1627 Rise of the South China Sea

In addition to Shi Diwen and Chen Yixin, there are still a large group of people who are currently interested in running for the election, and it can be said that all of them are of extraordinary strength.

Yuan Qiuye, who is in charge of the Ministry of Agriculture, has been elected to the executive committee twice before. This time he is seeking to serve for the third time. He has a very good personal relationship with the current executive committee members.

There may be various difficulties in the election process for others, but for Yuan Qiuye, it can be said that he is familiar with the road.

Qiao Zhiya, deputy minister of the Ministry of Industry, has been in charge of Haihan's heavy industry construction for many years, and his qualifications and abilities have already met the requirements for being elected to the executive committee, but he has always lacked an opportunity to rise to the top.

This time, he also got the support of Beks, hoping to increase the Ministry of Industry's voice in the executive committee by introducing Qiao Zhiya.

Mariko, the consul of the two regions, has publicly stated as early as a year ago that he will run for the membership of the new executive committee in order to strive for more favorable policies for the regions he governs.

There are many chambers of commerce in Guangdong and Guangxi contributing money and efforts behind Maliko. In addition, there is a group of cross-border people who once worked in the old office in Guangzhou to voice their support, and the momentum is quite large.

Qiu Yuan, the governor of the Luzon Region, also had the same idea.However, the Luzon region has just ended a large-scale military operation, and a large area of ​​land that has been newly incorporated into the territory is still waiting for the Luzon authorities to govern. It may be difficult for Qiu Yuan to participate in domestic government affairs independently.

Cai Jinmei, Minister of Finance, is the only female official running for election, but no one dares to underestimate her existence.Cai Jinmei is backed by many state-owned consortiums, of course the most important one is the support from her master Schneider.

In addition to these people, there is another candidate who is not a cross-traveler, and that is Xu Yuzhuo, the governor of the Fujian Region.

After Xu Xinsu passed away, Haihan kept his promise and let the children of the Xu family continue to be in charge of the military and political power in Fujian.But this candidate, of course, is selected by the executive committee, and must be appointed by the executive committee.

Xu Yuzhuo, who was in charge of the Fujian Navy at that time, became the lucky one. He studied at the Naval Academy in Sanya in his early years, and later participated in many overseas military operations of Haihan, and his performance won the trust of the executive committee.When choosing an heir for Xu Xinsu, Xu Yuzhuo became the favored object of the Executive Committee without any surprise.

Logically speaking, the candidates for the executive committee can only be selected among the time-traveling people. No matter how high the naturalized official position is, at this stage they are not eligible to stand for election.

Of course Xu Yuzhuo was not ignorant of this rule, but his goal of participating was not to join the executive committee, but to show the loyalty of the Fujian Xu family to Haihan.

As for the executive committee that acquiesced in Yuzhuo's doing so, apart from favors, I'm afraid they are more concerned about the power transition period that will inevitably occur in the future.

With the gradual expansion of the country's territory, the proportion of naturalized citizens among high-level officials is also increasing, and intermarriages with cross-travel families are becoming more and more common.Although Xu Yuzhuo can't join the Executive Committee yet, perhaps his descendants will get such an opportunity.

But except for Xu Yuzhuo, who played soy sauce, the other candidates were gearing up for the next executive committee.

The votes of the members of the Executive Committee are all from the time-travelers, and each person can vote for two candidates.However, among the more than 400 people who participated in the time-traveling operation, more than 50 people have died over the years due to illness, accidents, etc.

Among the remaining people, two-thirds are currently settled in Hainan Island, and two-thirds of them are in Sanya.So no matter where you run for election, Sanya is an important vote warehouse that you can't get around.

Candidates who are in other places will naturally suffer a bit. They must spend more energy and invest more resources in order to win the votes in Sanya.

In fact, since last year, all kinds of gods from all walks of life have been showing their magical powers.

In order to win other people's votes, apart from personal connections and common interests, there is an invisible law that cannot be bypassed, which is political stance.To put it simply, it is to choose one of the two development directions, external or internal.

It’s fine to be a centrist, but why not have the influence of Schneider as a confidence, or why not run for election at all, and live your own happy life honestly.

Candidates who are willing to clearly express their positions will naturally have a great chance to win votes for the same position, and even support from senior officials of the Executive Committee.

As for how to express one's position to the time-traveling crowd, there are all kinds of ways, each with its own unique trick.

But among them, the most effective and most influential method is to publish a political article with a clear stand on the "Haihan Times" to make one's own opinions known to the public.

So although Ning Qi was very dissatisfied with Tao Donglai's publication of the article in the Times, he did not stop it in the end.He was just talking about the so-called removal of the article in advance, otherwise, wouldn't the Times have become a monologue at this time.

Of course Tao Donglai's article was not intended to win votes for himself, but after reading it, all those who are going to participate in the election should understand that it is time to clarify their position.

However, this kind of system only exists within the group of people who travel through, and the outside world knows little about it.Due to the extremely limited number of eligible voters, not to mention ordinary people, even some officials will not clearly feel the impact of various election activities.

For example, everyone in the Xingdao office who was confused by this article did not understand what happened at all.However, since the release of this issue of Haihan Times, the previously deserted office has obviously become lively.

It wasn't just ordinary people who were attracted by the lottery, but officials and businessmen also began to come to visit.

The purpose of businessmen's visits is relatively clear, that is, to learn about the investment attraction situation of Sing Tao and to inquire about the local industries that can be invested and operated.

Businessmen have a keen sense of smell. Now that the Times are already blowing the news, maybe there will be some special preferential investment promotion system introduced in the future.First go to the office to make a familiar face. If you really want to invest in Xingdao in the future, this is your network. Even if you only write a letter of introduction, you can avoid many detours when you go to a place where you are not familiar with people. .

Although Shao Tianhu spent a lot of time in Xingdao, he only had a half-knowledge of the investment promotion policy. The part of what he knew came from his hard work after taking up his duties in Sanya.

Therefore, when receiving visiting businessmen, he must also bring a consultant, otherwise, if he asks three questions, he will really look ugly.

But compared to businessmen with a clear purpose, Shao Tianhu felt that it was more difficult to receive those officials from all walks of life who talked half-spoken and refused to easily reveal their true intentions.
