King Of War: Starting with Arms Dealer

Jemma Alexander was a natural-born socialite!

In the face of a group of princes and princesses, the socialite daughter from America performed with ease and grace.

Without needing any introductions, she quickly got acquainted with princesses and princesses alike, thanks to her status as a pediatrician.

Upon hearing Joe Ga's summons, Jemma Alexander politely bid farewell to Crown Princess Victoria and approached Joe Ga. She first greeted Princess Briella and Dorian with a smile, and offered two bananas as 'protection fees' to prevent Dorian from flipping up her skirt.

Then, as she looked at Joe Ga, she said, "The medicine collection is almost complete, and the first batch will be the most crucial vaccines.

Right now, the staff at Sangha Town Hospital is still too few. We can only help you train a batch of nurses, but there are still not enough professional doctors..."

Seeing that Jemma was habitually starting to offer support, Joe Ga shook his head helplessly and said, "Beautiful lady, that's not the right attitude. You should talk about this at the fundraising banquet, or wait to say it at the park opening ceremony a week from now.

I'm discussing this with you because I want to tell you that there will be a grand opening ceremony for the park in a week's time.

I just want to ask you, is it possible to merge the media resources of those pharmaceutical companies with this event, do some pre-heating here, and then go to Sangha Town to deliver warmth.

At that time, I can have those princes and princesses cooperate with you, and perhaps your $40 million charity foundation can expand a bit more. Or we can help Princess Charlene start a new charity foundation. That way, she not only has an excuse to come here every year, but she can also provide you with some side assistance."

As he spoke, Joe Ga tapped his forehead and said, "Right, I hadn't thought of this before. You can use your own channels to get access to medicines, and Charlene's charity foundation can help train medical staff in Central Africa.

This big shot has a lot of clout. If she sends people to Europe for training, those medical universities probably won't dare to charge much for tuition."

Jemma was already somewhat accustomed to Joe Ga's attitude of using the charity foundation like his own money.

This Sangha Town bigwig might not spend much time there, but there are plenty of legends about him circulating in the town.

The United Nations emblem doesn't carry as much weight in Sangha Town as the P·B logo.

Nowadays, many locals call Jemma 'the Angel of P·B' because she cured many children's diseases.

At first, Jemma would explain that she had nothing to do with P·B and that she was a doctor from the United Nations Red Cross, but now she no longer bothers to explain.

Faced with Joe Ga's impromptu planning, Jemma smiled and shook her head saying, "Our medicine plan was initiated a month ago, and everyone's schedule has been arranged.

Your sudden changes might not be something the pharmaceutical companies are willing to go along with.

You have to understand that they are American pharmaceutical companies, and these companies are generally involved in lawsuits in Europe. Their image isn't as good as you imagine.

If you really put them together with Princess Charlene, their limelight will definitely be stolen."

After hearing this, Joe Ga sighed and said, "True, we've taken their money, so we have to consider their prestige.

So let's do this: at that time, you'll be responsible for delivering a statement on their behalf, showcasing their commitment to charity in Central Africa.

We have quite a bit of media coming this time, and those people's medicines and money haven't shown up yet, so we'll emphasize it thoroughly and lock them in.

If they dare to fob us off with about-to-expire medicines, you'll be in charge of holding a tearful press conference."

Jemma was amused by Joe Ga, this bigwig from Africa who'd never been to America yet understood so well the power of leveraging the media.

Once he found a political lever in the United States, such a person could achieve many things that seemed unimaginable to ordinary people.

After thinking it over for a moment, Jemma nodded and said, "I will contact my mother to draft the content of the statement.

You know, this Central Africa project is tied to the reputation and interests of many people, so I need to be cautious."

As she spoke, Jemma, observing Joe Ga's contemptuous expression, linked arms with Nis, jokingly saying, "This guy is greedy. You have to be careful around him."

Nis showed a hint of a smile, shook her head, and said, "He's not doing all this for himself!

As long as I know he cares about me, that's enough!"

When Nis spoke, her undeniable confidence infected Jemma.

The girl paused for a moment and then, trying to act nonchalant, rubbed her arms and said, "You're right. So, Mrs. Hu Lang, the hospital now needs a batch of medical equipment. Can you think of a way to help?

I've reached out to many people, and a few hospitals in America are willing to sell their outdated machines.

If we could get a CT machine along with a few blood testing devices, our diagnosis and treatment process would be much simpler!"

Facing this straightforward request for funding for the first time, Nis thought for a moment and then nodded, saying, "I have some bank savings, about 5.5 million US dollars. Is that enough?"

This time it was Jemma who was stunned. She looked at Nis's clear, bright eyes, shook her head with a chuckle, and said, "Your approach is going to make many people feel ashamed, but I'll still take the money—about 250,000 US dollars should be enough."

"You see, I'm not doing this for myself, so I don't feel guilty at all."

"Do you think I've found the 'charity code'?"

Nis glanced at Joe Ga, who was laughing and chatting with Jemma's fiancé, TC, with an arm around his shoulder, and after a long silence, she said, "I don't know what the charity code is, but I believe what he said...

"He said that the core of charity is to mobilize and integrate willing funds and forces, to help those who are suffering, while letting all participants gain 'charitable returns', giving them the motivation to continue doing charity work."

"I've never quite understood, but I think you should understand, and Princess Charlene seems to understand as well."

Jemma blinked her eyes, pondering for a moment before nodding and saying, "You're right, but the reality is that there is a great deal of flexibility in the execution.

"Because many people are not satisfied with simple 'charitable feedback', there are too many things that need to be mediated here."

"Devil Bird, it's really hard to do a good thing, especially to organize a group of people to do good deeds.

"If one day I find myself unable to persevere, will you help me?"

Nis, who interacted with Jemma the most in the team because of her frequent visits to Sangha Town, nodded slightly in response to Jemma's question and said, "Although all I can do is shoot, if you can keep up with your current cause, I will help you whenever you need!"

Jemma looked at Nis, whose facial emotions weren't rich, but who was remarkably sincere, and smiled as she went forward to give her a hug, saying earnestly, "Everyone is searching for their life's value, I found my 'start' in Central Africa, and then I will follow this path all the way."

"I don't know if I can stick it out to the end, but I believe with your help, I can go very far."

As they spoke, Jemma, seeming to feel it wasn't too good to always talk about such things, walked to the restaurant arm in arm with Nis, laughing as she said, "Let's go to the United States together after a while, you must come to my house as a guest, we can go shopping together, and I can introduce you to some friends.

"Let those men take care of their careers, and we'll be responsible for enjoying life during the holidays."

As Jemma was speaking, they reached the doorway of the restaurant, then she was hit by a strange smell from inside and stepped back.

Compared to Old Bull, who looked utterly content, Tony had stuffed two rolls of paper into his nostrils, carrying four steaming hot pots on a large tray like they were biochemical weapons, hurrying outside.

If this continued, the restaurant would become unbearable...

Watching a group of princesses flee in disarray from the smell of stinky tofu, Old Bull chuckled, took off his protectors, and walked out. As he passed Nis, he said with a laugh, "Devil Bird, you have to try this. It's something the boss has been craving for a long time. I even called up an expert to learn from and studied for a long time to make this stinky tofu. It tastes fantastic!"

Compared to Nis's composure, Jemma was pushed back again and again by the smell on Old Bull.

Seeing Nis almost eager to try, Jemma curiously asked, "So, what exactly is that? Why would anyone want to eat something smelly?"

Dorian, passing by with a strange voice, said, "It's a Chinese quirk, I absolutely don't believe anyone could actually eat that stuff. If..."

Before Dorian could finish, close by, Tong Tong, sniffing the air, let out a cheer and then rushed over to Tony...

"Quick, quick, give me a taste, it's been so long since I've had such authentic stinky tofu."

Joe Ga could say with a clear conscience that he, too, was hit by the stench when the hot pot was uncovered.

The stinky tofu he had eaten back in China was definitely not as potent as the one made by Old Bull.

After that moment passed, it was actually okay, but Tong Tong was really bold.

While others were still hesitating, she took a fork, pierced a swollen stinky tofu that had been boiled, filled it with soup, and then popped it whole into her mouth.

Watching the girl jump from the scald yet refuse to spit it out, Joe Ga smiled at Charlene, who had a 'don't trick me' expression, then leaned down to Briella who was pinching her nose and coming closer and said, "Do you want to try?

"This is a Chinese specialty; after you've tried it, you'll find out that there are levels to the culinary delights of this world.

"What the nose smells and what the tongue tastes can sometimes be different."

The young elephant Danbao was a bit annoyed with the little sister Briella, but since she could lead her to many delicious treats, she decided to tolerate her for now.

As Joe Ga spoke, Danbao nudged Briella forward with her trunk and then let out a snort, signaling her to 'hurry up'.

Briella, already at the peak of her curiosity and seeing her 'rival' Tong Tong enjoying the food, pulled her brother Jacques over, driven by the thought that if her enemy dared to eat, she should too.

Then...

"Wow~ it actually tastes good!"
