Dar.

Today, the whole of Dar es Salaam is as lively as ever, although most ships choose to go directly to the Far East from the Suez Canal, posing a serious challenge to the strategic position of the East African coast.

But the Suez Canal also shortened the distance Europe had reached the coast of East Africa, and the ships of the Hauhingen Ocean Trading Company had been launched, allowing the East African coastal waterway to continue to flourish.

With the help of the five fulcrums of the Far East, the Middle East, the Mediterranean, Central and Eastern Europe, and East Africa, the Hexingen Ocean Trading Company has developed into the world's leading shipping company.

The four major businesses of grain, industrial raw materials, industrial products and immigration have supported the Hexingen Ocean Trading Company to become the largest shipping company in Germany and even in the world, with four independent large shipyards (including the Trieste shipyard, the Hamburg shipyard, the Venetian shipyard, and the Bagamoyo shipyard that has just been put into operation), and its 73 ocean-going ships and 254 sailing ships, which exceeds most countries in terms of tonnage alone.

Although the Heshingen Ocean Trading Company should be split into two parts, one for Germany and one for Austria, the real target audience is East Africa.

The field of civil ships in East Africa is basically zero, so the Heixingen royal family is a large monopoly organization with advanced development.

The vast majority of the world's monopolies have just taken shape, such as the Standard Oil Company of the United States, which was established last year, and the complete outbreak was after the economic crisis of 1873, and the Hexingen consortium has become the most unique existence at present because of its monopoly on East Africa and its monopoly on trade with the Far East in Germany.

In fact, the Heixingen Consortium has another predecessor, that is, the British East India Company, which is more similar to the Heixingen Consortium, but the Heixingen Consortium is more comprehensive.

From its inception to the present day, the Hexingen Ocean Trading Company has not actually made much money, and sometimes even lost money, on the one hand, it has continuously invested in shipbuilding and purchasing ships, and on the other hand, it has often operated at a loss because of the needs of immigrants from East Africa.

However, there is no doubt that the Kingdom of East Africa would not exist today without the Hexingen Ocean Trading Company, and even East Africa could become a German business leader in the Far East because of the Hexingen Ocean Trading Company.

A large number of German businessmen connected with the government of the Far East through the Heshingen Ocean Trading Company, and German capital developed rapidly in the Far Northeast.

After all, the Heixingen consortium still has an East African mainland to develop, and its main focus is also on East Africa, and the Far East market will fall sooner or later, so it is better to control the market by its own people.

Among them, Austrian businessmen are the most active, thinking of this Ernst is angry, when they were asked to invest in East Africa, one by one buckle search, the North Industrial Belt invested in a few small factories, mainly distributed in Mombasa, only one medium-sized textile enterprise settled in Nairobi, East Africa fantasy by Austria to drive the North Industrial Belt plan basically exists in name only, and finally took over the Heixingen consortium itself.

But their attitude towards the Far East immediately changed, and everyone knew that the Far East was a good place, but the Austrian government did not have the ability, energy and willingness to support the development of its own merchants in the Far East.

So when East Africa gained a foothold in the Far East, many Austrian businessmen gathered around the Hexingen Foundation, and when they needed official support, they would first choose the East African embassy, after all, their own minister stayed in Japan, and he could not even see his shadow.

The same is true of the Germans, who, although attached great importance to the Far East, had too few interests in the Far East to compete with Britain, France, the United States, and even the Netherlands.

In the Far East, many Germans were the former northern states of Germany, and their forces were dispersed, that is, now that Germany is united, they can be regarded as a whole.

This is also the reason why the Heixingen consortium has become a business leader of the three countries in the Far East, and the foreign capital injected into the Huaihai Economic Zone is also jointly funded by the business groups of the three countries.

The actual proportion of the Heixingen consortium is less than 20 percent, of which the Far East government and its non-governmental groups account for 40 percent, and the rest is divided by Austria and Germany, about 45 percent, and Austrian businessmen alone account for more than 30 percent, making it the largest investment group in the Huaihai Economic Zone.

Under the Westernization Movement, the Far Eastern government also actively invested in government-owned enterprises, but it was basically concentrated along the Yangtze River and the southeast coastal areas, while the north had to build a "Huaihai Economic Zone" under the pressure of the East African Kingdom.

In fact, the best conditions in the north are the Zhili region, which has more advantages in economy, population, and transportation than the Huaihai Economic Zone, but Wangji is a major land, and now it is impossible for even Britain and France to squeeze in.

……

With the completion of urban renovation, the whole city of Dar es Salaam has a new look, although due to the change of the world's main shipping lane, many merchant ships no longer pass through Dar es Salaam, but because of the inertia of consumption, some sailors and businessmen who are active along the coast of the Indian Ocean will still choose to spend in Dar es Salaam, and even call friends to arrive in Dar es Salaam City for consumption.

In addition to the beautiful environment, the most important infrastructure is the most complete, Dar es Salaam casino has won the unanimous applause of gamblers with a fair and just reputation, where gambling money can avoid being hacked, and at the same time, because of the responsible attitude of the police department, to ensure the personal safety of the vast majority of winners.

Personal needs can also be greatly satisfied, Japanese dance halls, foot-washing towns, abound, as for the formal is not easy to say.

The only drawback is that no psychotropic contraband is sold, but sailors can carry it on their own, as long as it is within the boundaries of the commercial area (formerly the open area) and does not spread to East Africans, then no one cares.

There was a saying in the previous life: "The most profitable profession is written in the constitution." "Dar es Salaam has two of the most lucrative businesses at once.

In addition to the above, the barber industry in Dar es Salaam is one of the best in the Indian Ocean, and after Ernst's awakening, he felt the backwardness of the barber industry in Europe, so he specially developed a manual haircut clipper, which is also the only two patents registered by Ernst himself (Geely shaver).

In East Africa, migrants who have landed are cleaned and disinfected every day, including hair care.

Therefore, the experience of barbers in East Africa, coupled with the blessing of advanced tools, makes the barber industry in Dar es Salaam and Mombasa very developed. And sailors in the Indian Ocean, every time they come to East Africa to spend, they go to the barber shop to get their hair and beards done.

The barber of Dar es Salaam has become recognized as a world-class Tony teacher for Indian Ocean sailors, with a degree of professionalism far exceeding that of Europe and the United States.

At the same time, Dar es Salaam is also the commodity capital of the Indian Ocean coast, where a wide range of goods are gathered, including food, clothing, housing and transportation.

People from the surrounding regions and countries, such as the French colony of Madagascar, the British colony of Cape Town, the Portuguese colony of Mozambique and the Sultanate of Zanzibar, choose to shop in Dar es Salaam or Mombasa.

Dar es Salaam's dining and hostel services are among the best along the entire Indian Ocean coast.

Bringing together Eastern and Western cuisine, all-European style architecture, complete and top-of-the-line living environment, and elegant service, it has attracted many wealthy Arab businessmen and colonial dignitaries to gather here.

The tavern is also one of the most popular venues in Dar es Salaam, with white wine, rice wine, red wine, and banana beer, which is an East African specialty. Dar es Salaam's liquor includes vodka from the cold zone, Fenjiu from the East, Huadiao liquor (daughter red, champion red), brandy and whiskey...... Austrian and South German brands are the main wines, while there is a smaller variety of beers.

With a wide range of wine and pubs, Dar es Salaam is a veritable wine capital on the Indian Ocean coast.

However, this has also increased the frequency of police dispatches in East Africa, and the workload of East African health guards, and the presence of drunkards and bottles and barrels are also characteristic of Dar es Salaam.

The quality of tourists who come to Dar es Salaam is generally low, and the garbage ponds everywhere are not cared for, and garbage such as fruit peels and wine bottles are thrown on the streets.

Because it is a foreign business area, the East African government is not easy to forcibly stop it, after all, they are all here to contribute to the East African economy, as long as they are willing to spend money, it is "master", so they can only work hard for health security personnel.

Fortunately, along the coast of Dar es Salaam, the roads are paved straight with large stone slabs, and there is a well-developed drainage system on both sides of the road, and if it rains heavily, stains and dust will flow down the drainage system into the sea.

So there is no smell left on the streets, fresh air is the norm, and the city is green, even if the quality of tourists is low, Dar es Salaam is still a garden city on the Indian Ocean coast.

In addition to these, Dar es Salaam is also a communications center on the Indian Ocean coast, mainly serving Europeans in the western Indian Ocean, where the telegraph can be used to get in touch with European families faster and cheaper.

The most outrageous thing is that the colonies of Mozambique also communicated with the Portuguese mainland through the telegraph system in East Africa, although the telegraph fee was very expensive, but it was still much cheaper and more convenient than relying on sea ships to communicate.

These are just a few of the many advantages of Dar es Salaam, such as the fact that it is also a financial, trade and shipping center on the coast of the Indian Ocean......

The combination of these conditions makes Dar es Salaam, with a permanent population of just over 80,000, the most developed city on the Indian Ocean coast.

The city of Dar es Salaam has become the most developed city on the coast of the Indian Ocean, which is inseparable from its geographical advantages.

For example, Dar es Salaam's main competitor is Mombasa, compared to Mombasa, Dar es Salaam is on the other side of the Sultanate of Zanzibar, Arab merchants are relatively wealthy, outstanding spending power, and the European colonies south of the Kingdom of East Africa are also closest to Dar es Salaam, and their consumption is also concentrated in Dar es Salaam.

Dar es Salaam is arguably the only world commercial city in the whole of sub-Saharan Africa, and it is also the fiscal and tax center of the East African government.
