The Strongest Man in the Universe

Chapter 130

The film is finished.

Jeffrey went back on stage.

“I believe everyone was very touched after watching this movie. So do I. I also shed tears many times during filming. So, I've decided to do whatever I can to help these kids. I would like to ask you to lend a helping hand and donate generously to give hope to these children. Me, Jeffrey Hubbard, I, reassure you that every penny collected tonight and taken from the film's box office revenue will go to every location on the film to help build a school that can protect children from the wind and rain. Thank you!”

Jeffrey bowed deeply to the audience, who were greeted with a standing ovation. David had a flash of inspiration as he clapped.

‘Building school? I can build it too, right? Luxury points might not add up when I give money away, but I can turn them into something else before donating it!’

It was like how he donated a hundred million dollars to a charity gala in Lake City and did not earn fancy points. His luxury points also did not add up when he gave his cousin, Lily, a hundred million dollars.

However, she earned luxury points when she bought two luxury South River International Residence apartments for Aunt Sally and Aunt Diana.

If he builds a school and donates to the locals, he can earn luxury points. By doing this, he would not only make East League International famous but also earn abundant points. Most importantly, he could help children in poor mountain areas in the film.

He used to think that he was a member of the lower class society. In addition to studying hard, he does various part-time jobs for a living.

After attending these two parties, he realized that many people lead difficult lives and have worse learning conditions. He was capable, so he wanted to help as much as possible!

Then came the surrender ceremony. The QR code appears on the screen. They just need to scan with their cell phones to transfer money to a public account. They can leave their name on the comments when transferring money.

In addition, everyone can keep an eye on the account, and there will be a detailed list of each transaction. David also turned on his phone and scanned it. He donated ten million dollars but did not give his name.

Money is just a number for him now. He did not donate more money for fear of causing unnecessary trouble. They would track him back to him if he donated too much money, and what he feared the most now was trouble.

Even if it was only ten million dollars, it was still a little more than the second highest donation on the list. David returned to his room after donating. At this point, there is an additional ten million unnamed dollars in donations. They should include it in the donation name list.

Jeffrey wondered for a long time, but no one came forward to admit it.

Marie was the only one who knew who the anonymous donor was.

“Mary! What made the donation was David?” Hannah whispered beside Marie.

“Ya!”

“Then why does he remain anonymous?”

“Because he doesn't want to be famous. He is very humble!”

David called Pearl from his room. Pearl's voice immediately sounded on the phone.

“Hai! Lord Lidel! What can I help you with?”

“How was the recruitment, Miss Pearl?” ask David.

“Very good! East League International now has nearly 500 employees, and I'll release some. We don't need many people in Springfield.”

“OK, but you have to forget what you did first. Hold a press conference in the near future and say that East League International is setting up a charitable foundation and allocating a hundred billion dollars to help build schools in impoverished mountainous areas across the country.”

“Hah? Mr Lidell, what do you mean by that? I can understand doing charity, which can help East League International, but isn't a hundred billion dollars too much? I think even a billion dollars can be very useful. We don't have to spend that much money!”

“No problem! Money is just a number to me. I'm just trying to do my part by helping children in poor mountain areas. Do it as soon as possible! Take this opportunity to make East League International a success! It will be good for future development.”

“OK! I'll start the preparations now, Mr Lidell!” said Pearl.

Since David had said it, he stopped persuading her. David had already made up his mind, and he could only do as he was told. Pearl was very capable in getting things done.

The following afternoon, East League International held a press conference, and many heavyweights were invited.

Pearl announced at a press conference that East League International Group had established the East League International Foundation, that would invest a hundred billion dollars for children in poor mountainous areas across the country to build schools that could protect them from wind and rain, as well as all kinds of supporting facilities that will be provided in full.

Not only that, East League International Foundation will also subsidize teachers working in poor areas 2,000 dollars per month each.

News is like a bomb once it comes out, making millions of people dizzy and taking over the headlines on TV stations, online platforms, and news outlets.

Spending a hundred billion dollars to build a school in a poor mountainous area?

Do you know how much a hundred billion dollars is?

Do some of the world's last top 1,000 companies even have a hundred billion dollar market capital?

How scary!

In other words, East League International Group donates an equivalent amount to companies that rank among the world's top 1,000 companies. Such a huge donation was unheard of before.

East League International used to be a little bit famous in the investment world, but its popularity is now worldwide. Various news media also took turns publishing it, making East League International really popular.

People have also started to delve into the background of East League International, but all they can see is the company's representative and East League International chairman named David Lidell, and no information about David can be found. There's not even a picture.

The less they can find details about David, the more mysterious David appears, and the more mysterious he appears, the more curious others become of him.

David also became popular among the top elites, but they only heard his name and had never met him. Few people know who David really is.

David topped the East League International Group hierarchy followed by general manager Pearl Warner.

Everything about Pearl can be traced. He graduated from Springfield University with a degree in Economics and Management, and later worked for the Golden Leaf Hotel in River City South River Province as a lobby manager.

Eventually, Golden Leaf Hotel owner and East League International chairman David Lidell recognized his abilities and promoted him to East League International general manager.

East League International, a company that was just two months old, gained instant popularity. People are also wondering how much money the company has since they have announced a hundred billion donation to build the school.

Many media outlets have also started counting East League International assets. These statistics are even more surprising. East League International has assets of nearly four hundred billion dollars, all invested in the past two months. What does that mean?

East League International has invested more than three hundred billion dollars in the past two months and is still investing billions of dollars every day.

That's all real money. It is not the same as market value. Can a conglomerate worth trillions of dollars have two hundred billion dollars in cash? Sure didn't!

East League International spends real money. They have spent over three hundred billion dollars in two months, and now they plan to spend another hundred billion dollars on charity. That's over four hundred billion dollars. How much money does East League International have?

No one knows.

They couldn't dig into the background and information of chairman David Lidell. East League International is so popular that it will attract more talent to join and more companies that need investment to partner with them.

A remote town in South River Province. Minnie lost her temper in her room. For the past month, her parents have been matchmaking her with some good men, but she doesn't like them.

He met the son of several business owners today. It is said that his family owns a supermarket in several neighboring towns. The man likes her, but she doesn't feel the chemistry with him. He still thinks about Sam and everything with him. Love sometimes makes people lose their minds.

Mr. Fuller was in the living room watching TV while Mrs Fuller was setting the table.

“Bu, I'm not hungry!” minnie said.

“Are you still thinking about Sam, you damned girl? I'm telling you. I will never approve of you two together. What's so good about him? Is he better than Lord Lawrence's son? We are an important family in this city. How are we gonna hold our heads up high if you marry that poor boy, Sam?" Mrs Fuller scolded again.

“Mother! Are you trying to kill me?” minnie said while crying.

“I, kill you? I thought you were trying to kill your father and me!”

Minnie stopped answering. Mr. Fuller and Mrs Fuller started watching TV while eating. Then a news on TV caught their attention.

“Next, People's News.

Yesterday afternoon, East League International Investmemt Group, announced the establishment of the East League International Foundation. They would spend a hundred billion dollars to build schools in poor mountain areas across the country so that studying would no longer be a luxury for all poor students."

"This is a great project that benefits the country and the people. Let's hope more companies can learn from East League International. Furthermore, East League International Group general manager, Miss Pearl Warner has something to say."

"Pearl Warner?"

When Mr and Mrs Fuller heard the name, they stared straight at the television.

Then, the TV cuts to Pearl standing on stage at a press conference.

He was wearing a black business suit and looked smart, appearing domineering as well as superior. Pearl was a different person from herself over a month ago.

She gradually completed her transformation from a submissive, innocent, and agile girl to the dominating female entrepreneur she is today.

Ting!

Ting!

Mr and Mrs Fuller dropped their cutlery on the floor. The two of them looked at each other and could see shock in each other's eyes as well as a hint of shock.

Pearl was talking on television.

Mrs Fuller immediately came to her senses and exclaimed, “Minnie, come out and see! Isn't this Sam's sister on TV?”

When Minnie heard Sam's name, she rushed out of the room and saw the man talking on TV. Yeah, it's Sam's sister, Pearl. Although his temperament changed, his appearance did not.

“Quick, call Sam and show this to his family!” Mrs Fuller said quickly.

Minnie pulled out her phone and quickly called Sam.

“Minnie!”

“Sam, turn on the TV and switch to People’s Channel.” Minnie said.

“What are you doing? I'm not in the mood to watch TV right now!”

“Come quickly! Your brother's on TV. He was talking on TV!”

“Hah? Oho! I'll do it soon!”

Sam hung up the phone and rushed to the living room. Billy and Leigh were watching a TV series when Sam started switching channels.

“Sammy, what are you doing?”

“Bu, don't talk. Just look!”

The TV channel switched to People’s Channel and Pearl appeared in front of the three.

“What ... is this Pearly?” Leigh asked with trembling in her voice.

“It's Pearl! It really is Pearl! Pearl is on TV!” sam said excitedly.

Billy also saw Pearl talking on TV, her face full of surprise and disbelief. He did not understand Pearl's speech, but in his opinion, anyone who could appear on TV was a great person.

Minnie's House

“Minnie, why don't you go online and find out about East League International?” Ask Mrs Fuller.

“Oh! Okay!”

Minnie started looking for the East League International Group on her phone.

It didn't take long.

The East League International Investment Group

Chairman: David Lidell

Representative: David Lidell

General Manager: Pearl Warner

"General manager?"

All three surprised.

They weren't Billy and his wife, they understood very well what the general manager meant. Afterwards, Minnie looks for Pearl. Graduated from Springfield University. At the Golden Leaf Hotel. Everything on the resume is true. The three were dumbfounded as they read the last sentence.

(As general manager of the burgeoning East League International Investment Group, Pearl is allegedly close to chairman David and has assets worth more than ten billion dollars.)

Worth more than ten billion dollars?

How much is ten billion dollars?

They could not understand that astronomical number, but they knew it must be a lot. A little money from under his fingernails was enough to feed two of their families for life.

“Minnie, I think you should persuade Sam to apologize to Pearl. After all, she was his sister. They are family, and there is nothing they cannot get through.” Mrs Fuller told Minnie in a serious tone.

Mr. Fuller also agrees with his wife.

“OK! Understood it! I'll go see him tomorrow.”

Minnie knew her parents wouldn't stop her from being with Sam again. Brother Sam is too capable.
