Chapter Fifty-Seven: The Fall of the Numbers (Lin Yayi's ASEAN Lord)

Zhou Nan is a national idol in Lucerne, and both men and women, young and old, are proud of him. While the media was promoting him, it could really be said that a person had ascended to heaven, and even John had become the object of attention.

Its "glorious" experience of enlisting in the army was exposed by the media, and it also became a heroic dog. Many people were embarrassed to harass Zhou Nan, so they used to greet it to attract Zhou Nan's attention.

Although John is a "famous dog", because it is tall and powerful, it is too scary, and most people only dare to watch from afar, and dare not approach. There are often children who like it and are afraid of it, and greet it from afar

Zhou Nan's personality is peaceful, Audrey is even more gentle and considerate, and neither of them has any shelf. So whoever greeted John, they would respond as long as they were idle.

At this time, John, who can't speak, has become an uncle, and Zhou Nan and Audrey are just shoveling officials with them.

"Jonas, do you think this butterfly hairpin looks good?"

"Pretty good." Zhou Nanyan responded insincerely, but fortunately Audrey didn't see it.

The difference in time cannot be calculated in a simple matter of time.

Although the difference in the past 70 years seems to have everything else except for computers and the Internet, when it comes to the details of life, the difference is actually quite big.

Later generations will come to Europe and praise how beautiful and clean Europe is. But they also went through the economic boom in the fifties and sixties, and when they became rich, they slowly became sophisticated.

In addition to Switzerland, a tourist country, most European cities are actually all kinds of dirty and messy, illegally built huts, shacks, and affect the city view.

Only when they have money will they pay attention to these details and pay attention to them.

You know, a hundred years ago in Paris, it was a city, and the streets and alleys were full of residents dumping and defecating, and high heels were invented at such a time, in order not to sink your feet into the pile of.

That's the big aspect, and the small aspect is even more.

For example, the most common elastic bands, the application of rubber and the refining technology of petroleum have not been as diversified as in later generations, and elastic bands are rare and expensive.

The people of this era could not apply the convenience of later generations, and the underwear could only be tied with a cloth belt, and the outer pants were also tied with a belt.

Many small things that are commonplace in later generations and can provide many conveniences to life have not yet been invented, and people's lives still have various inconveniences. It's just that because of the different times, people in this era are not aware of this inconvenience.

Most hairpins in this era had to be fitted with a spring in it, using the tension of the spring to clamp the hair. In later generations, the hairpin that directly used the torque of the steel sheet to clamp the hair has not yet appeared, so the hairpin looks thick and bulky, anyway, Zhou Nan doesn't think it looks good.

But no matter how stupid Zhou Nan is, he knows one thing, that is, he must not say that he is not good-looking at this time, otherwise, Audrey wants him to make a good-looking hairpin, and he doesn't have that ability, and it will ruin her fun.

He's not like Audrey, who focuses more on some old stuff.

Today he discovered a good thing, a piece of the world's first pocket watch with a perpetual calendar mechanism, launched by Patek Philippe fifty-eight years ago.

The watch was kept in a delicate original box by the vendor, and it was so well kept that ordinary people could only see it through a glass box he had specially made.

It was also because Zhou Nan was recognized by him, so when he asked to see this watch, he took it out.

Audrey pulled Zhou Nan and said, "My dear, he is not a vendor who sells it from his own family, but also a vendor who does business in various markets. ”

Zhou Nanleng paused for a moment and asked, "What's the matter?" ”

She glared at Zhou Nan and asked the stall owner, "How much does this watch cost?" ”

The stall owner held out two fingers and said, "Twenty thousand Swiss francs." ”

There was a gasp from the people around them, the average Swiss income was around 3,000 Swiss francs a year, which was equivalent to a person's total income for six years.

Audrey pulled Zhou Nan and wanted to leave. "It's too expensive, we still need to think about it."

Zhou Nan was also in a hurry, 20,000 Swiss francs sounded very expensive. But this is a Patek Philippe, and it is still a rare commemorative model, and in later generations, it will be easy to sell it for a million dollars.

He grabbed Audrey and said, "Honey, I want this watch." ”

Listening to his words, Audrey stopped, looked at his expression, and asked, "Are you sure?" ”

Zhou Nan nodded. "Pretty sure."

Audrey turned back to the stall and asked, "Sir, my husband likes this watch very much, but it is a bit expensive. ”

The stall owner looked at Zhou Nan's expression and said with a smile: "Miss Hepburn, this is Patek Philippe, but it is still a Patek Philippe commemorative edition that is still in normal operation." It doesn't need to be wound with a key, and comes with the day, date, month and moon phases. While these features may not seem like much now, don't forget that they were made fifty-eight years ago, and they're older than most of us. ”

"But all goods have to have a price that matches their value, right? You can't shout out a premium ...... just because my husband likes it"

The stall owner smiled and said: "Of course, in order to show my respect for Mr. Zhou, I am willing to lower it by two thousand Swiss francs, which is my greatest expression of sincerity and respect." ”

When it comes to this, there must be no more bargaining. The mentality and customs of Eastern and Western people are different, and the stall owner has already said that because the object of sale is Zhou Nan, he is willing to give a reserve price with the greatest sincerity, and it would be an insult to him to negotiate the price.

Unlike the East, the price can be negotiated casually, and it will not hurt personal feelings.

Audrey looked at Zhou Nan, Zhou Nan shrugged her shoulders and smiled, "Can you tell me more about this watch?" Is there a signing certificate? ”

The stall owner laughed and said, "Of course, I'm happy to serve......"

Soon, Zhou Nan wrote a cash check to the stall owner. Although today is the weekend, shops and banks are not open. But Zhou Nan's fame is here, even if it is a large amount of money, the stall owner has no doubt that it can be exchanged.

18,000 Swiss francs is a lot of money for ordinary people, but it is nothing to Zhou Nan, a rich man.

In the past year, he has donated more than one million Swiss francs, and some time ago he donated nearly five million Swiss francs to compatriots in Southeast Asia, and these news have long spread throughout Europe.

Zhou Nan stuffed the box into John's backpack and held the pocket watch in his hand to admire it. Audrey held Zhou Nan's arm, but pouted, kept counting Zhou Nan's indiscriminate spending, and said that he shouldn't have liked it so much, so that she couldn't continue to negotiate with the stall owner.

However, she soon came to her senses and sighed: "When we become a celebrity, we will wear the shackles of fame and fortune, and we will not be able to enjoy the pleasure of ordinary people without any worries." ”

Zhou Nan said with a smile: "It's good that you know......." In your opinion, this watch is a bit expensive, but in my opinion, it is worth it. That's how we appreciate the different angles. ”

She pouted and said, "If I go to Germany, I will sue Caroline's mother, and you spend money again." ”

Zhou Nan touched her face and smiled: "Okay, don't be angry." Whatever you want to eat at noon, I'll take you to eat. ”

Audrey smiled again and said, "I'm going to eat the lemon grilled fish from Skollgrass Street......"

……

……

Zhou Nan and Audrey wandered around for a rare day, until about five o'clock in the afternoon, when Kelly and her food were almost sold out, and they escaped from a group of women on the pretext of going home to pick up Glewin.

Five or six of them, after a hard day's work, sold for more than 500 Swiss francs, including more than 100 sausages made by Mrs. Helde herself.

But Zhou Nan spent 18,000 for an old watch, how could he not make these women feel distressed?

Zhou Nan couldn't tell them that this watch would be worth at least millions in the future, and if he really wanted to say it, they would think he was crazy.

They all really thought about Zhou Nan, Zhou Nan was embarrassed to refute, this kind of grievance really made him extremely depressed.

He and Audrey went home first, changed to Gleving, drove back to the carriage, and began to prepare dinner.

The two of them first went to the vegetable garden to pick some vegetables, and when they came back, Audrey washed the vegetables, and Chef Zhou Nan made a hearty dinner when the sun set.

Helde and Stolko rested today, and made an appointment to go to Engelberg to play golf together, and they also came back at this time, and when they saw Zhou Nan cooking a big meal, they sat down unceremoniously, and asked Glevin to pour a pot of ten catties of rice wine directly.

After the meal, a group of men chatted and talked about the Patek Philippe that Zhou Nan bought, and they didn't think it was not worth it, but praised Zhou Nan for his good vision.

The women didn't think so, packed up the dishes, and helped Kelly and Audrey to prepare their luggage for Germany.

This time I went to Germany, and Zhou Nan will stay for about a month. For such a long time, of course, everything at home has to be arranged.

Etinny would follow Zhou Nan with him, and Stolko would stay at home. International telephone calls between Germany and Switzerland were not opened, and everything was communicated by telegraph.

Zhou Nan went to Germany, and it wasn't that he didn't care about anything. At the very least, the Swiss Ministry of Foreign Affairs will also send an attachΓ© to follow Zhou Nan, and when something happens, it is also necessary to open a safe information channel.

Kelly would also go back to Germany with Zhou Nan, but Glewin would stay at home and take care of the farm, so Kelly would only go back for a week or so to pay tribute to Janssen and the dead children, and also visit some former relatives.

Zhou Nan almost didn't ask for the income from the ranch, leaving it to Kelly and Glewin. Since moving to Weggis, because I only raised some sheep, this part of the income is not high, and I can't even keep the ranch running.

However, the main income of the ranch is the sale of pasture, and Zhou Nan's home has more than 500,000 square meters, nearly 130 acres. Aside from the woods and the main house, the pasture is almost half the area. With such a large area of pasture, selling forage every month is a large amount of income.

Kelly also has some money in her hand now, and she has always had an obsession with returning to Germany. Of course, not to return home, but to help some relatives over there.

For this trip to Germany, she made more preparations than anyone else, and almost all of the things she prepared in a truck were prepared by her.

(Finally rushed out, I continue to code words, and strive to continue three more tomorrow.) οΌ‰
