Although it allowed the residents of the small town to make some extra money, that was about it. They wrecked the forests outside the town and caused fights and disturbances both within and outside the town.
However, Peterof had no way to drive them away. Most of these diggers had permits, and they did enable the townsfolk to sell quite a bit of stuff and earn some money, making their lives a bit better.
Peterof wasn't adept at business, but since there was an opportunity now, he decided to endure it.
He wanted to collect taxes, but those bastards had certificates from the relevant departments and wouldn't pay him any mind.
Now someone was actually offering a donation to the town, how could Peterof not be surprised?
"How much?" Peterof asked subconsciously.
"A total of 200,000 dollars. Of that, 50,000 for the school, 50,000 for the elderly, and 100,000 for the town itself," Sergei said, "Our boss says he trusts that the Mayor will make good use of the money."
200,000 dollars!
