Thinking of this, he had to nod his head and agree, saying to Charlie, “Okay! Two billion on two billion!”
Charlie nodded in satisfaction and said indifferently,
“Later, Mr. Issac from Shangri-La will give you the public account here.”
“You can just arrange for the finance to pay the money directly.”
“Okay.” Bernard nodded dismally and said with forced anger, “I will arrange the payment as soon as possible ……”
Charlie smiled faintly and said, “Mr. Elnor, in the future,”
“It is better to do business more generously, at what price things are set,”
“Sell them at that price, don’t always think of earning extra profits by starvation marketing and the allocation system,”
“In the words of sages, doing too much of this kind of immoral thing is detrimental to yin virtue, which is bad for future generations.”
Bernard questioned indignantly, “Aren’t you guys the same?”
Charlie laughed: “Our boss has said that this money you allotted, once it hits Shangri-La’s account,”
“He will not take a penny and will donate it all to the nutrition improvement program for rural compulsory education students,”
“So, unlike you, he is doing a good deed and you are doing a vice deed,”
“In the words of ancient people, he is robbing the rich to help the poor. “
Bernard was surprised and asked, “What does this nutrition program do?”
Charlie said lightly:
“It is a poverty alleviation program established only for all students who are receiving compulsory education,”
“According to the standard of four yuan per day, to provide meal subsidies for more than twenty million rural school students nationwide,”
“According to each rural poor area children a four yuan lunch per day,”
“The two hundred million yuan can solve the lunch of one million four hundred thousand children in poor rural areas for a whole year, which is a great merit.”
Speaking of this, Charlie added: “But this merit has nothing to do with you,”
“Unless you also take the initiative to donate another two billion.”
“I …… I also have to donate?!”
Bernard at this time wants to die, he is now most afraid that after Charlie forced him to match the goods, but also forced him to donate.
Charlie saw his face panic, snorted, and said,
“Mr. Elnor need not be so afraid if you yourself are not willing to donate,”
“We will not force you to donate, after all, a melon twisted by force is not sweet.”
Bernard finally sighed with relief.
One of the things he disliked most in his life was making donations.
