African Entrepreneurship Record

The Huai cuisine that Pruss Wang mentioned, that is, Huai'an cuisine, is actually an important part of Huaiyang cuisine in the previous life. In fact, the history of the formation of the four major cuisines in the Far East is not long. Of course, this is relative to the long history of the Far East Empire. After all, the four major cuisines were formed in the Qing Dynasty.

Huai'an cuisine occupies an important position in the domestic cuisine of East Africa. The main reason is that there were many Huai'an immigrants introduced by the Far East Empire. The immigrants of East Africa in the Far East Empire were mainly centered in the Huaihai area. The name alone shows that Huai'an is inseparable from the Huaihai area. Pruss Wang's father was from Huai'an Prefecture, and Pruss Wang was actually a native East African.

In response to the master's teaching, Anka nodded and agreed: "I will definitely not embarrass the master. Although my cooking skills are not good, they are enough. After all, from the beginning, I did not intend to get involved in the high-end market, but started with the needs of ordinary people. This cooking skill is enough."

Pruss Wang: "It's good that you have such an understanding. In fact, your cooking skills are not too bad, but it is not good enough in a place like Berlin Hotel where there are many hidden talents. So it may be more suitable for you to venture out..."

A week later, Anka's small restaurant was successfully registered. His restaurant is not far from the Provincial Hemp Spinning Factory No. 2. This is actually his parents' residence. When they heard that their son wanted to open a store, Anka's parents actually disagreed. However, Anka insisted on doing it, so Anka's parents could only "support" him. As a worker in the hemp spinning factory, his mother could also help promote it, and his parents could also help after get off work.

…

In Harare, there are many people who share the same idea as Anka. For a time, there are a lot of photo studios, tailor shops, restaurants, and hotels in Harare. Some people with financial ability even set up small factories of considerable scale.

Harare is just a microcosm of many cities in East Africa. The economic reform of the East African government this time involves many areas in the mainland. For a time, the private economy has rapidly risen in East Africa.

The characteristics of these private enterprises are small scale and large number. Some even have no employees. The boss holds multiple positions and is actually a self-employed person.

Accompanying this is the expansion of management departments such as the East African Tax Bureau, Police Bureau, and Fire Department, mainly to cope with the social unrest that may be caused by the lack of management in the previous economic transformation.

Ernst emphasized to government officials at the economic conference: "Reforms must be carried out step by step. Liberalization does not mean disorder. Of course, the early policies should also be relaxed. As long as it is not too extreme, you can turn a blind eye, but turning a blind eye does not mean inaction. We must summarize experience and lessons and standardize step by step in the future."

"It is our bottom line that there will be no large-scale criminal activities. If someone takes advantage of legal loopholes, record the account first and patch it up next time."

Ernst is very clear that the new economic policy in East Africa at this stage will inevitably give some speculators an opportunity to take advantage of it, but there is no way to do it.

The Soviet Union and the Far East Empire in the past will encounter similar situations, but the Soviet Union and the Far East Empire made different choices, which led to two results, but the early economic reforms of both can be described as the collapse of social order.

At this point, it is almost inevitable, so Ernst does not have high expectations for the East African government. As long as it maintains general stability, it can be sorted out slowly in the future.

After all, East Africa is different from the Soviet Union or the Far East Empire in the past. There is no interference from external forces in East Africa, so the East African government has plenty of time to slowly adapt to social changes.

Today, the world pattern is diversified. European and American countries are busy with their own affairs, and other countries are even less likely to provoke a big country like East Africa. Therefore, the external conditions for the implementation of the new economic policy in East Africa are far better than those of the Soviet Union and the Far East Empire in the past.

Ernst said: "State-owned enterprises must also be prepared. Since some markets have been opened up, some of the original economic fields will no longer form a monopoly. At the same time, they will face competition from private enterprises. Therefore, some state-owned enterprises will also have to make reforms to adapt to the market, especially some non-key industries."

Non-key industries are key industries that are not related to the lifeline of the national economy. Although the new economic policy is implemented, the dominant position of East African state-owned enterprises and collective enterprises in the East African economy cannot be replaced at all.

"The State Planning Commission must also make corresponding adjustments. For non-planned economic entities, they can also be guided in the form of policies to promote the healthy and reasonable development of our country's industries. This does not reduce the authority, but puts higher demands on our capabilities and qualities."

The planned economy in the previous life did not actually disappear in the Far East Empire, but it had an impact on the country's economic development in other forms, but it went through a long period of exploration and adjustment.

The same is true for East Africa. This new economic policy is actually paving the way for the exploration of East Africa's economic development model in the future, and it also means that the East African economy has begun to transform again.

This kind of transformation is actually relatively unfamiliar to the East African government, including Ernst, but Ernst has experience in his previous life, so he is still confident in the realization of the new economic policy.

If the economic system really becomes rigid, it will not be easy for East Africa to turn around, and East Africa will only repeat the mistakes of the Soviet Union in the previous life.

Moreover, Ernst chose a relatively good time to carry out economic reforms in East Africa. During this period, the smoke of war had already begun to be faintly revealed over Europe. Ernst could not confirm other places, but it was certain that the actions of the Balkan countries against the Ottoman Empire had begun in full swing.

So starting from next year, the attention of European countries will be focused on the Balkan Peninsula, and when the war in the Balkan Peninsula ends, the full-scale war in Europe is probably not far away.

So in the next five or six years, no matter how the East African government struggles domestically, it will not attract interference from external forces, which will greatly ease the pressure on East Africa to implement new economic policies.

Moreover, the outbreak of the European war is bound to cause prosperity in the international market, which is also beneficial to the development of East Africa's new economic policy. After all, economic development can cover up many problems. If the European war breaks out, East Africa's domestic economic reforms, whether good or bad, can be compensated from the international market and will not delay East Africa's economic development.

So the next few years will be an important opportunity period for East Africa's economic development. If the full-scale war in Europe develops like in the previous life, East Africa will not have to worry about economic problems for at least ten years.

Even if the European war ends, European reconstruction in a short period of time can continue to maintain the hotness of the international market. After the boom of the war economy is over, it will not be too late for East Africa to make corresponding adjustments.

At this stage, Ernst is most worried about the implementation of the new economic policy in China, which may cause domestic social order unrest, so East Africa will expand the power of administrative departments such as the police to crack down on illegal and criminal activities with bad behavior and influence.

…

With the advancement of the new economic policy, it has indeed caused great trouble to the management of East African countries. People die for money and birds die for food. After the economic market was liberalized, illegal and criminal activities did break out in a short period of time as the East African government had predicted.

This is mainly due to institutional and legal deficiencies. East Africa lacks experience in market economic governance, so there are many mistakes, but overall it is still within the controllable range.

With the advancement of the new economic policy, the benefits are also obvious. First of all, the urban population is growing faster, and flexible employment allows more rural people to work in cities. Although there is no establishment, there is no problem in supporting themselves. At the same time, the types of goods on the market have increased significantly. Although they are mostly small workshop goods, the lack of supervision has also caused uneven quality, but it is undeniable that the types of goods have indeed increased, and the quality of goods is good and bad, which cannot be generalized.

Finally, under the new economic policy in East Africa, Austria, Germany, France, the United States, Britain and other countries have significantly increased their investment in East Africa, which has greatly alleviated the financial pressure on the East African government. Among them, British investment has rapidly increased as the relationship between the two countries has been reconciled, making it one of the important sources of foreign investment.
