Chapter 1371 1354. Maori Jade (55)

Wang Bo was waiting for news from the International Boxing Federation, but the news hadn't come yet, and another news had arrived.

He had placed four Spiritual Spring Hearts at the foot of the mountain before. The original purpose was to build a river, but later he found that doing so was too wasteful and changed it to an artificial water point.

While he was on vacation in Iceland, Bowen contacted Porter's engineering team to dig wells and install water machines.

Because the heart of this spiritual spring relies on the water coming out of the spring, and this location is at the foot of the mountain, surrounded by stones, so it is not easy to mine, and the spring cannot be dug and the machine can draw water.

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

This has the advantage of sustainable development. The machine can only operate when the water in the sump reaches a certain level. That is to say, once the spring runs out of water, it cannot continue to draw water and let the spring recover.

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

Wang Bo hoped 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 looks very beautiful.

The next step is to start construction. As a result, the excavation was just started in early January, and the workers dug out Maori jade!

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

Maori jade is a specialty jade in New Zealand, and it is also a famous tourist souvenir. They are dark green or light green jade seeds, mainly found in the west coast of the South Island.

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

In addition, Maori tribes or Maori who own a large amount of jade are considered to have higher prestige and power status, so 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 several generations .

Atulu's grandmother, Ao Tutu, is responsible for keeping the jade carvings of their tribe. In their eyes, these jade stones already have life and magic power.

However, compared with Burmese jade and Hetian jade, Maori jade is not of high value, and its international price is relatively low. It is only because of traditional culture that Maori people especially care about it.

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.

What's more, the right to excavate these jade stones is not in his hands.

Because Maori jade is of little value and Maori like it very much, in the 1990s, as one of the agreements between the New Zealand government and Maori, the New Zealand government returned the ownership of the entire area where Maori jade was produced to Maori. tribe of people.

By extension, only local Maori can enter and excavate areas with jade deposits and veins.

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

Taking Atulu with him, Wang Bo rushed to the water intake point. Some workers were resting, and Porter squatted beside the construction site to check.

The construction site covers an area of ​​about 1,000 square meters. It is building a water collection pool, and now it is necessary to excavate rocks at the foot of the mountain to lay the foundation.

After less than one meter of digging, these jade stones appeared. They were mixed among the stones, and their colors were light green, dark green and lavender. They looked very beautiful.

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

Lao Wang felt his ass hurt: "Then it is impossible to continue to build water points?"

Atulu shrugged and said, "Yes, but it's too wasteful. This is a jade mining area."

Potter said to Wang Bo: "Wang, your land is too rich, right? The gold mine has not been dug yet, and there is a jade mine here?"

Of course, this piece of jade mine is far less valuable than a gold mine, and even except for Maori, no commercial company is willing to mine it.

Maori jade is a treasure in the hearts of Maori, 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 various pendants.

In traditional Maori gatherings, everyone will tie a bunch of jade pendants with ropes around their necks, which symbolizes wealth, peace and auspiciousness, as well as power, wealth and status.

Wang Bo shook his head helplessly and said, "Well, 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 heart of mines. When the news reached him, he was stunned. This was the first time Sunset Town gave him a surprise.

Wang Bo is not interested in this kind of ore, Atulu has it, and all Maori have it.

He said to Potter: "You ask the guys to explore the surroundings and see if there is any place suitable for a sump without mineral deposits."

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

The Maori man was very excited and said: "Boss, I am so touched, 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 won't be very expensive." Atulu said happily.

Seeing him happy, Wang Bo couldn't help being happy himself.

And from the perspective of the Maori, the discovery of this jade deposit is beneficial, that is, it liberates their productivity. These guys are usually lazy and unwilling to work, and they know how to eat welfare without the ability to make money.

Old Wang hated this kind of thing, now it’s better, Maori people like to carve jade, interest and making money can be combined, so that Sunset Town can save part of the welfare money.

What's more, the Maori are busy with this matter, and they won't go drinking and making troubles all the time.

Thinking of this, Pharaoh was even happier.

The news that a jade mine was discovered at the foot of the mountain and that Wang Bo had handed over all of it to the Maori tribe spread quickly. The Maori in the town were overjoyed. That night, someone came to the foot of the mountain to beat it, and carried the stones back home.

At work the next day, Atulu came with his grandmother on his back.

Seeing the aging Ao Tutu, Wang Bo hurriedly greeted him: "Grandma Ao Tutu, why are you here?"

Compared with the first time we met during the earthquake, Ao Tutu didn't look old, the wrinkles on his face didn't increase much, and his hair was darker and brighter, which seemed to be rejuvenated.

Her voice is still loud: "Thanks to the great god for sending Chief Wang to lead this land, your figure is as stalwart as the hero Moi..."

Later she began to speak in Maori, but Lao Wang couldn't quite understand her, he only knew that she was praising herself.

Not only did he not understand, but he was also not used to this kind of scene, but he had to cooperate, and they obviously came to thank him.
