Chapter 190 Cheers to the Patriarchs, Return to the Camp
"So why are you looking for me?" he asked again.
Wang Ye didn't waste any time and got straight to the point, "It's like this. I wanted to buy some exercise books for the children in that school.
However, we didn't have the time to buy them ourselves. Plus, everyone was there at that time, and I didn't have any cash on me. It wouldn't be good to say too much.
That's why I'm secretly reaching out to you now that I'm back.
I want to ask, if I donate some money to this school, do you think it's okay?"
Wang Ye wasn't planning to coerce others into donating money, but if he did it publicly, as he mentioned last night, then even if others didn't want to donate, even if they didn't have much money, they would have to contribute some.
So, Wang Ye had never brought up this matter, not even when he was with Ye Sanshi just now.
Wu Jianfeng was taken aback for a moment. He didn't expect Wang Ye to approach him for something like this.
"How much are you planning to donate?" he inquired.
"Somewhere between eighty and ninety thousand!" Wang Ye's smile remained, "My mom gave me 100,000 yuan as pocket money, but it doesn't seem like I'll have any expenses in the military to use up that much money. I'll also receive a subsidy when I'm off duty."
If it falls short, I'll set aside another 10,000 to 20,000. The rest will go toward the donation!"
After saying that, Wang Ye added, "The kid from that school is really adorable. Though I haven't seen them in person, the drawings and words on the blackboard touched me deeply."
Moreover, this school doesn't seem to have good facilities. And it's situated in a remote mountainous area of our country, still in need of teachers.
That's why I thought of this!"
Wu Jianfeng walked closer and locked eyes with Wang Ye.
Suddenly, he broke into a smile.
"You're quite considerate, kid. I'm on board with this, but I need to run it by the uppers."
Tomorrow, I'll discuss it with the regiment commander. After that, I'll arrange a day for you to go there in person to make the donation.
However, you have to be certain that if you commit to this, you can't back out.
Also, you need to confirm the amount, whether it's 80,000 or 90,000."
Wu Jianfeng was aware of Wang Ye's family background.
So, apart from being pleased that Wang Ye wanted to donate money, he didn't have many reservations.
In any case, in his view, Wang Ye was a little mogul. If he wanted to donate, then so be it.
Wang Ye nodded, his smile unwavering, "I won't have any regrets. Let's go with 90,000 then. I'll hold onto 10,000!"
At the moment, Wang Ye wasn't particularly concerned about money. Not only had his family become affluent in this lifetime, but he also possessed 20,000 bitcoins.
Of course, he might not be able to convert the bitcoins into cash.
However, he could eventually disclose this to his father and ask him to trade them abroad for money.
Perhaps when the time came, he might still be serving in the military. By then, he would likely have established a reputation for himself. In such a scenario, he could report to his superiors and contribute half of the amount to support national defense initiatives. The remainder could be secured without a doubt.
After all, he had devised bitcoin before enlisting in the military. He had casually mentioned back then that he was experimenting while bored with gaming and happened to take a liking to it. He had no inkling that it would appreciate so significantly in value.
There were many plausible explanations. In the future, Wang Ye could even venture into other virtual currencies as a façade.
In any case, the transaction records could verify that he had mined it himself.
With an untarnished background, converting it into cash wouldn't pose any issues.
Moreover, Wang Ye was aware that his parents had seemingly encountered another lucrative opportunity.
E-commerce.
If everything unfolded as expected, perhaps Wang Ye wouldn't need to exert much effort. His father's endeavors could propel him to billionaire status even if he were to lie back and relax…
