Chapter 935: President's Day
The sea and sky in the Maldives are still so beautiful. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info
The weather was still hot in some parts of Europe and Africa at the beginning of September, and the number of people at the airport was much higher than during the off-season.
Don't think that all the countries in Africa are poor, North Africa is close to Europe, and there are extremely rich oil reserves near the sea and on land, and the people there are so rich that they can afford to consume in the Maldives.
Coupled with the fact that some areas are close to the Sahara Desert and the weather is hot, many black people who are tired of seeing the European landscape have also come to the Maldives for vacation, which has been very popular recently.
The airport was full of people, Han Xuan took a plane for more than ten hours, landed on the airport island next to Malé, the capital of the Republic of Maldives.
The huge Snow Mountain private jet ended taxiing and stopped on the tarmac, twenty or thirty meters longer than the ordinary passenger planes next to it, and the airport supervisor had already received the news and came with a group of younger brothers to welcome Han Xuan, who might become his boss in the future.
In the humble customs department, the customs officers are particularly enthusiastic and forget all the rules and regulations.
Without checking their passports, visas and weapons, they were sent directly to the exit of the airport, and until Han Xuan boarded the boat at the pier, he still waved his hand from afar.
The surrounding tourists watched the scene with amazement, and only when they found Han Xuan did they know why they did it, a large landowner who owns half of the current tourist island in the Maldives, deserves the enthusiasm of those people......
Taking the ferry to Malé, Han Xuan saw the Hamill campaign billboards on the deck of the ferry and walked over to take a look.
It reads, in English and Dhivehi, "Support Hamill for a new era in the Maldives!"
From the moment I got off the plane, I was in the airport and saw similar billboards.
There are docks and store entrances, and advertising brainwashing bombardment is in place.
Hamill, who wore a suit, was very young and energetic, and he was specially recruited from the top photographer from the United States to photograph him very handsomely.
Han Xuan asked Secretary Wensen and said, "Do you know how much money it cost to help him campaign this time?"
Secretary Dawson quickly replied, "The first time I invested two million dollars, and the next two times were so much."
I don't know if the six million dollars have been spent, which is much less than the 10 million expected. ”
"That's not bad. Han Xuan nodded and said.
“…… You can't compare the elections of this country to that of us in the United States.
The population of the Maldives is just over 200,000, and $6 million is spread evenly among each voter, which is already a lot. ”
Secretary Dawson leaned over and continued to whisper in Han Xuan's ear: "Some of that money was used in shady places, otherwise it wouldn't have been spent so much."
The other presidential candidate raised the most money for his campaign, just over $2 million......"
"To win elections, two things are needed.
One is money, and the second I can't remember. ”
In every round of the U.S. presidential election, the words of campaign expert Mark Hannah more than 100 years ago are always quoted repeatedly by the U.S. media.
Clinton's campaign funds are in the tens of millions of dollars, and in the Obama era, it will cost hundreds of millions of dollars to run for president, which is not a "political game" that ordinary people can afford at all.
Billionaires like Donald in the future who run out of their own pockets are, after all, only a very small minority.
It's not that if you have more campaign money, you will definitely be able to become president, but relatively speaking, if you have more money, you will have better publicity, and you will have a much better chance of becoming president.
Hamill has the full support of Han Xuan, as well as political donations from supporters, which are worth tens of millions of dollars.
Therefore, it is logical that he can get so many votes with the title of political newcomer, and so much money is enough to run for the mayor of a first-tier city in the United States.
When Han Xuan heard Dawson say this, he immediately figured out the insider trading, and it was strange that a government official in a poor small country like this was not greedy.
I'm not afraid that they want money, I'm afraid they don't want money, and now that Hamill has successfully obtained the presidency, everything is worth it.
As long as he is not in office, he can be re-elected for several terms, as the previous president did......
The ferry arrived at Male Island very quickly.
It's now past 10 o'clock in the morning, and the results of the election are officially announced at 12 o'clock in the afternoon, and most of the local elites, except for ordinary people in the Maldives, already know the final results.
In the streets, supporters of different candidates flocked to the entrance of the presidential palace, numbering as many as 2,000, holding banners and signs.
The motorcade came to a small building not far from the presidential palace, where Hamill's campaign office was located.
There were also many of his supporters blocking the entrance and exit at the door, and the scene was too chaotic to get out of the car and walk in smoothly.
Gabriel suggested that Han Xuan wait first, get out of the car alone and go around the four-story new building, find the side door and drive the car there, escorting Han Xuan into the small building.
Anya and Isabelli went directly to the big island that would be renamed Vila in the future, and did not follow.
The animals only came to Fat Ding, and now they are with Anya and the others, and the other animals are too lazy to run around and stay at the Gambo Sea Ranch, and it is not easy for them to fly by plane.
Successfully found the location of Hamill's campaign office, and the atmosphere inside was like a party.
Members of the campaign team, Hamill's businessmen, supporters of politicians, and the grass on the wall ready to move closer to him all crowded on the third floor to congratulate him.
Dressed in a black suit and white shirt, shiny leather shoes and a red plaid tie, Hamill shook hands with the president of the local fishermen's union.
I found a group of Western men walking in, and the room suddenly fell silent.
Hamill knew these people, and then he saw Han Xuan among them, and immediately put down the coffee cup in his hand, ready to run to say hello to him.
Han Xuan was afraid that he would say something inappropriate, so he took the lead in saying in Dhivehi: "Congratulations, Mr. President Hamill.
I'm glad that Pisces Island has a president for the first time.
When I first met you, I thought you were a very capable person, but I didn't expect to become a president when I met again, haha!"
There was some compliment in his words, there were too many outsiders around, and he didn't want to reveal his true relationship with Hamill.
The vast majority of people around still think that the force behind Hamill is the United States, and the aborigines of the islands under Han Xuan's name supported Hamill before, but they only thought that he was a resident of Pisces Island, and did not think deeply.
If it is known that the new president is Han Xuan's puppet, the consequences will be unimaginable.
Hamill was not stupid, understood what Han Xuan meant, slowed down and coughed, and stretched out his hand to him: "Thank you for the compliment."
I'm not president yet, and the results of the vote are not coming out. ”
"You're so polite, we already know the results, don't you?" (To be continued.) )
