"Mr. Toynbee, Jonas, the time has come."

Zhou Nanfeifei's hand that was writing quickly paused, sighed and said, "It seems that our topic today can only go so far, fortunately, there is still time to ask you for advice in the evening." ”

Toynbee laughed and said, "Personally, I think that the idea of Juche development and religious propagation during the Eastern and Western Roman Empires, including the relationship between kingship and theocracy, has been described clearly enough in your book. If you really want to dig deeper, it's enough to write another book. ”

The other day, Toynbee locked himself in his room, and Zhou Nan thought he was a philosopher with quirks. But now I realize that his thinking is still relatively normal, and he is also very peaceful with people, of course, this may also be because he recognizes Zhou Nan, and he will still be a little arrogant about others.

In the face of Entlebuch, he behaved very coldly. "Mr. Entlebuch, can you tell me about the seminar?"

Entlebuch immediately handed over a form, but Toynbee didn't understand German, so Zhou Nan took it and read it, and he introduced it to Toynbee in English.

The title of the symposium is the World Economic Forum that Zhou Nan said, and the subtitle is "The Connection between History and the Present" that Zhou Nan wrote at random, which is also the main topic of today's seminar.

Tomorrow morning, however, there will be two topics: "The Economic Trend of Various Countries after World War II" and "How to Deal with the Crisis."

Tomorrow afternoon, according to the situation in the room, all discussions will be concluded by 6 p.m.

Because this seminar was mainly led by Zhou Nan and Toynbee, Zhou Nan also got the qualification of a founder. This is what Zhou Nan really cared about, and for this qualification, he also donated 5,000 Swiss francs and arranged three meals for all the attendees.

Later, the World Economic Forum really became the World Economic Forum that influenced the whole world, and no one dared to challenge his authority at that time.

From the moment he joined the Liberal Democratic Party, he felt the power of the organization, the power of the system. This gave him a taste of organization, so he will continue to operate in this area in the future.

The World Economic Forum is one, and the other is to join the ranks of the European masters as soon as possible, at that time, no one can bully him, either academically or politically.

Although Entlebuch hung a World Economic Forum slogan on the roadside below the hillside, the venue was anything but lofty.

There were all sorts of chairs and stools collected from the town, and they were arranged in rows in a freshly cut meadow. The meadow is not flat, but borrows a gentle hillside.

The rostrum was not placed at the top, but at the bottom, and all the people could look condescendingly from the top to watch the people below speak.

By this time, the crowd had almost arrived, and the scene was very noisy, and hundreds of townspeople had already come from elsewhere to see the lively residents, and the children were scurrying around.

The makeshift rostrum is also very simple, with only two chairs and a long table. Two microphones were placed on the long table, and two heavy speakers were placed on either side of the podium.

The two chairs and the long table belonged to Zhou Nan and Toynbee, but the two of them discussed it and decided that it was better not to sit on the chair when speaking.

At half past two, the meeting officially began, and Entlebuch played the role of moderator, and even a deputy mayor of Lucerne did not have the opportunity to speak, but could only play a position in the first row.

Entlebuch's speech was very simple, briefly explaining the reasons for the launch of today's seminar, and then introducing the fact that the town of Weggis attaches great importance to such an opportunity and will overcome difficulties to continue to hold such forums in the future.

He then announced the official opening of the workshop.

Before Zhou Nan came to power, he was still a little weak, but at this time, his heart had completely calmed down. In another life, he not only suffered criticism in front of thousands of people, but also preached in front of hundreds of disciples, and he could be regarded as having a process of psychological adaptation to such a showmanship.

He got up from his chair, took the microphone off the table, and walked to the front of the stage with it. His eyes swept over the hundreds of people in front of him, and then he spoke: "What is history?" History is a process of constant interaction between history and facts, a never-ending dialogue between the present and the past. History is not the past, history is the present, and my words now will become history in five minutes, so am I history or the present? ”

Without opening remarks, Zhou Nan directly began his speech. The first sentence aroused the enthusiasm of the audience, and many experts who did not understand German also applauded when they listened to their friend's translation. Even Toynbee couldn't help but applaud this sentence.

Zhou Nan paused for a moment, and then continued: "My understanding of Mr. Toynbee has become history, but my friendship with Mr. Toynbee is now, so our friendship originates from history and takes place in the present, and our friendship is the interaction between history and the present. So when we study history, we are not studying the past, but we are studying the present. Only by studying the essence of history can we understand the essence of real existence. It is an endless dialogue, a reflection and analysis of our own existence, an affirmation of self-affirmation and negation, the root of our ability to see the essence of the world. ”

Zhou Nan left time for everyone to think and translate, but ushered in a round of warm applause. Obviously, Zhou Nan's opening remarks were not prejudiced because of his youth and because of his unknown origin.

It's the weekend, and Audrey and Stephanie don't have a rehearsal, sitting on the edge of the venue. Not far in front of them was their history teacher, Fierstoke, who applauded enthusiastically like a fan, his face flushed with excitement.

Audrey's heart is full of pride, although she also likes Jonas who is usually tender and sweet in bed, but at this time, Jonas seems to be more charming.

Stephanie couldn't help but sigh softly as she looked at Audrey who was looking sweetly at Jonas below. The more I came into contact with Jonas, the more I envied Audrey.

Why can't I meet a man like Jonas?

After the opening remarks, Zhou Nan solemnly introduced Toynbee to everyone. Most of the people present came here because of Toynbee, so Toynbee's appearance received a lot of applause.

Now Zhou Nan is just a young man who has been praised out, and most people don't know what his talent is, that is, a piece of music, which makes his talent in music known to the world, but this is far from being compared with Toynbee.

The two of them had a casual conversation in front of the stage, and then they turned to the topic of today's seminar: "The Relationship between History and the Present."

Toynbee was a historian, and in this day and age, a historian is never just a historian. If you want to make achievements in history, then you must have convincing talents in philosophy, humanities, and economics at the same time, so that you can be recognized by everyone in terms of talent.

But Toynbee also has a shortcoming, that is, although his thoughts are profound, some are too profound, or too profound.

He was not a scholar who was good at explaining his talents in simple terms, and his knowledge was never understood by the world in a way that everyone could easily understand.

His books have always been profound and esoteric, and there are not many people who can easily read his books except professionals. Each of his papers must be explained by professionals before they can be understood by ordinary people.

This is also a bit of a high and low meaning.

Zhou Nan is different, whether it is history or philosophy, later generations can use a simple model to elaborate. Especially in economics, in this era, economics is simply a more boring study than mathematics, but later generations have used various models and cases to elaborate, so that many knowledge of economics has become more in-depth.

Therefore, Zhou Nan's talent can immediately impress Toynbee, not because his theories are really incomparable, but because the history he writes is interesting, the philosophy he talks about is easy to understand, and the economics he discusses can be understood by any ordinary person.

This talent is what most historians and philosophers of this era could not do, and it is also the place where Toynbee really admired Zhou Nan.

The reason why Entlebuch was able to be overwhelmed by Zhou Nan's talent was also because Zhou Nan said the truth, so he could understand it at once, so he was called the first disciple of Zhou Nan.

The two of them are on stage, you say a word to me, talking about history and the present, what Toynbee said, many people can't understand, but Zhou Nan can always find a simple way to express his meaning clearly.

The two-hour conversation drew more than 30 rounds of applause, and everyone had a feeling that the trip was worth it. The atmosphere at the scene also made these reporters extremely excited, and those text reporters simply didn't want to give up any paragraph, because the dialogue between Toynbee and Zhou Nan was simply a classic.

After giving a lesson to everyone, it's time for the two of them to face these experts and scholars face each other. The staff collected representative questions and handed them to Zhou Nan and Toynbee, who answered them one by one.

This process took about an hour, and the two of them answered twenty or thirty theoretical questions one by one, but at this time, it was mainly Toynbee who was answering the questions, and Zhou Nan's face, or fame, could not really convince the public at this time.

The last session was the time to face the reporters' questions, and the front of the rostrum was immediately crowded, and almost every reporter handed over his own small note.
