Qin Shiou asked about the price, the price of this kind of rocket fire extinguishing special vehicle is about 250,000 Canadian dollars, mainly because the car is expensive, the price of the rocket launcher is not high, and the price of the rocket is only half of the price, less than 150,000 can be won.

Even civilian fire extinguishers cannot be sold to private individuals according to the policy, so Qin Shiou called Hamlet and asked him to help order five sets in the country in the name of Farewell Town.

Five sets is the limit, Canada and China have worked together to enact an anti-dumping law, this kind of heavy mechanical equipment, up to five sets can be sold at one time.

Hamlet really didn't want to do this kind of thing, it was too risky, he came to Qin Shiou with a bitter face, hoping that he would stop playing with fire and just protect a fishing ground, how could it be like a war?

Qin Shiou calmly showed him the invasion of the fishing ground, and said: "Look, everyone knows that the fishing ground on Farewell Island is in the hands of a Chinese, everyone thinks that the Chinese are soft bones and easy to bully, everyone wants to come to my fishing ground to get a piece of the pie, you say, what should I do?" ”

Hamley cursed 'Fake' hatefully, which could only mean that the white fishermen had died themselves.

Qin Shiou said again: "If you can, I also hope that everyone can coexist peacefully, but this is obviously not possible." But I can promise that Hamray, my fellow, I won't use these things as long as the fishermen who steal the fish don't go too far. ”

From beginning to end, Qin Shiou only called all kinds of fire extinguisher equipment 'things', not 'weapons'.

Hamlet has nothing to say, the fate of Farewell Island and Qin Shiou's fishing grounds are one and the same, if the fishing grounds collapse again, then the town's tourism industry will not want to be maintained anymore. In a sense, he and Qin Shiou were standing in a trench.

The matter is settled. Hamlet didn't leave, he hesitated for a moment and said, "Qin." I don't know if you are concerned about our Canadian politics, but the general election for mayor of St. John's is about to begin, have you paid attention to this matter? ”

In Canada, as in the United States, mayors are appointed by voters in their cities, regardless of whether they are presidents, governors, governors, or governors.

Qin Shiou knows that this year is an election year for Canadian cities, but he really feels at a loss about the government system of this country, and there are not many government systems that can be more cumbersome than those in Canada.

Canada's government system can be summarized into 'monarchy', 'federal', and 'parliamentary', which is simply absorbed from the political systems of European and American countries. But in the end, it became a four-like.

Qin Shiou still remembers when he was in junior high school history, the history teacher's introduction to the political system of European and American countries: Britain is a constitutional monarchy, the United States is a federal country, Germany implements a democratic parliamentary system, and Canada is a federal country with a constitutional monarchy, which implements parliamentary democracy and follows the system of separation of powers......

If you want to go into detail, it is very troublesome, and you have to start with the origin of several systems.

If it were to be briefly introduced, it would be simple. That is, the nominal ruler of Canada is the Queen of England, who rules the country but does not govern; The country is controlled by the Prime Minister and the Cabinet of Parliament, including the Senate and the House of Representatives; And it is the mayors of each city who really manage the place.

Let's put it simply. Canada's central government system is similar to that of the United Kingdom, but decentralized to the municipal level, and the system of government is the same as that of the United States.

So. Like every city in the United States, mayors are elected by local voters. They do not have to consider the central and provincial governments in formulating local economic development policies, but only need to be accountable to local voters within the law.

From this point of view. The current mayor of St. John's, Dennis O'Keifer, is not very reasonable, this guy is a bit racist, as can be seen from his attitude towards Qin Shiou.

In the past year, Qin Shiou has successively acquired so many fishing farms and contributed so much tax revenue to St. John's, and Okaifo has only entertained Qin Shiou at the press conference for the award of the Special Contribution Award for Economic Recovery, and has not even said a greeting at other times.

This is unbelievable in the United States, even if it is a powerful top city like Los Angeles and Chicago, the mayor will pay attention to a rich man of Qin Shiou's level, because his money is not stored in the zài bank, but constantly invests abroad, which is a big funder.

Qin Shiou is also a little arrogant, since the mayor is not interested in himself, then he doesn't have to stick a hot face on his cold buttocks, we just have to get the well water without the river water.

Now listening to Hamley's question, Qin Shiou said: "I didn't pay much attention, what's wrong?" ”

Hamlet looked at him and said slowly: "I guess you don't know much about our country's party system, so I won't say more, anyway, my party intends to support me as a candidate for mayor of St. John's." ”

This is heavy news, Qin Shiou blinked and looked at Hamlet, the expression on his face was called a colorful, what kind of thing? This mayor, is he running for mayor? You're not fooling yourself, are you?

Hamlet was not seen naturally by Qin Shiou, he shrugged his shoulders and smiled bitterly: "It seems that you really don't pay attention to the politics of St. Johns, this is not good, Qin, you are the owner of a big fisherman, you have to pay attention to these." ”

Qin Shiou said: "I understand, I will pay attention to it in the future." But Hamley, I wonder what are your chances of success? ”

Speaking of the future, Hamlet's expression became solemn and said: "My candidate is still Okefo, and he is fighting for re-election." In terms of support ratings, I don't have an advantage for the time being because voters don't know much about me. ”

"But I have the advantage that during my administration, we said goodbye to the town's economy and took off. The St. John's government under Ockever has been in a downturn for years, and some voters, especially new immigrants, are particularly unhappy with him. ”

"According to the statistics so far, I can probably account for 28% of the voters."

Hamlet finished in one breath, and then a little frustrated, O'Kefo had the absolute advantage.

Qin Shiou asked, "Then do you still have a chance to be elected?" ”

"Yes, if the voters know me well enough, I believe that with my past political achievements, I will be able to win a lot of voters' support, but what they lack now is to understand me," Hamlet said. ”

Smart people don't need to talk too much, Qin Shiou is not a smart person, but he is not stupid. At this point in Hamley, he understands what it means to deal with it, Hamre lacks the understanding of the electorate, and how can the voters understand him? Publicize! What does propaganda entail? Money!

"How much money do you lack?" Qin Shiou asked.

Hamre dodges the light: "We only started the campaign in June, and so far we have spent about 15 million yuan. ”

The publicity cost of 15 million yuan is not a lot, but it is not a lot, because this is Canada, not the United States, this is St. John's, not Toronto, Ottawa, not Los Angeles, New York. (To be continued......)
