Chapter 615: Chapter 519 Sweet Bun (Seeking Subscription!)_1
It was not even eleven o’clock.
The news had already spread throughout the Internet, startling many people on their weekend break. This foundation really was ambitious and wealthy, investing billions of RMB with no prior warning.
Bai Fei had underestimated the foundation’s influence and the speed of the internet. Just like that, the phone calls started pouring in.
"Chairman Bai, what’s going on?" The Vice Chairman of the foundation called directly, sounding anxious. Such a big deal, and as Vice Chairman, he had no idea. He was indeed worried, but he managed to stay calm, knowing that Bai Fei wasn’t a reckless person.
Bai Fei hastily explained: "It was decided from above, I alone wouldn’t dare make such a decision. They have already negotiated with the state, I will explain the specifics in tomorrow’s meeting."
"...."
The other party fell silent. From above, the state, of course he knew what that meant. This decision was made by their ’mysteriously’ big boss and involved the state. Indeed, there was no need to inform him. At least Bai Fei didn’t make this decision on his own, that was comforting.
"Well then, we’ll discuss it in tomorrow’s meeting. Bai, you scared me, I thought you did this on your own." The Vice Chairman sighed with relief.
"Haha, how would I dare." Bai Fei responded with a hearty laugh.
After a bit more chatting, Bai Fei hung up the call.
Following this...
Bai Fei’s phone started ringing non-stop. Various people called one after another. After confirming the authenticity of the news, they tried to leverage their connections to get the hospital project set up in their area. Since the announcement clearly stated that it was only for second and third-tier cities, no big shots from the municipalities called, otherwise, Bai Fei would have been swamped.
An entire morning...
Bai Fei spent the whole morning answering calls. Finally, he simply stopped taking calls and went to read in his study. Right now, the entire foundation was like a giant cake. In the past, due to help content restrictions, the money was mostly earned by hospitals.
Seeing that the foundation had so much money, many hospitals started considering raising treatment prices. Not now, though, ’Little Angels’ are currently in the spotlight and no one dares make such a move. It would be a joke to their future. They plan to revisit this idea once the charity loses some visibility.
Now...
After the foundation started venturing into hospital projects, they will definitely prioritize their own hospitals for treatment. Many people will choose these hospitals first, leaving a large sum of money out of reach for many other hospitals. This is something many people don’t want to witness.
Thus...
Some people in the medical industry began to stir unease, trying to pull strings to nip this development in the bud. Even with a sky-high influence, even if the hospital is well-built, they can still prevent it from acquiring enough doctors.
Apart from hospitals, other industries were more excited. They had no part in earning money before, but now they have the opportunity to earn.
A single project...
Represents an opportunity to earn money. Billions of investment and desire to earn this money brings people from designing, exploration, planning, construction, supervision, landscaping, decoration, medical devices, medicines and so on. The list of industries involved was just too long.
Especially the hospital project. It does not only represent investment, but also fame. An opportunity to gain nationwide recognition, therefore, many local governments have dispatched people to Beijing to pass the first round of screenings. They have also prepared various preferential policies.
Land...
There is not a single local government condition that includes land fees, and there are many other preferential policies.
The public opinion on the internet is one-sided praises. No one dares to criticize ’Little Angels’ now, as the beneficiaries are simply too many. Especially the previous opening of loans for children with serious illnesses, it has practically become a lifesaver for many families.
’Little Angels’ has saved too many families. Now they are an indispensable online force. Anyone who dares to criticize ’Little Angels’ would be immediately bombarded with abusive comments, causing them to question their life decisions.
Watching the social public opinion and the constant phone calls...
This time...
Bai Fei genuinely felt like he had engaged in a ’big deal’.
....
On the other hand...
Tang Qing was also paying attention to the situation of the ’Little Angels Foundation’. Knowing that Bai Fei had hastily announced a notice, causing praises on the internet, Tang Qing chuckled. Bai Fei really was cute, he completely lacked the grace and negotiations skills of an old player in this field.
Perhaps it was just this ’innocence’ and ’impulsivity’ that allowed him to carry on his tasks without resentment or regrets.
That was quite good.
The command room contacted the state in the morning about this issue, asking if they had any objections to their decision. After a few calls to Beijing, they got the following reply: Agree, and provide appropriate support.
It was then followed up by that call with Bai Fei.
Tang Qing knew the principles on Beijing’s side, as long as the money didn’t leave the country, they generally would not interfere with how the money was spent. Why couldn’t it leave the country? Because if you go out, it will inevitably consume the country’s foreign exchange reserves. Just as it was firmly in hand, they couldn’t let you run around freely.
But Tang Qing had a solution. The foundation’s investments were not only domestic, but also overseas. Cross-border funds were a certainty, but where to go required careful consideration. Tang Qing wasn’t worried about not getting approval when it came to that.
Ten hospitals...
Tang Qing estimated it should be enough for the foundation’s use. After all, the country has more than these few hospitals. It is impossible for everyone to squeeze in here. However, if it’s not enough, they’ll deal with it then. There’s no need to worry about matters so far in the future now.
Hence...
’Little Angels’ truly completed its subsidiary organization setup. From now on, it will just let these subsidiary organizations play their roles. Once these projects are completed, ’Little Angels’ won’t have any plans for new orphanages or hospitals for at least the next three years.
The future focus will be on investment in biotechnology and medical equipment, directly eliminating certain diseases for good, instead of building more hospitals for money. This is what a foundation should do.
After a short while of monitoring...
Tang Qing stopped paying attention. If he was an ordinary person, the more detailed the news, the better, especially news like this. Many people want to see if there is any inside story or gossip.
But as Tang Qing, the initiator of the project, who understands all the ins and outs and processes of the whole thing, as well as the future direction of development, had no interest in paying attention to it anymore.
Tang Qing liked this feeling of ’omniscience’, he enjoyed creating news.
And so, a day had passed.
The rain poured all day in Shanghai, making it feel incessantly wet, but inside the villa, it was as warm as spring, blocking out the chill from outside.
At night.
No words were needed.
Tang Qing spent another two hours teasing Lin Jiaxue before stopping. Afterward, Lin Jiaxue stated that she had to exercise regularly in the future, otherwise, it wouldn’t be manageable to do this each time. To this, Tang Qing expressed his full support.
Watching as Lin Jiaxue fell into a deep sleep.
Tang Qing then began today’s cultivation plan.
He was ready to experience what the Gravity Room and Recovery Cabin felt like.
Teleporting into the Training Center, Tang Qing, without words, began to levitate step by step, speeding towards the skyscraper in the middle of the lake, ’walking’ hundreds of meters above ground, enjoying the feel of the rushing wind, Tang Qing felt incredibly exhilarated.
Ten minutes later.
Tang Qing landed at the entrance of the skyscraper.
He went directly to the fifth floor.
Following the guidance, he entered a gravity room that covered thousands of square meters and was filled with various exercise equipment. It somewhat resembled a gym, but there were many devices that he didn’t recognize.
"System, what’s the maximum gravity multiplier in this Gravity Room?" Tang Qing asked curiously.
"Host, the maximum gravity multiplier on each floor corresponds to the number of floors, so the gravity room on the fifth floor corresponds to five times gravity," the system explained.
After some thought, Tang Qing decided to start with one gravity multiplier.
"System, let’s start with one gravity multiplier."
’One gravity multiplier mode activated, ten, nine, ... one.’
When the system counted down to ’one’, Tang Qing, who was prepared, only felt a sudden heaviness in his body. It seemed... a bit heavy. He frowned, took a few steps, and noticed something was off. One gravity multiplier shouldn’t matter to him. Even if his body was twice as heavy, it shouldn’t feel this heavy, as if it was five or six times heavier.
"System, are you sure this is just one gravity multiplier?" Tang Qing asked doubtfully.
"Yes, host." The system answered.
"Then why do I feel it’s more than that, it feels way too heavy." Tang Qing was skeptical.
The system said, "Host, in the Gravity Room, gravity affects not just the physical body but also Origin Energy. The stronger the cellular Origin Energy, the more intensity of gravity one feels. This Gravity Room is designed to train both the physical body and cellular Origin Energy, so there is no mistake."
After listening, Tang Qing was left speechless.
It was a real ’you won’t tell unless asked’ situation.
And there were damn hidden settings.
No wonder it felt so damn heavy. Moreover, five times gravity for someone who has unlocked a level 5 Gene Lock wouldn’t be a big deal, otherwise, a five times gravity multiplier could hardly be useful.
Thankfully he didn’t just jump straight into the five times gravity experiment, or he would have had to sprawl on the ground, which would indeed be embarrassing.
Moving around a bit.
Tang Qing felt it was manageable.
"System, turn on two times gravity."
...
"System, turn on three times gravity."
...
Eventually, Tang Qing was aware of his limit, which was the four times gravity. Under four times gravity, Tang Qing’s actions were severely restricted, and every step he took was shaky, and he walked sluggishly.
But being able to move was okay, Tang Qing knew that it was his first time in the Gravity Room and he was not used to it. Once he became used to the four times gravity, his physical fitness would be enough to function under five times gravity.
Not wanting to waste time.
Tang Qing slowly walked around in the Gravity Room. At this point, Tang Qing noticed something, that under the condition of his body being suppressed, he could actually perceive the Origin Energy in his cells. Previously, he could only perceive it as some kind of airflow, but now he could perceive the faint power inside the cells.
An understanding crept into his mind.
Could cellular Origin Energy be the key to break through physical attributes?
It seemed to be the case. Before, the Origin Qi Value he obtained could not only increase spirit attributes and boost Nerve Telekinesis but also enhance physical attributes. Wasn’t this the original setting?
Perceiving the cellular Origin Energy, Tang Qing attempted to control it.
