Chapter 648 Donate, Donate, Donate Enough for a Building!

The conference room was quiet for a while. Rich businessmen, you look at me and I look at you, exchanging crazy glances:

——Promise or not?

——This is too dark. Ten thousand gold coins, swallowed in one gulp, without even belching!

——I think it’s okay. He has reciprocated anyway, right?

——Erecting a stone tablet at the door of the building is also called reward?

——This, that, is still somewhat useful, right?

The faces of a group of people changed. Although they had tried hard to restrain themselves, it was still very obvious in Gretel's eyes. If you hook up an electroencephalograph to each person and color-code the waveforms representing different emotions, it will probably be colorful, like a neon light flashing...

"This, Mage Nordmark..."

Sangers, who came in the lead, still wanted to struggle. It was he who saw the business opportunities first and made a complete profit plan. It was he who persuaded his companions and raised funds on the grounds that he was "familiar with the Master"...

You have already taken 99 steps, and you must not fall to 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 table..."

He pushed over a thick roll of parchment and unfolded it. The roll of paper was spread 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 is 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 still come if they are supposed to come. ah.

Therefore, this calculation is simply not correct. It should be calculated as the extra accommodation expenses paid by others. 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 Grete didn't want to argue about financial issues. He just smiled slightly:

"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. ”

The wealthy businessmen looked at each other. After 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 very good recently... We just want to have another investment channel. If we want to donate, we are temporarily short of money. Money is tight..."

Three or four people nearby nodded. The amplitude was very small, while lowering his chin slightly, he carefully looked at Grete's expression. Well, adding up, the number of people who don’t want to donate is about half of the people who come.

"It's okay." Grete smiled and waved his hand. "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 have been kicked out. People with higher force values ​​will probably know who is behind Gretel...

The wealthy businessmen breathed a visible sigh of relief. Grete looked away from them and then looked at Sangus: What about you?

Sanges kept silently pondering. To be honest, it was a bit painful for him to take out one or two thousand gold coins in one go, but it wasn't like he couldn't take it out. So the key question is whether we can get enough returns for donating wards——

To be honest, when we first met, this Nordmark mage was still a second-level young priest. In two or three years, he rose to level six like a rocket and had his own mage tower. Coupled with his status as a legendary disciple, spending thousands of gold coins to become familiar with him shouldn’t be considered a loss?

Bet!

He gritted his teeth and made up his mind:

"Donate? I can! I can give 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 under Igor Peak. The names of the families who made a covenant with the Magic Council are all on it, and they will be immortal for thousands of years. Until now, who doesn’t envy those families and surnames?

Oak Grove Medical Clinic doesn't 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 he smiled sheepishly at him:

"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. Your Majesty the Master is 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 him profusely. Although only half of the people agreed to donate, they managed to collect an intended donation of 8,000 gold coins. If we collect a little more from the hospital's account, it will 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 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 according to the content on the paper, it will be engraved on the wall when building the building! "

Sangus stood up in panic and took it with both hands. The quill is all golden and red, and its tentacles are warm, just like the tail feathers of the legendary phoenix. A light black diamond is embedded near the tip of the pen, and a line of small words is engraved on the center feather:

"1183, Emerging Magician Award, to Gretel Nordmark"

"This is...a prize from the Magic Council?!"

He looked at the quill in his hand with awe in his eyes and asked cautiously. Grete smiled and raised her 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!"

Sanges held the pen tremblingly as he wrote. My hand shook, and a long ink mark was drawn on the paper, so I had to ask for a change of paper.

Next, 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 before raising his hand in pain:

"I'll donate five hundred too!"

The prize of the Magic Council! It's probably a high-level magic item! 500 gold coins, it’s worth it to touch it with your own hands and be able to write a few words with it!
