This group of people need more professional psychological medical treatment because they are facing mental illness.

Ordinary families look down on psychiatrists, so the foundation will help them solve these problems, arrange regular psychological counseling, and regularly observe their mental health problems.

In addition, there are some more detailed contents, which are just simple text descriptions, and the details will be shown in a plan.

After all this, Joanna disclosed to everyone the operation of the funds within the foundation.

Thirty percent of the donations will be used directly to rescue all eligible rescue targets and establish relevant subordinate branches.

Fifty percent of the remaining 70% will be used for commercial investment.

Fees earned from these investments will be rolled into the foundation's account.

The remaining 20% ​​is used for the daily expenses of the foundation, such as employee salaries, adding some equipment, organizing some temporary activities, etc.

The whole process may not be very professional, but it definitely explains things clearly.

When the brightness of the light slowly increased, Joanna also breathed a sigh of relief.

She glanced at the former president's wife sitting in the front row, smiled and expressed some gratitude.

She helped Joanna complete these. She has a lot of experience and knows how to do it.

Then Joanna glanced at the doctor sitting in the back row near the middle of the aisle, but quickly looked away.

With the former president's wife being the first to stand up and donate 50,000 yuan, the fundraising officially began.

Every guest, or every pair of guests, generously stuffed the money they had prepared into the donation box - all were checks!

The 50,000 yuan given by the former president's wife is a cover-up measure. Even if the people behind her are no longer willing, they cannot pay less than 50,000 yuan.

It can be equal, but not less than this.

Except for a few people, basically everyone donated more than 50,000 yuan.

Some capitalists donated 100,000 yuan.

The military-industrial complex donated more, at least one million.

Whether it is veterans, disabled soldiers, Mr. President and the current military, they are the biggest patrons of the military-industrial complex!

They don't donate money to please the military group. If donating one million can please the military group, then the military group will definitely have no future and no ability.

The purpose of donating money is just to tell people in the military group that we have also contributed love and don't cause trouble for us!

Seeing that he was about to arrive at Lynch's side, Landa, who was sitting next to him, also took out a checkbook from his small purse and wrote 50,000 yuan painfully.

This fifty thousand yuan is really not a small amount of money to her.

What made her a little dissatisfied was that Joanna never told her that she had to donate at least 50,000 yuan!

Otherwise she wouldn't have come at all.

Lin Qi, who was on the side, casually took out his checkbook and wrote the number five million.

It’s not that he is more high-profile than others, it’s just that he has just obtained several billion military projects from the federal government and the military.

If someone donates one million, he will also donate one million, although in principle he does nothing wrong. It is his freedom to donate more or less.

But there will always be some people who feel... dissatisfied.

When you make money, you move hundreds of millions and billions home, and when it comes time to pay, you squeeze out millions and millions.

Even if others don't say anything, they will feel that what Lynch did is not right.

Everyone is jealous, jealous of other people's beauty, jealous of other people's money, no one is exception.

Without giving these people a chance to be jealous, the role of these five million is much greater than imagined.

After Landa donated $50,000 on behalf of a women's rights organization, Lynch then took the stage.

Someone will take photos, which is also the foundation's most common method.

When they persuade people to donate money, they will invite someone they think is likely to donate money to come and sit with the foundation.

When the wall is filled with photos of celebrities donating money, what will this person who may be undecided think?

Lynch donated five million fucking dollars, so my donation of fifty thousand wouldn't be too little, right?

Lynch handed the check to Joanna. He actually knew Joanna relatively well. He had visited Mr. Trueman several times before he failed to win the election and became president.

They also had dinner together, and Lynch was quite impressed by her cooking skills.

"Great theme and commentary, we really don't do enough of this, hopefully my money will do something for them."

The flashlights flashed wildly, and some people were recording it.

"Don't let our heroes bleed and shed tears. They deserve our respect and love!"

Joanna's eyes suddenly lit up. It was just a simple sentence, but it contained a very profound connotation. This will become one of the key words for the foundation to persuade donations!

She nodded vigorously, "Yes, I will do that. This is also a cause for us to work together."

Then she smiled politely, let go of her hand, faced the meeting, and looked down at the numbers.

For two seconds, she looked back at Lin Qi, her face full of surprise and confusion.

Is it...an extra zero was written.

Lynch always kept a smile, but his smart eyes told Joanna that he was not wrong.

Joanna looked at everyone in disbelief, "Oh my God, Mr. Lynch donated five million to the sergeants who need our help!"

There was a bang, and people immediately started applauding!

Many of the people sitting here, more than half of them, don't have a combined net worth of five million, but it was such a terrifyingly huge sum that Lynch just donated it.

Soon people remembered the news that he had taken on billions in debt. He was so rich, so damn rich!

Regardless of whether everyone likes him or not, everyone must stand up and applaud those five million and its owner!
