Chapter 643: Donate, donate, donate enough for a building!
The conference room was quiet for a moment. The wealthy businessmen looked at me and I looked at you, exchanging glances crazily:
Promise or not?
This is too dark. Ten thousand gold coins can be swallowed in one gulp without causing a burp!
I think it's okay, he has given me something in return, right?
Is setting up a stone tablet at the door of a building also called reward?
This and that are of some use, right?
The faces of a group of people changed. Although they had tried hard to restrain themselves, it was still very obvious to Gretel. If each person was hooked up to an electroencephalograph, and the waveforms representing different emotions were marked with colors, it would probably be colorful, like a neon light flashing.
…
"This, Mage Nordmark..."
Sangus, who came in the lead, still wanted to struggle. It was he who saw the business opportunity first and made a complete profit plan. It was he who persuaded his companions and raised funds on the grounds that he was "more familiar with the Master"...
You have already taken 99 steps, and you must not fail at the last step!
"Master Nordmark, we have calculated that investing in the construction of a new obstetric ward is very profitable. Look at this profit statement..."
He pushed over a thick roll of parchment, unfolded it, and spread the paper from in front of Gretel to the opposite side:
"Accept our investment, and you won't have to pay a penny. You can earn at least 1,000 more gold coins every month! One building per year!"
Grete glanced quickly. Well, his calculation method was to allocate all the mothers who can afford painless delivery to the obstetrics building... The problem is, even if I don't build a new obstetrics building, these
People will come when they are supposed to come.
So this algorithm is simply wrong. It should be calculated as the additional accommodation fee that people pay. For example, if you live in a ward with three people to a room, the accommodation fee is 1 gold coin per day, but if you live in a VIP ward, the accommodation fee is 10 gold coins per day?
But Gretel didn't want to argue about financial issues. He just smiled:
"I'm sorry, but my medical clinic does not intend to make a profit for the time being. Even if I can make money, I will invest it in medical research and medical services. I'm afraid you won't be able to recover the cost. Therefore, donations are okay, but investment is not necessary.
Already."
The wealthy businessmen looked at each other. For a moment, a wealthy businessman sitting on the other side of the long table, faintly opposite to Sangers, stood up and bowed carefully to apologize:
"I'm sorry, Mr. Nordmark. Business hasn't been going well recently... We just want to have another investment channel. If we want to make donations, we are temporarily short of money. Money is tight..."
The three or four people next to him nodded along. The amplitude was very small, and while they lowered their chins slightly, they carefully looked at Grete's expression. Well, adding up, the number of people who didn't want to donate was about half of the people who came.
"It's okay." Grete smiled and waved his hand. "The donation is voluntary. If you don't want to donate, then don't donate. It doesn't matter."
"Then...if we feel uncomfortable somewhere in the future..."
"Then come and see a doctor!" Grete said with a smile: "Oak Grove Medical Clinic will not refuse patients without reason."
Well, except for medical trouble... But obviously, the barbarian security guards have enough deterrence. So far, there are still only a handful of patients who dare to make medical trouble and are beaten out. People with higher force value will probably know who is standing.
Behind Gretel...
The wealthy businessmen breathed a visible sigh of relief. Grete looked away from them and looked at Sangus: What about you?
Sanges has been silently pondering. To be honest, it hurts a lot for him to take out one or two thousand gold coins in one breath, but it is not impossible. So the key question is whether he can get enough returns for donating wards.
To be honest, when we first met, this Nordmark mage was still a young priest at the second level. In two or three years, he rose to the sixth level like a rocket and had his own mage tower. In addition, the legendary disciple
In terms of identity, spending thousands of gold coins to get a familiar face shouldn't be considered a loss?
Bet on it!
He gritted his teeth and made up his mind:
"Donate? I can! I can donate up to two thousand...two thousand five gold coins. When the ward building is built, can I engrave my firm's name on the front of the building?"
Imagine the stone tablet at the foot of Igor Peak. The names of the families that made a covenant with the Magic Council are all on it, and they will be immortal for thousands of years. Now, who doesn't envy those families and those surnames?
Oak Grove Medical Clinic does not need a thousand years, as long as it can be immortal for a hundred years, the nobles, magicians, and wealthy businessmen who come to see the doctor will all see the name of his business...
Then you have already made money!
Everyone knows the risks of being a maritime businessman. You can be very rich today, but tomorrow your fleet sinks and you go bankrupt... With a high reputation, it is much easier to borrow money and turn around!
"Of course! Thank you very much!"
Grete agreed immediately. Then she smiled at him sheepishly:
"We just have to wait... Well, money is tight at the moment, and the money is not enough to build a building for the time being. Maybe we can open an account in the White Tower and save the money to ensure that it is used exclusively?"
Sangus breathed a sigh of relief. The Master was so considerate that he proposed the special funds without him having to ask!
As soon as Grete said these words, the businessmen next to him were also very interested. The two wealthy businessmen exchanged glances and followed up one after another:
"I will also donate a thousand gold coins."
"I'll donate a thousand and a half!"
"I won't take this thousand back! Donate directly!"
Grete thanked her repeatedly. Although only half of the people agreed to donate, they scraped together a donation of eight thousand gold coins. With a little more from the hospital's account, it would be enough to build a building!
Gretel was in a good mood. He simply spread out a large piece of paper and handed it to Sangus along with the [Endless Ink Pen]:
"Come on, write down your name, donation amount and business name, one by one, in order of amount. After writing, I will take it directly to the alchemy workshop, and I will engrave it on the wall according to the content on the paper when building the building!
"
Sangus stood up in panic and took it with both hands. The golden and red quill was warm to the touch, just like the tail feathers of the legendary phoenix. There was a light black diamond embedded near the tip of the pen, and there was a line of small characters engraved on the central quill.
:
"1183, Emerging Magician Award, to Gretel Nordmark"
"This is...the prize of the Magic Council?!"
He looked at the quill in his hand with awe and asked cautiously. Grete smiled and raised his chin at him:
"Yes. Don't think too much, even if it is a magic tool, it is just a pen. Write quickly, others will have to write after you finish writing!"
Sangers held the pen tremblingly while writing. His hand shook, and a long ink mark was left on the paper, and he had to ask for a change of paper.
Next, the other wealthy businessmen held pens in both hands and wrote carefully one by one. Even the wealthy businessman who initially said he had no money to donate stretched his neck and looked at it for a long time, and then raised his hand in pain:
"I'll also donate five hundred!"
The prize from the Magic Council! It's probably a high-level magic item! It's worth 500 gold coins, if you can touch it with your own hands and be able to write a few words with it!
