Lisco'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 that the Castle Law in the United States is no joke. If you enter someone else's home without permission, they really have the right to shoot you.

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

"plum,"

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

"Of course," Lisko knew what he meant.

"good.boy" Bo was even more satisfied.

Lisko handed him two bottles of wine, "Jack Daniel's, I specially collected it. I originally wanted to give it to my father. Now you can try it for him."

Bo took the whiskey, looked at the package carefully, and said with a smile on his face, "Come on, go in, I just made steak."

Lisko followed him to the dining table. The stainless steel rice cover was opened, and a particularly large steak was placed inside. The aroma was overflowing. Lisko also picked up the knife and fork and enjoyed the food.

After the meal, Lisko took out the specially made Cuban cigars. These cigars were gifts he received in the literary club. In the United States, there are many connections in a circle. When he was in school in New York, he was introduced to one by his tutor.

A club exclusive to the Literature Department of Yale University. Of course, he was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature at a young age, and his connections in the club also contributed. After all, you are not bound to get ahead in this world if you are talented.

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

Lisko smiled and began to tell the purpose of his visit.

"Bo, I just bought back the Lee Ranch with seven million, 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 know nothing about ranching."

Beau listened and motioned for him to continue.

"So, I was wondering if I could find a rooster to help me. After all, he has been helping you take care of the pasture for more than ten years."

Bo thought for a while and said, "The cock is not good enough, he will mess it up."

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

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

Liske received the lawyers handling the acquisition in the afternoon, 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 US dollars. It has been sold for 45 million US dollars, and the proceeds have been transferred to your Citibank account.

, spent US$7 million to acquire Lee's Ranch, and Random House has paid in US$36 million of your last quarter's royalties. The investment company under your name holds 3.5% of Google and 7% of Oracle.

, Intel 0.7%, Microsoft 3%, Apple 3%, Ant Bank 15%, LinkedIn 7.3%, Citibank account balance is US$325.27 million.”

Lisko listened to the financial staff's report and felt that his current asset investments were reasonable. He knocked on the table.

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

"Communicate well when investing. We can provide them with help in listing. Don't ask for rights. We are doing angel investment. We only want to make profits by listing. We can hand over the shares to the current chairman of the company for custody."

The financial staff quickly notified the order, and Lisko lay alone on the sofa, with a smile on his face, "It's great to be reborn, and I'm so good at it."

Lisko drove to Lee's Ranch. There was a sign on the somewhat childlike gate, "Pony Jasmine Ranch."

He curled his lips, picked up a stone from the roadside, smashed it in two or two, opened the door, Lisko stood at the door, looked at the familiar plants and trees inside, and sighed, this is the inheritance of several generations of his ancestors

, now that I have taken it back, I have to take good care of it. I don’t want to make money here, just run it for my own use.

He walked forward and saw his villa. It had three floors. The first floor was the living room, kitchen, and gym. The second floor was the bedrooms, a total of five. There was a garden on the top floor.

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

David is a cowboy in his forties who makes a living by doing odd jobs on the ranch in town. Maggie introduces him to Lisko, who soon decides to hire him as a ranch worker and signs a contract.

Salary seven hundred dollars.

"Clean up the pasture, change the sign, and then look at what is needed and make a list for me. In the future, the pasture will mainly grow pasture, raise dozens of cattle, buy a few quark horses, and leave a piece of land to grow vegetables behind the pasture.

Plant everything with lavender and put fish in the lake."

David took out his notebook and roughly calculated, "BOSS, the pasture needs a hay baler, the cattle fence needs to be repaired, the gate needs to be repaired, and two pickup trucks are needed."

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

He went to the house in town to get his luggage, returned to the ranch, put the books given by the club seniors into the study one by one, took out the special laptop computer given to him by Apple, and made a pot of tea. The tea was specially made for him.

I went to Chinatown and bought Biluochun for more than ten dollars. In his previous life, he liked it the most when he was doing calligraphy at home.

"Comfortable."

Lisko basked in the sun and rocked on the recliner. The carefree life here was really the day he had dreamed of for a long time. The nerves that had been tense until now relaxed. He soon fell asleep with the rocking.

.

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

"Jasmine," Lisko shouted,

"BOSS, how about having steak tonight?"

Jasmine quickly turned around and asked. Jasmine was David's wife. From now on, Lisko would let her be responsible for her own food and hygiene, and would also allocate a room to them in the staff dormitory of the ranch.

The staff dormitory was built by the previous rancher after he took it over from Lisko's father.

"Anything is fine, thank you for the blanket." Lisko didn't have much pursuit of what to eat. And in the ranch, most ranchers only eat steak.

He made up his mind that next time he went to Chinatown, he would buy some ingredients to make Chinese food himself. Anyone would get bored eating the same thing every day.

Lisko went upstairs to take a shower and felt cool all over. As soon as he came downstairs, he saw the rooster coming in.

"Hey bro,"

Rooster and Lisko had a chest bump. They hadn't seen each other for a long time since Lisko left town at high school.

The rooster is now thirty years old and has all the characteristics of an American man, including 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 asked hurriedly as soon as he sat down.

Lisko took out the beer from the refrigerator and handed him a bottle. He knew it was the rooster's favorite.

"Yes. You know I know nothing about ranching. My main occupation is a writer. I am currently preparing a book to challenge for the Nobel Prize again."

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

"I will mainly maintain the operation of the subsequent ranch to meet my own needs. I want to develop it into a family ranch, grow some non-GMO vegetables and grains, brew some beer with the extra money, and raise dozens of cows. But you know, Bo refused.

Got me."

Rooster took another sip of wine and said, "He always treats me as a child."

When Lisko saw him like this, he advised him, "Bo is doing it for your own good, how about you discuss it with Maggie?"

The rooster nodded silently.

The next day, as soon as Lisko woke up from his sleep, he was interrupted by a hurried phone call.

"Hey, I'm Rooster. Maggie has persuaded Beau and I can go work for you. Now should I call you BOSS?"

Lisko became more energetic, "Really? Great, I need you to take over many things here. Today you go to David and attend the cattle auction. This is what you are good at."

"Of course, please prepare your check, I will come back with a full load."
