Silence…
Still silence…
Dead silence…
Still dead silence…
After five minutes, the guests still could not recover from their shock. These compensations and preferential treatment were too generous!
It was so generous that it was unbelievable!
The businessmen with factories or companies in the slum had worried that their businesses would suffer great losses in the slum’s governance. However, they were not scared now!
If the purification facilities and pollution drains were not up to standard, they could purchase the purification and sewage facilities at a minimum cost with the help of the Dorodo government.
Although improving employee welfare and basic treatment would bring financial damage to their factories or companies, the Dorodo government would help them expand to generate revenue and profit. In this way, they could offset the loss caused by the increase in their employees’ wages and benefits.
They would make more money than ever!
Even those with no businesses in the slum could get preferential treatment and enjoy some privileges in Dorodo afterward, which was equally good compensation.
Bjorne got the biggest gain of all!
He had been nothing more than a weapons dealer, buying weapons from other cities, shipping them to Dorodo, and supplying them to Dorodo’s city defense army for a profit. However, Dorodo was going to help Bjorne build his own weapons factory in the slum.
In this way, he would go from being a weapons dealer to a weapons manufacturer, and he would be the only one of Dorodo’s weapons manufacturers to receive government approval and support.
Bjorne was almost knocked unconscious by so much free money!
“Dad…” Mozart grabbed Bjorne‘s wrist, tears welling in her eyes.
“We made the right choice. I knew we wouldn’t suffer if we took Commander Joe’s side, and it turns out we made a lot of money instead of losing…” Bjorne said excitedly to his daughter.
The people around them cast envious glances at Bjorne. However, they could only envy him. None of them was jealous.
Bjorne was the biggest donor besides Dora and Mayor Quentin. He was not the richest person in the room. His assets could only be ranked in the upper-middle class. He was no match for the Wosh family and the Montana family.
However, Bjorne donated the most!
