Lisco's American Life
299. News of Charles and the state of the ranch
After replying to his email, Lisko felt a lot more relaxed. Although each company has its own manager, Lisko would be informed of the company's recent status every once in a while.
It is one thing that he trusts several managers, but those who can achieve this position are not ignorant people. They will ask Lisko's opinion on some big things.
"gentlemen."
Just as Lisko stretched, there was a knock on the door of the room.
"Enter."
Payne heard the noise inside and walked in directly holding the tray in his hand.
"What's wrong."
Lisko took the warm coffee, which Payne had just taken from the maid.
"gentlemen."
Payne put away the tray, stood aside respectfully, and then stated his purpose.
"Just received a message from Charles."
"What happened?"
When he heard about this, Lisko subconsciously looked at the door that Payne had just closed, and then asked eagerly.
For him, the thing he was most concerned about right now was undoubtedly Charles and his party who set out yesterday. In order to cover up, Lisko did not go to the port to see them off on the day of departure.
Moreover, Charles and his party also wore disguises, completely different from their previous appearances. Everyone dressed up as sailors who had been running at sea all year round, and left the port safely.
"Nothing is wrong. They have arrived in India safely and are waiting for further instructions."
Payne spoke the information methodically.
After learning this, Lisko put down his worries.
He did not hide this matter from Payne and told him the entire plan and plan.
For Payne, being loyal to one's master's family is the basic principle of a housekeeper. The housekeeper in the old days was a helper who helped the head of the house deal with many hidden things.
Although he was very puzzled about the source of Lisko's information, he decided to keep it secret after Lisko described the possible gains this time.
A butler has undergone rigorous training and his loyalty is dedicated to his master's family. Payne considers things from the position of the Lee family.
He also thought that if this time went well, it would be a great need for a carnival for the whole family.
Lisko left this matter to Payne, which really saved him a lot of worry. Whether it was the freighter and the registered trading company concealing their purposes, or the funds being transferred from the castle to Charles as operational funds, Payne handled everything in an orderly manner.
"Let's do this. Help me convey that their next target is Kerala. Make sure to hide yourself and do some purchasing. The coffee there is good, and then purchase wood and wait for my next arrangement."
After Lisko informed Payne of this matter, he took over the job of liaison officer with understanding.
"OK."
After receiving the instructions, Payne immediately resigned. After all, the manpower for the operation was still waiting for arrangements.
Seeing Payne go out, Lisko picked up the coffee and took a sip. As the target got closer and closer, Lisko became excited. Although he did not follow him, he
It seemed like he was also searching for treasure in his heart.
It was not that Lisko had never thought of going together to witness the excavation of these shocking treasures, but after the idea was expressed, he was immediately stopped by Payne, and his attitude was very determined.
To put it nicely, this time I went to hunt for treasure. To put it badly, I went to steal Indian property.
It doesn't matter if a person like Charles is discovered. Everyone has the ability to escape. The worst result is that the person remains anonymous and the treasure is abandoned.
And if Lisko joins as an untrained person, he will be a liability. If he is caught by the Indian side, his reputation will be ruined, and the reputation built through all previous efforts will also be ruined.
After carefully considering the pros and cons, Lisko had no choice but to give up his idea.
The castle has been unusually quiet recently. Zhang You went to the cowboy assembly area on time every day to report, while Li Feng also spent a lot of time in the vegetable and milk-producing areas. After leisurely for a while, the two old men began to search for themselves.
Do some work to kill boring time.
Zhang Li also returned to school to continue his studies, and Lisko was often left with nothing to do in the entire castle.
With his free time, Lisko also has more time to think about the ranch. The situation of the ranch has not been bad recently. Although Lisko has connections, the output of the entire ranch has always had good sales channels.
However, due to the economic impact, this industry has not developed very well. The prices of agricultural products have been greatly depressed, and even the economic situation of the ranch is not as good as before.
David had just reported the latest income in the morning. Lisko did some calculations and found that the entire ranch's income this year was only two million U.S. dollars. Although it did not reach the point of making ends meet, for a ranch that originally earned eight to nine million U.S. dollars a year,
, the situation is already not optimistic.
The rest of the ranches are also having a hard time, but they have income from tourists and the like, so they are still doing well in comparison.
Therefore, the ranchers in nearby Garrison are grateful to Les for proposing reforms, which makes Les even more proud of himself recently.
Originally, Lisko felt that his ranch did not need to be involved in these matters, but the current situation showed that he was a little arrogant.
The ranch is the most inconspicuous existence among Lisko's assets, and even David is not qualified to participate in the Lisko Assets meeting.
But for Lisko, this place is his home, the location of his castle, and it was also left to him by his ancestors.
Different from other American thinking, some Americans may not hesitate to abandon bad assets and use the money to invest in projects with higher returns. Lisko is different. Even if Lisko is asked to pay for subsidies every year, he will
No one wants to see the ranch collapse, but relying solely on Lisko's subsidies is not a development direction for the ranch.
There is a problem with the ranch now, which is due to the influence of the general environment. We cannot blame David for his fault. David is still very capable, but it is difficult for a clever woman to make a meal without straw.
The price of the products produced by the pasture has dropped, and he has no other good solution.
Lisko secretly planned to transform the ranch. The existing ranch map was a bit small. He planned to expand the area and acquire some adjacent small ranches that were not well managed.
Increasing the size and then transforming is the way out for the ranch. If you only rely on the production of agricultural products, you will basically have no ability to resist risks, and an economic fluctuation will cause you to go bankrupt.
But this acquisition was not easy. To the right of Lisko was Les's ranch. He knew Les's character and would never sell the ranch unless he couldn't survive.
On the left is Rooster and Colt's ranch. If Lisko were to acquire the Bennett family's ancestral property, Lisko felt that he would not have any face to face his childhood friends.
Behind the pasture is Dashan, this is also not available at all.
