In the next few days, the treehouse will continue to be improved, with circuits, furniture, and some finishing touches. Pen & Fun & Pavilion www.biquge.info

Every day after work, Wang Bo has to come back to do these things.

Passing by the castle in this way, he was also able to see the progress of the castle's renovation.

Treehouses are more popular than castles, which are becoming modern and opulent.

The news that Lori and her sisters were living in a treehouse caused a tornado in the school, and then every day after school, a group of children came running.

Eva prepares drinks, fruits, and snacks for the treehouse, and when the electricity is turned on, a TV and a game console are installed, making the treehouse a playground for their children.

Wang Bo had to reinforce the foundation and limit the number of people on the treehouse to no more than 20 people and not to gather in one location.

He'd just got a house here, and another house in town.

At the end of early April, the New Zealand head of a company came to Sunset Town.

When Wang Bo happened to enter the office, someone stopped him and said, "Hello, Mayor Wang, can you have time to talk?" ”

Hearing the greeting, he looked back and saw two middle-aged white women smiling at him.

Seeing this, he nodded kindly and said, "Hello two, is there anything wrong?" ”

One of the bespectacled women smiled: "Mr. Mayor, I'm Rosemary, the manager of IKEA New Zealand, and this is our company's creative director, Ms. Nanasha, it's a pleasure to meet you." ”

As soon as he heard about the company, Wang Bo shook hands with her and said, "It's nice to meet you, please come with me to my office, I think we need to have some coffee and talk slowly." ”

IKEA is a large company in New Zealand, it was founded in Sweden in 1943, and today it is the world's largest furniture and household goods business, selling about 10,000 products, including seats/sofas, office supplies, bedrooms, kitchens, lighting, textiles, cookware, house storage, children's products, etc.

Wood is the main raw material for furniture products, and New Zealand can supply a large number of high-quality wood, so IKEA has set up an important sourcing area and production line here.

Wang Bo didn't know what the person in charge was looking for him, and if he wanted to build a factory here, he would be happy.

Furniture production is a green industry that provides a large number of jobs and is very popular in New Zealand.

Unfortunately, this is not the reason why people came, but after taking a seat, Rosemary first praised his coffee for being delicious, and then said: "There are two main things we want to talk about this time, one is that we want to set up an advertising area in Sunset Town, and our brand wants to enter your mall." ”

Wang Bo nodded and said: "This is okay, but I am not responsible for this aspect, I will introduce the person in charge to you, and you can talk to him specifically." ”

"Another thing is that we at IKEA are going to do a joint campaign around the world for refugees, all the countries where we are located, and we want to put the New Zealand event in Sunset Town," Rosemary said. ”

Wang Bo asked, "What exactly is the activity?" ”

"We want to take concrete actions to support and help refugees who have been tormented by the war, which has left them with tears and displacements, and they have no choice but to face the bleak reality."

"I see, a charity event, isn't it?"

Rosemary nodded, "Yes, our event unites with the New Zealand Red Cross, and we need to restore a refugee house in Sunset Town, restore it completely, and then enlist donations from visitors." ”

Wang Bo understood, no wonder the place was chosen on his site, Sunset Town has a large flow of people, and many tourists, there will always be a new flow of people, so if you build a house to visit, the impact will be more than building a house in a big city like Wellington or Auckland.

He thought about it for a moment and said, "I think it's okay, I'm happy to help the refugees, and our Salvation Army might be able to help some as well." ”

Rosemary thanked him, then showed him a photograph of the specifications and style of the refugee house to be built.

The first photo shows a very simple dilapidated house, almost made of hollow bricks, and then the second photo shows a well-looking board house.

He asked strangely, "What's going on with this prefabricated house?" ”

"Yes, many of the camps are often made up of canvas, ropes, makeshift tents, used for up to six months, and are extremely hygienic and disease-ridden," Rosemary said. ”

Wang Bo nodded and said: "Yes, I know this, I have seen the news, and even some people don't even have a set of tents, so they can only gather together." ”

Rosemary smiled bitterly: "Yes, think about it, the cold comes and goes, the wind and rain are shaking, the tent has no doors and windows, it cannot withstand the heat, it cannot withstand the cold, and the children who grow up in the refugee camp never have a real home." In this way, they have no privacy, let alone dignity. ”

"That's why we, the IKEA Foundation, together with UNHCR, have set up BetterShelter, a temporary shelter for refugees. ”

The IKEA Foundation, like The Salvation Army, is one of the world's most famous charitable organizations, founded in 1982 by IKEA founder Ingvar Kamprad in the Netherlands.

"The main purpose of our donation this time is to purchase food, water and such houses for refugees." "I know, you might think, that IKEA must be trying to make money with this opportunity." ”

"Actually, it's not, the cost of each of these houses is about $4,500, and we at IKEA will be responsible for half of it, and the other half will need to be purchased by donations."

"I understand, in fact, you don't need to explain, no one will question the IKEA Foundation, you have really helped a lot of poor families in the past 30 years," Wang said. ”

There are some houses for homeless people in New Zealand, which IKEA is also responsible for.

Wang Bo is more interested in this kind of house, because judging from the photos, the house is very light, with reflective materials on the roof, and it looks like solar panels.

Listening to his inquiry, Rosemary said: "Yes, these are solar panels, so that as long as the sun is shining, the refugees can take hot showers at night, have electric lights, and even watch TV when there is enough electricity." ”

Wang Bo asked, "What is the expected service life of this kind of house?" ”

"For about 3 years, its advantages are not long life, but high heat resistance, light material, portable, easy to disassemble, easy to transport, easy to install, and more importantly, firm and safe." Rosemary replied.

Wang Bo nodded thoughtfully and said, "Very good, I want to know more about this kind of house." ”
