    Qin Shiou nodded and understood. Hamre knew that he was rich and he was here to ask for publicity fees.

    He didn't care much about this. He didn't want to get involved in politics, but he was not short of money, so he said: "To put it bluntly, Hamley, if you become the mayor of St. Johns, if I  You¡¯ve sponsored me enough and you want to represent my interests?¡±

    Hamley said: ¡°As long as I follow the Constitution and Customary Law, I will represent the interests of my voters.¡±

    As expected of a politician, what he said is absolutely true.

    Qin Shiou thought about it and decided that it was necessary to sponsor Hamley's campaign, but he would not blindly make a guarantee. He would consult Auerbach's opinion on this to see how much investment would be appropriate.

    Hamre also understood what Qin Shiou meant, shook hands and left.

    As soon as he left, Qin Shiou went to find Auerbach who was working hard in the vegetable field and talked about the matter.

    Law and politics are twins. Although Auerbach has never entered the political system, he has been a lawyer for half a century and served as the chief judge of Newfoundland. His profound understanding of politics is probably unmatched by anyone in Newfoundland.  about.

    After listening to Qin Shiou¡¯s words, Auerbach, with his trouser legs rolled up and his feet covered in mud, sat down on the field ridge. He looked like an old farmer rather than a justice like before.

    "Two years ago, Hamley would have had no chance of winning. But thanks to the economic crisis sweeping the world and the U.S. debt crisis, St. John's economy has suffered a heavy blow in the past two years, and after the launch of tourism last year, the town's farewell  The economy has developed by leaps and bounds.¡±

    Auerbach briefly analyzed it, then called a few old friends, and finally told Qin Shiou: "Hamley is the new political star of the Canadian New Democratic Party in St. John's, but Newfoundland is not the New Democratic Party's  They have no money and no connections here, so it¡¯s going to be a tough campaign for Hamley.¡±

    ¡°Looking at it now, Hamre¡¯s winning rate is only 40% at best.¡±

    Qin Shiou asked: "What if we increase publicity?"

    "If the propaganda is strong enough, a dog can become the president of the United States." Auerbach used a sentence that the famous American President Roosevelt mocked his opponent. This is also a wise saying in political campaigns.

    Qin Shiou said frankly: "I want Hamre to come to power. You can see that the current government in St. John's does not care about the development of fisheries, and Hamre is more in line with our interests."

    "Then your publicity investment should be in the amount of tens of millions of yuan!" Auerbach said seriously.

    "Political elections are the most expensive thing. People without money can only watch the excitement, but don't get involved.

    If there is no such opportunity, Qin Shiou will not get involved, but this time it is Hamley who is running for election. If he can jump from the mayor of Farewell Town to the mayor of St. Johns, the resources he can obtain are terrifying.  .

    Auerbach could not directly tell Qin Shiou the funds Hamre needed. He had to contact old friends who had insider information and then make calculations based on various information.

    Qin Shiou stayed in the study in the afternoon to study this year's campaign in St. John's. He was supposed to take Xiang Hao around, so this task could only be left to Nelson.

    Speaking of which, Qin Shiou did not pay enough attention to the outside world. The news Hamre gave him was too shocking, but to other people in the town, this was not news. At the beginning of the year, Hamre participated in the mayoralty of St. Johns.  Campaign pledge meeting.

    Of course, Qin Shiou was celebrating the New Year in China at that time, so it was understandable that he missed it.

    In the evening, Auerbach found Qin Shiou and said, "After my calculations and confirmation from my old friends, if you are determined to help Hamre, your investment must be around 40 million!"

    Qin Shiou nodded, he knew it.

    Before dinner, Qin Shiou drove President No. 1 into Hamre's small villa.

    Hamley¡¯s wife cooked their hometown dishes to entertain him, including roast beef with York hot pudding, steak and kidney pie, Scottish smoked salmon, etc., with great enthusiasm.

    Hamre asked Qin Shiou to sit down and asked, "What do you think about the outcome?"

    "Besides me, how many people and funds can you attract?" Qin Shiou asked. He had to know what he was doing, otherwise once Hamre failed in the election, his investment would be in vain.

    Campaign funds have been called black gold again. This money is dirty in the eyes of ordinary people, because it is money to buy an official. There is not much difference between campaigning and buying an official.

    Therefore, for any political party and candidate, campaign funds are confidential. If the opponent knows about his campaign,Money, that would be a disaster.

    But Hamre didn't hide it from Qin Shiou, not because he trusted him, but because he could attract too few people and funds: "There are no large consortiums or large companies in St. John's. The funds we can use in the next quarter will be at most  Fifty million."

    Qin Shiou asked: "If you want to achieve your party's expected election goal, how much publicity funds will be needed?"

    "At least 90 million Canadian dollars!"

    Qin Shiou nodded. Auerbach was really an old man. His estimation was so accurate, which gave Qin Shiou some confidence.

    Looking at Hamre, Qin Shiou said slowly: "Very good, I will invest 50 million Canadian dollars for you!"

    Hamre¡¯s mouth suddenly twitched. He raised his eyebrows and almost exclaimed, fifty million Canadian dollars, this is half a hundred million!  Even for big cities like Toronto and Ottawa, this is a strong capital injection!

    Remember, this is just a small city election, this is not a U.S. presidential election.

    But Hamre has seen the world after all. He suppressed the shock in his heart and asked: "Fifty million? You want to invest fifty million for me?"

    Qin Shiou said: "Yes, fifty million, you know what I want, man, if you become the mayor, then I hope no one can touch my fishery!"

    Hamre was silent for a moment and whispered: "If I am elected mayor, I will make you feel like 'Farewell Island is your private island'!"

    This is the most heart-to-heart time for both parties, and it is also a commitment that candidates must make to solicit sponsorship.

    This promise is not a joke at the wine table. If the candidate is successfully elected, he must fulfill this promise, otherwise he will never be able to get a Canadian dollar from any investors in the future.

    Politics is so dark, dirty and naked, but men just want to do it!

    Both parties have laid out the conditions, and a deal has just begun. Qin Shiou will spare no effort to support Hamre's campaign because the conditions he gave are too tempting: Farewell Island will be designated as Qin Shiou's private territory.

    Of course, it is impossible for Hamley to sell Farewell Island to Qin Shiou. With such a large piece of land and citizens living on it, the Canadian government will not allow local governments to conduct private sales.

    But since Hamre made such a promise, he naturally has a way to fulfill his promise.

    Both parties are very satisfied, and the next step is to work together to achieve the goal.  (Remember the website address: www.hlnovel.com
