SIGNING IN: BEING SHOWERED BY HEAVENLY BLESSINGS FOR FIVE YEARS-Chapter 961 - 959: UNTITLED
In the week that followed, Diamond’s butt barely rested.
She left home every morning and returned home late at night.
With so many companies under her, she felt that it was a good chance for her to see what was happening with her own eyes.
So, every single day, she visited a single company and spent a day there. The staff were either excited or on tenterhooks. After all, any mistakes might lead to undesirable results. No one wanted to meet a sad ending and lose such a paying job.
At the same time, the fan projects ended beautifully and Diamond was truly happy with how the matter was handled.
At night, she would spend watching the videos taken by the crew teams or the fans. That was all good material for her weekly programs which were doing well. However, with Ivy’s reminder, she noticed that she was about to run out of some content for other programs.
It seems that she might need to record more and do her best in the matter.
-------
On the 26th of June, a beautiful Monday morning, Diamond, went to the studio for work this time. There was something serious to talk about at work. She couldn’t afford not to go.
When she arrived, in her Khaleesi van, she stood in front of the building with a smile.
’My capable grandchildren!’ she couldn’t help but praise her AI grandkids, who were now busy with the Radiance Manor and doing pretty much well.
Of course, whenever they feel like not wanting to play human, they could swap with their siblings. There would be no difference, anyway.
Ivy stood next to Diamond, not asking what she was up to, though she had an inkling of why she might be doing that.
The building was fully renovated and could now be used as a whole.
In other words, in Diamond’s eyes, apart from her studio, the company could now start taking on projects that could bring in money that didn’t need to be donated in the future.
After all, only her income was the one getting donated. She couldn’t run a charity entertainment agency. What would the artists eat in the future?
Anyway, after admiring the completely renovated building, she stepped into the building.
She was welcomed with warm reception and returned the enthusiasm as she took the elevator to the top floor, where the studio was.
When she got there, everyone was waiting for her already.
She started with the general meeting where they talked about the fans project and what the team crews felt needed changing and all that.
The meeting lasted for two hours until the meeting was adjourned.
After the general meeting ended, Diamond met with Ivy and Julie for another special meeting.
Diamond sat there as she watched the projector screen as Julie made the presentation.
"Regarding the foundation, we have already purchased one hundred vehicles for each institution. We have the ambulances, the police cars, and as for the fire brigade; we split them into the following.
We ordered ten fire trucks (to be distributed in the urban areas), ten fire tankers (for the rural firefighting), and eighty rescue vehicles.
All these vehicles will be distributed country-wide, rather than limiting to Frin City. This way, we can target other countries as soon as possible, to avoid any dissatisfaction amongst the fans."
Diamond didn’t expect that the team would think further than her. She simply had her city in mind first and wanted to give it the best, but didn’t think after that.
Anyway, this significant donation was already enough. She didn’t find anything to object to.
Seeing her going along, Julie continued, "Due to the donation nature, we managed to receive a favorable discount and also signed a contract with the distributor. We can continue to receive more favorable conditions in the future. They will prioritize us and don’t worry; we signed an iron-clad contract with the help of lawyer Kiara."
Diamond nodded in agreement. She trusted Kiara when it comes to legal matters. Moreover, she loved discounts. That money could be used to buy something again. So why fuss?
The prices of the vehicles were as follows: fire tankers – A$1,5 million, fire trucks – A$800,000, ambulances - A$250,000, rescue cars - A$180,000 and police patrol cars – A$125,000.
With the distributor giving a friendly 10% discount, the total bill was reduced from A$79,9 million, to A$67,41 million.
"With the vehicles already ordered and waiting delivery, I think that its time we put the foundation site online. When do you think is the best time?"
"Um, I think that starting at the first day of the month would be good. So, lets promote the site on the 30th and then put it online on the 1st of July. You can work with that, right?" Diamond suggested as she looked at the two.
"Sure, that can be done."
"Good. Have you started looking for more people? You cant be working alone when the foundation starts getting busy."
They started talking about the employees and seeing that Ivy had everything in order, Diamond no longer imposed much on her.
Before the end of the meeting, Diamond managed to see how the funds had been attributed. After all, from the initial funds she remembered, the purchasing amount of the vehicles seemed to have surpassed the agreed 15%.
When she finally looked at the accounts, her face twitched. When did the funds increased so much like that?
As it so happens, the last time she checked, there was around A$200 million of funds, and yet in these past few weeks, the fans once again showed how powerful they were with their purchasing power.
The majority of the merch was nearly finished and a new order had to be made. The songs were being downloaded, and with fans clamoring for more songs.
That put pressure on her.
Anyway, the accounts showed that the finds had doubled and reached nearly A$450 million, which was truly unexpected.
So, the 15%, was really taken out from there. thankfully, the discount made it possible to remain on track.
However, the doubling also made it possible for the entertainment agency to have a starting capital of more than one hundred million. That was truly insane.
The remaining funds were for the real purpose of the foundation and she could see a lot of fans getting help. She was looking forward to that, to be honest.
For the future income, it shall be divided and transferred to its designated accounts, to avoid any confusion.
After listening to that, Diamond finally felt at ease.
With everything laid out, the meeting finally came to an end and Diamond was finally free from a long week of working.
It was time for a nice date.
She needed it and deserved it.
