MTL - Happy Little Mayor-Chapter 1401 . United Charity Activities (2/5)

In the next few days, the tree house will continue to improve, circuits, furniture, and some finishing work.

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

After passing the castle in this way, he can also visit the castle's renovation progress.

Treehouses are more popular than castles that are becoming modern and stately.

The news that they were living in the tree house caused a tornado in the school, and then every day after school, a group of children came.

Eva prepared drinks, fruits, and snacks for the tree house. After the electricity was turned on, TV sets and game consoles were installed, so that the tree house became a paradise for their children.

Wang Bo had to carry out foundation reinforcement work again, and limited the number of people who could board the tree house. No more than twenty people were allowed to gather in one place.

He just got a house here and another house business comes up in the town.

In late April, the New Zealand head of a company came to Sunset Town.

When Wang Bo was entering the office, someone stopped him and said, "Hello, Mayor Wang, can you talk to me?"

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

Seeing this, he nodded kindly: "Good two, what is the matter?"

One of the women with glasses smiled, "Mr. Mayor, I'm Rosemary, manager of IKEA's New Zealand branch. This is our company's creative director, Ms. Nanasha. I'm glad to meet you."

Upon hearing about the company's people, Wang Bo shook hands with her: "I'm glad to meet you. Please follow me to my office. I think we need some coffee to talk slowly."

IKEA is a large company in New Zealand. It was founded in Sweden in 1943 and is now the world's largest furniture and household goods business. Its sales mainly include seats / sofa series, office supplies, bedroom series, kitchen series, lighting series, textiles, cookware series. , Housing storage series, children's products, etc. about 10,000 products.

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

Wang Bo doesn't know what this person in charge is doing to find himself. If he wants to invest in a factory here, he will be happy.

Furniture production is a green industry and can provide a large number of jobs, which is very popular in New Zealand.

It ’s a pity that people did n’t come for this reason. After sitting, Rosemary first praised his coffee for being delicious, and then said, "There are two things we want to talk about this time. First, we want to set up an advertising area in Sunset Town, Our brand wants to enter your mall. "

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

Rosemary said, "The other thing is that our IKEA is preparing a joint event for refugees living in the world. All companies should do it, and we want to put New Zealand activities in Sunset Town."

Wang Bo asked: "What is the specific activity?"

"We want to use practical actions to support and help refugees suffering from the war. The war has destroyed their families and displaced them, and can only helplessly face the bleak reality."

"I see. Is it a charity event?"

Rosemary nodded: "Yes, our event united the New Zealand Red Cross, and we needed to restore a refugee house in Sunset Town, completely restore it, and then try to secure donations from visitors."

Wang Bo understands that it is no wonder that he chose a place on his site. There is a large flow of people in the sunset town, and there will always be new people in many things. If you visit a house, the influence will be greater than in Wellington or Building in these big cities in Auckland.

He thought about it and said, "I think it's okay, I'm happy to help those refugees, and our Salvation Army may be able to help."

Rosemary thanked him, and then showed him the photo, explaining the specifications and style of the refugee house to be built this time.

The first photo is a very rudimentary broken house, almost made of hollow bricks, and the second photo is a board room that looks good.

He asked strangely, "What's going on in this house?"

Rosemary said: "Yes, many of the homes in refugee camps are often canvas, rope, simple tents that can be set up for a period of up to 6 months, and the sanitation is very poor and the disease is prevalent."

Wang Bo nodded: "Yes, I know this, I have read the news, and some people don't even have a tent, only a few can get together."

Rosemary smiled bitterly: "Yes, think about it, the weather is cold, the weather is swaying, the tents have no doors and windows, can't resist heat, can't resist the cold, and children growing up in refugee camps never have a real home. This way , They have no privacy, let alone dignity. "

"So we, the IKEA Foundation, and UNHCR jointly established the" bettehelter "project, a temporary shelter for refugees."

The IKEA Foundation, like the Salvation Army, is a well-known charity organization in the world. It was founded in 1982 by ingvarkamprad, the founder of IKEA, in the Netherlands. It provides shelter for many backward areas and war zones every year.

"The main purpose of our donation for this event is to buy food, water and such houses for refugees," said Rosemary. "I know, you might think, IKEA must want to use this opportunity to make money."

"Actually this is not the case. The cost of such a house is about 4,500 US dollars per seat. We at IKEA will be responsible for half of them, and the other half will need to donate to purchase."

Wang Bo said: "I understand that in fact you don't need to explain. No one will question the IKEA Foundation. You have indeed helped many poor families in the past thirty years."

There are some homes for homeless people in New Zealand, which are also built by IKEA.

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

After listening to his inquiry, Rosemary said, "Yes, this is a solar panel, so as long as the sun is shining, the refugees can take a hot bath at night or have electric lights. Even when the power is sufficient, they can watch TV."

Wang Bo asked, "How long is the life expectancy of such a house?"

"There are about three years. Its advantages are not long life, but high heat resistance, light weight, portable, easy to disassemble, easy to transport, easy to install, and more importantly, solid and safe." Rosemary replied.

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