With $1.5bn of Chinese money burning a hole in his pocket, Rafał Andrzejewski is in a hurry.
拉法乌•安杰耶夫斯基(Rafał Andrzejewski)腰包里有15亿美元的中国资金着急花出去，他真的很急。
From Tallinn in the north to Tirana in the south, the investment director of CEE Equity Partners is racing to find opportunities across central and eastern Europe to spend his Chinese backer’s cash.
从北面的塔林到南面的地拉那，这位CEE Equity Partners的投资总监正急着在整个中东欧寻找机会，花掉中国投资者给他的资金。
Successful in Africa but lagging behind rivals including the South Koreans in Europe, Chinese investors are hungry for major assets and projects. Mr Andrzejewski finds himself at the vanguard of a shopping spree in the continent’s emerging east.
中国投资者在非洲获得成功，但在欧洲的投资成绩却落后于包括韩国人在内的竞争对手。中国投资者渴望收购重要资产和投资重大项目。欧洲大陆崛起中的东部地区正在上演一股抢购潮，安杰耶夫斯基发觉自己正排在抢购队伍的前排。
“This is, if you would, a fund of goodwill to begin with. To show that the Chinese, when they invest, they do good things,” he says. “We are at the forefront, perhaps, of a larger investment stream in the region.”
他说：“可以说，这首先是支用来展示善意的基金。目的是证明当中国人投资时，他们是在做有益的事。在本地区的投资大潮中，我们或许正站在最前沿。”
Although Chinese investment in Europe has risen dramatically, it is still dwarfed by major funders such as the US. It is also behind Asian rivals such as Japan and South Korea, which have already built significant investment partnerships with eastern Europe.
尽管中国在欧投资急剧上升，但它与美国等对欧主要投资国相比仍相形见绌。中国还落后于日本、韩国等亚洲竞争对手，这些国家已与东欧建立起了重要的投资伙伴关系。
