Golden Fishery

After watching TV, Qin Shiou lay on the sofa and began to browse the web with his mobile phone. Only after this time did he find that there were more news about the Huahu on the Internet. There were more than tens of thousands of people claiming that his friends had seen this ship. Qin Shiou was also drunk , Is it really okay for everyone to talk nonsense with their eyes open like this?

The ship belonged to Greenland, and it once carried two newlyweds who wanted to go to New York for their honeymoon. Now the descendants of one of the newlyweds showed up, claiming to form an expedition team to investigate the situation of the Flower Fox.

From these people, more legends were derived from the Flower Fox. The descendants of the newlyweds are the woman's continuous blood relatives. He swore that his grandparents were descendants of wizards, and he believed that the grandparents were not dead. in the North Atlantic.

Qin Shiou scratched his head. Originally, he planned to use the Flower Fox to create some thrilling topics, but now it seems that these fucking people are going to make it into the rhythm of a fantasy blockbuster.

With the reappearance of the Flower Fox in people's field of vision, the topic of the ghost ship has triggered a frenzy of public opinion. Even in winter, many people still sail to the waters of Newfoundland in the North Atlantic Ocean.

Hani, the acting mayor of Farewell Island, is also a talent. He plans to take the opportunity to decorate a ship, create a ghost ship atmosphere and start a ghost ship tourism business.

When the charity event of the four towns was held last time, Hamley proposed that Qin Shiou run for the mayor of the small town, but when he came back, he was busy with things and the election time was still far away, so Qin Shiou hadn't made any preparations.

In Canada, the government minds from the municipal level down are the same as in the United States. They are elected by voters in the jurisdiction, about the summer of the second year after the mayoral election.

In this way, Qin Shiou's ligament was injured and he couldn't walk around, so he settled down to understand Canada's grassroots management system. Learn about small-scale elections.

According to Canada's constitution, town-level elections do not need to be reported to the central government in Ottawa, but only to the municipal and provincial governments.

Each election has four to six candidates who can run as long as they are not disenfranchised, in the case of immigrants. That must have lived in Canada for at least one year, and has contributed to the development of the regional economy, politics and public undertakings.

When voting at the end, the candidate must get the most votes among all the candidates and get more than two-fifths of the votes, so that he can become the final mayor.

From this point of view, Qin Shiou is qualified, and what Hamre said is right, as long as he can run for the election. That basically didn't run away, and the position of mayor was his.

Qin Shiou asked the mayor of Auerbach what he wanted to do. The old lawyer shrugged and said, "Mayor? That's a civil servant.

Nothing to do. Just know how to brag. "

This is the consistent attitude of Canadians towards civil servants, which is similar to that of Americans. When Nixon announced his participation in the presidential election, some people questioned how he, a small businessman, could be qualified for the position of president. At that time, Nixon said easily that he could become a successful businessman and do A successful president is no problem.

Qin Shiou said helplessly: "Don't be like this, father. Be serious, I really want to know the rights and obligations of the mayor."

Auerbach came to his senses and asked, "Are you interested in this? Hamley has approached you. Want you to be the mayor?"

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Yes, you guessed it right, what do you think?"

Auerbach shrugged his shoulders, considered his wording, and said, "Actually, the work of the mayor is not complicated. Farewell Town is not a big town. The economy is on the right track, and the law and order are good. You don't need to make major decisions. But , I'm not sure you're doing this right."

He sat across from Qin Shiou. Start to slowly tell about the operation of small towns in Canada and the nature of the mayor's work.

In Canada, local governments operate public finances, use public power, spend taxpayers' money, and take care of public interests. Therefore, the organization and personnel arrangements of local governments are relatively simple. Towns in small towns Whoever the people think can lead them to develop better will be the mayor of the town.

If Qin Shiou ran for the election, he would definitely succeed, not because he had a good relationship with Hamley, but because he was highly recognized by the townspeople of Farewell Town.

As the most basic member of the local government, the town government also manages public property, and has more contact with the townspeople, and must be recognized by the townspeople.

"It's not easy to be the mayor, Qin, how do you think you are doing now? It must be very good, right? Every time you go to the town, everyone greets you kindly and likes to play with you, doesn't it?" asked Auerbach.

Qin Shiou shrugged and said, "Yes, I think I'm popular."

"The standards are different. Everyone recognizes you because you are just an ordinary immigrant. You took over a bankrupt fishery, and then invested heavily to provide 20 jobs in the town. As a new immigrant, you helped everyone to Thank you very much for the tourism resources, but there is a premise for all of this!"

"The premise is that you are just an ordinary immigrant, a good-natured and generous young man."

"If you are the mayor, that's not the case. Knowing that Hamley did a poll when he finally left the town, how satisfied is he?"

"48%, not more than half! And if the tourism industry hadn't been developed a year ago, it is estimated that his satisfaction can reach 20%!" Auerbach said heavily.

Qin Shiou couldn't believe it, he didn't understand this.

"The mayor is a very complicated position. From the outside, it looks like all powers are unified, like an emperor. In fact, this is a nanny, but instead of taking care of one or two children, he takes care of the entire town!"

"I told you, Farewell is a small town. It has a housing authority, a redevelopment committee, an education committee, and a finance committee. But in order to save money, these jobs are available, but no one is filling them. Who will do the job?"

Facing Auerbach's gaze, cold sweat broke out on Qin Shiou's back: "Don't tell me, Dad, the mayor does all these jobs!"

"Now it seems that the mayor of the town is doing at least half of the work. In the past, for example, the directors of the housing, education and redevelopment committees were all done by Hamre, but now Haney is doing it." Auerbach told him a fact cruelly. .

"If you think these committees are all there is to it, you're kidding, there's the Human Resources Committee, the Housing Partnership, the Government Business Relations Committee, the Voter Registration Department, the Land Planning Approval Council, the Design Review Council, the Children's Services Advisory Committee ..." Auerbach spit out the names of these institutions in one breath, and Qin Shiou's eyes straightened.

"These are the departments directly under your administration. You have to be responsible for managing the personnel in these departments, make overall plans, and be directly responsible to them!" Auerbach said.

"This is more than that, this is just the earliest and simplest thing..." (to be continued)
