Trains of this era generally traveled at speeds of 40 to 60 kilometers per hour, and it took more than five hours to travel nearly 270 kilometers from Lucerne to Geneva.

But Zhou Nan drove by himself, and if it went well, he could arrive in three hours.

But Zhou Nan seems to have forgotten that in this era when there is no navigation and there are not even many road signs, self-driving tours are not only a test of driving skills, but also a test of familiarity with road conditions.

Because of the avoidance of mountain roads, Zhou Nan chose the western route from the capital Bern, where the journey is almost far and near, but there is no need to take mountain roads, and safety is more guaranteed.

But after the car arrived in Bern and embarked on the ring road, Zhou Nan got lost and took a fork in the road. However, because the general direction is not wrong, I have not noticed it. When he saw the sign in Yverdon, he realized that he was on the wrong path, that this was a city close to the French border.

Stopping the car on the side of the road, opening the map, Zhou Nan found a new way to move on. Soon after, I saw a large factory next to a small town, and it turned out to be the famous Nescafe.

Zhou Nan knew that Nestle was Swiss, and he also knew that Nestle's headquarters was in the small town of Vevey on the north shore of Lake Geneva, but he did not expect to find a Nescafe coffee factory here.

Zhou Nan did not stop and continued to drive south, but he kept thinking about the development of Nestle in his heart. Nestlé was the world's largest food company in later generations, with annual sales of more than 100 billion US dollars, but at this time, I don't know how it is developing.

If you have the opportunity to become a shareholder of this company, you will not have to worry about the depreciation of your assets in the future.

But think about the current Germany chicken feathers, where the factories have almost been demolished, countless talents are empty to guard the factories that have nothing, and the industries there are even cheaper than picking up for nothing, and Zhou Nan has little interest in investing in Nestle.

Is it cost-effective to invest in Nestle, is it cost-effective to invest in bankrupt companies such as Volkswagen, BMW, and Mercedes-Benz? Invest in it now, and when the Marshall Plan is implemented, you can get a low-interest loan from the United States, which is equivalent to using American money to make money, which is really cost-effective.

This time, he didn't take the wrong road again, the car arrived directly in Lausanne on the shore of Lake Geneva, then took Highway 1 and headed south along Lake Geneva to Geneva.

He only stopped and inquired once, and then went straight to the train station in Geneva, and by this time, it was already past six o'clock in the afternoon. He spent more than four hours on the road, and Audrey's train was almost there.

Although Geneva is a big city in Switzerland, in a big city, Zhou Nan is not too eye-catching for an Oriental person. But when he drove a rare limousine to the gate of the train station, he still didn't get out of the car to catch his eye.

After the war, law and order management was far less stringent than during the war, which also led to a large number of foreign proletarians begging for a living here at the railway station. The French and Italians, dressed like artists, will not give up when they have their eye on a target.

Zhou Nan witnessed a child who was not yet fifteen years old snatch the bag of a woman who had just gotten off the train, and then the police at the train station quickly chased after him while blowing a whistle.

But it wasn't long before the two policemen returned empty-handed.

Yes, in this era, those homeless people in small places have no soil to survive, and they have all run to the big cities to beg for a living.

Every day, the newspapers are filled with news about the French and Italian vagabonds in Geneva, who have now become a headache for the Swiss police.

From the map, the city of Geneva was originally an island from Switzerland into the arms of France, with France on three sides and Switzerland on only one side. The outskirts of the city are France, and even if an airport is built, half of the runway is still in France.

The French came to Geneva during the day and returned to France at night, and the police in Geneva could not control it. Those homeless people wish that Switzerland would put themselves in prison so that they could still fill their stomachs.

For this reason, the Swiss side also condemned France and Italy, but to no avail, the French and Italian governments were too busy to clean up the old accounts of the Second World War, and where could they take care of those who had no food.

The train arrived at the station, and the four women came out of the station together, their luggage was all on Zhou Nan's car, one by one empty-handed, and the homeless people who gathered at the train station had no goal to start, so they walked safely to the front of Zhou Nan's car.

It wasn't far from the hotel from here, so this time all four of them crowded into Zhou Nan's car. There were two teachers in the back row, and Audrey and Stephanie squeezed into the passenger seat.

In this era when even driver's license requirements are not strict, no police will come to check for overloading.

Like most major cities, Geneva has a mother river. The Rhône River runs through the middle of the city of Geneva, dividing the city in half, and near the river, here is the old old town of Geneva.

The Audrey and her competition will take place at the prestigious Victoria Theatre in Geneva. This is the square in the heart of Geneva, with a huge tram stop and the magnificent Victoria Theatre on the northwest side of the square, which is also a landmark.

The square is not far from the famous English Garden, and on the north side is the old town of Geneva, built on a hillside with its magnificent walls. On the east side is a park is the University of Geneva, and to the southwest is the business district of Geneva.

Instead of being placed in a hotel, the contestants were placed in the dormitories of the prestigious Conservatory in Geneva.

This world-renowned conservatory was founded in 1835, 110 years ago. In keeping with her history is her old dormitory, which is located at the old city gate on the east side of the square, and the house is at least a few hundred years old.

Of course, Zhou Nan couldn't live in the dormitory here like them, so he sent them to the dormitory, and Zhou Nan separated from Audrey, who was a little reluctant, and came to the church hotel only thirty meters away.

His room was specially booked for him by Jean Nord, the leader of the French-speaking Liberal Democratic Party, and knowing that he was coming to Geneva, the French-speaking members of the Liberal Democratic Party were also very enthusiastic and arranged almost everything for him.

Parking in a garden surrounded by earthen walls and iron fences in front of the hotel, the waiter helped him carry his luggage and led him into this great 600-year-old building.

The building, which originally belonged to the ecclesiastical memorial, is 600 years old and is almost the oldest house in the old town of Geneva.

Although it was built in the 14th century, it was known for its grandeur at the time, with a height of more than eight meters on the ground floor and a patio leading directly to the 20-meter-high roof, with a circular dome with elaborate frescoes of mythological tales.

Because it's a historical site, it's not for the average person to live in, and it doesn't matter, no matter how much money you spend, you may be turned away.

Although Zhou Nan had also seen many exquisite churches, he was also shocked when he entered. The quiet and solemn environment and brilliant decorations make people feel the oppression brought by the environment as soon as they enter.

From the development of Christianity in Europe, Zhou Nan thought of Taoism, and in terms of secular influence, Taoism and Christianity cannot be compared at all.

In addition to the sconces and beautifully carved columns, the hall on the first floor is full of sculptures of different styles. The two sides of the hall are divided into semi-enclosed dining rooms, and there is hardly a single guest in sight, only waiters shuttling back and forth.

Walking down the wide spiral staircase to the second floor, Zhou Nan couldn't help but lie down next to the stairs and look down. The waiter stood quietly on the side, without the slightest expression of impatience.

Zhou Nan's room was not far from the stairs, the door was more than three meters high and more than two meters wide, and the two waiters pushed open the huge and heavy door with some difficulty, and bent down to signal. "Mr. Zhou, please ......"

The interior of the room was not luxurious, but all the furniture and utensils were very exquisite, and the large bed covered with linens was enough to sleep three or four people.

The waiter helped Zhou Nan put down his luggage and asked, "Mr. Zhou, do you need to hang up all your clothes?" ”

Zhou Nan shook his head and said, "I'll just come by myself." ”

The waiter knew that some guests didn't want others to touch their personal belongings, so he nodded and said, "Then please allow me to show Mr. Zhou around the room......

Compared with the imposing bedroom, the bathroom of this hotel is a little backward, because this kind of old house originally did not have a toilet, and the location of the bathroom was very difficult to rebuild, and only a small space was enclosed in the corner of the room, and then connected to the water and sewer pipes.

After introducing all the facilities in the room, Zhou Nan pushed open the door to the balcony. It is eight meters above the ground outside, a lot higher than the old city walls. Because the old city wall is built on a hillside, it is more than ten meters higher than the park outside, so the current position of Zhou Nan is more than 20 meters higher than the central garden outside, and you can clearly see the lights of half of the Geneva city and the French countryside in the distance.

"Mr. Zhou, this is a famous note that Mr. Nord left for you, knowing that Mr. Zhou has just arrived in Geneva today, so he deliberately did not come to disturb you. However, he has already made an appointment with the hotel's Italian chef to host a banquet for Mr. Zhou tomorrow night. ”

Zhou Nan took the name of Jean Nord, nodded and said: "I am very satisfied, now please help me arrange a five-seater, I will entertain four ladies." ”

"What time does dinner start?"

Thinking about the grinding strength of several women, Zhou Nan looked at the time. "Eight to half past eight, depending on when the ladies arrive."

"Do you have any taboos, sir? I'll arrange the kitchen preparation. ”

After briefly telling the waiter that he didn't eat beef and that nothing else would be too taboo, he handed him a tip of two Swiss francs. Sent him away.

The door was closed, and Zhou Nan collapsed on the soft big bed, looking up at the high roof. The beds of this era were still mainly soft, and if you wanted to lie on them, you would be buried in them.

Let Nordfeld think so much, obviously it is also to win over himself, a star in the party who has sprung up. However, there are still certain internal contradictions between the German-speaking and French-speaking regions, so isn't he afraid that the bamboo basket will be empty?
