Chapter 142 Donations
"The quickest way to increase your prestige now is nothing more than a few: donations, preaching, and destroying demons. Brenda said, tilting her head.
"Oh, donations. "Donating money to the poor, Lu Fan will never frown, but if he donates to the church and lets those divine servants take it to eat, drink and have fun, he will definitely be reluctant.
"It is to donate to the poor who are in need, and in the name of the church, so that you will gain the respect of a large number of parishioners, and your prestige will rise. Brenda said innocently. But when he heard these words, there was another awkwardness in Lu Fan's ears.
Ma De, why should Lao Tzu's hard-earned hard-earned money be donated in the name of the church, this is simply nonsense, but if you don't do what they want, your prestige will not be able to rise quickly, and why should you order those parishioners when the time comes?
"Well, it's okay to donate money, and it's okay to be together in the name of the church and me, but I'm new to the city, and although I'm already a cardinal, I don't know the big guy yet. Otherwise, you can first get all the clergy in Asia under my jurisdiction, and we will have a small meeting and study it, and then I will make a donation. How?"
"Yes, yes. Brenda jumped up happily and clapped her hands: "The people are really bitter, God will definitely bless you as a kind person like you." If the servants of the gods heard that you were going to make a donation, they would come to the meeting enthusiastically, and I will take care of this matter. β
"Hmm. As for preaching, I don't have that level, I don't even know what the Bible is, what do you think about that?"
Brenda thought for a moment: "Then it doesn't matter, you can fund the construction of a cathedral nearby, and then hire some respected bishops to come and teach for you, so that you can also gain the respect of the parishioners, but the cycle is longer." β
"Not necessarily. Lu Fan thought to himself, there were many churches in the capital that seemed to be unable to sustain themselves due to financial problems, so he could talk to someone and buy them, and it wouldn't cost a few dollars anyway. At least for me now, it's not much money.
"The rest is the Demon Removal Guardian Dao, but what is the Demon Elimination Guardian Dao?" Lu Fan smiled bitterly. In fact, he knew it in his heart.
"Oh. Brendana pursed Nu's red mouth: "Do you know who is the most terrifying in Western mythology?" Lu Fan said without thinking: "Fallen Angel Satan, I heard that he is the Seraphim with the strongest mana under God. Are you going to let me deal with him?"
"Of course not. Brenda rolled her eyes, "Satan is not easy to deal with. β
Lu Fan smiled in his heart and thought to himself, yes, if Satan was easy to deal with, then God would have killed him a long time ago, and he could still make trouble everywhere.
"So what do you meanβ"
"In Western mythology, the most terrifying things are werewolves and vampires, and they have also established an organization called the Dark Society, so you just have to deal with some vampires or werewolves, and the higher the level, the more respect you get," Brenda said. β
"Understood. Lu Fan stood up and clapped his hands: "Let's go, let's go catch a few werewolves to play, but, uh, where are the werewolves?"
"This, I don't know, they're all elusive. Brenda chuckled. Lu Fan thought to himself, John will naturally find a werewolf for me, but there is no need to be too anxious. So Lu Fan pondered: "Then let's have a meeting first, you just organize people to come over." β
Brenda left happily, and Lu Fan was not idle, although he donated in the name of the church, he would not donate to other places, so he took a taxi to Qin Shiyun, and asked Qin Shiyun to contact the person in charge of the Olympic Games, and went over to talk directly.
When the person in charge heard that Lu Fan was here to donate, he was not very enthusiastic at first, who knew that he didn't come over with ten yuan like a little girl. But when Lu Fan put 200 million RMB on the table, he suddenly became extremely enthusiastic.
"Sir, your kind of benevolence and righteousness, the country will not forget you, in the future, if you have any needs, you must bring it up to us, as long as it does not violate the record, we will definitely help. So grateful, so grateful. β
Lu Fan also politely greeted him in turn, saying that these were what he should do, and asked him not to be polite to himself, and then walked out. However, then Qin Shiyun secretly said that she was going to hold a press conference or something, and she didn't want to let her family run for nothing.
The person in charge immediately understood, so he ordered to go down, and a press conference would be held three days later to show the face of the donor.
Then Lu Fan went to the Civil Affairs Bureau again, and took out another 100 million yuan and donated it to those low-income households and five-guarantee households, and agreed to hold a press conference three days later to release it to the outside. It's just that in order to stagger the time, one is scheduled in the morning and the other is scheduled in the afternoon.
After doing these things, Lu Fan came back triumphantly, and Qin Shiyun didn't show any doubts about it, she had donated before, but she didn't donate so much.
"Brenda, how are things going?"
Brenda smiled and said, "Your Excellency, your qualifications are too shallow, and those high-ranking servants were reluctant to come over when they heard that you had convened a meeting, but as soon as they heard that you were going to donate money for the poor, they all agreed to come, and it is estimated that all of them will come to Chunjiang City within three days." β
"Good. For your sake, I will reward you. Lu Fan grinned and took out a string of pearl necklaces, which he bought for 500,000 yuan on the road, in order to bribe the spy not to speak ill of himself in front of Arthur.
As soon as he saw the pearl necklace, Branda's big eyes suddenly widened: "Wow, it looks so valuable, it must be a lot of money, isn't it, I can't accept this." Lu Fan smiled: "What money is not money, this is left by my grandmother, saying that I gave it to me, ah, my sister." β
"Then if you don't accept it, my grandmother will be disappointed. Lu Fan sighed: "After all, the dead are the greatest, right." β
"Oh, that's right, and you should mourn too. Hearing him say this, Brenda was embarrassed, and quickly took the necklace and put it around her neck. She was born very beautiful, and under the glow of this necklace, she looked more and more beautiful and flawless.
Lu Fan told Brenda about his donation plan, and waited for those servants to come over for a meeting. Brenda said that there were about two or three hundred people, and food and shelter were also a problem.
Lu Fan said that it was not a problem, so he called Qin Shiyun, Qin Shiyun thought about it, and said that they should all live in the resort of the Qin Group. She wondered when Lu Fan became religious, but she didn't ask much, anyway, this guy was always mysterious.
The next day, Lu Fan ran a few more churches, and it turned out that there was really a church of a small scale, which was decided to transfer because of the lack of funds due to "poor management". As soon as he heard that Lu Fan was the identity of the cardinal archbishop, he didn't say a word, and the price of 50 million was transferred.
Another day passed, and those divine servants began to come one after another, Lu Fan, Dongfang Liyue, and Mariov were busy with entertaining work. The Ghost Emperor of the Five Directions did not participate, because Lu Fan found that many of these divine servants had divine mana, and once they were discovered, it was not fun, so they might turn their faces on the spot and fight.
In the end, it was decided that the meeting would be held in the resort, and then a few ordinary bishops who could endure hardships and stand hard work and were knowledgeable were elected to preside over the church that Lu Fan had just bought, and this would be Archbishop Lu's dojo in the future. Don't you know, Archbishop Lu cultivates Taoist supernatural powers.
If this matter was known to the divine servants, it is estimated that he would have died in the church at that time, and Lu Fan's sins would be washed away with blood.
"Everyone is quiet, the cardinal archbishop has come out, and now he is invited to speak. Brenda presided over the meeting because he was familiar with the rules and traditions of the church. So from the beginning to the present, there have been no loopholes in the venue.
Everyone cleared their throats, tidied up their robes, and when they looked up, they saw a young and somewhat excessive child, wearing a bright red robe, stepping on the golden boots provided by the Holy See, and holding a scepter in his hand, walking in slowly.
"Hello everyone, my name is Lu Fan, you can call me Archbishop Lu. Lu Fan didn't know if what he said was right.
In an instant, the entire venue was silent, and many people who didn't know Lu Fan's details were stunned, how could he be a child.
But there were some high-ranking servants, and their expressions did not change at all, because they had done their homework beforehand and asked Arthur, and Arthur told them. Others have checked on the Internet. Lu Fan's matter has long been spread on the Internet.
"Archbishop, on behalf of all the servants of God, I extend my sincerest greetings to you, I am Archbishop Chen Gang in white. An elderly Oriental man stood up and said. It can be seen that he is also a Chinese, and he is very knowledgeable and respected.
"Oh, hello Bishop Chen, please sit down, don't be inhibited. Lu Fan looked at it, the people here have all skin colors, but there are mostly Asians, and some of them are obviously Philippine and Thai, it is estimated that they also speak English, Lu Fan knows nothing about it.
After many people greeted Lu Fan, Lu Fan found that there were still a large number of people who seemed to disagree with him, so he came up with a killer idea: "This time, the total amount I want to donate is 350 million." This includes 200 million for the Olympics, 100 million for the civil affairs department, and 50 million for a church. β
As the saying goes, money can make ghosts grind, even in this so-called sacred occasion, money is still rampant, as soon as these words are said, those who are not convinced, their eyes immediately change. Lu Fan suddenly felt that his prestige value had risen by a large amount.
