In this era, the entry and exit management of almost all countries is still being explored. With the exception of a few permanently neutral countries like Switzerland and occupied territories like Germany, customs administration in most countries is very simple.

Switzerland is very strict about the entry of foreigners, but it is very lenient in the management of leaving the country, and has signed visa on arrival regulations with many countries.

Zhou Nan's passports were sent by Etinny to the nearest U.S. Consulate in Zurich, and they were almost stamped with the seal of the U.S. Ministry of Foreign Affairs.

Because they only stayed in Paris for a short time, Zhou Nan and their visit to Paris this time did not alarm too many people.

After arriving in Paris at two o'clock in the morning, Zhou Nan met with Helder and Renian at the train station to discuss the development of Hepburn Fashion.

Both Dior and Balmain are doing well at the moment, and the two founders are not willing to limit their business to just clothing, so they have been looking for other directions.

Because of the lack of time, neither Dior nor Balmain came, and only Givenchy brought a few more costumes designed for Audrey.

When Mrs. Hemstra saw Audrey, she inevitably had to be verbose again. However, Audrey has already been taught by Zhou Nan, anyway, whether she is right or not, she listens obediently, and it is a big deal to go in and out of her left ear.

In the café at the train station, everyone stayed together until dawn, had breakfast, and then drove to Orly Airport in the southern suburbs of Paris. Later, the famous Charles de Gaulle Airport is still a design drawing, and even construction has not yet begun

Since it was agreed with Coty Perfumes that there would be two promotional meetings in the United States this time, Coty Perfumes also sent a team to the United States, with a total of nearly 20 people from both sides, accounting for one-third of the passengers on the plane.

At seven o'clock in the morning, the sun rose in the east, and Zhou Nan and they also boarded the plane to New York.

Today, the mainstream aircraft of civil aviation is still such as the Yun-29 Junkers aunt, and most of the intercontinental aircraft are Lockheed constellation aircraft, which can fly a distance of 5,000 kilometers at a time.

Their competitor is the DC-6 of the Douglas Aircraft Manufacturing Company, which is the only two aircraft currently on the market that can seat more than 60 people.

As for Boeing, they were also a manufacturer of military aircraft, and it was not until the late fifties that they entered the civil aviation market.

Although the Constellation is already the largest and farthest flying aircraft of this era, it is still very small, and it is only a little larger than the space of a bus. This piston type aircraft can fly more than three or four hundred kilometers per hour, and its top speed is only a little more than five hundred kilometers.

Before the invention of the jumbo jet, the comfort and timeliness of the journey could not be talked about at all.

At 7:20, the plane took off on time, drawing a beautiful arc in the sky towards the north, heading west.

Because it flies clockwise, the speed of the plane is half the speed of rotation, which means that two hours today is equivalent to one hour in normal times.

The plane is slow in the air like a turtle crawling, after passing the UK, into the vast Atlantic, without the land as a reference, if you don't look at the white clouds, you can't even feel the plane flying.

Most people are still excited at first, and in this era, there are still very few people who have ever flown in a plane.

But they soon got tired of it, and dozed off one by one in their not very comfortable seats.

Compared with the aircraft of later generations, this kind of aircraft has a low flight altitude, slow speed, and is not comfortable. Zhou Nan just slept for a while and woke up, and Audrey couldn't sleep in his arms, and asked Zhou Nan in a nervous whisper: "Will the plane fall?" ”

Zhou Nan couldn't help but laugh, this kind of piston plane is actually much safer than jet aircraft. Because there are four engines, even in the event of an engine failure, the remaining three engines are enough power to fly.

If it is just landing, it is enough to have two engines.

Moreover, this kind of aircraft can fly at low altitudes, and it can also make a forced landing in an emergency, unlike jet aircraft, if something happens, almost all the crew will not survive.

Since he couldn't sleep, Zhou Nan saw that Stolko and Etinny were also not asleep, so he simply called the two of them over and discussed the arrangements after arriving in the United States.

Audrey's trip to the United States this time was fully arranged, and so was Zhou Nan. His books are selling very well in the United States, especially for music recordings, and they are selling almost as well in North America as they do in Europe.

In this era, there is no other music that can be recorded except classical music. Pop music is still ninth-rate, black music is not elegant, and rock music has not yet appeared.

Zhou Nan's music albums are different from classical music and belong to the category of light music, and as soon as this new form of music appeared, it was immediately welcomed by the whole society.

In New York, he would attend a music pitch and give a radio interview. When I arrived in Los Angeles, there was also a book signing. And after the festival, the University of California will be invited to hold an academic lecture.

After participating in the boot-up ceremony, Zhou Nan's itinerary will be more intensive, and it will be difficult to have leisure time until he leaves the United States.

After a long flight of fifteen hours, the plane finally flew from Europe to Newfoundland in Canada, the easternmost part of the Americas. Of course, at this time, Newfoundland was still an independent country, and it was not until two years later that they gave up their independent status and joined Canada.

They are willing to join Canada mainly because a quarter of their young men died in World War I, which has led to a demographic crisis.

For two decades, it was a transit port between Europe and the American continent before jets were able to travel directly through destinations on two continents.

The plane will be refueled, overhauled, and stayed for three to four hours before continuing its flight to the southwest. It would take another five or six hours to fly to New York.

The airport for international flights is Gander Airport in the middle of the island, which is quite beautiful on the radio, and the airport also has a special short-term excursion program for passengers to choose from.

Although the plane had been flying for 15 hours, it was still the afternoon local time on Newfoundland, and the sun was shining.

Everyone was still interested in going to the island to have a round, but as soon as they got off the plane, they shivered from the cold. Because there was no preparation, the luggage was on the plane, and everyone could only eat a little food in the airport restaurant to keep warm, and they had no intention of playing.

Before dark, they set off again for New York.

When I arrived in New York, it was already 10 p.m. local time, because most of the planes in this era still took off and landed during the day, so there was almost no queue, and the plane flew over the bustling city of Manhattan and landed at Newark Airport.

This airport is currently the only airport in New York, and JFK Airport is still under construction.

It's time to get off the plane, Zhou Nan became busy, and the flight attendants and pilots became star chasers one by one, and they came to Zhou Nan to sign autographs and take photos.

The captain even invited Zhou Nan to the pilot's seat to experience the fun of flying a plane, and Audrey also took several photos of Zhou Nan with great interest.

Before the customs at the airport came out, there was a lot of noise in the departure hall. A group of more than 200 Chinese, holding blue sky and white sun flags and slogans, were encircled by safety ropes in a specific area in the hall, and when they saw Zhou Nan and them coming out, they immediately cheered.

This scene was something that Zhou Nan never expected, he was completely defenseless, and the softest part of his heart was touched.

Seeing those excited Chinese people holding welcome signs, Zhou Nan couldn't help but have some tears in his eyes for a while.

He had no idea that in the distant United States, there would be so many compatriots who were proud of his little achievement.

Before coming to the United States, he also learned about the racial segregation policy in the United States today. Although the Chinese Exclusion Act was repealed four years ago. But in the United States now, not to mention the Chinese, even Hispanics and Jews are discriminated against, let alone Chinese.

Although there was no Chinese Exclusion Act, the scope of Chinese life was still limited, and most communities did not allow Chinese people to live.

Some communities accept the requirement of minorities to attend college, but most still control minority enrollment.

In other words, while white Americans have given some hope to minorities, most of them have been kept out.

The Jews who later almost controlled the United States were also the targets of discrimination in this era, many Jews relied on reading to get out of captivity, and countless industries closed their doors to Jews.

As for the blacks, not to mention, when they go to the restaurant to eat, they can only sit in the designated place, go to the toilet, and are not allowed to use the whites' wash basins. Of course, there are many more establishments that don't allow blacks to come and go at all.

Baseball, the sport of rugby, in the United States, blacks are not allowed to join at all, they can only go and play basketball.

What is even more pitiful than the Chinese is that black children can only go to specific community schools to go to school, and any school with white people can accept Jewish and Chinese children, but will not accept black children.

Zhou Nan thought that the Chinese in the United States live in a cramped social environment, and that he will work hard to improve the situation of the Chinese in this regard when he comes to the United States this time.

But he never imagined that as soon as he arrived in the United States, he felt the welcome and excitement of all Chinese.

He pushed away Popler and Flegg who were in front of him and said, "I believe that my compatriots will not do me any harm." ”

He held his right hand aloft, waved it at them, and handed his passport to the customs officer.

His fame may have spread to the United States, even if you don't know him, when you see those Chinese, you will know that he is not a simple person. He did not encounter any difficulties before the staff stamped his passport.

"Welcome to America, Mr. Zhou."

"Yes, I love America, and I've felt the warmth of America."
