MTL - Happy Little Mayor-Chapter 1354 .Maori Jade (5/5)
Wang Bo was waiting for the news from the International Boxing Federation. As a result, the news has not yet arrived, and another news has arrived.
He had previously placed four Lingquan hearts at the foot of the mountain. The original purpose was to build a river, but later he found that this was too wasteful and changed to an artificial water collection point.
During his vacation in Iceland, Bowen contacted Potter's engineering team to dig a well to install a water pump.
Because the heart of this Lingquan relies on spring eyes to water out, and this location is at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by stones, so it is not easy to mine, you cannot dig the spring eyes and then the machine draws water.
Bowen discussed with Wang Bo after consideration, and that was to build a catchment pool, and then install a water extractor above the catchment pool.
This has a beneficial sustainable development. The machine can only run when the water in the catchment tank reaches a certain level. That is to say, once there is not much water in the spring eye, you can not continue to take water and let the spring eye recover.
After more than ten days of investigation and design, this water intake was finally released.
Wang Bo hopes to be more beautiful. Bowen completed the task. He made the water intake into a science fiction style, using a large amount of light metal and tempered glass, which looked beautiful.
The next step was to start construction. As a result, workers were dug out of Maori jade just after excavation in early January!
After the jade was found, someone immediately notified the boss Potter, and then Wang Bo knew the news and drove over to check the situation.
Maori jade is New Zealand's specialty jade, and it is also a famous tourist souvenir. They are dark green or light green jade seeds, which mainly exist on the west coast of the South Island.
Since ancient times, jade has played a very important role in Māori culture. How much jade has means wealth.
In addition, the Maori tribe or Maori people who have a large number of jade stones are also considered to have higher prestige and power status. Therefore, for thousands of years, Maori jade carvings have been passed down from generation to generation, and some exquisite works have even been passed down for generations. .
Atulu's grandmother, Otutu, was responsible for keeping their tribal jade carvings, which in their eyes already had life and magic.
However, compared to what Burmese jade and Hetian jade, Maori jade is not very valuable, and its price is relatively low internationally, just because of the traditional culture, the Maori people care about it.
For Wang Bo, discovering jade is not a good thing, because it means the Lingquan project may be put on hold.
What's more, the excavation rights of these jade stones are not in his hands.
Because the Maori jade is of little value, and the Maori people particularly like it, in the 1990s, as one of the agreements between the New Zealand government and the Maori, the New Zealand government returned the entire area of the Maori jade production to Maori. People tribe.
By extension, only local Māori talents can enter and dig in areas with jade deposits and veins.
Although the land in the sunset town is Wang Bo's private property, the mountain is not easy to get. The whole mountain is a whole, and the whole does not belong to Wang Bo.
With Atulu, Wang Bo rushed to the water collection point, some workers were resting, and Potter squatted beside the construction site to see what.
The construction site covers an area of thousands of square meters. This is the construction of a catchment pool. Now it is necessary to excavate the stones at the foot of the mountain to lay the foundation.
Less than a metre down, these jadestones appeared. They were mixed in the stones. They were pale green, dark green and lilac, and they looked very beautiful.
Atulu picked up a piece with his nails and looked at it for a while, then nodded and said, "Head, it's Maori jade. There should be a Maori jade mine here."
Pharaoh felt the egg hurt: "Isn't it impossible to continue to build a water point?"
Atulu shrugged, "Yes, but it's too wasteful. This is a jade mine."
Potter said to Wang Bo, "Wang, your land is too rich, isn't it? The gold mine has not yet been excavated, and there is a jade mine here?"
Of course, this jade mine is far less valuable than the gold mine, and no commercial company, other than the Maori, is willing to mine it.
Maori jade is a treasure in the Maori people's heart, and in their hands, this thing can also become a treasure.
The most common use of Maori jade is carving art, such as various pendants.
At traditional Māori gatherings, everyone tied a pile of jade pendants with a rope around their necks, which symbolized wealth, peace, and auspiciousness, and also symbolized power, wealth, and status.
Wang Bo shook his head helplessly: "Well, thank God for giving me, I did not expect that there will be so many mineral deposits here."
This time, he was really surprised. He didn't use any mineral heart. When the news came, he was aggressive, which was the first time that the town of sunset gave him a surprise.
Wang Bo is not interested in this type of ore. Atulu has it, all Maori people have it.
He told Potter: "You ask the guys to go around and explore the road to see if there is a place for a catchment pool and no mineral deposits."
"Atulu, tell your clan, the ore here belongs to you, you sculpt it hard and sell it to tourists to make money."
Maori Han was extremely excited and said, "Boss, I'm so touched. You are such a good person. I love you."
"Don't sell too high when you sell, try to make it affordable for most tourists."
"I know the boss, it certainly won't be very expensive." Atulu said happily.
Wang Bo looked at him happy, and couldn't help himself.
And from the Maori point of view, it is found that this jade deposit is beneficial, that is, it liberates their productivity. These guys are usually lazy and unwilling to work. They have no money-making ability to know to eat benefits.
Pharaoh hates this kind of thing. Now, Maori people like to carve jade. Interest and earning money can be combined so that the sunset town can save a part of the welfare.
What's more, the Maori people are busy living with this matter and will not go to drink and make trouble all the time.
Thinking so, Pharaoh is even happier.
The news that the jade mine was found at the foot of the mountain and all Wang Bo handed over to the Maori tribe quickly spread out. The Maori people in the town were so happy that someone came to the foot of the mountain that night to beat them, and their stones came home.
At work the next day, Atulu came with his grandmother on his back.
Seeing the old-fashioned Otutu, Wang Bo hurriedly greeted: "Grandma Otutu, why are you here?"
Compared with those who just met in the original earthquake, Otitu did not see aging, wrinkles on his face did not increase, and his hair was a little darker and brighter, which meant he was a little old and young.
Her voice was still loud: "Thank you God for sending Chieftain Wang to lead this land. Your figure is as great as the hero Moi ..."
Later, she began to speak in Māori. The Pharaoh didn't understand, but only knew she was praising herself.
He didn't just understand or adapt to this kind of scene, but he had to cooperate, and people apparently came to thank him.
(To be continued.)
