Chapter 137

137 returned to Switzerland

Zhou Nan couldn't even wait for the university's blueprints to be finalized, he had been here for too long, and there were too many things to attend to in Switzerland.

On January 18, after spending the Laba Festival, Zhou Nan left Nanhua the next day on a special plane driven by Hughes. When he returned, most of the assistants stayed in Nanhua, and only a group of Nanhua students accompanied him back to Switzerland.

It was also on this day that the independence of Myanmar, which had been delayed by half a month from its previous life, was finally officially announced.

This time, Count Mountbatten played more thoroughly than the partition of India and Pakistan, so the big India was only divided into East and West Pakistan and India, but the small Myanmar, which was originally only a province of India, was divided into four countries.

To the northeast of the border with Thailand is the Karen state, to the north, the Shan state, and to the northwest, the Kachin Republic of Myitkyina.

But most of Myanmar, including the most developed cities, is a major Burmese country.

The decision was met with emotion in Myanmar, but Thailand praised it.

A bunch of small countries next to their own country are certainly less threatening than a united large country.

Zhou Nan, who was on the plane, went all the way to Switzerland to get the news, and at this time, it was already the 20th in Asia.

This time, the British did not tell him the news in advance, which also gave Zhou Nan a personal experience of the British's practice of crossing the river and demolishing the bridge.

If he could get the news a day earlier, he could at least communicate with the blue side through Nanhua. It will be a warlord war for decades to come, and the troops stranded there will be able to lay a foothold.

The British play like this, and they don't take themselves seriously, which makes Zhou Nan want Nanhua to support the red tide in Malaysia.

However, reason told him that this is not advisable, and it is not impossible to do intrigues and tricks in the international situation, but it is almost impossible to hide himself completely.

If it falls apart from the West as a result, then South China will suffer a catastrophe.

However, since they dare to do so, they are waiting to face their own revenge.

If the conspiracy is not advisable, I will come to the Yang plot.

As long as South China stabilizes and fully supports the Chinese in Malaysia, the British will definitely be anxious in the future.

Now that the Chinese in South China and Malaysia are like a family, as long as they are not caught supporting the Red Party, and people of the same nationality support each other, they cannot sanction South China because of this.

Because he slept on the plane, Zhou Nan couldn't sleep at all at night. Audrey is the same, she lived in Nanhua for half a month, and when she came back all of a sudden, it was difficult for her biological clock to adjust.

However, Hughes drove almost all the way on the plane, did not rest much, and when he arrived in Switzerland, he shivered from the cold, and fell asleep after getting into the bed in the guest room.

From the hot South China to the cold Switzerland all of a sudden, there are not only two people who can't sleep.

Yannick is also back with the plane this time, but he will be back in Germany tomorrow. This time, in addition to arranging for the first batch of employees to go to the training, he also has a task to continue to help Nanhua recruit skilled workers.

The immigration threshold in South China today is mainly for the indigenous people of the East Indies, but there is almost no threshold for Europeans and Americans, especially skilled workers.

Whether you are a scholar or a mechanic, as long as you are willing to work in Nanhua, Nanhua can provide the cost of settling in and the food that money cannot buy now.

Although Nanhua can only provide rice now, there is no wheat that Europeans are used to eating. But when you are about to starve to death, you will be satisfied with a bite to eat, and who cares if you can get used to it.

When he went to Nanhua this time, he could deeply feel how influential his son was there, and whoever he knew was Jonas's adoptive father was a great gift.

Volkswagen's investment almost does not have to worry about him, and all procedures are simplified. There is no need for him to negotiate at all, and the conditions given by Nanhua are very much in line with the public's expectations.

Although the current Volkswagen is gaining momentum, it has two giant bloodsucking worms attached to it. The development of the factory, at present, depends on the faces of the British and French, and all the profits are also shared by them.

But he already had preparations and plans in his heart. Before the establishment of the German state, Volkswagen was not qualified to speak of conditions.

Not to mention anything else, Britain and France only need to cut off the supply of spare parts to the public, coal power, and steel, and the public will be completely paralyzed.

The investment in Nanhua is also a good opportunity to establish a joint venture company and also to place the development of new models with Asian companies.

South China Volkswagen, Volkswagen needs to come up with very little money. With the $6 million start-up capital raised by the Chinese, and Volkswagen's well-established team and business network, these investments can be recouped in a few years.

Although there is still the danger of war over there, the wealth is in danger, and even if the war is lost, the public will not lose too much.

However, when he went to Nanhua this time, he also felt a little different change, that is, his son was almost not motivated in business.

There are so many opportunities to make money, he doesn't pay attention to it at all, and talks about politics with a bunch of old foxes every day.

Then, he invested much more energy in the construction of the university, but the university is not a monster that swallows money!

If Volkswagen gets all of its shares back now and the momentum is good, he doesn't mind putting the rest of the money into education. But if you don't raise funds to redeem Volkswagen shares now, if you want to redeem shares in the future, you will have to spend a lot of money!

If these have not had a big impact on him, then Jonas has cooperated with Hughes, opened a television station, and built an aircraft factory, which makes him feel that Jonas is drifting away from him.

If this makes money, why doesn't Jonas work with him? The aircraft factory can't be built, at least the TV station can do it on its own!

Jonas had a steady stream of manuscript fees and royalties on his records, and the banks were eager to lend him money. Could it be that Jonas felt like he had become a burden?

Zhou Nan sat on the warm windowsill with Audrey, the hollow wall was burning the fireplace, and the temperature in the room was kept at seventeen or eighteen degrees, although the floor heating was not burned, but the room was not cold at all.

The winter night outside the window is cold, and the unmelted snow and ice make the night sky bright and white under the moonlight.

Audrey nestled in Zhou Nan's arms, and the two of them looked at the scenery outside, saying nothing, thinking about nothing, enjoying this tranquility.

But this silence was ruined by Yannick's knock at the door, and Yannick called out outside the door, "Jonas, see the light in your room is still on, have you fallen asleep?" ”

"No, not yet."

"Then let's talk, it's an Asian morning, I haven't had a jet lag yet, and I'm not sleepy."

Zhou Nan patted Audrey's arm lightly and said softly, "You better go sleep for a while first, and check your homework tomorrow." ”

Audrey pouted, this time Mr. Lim stayed in South China as the master planner of New Penang, but there was no one to make up for her.

Zhou Nan opened the door and saw Yannick sitting in a rocking chair in front of the fireplace, looking worried. "Did you encounter any difficulties?"

Yannick looked at Jonas, his delicate face was innocent, and he still acted like a child in front of him.

"No, I have a little doubt. This time, when you started a TV station in Nanhua, why did you want to cooperate with Hughes instead of starting it yourself? ”

"This thing......" Zhou Nan walked to the front of the fireplace, opened the lid, looked at the fire inside, and stuffed two more sections of wood into it and said: "Hughes has experience in running a TV station, and he also has talents in this area. More importantly, he has a certain amount of energy in the US Congress, and some concessions from the media and oil interests can allow him to persuade the US Congress to agree to his investment in South China, as well as to let South China develop westward. ”

Yannick frowned and asked, "Don't you think you've been unaggressive in your personal affairs, but you've put too much energy into Nanhua's affairs?" Not only does this not fit the positioning you have always wanted to keep a low profile, but it also seems that you are too noble. ”

Zhou Nan has always respected Yannick and believes in his ability, and when he heard him say this, Zhou Nan couldn't help but think about it. Indeed, over the past year or so, he has indeed devoted a lot of energy to the affairs of South China. However, he has always grasped the balance well and has not crossed the psychological bottom line of Western countries.

After thinking about it carefully, he shook his head and said, "Although I have done a lot of things, I am not out of line, so it doesn't matter, they will continue to woo me." ”

Yannick simply said directly: "Within five years, if we pay back the compensation set by the French, we will have the opportunity to redeem the other forty percent of the shares from the British. ”

Zhou Nan then understood, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, even if we can't come up with this money at that time, I can ask the Swiss bank to borrow from us to buy back these shares." I've never been worried about the money, I'm only worried that the British won't be happy to fulfill their contracts. ”

"Why do you think that?"

"Volkswagen's development has increased almost exponentially, and now we have been able to produce 20,000 cars a month and more than 200,000 cars a year. With a monthly output of 8,000 cars is Volkswagen's profit and loss line, 10,000 cars will make money, and now the current production will have sales of $24 million a month and a net profit of more than $5 million. ”

Without waiting for Yannick to speak, Zhou Nan said: "According to the historical trajectory, West Germany will be established around June this year, but the West German government has nothing, and most of the enterprises in the territory are also half-dead. Have you thought about it? ”

Yannick asked what was in his heart: "Is this the reason why you are in business independently?" ”
