Chapter 3114
In addition to Shi Diwen and Chen Yixin, there are currently a large group of people who are interested in running for election, and it can be said that all of them are extraordinary.
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.
The election process may be difficult for others, but for Yuan Qiuye, it can be said that it is a familiar journey.
Qiao Zhiya, Vice Minister of the Ministry of Industry, has been in charge of Haihan's heavy industry construction for many years. 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, we also received the support of Bai Kesi, who hoped to increase the voice of the Ministry of Industry in the Executive Committee by introducing Qiao Zhiya.
Malik, the governor of the two major regions, publicly announced a year ago that he would run for membership in the new executive committee in order to obtain more favorable policies for the regions he governs.
Behind Malico, many chambers of commerce in Guangdong and Guangxi contributed money and effort. In addition, there were also a group of people who had worked in the old Guangdong and Guangdong Affairs Office to voice their support, and the momentum was also quite large.
Qiu Yuan, the governor of the Luzon region, also had the same idea. However, the Luzon Region has just concluded a large-scale military operation, and a large area of newly incorporated territory is still waiting to be managed by the Luzon authorities. It may be difficult for Qiu Yuan to participate in domestic government affairs.
Finance Minister Cai Jinmei is the only female elected official, but no one dares to underestimate her existence. Cai Jinmei has the support of many state-owned consortiums, and of course the most important one is the support from her master Schneider.
In addition to these people, there is also a non-traditional candidate, Xu Yuzhuo, the governor of the Fujian region.
After Xu Xinsu passed away, Haihan kept his promise and allowed the children of the Xu family to continue to be in charge of the military and political power in Fujian. But of course this candidate 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 the time, became this lucky man. In his early years, he went to the Naval Academy in Sanya to study abroad. Later, he participated in many of Haihan's overseas military operations, and his performance won the trust of the Executive Committee. When choosing Xu Xinsu's successor, Xu Yuzhuo unsurprisingly became the favorite of the executive committee.
Logically speaking, the candidates for the executive committee can only be selected from among the people who have traveled through time. No matter how high their naturalized status is, they are not yet qualified to stand for election at this stage.
Of course Xu Yuzhuo was not unaware of this rule, but his goal in participating was not to join the executive committee, but to show the Fujian Xu family's loyalty to Haihan.
As for the executive committee that tacitly allowed Yuzhuo to do this, in addition to favors, I am 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-ranking officials has become higher and higher, and intermarriage with various families across time has become more and more common. Although Xu Yuzhuo cannot yet join the executive committee, perhaps his descendants will get such an opportunity.
But except for the soy sauce Xu Yuzhuo, the other candidates are gearing up and aiming to enter the next executive committee.
The votes for executive committee members come from the public, and each person can vote for two candidates. However, dozens of the more than 400 people who participated in the time-travel operation have died over the years due to illness, accidents, etc.
Among the remaining people, two-thirds are currently settled on Hainan Island, and two-thirds of them are in the Sanya area. Therefore, no matter where you run for election, Sanya is an important vote base that cannot be bypassed. Candidates who are out of town will naturally suffer some losses and must spend more energy and invest more resources in order to win votes from Sanya.
In fact, since last year, gods from all over the world have been showing off their magical powers.
To win the votes of others, in addition to personal connections and common interests, there is now an invisible rule that cannot be bypassed, which is political stance. To put it simply, it means choosing one of two development directions: external or internal.
It’s okay to be a centrist if you want to, as long as you have influence like Schneider as your backing, or you can just not run for office and just live your happy life.
Candidates who are willing to clearly state their position will naturally have a great chance of winning 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-travelling crowd, there are many different ways to do it, each with their own unique ideas.
But among them, the method with the quickest effect and the widest influence is to publish a political article with a clear stance in the "Haihan Times" to make one's opinions public.
So although Ning Qi was very dissatisfied with Tao Donglai's article in the Times, he did not stop it in the end. The so-called removal of articles in advance was just a talk. Otherwise, the newspaper would become a one-word forum.
Of course, Tao Donglai's article was not intended to attract votes for himself, but after reading it, all those who are preparing to participate in this election should understand that it is time to make their position clear.
However, this system only exists within the group of transhumance, and the outside world knows very little about it. Since the number of people eligible to vote is extremely limited, let alone ordinary people, even some officials will not clearly feel the impact of various election campaigns.
For example, everyone in the Xingdao office who was confused about this article had no idea what was going on. However, since the publication of this issue of Haihan Times, the office that used to be deserted has obviously become lively.
Those who took the initiative to visit were not just ordinary people attracted by the lottery, but officials and businessmen also began to appear.
Most of the businessmen's purpose of visiting is relatively clear, which is to learn about the investment promotion situation of Xingdao and inquire about the local industries available for investment and operation.
Businessmen have a very keen sense of smell. Now that the Times has already announced it, there may be some special preferential investment promotion systems that will be introduced in the future. First, go to the office to get familiar with your face. If you really want to invest in Xingdao in the future, you will have a network of contacts. Even if you just write a letter of introduction, you can avoid a lot of detours when you go to a place where you are unfamiliar with the place. .
Although Shao Tianhu spent a lot of time in Xingdao, he only had a partial understanding of investment policies. The part he knew came from his hard work after taking up his duties in Sanya.
Therefore, when receiving visiting businessmen, he must bring a consultant with him, otherwise it will not look good if he doesn't know anything about everything.
But compared to businessmen with clear intentions, Shao Tianhu felt that the ones that were more difficult to receive were the officials from all walks of life who spoke half-heartedly and refused to easily reveal their true intentions.
