Chapter 260: Mazu Statue

Distributed to everyone's hands, everyone opened it and found that it was a trinket.

Those who know the goods recognize that this is also one of the jewels.

"Jade?" Someone asked.

The man shook his head: "No, this is made of clams, and it costs about three or five thousand yuan a piece." ”

"So expensive? Aren't there dozens or hundreds of people I see on the Internet? ”

"What quality do you have to see! The kind that costs dozens of dollars is of very poor quality, and the one that Mr. Zhang gave us is the best quality. ”

When everyone heard that it was worth three or five thousand, they all put it away carefully.

They are just people who do a job, a few thousand yuan a month, and a higher one tens of thousands of yuan, so a gift of three or five thousand yuan is worth a lot to them.

With this gift, coupled with the warm reception of the village committee, they worked harder in the next shooting, always thinking of ways to promote local tourism.

Teacher Huang, Zhou Ziqi, Liu Yifan, and Director Wang and a few others were temporarily arranged at Zhang Yaohua's house.

It's a villa after all! It's also understandable that people who are more important in the hospitality point will also be forgiven.

In fact, the villas in the village are not only Zhang Yaohua's family.

Like Shuiwangjia, etc., have also been built to move in.

This time, I shot a dugong, because I was shooting underwater, so it took a little longer to prepare.

During this period, the program team was not idle, but went to Jinji Island to shoot the scenery, as well as the turtle egg-laying scene over there, and cooperated with the village committee to carry out publicity.

Zhang Yaohua found that he had only been away for so many days, and the industrial park had already been built in good shape.

That's really fast.

"At this rate, a considerable number of areas will be put into use next month." The village director said to Zhang Yaohua.

He was shocked to witness the industrial park rise from the ground.

The director also talked a lot with the person in charge of the construction party, and the construction party made it clear that part of it will be put into use next month and completely completed within two months.

The director was accompanied by a young man, who was one of the talents recruited by the village committee last time. With the help of these young people, the work efficiency of the village committee has increased much.

At this time, he raised his hand and did not intervene directly.

Zhang Yaohua looked at him and said with a smile: "Su Chuan, we can speak freely, we don't have to be so restrained." ”

Su Chuan was very happy, he didn't expect Zhang Yaohua to call his name, and everyone just met. This shows that Zhang Yaohua attaches great importance to their group of people.

He said, "I think our village should create a landmark near here, whether it's a building or something else!"

Otherwise, we don't seem to be able to make any impression. ”

As soon as these words came out, the village director didn't quite understand it, but Zhang Yaohua quickly woke up.

Yes! A tourist area, without something iconic, is indeed too popular to impress.

There are many places such as seaside fishing villages and island scenery.

Be sure to make something special.

For example, in Zhuhai, there are fisherwomen, sun and moon shells, ocean kingdoms and the like, which are impressive.

The director was confused: "Landmark? ”

Zhang Yaohua nodded: "Su is right, this matter must be discussed by the village committee." Taking advantage of the fact that the industrial park is now under construction, if you want to get it, you can build it by the way. ”

"Shall I get something?" The village chief asked.

He really doesn't understand.

Fortunately, there are now many young people in the village committee who are making suggestions and can barely keep up with the trend of the times.

Su Chuan gave an example to the director: "Director, for example, some tourist areas like to build statues, and the most common one is the Buddha statue. Those hundreds of meters tall Buddha statues are nothing more than a gimmick.

If we do this, we can build a statue of Mazu. ”

Finally, he also gave a suggestion based on local beliefs.

Everyone in the village said that Zhang Yaohua was the lucky one blessed by Mazu, so Su Chuan felt that this suggestion might be supported by Zhang Yaohua.

Nowadays, there are many people who believe in Mazu.

First, it can make their village have an iconic thing; Second, it can also attract people who believe in Mazu to visit and worship, which is also helpful for tourism.

It's just that building a large Mazu statue may cost a bit too much.

"Mazu statue?" The village chief's eyes lit up.

I believe that there is no opposition from the villagers to this project.

In fact, as long as it involves Mazu, who in the village will object? Even if they were asked to raise money, everyone didn't say a word, and even took pride in it.

Mazu's influence on the coast is unquestionable.

Su Chuan continued: "At present, the tallest Mazu statue is actually in Tianjin, 42.3 meters. It's not too difficult to break this record. Unlike those Buddha statues, which are hundreds of meters away at every turn, it is a bit difficult and expensive to surpass them. ”

Obviously, he checked the information.

Many people may not think that the largest Mazu statue is actually in the north. You know, almost all of the people who believe in Mazu are in the south!

This has to start with the Ming Dynasty.

During the Ming Dynasty, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal was called the main artery of commodity circulation, and every year millions of quintals of grain had to pass through the Sancha estuary in the upper reaches of the Haihe River, and then enter the North Canal to reach the capital.

This not only made Tianjin the largest trading center in the north, but also introduced southern culture to the north, especially the Mazu culture, which is unique among other northern cities.

The world's largest Mazu statue and one of the earliest surviving Mazu temples in China, Tianhou Temple, are in Tianjin.

Seeing that Zhang Yaohua didn't speak, thinking about something, Su Chuan and the village director subconsciously didn't continue to speak.

No way! If you want to build such a giant statue, you can't do without Zhang Yaohua's funding. Relying on the little strength of the village committee and the villagers is not enough at all.

After a while, Zhang Yaohua came back to his senses.

"Hmmm! It's a great idea, I see! Simply develop that mountain, and the statue of Mazu stands on the top of the mountain. Zhang Yaohua said.

In this way, the statue of Mazu appears even taller.

Since it is going to be built, then break the record and build a building that is more than fifty meters away.

When it is built, it can also call on people who believe in Mazu to come and check in.

The director and Su Chuan looked in the direction of Zhang Yaohua's finger, the mountain is called Moonlight Peak, because the moon is often above the top of that mountain, so it has such a name.

It's also the highest mountain they have here.

On the other side of the foot of the mountain is the Tin Hau Temple of Mazu.

I have to say that Zhang Yaohua's idea is very good. But in this way, there is more money to be spent.

After all, it's not as simple as a Mazu statue, and if you want to develop that mountain, you have to at least pave stone steps from the foot of the mountain, right?

"In that case, I guess it will burn a lot of money!" Su Chuan reminded.

Zhang Yaohua saw that he had done his homework, so he asked, "How much does a stone statue about 50 meters high cost?" Did you understand? ”

"I've checked it a little, but I don't know if it's accurate. Stone statues are generally a little cheaper, fifty meters high, about three to five million. If it's a bronze statue, it's more than 10 million. Cement and sandstone are the cheapest, one or two million can get it.

However, according to the religious law, outdoor buildings that are more than 10 meters tall must be approved by the State Administration for Religious Affairs. Su Chuan introduced.

Zhang Yaohua nodded: "It's okay, it's not a problem." ”

He is also a person with some connections now, and it is not difficult to get an approval.

He continued, "So be it! The village committee will do this, and I will fund it, including the development of the moonlight roof. ”

"Will there be a charge then? How much do you charge? Su Chuan hurriedly asked.

Zhang Yaohua shook his head: "The charge will change the taste, just order it." ”

The director immediately said, "Okay! Leave this matter to the village committee! ”

Everyone has paid for it, so it's impossible for others to contribute, right?

The director led Su Chuan back to the village committee and convened everyone to discuss the matter.

Because this suggestion was put forward by Su Chuan, the village committee asked him to be responsible.

Su Chuan's palms were sweaty, a little nervous, and a little excited. For the first time in his life, he was in charge of such a big project, including the development of moonlight tops, and Zhang Yaohua was ready to invest 20 million.

In fact, even if it is charged, it is a bit difficult to withdraw the capital, not to mention that Zhang Yaohua does not charge it, the money is purely put in and burned.

The director said to Su Legend: "Do it well, everyone believes that you can do it well." ”

At this moment, Su Chuan's pressure suddenly increased.

Of course, in order to prevent greed for ink and kickbacks, the village committee also has relevant regulations.

"Thank you for your trust, I did my best."

The group of people who came to the village committee before were envious.

During this time, they also applied for funding one after another. I originally thought that Su Chuan was not keen on doing this kind of thing, but I didn't expect him to come directly to a big one.

Amplify the move.

It's a big project with a budget of 20 million.

Although there is no benefit from greedy ink, the village committee has rewards. This project is well done, and the prize money is 50,000 yuan, who doesn't want it?

After that, Su sent a WeChat message to his friend.

He remembered that he had a classmate who seemed to be doing this kind of thing in his hometown.

This is equivalent to giving business to old classmates!

"Old Kim, are you there?"

WeChat has not responded for a long time.

Su Chuan had no choice but to add: "Are you there?" If you have something to do, rest assured! Not borrowing money. ”

This time, WeChat quickly responded.

"Ahh Lao Su, I'm sorry! I just took a nap and didn't notice the information. What's the matter? Drink, please? I haven't had a lot of time lately! ”

Boy!

It's blocking all the ways to bleed!

Now old classmates and the like are looking for it, and many people are afraid. In fact, it is those two things, the first is that I am afraid of borrowing money, many people are moonlight clans now, and money is really not able to borrow; The second is that I am afraid of drinking.

Yes! No mistake, I'm really afraid to ask for a drink.

One is that it may be far away, the second is that there is no time, and the third is that it is afraid of paying.

In some places, before the holiday, everyone is quite afraid, and they have to run a lot of banquets, and the money is dripping blood in their hearts. If you don't go, people will say that you are not social, ignorant, etc.

In short, many young people are afraid of banquets nowadays.

Not to mention tired, I don't have enough money.

Su Chuan couldn't help but roll his eyes and broadcast a voice chat to the other party.

It rang for a while before the other party answered.

"Lao Jin, maybe you really want to invite me to dinner."

The other side was surprised: "Please eat?" ”

"Aren't your statues in your house? Can a large statue do? Give a word. ”

"Ahh You want? ”

"Don't talk nonsense."

"Yes! Competent, what stone carving do you want? What size? "If you say that, he's not sleepy.

Su Chuan deliberately began to pinch him, who told that guy to think of him so badly? The next time he gets married, won't he even be able to invite this guy?

"What do you say? I can't hear it, the signal is not good! ”

Lao Jin is not stupid and knows what is going on.

"Lao Su, don't make trouble! Isn't it just a meal? Well said, well said. ”

"Aren't you out of time? I'll drink, you don't even have time to come! Su Chuan scolded him.

The other side begged for mercy: "Lao Su, my fault!" Give me a chance to make up for the friendship between us, it's easy to say anything, the market is not good now. ”

His family has no more orders, and I'm afraid he will have to change his career.

Su Chuan let him go.

Explained: "Am I not in the village of Shalang? ”

Old Kim: "Hmm! I know, you sent a message in the group that day, and I saw it. ”

"Here in Shalang Village, we are going to build a stone statue of Mazu that is more than 50 meters long."

This news made Lao Jin's eyes widen on the other side, and he didn't make a sound for a long time.

"Hey! Lao Jin, do you hear that? Can you do it? Give me a word, is your craft good? I am responsible, and if you have no faith, don't harm me. ”

Only then did Lao Jin come back to his senses.

"Can do, can do! Thank you Lao Su! Rest assured, until everyone is satisfied. I haven't done such a big stone statue at home, but I've done it a few times in thirty or forty meters, and I have experience.

This project must be given to me!

Old Su, so be it! I'll go over in person right now, and you can send me a location.

Also, can you tell us about your budget? After all, it was a big project, and the stone alone cost a lot of money. "He's now concerned about what the other party's budget is.

"The budget for the Mazu statue is between eight million and ten million."

Lao Jin was excited: "Okay, I'll go over now, wait for me." ”

He didn't expect his old classmate to send him such a big order. This time, I really have to thank the other person.

After hanging up, he transferred a sum of money to Su Chuan without saying a word.

Su Chuan was startled when he saw it, if he let the village committee know, it would be difficult for him to explain.

hurriedly sent a message back: "Lao Jin, don't do this, what you have to do is to make a good Mazu statue, be real, don't fool people, don't make it difficult for me." If you want to thank me, make it look better and make my face shine.

If this project is done well, the village will give me a bonus, so don't hurt me. ”

After Lao Jin saw it, he was very ashamed.

He was about to go to his dad to discuss it.

His father came back with someone.

He had also seen that person, the stone supplier, probably came to collect money. But his family, so there is still extra money?

"Boss Liu, be tolerant for a while! I don't really have a lot of money on hand lately. Kim Jae-in's father pleaded.

"Alas! Lao Jin, it's not that I don't talk about people! Everyone is having a hard time, and I owe a lot of money, and the workers at the quarry are waiting for their wages to be paid. ”

He can't help it!

Originally, with everyone's friendship of more than ten or twenty years, it is naturally no problem to be in arrears for a period of time. But he was also cornered, and yesterday the workers had already begun to make trouble.

He doesn't want to be a villain!
