Edel had also heard that Eastern Galicia had become a hot spot for investment. However, this time the royal family's funds had been drained, and he could only watch blankly.
At present, the government is mainly responsible for investment in Eastern Galicia, and Eder is summoning an ambassador this time.
With the performance of the Romanian War and the rise of national power, there are currently more and more embassies in Romania. However, most of them are small countries, and this time a country aroused his interest. Shao, the newly appointed Romanian ambassador of the Republic of China
Akihito is being summoned by Edel.
For the Romanian people, the current image of the Republic of China is that they occasionally read in newspapers that it has a large population and a huge territory, but the people are suffering from endless wars. Because there are too few economic and trade exchanges between the two countries, many news are reproduced by countries such as Britain and France.
, and I am not very familiar with this country.
In the past, the diplomatic affairs between the Republic of China and Romania were handled by the Austro-Hungarian Embassy. However, Romania was neither a place to study abroad nor had economic ties, so there were not many diplomatic matters.
However, with the defeat of Germany and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Romania suddenly emerged in the Balkans and Central Europe. For this reason, the Beiyang government allocated half of the staff of the Vienna Embassy to build the first Republic of China Embassy in Romania, and Shao
Akihito was the first Romanian ambassador.
Speaking of Ambassador Shao Mingren, it was also a coincidence. Before that, he was a first secretary in Vienna, because he had to take charge of the diplomatic affairs of Romania and other Balkans. And because Romania was only a small country in the Balkans at that time, it was not related to Romania.
He is responsible for foreign affairs. Therefore, he has been dealing with Romanian government officials and is relatively familiar with the situation in Romania.
After the war, when Romania seized large tracts of new territory and became a relatively important country in Europe, the Beiyang government discovered that it did not have a dedicated embassy to deal with it. So after looking for diplomatic talents who were familiar with Romania,
Shao Mingren, the first secretary, came into the sight of the Beiyang Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Afterwards, Shao Mingren, who was still confused after being promoted several levels, was arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to serve as ambassador to Romania. Of course, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs did not require him to make much contribution to the progress of Romania-China relations. It was better to become familiar with him first.
As for the Republic of China's opening of the embassy in Romania, Eder also planned to meet people from his previous homeland on a whim.
"Ambassador Shao, are you still used to life in Bucharest?"
Edel looked at Ambassador Shao who was still a little reluctant to let go in front of him, and asked with concern.
Faced with the concern of the King of Romania, Shao Mingren bowed slightly in compliance with diplomatic etiquette and replied: "Thank you, His Majesty the King, for your concern for me. I am doing well in Bucharest. Your government has been very helpful to me.
I’m deeply grateful for that.”
After Shao Mingren answered, he felt a little lucky in his heart. Because the funds given to him by the Beiyang government to open the Bucharest embassy were only 10,000 yuan, and the money was obtained by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with great difficulty, Shao Renming had nothing to do about it. The country is currently divided.
Given the separatist situation, which embassy abroad does not have to find ways to generate income on its own? How could he not understand, having lived in Europe for many years?
However, there are currently too few economic and trade connections between Romania and the country, which prevents Ambassador Shao from launching his income-generating plan.
But what makes him even more uncomfortable is that the high cost of housing and living in Bucharest makes it impossible to spend 10,000 yuan, let alone buy some good clothes and hold banquets to deepen the relationship with other ambassadors. So Shao Mingren spent this day
It's very tight.
Fortunately, the Romanian government provided some help after learning about the plight of their embassy, so the embassy can be maintained.
After hearing what Shao Mingren said, Edel continued: "Ambassador Shao, Romania and China have always had good relations. We have imported many products from China, such as bristles, tung oil, tungsten ore, raw silk, tea, etc."
After hearing Edel's speech, Shao Mingren also politely replied: "Thank you Romania for its love of our products."
"However, China imports too few products from our country. For example, Romanian chemical products, automobiles, and processed food products, we can continue to cooperate with these."
Edel changed the topic and talked about the current economic and trade issues between the two countries.
Speaking of Romania’s main exports of grain, petrochemicals and automobiles, they have always been unable to find sales in China. Competition from North America is the main factor. American grain, Ford cars, and Mobil Oil have made Romania completely
There is no market in this strange land.
For example, last year, the annual trade volume between Romania and China was 34 million lei, of which Romania's imports were close to 30 million lei, while exports were only 4 million lei. The imports were mainly bristle, tung oil, tungsten ore, raw silk, tea, etc.
Exports are mainly weapons. The main reason is actually because of the German weapons used in Romania. China's obsession with German weapons has led some middlemen to import a lot of weapons and ammunition from Romania. Isn't it funny?
In fact, Romania's current exports are mainly aimed at neighboring countries, and there is no pressure on foreign trade with China. However, people who are not long-term must worry about the short-term. It is impossible for Edel to wait until the domestic economy develops to the point where it cannot accommodate it before finding a market for it, let alone ten years.
after the famous economic crisis.
If you open the world map now, you can see that Europe is still the engine of the world's economy. However, each country has its own trade barriers, and Romania is unlikely to occupy much of it, except for a few surrounding countries. It trades with the Soviet Union.
, Edel does not plan to do this until there is no first person to eat crabs. Besides, what they mainly buy is various factory equipment, and Romania itself needs to import it.
Africa is a colony of various countries and a dumping ground for the goods of its mother country. Even the United States is so powerful that it cannot open this market, so don't think about it. Don't think about it. Don't think about America. This is an economic colony of the United States. Romania has no ability to challenge. Asia
In other words, except for a few independent sovereign countries, most of them are colonies.
However, among this limited number of countries, China is definitely the top priority that Romania needs to attack. Even if it is in war and the people are struggling to survive, it has never fallen out of the scope of the world's major economies. Eder obviously wants a piece of the pie.
