After some time, a company called Romanov was registered and established in East Africa. Alexei and his wife directly used the name of the Tsarist family for the company, focusing on the three major fields of clothing, perfume, and jewelry.
The jewelry industry was relatively popular in East Africa. Diamonds, tanzanite, jadeite, opal, chrysoprase, turquoise, jade, and so on—Africa itself possessed exceptionally favorable natural endowments in the field of gemstones.
Among all the continents in the world, Asia and Africa were widely recognized as having the finest gemstone resources, and many of Africa's gemstone-producing regions happened to be concentrated within East Africa.
In his previous life, Zambia, Tanzania, Madagascar, Zimbabwe, and South Africa had all been important gemstone-producing regions.
At the same time, East Africa was a country where Chinese and Western cultures blended together, making it more inclusive in the jewelry industry. Take jade artifacts, typical objects of Eastern culture—they also had quite a market in East Africa.
With the Russian Royal Family as its banner, the Romanov brand naturally enjoyed smooth sailing, eventually becoming one of East Africa's representative enterprises in the luxury goods sector.
The East African government naturally gave this newly established enterprise vigorous support, because East Africa, as one of the youngest countries in the world, inherently lacked historical and cultural foundations.
This left East Africa extremely weak in competitiveness for high-end cultural goods. Although Romanov had originated from the former Russia, it had opened up a new track for East Africa and created jobs and tax revenue for East African society.
