Qin Shiou asked about the price. The price of this kind of rocket fire-extinguishing special vehicle is around 250,000 Canadian dollars. The main reason is that the car is expensive. The price of rocket launchers is not high. Even the rocket is only half the price, and it can be won in less than 150,000 yuan.

Even civil fire extinguishers cannot be sold to private individuals according to policy regulations. Qin Shiou called Hamre and asked him to help order five sets from China in the name of saying goodbye to the town.

Five sets are the limit. Canada and China have worked together to formulate an anti-dumping law. This heavy mechanical equipment can be sold at most five sets at one time.

Hamre really doesn't want to do such a thing, it's 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 he do it like a war?

Qin Shiou calmly showed him the invasion of the fishing ground and said, "Look, everyone knows that the fishing ground on the farewell island is in the hands of a Chinese. Everyone thinks that Chinese are cordyceps and are easy to bully. Everyone wants to come to my fishing ground to get a share. What should I do?"

Hamley cursed "Fake" hatefully, which can only be said that the white fishermen were committing suicide.

Qin Shiou said again: "If possible, I hope everyone can live in peace, but this obviously cannot. But I can promise, Hamre, my guy, as long as the fish stealers do not do too much, I will not use these things."

From beginning to end, Qin Shiou only called various fire extinguishers and equipment "East and West" instead of "Weapons".

Hamre has nothing to say. Saying goodbye to the island is connected with Qin Shiou's fishing ground. If the fishing ground collapses again, the tourism industry in the town will not be maintained. In a sense, he and Qin Shiou are standing in the same trench.

The matter was negotiated, but Hamre did not leave. He hesitated and said, "Qin, I wonder if you are concerned about our Canadian politics. The election for Mayor St. Johns is about to begin. Are you paying attention to this?"

Like the United States, the appointment of a mayor has nothing to do with the president, governor, governor, governor, etc. It is elected by voters in the city.

Qin Shiou knew that this year was the election year for all Canadian cities, but he was really confused about the country's government system. Counting all over the world, the government system is not much more complicated than Canada.

Canada's government system can be attributed to "monarchy", "federal system", and "parliamentary system". It is simply formed by absorbing the political systems of European and American countries, but in the end it became a four-dimensional one.

Qin Shiou still remembers the history of junior high school. Historical teacher introduced the political system of European and American countries: Britain is a constitutional monarchy, the United States is a federal state, Germany implements a democratic parliamentary system, and Canada is a constitutional monarchy federal state, implements a parliamentary democracy and follows the separation of powers system...

If you want to introduce it in detail, it is very troublesome, and you have to start with the origins of several systems.

If you briefly introduce it, it is simple, that is, the nominal ruler of Canada is the Queen of England. She ruled this country but did not manage it; the Canadian Prime Minister and the Cabinet Parliament, including the Senate and the House of Representatives; and the real management of the local area is the mayors of each city.

Let’s put it simply. The central political system in Canada is similar to that of the United Kingdom and is scattered at the municipal level, and the political system is the same as that of the United States.

Therefore, like all cities 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. They only need to be responsible for local voters within the scope of the law.

From this point of view, the current Mayor of St. Johns Dennis Okever did not do it very reasonably. This guy is a bit racist, which can be seen from his attitude towards Qin Shiou.

In the past year, Qin Shiou has successively acquired so many fishing grounds and contributed so much tax to St. Johns. Okever has only entertained Qin Shiou at the press conference for the Special Contribution Award for Economic Recovery, but has never given him a greeting at other times.

This is incredible in the United States. Even if it is powerful in the top cities like Los Angeles and Chicago, the mayor will pay attention to wealthy people of Qin Shiou, because his money is not stored in the bank, but is constantly investing outward. This is a big funder.

Qin Shiou is also a bit proud. Since the mayor is not interested in him, he doesn’t have to put a hot face on his cold butt. Just don’t get involved in the water.

Now that he heard Hamre’s question, Qin Shiou said: “I didn’t pay much attention, what’s wrong?”

Hamley looked at him and said slowly: "I guess you don't know much about the party system in our country, so I won't say much about it. Anyway, my political party intends to support me as the mayor of St. Johns."

This is a big news. Qin Shiou blinked and looked at Hamre. His expression on his face was so colorful. What's the point? This mayor is going to run for mayor? Isn't he fooling himself?

Hamre was not very natural when Qin Shiou saw it. He shrugged and smiled bitterly: "It seems that you really don't pay attention to St. Johns' politics. This is not possible. Qin, you are the owner of a big fishing ground, you have to pay attention to these."

Qin Shiou said: "I understand, I will pay attention to it in the future. But Hamre, I want to know how likely you are to succeed in your election?"

Speaking of future, Hamre's expression became solemn, saying, "My campaigner is still Okever, who is fighting for re-election. In terms of support, I don't have an advantage for the time being because the voters lack understanding of me."

"But I have an advantage, that is, during my administration, we bid farewell to the town's economy and achieved a rise. The St. Johns government under Okever's rule has been depressed for years, and some voters, especially new immigrants, are particularly dissatisfied with him."

"According to the current statistics, I can account for about 28% of voter approval ratings."

Hamre finished speaking in one breath, and then he was a little depressed. Okever had an absolute advantage.

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

Hamre said: "Yes, as long as the voters know me well enough, I believe that with my past achievements, I will definitely win a large number of voters' support. What they lack now is their understanding of me."

There is no need to say too much about smart people. Qin Shiou is not smart people, but he is not stupid. Hamre said this, and he understood the meaning of dealing with it. Hamre lacks the understanding of voters, and how do voters understand him? Propaganda! What does propaganda require? Money!

"How much money are you short of?" Qin Shiou asked.

Hamre avoided the important points: "We only started promoting it in June. So far, the total cost is about 15 million yuan."

The promotional fee of 15 million yuan is not much, but it is also a lot, because this is Canada, not the United States, this is St. Johns, not Toronto, Ottawa, not Los Angeles, and New York. (To be continued)
