Meanwhile, on a train from Stuttgart to Zurich, Yannick Hoffmann was looking at a Swiss-published newspaper. On the newspaper, a few tearful photos made Yannick sigh.

This is already a week ago in the newspaper, and the photo shows Zhou Nan and a group of students being moved to tears after the song "The Original Scenery of Hometown" was played.

Seeing that his boss was immersed in his own world, Helde complimented: "I really didn't expect Jonas to develop into such a situation now." Almost every one of these newspapers has his news on it. ”

Yannick woke up and smiled reassuringly, "He's always been a good kid......"

"The newspaper says Jonas is going to Paris next week, so it doesn't seem like the timing of our visit is good. Time is too short, and I don't know how much money he can scrape together here? Helde sighed and said, "If it were a little later, Jonas would have been able to get the manuscript fee, and the funds would have been more generous, but now, his book has only been published for half a month." ”

Yannick comforted him and said, "Jonas still has a sum of money in his hand, even if there is no manuscript fee, and it is enough for us to hold off the British for the time being." ”

For this henchman who has been with him for nearly ten years, Yannick does not have a condescending attitude. After this war, they were able to work together without barriers, and the relationship between the two sides has become like a family.

Helde became Yannick's assistant when he returned to Germany in '38. It was only in the middle that when the assets were sold in 43, in order to assist the Bavarian Junker nobles to take over the inheritance, he briefly left Yannick's side.

Later, Yannick lived in seclusion on the shores of Lake Dinn in Leverkusen, becoming a farmer. At first, Helder had some opinions, thinking that Yannick was stepping back by giving up such a good business and becoming a minority shareholder of Bayer.

However, the subsequent changes in the tide of battle, including the change of the current situation, made Helde admire Yannick's foresight and throw himself to the ground.

Germany was defeated, and almost all the money invested by the Junkers who became military supply merchants was lost. Although Bayer was also broken up, the impact on the pharmaceutical factory was not fatal, and the Hoffmann family retained its vitality.

Taking advantage of the financial constraints of the major shareholder, Yannick relied on the stored grain in exchange for jewelry, and obtained some funds, and now his stake in the pharmaceutical factory has risen to 22%.

In addition to this, he took over many small businesses that had gone bankrupt and supported a large number of workers. For the sake of regional peace, the British also deliberately supported him, Rommel's in-laws, and gave him a controlling stake in a number of enterprises cheaply or even for free, as long as he could stabilize those workers and have something to eat.

As Yannick's assistant, Helder knew very well that Yannick's current industry was not only not less than in the past, but had expanded a lot. Although it is now difficult to move forward due to financial constraints, Yannick's influence has expanded throughout the Cologne region, far from being comparable to the small merchant who used to be.

The train enters Singen railway station, which is the last stop on the way to Switzerland. Countless girls crowded into the train at once, all of them in ragged clothes, and even their well-dressed faces showed a vegetable.

They were full of excitement, but they also had unconcealed fears, and no one knew whether they would be able to enter Switzerland, or where they would stay at their next stop, and then be deported back to Germany.

Just for a hope, they also got on this train without hesitation.

The men in the car knew what they were going to do, but they didn't look down on them at all, they just felt full of sadness.

As a man, but unable to protect their own women, what right do they have to condemn them?

The Allies had strict control over German men leaving the country, but they were lax in managing these women who could not find jobs and did not have enough to eat. As long as the Swiss side let them go, they don't mind if these women go abroad to find something to eat.

There were originally some loose carriages, because these women were crowded. Yannick stood next to their seat a woman who was apparently a frequent traveler to and from the border, imparting her experience to the somewhat hastily rushed women.

"When you go through customs, you must not try to seduce the soldiers, the more pitiful you are, the better. If your acting skills are good, you can pretend to be stunned, and you can also gain the mercy of those soldiers. Even if you are repatriated, you will be able to eat at least a full meal, and if you are lucky, you will be able to get some financial support. Also, remember that you must not have any resistance mentality, even if you want to be repatriated, you must listen to those soldiers, otherwise, the Swiss customs will directly hand you over to those French brutes! ”

Yannick kept his head down and kept reading the newspaper, but he was depressed at the bottom of his heart. Historically, a German woman has never been in such a situation!

The train entered the territory of Switzerland, a small village called Ramusen, which originally had no station, but now the Swiss have set up a checkpoint.

The girls with short-haul tickets were kicked off the bus and checked one by one. Yannick and Held, on business visas, were only checked for luggage and left in the car.

After about twenty minutes, the women were allowed to come up again, but not more than half of the start. Moreover, most of the women left in the car were young and beautiful, and at this time, they all had a kind of happiness for the rest of their lives.

Seeing this scene, Yannick's heart became even more sad, and he even felt that he did not dare to face these women.

And these women didn't dare to disturb them, the big people who could go abroad at this time, and even if there was a vacant seat in the car, they only dared to sit down cautiously at the invitation of the other party.

The train stops again in Winterthur, the nearest city to Zurich, and at this time, anyone who does not have an official and business visa will be disembarked, and they will not be allowed to enter Zurich directly.

Although news from within Germany was blocked from the outside world, news from abroad was not blocked from Germany. So, when Jonas convened the somewhat ridiculous World Economic Forum, Yannick learned about him in Germany.

As for the news of Jonas later, although there are not many in Germany, there are some reports in Germany after the publication of his book.

Because of this news, Yannick knew that this place had become a big city of people. Almost all people who come to Switzerland to earn a living are arranged and distributed here.

These people can also get a work visa for at least three months. Although three months is not a long time, you can earn some foreign exchange here, and with this money back to Germany, the family can save money and cope with it for a year.

Some men may still be able to sell their talents, but these beautiful girls seem to have only one way to go.

Although this fact is painful, at least they will survive and give hope to their families.

The train was empty again, but Yannick and Helde were still in no mood to talk, and they read the newspaper in silence until they arrived in Zurich.

From Zurich we changed trains again and arrived in Lucerne in the evening. The two men got off the train with their suitcases and found a taxi outside the station. "To Villa Sennar."

Who knew that the taxi driver listened to them, looked at them carefully and said, "If you are going to Villa Sennar, it is better to go to the pier on the other side of the train station to take a boat." Now that Weggis has opened a route to Lucerne, you can disembark directly at Villa Sennar. ”

Yannick asked with some curiosity, "It's just the two of us, and the boat will also stop at Villa Sennar?" ”

"Of course, the Villa Sennar is now the pride of our Lucerne, and there are many people who come here every day." The driver looked at his watch and said, "If you are going to the Villa Sennar, don't disturb me about my business, it will cost you three times more to drive there than if you were to take a boat." You can still catch up with the time now, and the ship will leave if it is too late. ”

Yannick and Helde glanced at each other, thanked the driver, and walked around to the other side of the train station.

The Lucerne train station was originally on the lake, and there was a marina for pleasure boats behind it, and the two of them came to the pier, and there was a large area of small wooden boats on the lake, as well as a few pleasure boats.

A staff member pointed to a brand-new medium-sized yacht and said, "If you're going to Weggis, get on that boat, and the fare is fifty centimes per person." ”

Bought a ticket and boarded the new ship, which was mostly occupied by some American soldiers. They laughed loudly on the boat, marveling at the beauty around them and talking about their affairs.

Helde couldn't help but curse in a low voice: "These arrogant rednecks! ”

Yannick couldn't help but stand by the guardrail, looking into the distance, trying to find the peninsula. But seven kilometers away, and with other scenery blocking him, he didn't find his goal.

After a while, the boat was moving, and the ship's radio began to advertise the surrounding scenery in German and English.

A few minutes later, the boat sailed out of Lucerne's bay and the surrounding scenery opened up. Guided by the radio, Yannick soon saw the peninsula in the distance and the faint Villa Sennar.

His heart was filled with pride, that it was his child's home, and that his child had grown up to be a proud figure of the city, something he could never have imagined before.

Not only him, Caroline, but also the other children, were extremely excited and proud to see the news of Zhou Nan, which was also the glory of the entire Hoffman family.

In particular, Jonas was a child who had always added Hoffman's surname to his name, making the Hoffman family famous all over the world along with his fame, and Yannick couldn't help but be excited when he thought of this.

As the boat passed the peninsula, it did not come closer, but bypassed the peninsula and stopped at a bay on the east side.

This is now a construction site, not only is a dock being built, but also a large area of land has been excavated, and it is clear that a large building is going to be built here.

Hyulder asked, somewhat surprised, "What is to be built here?" ”

Yannick was also a little unsure, and the two of them approached to see a sign next to the construction site.

The sign says that a conference building with a capacity of 2,000 people will be built, with five conference halls, and a castle-style hotel with 200 rooms.

All of this is incredible!
