Since Nord noticed that his health had declined sharply, he had begun to adjust the family business. Many companies that were originally controlled have transferred a large amount of equity, or even relinquished a controlling stake, and only retained a part of the shares.

Some companies that are not high-quality have also been sold by him. And those sensitive enterprises were sold by him.

Today's Jean Nord family hides their assets in various large family businesses and only retains a part of the shares. And as long as there are people who support and restrain each other, the safety of these shares is far greater than that of antiques and real estate cash.

In this way, his autistic Noble and Melissa, who is only seven years old this year, are much more likely to inherit his shares.

Because he has transferred a lot of shares in recent years, he still has a lot of cash in his hand, and when he heard that Zhou Nan needed a loan, he immediately expressed his willingness to lend Zhou Nan two million Swiss francs without interest.

Although Yannick listened to Zhou Nan's introduction to Jean Nord and knew that he was Zhou Nan's current political ally, he didn't expect that Jean Nord would be able to do this.

This is no longer something that a simple ally can do, but he doesn't know what secret agreement there is between the two of them, so he doesn't express his opinion casually.

At this time, he also really felt Zhou Nan's growth. He was no longer a child to take care of, and had carved out a niche of his own.

Zhou Nan did not accept Jean Nord's kindness, and said: "Mayeri, I can accept your help, but I can't accept your charity. Two million is not a small amount, even if it is placed in the bank, it can create nearly 200,000 yuan of income for you every year. So, if you are really willing to borrow, I will also pay interest to you according to the bank's interest, otherwise I can only refuse your kindness. ”

For this, Jean Nord didn't care, inadvertently wiped the corner of his mouth with a handkerchief, and said with a smile: "Then do as you say." ”

His eyes looked out at the pasture, where Audrey and Stephanie were playing with Melissa among the wildflowers, and Noble, who was sitting alone next to the sheepfold, was teasing the lamb with a handful of grass. "Maybe I should buy a ranch too, the kids love to be in nature, you see how happy they are......"

Zhou Nan didn't answer, he also felt that the castle and strict hierarchy of the Rang Nord family were not suitable for the growth of the children, but this was Rang Nord's family affair after all. In Europe, no one wants anyone to interfere in their private affairs, not even friends.

Yannick didn't expect that he would gain so much from coming to Switzerland this time, originally he just hoped to siphon out Zhou Nan's cash here, and then see how much money Zhou Nan's book could pledge.

Today, the Swiss franc is the strongest currency in the world, and the pound and the dollar, although not depreciating significantly after the war, have not performed as well as they have been.

In times of war, one dollar could be exchanged for four Swiss francs, but now, it can only be exchanged for 3.2 Swiss francs, and the ratio of Swiss francs to gold is also rising.

This is because stable Switzerland has become the base camp for the exchange of funds after the war, and both the Eastern and Western camps need a stable window for the exchange of goods.

The Eastern bloc does not agree with the dollar and the British pound, the Western camp cannot agree with the ruble, and even within the Western camp, they do not want the dollar to be too strong, so the Swiss franc has become the strongest currency.

If Yannick can raise millions of Swiss francs, it will play a far greater role than it is worth. Because this is a lever, with these bases, he can get more material and financial support.

If he can come up with 500,000 yuan, Britain and the United States may be able to support him with 1 million funds or materials, but if he can come up with 3 million, Britain and the United States may be able to support him with tens of millions of funds or materials.

Today, Britain and the United States are vigorously supporting some agents in Germany, and many factories are simply giving away money for nothing, and there will not be many such opportunities in the future.

What's more, there is the Marshall Plan mentioned by Jonas, and in the following decades, the United States has been firmly in control of Germany's diplomatic, military, and economic affairs, until the merger of East and West Germany in the nineties.

Being their agent will be safe not only politically, but also financially.

Of course, Zhou Nan didn't know that the funds could be used like this, and he was bent on raising as much money as possible for Yannick.

For the sake of making Nord so generous today, Zhou Nan boiled him a large pot of soup to nourish his kidney and qi at noon, and prescribed him a prescription to go to the East to find some Chinese medicine.

In addition to traditional Chinese medicine, he also introduced Maca from Peru and Cabinda bark from Africa, two of the world's best natural supplements for the kidneys and qi.

For this pervert, after listening to Zhou Nan's introduction, these two supplements simply made him happier than two million. When he was ready to go back, he sent someone to collect these natural supplements.

Through this period of contact, Zhou Nan can clearly feel the sincerity of his cooperation, and hopes that he can live a little longer. That's a good thing for him, at least, he can get involved in politics later.

Helder could never have imagined that the shy teenager he knew at the beginning had now grown into such a situation. If he is familiar with Chinese, he will definitely sigh that there is a lot of talk and laughter, and there is no white ding.

The plan to come to Switzerland this time has already been solved before it has been officially implemented. Jean Nord's two million have exceeded their expectations. What's more, starting tomorrow, there will be another loan that can be negotiated, and this number will not be less than that.

Originally, I only wanted to raise hundreds of thousands, but now I am afraid that the amount that can be raised will exceed five million.

In the afternoon, the propaganda minister of the Liberal Democratic Party, Hlein, also came to the Sennar Villa, and the purpose of his visit was to let Zhou Nan cooperate with the Liberal Democratic Party in the next stage of propaganda.

According to the original plan, Zhou Nan was supposed to leave on Monday and go to Paris for publicity. But he received a call from Zhou Nan and wanted to postpone the trip, which made him a little anxious.

France is not Switzerland, and in order to arrange for Zhou Nan to give a speech tour in France, the Liberal Democratic Party has also spent a lot of political resources, and now Zhou Nan wants to postpone his trip, which is tantamount to doing his previous work in vain.

Because whether you go to Paris or Lyon, the itinerary of those schools has to be changed again. This is equivalent to adding a lot of work to them, and it may not be well coordinated.

When he came to Sennar's villa, he knew the reason why Zhou Nan wanted to postpone his trip, and immediately took care of it. "Jonas, don't change it in France, I'll help you arrange everything you want to do, can't you? Whether you want to register a company or you want a loan, I'm afraid it's more appropriate for me to come forward than for you to do it yourself! ”

Yannick didn't want to affect Zhou Nan's plans for this matter, he knew very well that the more famous Zhou Nan was, the better it would be for the entire Hoffman family. If you offend the bigwigs of the Liberal Democratic Party and the French side for this, it will be too much to lose.

So he also said: "Jonas, with the help of Mr. Hlein and them in this matter, you can go to France with peace of mind, and you can't let this matter affect your overall plan." Now that the situation is improving, the exchanges between the two places will gradually return to normal in the future, and it will be easier for us to meet in the future. ”

Even Jean Nord persuaded Zhou Nan: "Jonas, the loan will be handed over to me, if you can't do it, at most I will raise some funds to make up for the difference between you." ”

They all said so, and Zhou Nan could only agree.

Seeing that he had no longer changed his mind, Hlein also breathed a sigh of relief, and said: "In response to the articles published by some scholars in the media criticizing your work, our Propaganda Department has also made some plans, using the media under our control and the media related to us to conduct all-round debates. In terms of media relations, we will build a good relationship for you, but in academic theoretical debates, you need to come up with corresponding articles. So, from now on, we will collect all kinds of reports every day and bring them to you, and you will have to come up with at least one article every day to respond to these doubts and criticisms, can you do that? ”

Zhou Nan replied with a smile: "Don't worry, if it's an academic debate, I won't be afraid of anyone." ”

Zhou Nan does have this confidence, purely academically, Zhou Nan believes that no one in this era can compare with himself, because he has decades of theoretical knowledge than others.

The only thing he doesn't have an advantage in now is the color of his skin. The decline of the East and the rise of the West have given Westerners a natural sense of superiority in their hearts, which cannot be solved in the short term.

Even though there are some media outlets that are on the side of Zhou Nan now, they admit that Zhou Nan's historical and humanistic research is more progressive and comprehensive. But he doesn't think that the Oriental race is smart, and prefers to emphasize that Zhou Nan has received a Western education since he was a child.

Therefore, some ethnic elements will criticize Zhou Nan's skin color in a discriminatory attitude in the media. But these people Zhou Nan will not care, and naturally there are people from the Liberal Democratic Party who help him and the other party to ridicule each other.

Only those articles that are really academic discussions or debates, Zhou Nan will respond.

There are also some people who are difficult to deal with, that is, some experts and scholars with relatively high status, if they are quite unreasonable and use some small fallacies in the book to expand and suppress them, this kind of thing is the most difficult to deal with.

For these people, Zhou Nan can only ignore them for the time being, as long as his book is accepted by most people, then their voices will naturally be much weaker.

Of course, the most important thing is that he wants to go to England as soon as possible to borrow Toynbee's momentum, and if he can get more recognition from academic experts, then his academic position will become more and more stable.

Suddenly, Kelly shouted loudly from the first floor: "Audrey, Audrey, your mother has arrived in Lucerne and is now at the train station." ”
