The female painter Barbara is the earliest resident of the town. Her husband is now Wang Bo's right-hand man, controlling the city for him. It is an exaggeration to say that making money every day is a bit exaggerated, but making money every month is absolutely no problem. ≥≧
In Wang Bo's impression, this family has good personalities. Anderson is relatively reserved and low-key. Barbara is the talkative person in the family, but because she is an artist, she is of high quality and a good person.
This was the first quarrel between residents in the town, and it was also related to garbage disposal, so he had to solve it properly.
Barbara's home is located in the center of the town. In the jargon of real estate, it is quiet in the bustle. The town has a small population and few shops, so the overall environment is relatively quiet, while the central area is more prosperous and relatively noisy.
The Ford Motel is located on the west side of Barbara's house. It is a three-story building with a small garden separating the two houses.
At this time, in front of the small garden, Barbara was arguing angrily with a bald middle-aged white man. This white man was Ford.
Her son Kelvin stood next to her and glared at Ford. There were people watching nearby. Another person told Wang Bo that if foreigners didn't like to watch the fun, he would slap him loudly.
Wang Bo pushed away the frowning onlookers and walked in. He showed the majesty of the mayor and said in a deep voice: "What's going on? For the sake of God, can you stop watching here?"
Because he had solved several cases and invested heavily in construction, he still had a high status in the hearts of the townspeople. After listening to his words, the crowd of onlookers dispersed, but everyone was still watching not far away.
Wang Bo picked up Barbara's daughter Sally, winked at her and teased her a few times, and then said to her son Kelvin: "Young man, where is your father?"
Kelvin is a seven-year-old boy. A little guy at this age desperately hopes to be recognized by adults. When Wang Bo called him 'young man', the boy was very happy. He puffed up his chest and said: "Mayor, dad works in the city. Do you need me to call him back?"
Wang Bo patted him on the shoulder and said: "No, you need to take your sister to him and tell him that the mayor treats you to a bottle of lemonade. This is a man's drink."
After hearing this, Kelvin was obviously moved, but he did not leave. Instead, he looked at Ford hesitantly and said, "I can't leave, otherwise he will bully my mother."
Wang Bo laughed loudly and said: "With the mayor here, justice and fairness will exist. I will not let anyone bully your mother. Of course, I will not allow you to bully anyone."
The boy also laughed. He took his sister's little hand and took her running to the city.
After sending away the two children, Wang Bo's expression became serious. He looked at Barbara dissatisfied and said: "Madam, are you arguing in front of your children? Is this your way of education? The way of education of an artist?!"
Because Wang Bo provided Anderson with a dignified and well-paid job, and because he once helped solve the Oakland casino loan sharking crisis, Barbara respected him even more.
Hearing Wang Bo's accusation, she said aggrievedly: "Boss, listen to my explanation, I don't want to do this, but I'm so angry today. Ford, this bastard..."
"Are you sure you are right to call your neighbor this? As far as I know, this guy Ford may not be a saint, but he is definitely not a bastard. He has helped several tourists who have encountered difficulties. He has New Zealanders in him. virtue."
The bald Ford was very happy after hearing what he said, and said loudly: "Mayor, that's what I should do. I am a member of Sunset Town. I love Sunset Town. If there is anything I can do to improve the image of Sunset Town, I am willing to do it." Do it.”
Wang Bo looked at him and sneered: "Ford, don't be proud. You love Sunset Town? Are you a member of Sunset Town? And then you litter?"
Ford opened his mouth to speak, but shook his head in vain.
One person was given a sweet date and a slap in the face. Wang Bo had done enough foreplay and said, "Barbara, tell me first, what's going on?"
Barbara said angrily: "This guy, I mean my neighbor, he runs a hotel, and there is a lot of garbage every day, but he is so lazy that he digs a hole behind the house and buries it..."
"What I bury is all degradable garbage. I won't pollute our town..." Ford argued with a blushing face.
Barbara pointed at the garden angrily and said: "I don't care what you buried, burying garbage around the house is bad behavior, you also buried it in our garden, and you even want to go to my house now." Bury in the back! You, you bad guy!"
She probably wanted to call her a 'bastard', but after being warned by Wang Bo, she could only temporarily change her name to a 'bad guy', which was quite interesting.
After listening to the conversation between the two, Wang Bo figured out what happened.
Ford's hotel produced garbage every day, and he buried the degradable garbage in the ground. Over time, the land around his house was covered, so he started burying it around Barbara's house.
Because the weather was getting hotter and hotter, the garbage in the ground would produce an unpleasant smell. Barbara couldn't bear it, so she quarreled with him.
Wang Bo signaled the two of them to stop talking. He first said to Ford: "Man, you know, New Zealand has a community waste management system, right? There are four types of disallowances. Can you tell me?"
Ford sighed and said nothing, and Wang Bo said on his own: "It is not allowed to throw away garbage in public places, it is not allowed to throw away garbage from the windows of moving cars, it is not allowed to ignore the garbage dropped in the trash can at home, and it is not allowed to ignore the garbage left outside the home. Dumping trash on someone else’s land with permission, right?”
Ford nodded and said feebly: "Yeah, that's right."
"Depending on the size and nature of the discarded items, fines will be imposed for littering. The amount of the initial fine ranges from 100 yuan. If the amount of garbage dumped at one time is huge, or it has a bad public impact, or if the person refuses to change despite repeated admonitions, the maximum fine can be Thirty thousand yuan, do you know?" Wang Bo asked again.
He is not talking nonsense. There are real fines for littering in New Zealand. For example, throwing a bag of garbage - the kind of shopping bag in the city - will result in a fine of 250 yuan. If you discard broken glass, sharp metal, medical waste, or other items that can harm others, you will be fined NZ$400.
Upon hearing the fine, Ford became anxious. He said helplessly: "Mayor, I don't want to either, but there are no garbage trucks or garbage disposal stations in the town. If I don't bury them, what can I do?"
Wang Bo was silent for a few seconds, then he looked at Barbara and said: "There is no doubt, madam, your neighbor did something wrong in this matter. According to the law, he needs to be fined."
Barbara just wanted to teach Ford a lesson. She didn't really want to cause him to be fined, so she said hesitantly: "Or, punish him next time?" (.) 8
