Three billion US dollars.
Nearly twenty-four billion RMB.
This money.
It is purely profit, although it can’t be spent arbitrarily, yet it is at the Company’s discretion. Outsiders can only watch or perhaps raise questions but cannot intervene or reclaim it.
Such a huge donation.
Hadn’t appeared in a long time.
The last time.
It was the ’Huaxia Little Angel Charity Foundation’ that received the funds, which had evoked envy at the time. After that, many other charity foundations worldwide tried to see if they could attract any "good Samaritans" to "visit" them. 𝖓𝔬𝖛𝔭𝔲𝖇.𝔠𝔬𝖒
Unfortunately.
They were overly optimistic.
Such donations.
Unless they are global in nature.
Otherwise, it is hard to gain widespread acceptance. Other than being global, only support from fellow nationals overseas could help, but apart from a few countries, where could the others expect such extensive fellow national support?
Even if such support existed.
It was still up to each to decide whether or not it was worth it, fearing that their money might not be spent on essential needs. Therefore, these imitator foundations became a joke, receiving miserably small donations.
In the end.
They could only sit in a corner of their homes.
Questioning their existence.
Furthermore.
Even the donations received by the ’Huaxia Little Angel Charity Foundation’ were gradual, but this time a single donation of three billion US dollars represented a major gesture, drawing global attention to the ’donor’.
--- France Ovy Foundation.
An institution.
Seemingly without any previous record.
Checking online.
Indeed.
It was a "newcomer".
...
United States.
ABC TV Station.
Live broadcast.
A host in his forties excitedly described the history of the Ovy Foundation.
"On February 1, 2006, the Ovy Foundation was established in Paris, France. Its official website states that its purpose is to advocate and protect the environment that humans depend on, reduce famine and disease..."
"To date, the Ovy Foundation has provided financial donations to fifty-seven institutions globally, including the World Health Organization, the World Ocean Conservation Association, the World Wildlife Foundation, the Global Environment Facility, and the World Environmental Protection Organization."
"It helps them carry out work in fields such as advanced medical research, the integrity and diversity of nature, preventing the deterioration of Earth’s natural environment, and creating a harmonious future between humans and nature."
"From the accounts published by the Foundation, we can see that, within just one and a half years of its establishment, the Ovy Foundation has successively donated over five billion US dollars."
"After this thirty billion US dollar donation to the Myanmar Medical Foundation, the Foundation still manages over fourteen billion five hundred million US dollars in cash and assets," revealed the official website.
At that moment.
A prompt echoed in the host’s ear.
He was just about to introduce a statement from the Foundation’s chairman but swallowed his words.
"Now, we have connected with Simon, the Chairman of the Ovy Foundation," announced the host as the video call went through, "Hello, Chairman Simon, this is the live broadcast of ABC."
"Hello, Gregory."
"I’m surprised you recognize me," the host chuckled.
"I often watched your program when I was in the United States," Simon said.
"Mr. Simon, regarding this donation, what was your consideration? Why did you decide so quickly to donate such a substantial amount to a newly established foundation?" the host asked.
On the other end.
Simon gathered his thoughts.
Then said.
"This decision to donate was not rash but made after careful consideration since we had been closely monitoring the Myanmar Pharmaceutical Group when they announced their cancer treatment technology."
"So far, nearly a month now, the influx of patients from around the world has given us an opportunity to verify its effectiveness. Now, we’ve got the data, and its efficacy has been confirmed."
"I want to thank this company for that because I will also benefit. The doctors told me I wouldn’t live for more than six months, but now, I can joyfully wait for treatment and then see more of this world."
"I hope one day, this Earth will be more beautiful than when I first encountered it. I have dedicated my life to benefiting mankind, and I never thought I would witness such a breakthrough in the medical field in my old age."
"Our foundation’s existence is to help others. Medical issues reach the broadest audience and are almost worldwide concerns. When facing cancer, there’s little difference between the rich and the poor."
"Therefore, after careful consideration, for this foundation, we are willing to provide funds to help them develop more effective drugs to reduce disease harm and suffering."
"Moreover, this is just the beginning. If, in the future, they can produce better drugs, our foundation is willing to continue helping them. We hope they can use this three billion US dollars appropriately."
The supporter asked, "How do you intend to oversee this?"
"Oversee? No need. I trust that this company, capable of developing technology that benefits the global community, certainly has a caring heart for medicine. I’ve inquired, even for billionaires, cancer treatment costs have been reduced to less than forty thousand US dollars, generally around twenty thousand US dollars, or even less."
"Twenty thousand US dollars, which is an acceptable figure globally, whether in developing or developed countries. Moreover, they always operate on a ’treat first, pay later’ basis."
"What if the funds are misused?"
The host seemed eager to stir controversy.
Simon smiled.
"Then we would accept that."
The host startled.
Such a rash decision?
"Wouldn’t that be irresponsible to your foundation’s donors?"
Simon shook his head, "Our foundation is not a profit-making institution but a charity, and we have the right to make free donations, as long as the reasons are solid. Thus, compared to this company’s achievements, this amount of money really isn’t much."
"Don’t you think if they charged exorbitant fees for medical treatment, they could earn more? Now, they are treating cancer globally with an average cost of less than twenty thousand US dollars. Shouldn’t we reward them a little for this?
...
As the conversation continued.
Many viewers realized.
This guy appeared to be advocating for donations, not just for the Ovy Foundation but also for that pharmaceutical company, continuously highlighting its contributions to global health.
Having made contributions.
Deserves rewards.
Seems fair enough.
Simultaneously.
This person was also continuously instilling the idea of ’donation’ to those watching the TV. Thus, seemingly ’inspired,’ during the live broadcast, the Myanmar Medical Foundation received another single donation of twelve billion US dollars.
Host: "..."
"From this, it is evident that our actions are not abrupt, only somewhat premature. If possible, I suggest that this year’s Nobel Prize in Medicine should be awarded to this company’s ’Transcription Essence’ research team..."
