Lisko’s American Life

It was already the next morning when Lisko woke up. He was in fragments after getting drunk yesterday. He didn't know how he got back. He breathed a sigh of relief when he saw the familiar room and decoration.

After Lisko woke up, he sat on the head of the bed blankly, thinking about his drunken dream.

In the dream, he was still the little editor who had nothing, working from nine to eight every day, running around for a living. Lisko wiped away the tears that flowed from his sleep. He began to reflect on what he had done. He seemed to have been a little passive since time travel. As if I would wake up anytime.

He rubbed his head, walked to the window, looked at the cowboys busy in the ranch, the endless ranch, and Megan who was picking vegetables in the vegetable garden downstairs, who had a house, a car, a beautiful girlfriend and a lot of money. These are the days he dreamed of in his previous life.

He took a deep breath, and it was only at this moment that he really felt that he was completely himself.

"Morning, Harney."

Megan was downstairs picking vegetables in a beautiful sunhat and gloves, "Breakfast will be ready soon."

"Okay." Lisko felt that it was time for him to make some changes, so he cheered up and responded to Megan.

He went to the bathroom to take a shower, washed away the tiredness of the hangover, changed his clothes, and went downstairs with his somewhat damp hair.

"Morning," Megan put the breakfast on the table, "how are you?" Megan looked at Lisko, who was depressed, with some concern.

"It's okay, but I'm a little mentally ill, and I haven't been drunk for a long time." Lisko rubbed his brows.

"By the way, how did I come back yesterday? I can't remember. I drank too much." Lisko asked.

"Haha, Hani, you're so cute when you're drunk. Do you remember what happened yesterday? You and Lin knelt on the ground and became brothers. In the end, I got so drunk that I called the rooster to bring you back. Lin Bo is very happy." Satisfied, he said you are very," Megan frowned, thinking carefully about the awkward Chinese, "It's true, it's true, and he said you are welcome to go again next time."

Lisko covered his face in annoyance, he felt that the image he had been deliberately maintaining had collapsed.

"Okay, Honey, it's cute." Megan kissed Lisko's face, "Come and have breakfast together."

After the two had a sweet breakfast, Lisko went to the study and started his work.

"Lube, I'm Lee."

"Wow, this is the first time Li called me on his own initiative, let me guess if you want to ask about sales?" Lu Bo's voice was as hearty as ever.

"Yeah, don't be a fool, how many sales are there?" Lisko joked with some helplessness.

"Currently, the sales volume in the United States has exceeded 8 million copies, and the Nobel nomination is also being conquered. The editor of Random House told me that it has entered the final review stage, and it is very likely to be nominated." Lu Bo's voice also became excited.

"Okay, send me an email about the latest sales progress. I'm thinking about a new book recently." Lisko arranged.

"New book? This isn't like you. Why are you so inspired recently?" Lu Bo was also very happy with Lisko's progress.

"I am determined to be a prolific writer. I am considering targeting children with this new book. The first two books are aimed at adults, and the third book is aimed at students. I want to monopolize readers of all ages and establish a solid position. In this way, I will He will not be shaken even if he fails once in a while." Lisko made no secret of his ambition and pride, after all, his agent is his closest support in the literary world.

Lu Bo was also full of fighting spirit and continued to struggle.

Lisko called Chandler, the person in charge of his investment company. This is the executive that Lisko found on Wall Street, and he was in charge of all the affairs of his investment company. Arrange the work assigned by the superiors well, and the rest of the business ability is not enough." Lisko immediately appointed him, after all, what he needs is a person in charge who can obey the command, and the rest of the investment vision can be compared yourself?

"BOSS," said Chandler, a forty-year-old middle-aged man who was very taciturn, and he was always concise.

"How is the company recently?"

"Everything is business as usual, and the mainland investment branch has completed the task."

"How much money is left in the company account?" Lisko asked,

"BOSS's manuscript fees are continuously flowing in, and the companies it invests in are also paying dividends every year. At present, most of the goals have been completed, and most of the expenses are only used for follow-up investment and preventing dilution. At present, the company has a huge account with a balance of 700 million $60 million." Chandler knew the company's numbers like the back of his hand.

He arranged for Lisko to transfer all the manuscript fees and income to the investment company, and the investment company gave him two million dollars in dividends every year. He doesn't need much money in his life.

"The company has two tasks in the next stage. One is to acquire some American theater companies and integrate several third-rate theaters to go public. The other is whether our company holds bank shares."

"Our company currently holds 15% of Ante Bank and is the second largest shareholder. However, the Ante family holds 70% and firmly controls it. We only have some dividend rights."

Lisko thought for a while, "A wholly-owned acquisition of a small bank guarantees full control and ensures the concealment of our company's capital circulation."

"Okay, BOSS," Chandler said, as always, without asking about Lisko's arrangement, and faithfully carried out the task.

Lisko has also made plans for future operations. Even if he is ignorant, he still knows about the subprime mortgage crisis in the United States in 2008. He plans to make preparations and acquire banks to operate.

The way to make money from the subprime mortgage crisis was simple. Before the subprime mortgage crisis broke out on a large scale, borrowed subprime mortgage securities from other banks, brokers and other investors, and then sold them to other buyers. After maturity, subprime mortgage securities are purchased from the market and returned to the original creditors.

These are the materials he consulted when writing in his previous life. The "subprime mortgage crisis" in the United States began to emerge gradually in the spring of 2006, and reached its peak in 2008. It started in the summer of 2007 and has swept the world since August. Countless companies and banks have collapsed. Lisko needs to be prepared to get enough funds for development in this opportunity. High-quality real estate, you can be a charterer with peace of mind in the future.

The current crisis is not yet obvious, and smart people have already started to act. It is not too late for Lisco to enter the market, and countless fund managers have made profits in this crisis, the most famous of which is John Paulson. In 2007, one of his funds had a return of 590%, and another fund had a return of 353%. By December 2007, the value of his fund had soared from $6 billion to $28 billion. Lisko operates among so many big bosses, and uses his own bank, so he won't attract attention.

He also holds that other banks will be affected by the crisis and go bankrupt, and use his own bank to merge other banks, which is another high-quality asset.
