    Qin Shiou asked about the price. The price of this special rocket fire-fighting vehicle is about 250,000 Canadian dollars. The main reason is that the car is expensive. The price of the rocket launcher is not high. Together with the rockets, it only costs half the price, which is less than 150,000 Canadian dollars.  Take it.

    Even for civilian fire extinguishers, according to policy regulations, they cannot be sold to private individuals. Qin Shiou called Hamre and asked him to help order five sets from China in the name of Farewell Town.

    Five sets is the limit. Canada and China have jointly formulated anti-dumping laws. This kind of heavy mechanical equipment can only sell up to five sets at a time.

    Hamre really didn¡¯t want to do this kind of thing, it was too risky. He came to Qin Shiou with a grimace, hoping that he would stop playing with fire and just protect a fishing ground. Why was 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 Farewell Island is in the hands of a Chinese. Everyone thinks that Chinese people are weak and easy to bully. Everyone wants to come to my fishing ground to get a share of the pie.  Tell me, what should I do?"

    Hamre cursed "Fake" bitterly, which can only mean that the white fishermen committed suicide.

    Qin Shiou added: "If possible, I also hope that everyone can coexist peacefully, but this is obviously not possible. But I can promise, Hamre, my buddy, as long as the fishermen who steal the fish do not do too much, I will not  Use these things.¡±

    From beginning to end, Qin Shiou only called various fire extinguishers and equipment "things" instead of "weapons".

    Hamre has nothing more to say. The fate of Farewell Island is integrally connected with Qin Shiou's fishing ground. If the fishing ground collapses again, the town's tourism industry will no longer be able to maintain it. In a sense, he and Qin Shiou are on the same side.  In a trench.

    The matter was settled, but Hamre did not leave. He hesitated and said: "Qin, I don't know if you are paying attention to our Canadian politics. The election for the mayor of St. John's is about to begin. Have you paid attention to this?  Something?"

    Like the United States, the appointment of mayors in Canada has nothing to do with the president, governor, governor, senior officials, etc. They are elected by the voters of the city where they are located.

    Qin Shiou knew that this year was an election year for cities in Canada, but he was really at a loss about this country's government system. Looking around the world, there are not many government systems that are more cumbersome than Canada.

    Canada¡¯s government system can be summarized as ¡®monarchy¡¯, ¡®federalism¡¯, and ¡®parliamentary system¡¯. It is simply formed by absorbing the political systems of European and American countries, but in the end it became the same.

    Qin Shiou still remembers the history teacher¡¯s introduction to the political systems of European and American countries when he was in junior high school: 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 and implements parliamentary democracy.  system, following the system of separation of powers

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

    A brief introduction would be simple, that is, the nominal ruler of Canada is the Queen of England, who rules the country but does not manage it; those who control the country are the Canadian Prime Minister and the Cabinet of Ministers, including the Senate and the House of Representatives; and those who truly manage local areas are the various  The mayor of the city.

    To put it simply, Canada¡¯s central political system is similar to that of the United Kingdom, but when it is decentralized to the municipal level, the political system is the same as that of the United States.

    Therefore, like various cities in the United States, mayors are elected by local voters. They do not need to consider the central and provincial governments when formulating local economic development policies. They only need to be responsible to local voters within the scope of the law.

    From this point of view, what the current mayor of St. Johns, Dennis O'Keeffe, did is unreasonable. 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 fisheries and contributed so much tax revenue to St. John's. O'Keeffe only entertained Qin Shiou at the press conference to present the Special Economic Recovery Contribution Award, and did not even say hello at other times.

    This is unbelievable in the United States. Even in top cities like Los Angeles and Chicago, the mayor will pay attention to a rich man like Qin Shiou, because his money is not stored in the bank, but is constantly invested abroad. This is a big deal.  Investor.

    Qin Shiou is also a bit arrogant. Since the mayor is not interested in him, there is no need to rub his hot face against his cold butt.

    Now after hearing Hamre¡¯s question, Qin Shiou said: ¡°I didn¡¯t pay much attention to it, what¡¯s wrong?¡±

    Hamre 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 more. Anyway, that's what I mean.My political party plans to support my candidacy for mayor of St. John's.  "

    This is breaking news. Qin Shiou blinked and looked at Hamre, with a colorful expression on his face. What the hell?  Mr. Mayor, is he running for mayor?  Are you kidding yourself?

    Qin Shiou looked at Hamre unnaturally. He shrugged and said with a bitter smile: "It seems that you really don't pay attention to the politics of St. John's. That's not okay. Qin, you are a big fishery owner, 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 what are your chances of succeeding in the election?"

    Speaking of his future, Hamre¡¯s expression became solemn and he said: ¡°My candidate is still O¡¯Keeffe, who is running for re-election. In terms of support rate, I don¡¯t have an advantage for the time being because voters lack understanding of me.¡±

    "But I have an advantage, that is, during my administration, the economy of our town of Farewell took off. However, the St. John's government under O'Keeffe's administration has experienced years of economic downturn, and some voters, especially new immigrants, are particularly dissatisfied with him."

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

    Hamre finished speaking in one breath, and then felt a little frustrated. O'Keeffe had an absolute advantage.

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

    Hamre said: "Yes, as long as voters know me well, I believe that based on my past political achievements, I will be able to win the support of a large number of voters. What they lack now is their understanding of me."

    "A smart person doesn't need to say too much. Qin Shiou is not a smart person, but he is not stupid either.  When Hamre said this, he understood the meaning of dealing with him. Hamre lacked the understanding of the voters, and how could the voters understand him?  publicity!  What is needed for publicity?  money!

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

    Hamley avoided the important and took the easy view: "We only started promoting it in June. So far, the total cost has been about 15 million yuan."

    Fifteen million yuan in promotional expenses is not a lot, but it is still a lot, because this is Canada, not the United States, this is St. John's, not Toronto, Ottawa, let alone Los Angeles or New York.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
