On behalf of the Russian Automobile Industry Group, Katya donated 100 million US dollars to the disaster area in the names of Jaguar Land Rover and Volvo!
Although this amount was nowhere near as astonishing as Zhang Xiaoxi's 10 billion, it was still an extremely generous contribution. The three brands under the Russian Automobile Industry Group had only entered the domestic market a few years ago. Their sales were decent, but it was hard to say they had made much money yet.
Now, putting up 100 million US dollars was equivalent to giving its brands a massive advertisement. In an instant, people across the country remembered Jaguar Land Rover and Volvo.
After all, no other foreign-funded automobile companies had been this generous...
In this life, because the three brands had been acquired by Wang Ye, great effort had gone into production quality and technological improvements. Their reputations had already been quite good, and now they had become famous because of their donations.
It was easy to imagine that these three brands would sell extremely well in the domestic market in the future.
So Katya's donation was quite reasonable. It could simply be considered brand promotion.
In addition, Yukos Group, Gazprom Industry, and even Little Eagle Group announced donations of disaster-relief supplies worth more than 100 million US dollars each. They had not donated cash directly, but clearly, at a time like this, relief supplies were even more practical.
The most extravagant was United Aviation Group, which announced it would donate twenty heavy transport helicopters!
This was truly timely aid. At the time, the country could not produce such heavy transport helicopters itself, yet these helicopters were precisely the most practical and urgently needed equipment in rescue operations...
It had to be said that Wang Ye had done everything he possibly
