African Entrepreneurship Records

  Chapter 371 Business

   Cultural relics are one of the carriers of culture, and culture is the most lacking thing in emerging countries like East Africa, not to mention a country with a short history like the United States, even Russia.

  Russia’s history is not short, but it is very embarrassing. It will never get around the Mongol Empire and the Golden Horde, and has always been ridiculed by the Western world, and it will be expelled from Europe at any time.

Therefore, historical nihilism prevailed in Russia. The Tsarist Russia era denied Mongolia, the Soviet Union era denied Tsarist Russia, and Russia denied the Soviet Union. In this way, Russia will always wander between Europe and Asia, unable to find a sense of belonging to its own country. The entire Slavic nation is like this. If the Slavs If you can find your own cultural self-confidence, it must be the power that can change the world.

  The similarity between the Kingdom of East Africa and Russia lies in the fact that there are yellow and white races involved, and nearly half of the citizens of East Africa come from the Far East. Of course, Ernst would not deny this period of history, otherwise how to explain the origin of the yellow race in the Kingdom of East Africa, it is impossible to tell the descendants of East Africa that their ancestors jumped out of stones.

  At present, the complete Germanization of the East African Kingdom is a necessary means. In order to consolidate the regime, and the center of the world is indeed in Europe, East Africa needs to move closer to Europe, so that it can better participate in international affairs as a German country. Moreover, Germany is a cultural concept, and Germany does not necessarily have to be in Europe, just as the United States in the Americas does not prevent it from being an English-speaking country.

  So Ernst himself believes that the East African Kingdom is a country formed by the fusion of Germans and Chinese, so the East African Kingdom has reason to inherit the heritage of both cultures.

Therefore, Ernst's private collection will remain in East Africa in the future. This is a valuable cultural asset of the East African Kingdom. No one can deny the fact that the descendants of the East African Kingdom have Chinese blood, just like those Chinese in Nanyang, they are still descendants of Yan and Huang. .

Ernst also has another consideration in doing these things, that is, the history and culture of Germany itself is not deep enough. The concept of Germany is firstly due to the glorious history of the Holy Roman Empire in Europe, and secondly, it is due to Napoleon the Great who completely forced the whole of Germany into a kind of Cultural Identity.

  But how long has Shinra been? Even if it was pushed back to the Roman era, the ancestors of the Germans were nothing but a group of barbarians in the forest.

The history of Germany was blank before the Germans wiped out Rome, no different from the natives in Africa now. At this time, the Far Eastern civilization has entered its heyday, and the Far Eastern civilization and German history can be spliced ​​together. In the future, East Africans can also say I went up and down for five thousand years.

  The history of our ancestors is also the history of our own nation. East Africa is the natural successor of two civilizations. For such things, Ernst has no burden in his heart.

  …

   While Ernst was still dawdling in the Port of Trieste, Director of Immigration Thomas had already arrived in Haiti.

  The route from Europe to North America has a lot of ships, so there is no need to worry about insufficient flights.

  A group of white people disembarked in Port-au-Prince, which did not attract much attention. Port-au-Prince is the capital of the Republic of Haiti, the political, economic, and cultural center, and the largest port city.

In 1843, an earthquake destroyed Cap Haitien, the capital of Haiti, and Port-au-Prince was destroyed by fire. Therefore, the current Port-au-Prince has been renovated, but now Port-au-Prince obviously cannot be compared with the previous port. state.

  The current president of Haiti is Nissage Sage, who is also a troublemaker because he supported France in the Franco-Prussian War. This caused dissatisfaction with Germany, so Germany demanded a compensation of 3,000 pounds and sent two warships to Port-au-Prince to demonstrate. Haiti was forced to give Germany compensation. anger.

Haiti had had two presidents in three years before Nissage Sage. The first was Fabre Gevlar. Fabre Gevlar can be said to be the only "Ming Jun" in Haiti's history. It can even be said to be the president of Haiti who has never been seen before or since.

He did a lot of practical things during his reign, and it was recognized that Haiti had the best period of time during his reign. However, at the end of his reign, he went back to the old path, amended the constitution, raised his salary, and bought two planters for himself. parks, and added funding for the military and hospitals, as well as personal luxuries.

   In the later period of Geveral's administration, his subordinates tried several times to launch a military coup to overthrow his rule, but they all basically failed. But three years earlier, in 1867, he had been forced out of office by the rebel Sylvian Sarnav who tried to replace him and went into exile for eight years.

Sylvian Sarnaf is a complete fool. Not long after Sarnav became president, there was a rebellion in Haiti, and peasant uprisings continued. Saarnaf kept suppressing the opposition, amending the constitution, increasing own power, and made himself president for life, and was then overthrown.

   All in all, Haiti's history is a mess, and the current president, Nissare Sage, may fall at any time.

  But Thomas doesn't care, this kind of Haiti is what East Africa wants to see. According to the current situation in Haiti, Thomas believes that there is no need to spend wrong money on the Haitian president.

So after many inquiries, he found the Chelos family in Port-au-Prince, Haiti. The Chelos family is a local high-caste family, so they have good strength. The ruler in Haiti may be overthrown at any time. It is better to cooperate with such a deep-rooted family. Some.

  High caste, Thomas was also shocked when he heard about this system. Thomas thought that this system was patented by Indians. He didn’t expect Haiti to have it, but it doesn’t matter. As a democratic republic, Haiti has had several emperors, so it is a basic operation.

  The Chelos family is a high-caste family of black and white mixed blood. The elder Chelos of the previous generation was a meritorious minister who followed the father of the country to make contributions.

Old Chelos is different from other heroes. He is not very interested in the leadership of Haiti. He just wants to make money wholeheartedly. Therefore, the old Chelos has survived several generations of Haitian presidents and emperors. Before he took office as Haitian President Gevral The submarine leaders are all his former comrades-in-arms. Chelos Sr. died in 1863, and his eldest son, Chelos Jr., currently manages the family.

  In the manor of the Chelos family, Chelos Jr. received Thomas.

   "Hello, Patriarch Qielos! I heard your name when I first landed in Guibao Land. I heard that in Port-au-Prince, the Qielos family is the existence of promise."

   Little Chelos: "Sir, are you?"

  Thomas "I am a businessman from France, you can call me Medina."

  Thomas himself can speak multiple languages, which is one of the reasons why he can become the director of the East African Immigration Agency.

  France! Hearing the name of the former suzerain country, Chelos was vigilant, and Chelos felt that Thomas' French was a bit weird, but he didn't show it: "It turned out to be France, and my great-grandmother was French. I have studied in France, and I am very familiar with French. Where are you from France, why is your accent a little strange? And what is your business in finding our Chelos family?"

  Thomas: "It turns out that you are also half French. That's great. I'm from northeastern France, close to Belgium, so I have a Dutch accent."

   Little Chelos: "So that's how it is." It's no wonder that it should be similar to a dialect. Little Chelos' great-grandmother came from the south of France, and her spoken language is somewhat different from the Parisian she learned.

  Thomas continued: "I came here this time because I have a business that I hope your family can accept."

   Little Chelos: "I don't know what kind of business it is?"

  Thomas: "Slave!"

"Ahem..." Little Chelos was startled by Thomas' words, but he quickly adjusted, "This is not acceptable, Mr. Medina, the international community has already abolished the slave trade, if we Haiti participated in the slave trade , then Haiti will have a hard time.”

   Little Chelos even suspected that this was a conspiracy by the French, whether it was a specially set bait for fishing law enforcement.

Thomas: "Mr. Chelos, don't worry, I'm just a slave trader, and what I'm after is nothing more than the word profit. As long as the Chelos family gives my fleet some convenience and lands in Port-au-Prince, we will do the rest. It will be too involved with your family."

   Little Chelos tentatively said: "Mr. Thomas, you should be from the French government!"

When Thomas heard how he got in touch with the French government, he shook his head and said, "How is it possible, what is the state of France now, I believe you should have heard about it. Energy, we businessmen wish that England and France would be in chaos, so that business at sea would be easier to do.”

Little Chelos nodded, and what he said was true. France is quite chaotic now, so there is no time to take care of other countries. Besides, the slave trade was done by the French, and he can pretend to be ignorant. Anyway, the state of Haiti , and there is no order at all, and some slave traders based in Haiti also said in the past.

  However, if this is the case, I have to pay for it, so the little Chelos said: "If this is the case, that's okay, but the life of the Haitian is life, and our Chelos family requires a fee based on the head."

what? Pay per person! That price is sky-high! Who has the money to cooperate with you!

  Thomas said: "Charging by head is too much. We only do a one-time sale, and don't consider the quantity issue. At most, we pay annually."

Little Chelos: "Mr. Medina, as I said just now, the lives of Haitians matter, and there are not many Haitians. Isn't it appropriate to charge by head? Our family can also provide you with slave hunting services .”

  So that's the case. It seems that Little Chelos thinks that he wants to buy and sell Haitians as slaves, and he blames himself for not making it clear just now.

  Thomas: "Mr. Chelos, you misunderstood, we don't want Haitians."

   Little Chelos was a little puzzled and said: "If you don't want Haitians, how can you do the slave business! Can you find black people from other places!"

  Thomas: "You are right, our French colony is in Africa, so the source of goods is also from Africa."

  Little Chelos: "Then what are you doing in Haiti? Haiti is so poor, it is impossible to have money to buy black slaves!"

  Thomas: "Mr. Chelos, our market is the United States, and Haiti is a transit point, so you should understand!"

   Little Chelos: "Then what can Haiti provide for your slave trade? It would be more convenient to go directly to the United States!"

  Thomas: "It is necessary to consider market factors. It is impossible for us to find buyers directly. Instead, we need to slowly contact American customers, especially those planters, and let them select the goods."

   Little Chelos: "Then you mean, Haiti is dispensable in this ring?"

  Thomas: "Of course not. In fact, I have just entered the industry, so I don't know much about the US market."

  As soon as he heard that Thomas was a novice, Chelos immediately became interested: "Then can you guarantee to find a buyer?"

   Take the bait, Thomas has inquired about it before, the Chelos family is involved in the human trafficking, isn't this the way to go!

Thomas sighed: "Well, I have been active in the colonies before, and I only heard that the slave trade is more profitable, and there are not many other things in Africa, except that there are many black people, so I am also looking for ways to see if I can rely on the slave trade Get rich."

   Little Chelos: "Then you dare to do this business without finding a way!"

Thomas: "I was also fooled by my friend. He said that there is a connection in the United States, but there is no news in the past two months. I can only come from the colony to check it out, and then I found that Haiti is in a good location, just between America and Africa. Time, so I went ashore to have a look, and then found that the country is a bit chaotic, so I hope to find a powerful family as a partner."

  Little Chelos: "Then you found the Chelos family, Mr. Medina, I have to say, your luck is really good, we do have a way of making money, but I don't know how much you have?"

  Thomas's eyes lit up: "Really! That's really great. Among other things, we have a lot of goods. Even Haiti doesn't have as many goods as we do."

   Little Chelos: "That friend of yours is unreliable, why not do business with us directly, but there is one thing I want to explain in advance."

  Thomas: "Say it!"

Little Qielos: "Our Qielos family can eat as much as you have, and we have our own sales channels, so we can sell your products to the United States. However, it is impossible for our Qielos family to rely on white Help you, but the so-called multiple friends, multiple roads, I am willing to give you a chance, that is your goods, we can eat as much as you want, but we have to charge a commission, so a black slave’s money cannot be given You are too much."

  Thomas was overjoyed and said excitedly: "Mr. Chelos, what do you mean, we are partners in this business, but you want to take a share of the money earned by the sold slaves?"

   Little Chelos: "That's right."

  Thomas: "Deal!"

  The windfall is completely windfall. East Africa originally planned to make a loss-making business and send blacks to the United States. As a result, after talking with Little Chelos, not only did they not lose money, but they made a lot of money.

  However, Thomas still said cautiously: "Mr. Chelos, our supply of goods is in the millions. Can your family eat so much?"

  You want to evacuate the colony! Little Chelos said: "Several million sounds like a lot at first glance, but you need to be able to ship it to Haiti. I dare not say anything else. Even if we ship 10,000 people to Haiti every day, we can still send it to the United States, but it is only a small profit." It’s just overselling, it can be sold in a few hundred days.”

  That is of course impossible. If there was such capacity, East Africa would not have spent so many years immigrating millions of people to East Africa.

  Thomas: "Well, we can still do it with thousands of people per month. After making money, we can buy more ships and transport more people over."

   Little Chelos: "Aren't you afraid of being raided by the British and French navies!"

  Thomas: "Mr. Chelos, it's up to you!"

   Little Chelos: "Look at me?"

  Thomas: "What if these people are not slaves, but Haitians?"

   Little Chelos turned his head quickly, and instantly understood Thomas' intention: "You mean to decorate your black slaves as Haitians? That's a good idea."

   Little Chelos's own business is similar to this, but it is conducted in the form of a labor service company, so he instantly understood the meaning of "Medina", and the two have the same effect.

  Thomas: "But the matter of Haitian identity will trouble you more."

   Little Chelos: "Identity! What identity do Haitians want."

  Thomas: "You don't have passports or anything!"

   Little Chelos: "We really don't have that thing, but you can have it if you need it."

  Haiti doesn't even have a passport! But think about it, Haiti became independent from France early, and it failed to catch up. Thomas: "Then trouble you to issue some certificates and the like, so that we can also ensure the stability of the supply."

   Little Chelos: "No problem, the proof is just a piece of waste paper, I can entrust the presidential palace to complete it."

  Thomas: "Then please."
