Rushing to the sea: I can see the prompts

Chapter 261 Mazu Statue

It was distributed to everyone. When everyone opened it, they discovered that it was a small trinket.

Those who are knowledgeable will recognize that this is also one of the jewelry.

"Jade?" someone asked.

The man shook his head: "No, this is made of Tridacna. Each piece costs about three to five thousand yuan."

"So expensive? I don't think it's tens or hundreds on the Internet?"

"You have to look at the quality! The ones that cost tens of dollars are of poor quality. The ones that Teacher Zhang gave us are of the best quality."

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

They are just people working a job, and the salary is a few thousand yuan a month, or more than tens of thousands of yuan, so a gift of three to five thousand yuan is of great value to them.

With this gift and the warm reception from the village committee, they worked even harder for the next filming, always thinking of ways to promote local tourism.

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

After all, it is a villa! It is understandable to entertain more important people.

In fact, Zhang Yaohua's family is not the only one who owns villas in the village.

Shuiwangjia, etc., have also been completed and moved in.

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

During this period, the program team did not sit idle. Instead, they went to Jinji Island to shoot the scenery and the sea turtle laying scene there, and cooperated with the village committee to promote it.

Zhang Yaohua found that he had only been away for a few days, but the industrial park was already well-established.

This speed is really fast enough.

"At this rate, a considerable part of the area will be put into use next month." The village director told Zhang Yaohua.

He was shocked to witness the industrial park being built.

The director also had many conversations with the person in charge of the construction company, who made it clear that part of the project would be put into use next month and 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 improved a lot.

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

Zhang Yaohua looked at him and said with a smile: "Su Chuan, we can speak freely, there is no need to be so restrained."

Su Chuan was very happy. He didn't expect Zhang Yaohua to call him by his name. They only met once. This shows that Zhang Yaohua attaches great importance to this group of people.

He said: "I think our village should build a landmark around here, whether it's a building or anything else!

Otherwise, it seems like we won’t be able to leave much of an impression on others. "

As soon as these words came out, the village director didn't quite understand, but Zhang Yaohua quickly came to his senses.

yes! A tourist area without iconic things is indeed too popular and difficult to leave a deep impression on people.

There are many places like seaside fishing villages and island scenery.

There must be something special about it.

For example, in Zhuhai, there are fishermen, sun and moon shells, and ocean kingdom, which are impressive.

The director was confused: "Landmark?"

Zhang Yaohua nodded: "Su Chuan is right. This matter needs to be discussed by the village committee. While the industrial park is under construction now, if you want to do it, just build it."

"What can I get?" asked the village director.

He really doesn't understand.

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

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

If we are here, 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 a lucky man blessed by Mazu, so Su Chuan felt that this suggestion might be supported by Zhang Yaohua.

Today, there are many people who believe in Mazu.

Firstly, it can give their village something iconic; secondly, it can also attract people who believe in Mazu to visit and worship, which is also helpful for tourism.

However, building a large statue of Mazu may be a bit expensive.

"A statue of Mazu?" The village director's eyes lit up.

I believe the villagers have no objection to this project.

In fact, as long as Mazu is involved, who in the village will object? Even if they were asked to chip in money, everyone would say nothing and even be proud of it.

Mazu’s influence on the coast is undoubted.

Su Chuan continued: "At present, the tallest Mazu statue is actually in Tianjin, 42.3 meters. It is not difficult to refresh this record. Unlike those Buddha statues, which are often hundreds of meters tall, it is a bit difficult to surpass them. It’s also too expensive.”

Obviously, he checked the information.

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

This has to start from the Ming Dynasty.

During the maritime ban in the Ming Dynasty, the Beijing-Hangzhou Grand Canal became the main artery for commodity circulation. Every year, millions of tons of grain had to pass through the Sancha River mouth in the upper reaches of the Haihe River and then enter the North Canal before being transported to the capital.

This not only makes Tianjin the largest trade center in the north, but also introduces southern culture to the north, especially Mazu culture, which is unique in other northern cities.

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

Seeing that Zhang Yaohua was silent and thinking about something, Su Chuan and the village director subconsciously stopped talking.

no way! If you want to build such a giant statue, you cannot do without Zhang Yaohua's funding. Relying on the little strength of the village committee and villagers is completely insufficient.

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

"Yeah! It's a good idea, I think! Let's develop that mountain as well, and the Mazu statue will stand on the top of the mountain." Zhang Yaohua said.

In this way, the Mazu statue looks even taller.

Since you want to build, then break the record and build one over fifty meters.

After it is completed, people who believe in Mazu can also be called on to come and check in.

The director and Su Chuan looked in the direction of Zhang Yaohua's finger. The mountain was called Yueguangding. Because the moon often appeared above the top of the mountain, it had such a name.

It is also the highest mountain here.

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

I have to say that Zhang Yaohua’s idea is very good. But in this case, more money will be spent.

After all, it is no longer as simple as a Mazu statue. If you want to develop that mountain, you must at least pave stone steps up from the foot of the mountain, right?

"In that case, it will probably cost 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 fifty meters high cost? Do you know?"

"I checked a little bit, but I don't know if it's accurate. Stone statues are generally cheaper, about three to five million for a fifty-meter-tall one. If it's a bronze statue, it's over ten million. The cheapest ones are cement and sandstone, which cost about three to five million. You can do it for two million.

However, according to religious law, outdoor buildings over 10 meters high must be submitted to the State Administration for Religious Affairs for approval. We cannot just repair them if we want. "Su Chuan introduced.

Zhang Yaohua nodded: "It doesn't matter, it's not a problem."

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

He continued: "Let's do this! The village committee will handle this matter, and I will provide the funds, including the development of Moonlight Summit."

"Will the fee be charged then? How much?" Su Chuan asked quickly.

Zhang Yaohua shook his head and said, "The fees will change the taste. It's better to be more pure." The director immediately said, "Okay! Leave this matter to the village committee!"

Everyone has already contributed money, so it’s impossible to ask for help from others, right?

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

Because this suggestion was made by Su Chuan, the village committee put him in charge.

Su Chuan's palms were sweating, he was a little nervous and a little excited. It was the first time in his life that he was responsible for such a large project, including the development of Moonlight Dome, and Zhang Yaohua was prepared to invest 20 million.

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

The director said to Su Chuan: "Do it well and everyone will believe that you can do it well."

Now, Su Chuan's pressure suddenly increased.

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

"Thank you all for your trust, I will do my best."

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

During this time, they also applied for funds one after another. I originally thought that Su Chuan was not keen on doing this kind of thing, but I didn't expect that he would just do it in a big way.

Enlarge the move.

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

Although there is no benefit from being greedy, there are rewards from the village committee. If this project is completed well, the bonus will be 50,000 yuan. Who wouldn’t want it?

Afterwards, Su sent a message to his friend via WeChat.

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

This is equivalent to sending business to old classmates!

"Lao Jin, are you there?"

There was no response on WeChat for a long time.

Su Chuan could only add: "Are you there? I have something to do with you, don't worry! It's not a loan."

This time, WeChat responded quickly.

"Ah! Lao Su, I'm sorry! I just took a nap and didn't notice the message. What's the matter? Please drink? I don't have much time recently!"

Good guy!

This blocks all the avenues for bleeding!

Nowadays, many people are afraid of looking for old classmates and the like. In fact, it’s just two things. The first is the fear of borrowing money. Nowadays, many people are moonlighters and they really can’t borrow money. The second is the fear of being invited to drink.

Yes! No misunderstanding, I am really afraid of being invited to drink.

Firstly, it may be far away, secondly, there is no time, and thirdly, it is fear of paying money.

In some places, before the holidays, everyone is very afraid. They have to go to many banquets and spend money to make money. If you don't go, people will say you are unsociable, ignorant, etc.

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

Not only was I tired, but I also didn’t have much money.

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

It rang for a while before the other party answered.

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

The person on the other side was surprised: "Invite you to dinner?"

"Isn't your family a statue maker? Can you do large statues? Tell me something."

"Ah! You want it?"

"Do not talk nonsense."

"Yes! You can do it. What kind of stone sculpture do you want? What size?" If he said this, he would not be sleepy anymore.

Su Chuan deliberately started to tease him. Who told that guy to think so badly of him? If he gets married next time, will he not be able to invite this guy?

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

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

"Lao Su, don't make trouble! I'm just inviting you to dinner! It's easy to talk, easy to talk to."

"Aren't you free? I bought you a drink, but you didn't even have time to come!" Su Chuan scolded him.

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

There are no more orders from him, so he may have to change his career.

Only then did Su Chuan let him go.

Explained: "Didn't I serve in Sharon Village?"

Lao Jin: "Yeah! I know, you sent a message in the group that day, and I saw it."

"We are planning to build a Mazu stone statue over 50 meters in Shalang Village."

This news made Lao Jin on the opposite side widen his eyes and was silent for a long time.

"Hey! Lao Jin, did you hear that? Can you do it? Tell me, is your craft good? I have to be responsible. If you don't have confidence, don't hurt me."

Only then did Lao Jin come back to his senses.

"We can do it, we can do it! Thank you Lao Su! Don't worry, we will definitely do it until everyone is satisfied. My family has never made such a big stone statue, but I have made it several times, which is thirty or forty meters tall, so I have experience.

This project must be given to my family!

Lao Su, let’s do this! I'll go there in person now, and you can send me a location.

Also, can you reveal the budget? After all, it was a big project, and the stones alone would cost a lot of money. "He's now very concerned about what the other person's budget is.

"The budget for the Mazu statue is between 8 million and 10 million."

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

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

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

Su Chuan was shocked when he saw it. If the village committee knew this, it would be difficult for him to explain it.

He quickly sent a message back: "Lao Jin, don't do this. What you have to do is to make a good Mazu statue. It must be made of real materials. Don't fool people. Don't make it difficult for me. If you want to thank me, make it more beautiful." Let my face shine.

If this project is completed, the village will give me a bonus. Please don’t harm me. "

After seeing it, Lao Jin felt very ashamed.

He was about to go to his father to discuss this matter.

His father came back with people.

He had also seen that person, a stone supplier, and he was probably here to collect money. But his family still has extra money?

"Boss Liu, please be patient for a while! I really don't have any funds on hand recently." Jin Zairen's father pleaded.

"Oh! Lao Jin, it's not that I'm unkind! Everyone is having a hard time, and I owe a lot of money. Over there in the quarry, the workers are waiting for their wages."

There is nothing he can do!

Originally, with our friendship of more than ten or twenty years, there was no problem in defaulting for a period of time. But he was also forced into a corner. The workers had started to make trouble yesterday.

He doesn’t want to be a villain either!
