African Entrepreneurship Records

  Chapter 291 "Stealing the Country"

  Walonga Province, East Africa,

   "Oh, Morris, look, there is a snake in the tree ahead." An East African soldier shouted.

   "Boll, you've been bitten! It's hopeless! Pull it down and bury it."

   "Morris, you bastard, that's not how you joke. I'm just repeating the facts." Bohr yelled at his comrades.

   "Okay, stop arguing, where is the snake?" asked the monitor.

   "Squad leader, look at the branch under the tree on the left front. My eyesight is top-notch. I can see this green guy hiding under the leaves at a glance."

  Following the direction Bohr said, he saw the appearance of the snake clearly. The squad leader put the bayonet on the gun, lifted the end of the gun and picked it up lightly. A green African tree snake fell from above to the ground, and the frightened African tree snake disappeared from everyone's eyes in a blink of an eye.

   "It's a good thing it's not a Mamba, otherwise it would be a little troublesome to solve it." The squad leader said.

  The African tree snake is a venomous snake with venomous teeth. Its detoxification rate is low, and the poison injection efficiency is not good, so it is less dangerous. Of course, since it is a poisonous snake, East African soldiers still choose to be cautious when dealing with it.

  As for the mamba snake, it is a common poisonous snake in East Africa, and the black mamba is the most famous, but the black mamba usually lives on the grass.

  The reason why East African fighters are afraid of the black mamba is not because of the toxicity of the black mamba, but because the black mamba is too aggressive.

  Other African snakes will not take the initiative to attack people if they are not provoked. The black mamba is the kind that chases and bites people, and catching a black mamba in East Africa requires great skill.

  As for toxicity, the fatality rate of venomous snakes in this era is very high. If you are bitten, you are basically resigned to fate.

  East Africa is not without action. In Mombasa, venomous snake researchers and biologists have been hired, and a research institute has been established to study the antivenom of black mambas, puff-bellied vipers and other African venomous snakes.

  …

   Hechingen, Hohenzollernburg.

   "Your Highness, why don't we directly import medical talents from Europe, but from the East instead. I heard them say that Eastern medical skills are more like medieval witch doctors."

  Tom doesn't understand Ernst's recent introduction of medical talents from the East. It's not that Tom is opposed to it, but that this project costs money. Since it costs money, he must be cautious, but Ernst's ideas are sometimes unconstrained, so Tom feels it's better to be sure.

  In fact, East Africa also acquired medical knowledge from all over the world before, but it didn’t cost much, and it was all for nothing. This time Ernst wanted to spend a lot of money to recruit medical talents, books, and effective prescriptions from the Far East.

   "Tom, the reason is very simple. It is not ruled out in the East that some people use the banner of Chinese medicine to bluff and deceive, but more of them have been systematically passed down for more than 3,000 years. He has passed the test for a longer period of time than Europe, and the Eastern people have more historical records in terms of culture. Most of our parchment scrolls are used to record the Bible."

  Oriental medicine must have existed for more than this short time, but Ernst has his own judgment. The time when a large number of practical documents in the Far East appeared was in the Spring and Autumn Period and the Warring States Period, which was recorded and disseminated in the form of bamboo slips.

  Falseness may exist, of course, but more effects are experimented on that land, and if there is no effect, it will be eliminated long ago.

  The decline of oriental medicine was actually before the Ming Dynasty. In the Ming Dynasty, medicine had begun to enter the stage of conformity. It was not until the Western Industrial Revolution developed to a certain stage, that is, during this period, that modern medicine emerged.

  It was during Ernst’s time period that chemistry and biology had begun to exert their strength, preparing to kick off the throne of traditional medicine.

  But Ernst is afraid to try the current European medicine. You will never know whether what they develop is poison or antidote, especially various drugs are often used as "panacea".

   "However, Your Highness, how can you ensure that the person we summoned from the Far East is not a liar? We don't know much about Eastern medicine." Tom asked curiously.

   "This matter is simple. We just need their government to provide us with convenience. Let Ambassador Richard discuss this matter with their top leaders in person. With official endorsement, I believe this matter will be simpler. It is best to communicate with their Tai Hospital. Also, let our people obtain their medical prescriptions and related books in the Far East, North Korea, Japan, and Vietnam."

  With official cooperation, at least a large number of cheaters can be screened out.

   Ernst’s small abacus was cracking. His purpose of doing this was to steal its medical formula from countries in the Far East, and then apply for a patent in the West. Ernst would rather let East Africa eat this meal than Japan and South Korea.

  Anyway, East Africa is an immigrant country. In theory, the achievements of the ancestors of the Far East immigrants are also the achievements of the ancestors of East Africans. What is yours is mine, and what is mine is still mine. In this regard, there is no need to feel guilty. We all know that East Africa has a short history, and East Africa will not brazenly register historical naming rights.

   Ernst went on to say: "This time the Far East medical introduction plan, one more thing to pay attention to, those quack doctors who use opium to cure all diseases must be vigilant, and don't let them sneak into East Africa."

   "Your Highness, the biggest problem with this work is that our people don't know much about oriental medicine." Tom said.

   "So we have to start more from the authorities and have our own judgments. It doesn't matter if there are some mistakes. When East African medicine develops in the future, we can filter the collected wealth to the right ones." Ernst said.

   This is like a game with high magnification. If you can find a top-level prescription like XX Baiyao, you will earn blood. It doesn’t matter if you can’t find it.

  Of course, Ernst will also invest in modern medical research in the future. As for now, we will start with traditional medicine.

  So East Africa can only promote traditional medicine on a large scale at present, and traditional medicine Ernst chooses to believe in oriental medicine. As for modern medicine in East Africa, the education system has not yet developed, so there is no way to develop it, or it is better to develop in Europe. After all, Europe needs talents, technology and technology, and the most complete equipment.

  Ernst vigorously promoted oriental medicine in the early stage of East Africa and preempted its traditional medicine patents, so that the Far East countries later privately gave East Africa the name of "stealing the country".

  Of course East Africans will not agree, especially the "old Chinese medicine practitioners" in East Africa, who have repeatedly emphasized that this is the fruit of our oriental ancestors, and East Africa has the right to inherit it.
