These few days of the Spring Festival are rare and idle days in southern Zhou. The economic forum is about to be held, and everyone knows that Zhou Nan is very busy, and no one comes to harass him at this time.

But he left the administration to the organizing committee and Entlebuch, and there wasn't much to worry about at all.

Since the second economic forum, the Swiss government has officially supported the holding of the forum, and this year it sent a team and approved a large amount of funds to hold the forum.

The Swiss government-sponsored funds have added a complete set of simultaneous interpretation equipment to the conference center, each seat is equipped with a headset and simultaneous interpretation in six languages: English, German, Spanish, French, Russian and Chinese.

There are a total of 18 translators in the simultaneous interpretation control room, all of whom are excellent translators supported by the United Nations.

Because the translation of simultaneous interpretation requires not only a very deep level of translation, but also a strong grasp of rare philosophical words and economic terms in various languages, which cannot be reached by ordinary translations.

The Swiss government also sees that the vitality of the World Economic Forum comes from Zhounan's use of non-governmental propaganda. If it is held with the power of the state, although it will be more powerful, it will cause the deterioration of the forum, so it is also intended to strip away the influence of the government.

A forum organized by experts and scholars is more recognized worldwide than a forum organized by a government.

In particular, the theme of this year's forum is "National Independence and World Development", which is widely accepted by the non-governmental discussions. But if the government initiates such a forum, it is suspected of interfering in internal affairs.

In the past few days of the Spring Festival, Zhou Nan also calmed down and re-reviewed the outline and original manuscript of "Human Society" that he had written, wanting to re-familiarize himself with this rhythm.

After the busy month of February, he was ready to close his doors from March. Strive to complete the remaining two-thirds of the book in half a year.

So far, Zhou Nan has now published three books, and the "General History of the World" is based on Lao Si's "General History of the World", plus about one-third of its own content.

Two-thirds of the content of the book "Humanitarianism" was written by Zhou Nan himself, or sorted out.

The Diary of Anne Frank is entirely his game, as it didn't exist in the original world.

The "Political Economy" he is now lecturing on is a textbook compiled by him by synthesizing many of the ideas and theories of many people. These contents have not been fully organized, and by the time the book is published, at least half of the content will be his own.

And the content of "Human Society" that he is writing now is almost all his own, but the structure and research direction adopt the framework of the book "Guns, Germs and Steel".

Stockholm gave him the world's species changes, Muller's history of germs, and the nearly two hundred years of technological take-off that his assistants had collected.

He used these complete and detailed contents to write about the great impact of biological species on human society.

This can be said to be a new book, but also a book of his own.

Although stealing books is not stealing, Zhou Nan is still a person with a little moral bottom line, and he is not the kind of person who can take other people's works as his own with peace of mind.

With his own ideas and knowledge summary, it is his own book.

Seeing Zhou Nan so diligent, Audrey and Marita were also touched. A group of girls not only want to play, but also study for two or three hours a day under the arrangement of the tutor.

Under the rise of Zhou Nan, he also acted as a philosophy teacher for them, giving them an hour of lectures every day, which was regarded as his own rest time.

To teach them, there is no need to talk too much about theoretical knowledge at all, but only need to tell them some philosophical stories, which are enough to educate them in fun.

British education is different from France, which does not have language classes, and their language is actually philosophy and literature.

The British curriculum is much more extensive, Zhou Nan looked at their textbooks, and all the stories, fairy tales, biographies, poems, travel, adventures, history, nature, and science were integrated into their language classes.

But while these are extensive, they are scarce, so their students have plenty of time to learn a second language.

A group of female students didn't have any respect for Zhou Nan as a teacher at first, and they were naughty in class, and even deliberately molested Zhou Nan, a teacher.

But Zhou Nan rarely responds to their teasing, but tells them some common sense through stories like a friend chatting.

Zhou Nan is also experimenting with them, he is about to go to the University of Lucerne to continue the next semester of the course, and he plans to spread the boring political economy through concrete case analysis to increase the interest of students.

In the first half of the semester, although his courses had a great impact, they paid more attention to his courses to government officials, media reporters, and college students, and many times they couldn't understand them.

As a result, after listening to Zhou Nan's class, these students often have to read the analysis in the newspaper to understand what Zhou Nan really wants to express.

Zhou Nan wants to expand his academic influence, but he can't learn from Toynbee and Russell, their expressions are often obscure, and Zhou Nan's purpose is to spread the obscure content in an easy-to-understand way.

This change was very popular with these girls, and even Marita's two private teachers became Zhou Nan's students, and they all found Zhou Nan's lectures interesting and could learn a lot of knowledge.

On February 20, the tenth day of the first lunar month, Marita and her sisters reluctantly left Zhou Nan's home.

At this time, the area around Jonas Farm has become a lively market, and this year's market is even larger than last year's.

This year's Economic Forum is half larger than last year's, and now more than 1,500 scholars and leaders from various countries have been confirmed to come, and with their entourage and assistants, the number will far exceed that of last year.

Weggis's capacity was far from sufficient, and many people had to be accommodated in hotels in Lucerne.

However, this year, Nanhua will also send a delegation to come, and of course Zhou Nan can't arrange it to other places, so he vacates the guest room at home.

Their arrival will naturally affect life here in the main mansion, so George sent a telegram urging Marita and the others to go home.

This made Marita, who still wanted to participate in the Lantern Festival, almost cry, she didn't want to return to China, and Zhou Nan couldn't urge, so she simply spent her own money and bought dozens of lanterns for them before sending them away.

Zhou Nan has now discovered that Marita is a child who is too well protected. Although she sees many issues more thoroughly than ordinary people, when it comes to feelings and daily life, she is an ignorant child.

To deal with such a person, it is necessary to coax and spoil, and then she will be satisfied.

The shopping street has not yet been built, but there are half as many Chinese people from all over Europe as last year. In addition to them, the number of small traders from all over Switzerland has also increased.

The organizing committee has received more applications this year, but it has also taken a long time to prepare. Entlebuch led the town's workers to build more than 100 shacks around the lakeside road and the convention center.

The Chinese from Paris started to make lanterns in the stable of Zhou Nan's house, and they are also the most popular foreign group.

Not only the children, but also the adults are full of curiosity about the process of making lanterns.

After Marita and her departure, Zhou Nan opened his stable, allowing 2,000 visitors a day to watch the lantern making process up close, and it was a family with children at home.

Even so, there were many applicants, and all of Zhou Nan's assistants, except for the necessary staff on duty, were all busy maintaining order on the farm.

On the 21st, Europe experienced another widespread heavy snowfall, and many roads in Switzerland were closed. Fortunately, most of the guests had already arrived at Weggis in advance, otherwise, this year's forum would have been much more deserted.

However, the university did not hinder people's interest in viewing the lanterns, because of the heavy snowfall, the lanterns hanging everywhere at Jonas Farm added a lot of charm to this beautiful snow scene.

In the cold wind of minus 10 degrees, people eat delicious oriental snacks on the snack street, and then watch the lanterns at Jonas Farm. Every night, it doesn't until two o'clock in the morning that the people gradually disperse.

On the 22nd, the thirteenth day of the first lunar month, in the midst of heavy snowfall, the third Weggis World Economic Forum was held as scheduled.

At the opening ceremony, all five venues of the convention center were full, and the number of participants exceeded the total number of seats in the convention center.

At the opening ceremony, Zhou Nan delivered a speech entitled "The World is One Family, the Harmonious Development of the Nation". The main idea is that national independence cannot be resolved by war alone, but also by peaceful negotiations.

The premise of independence is not to exhaust one's national strength just because of independence. Independence is only the beginning, and the happiness of the people is the goal.

To be honest, his speech thoughts, ass is actually a bit crooked. Because Zhou Nan is implicitly standing on the position of the West and calling for peace, not relying on war, how can Western countries give those small countries a chance to become independent so easily!

Although Nanhua became independent, Nanhua was still bound by the Netherlands in many respects. Moreover, the peaceful independence of South China was only a coincidence, not replicable.

Zhou Nan also stood and spoke without backache.

However, at present, in the world, Western forces still occupy an absolute advantage, and national independence mainly depends on the face of the West. Therefore, his speech has no fundamental bias, can be accepted by the public, and can win the favor of the Western world.

Anyway, Nanhua has become independent, and its current development needs the support of the Western world.

As for the interests of other ethnic groups, Zhou Nancai will not care.
