Facing Edel’s question, Ambassador Shao Mingren felt that he did not know how to answer. The ambassador who just took office is not an economist. I really don't know how to answer this question.
So after thinking about it again and again, he said: "It may be that Romania is not well-known in the country, and other countries have been operating in China for many years, and the public has recognized them."
Facing the answer given by Ambassador Shao, Prieshan thought for a while and replied: "It is true that Romania had no reputation in your country before. But I believe that with the development of Romania in the future, Romania will be completely It will make the Chinese people like it. Because we have also grown from a weak, and our two countries have no political disputes at all. We have never invaded or oppressed your country. A new friend who has no bad deeds believes that your country will like it. ."
Shao Mingren, who was taken aback by what Edel said, immediately replied: "Your Majesty, you are right, the relationship between Romania and China will surely reach a new level in the future."
He did not expect Edel to evaluate such great powers as Britain and France. It is true that many European countries now call the war with China before Britain and France as punishment for ignorant society.
Maybe I can use this opportunity to improve the relationship with the king, and it will also benefit my weight in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. After all, not everyone can become a friend of a country's monarch, especially the country is relatively powerful.
Thinking of this, Ambassador Shao's heart is a little hot. "Unexpectedly, His Majesty the King would have such sympathy for China. On behalf of the Beiyang government, I am very grateful for your righteous words."
After hearing Ambassador Shao’s speech, Edel laughed and said, “It’s nothing. A country composed of 40,000 Chinese people will definitely have its own place in the world in the future. It is just the dawn before the dark. As long as China No one can ignore the power of your country when reunification is restored."
After Wanhou, Edel added a sentence in his heart, but it takes a long time to complete the real unity, because there is a vicious dog beside you.
"Thank you very much for your majesty's attention to the Chinese people. We will never forget those countries that really helped us. For Romania, our people will definitely know your country's goodwill."
Ambassador Shao, who has no supernatural powers and cannot hear Edel's inner words, is really happy this time. Because it is really seldom allowed to judge China apart from this, especially if this person is still the monarch of a country.
At present, the general attitude of European countries towards the ambassadors of the Republic of China is arrogant. On this point, Shao Mingren, who has been working at the European embassy, knows this. After all, Europe is the core of the civilized world, and it is normal to look down on other countries.
At this time, Edel stated the main purpose of summoning Ambassador Shao this time.
"I heard that your country and other countries have plans to study abroad. I don't know if this plan can be extended to Romania. Our Romanian school is not worse than other countries at all, and we can also provide funds to help good students who travel across the oceans. People."
Yes, Edel is very interested in the current work-study program. I have already traveled to the famous work-study program in France. There is a joke in later generations: studying in the United States is an art writer, studying in Germany is an engineer and general, studying in France is a revolutionist. There are many famous people in later generations who have already traveled to the most famous work-study class. The long and unspeakable name alone will affect future generations for many years.
And this time Edel intends to advance his plan to study in Romania. This is not only to expand Romania's reputation in China, but also for his own prudent wish, who made him a Chinese in his previous life.
Shao Mingren was overjoyed when he heard that Edel planned to subsidize the plan to study in Romania. This is a tangible result. He did not expect that such a huge pie would fall on his head when he came to Romania, which not only increased his weight in the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, but also made him famous in China. In the future, every student studying in Romania, Who can't read his own good.
"I don't know, how many students does His Majesty the King plan to sponsor to study abroad every year?"
Facing Ambassador Shao’s question, Edel thought about it and replied: “I plan to subsidize 200 people’s study abroad program every year, and each international student will be given a living allowance of 840 lei per year.”
Don't think this amount is small. It takes at least three years to study abroad, and it usually starts in four years. One year of preparatory study language preparatory textbook, four years of university life. According to this plan, Edel needs to sponsor nearly one million dollars in annual expenses for living allowance alone. Before taking the road and domestic expenses into account, it is estimated that he will need at least 1.5 million dollars a year.
Therefore, the cost of studying abroad in this era is really very high. It is really not something ordinary people can afford. Even the government cannot afford to study abroad for too many people. This is also the reason why Edel has only started the study abroad program now. Before, Romania was poor and clanging, where did the money come to help others. Even if this country is the motherland of one's own past life.
So after hearing the number reported by Edel, His Excellency Ambassador Shao flushed with excitement. This is really a great contribution. Maybe he will be transferred back to the post of Deputy Minister of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs. But a word from Edel brought him back to reality.
"I intend to use this money to let Mr. Cai Yuanpei from your country take charge of enrollment work."
Edel intends to pay the money himself. As far as the current situation in the Republic of China is concerned, if it is handed over to others, it may be possible to produce some moths. Money touches people's hearts, he understands this truth. Mr. Cai is the most famous educator in the Republic of China, and Edel thinks that he will feel more at ease with the money.
Hearing that Edel did not intend to give the money directly to the Beijing government, Ambassador Shao certainly couldn't say anything. This is Romanian money after all, and he is afraid that the credit will be lost because of the jurisdiction over the funds. So he immediately said: "President Cai is of noble character, and he is responsible for taking care of the money. Our government is very relieved."
Then Ambassador Shao also suggested to Edel the proposal to establish a China-Romania Friendship Association, and Edel also agreed to this proposal to expand Romania’s reputation in China However, this funding is not as high as the plan for studying abroad. , The annual expenditure of one million lei. It is mainly to promote Romania's reputation in newspapers and radio stations, so as to lay a solid foundation for Romanian products to enter China in the future.
Afterwards, in an environment satisfied with the honor and guest, Ambassador Shao left the palace after saying goodbye to Edel, but he wanted to inform the country of the good news immediately.
Principal Cai, who learned of the great news from Tianda University, immediately recruited a group of students to be sent to Romania. In any case, this kind of study abroad program sponsored by foreign monarchs is also a huge surprise for the poor and white Republic of China. At the same time, the country of Romania has spread everywhere, and they have a very good impression of Edel, the monarch who sponsored studying abroad.
So in August, the first batch of Romanian students set off from Shanghai.
A 16-year-old short student with a strong Sichuan accent was also added because of Edel’s plan to study abroad. He himself was curious about this country, and planned to learn how to become a powerful country in Romania, which has grown from a weak to a strong one.
All this is what Edel did not expect.
