The area of the ranch and the main house is separated by a wood, and through the woods, is the newly planned guest room, the design of the guest room is a large living room on the first floor, and then there are several single rooms, while the second and third floors are two suites, enough for a family of five.

Directly south of the guest rooms is Villa Senal, while the planned main house is located in the southeast, almost exactly an equilateral triangle.

Because the size of the guest rooms was deliberately expanded, the design of the main building did not pursue luxury. Both houses are in the standard Swiss country style, but with a slight difference.

The rooms are of a square and ordinary style, with a masonry structure on the first floor, a log structure on the second and third floors, and only a fireplace heating passage in the middle, which is made of brick and stone.

The main building, on the other hand, is a zigzag building, with a concrete frame on the first floor to facilitate the installation of floor-to-ceiling glazing, and a popular wooden truss structure on the second and third floors.

The first floor is the living room, which is convenient for changing shoes and clothes, and the second floor is a specially built glass room.

However, winters in Switzerland are very cold, and heavy snow often falls as high as a person, so you can't use a flat top design, only a sloped roof.

Floor-to-ceiling glass is still a luxury in this era, and the price is very high. The south wall on the first floor and the glass house on the second floor cost as much as the price of an ordinary house.

Zhou Nan didn't know it originally, but when he saw their offer at this time, he regretted it a little. However, as a big celebrity, it seems that he is a little too petty to regret it because of the price.

With the overall design and construction, Zhou Nan will have to shell out another 300,000 Swiss francs this time, which is equivalent to two-thirds of the price of the farm. But Entlerbuch and they all thought it was a reasonable price, and Zhou Nan accepted it.

In fact, the construction cost of the house is not high, mainly to lay sewers and level the horse road in the farm, plus the construction of a ring road, so the cost is greatly increased.

Since it has been decided to build a new house, it is necessary to start construction quickly, and if winter comes, the main structure is not well built, then it will not be built until next spring.

On the other hand, if the main body can be built before the winter comes, the decoration and decoration behind it can also be carried out in the winter, and you can move in in December.

It took four days to finally implement the construction plan for the new house, and Zhou Nan paid part of the funds to Coatbus Architects, and they acted quickly.

Zhou Nan is rich. Since his return, Hlein and the party bigwigs have also come to the Villa Sennar as guests. They not only communicated with Zhou Nan about various issues, but also sent Zhou Nan a check that far exceeded his expectations.

The first edition of the General History of the World was printed in German, French, and Italian alone, and in the first and second volumes, 1.2 million copies.

This is equivalent to Zhou Nan's gross income of 2.4 million yuan, and after deducting 15 percent of the income to be given to the party, Zhou Nan can still have an income of more than 2 million.

Because the income is well above the Swiss average, according to Swiss law, Zhou Nan is required to pay 14 percent federal tax, 6 percent cantonal tax, and 2 percent local tax.

However, due to the economic benefits of Zhounan's fame, in addition to the federal tax, the canton of Lucerne and the small town of Weegis unanimously decided to exempt Zhounan from this tax.

Moreover, it is necessary to deduct the cost of Zhou Nan's construction of the house this time, and the rest of the money needs to be taxed, and even these money do not need to be paid now, you can wait until April next year to pay together.

The staff of the bank and Entler Buch explained to Zhou Nan for a long time, and Zhou Nan was dizzy and didn't really understand how much tax he needed to pay, which was less than he expected anyway.

However, this is not Zhou Nan's only income. Because the number of prints in these three languages is still increasing, the royalties of the other language versions are also about to be collected.

Not to mention those small language versions, the print run is not much, at most tens of thousands of copies. But Arabic, Spanish, Portuguese, and, with the most printed English, will bring Zhou Nan far more income than he does now.

Zhou Nan seemed to listen to a book from heaven, and after their explanations, he didn't understand how much money he could earn now and how much tax he had to pay.

Representatives of the Swiss bank and the party were laughing and crying, believing that God had given Zhou Nan a different brain and deprived him of his sensitivity to numbers. They could only suggest to Zhou Nan that he should find a professional accountant.

Zhou Nan is indeed unspiritual about these things, and in his opinion, these numbers are more difficult than those complex international relations.

However, in the end, he only understood one thing, and that was if the second volume of the "General History of the World" could maintain such sales, and if sales in the United States continued to increase. The foreign debt he owes more than 5 million yuan may be paid off before the end of the year.

On the recommendation of the bank, he also found an accounting firm to help him manage his accounts. Because in addition to these royalties, he now has a team to run, and all expenses have to be paid through him.

There is still a company with good development prospects on the side of the country, and without a professional team of accountants, all income, expenses, and taxes cannot be sorted out at all.

After dealing with the money, Zhou Nan only left the money for the construction of the house and the cost of maintaining the family's expenses, and the rest of the money was repaid to the bank first.

He has never owed money to others, and now he owes a lot of money, and he thinks about it every day, and it feels really uncomfortable.

Although only a small part of the foreign debt was repaid this time, Zhou Nan also felt a lot more relaxed, and when he read the information at night, his thoughts were much clearer.

Deliberately dragging it out for a few days, he handed over Princess Eliza's thesis on the topic of the development of international relations in the Commonwealth countries to Anderson, and asked him to take it back to England and give it to the princess.

Then, he devoted all his energy to translating his works in Chinese, and was about to go to the Soviet Union, through which he also hoped to be sent back to China.

Whether or not these theories can be endorsed by them, it is also a signal of their own goodwill.

He was happy every day, but Audrey was a little depressed. Because the day after she came back, she was driven to school by her mother, and now she goes to school early and late every day like an ordinary student.

However, it was only a little depressed. Because Audrey knew very well that if she wanted to keep up with Jonas, she had to continue to enrich herself.

Stephanie doesn't have such good conditions for herself, she went to the United States to fight for her dreams, she has support from all sides, if she doesn't study hard, not only will she never be able to keep up with Jonas, but she will also be disappointed with her mother's expectations.

During the day, the two of them are busy with their own work, but at night, the two of them like to get tired of being together.

Zhou Nan also installed a small desk for Audrey in the study, and he read the information and wrote a summary.

Audrey, on the other hand, was doing her homework with a sad face......

At this time, it is often when Audrey feels that God is the most unfair, Zhou Nan himself has not gone to college, but Yannick teaches him at home, but his current level has become a visiting professor at the university.

I worked so hard, listened carefully every day, and actively asked the teacher, but I felt that these high school homework stumped me.

Therefore, at this time, she also likes to toss Zhou Nan the most, she is thirsty for a while, tired for a while, wants to eat fruit for a while, and wants to eat biscuits for a while.

Seeing Zhou Nan serving himself willingly, it was sweeter than anything else.

Zhou Nan also likes to spoil her, she has been injured for more than two months, she has been taking care of herself, and now she is coquettish, and she should take care of her by herself.

Taking care of her in this way did not bore him, on the contrary, he was happy to feel her dependence on him and highlight his presence.

However, when the construction of the new home officially began, the tranquility of the peninsula was destroyed.

First of all, in addition to a thin layer of soil, the peninsula is covered with rocks. To build a roundabout road, explosives are needed for the foundation.

Secondly, there were many more construction workers here, some digging foundations, some opening roads, and some building wooden trusses. At its peak, more than a hundred people poured in.

On the south side of the hill of the main house, at the top of the peninsula, a cave was dug on the hill, in which two cannons were erected, and several base shells were allocated. For the safety of these munitions, the military department also sent people to guard them.

Add to that the daily visitors and the reporters who stay outside, and the peninsula is bustling with activity.

Zhou Nan wanted to go out to the hospital for time, but Audrey was still in school, so she had to give up the plan.

It was at this time that Helde and his family finally arrived in Switzerland from Germany.

He had three children, the eldest of whom was married, so he was not among the Britons who were allowed to leave the country. He and his wife, Percha, came to Switzerland with his elderly mother and two children.

His second daughter, Brentani, had also entered university, but because of the war, she did not complete her studies. As for the youngest son, Tanif, he should enter high school this year.

The farm is now a large construction site, so the family is temporarily living in Slooney's house. Zhou Nan gave him the same salary level as Storko for the time being, and subsidized most of the rent, so that he had no pressure to live.

According to his income, the family of five is enough to live, but her wife and second daughter, Brentany, hope to find a job.

However, Zhou Nan's current manpower is still lacking, his wife temporarily follows Kelly to help, and his daughter also follows Rotentum to study and become a secretary in the future.

As for Tanif, Zhou Nan came forward to make a phone call to the principal of Audrey's school, and arranged for him to enter the school to observe first. When their household registration is completed, they will become official students.

The arrival of Helde also completely liberated Zhou Nan, and he did not need to waste any more energy in business. Although Halder is in charge of the overall situation and is responsible for all the business management of Zhou Nan, he is not involved in finance, so he is not afraid that he will become a big rat.

The first thing Helder had to deal with when he arrived was to assist Stolko in negotiating with the Soviets on the transportation of grain.

Stolko was just a politician who didn't understand business operations, and at this time, there was no more suitable person than Holder.
