Regarding Zhou Nan's investment, even Caroline didn't say anything anymore. Zhou Nan doesn't have too many hobbies, and he is not a person who likes to enjoy, and the money he earns doesn't have any big expenses except for spending it on his new home and forming his own team.

Rather than asking Zhou Nan to donate a huge amount of money, Caroline would rather see him make some investments for himself. Regardless of whether the investment succeeds or fails, after all, there is still an industry of its own.

Donate it, and nothing will fall except a good name.

And celebrities like Zhou Nan can't help but donate. In the West, if a businessman has a reputation for being rich and unkind, it is a stain that cannot be washed away for a lifetime, let alone a celebrity like Zhou Nan who pays attention to fame.

Audrey doesn't value money now, she has been taken care of by Zhou Nan since she was a child, although she is not very rich, but she has never been short of money.

When people can maintain basic living security, people's desire for things outside the body will naturally fade. Therefore, idealists are often born more among the middle class.

In modern times, most of the revolutionaries in the East and the West were born into this class.

What's more, Zhou Nan provided Audrey with more than just a worry-free life.

They have a home that's even more beautiful than the average park, and they have a fashion company that can tailor the most beautiful fashion for them. They also have the great prestige brought by Zhou Nan, and the respect and presence brought by Zhou Nan's high position.

In such an environment, Audrey could not become a woman who had to compete with each other.

She didn't even care about how much money Zhou Nan was going to invest, because she was also a little rich woman now, and the $50,000 endorsement fee she earned from Coty Perfume didn't even spend a penny, all of which were stored in the bank account.

In her opinion, the $50,000 is enough for them to live on for a lifetime, and worrying about money is the stupidest thing to do.

"Jonas, you know what? The Venice Film Festival is about to begin. Melissa's dad also has a villa on the island of Lido, as well as a private beach, and we have decided to go to the island of Lido for a holiday first, and then to Rome at the end. ”

In such matters, Zhou Nan always follows her wishes. "On this trip, I will listen to you everything, you say go to Lido Island, we will go to Lido Island."

"Lido Island is said to have the best beach in Italy, but I haven't played on the beach yet," she said wistfully. It's fun to think about. ”

Zhou Nan smiled: "If you like islands, we will buy a beautiful private island in Southeast Asia in the future, so that you can go on a long vacation every year." ”

"You're so nice...... I'm so blessed! ”

Jean Nord looked at Zhou Nan and asked, "Why Southeast Asia?" Do you still need to spend your own money to buy an island over there? ”

Zhou Nan smiled: "If there is such an opportunity, it is not impossible to support the local economy." ”

He laughed and said, "I'm afraid you don't have a chance to spend your money." ”

As a semi-professional politician, his knowledge of the situation in the world is not at all comparable to that of the average person. He was well aware of Zhounan's cooperation and use in the United Kingdom, the Netherlands, and Southeast Asia.

At present, Zhou Nan has no interests in Southeast Asia, but it is precisely because of his detachment that all parties can accept him as a person in the middle.

The Netherlands and Britain needed someone like Zhou Nan to appease the local population and prevent the local population from being stained red by the Soviet Union. And the Chinese there also need a weighty person, someone who understands Western politics to give them some guidance, so the current Zhou Nan is valued by all parties.

Because of a lot of publicity, the Chinese in Southeast Asia regard Zhou Nan as their hope for their rise. The first batch of students has already arrived in Switzerland, and the second group of hundreds of students has also travelled from Southeast Asia to Europe to study at universities in the Netherlands with the support of the Dutch government.

In Southeast Asia, Zhou Nan's fame has been recognized and even worshiped by most Chinese. If he goes to Southeast Asia now, he will definitely arouse a strong response and welcome there.

It's just that before the current situation is stable, it is not suitable for him to go to Southeast Asia, and only when the situation in Southeast Asia becomes clear, the Netherlands and the United Kingdom, including the United States, will let Zhou Nan get involved.

Just like this European revival plan, although Zhou Nan is the initiator, Zhou Nan cannot be involved in the distribution of benefits. Only when the benefits are distributed, then Zhou Nan is needed to stabilize the situation.

The same is true in Southeast Asia.

The Netherlands allowed Zhou Nan to contribute to the Chinese in macroeconomic control, but did not allow him to exert his influence on specific affairs.

They used Zhou Nan as a banner to win people's hearts. However, when distributing benefits, Zhou Nan has been warned openly and secretly that no matter what decisions are made, the interests of the Netherlands must be taken care of.

It is better to act in the interests of the Netherlands. And Zhou Nan also wanted to borrow the banner of the Netherlands to deal with the hegemony of the United States and the Soviet Union, so the interests of the two sides were the same, and now the cooperation is happy.

In this way, it seems that Zhou Nan has suffered a little bit and cannot participate in real decision-making, but in fact, this positioning is the most suitable for Zhou Nan.

Only in this way will he not become the target of attention of all parties, nor will he become a scapegoat because of his interests.

Zhou Nan's rapid rise, coupled with his relatively simple personality, made Nord quite satisfied with this partner.

In more than a year, Zhou Nan has already formed its own pattern and sphere of influence. Now European countries can easily control Zhou Nan, but as Zhou Nan's power becomes more and more stable, as long as he does not become a public outrage, he will become more and more safe.

Melissa got along well with the family, and he didn't worry about his own aftermath anymore.

After a long journey, Zhou Nan was also a little tired, and he didn't write a book at night, but just listened to Stolko's one-day work report, and washed up and rested.

In normal times, Audrey will inevitably be coquettish again at night, saying that her legs hurt when she was shopping and asked for a massage. But today he was very well-behaved, helped Zhou Nan put the bath water, waited for him to take a bath, and said some interesting things about shopping today, and the two of them rested peacefully.

Early the next morning, the convoy departed from Jean-Nord's villa near San Siro and headed to the city of Venice in northeastern Italy.

Since ancient times, Italy has been rich in the north and poor in the south. If you look at the map of Italy, you can see that Italy is mountainous, and only a large area in the north, centered on Milan, belongs to the fertile alluvial plain.

The fertile land is nourished by the snow-melted rivers in the Alps, and the north is also a famous mining region in Italy, so even though Rome is the largest city in Italy, Milan is the richest city in Italy.

Today's Milan is not like later generations, where a large urban area generates 25% of Italy's economic benefits, but the area around Milan is still much richer than the rest of Italy.

In the minibus, let Nord sit in front of Zhou Nan, heard Zhou Nan praise the fertile land here, turned his head and said: "Jonas, Italy's influence on the European continent is second only to France, but your influence here is far lower than that of other regions. On the one hand, there are too many celebrities in Italy, and people here don't have a high sense of celebrity worship, and on the other hand, you haven't been able to establish a wider connection with Italy. ”

Zhou Nan shook his head and said, "I don't have such a chance either...... I don't want to accommodate the Italians in some matters in order to increase a little influence. They are so romantic......"

Jean Nord smiled: "Of course, Italy's political affairs cannot be mixed, their cabinet will be changed in less than a year, and no one can adapt to Italy." But, have you ever thought about anything else? ”

Zhou Nan took his eyes back from the car window and was interested in chatting. He gently patted Audrey, who was leaning on him and teasing Lily, Audrey willingly got out of the way, Zhou Nan stood up and changed places with Melissa, and she happily sat with Audrey.

Zhou Nan sat down next to Jean Nord and asked, "Anything else?" What are you referring to? ”

Jean Nord smiled and said, "For example,...... Football! ”

Zhou Nan was still guessing what he meant, but this time he understood everything. Jean Nord did not want him to rely on political action to expand his influence in Italy, but wanted him to use the popularity of football to increase his fame.

It is difficult to make money by relying on the football project, but it can rely on the appreciation of assets brought by this industry, and it makes more money by relying on operation.

It's like buying a store to open a small store, opening it for a few years, and finding that it didn't make much money, but finding that the store has increased in value several times.

Of course, because of the different eras, Zhou Nan didn't know much about football in this era. In another life, he only started watching football in the eighties.

As for the national team, he has always been a fan of the German team. But when it comes to clubs and individuals, he likes a lot of them, and he doesn't have a particular favorite.

AC Milan in Serie A, Manchester United in the Premier League, Bayern Munich in the Bundesliga, and Chelsea in the decade of the new century are all his favorite teams.

Players from Maradona at the beginning, to Baggio, Maldini, Zidane, he also likes it very much.

Maybe it's because he's older, but the teams and players he likes are that steady, mature, hot-blooded, and disciplined style.

In the era when Da Luo and Xiao Luo are all over the world, he also prefers players like Totti and Maldini. As for the later Ronaldo and Messi, one has enthusiasm and dares to fight but is profligate, and the other is talented and loyal but lacks a spirit, so he doesn't like it.

Jean Nord's proposal also made Zhou Nan a little moved, he has mixed enough in politics, and he should also disperse his development direction.

He doesn't know how to do business, but being the owner of a club can have a very big effect on his fame.

After all, this is the number one sport in the world!

He thought for a moment and asked, "Let me guess, what you want to mention to me is Inter Milan?" ”
