Lisko’s American Life

After driving along the road for half an hour, a slightly quaint gate appeared.

"Bo, I'm here to see you."

Lisko stopped the car and shouted at the door, the castle law in the United States is not a joke, if you enter someone's home without permission, they really have the right to shoot you.

Soon, a man in his fifties who had trimmed his beard neatly came out. He was wearing a denim jacket with pockets and some brand new denim shoes on his feet.

"plum,"

Bo stepped forward and hugged Lisko, "Welcome back, will you buy back your father's ranch?"

"Of course," Lisko knew what he meant.

"good.boy" Bo was more satisfied.

Lisko handed him two bottles of wine, "Jack Daniels, I specially kept them, and I wanted to give them to my father, now you can try them for him."

Bo took the whiskey, looked carefully at the packaging, and smiled on his brows, "Come on, go in, I just made a steak."

Lisko followed to the dining table, and the stainless steel cover was lifted, and there was a particularly large steak inside, filled with aromas, and Lisko also picked up a knife and fork to enjoy the food.

After the meal, Lisco took out a special Cuban cigar. These cigars are gifts he received in the literature club. In the United States, there are many connections in a circle. When he was studying in New York, he was introduced by his tutor to a club exclusive to the literature department of Yale University. Of course, his age He was nominated for the Nobel Prize for Literature easily, and the relationship with his club also contributed a lot. After all, in this world, you are not guaranteed to succeed if you are talented.

Bo took a deep breath, "It's a great cigar, I haven't smoked such an authentic cigar for a long time."

Lisko smiled and began to explain his purpose.

"Bo, I just bought Li's Ranch with 7 million yuan, and I plan to settle here in the future, but you know, although I grew up on a ranch, I used to be a nerd and didn't know anything about ranches."

Beau listened, motioning for him to continue.

"So, I wondered if I could get Rooster to help me, after all, he has been helping you with ranch for more than ten years."

Beau thought for a moment. "The cock isn't good enough, he's going to screw it up."

Lisko was a little anxious, "Bo, the rooster is already thirty years old. He is not a child of any age. The chicks always go out to fly. Let him try?"

Bo still shook his head and refused. Lisko was a little disappointed. The rooster grew up with him. Although he was a little unreliable, he was still very skilled in his work, so he had to get up and leave, and find another way.

In the afternoon, Lisko received the lawyer handling the acquisition, processed all the documents that needed to be signed, and took stock of his current assets.

"Mr. Lisko, your current assets are as follows. There is a villa near New York University with three cars in it, with a total value of 30 million U.S. dollars. It has changed hands at a price of 45 million U.S. dollars, and the proceeds have been transferred to your Citibank account. , spent $7 million to acquire Lee’s Ranch, and Random House has included your last quarter’s royalty income of $36 million. The investment company under your name holds 3.5% of Google and 7% of Oracle , Intel 0.7%, Microsoft 3%, Apple 3%, Ante Bank 15%, LinkedIn 7.3%, Citibank account balance 325.27 million US dollars. "

Lisko listened to the financial staff's report and felt that his current asset investment was very reasonable. He knocked on the table,

"Investment companies go to Rabbit Country to open a mainland office, and they will give priority to contacting companies below the investment level," Lisko picked up a pen and wrote down some company names.

"Communication is good when investing. We can provide them with listing assistance, and don't seek rights. We are doing angel investment. We only want to go public and make profits. We can hand over the shares to the company's existing chairman for escrow."

The financial staff quickly notified the order, and Lisko lay alone on the sofa, with a smile on his lips, "It's great to be reborn, one-handed king bomb."

Li Ke drove to Li's Ranch, and there was a signboard on the gate of some childlike, "Little Pony Jasmine Ranch".

He pouted, picked up a stone from the side of the road, smashed it into pieces, and opened the door. Lisko stood at the door, looking at the familiar plants and trees inside, sighing, this is the foundation of his ancestors for generations , Now I take it back into my hands, I have to take good care of it, don't ask for money here, just use it for my own use.

He walked forward and saw his villa. The villa has three floors. The first floor is the living room, kitchen, and gym. There are five bedrooms on the second floor, and a garden on the top floor.

He picked up the phone, "Hey, David, come here."

David, a forty-something cowboy who earns a living doing odd jobs on the ranch in town, Maggie introduces him to Lisco, who quickly decides to hire him as a ranch hand, signs a contract, and weeks The salary is seven hundred dollars.

"Clean up the ranch, change the signboard, and then see what is needed, and make a list for me. From now on, the ranch will mainly plant grass, raise dozens of cows, buy a few quark horses, and leave a piece of land to grow vegetables. Behind the ranch Plant all lavender, and put fish in the lake."

David took out his notebook and made some calculations, "Boss, the ranch needs a hay baler, the cowshed needs to be repaired, the gate needs to be repaired, and two pickup trucks are needed."

Lisko waved his hand, "Go ahead and bring me the bill then."

He went to the house in the town to pick up his luggage, returned to the ranch, put the books given by the seniors of the club into the study one by one, took out the special laptop computer given to him by Apple, and made a pot of tea. He ran to Chinatown to buy Biluochun, which cost more than ten dollars, the kind he liked most when typing at home in his previous life.

"Comfortable."

Lisko basked in the sun and swayed on the recliner. The carefree life here was really a day he had dreamed of for a long time, and the nerves that had been tense until now were relaxed. Soon he fell asleep with the shaking.

When he woke up, he was covered with a quilt, and he opened his eyes to see that Jasmine was busy in the kitchen.

"Molly," Lisco called out,

"Boss, shall we have steak tonight?"

Jasmine quickly turned around and asked, Jasmine was David's wife, and Lisko made her responsible for his own food and hygiene, and allocated them a house in the staff dormitory on the ranch.

The staff quarters were built after the previous rancher took over from Lisco's father.

"It's all right, thank you for the blanket." Lisko didn't have much pursuit of what to eat. And on the ranch, most ranchers eat steak.

He made up his mind that next time he went to Chinatown, he must buy some ingredients and cook some Chinese food by himself. Everyone would get bored of eating the same thing every day.

Lisko went upstairs to take a shower, feeling cool all over, and saw the rooster coming in just as he went downstairs.

"Hey, brother,"

Cock and Lisco have a chest bump. It's been a long time since Lisco High School left town.

The rooster is thirty years old now, and has all the characteristics of an American man, a big belly, a thick beard, and slightly curly hair.

"Brother. I heard that you want me to help you manage the ranch?"

The rooster hurriedly asked as soon as he sat down.

Lisko took out a beer from the refrigerator and handed over a bottle, which he knew was the rooster's favorite.

"Yes. You know I don't know anything about ranching. My main occupation is a writer. I'm currently preparing a book to challenge for the Nobel Prize again."

He took a sip of beer and clinked it with the cock.

"I mainly maintain the follow-up ranch. For my own needs, I want to develop it into a family ranch, grow some non-GMO vegetables and grains, brew some extra beer, and raise dozens of cows. But you know, Bo refused. me."

The rooster took another sip of wine, "He always treats me like a child."

Seeing him like this, Lisko persuaded him, "Bo is for your own good, why don't you discuss it with Maggie?"

Rooster nodded silently.

The next day, as soon as Lisko woke up from his sleep, his confusion was broken by the urgent phone call.

"Hey, I'm a rooster. Maggie persuaded Bo that I can go to work at your place. Now should I call you BOSS?"

Li Ke's spirit came, "Really? Great, I need you to take over many things here. Today you go to find David and participate in the cattle auction. This is what you are good at."

"Of course, please have your check ready, I will return with a full load."
