Chapter 707 The Oma Brothers

The emergence of two key figures in trending searches, both related to Malik Oma, naturally allowed the latter news to smoothly inherit the heat of the former. Soon, it became incredibly popular, with Malik Oma's various news flooding the entire internet. Reporters also swarmed in, eager to conduct all sorts of interviews with him.

From the streets to online and traditional media, news about Malik Oma was ubiquitous. His story was also thoroughly unearthed by these omniscient reporters, and a detailed article about his life experiences appeared across major media outlets.

It turned out that this Malik Oma was not an American by birth, but a Kenyan. His presence in the United States was thanks to his father and brother.

Malik Oma's father was named Barrack Oma. In his youth, he traveled extensively across Africa, later joining the British colonial army, and then moved to Europe, reportedly exploring almost the entire continent.

He eventually arrived in Nairobi, where he became a cook and herbalist for a local missionary. Under his family's arrangement, he also married and fathered Malik Oma.

Through a twist of fate, he later went to study at the University of Hawaii, where he met an 18-year-old girl named Ann. They fell in love and soon had his younger brother.

Later, Barrack Oma surprisingly received an opportunity to study at Harvard University. He very directly separated from Ann and even abandoned their two children.

After graduating from Harvard, Barrack Oma returned to Kenya and became a renowned economist in the country, even serving as an economic advisor to the President's office, making him a high-ranking official.

Born into such a family, Malik Oma received a decent education in his childhood and learned some economics from his father. Logically, he should have followed in his father's footsteps, studied abroad, returned, and continued in public service.

It was just that Malik Oma wasn't particularly good at studying and couldn't afford to study abroad with state funding. Just as his father was preparing to use personal connections to send him overseas.

His father, Barrack Oma, was dismissed from his position for publishing an article critical of the then-Kenyan president, and subsequently died mysteriously in a car accident.

Barrack Oma was not a man who liked to save. While alive, he could obtain funds through his social connections and status. But after his death, not only did he leave no inheritance, but a large number of creditors came to collect debts. Malik's family was driven to rock bottom, and they eventually had to return to the countryside to become farmers again.

Logically, Malik Oma's life would have ended there, with no significant future development. Spending his life as a farmer would have been the best option.

However, he was unwilling to accept this. He knew he had a brother in the United States who was reportedly living a very good life. He wanted to go and join his brother, become an American, and realize his American dream, but he could never make it happen.

It wasn't until two years ago that the America First Foundation, established by the America First Group, launched a project to help Black Americans residing in the U.S. bring their relatives still in Africa to join them for family reunions and enjoy time together.

Thus, due to his brother's connection, Malik Oma was selected by the foundation and came to the United States, becoming an employee of the America First Foundation, and later joined the newly established BLM company as an ordinary staff member.

The following describes how Malik Oma was grateful, how he worked diligently, how he was selfless, and how, despite repeated discrimination and beatings, he never forgot to repay the company and complete his work.

These efforts were noticed by the company and Madame Versailles. Coincidentally, at that time, BLM company was involved in a news story with the Mobile Communications Association. The local television station planned to shoot a documentary to record the story between BLM and the Mobile Communications Association, and the protagonist of this documentary was chosen to be Malik Oma.

On the first day of filming, Malik Oma was captured being beaten by security guards from Stark Communications Company. Madame Versailles was furious. To stand up for her employee, and for all her Black brothers, she decided to use the company's already limited funds and domineeringly acquired Stark Mobile Communications.

During this period, Madame Versailles discovered that Malik Oma was not only diligent and willing to endure hardship, but also had a positive attitude towards his work and possessed a solid foundation in economics, making him an outstanding Black entrepreneur.

Considering the significant lack of Black entrepreneurs in the United States, Madame Versailles decided to directly appoint Malik Oma as the president of Stark Mobile Communications Company. Thus, Malik Oma completed his magnificent life's reversal.

Oh, and the report also incidentally introduced Malik Oma's "cheap" younger brother, named Belik Oma. The names alone suggested they were brothers.

Belik Oma was also a very distinguished figure, a lawyer, and a civil rights lawyer. He often helped the poor and helpless by taking on pro bono cases, enjoying a reputation bordering on sainthood among the local Black community.

One day, after lamenting that the law could not save Americans, he resolutely decided to enter politics. He is now a respectable Senator of the United States, with the dream of making America better and its people happier.

The article also featured a photograph of the two brothers shaking hands. This scene moved many viewers, increasing their favorable impression of both Black men, who they felt might truly be future elites genuinely dedicated to serving society.

If white people harbored such thoughts, Black brothers were even more so. Following this report, Malik Oma essentially became a target and an object of aspiration for a large number of Black Americans.

Many Black Americans facing hardship or mental distress decided to emulate Malik Oma, aiming for his success in the future. They also resolved to support his brother. While becoming president might be impossible, at least he could speak out for their compatriots.

As for Versailles... oh, Madame Versailles and these two men were different. After various social activities over the past two years, Madame Versailles had begun to shed the label of Black idol and was moving towards the direction of being a spiritual mentor for all Black people.

She even showed signs of transcending her human form and beginning to cultivate a divine aura. Some even directly called her the next Martin Luther King Jr.

However, these were not the main focus for everyone at the moment. The attention of all viewers, besides Malik Oma, was actually more on Stark Mobile Communications.

To be fair, Americans had grown up their entire lives in a market economy. They were accustomed to the wealthy employing any means necessary to make money and exploit the poor.

Although these wealthy individuals often set up charitable foundations, neither the rich nor the poor seemed to benefit in the slightest from these foundations.

Whenever news about these charitable foundations appeared, it was either that they donated to an African country, sending food to starving children.

Or they went to support infrastructure development in certain countries, building railways, plantations, and so on.

Or they provided aid for reconstruction in post-war countries, such as sending dozens of breeding horses, each worth millions of dollars, to Afghanistan to develop the high-end horse breeding industry, with the rationale that Central Asia had always been a good place for horse production and Arabian horses were world-renowned.

These actions sounded like great deeds, meant to accumulate merit for future generations. But the problem was that not only did these benefits not directly reach them, but they also saw no real change brought about by these welfare foundations in the world.

According to statistics from relevant organizations, various charitable foundations in the United States donate over a hundred billion U.S. dollars in charitable funds abroad each year, enough to purchase food for one billion people annually. Yet, the number of hungry people worldwide has been increasing rather than decreasing.

As for infrastructure, it seemed that after the infrastructure was completed, it turned into industries for these organizations in the local areas, starting to extract every bit of surplus value from the poor local people. These charitable organizations, on the other hand, began to profit.

As for infrastructure in war-torn countries... well, the war had ended for over a year, and more than half of the damaged oil facilities were still not operational, causing international oil prices to soar to $50 per barrel.

However, when it came to something practical, something that benefited the American people themselves, the charity was very scarce, basically non-existent. So when they saw a company treat the homeless like this, actually giving up their dormitories for them to live in and providing basic sustenance, many Americans were ecstatic, hailing it as the conscience of America.

Coupled with the fact that this news directly followed the story of Malik being beaten, and then added the "power fantasy" narrative of Malik Oma, it was bound to be a hit.

Originally, Stark Mobile Communications was supposed to be the villain, to be beaten down. But somehow, it turned into a protagonist.

Much like American TV shows enjoyed plot twists, Americans also loved watching such reversals, especially when they happened in real life. Thus, Stark Communications' attention exploded.

Moreover, this time they also introduced such cost-effective contract packages, making many people who saw the优惠 contract packages feel a sense of desire.

They then went to nearby Stark Mobile Communications stores to investigate. To their surprise, they discovered that these contract packages were all real, and the communication company was indeed offering such favorable contract packages.

The outcome, as one might expect, was self-evident.
