Lisco's American Life

310. Envy Lisko

A Texas-style lunch ended, but because most of the staple food was meat, Lisko felt that the gaps between his teeth were filled with shredded meat.

Seeing David constantly pressing his tongue against his teeth, I believe that he has the same trouble as me.

After finishing the last dessert, Ian waved his hand, and the servants quickly came up and removed the leftovers from the table, followed by cups of steaming black tea. For everyone who had just finished eating the meat,

, this is the best holy product to relieve fatigue.

Lisko took a sip and felt that the greasy feeling in his mouth was relieved. He watched Ian pick up a toothpick from the plate on one side and pick his teeth without hesitation.

Lisko thought that for a family that values ​​etiquette, it must be rude to do such an action in front of guests.

However, seeing that Ian had no reaction, he hesitated for a moment, then picked up the toothpick on his desk and started picking.

The blockage feeling disappeared, Lisko picked up the tea, rinsed his mouth, and spit it aside.

"My friend, the reception was not good, and a grand welcome party was arranged in the evening. I want to introduce you to the people I know."

"This,,,is so solemn."

Lisko waved his hands quickly,

"Hey! This is what it should be. I want to entertain you well. You guys should rest first and have a drink at night. I will arrange to inspect the ranch tomorrow morning."

Ian's kindness could not be refused. Although Lisko felt that it was not necessary to be so grand, he could only agree after Ian's repeated invitations.

It was originally planned that this business trip would take half a month to complete, but it seems that I miscalculated this time and may have to extend it to one month.

Lisko thought that if one day he ran out of food, he could still hang out for a long time by being a guest among these friends. Of course, this was just a joke, how could he get to this point.

Considering that after arriving, it was time for rest after dinner, Ian did not stay too long and arranged for everyone to go back to their rooms to rest and face the evening party in good spirits.

Lisko fell on the bed and fell into a deep sleep without holding on for long.

When people have eaten and drank enough, they really want to sleep.

It had been a long time since he woke up. Lisko struggled with his limp body and stood by the window, looking into the distance. The orange-red sunset had already set at the foot of the mountain.

Lisko just stood in the room, feeling as if he was on the same level as the sun.

After washing his face for a while, Lisko knocked on David's door opposite.

"Hey."

"gentlemen."

As soon as he opened the door, David happened to be sitting at the window, taking pictures of the pasture in a good mood.

"You didn't sleep?"

Lisko yawned, feeling like he hadn't slept enough.

"No, I usually deal with the day's bills with clients at this time, so I've developed a habit and can't sleep at all. But the scenery in the ranch is really great. I want to take a picture and show it to Jasmine."

David also brought a camera with him on this trip. He is currently taking pictures of the pasture from the window. The pasture looks even more beautiful under the sunset.

"Let's go, let's go down."

Lisko urged him. It was already rude to have slept until now.

"OK."

David looked at his film and found that he had indeed taken a lot. He put the camera away, put it in his luggage, packed it a little, and followed Lisko downstairs.

Downstairs, the villa seemed more lively with people coming and going. Ace was standing in the center directing everyone to prepare for the evening party. When he saw Lisko coming down, he immediately went over to greet him.

He knew his boss's attitude towards Lisko, and he couldn't treat him like an ordinary guest.

"Sir, are you resting well?"

"Slept very comfortably, where is Ian?"

Lisko answered, looking around for Ian.

"Our husband has gone out for something. According to the time, he will be back in a while. Please take a look around. Our party is almost ready."

Ace raised his hand, glanced at the watch on his wrist, and said to Lisko.

After bidding farewell to Ace, Lisko slowly wandered around the villa. There were two helicopters parked behind the villa. Lisko went over and took a look. This style was much more advanced than the one in his ranch.

The ranch is already very large. If you have to rely on cowboys to patrol on horseback, it would be too much work. Today, with the rapid development of science and technology, the biggest benefit is the release of manpower.

I heard from Ace that when the ranch was at its peak, there were more than 500 cowboys on the ranch. Modern and advanced machinery took away the work of many people, and the ranch only needed a few dozen people to keep it in order.

The oil well machinery in the distance is still roaring, but the people living here don't mind the noise at all. You know, as long as the sound is heard, it represents a steady stream of wealth. As the Wagner family is surrounded by them, the more assets the family has, the more assets the family has.

They will also benefit accordingly.

The wages of the cowboys in the ranch also follow the ranch, and they also get a share of the total profit of the ranch. The Wagner family is not stingy in this regard.

You must know that maintaining the stable status of their family depends on these loyal cowboys. Even though the share is only a negligible and small share, the profit distributed to everyone is not a small amount of wealth.

In the eyes of many cowboy families, being loyal to the Wagner family can earn much more than working in a big city, and it is also more secure.

Therefore, they are very happy for their descendants to continue their stable jobs like themselves.

Lisko asked Ace for two horses and mounted them skillfully. He took the lead, and David followed behind, galloping through the endless pasture.

After running for half an hour, it seemed that he had barely reached half of the pasture. Lisko's original desire to run through the entire pasture also faded away.

After roughly estimating the distance, he estimated that it would take a long time to run. At this time, the sky was already covered in black. Lisko thought about it and decided to return.

The return trip was much slower than when they came here. They gave up their own ideas. Lisko and David both wanted to take a good look at the pasture, so they couldn't hold back their excited horses.

The biggest feature of the ranch is the oil wells that can be seen everywhere. Every time Lisko sees them, he feels that he cannot suppress the jealousy in his heart.

In today's world of scarce resources, an oil well represents black wealth, not to mention that Wagner Ranch currently owns more than 1,200 oil wells.

In this way, there is still a large part of the area that has not been surveyed, and many oil wells have the logo of the famous American Shell Oil Company printed on them.

Lisko found out through his own channels that because of the huge oil resources of his ranch, the Wagner family used resources to invest in shares, and they also had shares in the behemoth Shell.
