Coty came to Zhou Nan, of course, not just to find Audrey's spokesperson. This kind of thing can be finalized by letting a middle-level of the perfume company come forward.

He, the big boss behind the scenes, came forward and took out the sweet bait of the spokesperson, of course, it can't really be because he was fascinated by Audrey. This era does not have the clear color photos of later generations, and you can be fascinated just by looking at the photos, and it is impossible for an old man with a wealth of experience like Coty.

As for why, Zhou Nan also had a trace of speculation when he met Coty.

When they decided to work with Le Figaro, Storco and his family learned a little about the majority shareholder, Coty. He was originally a very pro-German right-winger, although now that Germany had lost the war, he was honest again.

When Le Figaro was republished in '44, it also stammered with de Gaulle, and also removed some pro-German remarks, and became a real centrist.

Since they are centrists, they certainly share common interests with the Swiss Free Democratic Party, which is also a centrist. In fact, many of the French parliamentarians introduced by the Liberal Democratic Party have a close relationship with Coty.

Zhou Nan said with a smile: "I wonder if Mr. Coty would like to taste the tea from the East?" ”

"Of course, I have read a report that chemists have tested theophylline contained in tea, which has many benefits for the human body."

Moving from the reception room to the living room of Zhou Nan's room, Audrey took her cherished sketch into the bedroom, and Zhou Nan had Stolco and Etinny as companions.

And Coty apparently understood the meaning of Zhou Nan's invitation, leaving the driver and entourage in the reception room, and only brought Zhou Nan and the deputy editor-in-chief of the newspaper Fryer, whom they knew.

Entering the living room where Zhou Nan and they lived, without Audrey by his side, Coty also returned to his true colors as a tycoon, and said: "Mr. Zhou, it is not only my honor to choose Le Figaro as your base for fame in France, but also the most correct choice you have made. Only a neutral and autonomous position like Le Figaro is the best platform for you to resist repression. ”

Zhou Nanxu said aggrievedly: "Of course, it is for this reason that I chose your newspaper. ”

He raised his hand and said straight to the point: "But I don't think all this is enough, because you are an outsider, and you don't know all the people, so you can only passively bear it." ”

Zhou Nan can indeed only see the moves, he can't not only attack in groups, but also dig deep into the scandals and weaknesses of the other party to make a more powerful attack.

Fryer took out a stack of materials from his bag and said, "Mr. Zhou, we have recently sorted out the recent public opinion reports against you. In addition to the more than 120 academic discussions, there are a total of 37 articles attacking your faith and ethnicity, and five of them are written and smeared, which belong to slander and smear without a bottom line, and we here also have some black histories of their own. ”

Zhou Nan immediately understood that this old fox had come to be his gunman. However, getting along with people, in addition to feelings, is originally a kind of mutual use.

Like his relationship with Weggis, his relationship with the Liberal Democrats, including his relationship with Stolko and Etinny now, it's a kind of mutual exploitation and cooperation.

Being able to be used means that you still have the value of being used.

Zhou Nan didn't look at the information and asked, "Mr. Coty, then, what can you get from this?" You can just leave me behind and do this. ”

Seeing that Zhou Nan was not sanctimonious to block the road, Coty laughed. "I can get far more than you think, Mr. Zhou, the same words, from different people's mouths, written under the pen, the effect is completely different. Except for Paris, do you know the whole of France because you are already boiling? Do you know how famous you are in Europe right now? In France alone, there are more than 20 newspapers that reprint your column every day, and in Europe, there are more than 50 in total. Even in the United States, there are three major media outlets working with us. From you, we have not only earned a lot of money for our manuscripts, but more importantly, we have expanded the influence of our Le Figaro. ”

Zhou Nan shook his head and said, "But I don't think this is the main reason why you came to me, because anyone who is a little famous can detonate these things, and the effect is not necessarily worse than mine." ”

"Of course." "The main reason is that I want to establish a long-term cooperation mechanism with you and your team, and we in Le Figaro can become the main platform for you to speak out in the future, and all you have to do is to use your writing to defeat every enemy," he said frankly. ”

Zhou Nan frowned and said, "Mr. Coty, aren't you a neutral?" ”

"My position has never changed, now it's just a compromise. And your German background, your Swiss identity, I think we have a natural alliance. ”

His ally was fundamentally different from Jean Nord. The alliance with Jean Nord is in line with Zhou Nan's current interests, and there is not much risk.

But the alliance with him is tantamount to choosing to take sides. The current right-wing political parties have to be turtles with shrunken heads, Coty is already sixty or seventy years old and doesn't care about his future, but Zhou Nan has just started, and he definitely can't wade into this troubled water.

In the days to come, with the help of the Marshall Plan, Europe's social and economic recovery was rapid, but since then it has also lost its original proud status and has almost become a puppet of the United States.

Britain's glorious isolation has become history, and it has become the little brother of the United States, and other countries are the only ones who follow the United States.

Germany was divided into two countries, only merged in the nineties, and only paid off its debts in World War II in the 21st century.

Until the establishment of the European Union, it became the leader of the European Union with its economic status, but it still lived in the shadow of the United States.

As for France, this unreliable has always arrogantly wanted to become the master of Europe again, and he still pressed the United States with the Soviet Union at every turn, but he had no choice but to be angry, and he was pressed by Britain at first, and then by Germany, so he was left with only a few screams, and he couldn't even resist.

The right, the left, the wing, whatever the position, will not be easy to do in the future, because everything depends on the face of the United States. It is the right choice to follow the steps of the United States, otherwise, just like Switzerland, I will play my own behind closed doors, and no one will care.

Before 49 years, the shadow of World War II had not dissipated, and if you wanted to play tricks at this time, you would only be spanked by the United States. Only when the curtain of the Cold War was opened, at that time, did the right-wing become the mainstream of Europe again.

Therefore, Zhou Nan refused without hesitation and said: "Mr. Coty, the Liberal Democratic Party is a neutral party, and we can fight back against slander, but we will never do anything beyond this scope."

Stolko was originally afraid that Zhou Nan would not be able to see the situation clearly, so he recklessly agreed, but at this time he couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief and nodded at Zhou Nan.

As for Etinny, although he is in his thirties, he still has not understood the meaning of Coty's words.

Coty only shrugged his shoulders regretfully, and said, "I know your party's consistent position, although this is the case, but in our personal opinion, there is still a lot of cooperation...... For example, this time the battle of public opinion. ”

……

……

After sending off Coty and his party, Zhou Nan looked at the stack of materials, but did not move for a long time.

Audrey saw the guest leave, came out of the bedroom, snuggled in Zhou Nan's arms, stretched out her index finger to help Zhou Nan iron out her frowning brows, and said in a coquettish voice: "Jonas, I don't want you to be sad......"

Zhou Nan hugged her delicate body and smiled: "It's okay, I'm just a little unaccustomed to my current life." This kind of life is not what I want, but it seems to be a necessary process for my life. ”

"We can stay in Weggis, run our ranch and live in peace."

Zhou Nan smiled: "Don't you want to be famous? ”

She shook her head and said, "I want to be famous just because you seem to be getting farther and farther away from me, and I want to catch up with you." Jonas, I just want to live with you and live godly with you for the rest of my life. Whether you are happy or poor, rich or poor, good or bad, healthy or sick, I will respect you, help you, care for you, and love you with all my heart. Loyal to you for life. ”

It was a Christian vow, but it was used by her to express her feelings to herself. Zhou Nan was moved, but sighed and said, "Audrey, after my book is published, we can no longer have a peaceful life. Not only do we have the responsibility of having two families, but also the fact that there are so many supporters around me, like Stolko and Etinny, who will push us forward. ”

She looked up at Stolko and Etinny, who were smiling with smiles, and arched coquettishly in Zhou Nan's arms, and said crookedly: "Then don't frown, I think you are happy every day." ”

"Okay, I promise you. You go learn Chinese first, and I'll come over to accompany you later. Tomorrow we will go to Paris for a walk and get a taste of the charm of the city. ”

"Okay......" kissed Zhou Nan on the forehead, and she stood up straight. Then I'm going to get ready for tomorrow's trip. ”

When she left, Etinny smiled and said, "You should indeed go out for a stroll, only by being the focus of the media, can Audrey's purpose of coming to Paris be achieved." ”

Zhou Nan nodded and said: "Ludwig, check the identities of these five people, whether there is a particularly hard backstage, what position they belong to, and then see what contradictions there are between them and Coty." ”

Stolko nodded and said, "We can work with Coty, but we must not be taken advantage of by him." ”

There was a sound of footsteps in the hallway, and Pierre's voice came in. "Mr. Zhou, I have returned from Arnhem, and Mrs. Hemstra has come with me."
