Chapter 157: Reflection
Originally, according to the plan, when Zhou Nan returned, he would play in Wolfsburg for two days. However, the Dutch announced in advance that the East Indies would be allowed to become independent, and this international turmoil intensified, and Zhou Nan had to rush back to Switzerland as soon as possible.
Out of the train station, Zhou Nan saw a row of nine brand-new Beetle cars parked outside the station, Yannick said with some pride: "This is the first batch of products, at present we only have a daily production of two hundred, but by next year, we can produce two thousand a day." There are thirty-two people in your delegation, and I have prepared seven cars for you, enough for you to drive back to Switzerland. ”
Zhou Nan deliberately asked, "Is it all for me?" ”
He smiled and patted Zhou Nan's shoulder and said: "Now there are too many orders in various places, and the production is not normal, and when all aspects go smoothly in the future, you want as much as you want." ”
Zhou Nan couldn't help but ask, "The sales are good?" ”
"The first batch of cars was almost all bought by the British, and the French side agreed to pay compensation for the cars, and now we can't fulfill the order from the Austrian side. There was also a Soviet side that wanted a batch of cars, but the British side did not approve it. ”
Although he was extremely proud, the cars of this era were only in their infancy, just a means of transportation, and they were not comfortable at all.
The Beetle is not a large car, not to mention five big men, even four people sit in it, and it is also extremely crowded.
To be honest, it's not as comfortable as a train at all, but trains in this era were below 50 per hour, and they had to stop for maintenance frequently.
From Berlin to Lucerne, Zhou Nan needs to change trains three times, and the whole journey takes nearly 20 hours, which is not counting the waiting time.
But if you drive back, the distance of 800 kilometers will be smooth, and you will be able to reach home in ten hours.
Zhou Nan was placed in a car in the middle of the convoy, and Popler drove it, and the convoy quickly left the chaotic Berlin and headed west.
Yannick, a 1.9-meter-tall man, couldn't squeeze into the back row, so Zhou Nan and Helder could only sit in the back row, and he sat in the co-pilot's seat. After getting in the car, he opened his briefcase and handed Zhou Nan a stack of newspapers.
"This is what the German media has said about you during this time, almost all of them praise and praise, and in the minds of the Germans, you are almost the embodiment of perfection."
"There's no big problem with the distribution of food, is it?"
"Volkswagen workers have an allotment of 2,500 kcal a day, and our shortage is not the worst. So only 3,000 tons of wheat remained, with an average of nearly 200 kilograms per person, which should be enough for us until May next year. I entrusted all the rest of the grain to the CDU to sell under the supervision of the British, and although it was very painstaking, I was satisfied in all respects. ”
Because there are many monks and little porridge, 10,000 tons of wheat is only 10 million kilograms, and when it is distributed to every German, there is a maximum of half a catty, which is enough to eat a meal.
The British were now short of food, and the food they brought to the German-occupied territories could only supply 1,800 calories per person per day. And an adult, the lowest calorie supply in the body, also needs more than two thousand two.
This is still an average, and among some ordinary people, it is very good to be able to guarantee 15,000 a day, but it will not starve to death.
If it's summer, it's a little better, but the cold winter is coming, and Germany doesn't even have heating now, and I don't know how many weak people will not survive this winter.
Seven thousand tons of wheat, which was far from enough to feed the Germans, and Yannick did not donate this grain for free, but simply sold it at a low price.
Want to buy food, whatever you take. It can be exchanged for anything of value, and the price is about the same as what the Soviet Union now sells to other allies.
Now that there is money everywhere and there is no way to buy food, it is indeed a good thing to be able to sell it at such a price, without limiting the currency.
If you really don't want a penny, donating this batch of food will probably only do bad things with good intentions. Because in order to grab this food, I am afraid that countless people will fight.
The inferiority of human beings can never be ignored, especially when they can't take care of their lives.
Selling cheaper is a more appropriate way than donating for free.
After explaining the situation, Yannick said with some irritation: "The house in Wolfsburg is almost full of all kinds of antiques and works of art that you mentioned, and you need to think of a better way to deal with these things." ”
"I don't have time in the near future, maybe in the New Year, I will bring Audrey with me, at that time, I will pick some of them, and you will build a museum here to collect the rest."
The convoy had reached Wolfsburg, and before it had even entered the city, it saw that the road was already crowded with people, many of whom were holding pictures of Jonas and signs of welcome.
Seeing the convoy coming, countless people let out shocking cheers......
Yannick looked back and smiled, "Look, the people here adore you now...... The boys of the public, because they can eat their stomachs, have become the objects that girls all over Germany want to marry...... Do you want to get out of the car and say a few words? ”
Without waiting for Popler's dissuasion, he sighed again: "You are no longer the unknown Jonas you used to be, you are a special adviser to the Swiss Federal Council, and it is not convenient for you to come into contact with others abroad......"
Zhou Nan hugged his neck from behind and said with a smile: "But I will always be your son." ”
Although he didn't stop on the road, Zhou Nan's home in Yannick was still blocked. However, Yannick's prestige had gradually been established, and he went down to dissuade him, but the people got out of the way.
Caroline's mother still prepared a pot of hand-rolled noodles for Zhou Nan, and after a two-day journey, she ate several large bowls of hot hand-rolled noodles, not to mention how comfortable it was.
However, they wanted to get back to Switzerland before midnight, and after lunch, they had to prepare to leave.
Experiencing the extreme discomfort of five people sitting in a cramped car, Yannick finally gritted his teeth and transferred another one to Zhou Nan. "You can keep three of these cars, and give the rest to Father Bvanrenner and a few of my old friends in Switzerland, which I promised them. I have already handed over the list and address to Holder. ”
Zhou Nan hugged Caroline's mother, looked back and said, "He is safer than me, you can rest assured." ”
"When you go back, ask Kelly if she would like to sell our cars in Switzerland, and if so, I can give her the Swiss sales......"
Zhou Nanleng paused for a moment and said, "Kelly has never mentioned this, and can she do it well?" ”
"Isn't that you? Do you think someone would risk offending you and bully her? ”
Zhou Nan still shook his head and said, "I don't think it's a good idea, she's just an ordinary woman......"
"But she is the person closest to you, we are doing well now, and we should take care of the most, will these people close to you be soon? You ask her what she means first, and if she doesn't want to do it, I'll leave it to someone else. ”
Yannick said this, but Zhou Nan's heart was touched. Has he always been a little too self-righteous?
Because Kelly was a woman with little education, he took it for granted that she would help him with household chores at home. Because Audrey was a big star in her previous life, he thought that Audrey should continue to follow the path of her previous life, because Glevin was a farmer before, he thought that Glevin should stay on the farm.
But he never paid attention to their hearts, whether all this was what they wanted!
Glewin and Kelly, Zhou Nan can still be sure of more than half of them, because they also show that they like their current life.
But what about Audrey? He never seemed to really talk to her about this, and treated her like a little girl, arranging her future path.
On the journey back to Switzerland from Germany, Zhou Nan had been caught up in this self-blame, and he now truly realized that his character was deeply flawed, and he also knew where the flaws were.
In the past, when others said it, he always thought that others didn't understand him and didn't understand him, but now it seems that officially because others understand him, so he doesn't say it.
Because he already has all kinds of talents around him now, he just stabbed Lou Zi, and they can also help solve it.
But emotional things are something they can't help. Because he and Audrey are happy or unhappy, no one else can replace him.
Moreover, prophetic warnings such as those of the Netherlands and England are forgivable for the sake of their own nation, but they must not make such mistakes again in the future.
Because of this big man, not to mention Stolco, even the whole country of Switzerland, may not be able to help him afford it.
In Stuttgart, the convoy refueled at the refueling point that Yannick had already arranged and continued on its way.
At 10 p.m., the convoy arrived at the Swiss border, and Etinny came forward to check in for the vehicle. The group of 32 people were all government officials, and their luggage only went through a simple inspection and declaration, and they entered the country with ease.
When they arrived in Zurich, the convoy dispersed, leaving only three cars still behind Zhou Nan. It took nearly another hour to finally arrive at the small town of Weggis.
Fedward and the others insisted on sending Zhou Nan to the entrance of the farm, the conference hall was almost completed, and the scaffolding had been dismantled. The majestic conference hall and the quaint Hilton Hotel are particularly imposing under the illumination of two searchlights.
The farm has changed dramatically, and under the light of a few yellow street lamps, several more houses can be seen, and the main body of these houses is almost complete.
The worker on duty walked out with a flashlight, and suddenly there were a few dog barks in the quiet farm, and then a large number of dog barks.
The car stopped in the garden of Villa Sennar, and the usually serious Popler couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief when he stopped the car. "It's finally home."
Zhou Nan laughed and said, "Don't worry about my safety now, we can also have two drinks today." ”
The barking of the dog outside the car door had disappeared, but there was a whimpering sound. As soon as Zhou Nan pushed the car door, John pounced all of a sudden, his stinky mouth wide open, and his tongue licked Zhou Nan's face.
The door to the villa also opened, and Audrey rushed out at the front. "Jonas, you're finally home."
