When Zhou Nan's plane departed from Mumbai, the news of his arrival in Asia also arrived at the media headquarters in Pontianak and Star City one step ahead of the airwaves.

Although both the Dutch and Zhou Nan wanted to make a low-key trip to Pontianak, the British clearly refused to give them more time to prepare. They also wanted the other parties to know the news of Zhou Nan's arrival in Borneo earlier, only then could the situation become more tense and complicated.

Only in this way will the British be able to see more of what they want to see through the changing situation.

If you don't muddy the water, how can the fish take the initiative to jump?

Although Britain and the Netherlands were allies, it was difficult for the Dutch to seize the handle of the British when the news of Zhou Nan's arrival in Asia was leaked, let alone confront them because of this incident.

At this time, it was already two o'clock in the morning in Star City, and Nanyang Siang Pao and Sin Chew Daily, who got the news, immediately adjusted their layouts and put the news of Zhou Nan's arrival in Asia on the front page of the newspaper in bold font.

Sin Chew Daily is a little more subtle, just calling Zhou Nan a famous Chinese scholar and an excellent politician. And Nanyang Siang Pao directly labeled Zhou Nan with the great title of pioneer.

Over the past hundred years, although the Chinese have produced many outstanding figures, these revolutionaries and reformers have only some fame in their own territory, and very few can be recognized by the West.

For example, Li Hongzhang, although he was regarded as a traitor in China, his ability as a tinkerer is still widely recognized internationally.

And the doctor who was praised by the Chinese people is just a lame politician abroad. Not to mention the Westerners, even the later Southeast Asian Chinese, they no longer treated him and pulled him off the altar.

However, Zhou Nan is an excellent scholar and politician who can really be recognized by Westerners, and he has even been praised by Westerners on the altar.

His "General History of the World" is hailed as a masterpiece of history in the 20th century, and Westerners have to admit that Zhou Nan, an Oriental who is only 25 years old, has far surpassed his contemporaries in terms of knowledge and ability.

The book "Humanitarianism" has now become a humanistic masterpiece recognized by the East and the West as both ideological and instructive. He was unanimously recognized and touted in the Eastern and Western camps, and even politicians from all over the world praised him, which is something that no scholar of this era can do.

In particular, the initiative of the European Recovery Plan made him a pioneer of the world development center in one fell swoop, and even the basic framework of the United States' cooperation and assistance with Europe is carried out in accordance with Zhou Nan's initiative.

At the age of 25, as a new immigrant, he was exceptionally included in the core management of the Swiss government, and no one has raised objections.

From last year to this year, he has led the development and proposal of more than ten major policies, and participated in the review and improvement of hundreds of new policies. The decisions he made were later praised by everyone, and this ability is definitely not something that ordinary people can do.

Even people who don't pay attention to politics have heard of his name. Because he was not only a scholar, a thinker, a politician, but also a musician.

Music knows no borders, and his records have already been vigorously promoted by EMI and spread to every corner of the world. Even people who can't afford to buy records can often hear his beautiful music on the radio.

He has long been the pride of all Chinese people, and he is proud that Zhou Nan is a Chinese.

The Dutch wanted to win the hearts of the Chinese and to facilitate the management of the Chinese. At the beginning of the decision to support the establishment of various nationalities in the East Indies, the role of Zhou Nan in this political reform was exaggerated.

So much so that in Borneo now, the highest call is for Zhou Nan to be the prime minister of this Chinese country.

The Dutch want to use Zhou Nan to win people's hearts and minds, and want to borrow Zhou Nan's ability, but they absolutely do not want to see Zhou Nan become the prime minister of this country.

Because where the limit of Zhou Nan's ability is, no one knows whether he will become a monolith in the country in a very short period of time when he becomes the prime minister, and then drive the Dutch out, no one can say.

Therefore, such capable people can stay in the West and stay under their noses, so that they can be more at ease.

Therefore, the major media in the West like to publish the "anecdotes" of Zhou Nan's high IQ and low EQ, and all the countries have joined forces to create a genius with high thinking and profound life ability, but his life ability is biased towards idiots.

I just described Zhou Nan as needing someone to feed him even when he eats, and he has to use others to help him with bathing.

Zhou Nan is also a little helpless about such reports, and he can't deny it, because the more this is the case, the more Westerners attach importance to him, and they can't let him get out of their control.

If Zhou Nan was an ambitious person, of course he wouldn't like such a "smear". However, he was not a person with strong executive ability, and he did not have much interest in participating in specific political affairs, so he never denied these "slanders".

The Chinese in Malaysia heard the news of Zhou Nan's coming to Asia early in the morning, and countless political groups sent representatives and immediately rushed to Pontianak.

And in Pontianak, the Chinese who heard the radio in the morning and saw the newspaper beat gongs and drums one by one, put up lights, and happily went to the airport to greet Zhou Nan.

The city of Pontianak was originally founded by the Chinese and was once the capital of Lan Phuong. It is located at the confluence of two rivers, about twenty kilometers from the mouth of the sea.

The topography of Borneo is high in the middle and low on all sides, and the coastal zone is mostly muddy marshland and wetlands, with the exception of a few areas of volcanic activity where the land is a little more fertile and most of the area is unsuitable for farming.

However, even though the land here is not fertile, it is not difficult for agriculture to be self-sufficient because of the small number of people and abundant resources.

There are large areas of fertile land along the rivers of Pontianak, so although the Chinese people in Pontianak have suffered many massacres, they still flourish here.

The city was built on swampy land, many houses were built on water, and there was no suitable place for an airport around the city.

It's all wetlands, and if an airport is built, it will also sink on a land-based basis. The Dutch found a rocky open space on the river, fifteen kilometers from the city, and built a small airfield there.

Today, Pontianak is home to at least one million people, which is much more than the local capacity. These Chinese families from all over the East Indies are relatively wealthy, although the living environment is a little worse, but they have no worries.

The Chinese have many industries in various parts of the East Indies, and now they have transferred their industries here, and countless resources are inclined to this place, forming a huge siphon effect, which has also greatly promoted the development of local commerce.

What exciting news is that people in other regions are willing to spend their own property to build this place, even if people in other regions are reluctant to build their own property.

Zhou Nan's plane arrived in Pontianak near noon, and from the plane, it looked like a city with a small footprint, spread flat on both sides of the river. Most of the houses in the urban area are hidden between large trees, and there are no tall buildings in sight.

Seeing such a scene, Zhou Nan said with some concern: "Millions of people have come here at once, and the city will probably become a mess!" ”

Chen Zhongqing stretched his waist and said with a smile: "Most Chinese have their own industries in other places, and at present, they are just sending their families here for a year or two, and it is not a big problem." The Provisional Parliament is now working on various laws and development plans, and there is about to be a major development here. ”

Zhou Nan shook his head and said: "I'm not worried that everyone can't live a good life, I'm worried that the city is too small and the population is too large, resulting in a poor living environment and frequent infectious diseases." ”

Chen Zhongqing paused for a moment and said: "We have already considered this aspect of the problem, so the current population resettlement is mainly in the city. In addition to those who have relatives here, they will live in their relatives' homes, and the rest of the people are concentrated in the house, although the living environment is a little worse, but the medical and health facilities are very complete, ensuring that everyone has hot water to drink, and there are public toilets. I don't know much about the specifics, after all, I used to live in Jakarta. ”

Zhou Nan nodded, infectious diseases in this era are still very scary, malaria, smallpox, and flu can all take a large number of lives.

The airport is not large, but there are many planes and ships that take off and land because the transportation here is mainly by airplanes and ships.

As soon as he got off the plane, Zhou Nan felt a wave of heat rushing to his face, and the suspension ladder set up by the airport was a little hot when he touched it.

Seeing the welcoming crowd on the runway, Zhou Nan immediately retracted his hand quietly. Audrey whispered that it was so hot, she was holding Zhou Nan's arm, and her body was also very tight, but now she couldn't help but separate a little.

The city is built right on the equator, and there is almost no temperature difference in the four seasons, plus the humidity is very high, so it is extremely muggy.

Almost all the Chinese delegates that Zhou Nan had seen in the Netherlands came over and waited on the runway despite the heat. When Zhou Nan stepped out of the plane, gongs and drums sounded, and the dragon and lion dance team immediately performed around the plane.

Zhou Nan was still smiling and saying that it was too flamboyant, shaking hands with the big shots like them, and insisting on shaking hands with those tired and sweaty young people.

When he got into the welcoming car, the convoy left the airport, and saw the welcoming crowd outside holding Zhou Nan's photos and slogans, Zhou Nan and they were immediately shocked.

Outside the exit of the airport, there is a sea of people, and there is no end in sight to the welcoming crowd. Seeing the convoy coming out, the cheers shook everyone's ears.

Cai Lao and Chen Lao, who were in the same car with Zhou Nan, couldn't help but smile and said: "Your arrival has lifted everyone's hearts, no one has organized it, and these people have all come to welcome you spontaneously." ”

Zhou Nan was moved, took a deep breath, calmed down his emotions, and said, "I should get out of the car and say hello to them." ”

Cai Lao immediately smiled and said, "Don't, it took us a morning to persuade them not to be congested." For your safety, you can't show your face too much in public, and if you get out of the car, the situation will be out of control. When you get to the city, you'll find that the scene will be more lively......"
