Chapter 565: Yooooooooo…Translator: Atlas Studios Editor: Atlas Studios
Once this piece of news was released, it immediately received a warm response from every animal lover in the nation.
Needless to say, Hong Dali"s popularity was extremely high as the Heavenly State"s well-known number one prodigal. Especially with the ma.s.sive splurge of one billion he made this time as donations for the conservation of animals, this point made everyone in the Heavenly State erupt!
Originally, Hong Dali already received a lot of attention in the Heavenly State. With the addition of the announcements made by the Resource Chamber of Commerce and the forum, the effect this time greatly surpa.s.sed all of Hong Dali"s previous doings!
Besides, this was broadcast on all media outlets. However, it was not self-advertis.e.m.e.nt by ordinary entertainment media outlets or other relevant media outlets.
Dali Wildlife and Obedient Pets Protection a.s.sociation, official website.
Through Dali"s previous broadcast, Dali Wildlife and Obedient Pets Protection a.s.sociation"s official website IP traffic rose at a meteoric pace.
Besides, charity organizations like this were infamously known to be the fis.h.i.+est. As their financial transactions were not transparent, it caused many people to have little trust in these organizations.
In people"s impressions, the majority of such charity organizations were usually under someone and pocketed. Even if they did not face such problems, many of them were obviously under the responsibility of the a.s.sociation. Yet, they were often neglected and pretended that such problems did not exist.
Hence, most people did not have a good impression of such organizations.
However, Hong Dali was entirely different!
At the highest portion of the website, a live number count changed constantly. On it, it evidently showed a number that was coincidentally 1,000,000,000.
One billion, it was just right at one billion. On one side, a small note read, “Dali Wildlife and Obedient Pets Protection a.s.sociation"s current funds.” (Our funds are updated once a month. Where every amount is spent, how much was spent will all be noted clearly on the website under the database. We welcome anyone"s supervision.)
If someone else were to do the same, it would most likely be a gimmick, since n.o.body would be aware of the real situation.
However, the fact that Hong Dali made it, would be entirely different!
It was due to the fact that this wastrel"s ident.i.ty was extremely well-known. If he said he donated one billion yuan, then there would only be more and not less. Wasn"t there an apt saying by Hong Dali, “I have to splurge. If I don"t, what talent would I have aside from splurging and wasting the money my father and mother earned?”
With this sentence, everyone truly believed. This charity organization that Hong Dali created, was definitely decent and honest. It definitely would not be corrupt!
Think about it, a wastrel that even bought an aircraft carrier definitely would not hoax the crowd by involving himself with charity. Was there a wastrel better suited for this?
“Addressing the wastrel Hong Dali as Young Master is really apt!”
Dan Jingrou stared at the news on the website with wide eyes and a slack jaw. He was full of admiration.
As someone who considered looks to be equally important as intelligence, and being one of the four 21st century beauties with compa.s.sion and a good figure, Dan Jingrou had two current obsessions. First, Hong Dali. Second, animals.
Dan Jingrou"s name had a character in it that represented gentleness. She was indeed gentle and exquisite. Usually, what she enjoyed the most was looking at her few pet dogs play around.
Even though it created a little bit of noise, but as the child of a wealthy family who had a villa, the little bit of disturbance created by the dogs wasn"t a problem at all.
Originally, she would pay close attention to information like the Weibo News on a daily basis. She would browse through to see if there were any news on Hong Dali. This was unrelated to whether she liked him or not. She just felt that Hong Dali was a fun person to watch.
In the end, after watching the news today, she actually came across such a shocking and touching piece of news!
Hong Dali personally donated one billion yuan to build up the Dali Wildlife and Obedient Pets Protection a.s.sociation! Such boldness?! Such a splurge?!
“Currently, the nation is setting up province, city, and country level a.s.sociations. Sincerely recruiting a.s.sociation members. This… this…” Upon seeing this, Dan Jingrou was stunned.
She liked animals ever since she was young.
Animals were very gentle and did not know how to deceive. Animals never lied to humans. Since she especially loved dogs, she raised six dogs at home from various breeds. Those dogs were very obedient as well and listened to whatever she said. They did not cause any worry at all.
Without an ounce of exaggeration, her favorite thing to do was to walk her dogs and shop around with them daily.
However, today, Hong Dali had actually personally helped build up the Dali Wildlife and Obedient Pets Protection a.s.sociation with one billion yuan.
One should be aware that, even though Dan Jingrou"s family was considered wealthy, their total a.s.sets were probably not worth more than 20 million yuan. Hong Dali donated one billion yuan at one shot. In Dan Jingrou"s eyes, how much of a shock was that?!
“Young Master, his boldness is really…” Especially with her good figure and looks and decent background, as a gentle lady herself, Dan Jingrou"s suitors were numerous. It would be enough to line them up from her house to the city central.
However, after all these years, she was still single.
That was due to the fact that regular men were too ordinary in her eyes, especially when they were compared to Hong Dali.
This was unrelated to wealth, the most important thing was their manners. Those men were a little too stingy, after all…
“Young Master…” Her brain was consumed with thoughts of Hong Dali"s bold and vigorous squandering ways. It might appear to be interesting and idiotic, but in Dan Jingrou"s eyes, it was entirely different.
Softly calling out Hong Dali"s name,Dan Jingrou"s face suddenly turned red and an indescribable part below was a little wet. Yooooooooo…
“I have decided. I want to be a volunteer!” After a moment of embarra.s.sment, Dan Jingrou"s expression suddenly turned stiff. “Young Master spent so much this time. Anyway, I"m not busy with work. At the very least, I must try my best!”
Since she stumbled upon this thought, Dan Jingrou decisively clicked on the website"s temporarily constructed forum.
At this moment, there were already a few thousand notes in the forum. Quite a few people had commented, all of them expressing their approval and support for Hong Dali"s action.
“In the past, after getting drunk, I would wander the streets, kill time and brag and critique everything with friends as it dissatisfied us, feeling like we have a big p.e.n.i.s with high esteem. I would feel like I was at the peak of my youth, be bold and unrestrained with a bright future. Seeing Young Master Dali"s status, I can no longer experience the wildness of youth. Instead, I can only feel like a group of homeless wild dogs licking each others" wounds; Young Master Dali, I"m coming to follow you to beg for the a.s.sociation to take me in!”
“Young Master Dali, say no more. Anyway, I"ll definitely support this all the way! Since I was young, I loved animals. I always felt upset whenever I saw news on the hunting and killing of wild animals. However, I"ve always been weak and helpless since I was young. Now, things have changed. Please let me follow you!”
“For the Young Master, Dali Creates Miracles! Say no more, Young Master Dali has great morals. I"ll be your fan for life!”
For an entire afternoon, Dan Jingrou sat in the chair and did not move an inch. She was entirely immersed in the website"s forum. As she read through all kinds of notes, her brain was consumed with images of how she pictured Hong Dali"s dauntless image. Her small face was red and she did not care about her meal….
When she had finally read through all the notes with some essence and saw all the photos attached to the notes of volunteers helping animals, the sky had already darkened. Dan Jingrou exhaled deeply before muttering, “I haven"t found any small animal that needs help around my house. What should I do…”
After all, she was a lady who provided for herself and lived comfortably. How could she have encountered a place where small animals needed help?
Ultimately, right when she was panicking, she casually refreshed the website. Suddenly, a note in the forum caused her eyes to light up!
“Latest news, latest news. This Wildlife and Obedient Pets Protection a.s.sociation formed by the Young Master already has the latest account. If everyone wishes to contribute, you can directly proceed to deposit money into the Jianbao Plaza! On the homepage, however much you transfer will be reflected!”
Once this information was released, it momentarily gathered all Internet users" attention.
Some said, “Young Master Dali already donated one billion yuan, why do we have to donate as well? They aren"t pocketing our money, right?”
Below, a few people replied immediately: “You idiot, Young Master Dali is someone who treats an aircraft carrier as a plaything. Do you think he lacks money? Such a meager amount of money you are donating and you think they"ll pocket it?” “Yes yes, this has clear intentions. If Young Master Dali really wanted to pocket our money, he could casually make a few hundred million yuan. Why would he use this as an excuse?!”
Facing such a large group of Internet users" scoldings, the person from before could no longer sit and watch. “d.a.m.n, who said that I"m questioning Young Master Dali? I"m just curious about why the website asked us to donate money. Originally, I thought that based on Young Master Dali"s personality, he definitely would not ask us for donations!”
Having such questions was very normal. However, with Hong Dali"s overwhelming popularity, all the Internet users discussed about the matter with righteous indignation. The notes were refreshed so quickly that after a short while, an argument spanned over more than 200 pages. Some scolded the user who first commented, some sighed at how there was finally a reliable organization doing good work but was ultimately questioned by people.
Actually, it was no wonder that Hong Dali had so many supporters. This rascal"s great luck required no explanation. The key thing was that his love for animals was known by practically the entire Heavenly State. This was something straight forward—if he did not like animals, would he have found Big Turtle, the Black Tortoise? Would the Black Tortoise willingly be his mount?
After watching for quite a while, Dan Jingrou pondered and replied a comment. “Have some confidence in Young Master Dali. This world needs to spread positive energy. Previously, I didn"t dare to believe as well. However, with Young Master Dali taking the lead today, I believe it.”
The moment her reply was sent out, it immediately received all the other users" support. The user who first commented could no longer sit and watch. “I really wasn"t questioning Young Master"s character. It"s just that… Forget it, I"ll prove it with my actions!”
He said that he would prove it with his actions. At the start, everyone was still unclear on what exactly he meant.
However, soon after, he uploaded another note: “Brothers, no more rubbish talk. Look at the figure yourself!”
The note had no content except an image. Funny Milk donated 100,000 yuan.
