That night, Zhou Nan and Hughes made a detailed plan for the development of Hughes Aircraft Company.

Although Zhou Nan did not understand the technology of the aircraft, he knew the direction of the development of the aircraft. With his gatekeeping, Hughes Aircraft Company would not have fallen victim to Hughes's stubborn character like in another life.

Today, the first phase of Hughes Aircraft Company has invested more than $20 million in South China, and more than 1,000 engineers have been assigned to work in South China from the United States alone.

In addition, the Dutch Fokker Aircraft Company, with the support of the bank, is also cooperating with Hughes Aircraft Company to share resources in certain technologies and prepare to build an aircraft company.

Fokker Aircraft Company has disappeared in later generations, but in this era, it is still a star enterprise among the world's airlines. Fokker has world-leading experience in both medium-sized aircraft construction and helicopter construction.

Nanhua is an island country, and the market for short-haul regional flights is very large, and Fokker also wants to occupy the market in Nanhua, which is located in the center of the region.

Rolls-Royce's engines, Fokker and Hughes's aircraft companies, the cooperation of these three companies will directly drive the competitiveness of Nanhua in the aviation field.

In four or five years, when Nanhua's local talent education can keep up, at that time, these companies will increase their talent pool and long-term competitiveness.

Zhou Nan did not dare to expect Nanhua to compete with Boeing and Airbus in the future, because one of these two companies is the United States, and the other is backed by the European Union.

The manufacturing cost of large aircraft, research and development technology, are too resource-intensive.

However, in the field of fighter jets, regional aircraft, and helicopters, relying on the current foundation, it is not necessarily impossible to compete in the future.

Popler They carried out a meticulous cleaning of the luxurious room where Zhou Nan lived, and Zhou Nan was not worried in the past, because the bugging device had not yet been invented, and the bugging device was still relatively backward.

But electronics have advanced rapidly in the past two years, with the academic community holding an anti-nuclear weapons seminar in London last month. Several new bugs were installed at the meeting, and it is still unknown which country did it.

This is also the first time that someone has used high-tech technology to eavesdrop, and before the development of anti-eavesdropping devices, everyone is now talking cautiously, for fear that their words will be heard.

Hughes was still laughing at Zhou Nan's lack of soldiers, but when Popler and the others found a bugging device from the curtain box above the windowsill, he couldn't laugh.

Their conversations are not afraid of eavesdropping by government departments, but they are most afraid of eavesdropping by competitors. If a competitor goes toe-to-toe with their layout, it can cause them great losses.

Audrey and Taylor learn to accommodate each other after an unharmonious afternoon of meetings. The two of them went shopping together like a pair of good friends, and in the process of shopping, they quickly established a relationship.

Although this kind of relationship is likely to be a plastic flower friendship, at least, Zhou Nan and Hughes will not worry about the news of disagreement between them.

After shopping once, Audrey also spent a little money and gave Taylor a small gift, and then the two quickly became acquainted.

Sometimes, women build relationships much faster than men.

Early the next morning, Hughes went to the training ground. Although his body is much stronger than the average person, his opponent is the heavyweight world champion who weighs 90 kilograms.

At such a tense time, he didn't have much time to hang out with Zhou Nan, and he was at ease preparing for the big battle the day after tomorrow.

Although it began to snow heavily again in New York, this did not stop the enthusiasm of the American people in the slightest.

The current Madison Square Garden is the third generation, originally built as a boxing ring, and as for the New York Knicks, they just made it their home stadium the year before last.

In the United States, the most popular sport is football, followed by baseball, and then there are various sports such as ice hockey, tennis, and motor racing that come ahead of basketball.

According to Zhou Nan's understanding, the invention of basketball was because blacks were not allowed to appear on the football field, so whites invented basketball for blacks and let them have a sport of their own.

Although it is not known whether this news is true or not, and no white person will admit it, it was indeed a lower-class sport in the first fifty years of basketball's invention.

Rugby League has only allowed black people on a rugby pitch for the first time in 47 years, and last year, the matter attracted worldwide attention.

After Zhou Nan bought Arsenal, Helder also made a plan to invest in sports. In this plan, it is mentioned that if Zhou Nan wants to rely on sports to expand his fame and make himself closer to fans, in addition to investing in football, he can also invest in American football and baseball, but there is no basketball.

Because basketball is a black sport, and blacks make up only 10 percent of the U.S. population, and all of them are inferior, investing in basketball will only be detrimental to Zhou's image rather than beneficial.

It won't be until 30 years before the NBA really develops.

The reason why Jordan is called the god of basketball is not that his ball skills are better than the previous Chamberlain, but because he relies on him, basketball has become a world sport, rather than a competitive game for black Americans to entertain themselves.

Therefore, the NBA in the United States in this era is really not a national competition. Although Madison Square Garden became the home of the Knicks, whenever there were other games or performances, the Knicks had to play elsewhere.

And boxing matches are the most popular matches in this era.

Especially this year's competition, not only will there be as many as eleven world-class boxers, but also Hughes, an American national icon, will participate, and the ticket price has been speculated to sky-high.

When boxing is held, Madison Square Garden has 21,500 seats. Under the ring, the ticket price of the near-court seat has been speculated to a maximum of 1,000 US dollars a piece.

In this era, this is indeed a sky-high price, equivalent to the annual income of an ordinary person.

According to statistics, this game, just the ticket money, can reach 450,000 US dollars.

Of course, the newspapers were full of criticism that Hughes was a bit self-conscious, as he crossed two divisions to challenge Joe Luis after defeating welterweight champion LaMota.

To get Louis to agree to his challenge, he also paid out of his own pocket and offered a hundred thousand dollars as a reward.

If Louis wins, he has an extra $80,000 to take, and even if he loses, he has $20,000 to take.

And Robinson, the middleweight boxing champion and the most famous boxing champion in the United States, who is also going to participate in this competition, is not optimistic about Hughes.

In his opinion, Hughes is still far from himself, and skipping the challenge will only make him suffer for himself.

Although Louis is thirty-five years old, his experience and strength should not be comparable to Hughes.

Zhou Nan didn't think Hughes had a chance to win, he came to see this game just want to see Hughes beaten.

This guy just needs to suffer some setbacks before he knows that the sky is high and the earth is thick.

The next day, Zhou Nangang took a day in New York and admired this era, like a big construction site in Manhattan, New York.

Then it was occupied by a succession of visitors, the mayor of New York, members of Congress, and even Hoover, the most powerful man in the United States in this era.

A man who ascended to the throne of FBI director at the age of 29 and from then on completely controlled the domestic power in the United States.

Moreover, he has sat in this position for 48 years, and during his tenure, the United States has changed 8 presidents and 16 prosecutors general, but no one can defeat him.

It wasn't until he died in office that the FBI changed its director.

When he was in power, the FBI had been pressing the CIA, and even the president of the United States was afraid of this guy, because no one knew how much black material he had in his hands.

Zhou Nan was visiting Rockefeller Center when he got the news of his visit. Then he said goodbye directly to the director of the art center, and he had no idea of buying a few famous paintings.

In this era, many works of art are not expensive, and investing in art has always been a very valuable investment.

But compared to Hoover, these works of art immediately lost their allure.

Because of Hoover's arrival, the top of the rock at Rockefeller Center has been sealed. This famous viewing platform overlooks most of New York and is not as tall as the Empire State Building, but it has a better angle because it is located in the middle of New York.

But at this time, only Zhou Nan and Hoover were left on the cold and windy roof, and everyone else followed them from a distance.

This was not the first meeting between Zhou Nan and Hoover, who had also appeared once when Zhou Nan and Marshall were finalizing the European revival plan in Washington, but the two men did not have an in-depth conversation at the time.

Although Hoover's power is great, it is mainly reflected in internal investigation and law enforcement powers. There is no direct connection with Zhou Nan, a foreign leader.

But he came to see Zhou Nan this time, obviously with his own purpose. Zhou Nan didn't think he had any handle in his hands, so he didn't have the slightest fear of him.

After a brief greeting, facing the snowflakes falling from the sky, Hoover asked as if casually: "Mr. Zhou, my people have recently discovered a strange thing, there are many Chinese Americans who were originally relatively peaceful in the United States, but recently, they have been paying more attention to the whereabouts of Senator Joseph Raymond McCarthy of Wisconsin, although they have not taken any action against Senator McCarthy, but I have to suspect that this action is related to South China." Excuse me, can I get an answer from you? ”

Zhou Nan's heart sank, but he showed a bright smile and said: "You seem to have asked the wrong person, as the deputy secretary general of the Swiss Federal Council, I do not hold any position in Nanhua. Not to mention that I don't know if what you said is true, whether it has anything to do with Nanhua, and even if it has something to do with Nanhua, it has nothing to do with me. ”
