P.S.: (I won't write much about the flood plot, for fear of being censored. The chapters that were previously censored are already available to read.)
Not long after, Wujiang Group's announcement of a donation of 5 billion RMB caused a national sensation.
Amidst the shock, people couldn't help but praise Wujiang Group and Zhao Ye immensely.
"Wujiang Group not only donated a large amount of supplies, but also so much money. Truly remarkable! If China had a charity ranking, Zhao Ye would definitely be the number one philanthropist in the country!!!"
"Zhao Ye has donated so much money, we should at least do our part!"
"That's right. Everyone should contribute money or effort. If everyone gives a little love, the world will become a better place!"
"..."
Upon seeing this, people from all walks of life enthusiastically donated money and supplies, including countless overseas compatriots around the world, creating a massive wave of donations.
Foreign media were stunned by what they saw!
They had never seen such a united and cohesive nation and country!
Subsequently, when foreign media saw that Chinese soldiers had risked their lives to build a "dam" to fight the flood, they were even more shocked!
How is this possible?!
How did they do that?!
Aren't they afraid of dying?
Chinese soldiers are truly terrifying!!!
A flood has become a testament to the great love and responsibility of humanity, and to the brilliance of human nature.
By the end of August, China had achieved victory in the fight against the floods.
China's mobilization capabilities and the unity between its military and people demonstrate the immense strength of China, leaving the world in awe!
This is the ancient and powerful Eastern nation!
This is China, a civilization with a history of five thousand years!
Foreigners were stunned and couldn't help but admire such a country.
This sparked curiosity and interest in China among countless foreigners.
"It's unbelievable that such a poor country like China can unleash such amazing power. The national cohesion is truly awe-inspiring. This is something that no other country in the world has, especially immigrant countries like the US, which have no national heritage at all. But thinking about it, it makes sense. If they can immigrate to the US, they can certainly immigrate to other countries as well. For these people, whichever country is more developed, they will immigrate to that country, but they will never develop any deep feelings for that country..." A European sighed, his heart filled with envy.
At this time, post-disaster reconstruction work had already begun in China.
The government has also begun to reward those who have made significant contributions to flood relief and disaster recovery efforts.
During the CCTV Evening News, the leader spent several minutes praising Zhao Ye and the Wujiang Group, specifically pointing out that without the Wujiang Group's resolute decision to invest a massive $50 billion in the Three Gorges Dam, the severity of the floods would have been several times greater. The Wujiang Group saved countless lives and property!
When the news broke, people realized that what Wujiang Group had done far exceeded their expectations.
Why would Wujiang Group invest in building the Three Gorges Dam? This mega-project, with its massive investment and long construction period, is clearly not a good project at all. Don't you see other companies rushing to invest in projects that offer quick and huge profits? Only Wujiang Group is being so "foolish"!
"Damn, I'm so moved I almost cried! Wujiang Group is truly a great company. From now on, all my spending will be on Wujiang Group! Wujiang Group deserves to make money!!!" A Chinese netizen commented excitedly.
"At this moment, I am also deeply moved by Wujiang Group's actions! We must give strong support to such a great company as Wujiang Group, and everyone should buy Wujiang Group's products from now on!"
"..."
The news caused a nationwide sensation after it spread.
Countless people flocked to Wujiang flagship store, Wujiang supermarket, Wanjiang department store, Amazon website, and Taobao website to shop.
Shopping spree!!!
Many physical retail stores sold out of their stock in just one or two days.
Zhao Ye was stunned when he heard the news.
Many people don't actually lack anything at home, but they keep buying things to support Wujiang Group.
After considering it for a while, Zhao Ye held a press conference to urge everyone to consume rationally.
However, netizens don't seem to be buying it.
"Rational consumption? Sorry, I don't like rational consumption, what's it to you? If you know what's good for you, hurry up and get the factories working overtime to produce more goods, I still want to buy!!!"
"With clear skies and bright prospects, life is worthwhile. Wujiang Group, just focus on selling goods, leave the rest to us!"
"..."
Suddenly, Wujiang Group's revenue surged, generating 100 billion RMB in just one week, astonishing countless companies both domestically and internationally.
They then discovered that doing charity and winning people's hearts could bring such great rewards, which made them passionate about philanthropy in the future. This led to the scale of philanthropy in China being far larger than in their previous life, thus helping even more people. Of course, that's a story for later, so let's leave it at that.
...
...
As time went by, the "wild consumption" trend subsided.
However, Wujiang Group's market share in China has increased significantly compared to before.
Moreover, the philanthropic aura surrounding Wujiang Group provides it with an additional layer of protection.
At the end of 1998, the Lujiazui mega-project was finally completed.
On this small piece of land, dozens of beautiful skyscrapers stand out, including the "world's tallest building"—the Wujiang Tower!
The Wujiang Tower is 828 meters tall and has a "Y"-shaped facade. It consists of three building parts that gradually connect to form a core. The surrounding area includes the Wujiang Shopping Center, 19 residential buildings, a 2.5-hectare park, and a 12-hectare lake.
