The children immediately cheered and ran over to eat dessert.
Paul felt that he was the biggest and couldn't be like other children, so he refrained from eating.But after a while, I couldn't help running over to eat.
Tricia and Charlotte took the donation box to another table, opened it, and took out all the checks inside.
I saw that these checks were all folded, and the amount inside could not be seen.At this time, there are more than 100 checks on the table, and now Tricia has to count how much money these checks have in total.After counting, she will go on stage later to thank the bosses for their donations.
When Mu Yunfan saw that there were only so many checks, he couldn't help but said, "So many bosses have donated, so we should have raised enough money."
Tricia nodded with a smile. "Yeah, as long as each boss raises more than 18 donations on average, that's enough. Boss Mu, Mrs. Phyllis, can you help me to make an inventory together?"
Mu Yunfan and Phyllis nodded, and they sat down at the table and began to help count.
Mu Yunfan picked up a check and opened it to see the amount inside.But then he was stunned for a moment, because the amount in it was really different from what Mu Yunfan had guessed.
Originally, Mu Yunfan thought that the outside donators were all bosses, and these people donated at least hundreds of thousands of dollars, right?However, the amount written on this check at this time is: 1.
This is much less than expected. Mu Yunfan guessed that it might be donated by someone who is not the boss or a small boss. At this time, Mu Yunfan didn't notice it. Felice Tricia and Wendy who also opened the check at the same time, They all showed the same expression as themselves.
After Mu Yunfan recorded the [-] on the paper, he opened the second check and couldn't help being stunned again.
I saw that this check was a little more than the first check, but it was only fifteen thousand.
Mu Yunfan opened the third one, which was much better, with [-].
Open the fourth one, twenty thousand.
Open the fifth one, twenty-five thousand.
Mu Yunfan opened more than twenty checks. At this time, Mu Yunfan couldn't help frowning. The average amount of these twenty-odd checks was only 2.5!
At this moment, Mu Yunfan noticed that Felice Tricia and Wendy had frowns on their faces, as if their amounts were not optimistic.
Then the three of them added up the counted amounts.
There are 121 checks in total.This evening, there were nearly 300 people including female companions, more than 140 bosses, and 120 of them donated money, which can be said to be a considerable number of people.
However, the total amount was only 298 million, with an average donation of less than 2.5 per person.
298 million, a distance of 1876 million, but a full 1578 million difference!
At this time, everyone looked at the total amount and couldn't help but fell silent.Everyone originally thought that they would definitely be able to raise enough money this time, but it was so far behind! ?
Tricia was stunned for a while, then said suddenly: "I, let's count again."
All three of Mu Yunfan nodded.At this time, the four of them felt unwilling to believe it.Those outside are big bosses. Everyone's net worth is far more than 2500 million. How can it be possible to donate so little?And when they donated money just now, they all looked very concerned about the children.
The four immediately counted again, but the total amount was still 298 million.At this moment, the four of them had to admit that the group of bosses outside actually donated less than 2.5 Baileys on average.
Mu Yunfan felt that he didn't know how to evaluate it. It should be said that he was too stingy?Mu Yunfan looked up at Tricia, and was about to comfort Tricia, but Mu Yunfan was stunned.
At this time, Tricia was looking at the children who were happily eating dessert beside her without moving. The expression on her face didn't know whether it was crying or laughing.
At this moment, Annie saw Tricia looking towards them, so she trotted up to Tricia, picked up a big piece of cake with a fork, handed it to Tricia and said with a smile: "Sister Tricia, this cake It’s delicious, come and eat a piece too.”
Tricia smiled and said, "Thank you."
Tricia lowered her head and ate the cake Anne handed over.
Annie asked expectantly, "Isn't it delicious?"
Tricia nodded with a smile. "Mmm, it's delicious."
Annie suddenly showed a bright smile.
"Hee hee, then Annie will give you half of it. Hey? Sister Tricia, why are you crying?"
At this time, although Tricia had a smile on her face, there were crystal tears in her eyes.
Mu Yunfan suddenly remembered that Charlotte said that this fundraising can be said to be the last chance for the Big Banyan Tree House.Once they fail this time, there is no way for them to raise more than 1000 million in less than ten days.
Tricia wiped away her tears, reached out and touched Annie's head with a smile and said, "I've had enough, Annie, you can eat."
Then Tricia stood up suddenly, with a resolute look in her eyes.
Wendy said worriedly: "Sister Tricia, what's wrong?"
"I go out for a while."
Tricia said, then turned and walked out of the preparation room.
At this time, Tricia already understood why those bosses were so enthusiastic about donating money just now, and why they became so concerned about the children.
In fact, these bosses, like the ones I went to find for donations at first, are all stingy and unwilling to donate.The reason why they donated so enthusiastically just now is just to save face, and in public, they can't be ruthless to the children. Their donation is just a show.
After all, because I can't give them any benefits through my father, in fact, the bosses outside don't want to donate money at all.
However, thinking of the lively and cheerful smiles of the children, Tricia gritted her teeth tightly. For the sake of the children, she must not give up no matter what!
The moment Tricia approached the banquet hall, the sadness on her face had completely disappeared.
At this time, the bosses in the banquet hall were talking and laughing happily, finalizing one big deal after another.Now the closest to Tricia are the boss Holden of the Maxima Transportation Company, the boss Doyle of the Iris Clothing Company, and the boss Franky of the Qianfu Jewelry Company.
Their subsidiaries are the largest transportation company in Violet City, the upper-class clothing company most popular with celebrities and nobles, and the most prestigious jewelry company in Violet City and even the surrounding countries.
With the financial resources of these three people, each of them has the strength to support the Big Banyan Tree House to overcome this difficulty.
Tricia happened to know these three people too.
So Tricia sorted out her emotions, and walked towards the three with a smile on her face.
As soon as the three of them saw Tricia coming over, they greeted with smiles all over their faces.
Holden, the boss of Maxima Transportation Company, said with a smile: "Miss Tricia, it's been a long time since I saw you, you really look even more beautiful."
Boss Doyle of the Iris Clothing Company also smiled and said, "Miss Tricia looks so graceful and attractive, there must be many suitors, right?"
Boss Franky of Qianfu Jewelry also smiled and said, "Miss Tricia, how is the city lord doing well recently?"
The three bosses immediately talked to Tricia enthusiastically, but Tricia was not in the mood to tell them this at all, and interrupted with a smile: "Well, I actually want to ask the three of you for help."
Boss Horton smiled and said, "What's the matter with Miss Tricia?"
"Actually, it's about the fundraising just now. In fact, the money raised just now is not enough."
When Tricia said this, the expressions of the three bosses changed slightly.
Tricia noticed the changes in the faces of the three bosses, but she mustered up her courage and said, "Well, can the three donate more?"
Boss Doyle said, "Miss Tricia, how much more do you need?"
Boss Doyle kept a smile on his face, but he could already hear his displeasure.Not only Boss Doyle, but also the other two bosses exuded an atmosphere of resistance.
Tricia pursed her lips and said, "Please, can the three donate another 100 million each?"
The smiles on the faces of the three bosses disappeared completely.
Tricia's heart tightened, and she quickly said, "Then, that 50 is fine."
The three bosses still frowned.
Tricia clenched her fists. "Then, that 20!"
Boss Franky frowned and said, "Miss Tricia, we have already donated once just now, isn't it a little bad for you to come here again and ask us to donate?"
Boss Doyle said: "The money of each of us is not easy to get, please don't think that our money can be taken away casually."
Boss Holden nodded and said: "Yes, we also care about the children in the orphanage, but we have already donated once, so please find someone else."
The three bosses spoke very bluntly.
Tricia said anxiously: "We can make a donation list and record your names on it."
Boss Doyle said indifferently: "We don't need these publicity."
Tricia gritted her teeth. "That one hundred thousand... fifty thousand is fine, please!"
Tricia said as she bent down deeply and clenched her fists.Even though she knew that these bosses were not willing to donate at all, she still tried her best to ask for it.
The three bosses looked at each other, sighed, took out a check, and wrote 5 to Tricia.
"Thank you, thank you!"
Tricia thanked her excitedly, and the three bosses turned and left in silence.
Tricia continued to ask the bosses for donations one by one in the banquet hall.
"May I ask if you can donate some more to the Big Banyan Tree House?"
"Sorry, our company is short of funds right now."
"Well, the funds we need for the Big Banyan Tree House are still short."
"We have donated a lot just now, you can find someone else."
"Please, please donate some more."
The boss looked at Tricia in embarrassment, took out a check, and wrote 2 to Tricia.
Tricia kept bending over to thank her with excitement on her face.
"Thank you, thank you!"
The boss waved his hand and left impatiently.
The vast majority of bosses are unwilling to donate any more, and only a few bosses are willing to donate some at her request.However, this money is just a drop in the bucket for the 1578 million that is still missing.
At this moment, a boss walked up to Tricia and said with a smile: "Hi, Miss Tricia, I am Ford, the boss of Roland Construction Company, and we intend to donate 100 million."
Tricia was immediately excited, and said quickly: "Thank you, thank you, Boss Ford!"
But then, Boss Ford said with a smile: "I heard that the government of Violet City is going to start a renovation plan for historic buildings. May I ask Miss Tricia to let us be the contractor of the project?"
Tricia was stunned, and said in a low voice: "Well, if you intend to become a contractor, please participate in the investment promotion meeting held by the government and bid at the meeting."
The smile on Boss Ford's face suddenly froze, and then he turned and left.
After a while, another boss came over and said with a smile: "Hello, Miss Tricia, I am Kangle, the boss of Yicai Fabric, and we intend to donate 150 million."
Tricia suddenly said excitedly: "Thank you, Boss Kangle!"
But then, Boss Kangle said with a smile: "I heard that the costumes of all the servants in the City Lord's Mansion need to be updated. Can you entrust us with this project?"
Tricia knew that once she could successfully take charge of the production of costumes for all the servants in the City Lord's Mansion, she could make a lot of money in itself, and it was equivalent to making an excellent advertisement.
Tricia said sadly: "If you intend to become a contractor, please participate in the investment promotion meeting held by the government and bid at the meeting."
Boss Kangle's face darkened, and he turned and left.
