Chapter 1094 1079. Mysteries (55)
Comrade McGee is getting more and more concerned about the election of the mayor of the town. There is still a month before the general election of the town. To use a word to comment on the Chinese men's football team, it means that there is not much time left for him.
There was no investment in the central square before, and his attitude towards this matter was to focus on participation, but with the investment of millions of dollars, he became more concerned about the election work.
This kind of neighborhood dispute seems to be a small matter, but it can be seen that it is small and small. The more trivial it is, the more topics it can create, and it is easier to win public opinion, which is of great help to the election.
Therefore, it is impossible for McGee not to care.
Sure enough, after hearing what he said, Bo Wen grinned and said, "Why didn't Mr. Second Mayor get involved? He went, but he couldn't solve the problem, and then came back in despair."
Wang Bo stroked his chin and said, "Then it's not easy to solve this matter."
He planned to go to Li Bo and Zheng Hongmei first, and it happened that the couple were both in the hospital, and it happened that he hadn't had a massage for a long time.
So he pretended to be a public servant, and asked Li Bo to insert a clock, and he lay down on the massage table, knowing about it while enjoying himself.
Perhaps because of his eyes, although Li Bo has the same name as Wang Bo, his personality is very different. He has a low self-esteem and is relatively silent.
While enjoying the massage, Old Wang spoke first: "Doctor Li, how is your life recently?"
Li Bo said in a low voice, "Very well, Sunset Town is like a garden. Although I can't see it, I can feel the quality of the air if I eat and drink well, and my health is good."
"How do you feel about the air quality?" Wang Bo asked with a smile.
Li Bodao: "I have very serious pharyngitis. I used to be in Shanghai, and I often couldn't sleep at night. Now I come to Sunset Town, and the pharyngitis heals on its own."
"That's really congratulations, haha, I didn't expect us to have this ability here. It's been quite comfortable recently, isn't it a problem?"
He emphasized on asking about life twice, Li Bo heard the meaning behind the words, he hummed and pressed a few times, and said, "There is really something wrong, Mayor Wang, give me some pointers."
"Isn't our family divided into a house? In fact, the quality of the house is not good. Hongmei said that the walls are cracked. Since we came here, I have made some money with this craft, so I planned to do it a few days ago. Build a new house."
Wang Bo nodded: "Yes, I have seen your application form, it is no problem."
"There are fences outside the houses here, don't they? When our family built a house this time, they happened to be able to send a set of fences, so we thought that the previous fences were all broken, so we might as well take the opportunity to replace them together."
"Then when you did this, did you send the "Notice of Fence Construction" to the neighbor Mr. Tester's family?" Wang Bo asked.
Some people may think this is ridiculous, but New Zealand's "Fence (Fence) Regulations" does have such a requirement that a party must fill in a "Construction Notice" before building a fence.
It should be noted that this "Notice" must be delivered to the neighbor at least 21 days before the official start of construction. If the other party is only a tenant, then the notice must be delivered to the landlord.
Sending this "Notice" not only serves as a notification, but also serves as an insurance.
Because it is mentioned in the "Notice" that if there is still no reply after 21 days after receiving the notice, it is equivalent to "agreeing to build" by default, and agreeing to share the construction cost of the fence with the builder by default.
Li Bo was taken aback: "Do you still need to write a notice?"
Wang Bo sighed, that is, he didn't send it out, no wonder he didn't want it.
Li Bo snorted and said, "Hey, we don't know. Our fence is too dilapidated. It's like pushing it all over again. I thought about it before. People might not want it, but after the fence is repaired, it won't encroach on the neighbors." territory, and without them paying a penny, we thought they would agree."
Speaking of this, he added: "It's not our imagination. When we first arrived, we talked with our neighbors. They often complained about the poor quality of the fence, and we negotiated to repair it together."
"But at that time we didn't have any money, so the matter was delayed. Now that we have money, we don't plan to ask them to pay. I didn't expect them to be unhappy again."
Generally speaking, a fence or a fence is something that both neighbors can benefit from. The law supports the builder to ask the neighbor for the cost of building or rebuilding the fence. In theory, the cost should be shared equally among each other.
However, there is an old saying in China that distant relatives are not as good as close neighbors. This saying also applies in New Zealand, so this kind of matter is often discussed, and everyone can reach an agreement.
However, as Li Bo said, they are the ones who pay for the fence, so the neighbors should not disagree, and most of the time they will agree. So where does the conflict come from?
Just as Wang Bo was about to ask this doubt, Li Bo first asked: "Mayor, I asked some clients, and they said that this matter will go to court. Is it really so serious? If it is so serious, let it go."
Also in accordance with the "Regulations", if a party wants to build a fence, even if he pays the full bill, the neighbors will not agree to start the construction, or the fence being repaired is made of ordinary materials and ordinary craftsmanship, but the neighbor refuses to pay his due share.
Then this requires judicial intervention. There is a small claims arbitration court in New Zealand, which can apply for arbitration. As long as the value of the fence is less than 15,000 New Zealand dollars, the small claims arbitration court can quickly solve this problem.
It's true that it's going to court, but what does Li Bo mean by "or forget it"?
Several questions arose in Wang Bo's mind, so he asked them out.
Li Bo said: "Oh, the neighbors didn't want it at first, we got into a fight, and they called us 'red, yellow'. Look at the mayor, it's a curse word and a racial insult, right?"
"Hongmei and I are very angry, so I want to ask you to argue with Mr. Tister's family, but you are not here. Some people say that it is best to go to court to sue them. But you know the situation between me and Hongmei, go to court That would be too much work.”
Wang Bo frowned. If it was as Li Bo said, then the Tiste family was going too far. It was obviously looking for trouble, but: "I can think of scolding you Huang Lao, but the word Chi Lao, how can their family of Australian immigrants go too far?" Can you understand? Are you sure you heard it right?"
Li Bo nodded and said, "It's definitely true. They yelled so loudly when they came to the door. First they called us red men, and Hongmei quarreled with them because she couldn't get angry."
"However, how do they know the word Chilao?" Wang Bo was even more puzzled. He didn't know the exact meaning of this word. He only knew that it was an insulting word in the Wu dialect area.
