Chapter 38: Published

After three days at Jean Nord's home in Evian, where he enjoyed a life even more luxurious than that of an aristocracy, Zhou Nan decided to go home.

At this time, he didn't realize that he had given Audrey a sense of crisis, and he just thought that she couldn't adapt to this kind of luxurious life of opening her mouth and stretching her hands for clothes. Because Audrey's smile is getting less and less, only when she faces Melissa, she smiles a little more.

The life of the Nord family is indeed a bit too luxurious, there are only three masters of the family, each of whom has seven or eight special servants, and someone is responsible for food, clothing, housing, transportation, and even going to the toilet.

In the immediate aftermath of World War II, Europe's economy collapsed, and all countries were struggling to make ends meet. Except for Switzerland, which is a little more stable, it is good for people in most countries to have enough to eat at this time.

Mayerry recruited a large number of servants from France, and a large number of people served him in several houses. And in Annecy, the most beautiful town in France, he kept a staggering number of poor girls from all over the world in his villa for his sexual pleasure.

Zhou Nan doesn't like this kind of life, he prefers to be simple, free, surrounded by a large group of servants all day long, and he doesn't have to do anything by himself, I'm afraid people are decadent.

When Audrey heard that she was going home, she immediately became happy, and she couldn't wait to escape from this luxurious mansion without a sense of warmth.

Audrey is becoming more and more unaccustomed to her current life. She felt that she was trying her best to catch up, but she was further and further behind by Zhou Nan. This not only put a lot of pressure on her, but also made her lose confidence in herself.

Her father was an English aristocrat whose ancestors could be traced back to James Hepburn, the husband of the Queen of Scots hundreds of years ago. But the family had long since declined, and her father relied on his family background to find a position as a bank administrator, and had to travel back and forth between England and the Netherlands and Belgium.

Her mother is more powerful, she is a descendant of Edward III of England, but the family is only a squire in a small part of the Netherlands, and there is not much family property except for a little land.

Therefore, although Audrey's life since she was a child is not very poor, she is definitely not rich, and she belongs to a relatively poor aristocracy.

After she became sensible, she ushered in World War II, and her father's departure made her life even more difficult. As a last resort, she and her mother returned to the Netherlands to live on their grandfather.

Then, she faced poverty and a difficult World War II, and she did not enjoy the life of an aristocracy except as a nobleman.

After following Zhou Nan, her life is relatively comfortable, but it is definitely not a luxury.

Jonas's meticulous love made her feel happy and fulfilled, but she has always been a passive party in this love. She wants to return the favor for Jonas, but finds that she can't seem to do anything.

She rehearsed desperately to make Jonas feel his progress and the return on his emotional investment. She also thought about becoming famous, and then minimizing the gap between them and making this love more equal.

However, seeing the wealth and luxury of the Nord family, and seeing Mayeri's respect and equality for Jonas, she even felt that Jonas was getting farther and farther away from herself.

This made her even a little scared in her heart, she was afraid that she would not be able to catch up with Jonas, and in the end she would not be worthy of Jonas.

But she felt that she could not live without Jonas, because Jonas was everything to her.

The more Nord respected her, the more worried she became, because it was all because of Jonas. Just relying on herself, I'm afraid that a rich man like Nord won't even have the possibility of looking at her more.

When they went home this time, they had a lot more luggage. In addition to a variety of jewelry and watches, Jean Nord also gave Audrey a luxury Bentley Mark VI car that Rolls-Royce just launched this year.

Well, Audrey doesn't know how to drive yet!

And it is precisely these luxurious gifts that bring more pressure to Audrey. It made her want to hide in Weggis's ranch even more, so that she didn't have to face the complicated life outside.

On the return trip, Zhou Nan drove his wolf dog, carrying Audrey and Melissa, who wanted to play with Audrey. Melissa's servants drove two chariots and followed them back to Weggis.

The car belonging to Audrey was driven by Stocko to Weggis.

However, Stolko will continue to work in Geneva, Zurich and the capital, Bern. Because he will be Zhou Nan's eyes and ears in politics, he will play a greater role in staying in the big city than following Zhou Nan's side.

He would go to Weggis once a week to report on his work, and he would be by Zhou Nan's side when he needed it.

Zhou Nan also planned to apply for a phone at home after he went back this time, so that Stolko could contact him at any time.

Back in Weggis, Audrey felt much more relaxed when she came to the house, without the oppression she felt in Jeannord's house. Looking at the familiar Lake Lucerne in front of her, she could feel the relaxation of her whole body.

She also secretly encouraged herself, not only to work harder in her studies, but also to work with Stephanie to break out of her own career as soon as possible.

Zhou Nan has never been separated from John for a few days at once, and after he came back, John was afraid that he would leave him alone, no matter where Zhou Nan went, he would follow him, which made Zhou Nan feel distressed.

After staying at home for two days, Audrey sent off Melissa and her party at the end of the holiday, and Audrey returned to her old life. I went to school during the day, rehearsed in the evenings, and went to performances with Stephanie on the weekends.

Although their remuneration is not very high, it is not low compared to the current prices. Two shows a week that Etinny helped them talk about, earning more than the average worker.

Etinny almost became the agent of the two of them, and when Zhou Nan had time, he would accompany them to watch them perform, but now he was too busy, so most of the time it was Etinny who took care of the two of them.

Because of the appearance of Stolko, Ettinny also had a sense of crisis, he was originally just a university lecturer who had not worked for a few years, and he had a strong interest in humanities and history. Therefore, working with Zhou Nan, he can have direct contact with this master in his mind, and he can also get to know world-famous theorists.

But Stolko is a real political elite, and if it weren't for the troubles he caused in his youth, he would probably be a stalwart of Swiss politics by now.

So he knew that he couldn't compare to Stolko, and he could only watch Stolko occupy the position of Zhou Nan's assistant and consultant.

After careful consideration, he also repositioned himself. As Zhou Nan's assistant, he is still a little unable to keep up in theory, but as his propaganda officer, spokesman, and head of outreach, he is still competent.

So from Audrey's side, he began to exercise his ability in this area.

joined the Liberal Democratic Party and enjoyed the support of the Liberal Democratic Party, but this also meant that Zhou Nan needed to cater to some socialization in politics. No matter how detached he is, he cannot refrain from having normal dealings with party members, and he cannot fail to participate in some meetings.

More importantly, the first volume of his "General History of the World" was officially published on 11 May. In order to promote the book and expand its influence, he also has to start his own publicity journey.

The publishing house, the Liberal Democratic Party, and Zhou Nan, together with Zhou Nan, have already planned a detailed propaganda plan for Zhou Nan's propaganda. The campaign began on May 18, a week after the book's release.

His publicity will not be like ordinary novels, according to the publisher's arrangement to do some commercial promotion to promote. His propaganda basically consisted of going to universities in major cities to give lectures to promote his theories, and also facing the "verification" and "assessment" of experts and scholars from all over the world.

Only if everyone recognizes his scholarship can his books sell better.

In addition to Switzerland, he also travels to Italy and France to do publicity.

And Germany, which he wanted to go to the most, was not in this propaganda trip. The situation there is now very complicated, it has been divided into four countries, and it has become a place of fierce competition among the foreign services of each country.

In addition, the Allied countries' repression of Germany was too harsh, and in order not to let people know about the situation in Germany, the national borders there were still closed.

Not to mention that a "cultural" person like Zhou Nan, even a businessman, it is very difficult to enter what is now Germany.

After the propaganda of these three countries is finished, Zhou Nan will go to the United Kingdom. On the one hand, it is to improve his next volume, and on the other hand, it is also to warm up for the publication of the English version of his book.

At that time, the number of copies of the English version will also be determined by the number of sales in Germany, France and Italy. Breaking into the British and American markets is the most important thing for everyone. The victory of the Anglo-American war will also make their language a world language, which has long been the consensus of everyone.

Otherwise, why would the newly established United Nations abandon the already well-built Palais des Nations, and still have to get a piece of land in New York and build a new United Nations headquarters?

Speaking of which, Switzerland is a neutral country, a non-aligned country, and now has a complete infrastructure, making it a more suitable location for the United Nations headquarters than the United States. However, in order to control the newly established United Nations, the United States insisted on disbanding and merging the League of Nations into the United Nations, and instead of using the original facilities, it wanted to build a new headquarters in New York.

The victorious side will not only grasp the economic initiative, but also grasp the propaganda power of cultural public opinion. As early as the eighteenth century, Europe recognized the importance of cultural export and ideological aggression, as well as propaganda of public opinion.

Throughout the second half of the 46th year, he will be busy publishing and publicizing, but this year will not be the most important year. Because everything this year is just a warm-up, what really matters is the guidance of public opinion around the world after all three books are published next year.

Since the second volume has not yet been completed, although the Liberal Democratic Party attaches great importance to the publicity of Zhou Nan's works, it will not be able to make an overall propaganda plan according to the quality of the manuscript until the draft is completed.

However, before the end of the year, the next volume will also be published, and at that time, Zhou Nan will promote his theories and vigorously promote his works around the world.

It is conceivable that throughout the whole year of next year, Zhou Nan will not be too idle.

This also made him can't help but have a little headache every time he saw the work plan made by Etinny. He is a lazy person, and now he has such a tight schedule, which is also a torment for him.

But all this, on the morning of May 18, when he got the weekly sales data of "General History of the World", Zhou Nan was immediately full of motivation.
