August 19, 1868.
In Berlin, the Heixinggen Consortium reached agreements with several German research or academic institutions,
to provide funding and experimental land for establishing a research institute dedicated to studying local agricultural crops and tropical plants in East Africa—the East African Agricultural Research Institute.
"Pleasure to collaborate with you, Professor Anton Peruz!" Ernst raised his glass towards Anton Peruz.
Anton Peruz downed his drink and said, "All for Germany!"
As a tropical agriculture expert in the German region, Anton Peruz had a pretty difficult time before accepting the invitation from the Heixinggen Consortium.
While colleagues from other countries traveled the world, with their own experimental fields and ample funding, Anton Peruz could only conduct his scientific research in a small laboratory in Germany.
