1400. Live in (1/5)

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

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

By the way, he can also visit the development of the castle.

Treehouses are more popular than the castle that is becoming modern and magnificent.

The news that the little loli and the others lived 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, and after the electricity was turned on, a TV and a game console were installed, so that the tree house became a paradise for their children.

Wang Bo had to carry out foundation reinforcement again, and limited the number of people climbing into the tree house, no more than twenty people are allowed to gather in one location.

He had just settled a house here, and another house business came to the 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 talk if you have time?"

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

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

One of the women wearing glasses smiled and said, "Mr. Mayor, I am Rosmarie, the manager of IKEA New Zealand branch. This is Ms. Nanasha, the creative director of our company. I am very happy to meet you."

When Wang Bo heard about this, he shook hands with her and said, "I'm very happy to know 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. It is now the world's largest furniture and household goods merchant. It mainly sells about 10,000 products, including seat/sofa series, office supplies, bedroom series, kitchen series, lighting series, textiles, cooking utensils series, house storage series, children's products series, etc.

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

Wang Bo didn't know what the person in charge was coming to him. If he wanted to invest in a factory here, he would be happy.

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

Unfortunately, people did not come for this reason. After sitting down, Rosemary first praised his coffee for its deliciousness, and then said: "We have two main things 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 OK, but I am not responsible for this. I will introduce the person in charge to you and you can talk to him in detail."

Rosmarie said: "There is another thing, that is, IKEA is preparing to carry out a joint activity around the world for refugees. All the companies are in the country, and we want to put New Zealand's activities in Sunset Town."

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

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

"I understand, is it a charity event?"

Rosmarie nodded and said, "Yes, our event has united the New Zealand Red Cross, and needs to restore a refugee house in Sunset Town, completely restore it, and then seek donations from visitors."

Wang Bo understood, no wonder he chose the place on his territory. Sunset Town has a large flow of people, and there will always be new abortions in many tourists. If you set up a visiting house, your influence will be greater than building a house in big cities such as Wellington or Auckland.

He thought about it and said, "I think it's OK. I'm happy to help those refugees. Our Savior Army may also provide some help."

Rosemary thanked him, then took out a photo to show him, explaining the specifications and styles of the refugee house to be built this time.

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

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

Rosmarie said: "It's true that many homes in refugee camps are often canvas, ropes, and simple tents that can be used for up to 6 months, and the sanitation is extremely poor and the disease prevails."

Wang Bo nodded and said, "Yes, I know this. I have read the news. Some people don't even have a tent, so they can only gather a few."

Rosmarie smiled bitterly and said, "Yes, think about it, the cold is coming and going, the wind and rain are swaying, the tent has no doors or windows, cannot withstand heat, and cannot resist cold. Children who grew up in the refugee camp have never had a real home. In this way, they have no privacy, let alone dignity."

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

Like the Salvation Army, the IKEA Foundation is a well-known charitable organization in the world. It was founded in the Netherlands by IKEA founder ingvarkamprad in 1982. It provides shelter houses for many backward areas and war-torn areas every year.

“The main purpose of our donations this time is to buy food, water and this kind of house for refugees,” Rosemary said. “I know, you might think that IKEA must be using this opportunity to make money.”

"In fact, this is not the case. The cost of this kind of house is about 4,500 US dollars per building. We at IKEA will be responsible for half of it, and the other half will need to donate to purchase it."

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

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

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

After hearing his inquiry, Rosmarie said: "Yes, this is a solar panel, so that as long as the sun is shining, the refugees can take a hot bath or have electric lights at night, and even when the electricity is sufficient, they can watch TV."

Wang Bo asked: "Then how long is the expected service life of such a house?"

"It has about 3 years. Its advantage is not that it has a long life, but that it has high heat resistance, light material, portable, easy to disassemble, easy to transport, easy to install, and more importantly, it is solid and safe." Rosemary replied.
