1354.Maori Jade (5/5)

Wang Bo was waiting for news from the International Boxing Federation, but the news had not yet arrived, and another news had arrived. Pen × fun × Pavilion www. biquge。 info

He had placed four spiritual spring hearts at the foot of the mountain, originally intended to create a river, but later found that this was too wasteful, and changed it to an artificial water intake point.

While he was on vacation to Iceland, Bowen contacted Porter's engineering team to dig a well and install a water intaker.

Because the heart of this spiritual spring relies on the spring to come and go with water, and this location is at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by stones, so it is not easy to mine, and you can't dig the spring and then the machine draws the water.

After thinking about it, Bowen discussed with Wang Bo, that is, to build a water collection basin and then install a water dispenser above the collection basin.

This has the advantage of sustainability, as the machine can only run when the water in the catchment tank reaches a certain level, which means that once the spring is out of water, it cannot continue to take water and allow the spring to recover.

After more than ten days of investigation and design, this water intake point was finally released.

Wang Bo wanted to make it more beautiful, and Bowen completed the task, he made the water point into a sci-fi style, using a lot of light metal and tempered glass, which looked beautiful.

The next step was to start construction, and the excavation just started in early January, and the workers dug up the Maori jade!

After discovering the jade, someone immediately notified the boss Porter, and then Wang Bo knew the news and drove over to check the situation.

Māori jade is a New Zealand specialty jade and a well-known tourist souvenir, it is a dark green or light green jade seed material, mainly found on the west coast of the South Island.

Since ancient times, jade has played a very important role in Maori culture, and the amount of jade you own means the amount of wealth.

In addition, the Maori tribes or Maori who possessed large quantities of jade were considered to have a higher prestige and power position, so for thousands of years, Maori jade carvings have been passed down from generation to generation, and some of the most exquisite pieces have been passed down for generations.

Aturu's grandmother, Outtutu, was in charge of the jade carvings of their tribe, which in their eyes had life and magical powers.

However, compared with Burmese jade and Hetian jade, the value of Maori jade is not high, and the price is relatively low in the world, just because of traditional culture, Maori people care about it very much.

For Wang Bo, the discovery of jade is not a good thing, because it means that the Lingquan project may have to be put on hold.

In addition, the right to excavate these jade stones is not in his hands.

Because of the small value of Maori jade and the fact that Maori were particularly fond of it, in the nineties of the last century, as part of the agreement between the New Zealand government and the Maori, the New Zealand government returned ownership of the entire area where Maori jade was produced to Maori tribes.

By extension, areas with jade deposits and veins are only accessible and excavated by local Maori.

Although the land of Sunset Town is Wang Bo's private property, the mountain range is not easy to handle, the whole mountain is a whole, and the whole does not belong to Wang Bo.

With Aturu with him, Wang Bo rushed to the water point, where some workers were resting, while Porter squatted next to the construction site to check on something.

The site covers an area of about 1,000 square meters, and this is the construction of a water collection tank, and now the stones at the foot of the mountain have to be excavated to lay the foundation.

Digging down less than a meter, these jade stones appeared, they were mixed in the stones, and the color was pale green, dark green and lilac, and they looked beautiful.

Aturu picked up a piece and picked it with his fingernails, looked at it carefully for a while, and then nodded and said, "Boss, it's Maori jade, there should be a Maori jade mining area here." ”

Lao Wang felt that the egg hurt: "Isn't it impossible to continue to build a water point?" ”

Aturu shrugged and said, "Yes, but it's too wasteful, this is a jade mining area." ”

Potter said to Wang Bo, "King, your land is too rich, isn't it?" The gold mine has not been dug yet, and there is a jade mine here? ”

Of course, this jade mine is far less valuable than the gold mine, and no commercial company is willing to dig it except for the Maori.

Māori jade is a treasure in the hearts of Māori people, and in their hands, this thing can also become a treasure.

The most common use of Maori jade is to carve it into works of art, such as pendants.

In traditional Maori gatherings, a bunch of jade pendants are tied around their necks with ropes, which symbolize wealth, peace and good fortune, as well as power, wealth and status.

Wang Bo shook his head helplessly and said, "Okay, thank God for the gift, I didn't expect there to be so many mineral deposits here." ”

This time he was really surprised, he didn't use any Mineral Heart, and when the news came, he looked confused, this was the first time Sunset Town surprised him.

Wang Bo was not interested in this ore, Aturu did, all Maori did.

He said to Potter, "You tell the guys to go around and explore the road to see if there's a good place for a catchment tank and no mineral deposits." ”

"Aturu, tell your people that the ore here belongs to you, you can carve it for me, and then sell it to tourists to make money."

The Maori man was very excited and said, "Boss, I am so moved, you are such a good person, I love you to death." ”

"Don't sell it at a high price, and try to make it affordable for most tourists."

"I know the boss, it's definitely not going to be expensive." Aturu said happily.

Wang Bo looked at him happily, and he couldn't help but be happy.

And from the Maori point of view, the discovery of this jade deposit has the advantage, that is, it liberates their productivity, these guys are usually lazy and unwilling to work, and they know how to eat welfare if they have little earning power.

Lao Wang hated this kind of thing, and now it's okay, Maori people like to carve jade, and interest and money can be combined, so that Sunset Town can save some of the welfare money.

Also, the Maori are busy with this and will no longer drink and make trouble.

Thinking like this, Lao Wang was even happier.

The news of the discovery of the jade mine at the foot of the mountain and the handing over of Wang Bo to the Maori tribe soon spread, and the Maori people in the town were so happy that that night that someone came to the foot of the mountain and beat it, and the stone was carried home.

When he went to work the next day, Aturu came with his grandmother on his back.

Seeing the old Ottotu, Wang Bo hurriedly greeted: "Grandma Ottotu, why are you here?" ”

Compared with when they first met during the earthquake, Ottotu did not age, the wrinkles on his face did not increase much, and his hair was darker and brighter, which was a bit of rejuvenation.

Her voice was still loud: "Thank you to the great god for sending the king chief to lead this land, your figure is as majestic as the hero Moi......"

Later, she began to speak in Maori, and Lao Wang didn't understand much, only that she was praising herself.

Not only did he not understand, but he was not very comfortable with this kind of scene, but he had to cooperate, and people were obviously coming to thank him.
