Chapter 352: Countries Jumping Eagerly

Giving money. They were all giving money to contribute to the construction cost of $100 billion for each Domed Base. The German government was willing to donate the cost of three Domed Bases. France was willing to donate enough money to build two, and the UK’s donation would cover the cost of one and a half bases. Spain, Italy, Switzerland, and other countries were willing to donate a third or half the money it would take to build a base.

After adding everything up and taking Europe as a whole, the construction costs for a total of eight Domed Bases were covered. Most of the developed countries in Europe offered to bear the costs.

That meant that more than 100 billion euros had landed in the pocket of Xing Hai Technologies of those countries’ own accord.

But it was unknown why European netizens were so happy about their governments giving such a huge amount of money just like that to Xing Hai Technologies. More than 80% of netizens across Europe were extremely pleased to see those donations.

They were so thrilled that they rejoiced and spread the word on the internet. Some even cried tears of joy.

“Oh God, this is awesome! We are saved!”

“Thanks to Xing Hai Technologies for saving us!”

“They should go, let’s quickly send those arrogant idlers away. We’ve had enough!”

“I am a gentle and peace-loving person, but many times, I’ve wanted those people to die. I hope they will get out of our homes. Those fast-growing cancer cells will ruin everything we have.”

“I would like to ask if Xing Hai Technologies needs volunteers. I am willing to go to Africa to help you; I want to help speed up the work efficiency and strive to complete the transformation of the desert as soon as possible.”

“12.5 billion euros for a permanent solution to those 3 million cancer cells; this is really worthwhile!”

Netizens all over Europe were caught up in joy and excitement. They were full of praise for Xing Hai Technologies and their fondness for the company was skyrocketing.

The news also quickly spread to Z country.

On the Internet, the netizens from Z country were very surprised. They were in uproar.

“What in the world is Xing Hai Technologies thinking? They’ve been obsessed with desert transformation for these past few years, fine. Now they are actually entertaining the idea of doing business that involves refugees. Just what does Xing Hai Technologies want?”

“Not only do they want to protect the environment, but they also want to engage in charity. They are simply throwing huge amounts of money away like fools. If you don’t want the money, give it to me. I’m short on money now.”

“Refugees are difficult customers. They all love to take but don’t give anything in return. They just enjoy life and don’t work! And Xing Hai Technologies wants to deal with them? They should get ready to be picked clean!”

“I really can’t understand what Xing Hai Technologies is doing. This feels like their final act.”

“Don’t they want to offer shelter to some clean, diligent and high-quality immigrants instead? Instead, they are sheltering refugees. Xing Hai Technologies, are you crazy?”

“This is a really stupid move. For unknown reasons, the ‘Xing Hai Law’ has involuntarily appeared in my mind. Everything that Xing Hai Technologies does is right. I think Xing Hai Technologies has more moves up its sleeve. Xing Hai Technologies is savvy. It never gets involved in any business that results in a loss.”

“Maybe! But it’s only a group of refugees! What benefits could they be getting? I still can’t accept it.”

“Does Xing Hai Technologies want to turn garbage into treasure? Is this possible?”

Most of the netizens found it hard to understand. Many blasted the company for being a rich fool.

After June 6th.

Xing Hai Technologies had once again received donations from charitable organizations in succession. The proportion of funds from by these charities were enough to build a Domed Base.

In addition, there were more than 10,000 volunteers who were willing to work for the company for free to help complete the transformation of the desert environment.

Together with funds donated by various western governments, that meant a total of 12 Domed Bases could be built.

One could see that western countries were very enthusiastic about Xing Hai Technologies’ “Dome Plan.” It could be said that they contributed whatever they could, be it money or labor. They actively cooperated with Xing Hai Technologies’ desert transformation work.

However, there was a country that had been unanimously attacked and criticized by western public opinion.

“A certain big country should bear the responsibility that belongs to her.”

“You should donate enough for at least 10 domes to be built.”

“We have done what we should do, but you’re not doing anything.”

Some media simply named the country. “Z country, you should be ashamed.”

After these sharp criticisms reached the ears of Z country, the majority of Z country’s netizens made their disagreement clear and fired off their refutations.

“Scram! The refugee problem was caused by you and has nothing to do with us!”

“Whoever caused the trouble is responsible for its solution. We’re not carrying this burden!”

“You can blame anyone except Z country. You don’t have the right.”

“It’s none of our business. We won’t spend a single cent. Our conscience is free from guilt in this matter.”

The netizens of Z country snarked back unceremoniously.

However, on the 10th of June, Chen Jin received a call from Ling Jundong and what he told him was very surprising.

“President Chen, I just received a call from the government. They have agreed to donate $200 billion to support Xing Hai Technologies’ Domed Base Plan. They will also give certain discounts on the relevant taxes to reduce the construction costs of the Domed Bases.”

“How is this possible?” Chen Jin was shocked. “There is no need for the country to spend this money. Why are they doing this?” He was extremely puzzled.

“I feel that it’s because of two reasons,” Ling Jundong said. “One, you may not know this very well President Chen, but more than one million illegal immigrants have entered Z country in the past few years! And the number of illegal immigrants is increasing at a rate of more than 100,000 per year. Foreign refugee groups are also targeting us. There were three international refugee groups with more than 50,000 people each who have gathered at our borders last year, intending to enter Z country.”

“Although our lifestyles have been improving these past few years, we still can’t be considered a developed country. But some western media have described Z country as a paradise. They even sponsored the travel costs for refugees to walk thousands of miles to Z country. Their sinister motives are infuriating.”

“Our media has refuted this, saying that the developed countries in the West are better than Z country. But the refugees find the words by the west to be more believable. Currently, with the exception of Merica, Z country has become the country that the refugees are most looking forward to entering. The mess was made by the west, but they’ve really thrown a part of that mess onto us.”

“So the government has no choice but to solve the problem with money, hoping our company can solve it.”

“Two, our country’s current comprehensive national strength is undoubtedly the world’s first. Our total GDP is more than $200 trillion. Our military power is so strong that Merica can’t match up to us. The only thing lacking is prestige and influence. We need to do something to enhance our popularity. This is where the dome plan comes in. If the government spends some money to provide a certain level of support, the western media will end its criticisms. Those smaller countries will also certainly have more confidence in Z country. For this reason alone, they have to spend some money to create a good reputation. This is probably the price of being a big country.”

Chen Jin nodded. Old Ling’s analysis was right. It was difficult to be a good person! A big country had its own big issues to deal with!

If you wanted to have a group of obedient “little brothers” surrounding you, it was inevitable that you would have to give some benefits as and when appropriate.

Moreover, this was also for the purpose of solving future troubles. Except for Merica, Z country was now the most desired country among the refugees. This was something that could cause every Z citizen’s blood to run cold.

It was actually within reason for the government to give a little money to support Xing Hai Technologies.

But even so, the company had only managed to raise construction funds for 14 Domed Bases. The number planned was about 300, so less than 5% of the funding issue was solved. Where would the remaining 95% of funds come from?

In fact, Chen Jin had never expected to get too much help from the government on the issue of funding. He was already very satisfied with 5%. What he needed most was the support of various governments for the Dome Plan.

This was within his expectations. The western countries strongly supported it, and Z country’s government had also expressed their support… This had eliminated Chen Jin’s apprehensions.

“Since the whole world supports me, how could this project fail?”

Moreover, there was no need to worry about funding. As for the 95% shortage in funds, Xing Hai Technologies would only bear a maximum of 10%. The remaining 85% would have countless capitalists fighting to finance a piece of it until there was nothing left.

This was also the last phase of the Dome Plan.
