Chapter VIII Chinese Ambassador to France

PS: Thank you Mr. Andy for your vote. This should be what Andy meant! A gift from a small character, I hope you will be satisfied. In addition, I hope to support this book. The voting brothers left their names in the book review area (preferably the name of the character). The only thing I can do is leave your traces in the book and encourage you!

On June 8, Andy, who was carrying Joseph's mission, came to Paris and came to the Chinese Embassy in France early the next morning to ask for a meeting with Ambassador Zhang Jianjun.

Zhang Jianjun, the Chinese ambassador to France, who received this news, was a little puzzled. He was not unclear about Nord's country. It is normal for some people in China to not know such a small country. However, as Zhang Jianjun, who has lived in France for more than 20 years, Nord's relationship with France makes it impossible for him to have a little understanding of this country. Moreover, the Principality of Nord has been controversial internationally due to its European revival plan.

Of course, not be able to guess the meaning of Andy's arrival did not affect his meeting with Andy. At this time, under the suggestion of the United States, Western countries are implementing blockades on the East, especially China. Whether it is international influence or from a purely political perspective, China cannot ignore any Western country that may have a good impression of China, even if this country is just a small country with a population of only a few thousand people and a territory of only a hundred kilometers.

China is a great power, and no one can argue about this. Even if it is a somewhat barbaric and backward country in the eyes of European and American citizens, if there is no threat, the United States and Western parliaments are so nervous and so afraid of the rise of that ancient country?

Therefore, no matter from any aspect, Zhang Jianjun, as the Chinese ambassador to France, far surpassed Andy and even Joseph himself in terms of identity, status, and influence. But even in this case, Zhang Jianjun still maintained the traditional Chinese modesty and friendship, and warmly welcomed Andy, a young man who did not even have an official position.

"You are Foreign Minister James' son?"

When Zhang Jianjun learned of this news, he valued Andy a little more. James was not the Foreign Minister of the Principal of Nord who had just arrived in the United States. The media's public opinion has made Joseph and James famous all over the world. Citizens from all over the world may not know the Prime Minister of the Principal of Nord, but I believe no one does not know the name James.

"Yes, Mr. Ambassador, this is the letter His Highness asked me to give you."

Andy did not show pride, happy and other emotions because of this sentence. He was still calm and respectful. After handing over the letter Joseph wrote to Zhang Jianjun, he picked up the teacup and took a sip. Yes, the faint bitterness is mixed with the fragrance. This should be what Your Highness said about Luzhou Yunwu!

Zhang Jianjun had no intention of knowing Andy's thoughts. He did not hesitate to open it after receiving Joseph's letter. In just a few lines of words, Zhang Jianjun, who was known for his calmness, could no longer maintain his previous calmness.

"Dear Ambassador, if I am willing to sell a batch of industrial equipment, I wonder if your country is willing to purchase 50% at international prices?"

Joseph was not a saint. He did have some special feelings for that ancient country, but this feeling could not affect his identity as the ruler of the Principal of Nord at this time. Moreover, selling this batch of precision equipment to China was also quite risky for the Principal of Nord and even himself, not much.

Zhang Jianjun was naturally clear about the United States' European revival plan, and he could guess that the machinery in Joseph's mouth was part of this aid. Of course, he did not know that all the things Joseph wanted to sell to him were not part of his guess.

What is most lacking in China? As a member of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs, he is naturally very clear about it. After all, it is one of his responsibilities to help the country get these things back. Now the opportunity is in front of him. Zhang Jianjun has no reason to remain calm anymore.

"Andy, this matter..."

"Sorry, Mr. Ambassador, this is the letter written to you by His Highness. Only you and him know the contents of it. If you have told Your Highness, please write it on paper and I will forward it to His Highness Joseph."

He was slightly stunned, and soon Zhang Jianjun understood Joseph's caution, nodded and thought to himself: It's good, if the United States finds that the loss is not the Principality of Nord but itself.

"I only have one sentence, please tell His Highness Andy that I remember Novartis' friendship. In addition, I heard that His Highness Joseph has Chinese descent and loves delicious food. I have a chef here who can lend it to His Highness temporarily."

Andy naturally understood who the chef was, but he did not refuse. This was the best way to save him from frequent visits to the embassy and was discovered by some people with ulterior motives. In fact, from the beginning, Andy refused to contact China. He did not know the content of the letter, but as a member of European countries and maintaining good relations with the United States, the Principality of Nord itself should not contact China.

Having good relations with the United States was guessed from the aid of the Revival Plan. If Andy knew the specific situation, he would not think so again. Of course, even if he believed that he would still reject contact with China. After all, the Principality of Nord is still in Europe. After all, he did not know the position that China occupied internationally twenty years later.

After expressing his gratitude, Andy said goodbye and left. Looking at his back, Zhang Jianjun couldn't help but fall into deep thought. At the same time, he ordered to continue to understand the Principality of Nord.

Joseph naturally didn't know about the French affairs. After being busy for a while, he rarely watched the North City area. Some media close to the country had arrived. The beautiful garden-style town made this group of media personnel constantly express their praise. The only disadvantage may be that there are too few entertainment projects.

There is a fruit tree every not far from both sides of the street. Summer has arrived and the intoxicating fragrance of flowers spreads throughout the city. Joseph has issued an order that passers-by should not destroy trees at will. Violators will be fined $50-$200. The specific amount depends on the situation.

The fruit tree is often accompanied by a bench, which passers-by can pick if they are thirsty or when they are resting, but the Principality of Nord does not allow waste. Once picked, they must be eaten up, otherwise they will face a fine.

While Joseph was working hard to build the Principality of Nord and strengthen the citizens of Nord, he did not forget to pay attention to moral aspects. Joseph could allow petty theft in his country, but he did not allow morally degraded people to appear. Unfortunately, it is not the time yet, otherwise a treaty and laws that Joseph had planned for a long time would be presented to Nord citizens.

The large amount of war reparations not only allowed Nord citizens to improve their lives a higher level. Although most of the gifts given by France were physical objects rather than money, even so Joseph was already very satisfied.

Originally, Ragner II left only enough for Nord's citizens to live for two years, but with the arrival of a large number of physical objects in France, Joseph could not even invest a penny at this time to allow Nord's citizens to live for seven or eight years. However, Joseph was not prepared to let his citizens live so urgently.

A citizen of Nord can receive ten redemption rolls, two kilograms of beef, one kilogram of pork and several flour every week, and each redemption coupon is worth $5. These redemption coupons are used to go to the store to buy clothes and daily necessities.

At this time, the second block (commercial street) was not just the few stores that Joseph built with the system. In addition, a small supermarket was quietly established one night because of the fact that the voucher was redeemed, and the supermarket was temporarily under Nord Royal Group.

Never underestimate human ability to create the economy. There are more than 20 stores in the second block today. Except for small supermarkets, all the rest are opened by Nord citizens themselves. However, due to national conditions and shortage of materials, most of these stores are very simple.

The store buildings in the second block have been sold out. Joseph sat on the bench on the side of the commercial street. He saw not only stores, but also the development of Nord's economy, but there is still a small opportunity to achieve real development.
