Peninsula Farm is good for everything, except for one downside, which is that it is a little too big. Zhounan has a small population, and it will feel very quiet when you live here, but when you work, you will feel that there is too much work here.

From the convention center, a winding main road winds around the northern part of the hill and leads directly to the main house and the marina, a full nine hundred meters long. Add to this a trail to the houses of Stolco and Holder, and the length of these two roads is 1,200 meters.

Although they were divided into four teams, they still worked until almost noon to clear the road.

A layer of salt is sprinkled on the road, and the snowflakes that fall on the road do not solidify and turn into snow water. At least today, there will be no snow on the road, and tomorrow it will be snow, and it will be only a thin layer, and it will be very easy to clean.

Zhou Nan felt that every inch of his muscles was heating up, and he felt a sense of exhaustion all over his body, but after doing so much work, the sense of accomplishment was very strong.

Everyone was a little tired, packed up their work tools, and put them on their shoulders to prepare for going home.

Storko's two sons admired Zhou Nan immensely, and his eldest son, Kelvin, carried a wooden plough and asked, "Jonas, can I be a guest at your house in a moment?" ”

"Of course, you all come here, and we'll make a hot pot to eat at noon."

Several young people immediately cheered, "Let's go too." ”

Audrey smiled: "Everyone come, eating hot pot is to be lively when there are many people." ”

Brentany put his arm around Audrey's waist and said, "My favorite food is hot pot." ”

Young people like to be boisterous, and both Stolko and Helder shook their heads. "Then you young people will get together, Yannick will arrive in the evening, and we will be guests again."

Kelvin currently works in Zurich as an actuary for a banking statistics agency. Zhou Nan can't tell what he does for the specific work, but it is mainly to evaluate the development efficiency of major banks.

The youngest son, Casper, is still in college in Zurich, and he is the most admired of Zhou Nan among the young people. When I saw Zhou Nan for the first time, I even cried excitedly, which made Zhou Nan really proud at that time.

Brentany and Audrey have long been friends, and the two young girls on the farm will naturally interact a little more.

Hui put the tools in the utility room on the north side of the main house, Zhou Nan did not go back to the house, took the excited John, stepped on the thick snow, and came to the vegetable greenhouse.

In Switzerland in winter, it is not easy to eat some fresh vegetables, the price is expensive, and there are not many varieties.

Zhou Nan used the gas of the biogas digester to heat the house, built a 200-meter glass greenhouse and planted vegetable seeds that the Nord sent people to buy from the Far East in the autumn.

Kelly and Mrs. Helder Sr. and Perxia took good care of them, and although the other vegetables did not grow well in winter, the vegetables such as radish and cabbage still grew very well.

Zhou Nan's family couldn't finish eating, and all three of them picked vegetables here to eat, and even Etinny and them often picked some fresh vegetables from the vegetable garden.

Zhou Nan picked a cabbage, a few radishes, and a cut of yams, which were enough for them to eat at noon.

Back in the main house, Kelvin and the others had already come over and were sitting in the small living room watching TV. Today's TV shows are very monotonous, but young people love them.

For them, being able to see people on TV is very satisfying.

Seeing Zhou Nan coming back, they all had to come over to help, but Zhou Nan refused and sent them to watch TV.

Audrey, wearing leather gloves, took the dishes, beckoned Brentany for help, and the two girls began to prepare.

Zhou Nan was not idle, he first cut two carrots from the vegetable basket, cut two tender corn, added some kelp, filled it with water, and put it on the stove to cook.

When the water boiled, he added a little spice and simmered over low heat. Then put oil in the wok, and squeeze a large bowl of chili, pepper, and star anise as seasonings.

Their tastes are not heavy, and they all like and fear such seasonings. If you don't eat, you want to eat, and when you eat, you are like being tortured, but you still have to eat.

Cut a large plate of the frozen lamb that Kelly had brought in from outside the house in the morning, and the noon dish was ready.

Audrey also learned to steam rice, which was a test of one's skill in the days when there were no pressure cookers and rice cookers. If the heat is not enough, the rice is easy to get raw, and it is easy to paste after the heat.

Audrey has failed countless times and has now learned to steam fragrant rice with a thick layer of golden brown pancakes underneath.

A group of people were already hungry, and when the hot pot boiled, Audrey brought up all the cut dishes, and everyone couldn't wait to start.

Zhou Nan and Glewin were still piping hot high rice wine, and Audrey and the others also warmed a pot of low-alcohol sweet wine, ate a meal for more than an hour, and then helped clean up the mess together.

"Jonas, I'm going to town to see if Kelly is done with their work, do they need to bring anything back?"

"No, you have to drive carefully."

Glewin is old and slow to accept new things. Kelly has learned to drive, he hasn't learned yet, and he can drive like a road killer.

"I don't drive, I sled, it's faster than driving."

With Glewin gone, the group of young men was even more open. Brentany helped Audrey clean up the room, and Zhou Nan took Kelvin and them to the billiards room to teach Zhou Nan to play.

In another life, Zhou Nan only came into contact with billiards after the eighties, he has no left hand, and has always watched others play, but he likes this sport very much, and the billiards program on TV is his favorite to watch except for football.

Now that he has the conditions, when he was arranging the sports room, he first thought of buying a large pool table.

When he has nothing to do, when he is tired of writing, he likes to play for a while. Although the technology is not good, the addiction is great.

While the two of them were playing ball, they chatted about the recent anecdotes, and this kind of communication was very relaxed and comfortable. Casper and Tanif were playing chess by the fireplace, and the two of them were in full swing, louder than Zhou Nan and them.

"Jonas, using a Swiss bank as a financial steward, although it is very formal, but all your wealth is under the nose of other people, are you really used to it?"

"What can I do? I don't have the slightest talent for those numbers, and they're trustworthy, aren't they? ”

Kelvin shook his head and said, "It's not the commercial banks that are really trustworthy, it's the private banks." Many private banks have evolved over the centuries and still follow the same financial management system as they were founded. In terms of security and confidentiality, they are far better than industry banks. ”

"But the flow of funds is inconvenient, and the circle of private banks is too closed." Because of distraction, Zhou Nan did not score a five-point shot in a good position, and sighed regretfully.

"Well, they have far fewer commercial outlets than commercial banks. However, if you have extra funds, it is better to hand over these private banks to help you with your investment business, which is better than commercial banks. This way, no one else will know about your income. ”

His red ball didn't score, and the opportunity went to Zhou Nan's side again. Zhou Nan didn't look at the ball, but looked at him calmly raised his head and asked, "Kelvin, aren't you working in an evaluation agency?" Why are you so enthusiastic about this? ”

Kelvin was a little embarrassed, but he was very calm. "Because my job is to contact with banks, I personally believe that in terms of investment and financial management, the superiority of private banks is greater than that of commercial banks."

"There's no stake here?"

"Nope!"

Zhou Nan aimed at a red ball again and said, "Kelvin, I'll think about this matter, but I hope our relationship can be simpler." ”

He said, "Jonas, I just want to be closer to you." ”

Because of his words, Zhou Nan's request did not go through. He looked up at Kelvin and said, "With a relationship of entangled interests, it is often easy to change qualitatively. ”

Kelvin insisted: "I am confident in my professional ethic, and I am even more reluctant to sacrifice a potentially brilliant life for the sake of profit." Jonas, you're a big shot. Following your side will be more exciting than my current boring life. ”

"Does your dad know about this?"

I mentioned it to him, but he didn't agree. Because he's already a very close person to you, if I work for you as well, the impact may not be too good. ”

"And you're still insisting?"

"Yes, I insist." He leaned down, looked at it for a long time, then stood up straight and said, "I believe that my profession can bring you greater help, and everything can be constrained by the system." ”

"I will consider this matter carefully, and I really lack an expert in investment and financial management around me."

Only then did he relax and say, "Jonas, the credibility of our Stolko family, has never been bankrupt. ”

With the memory of the future, making money is a very simple thing for Zhou Nan, and many large companies that will be world-renowned in the future are still small workshops and have not even appeared. Zhou Nan wants to make money, but it can't be easier.

But any investment is not simply like going to the store and buying a pack of cigarettes, I give you money, and you give me the cigarettes.

The complexity of investing in a company is evident in the investment in Volkswagen. Even with the right time, the right place and the right people, the investment still took half a year to negotiate, and Volkswagen's development is still not on the right track.

He does need someone to be too responsible for this, and although money is not his most important thing, it is more convenient to have money to do many things.

Moreover, this kind of investment can expand his actual influence, and in this influence and control, he can get dividends other than money, such as technology.

Although Kelvin is still young, Zhou Nan is not in a hurry, he has enough time to wait for him to mature. The only thing that needs to be confirmed now is whether he can be trusted.

(I have a cold, and my head is dizzy, and today's chapter is not too well written, please forgive me.) ）
