Eastern Galicia has become a hot spot for investment, and Edel has also heard of it. But this time the royal family's funds have been emptied, and he can only watch it dryly.

At present, the investment in Eastern Galicia is mainly the government's responsibility, and Eder is summoning an ambassador this time.

With the performance of this Romanian war and the rise of national strength, there are more and more embassies in Romania. But most of them are small countries, and this time one country caught his interest. The newly appointed Romanian ambassador of the Republic of China, Shao Mingren, is being summoned by Edel.

For the Romanian people, the current image of the Republic of China is to occasionally read in the 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 reprinted by countries such as Britain and France, and they are not familiar with this country.

In the past, the diplomatic affairs between the Republic of China and Romania were handled by the Austro-Hungarian embassy, ​​but Romania was neither a place of study nor economic ties, so there were not many diplomatic affairs.

But with the defeat of Germany and the collapse of the Austro-Hungarian Empire, Romania emerged in the Balkans and Central Europe. To this end, the Beiyang government divided half of the staff of the Vienna embassy and built the first embassy of the Republic of China in Romania, and Shao Mingren was the first Romanian ambassador.

Speaking of this Ambassador Shao Mingren, it is also a coincidence. Before, he was the first secretary in Vienna, because he was in charge of foreign affairs of Romania and other Balkans, and since Romania was only one of the small countries of the Balkans at that time, he was in charge of foreign affairs with Romania. Therefore, he has always dealt with Romanian government officials, and he is familiar with the situation in Romania.

After the war, Romania seized a large area of ​​new territory and became a more important country in Europe. At this time, the Beiyang government found that it did not have a special embassy to deal with it. Therefore, after searching for diplomatic talents who are familiar with Romania, Shao Mingren, the first-class secretary, came to the attention of the Beiyang Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Afterwards, Shao Mingren, who was still a little confused after several grades, was arranged by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs to be an ambassador to Romania. Of course, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs is not asking him to make much contribution to the progress of Romania-China relations, it is better to get familiar with it first.

As for the opening of the embassy in Romania by the Republic of China, Eder also planned to meet people from his previous homeland on a whim.

"Ambassador Shao, are you still used to living in Bucharest?"

Edel looked at Ambassador Shao, who still couldn't let go in front of him, and asked with concern.

Facing the concern of the Romanian king, Shao Mingren bowed slightly in observance of diplomatic etiquette,

He replied: "Thank you, His Majesty, for your concern for me. I am all well in Bucharest. Your government has helped me a lot, for which I am very grateful."

After Shao Mingren answered, he felt a little fortunate in his heart. Because the Beiyang government gave him only 10,000 oceans to open the Bucharest embassy, ​​and this money was obtained by the Ministry of Foreign Affairs with great difficulty, Shao Renming could not do anything about it. Given the current domestic fragmentation situation, which embassy abroad does not want to find ways to generate revenue by itself. He had lived in Europe for many years, how could he not understand.

However, there are currently too few economic and trade links between Romania and China, which makes it impossible for Ambassador Shao's income-generating plan to start.

But what made him even more uncomfortable was that the high cost of housing and living in Bucharest made the 10,000 yuan of the ocean go unexploited, not to mention buying a few good clothes and hosting a banquet to deepen the connection with other ambassadors. So Shao Mingren lived very tight these days.

Fortunately, the Romanian government gave some help after learning about the dilemma of their embassy, ​​so they could maintain the embassy.

After hearing Shao Mingren's words, Eder continued: "Ambassador Shao, Romania and China have always had a good relationship. We have imported a lot of products from China, such as pig bristles, tung oil, tungsten ore, raw silk, tea, etc."

Hearing Edel's speech, Shao Mingren also politely replied: "Thank you for Romania's love for our products."

"However, China imports too few products from my country. For example, Romanian chemical products, automobiles, and processed food products, we can all continue to cooperate."

Eder changed the conversation and talked about the current economic and trade issues between the two countries.

Speaking of which, Romania's main exports of grain, petrochemicals and automobiles have been unable to open up roads in China. This is the main factor when competition from North America. U.S. grains, Ford cars, and Mobil Oil have left Romania completely without sales 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 its exports were only 4 million lei. Imports are mainly pig bristles, tung oil, tungsten ore, raw silk, tea and so on.

Exports are mainly weapons. The main reason is actually because of the German weapons used in Romania, and 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 exports are mainly aimed at neighboring countries, and there is no pressure on foreign trade with China. However, people without far-sightedness must have near-term worries. Eder cannot wait until the domestic economy develops too much to find a market for him, let alone the famous economic crisis ten years later.

At present, when you open the world map, you can see that Europe is still the engine of the world's economy. However, each country has its own trade barriers, and it is impossible for Romania to occupy much of it, except for a few surrounding countries. Trade with the USSR, which Eder does not intend to do until the first person eats crabs. Besides, they mainly buy all kinds of factory equipment, which Romania itself needs to import.

Africa is a colony of various countries, and it is a dumping ground for its suzerain country's goods. Even the United States cannot open this market with such a strong power, so I don't think so. And don't think about the Americas. This is an economic colony of the United States, and Romania has no ability to challenge it. In Asia, except for a few independent sovereign states, most of them are colonies.

However, among this limited number of countries, China is definitely the top priority for Romania. Even if the war has made life difficult for the people, it has never fallen out of the scope of the world's major economies. Edel clearly wanted a piece of the pie.
