Lisko’s American Life

148. Candidates for the housekeeper (thanks to book friend 2335 for the 100 point reward)

The matter was settled after a few simple chats. Although Lisko held 75% of the shares of the cultural company, Lu Bo held 25%. But this is not indispensable to him, and the symbol of his shareholding is greater than the meaning.

When Lisko decided to sell 25% to Haas, he immediately agreed.

The writers at their level are eight to two with the cultural company. The 20% is taken to the company, and 75% of the 20% is Lisko's profit.

The reason why everyone joins a cultural company is that someone can negotiate with publishers and film and television companies. After all, writers don't want to get bad money for themselves, and their status will become higher, so it would be unfashionable to end in person.

Seeing the sincerity of Lisko and Lu Bo, Haas was also willing to join. He joined the company just because he wanted someone to handle chores and have his own writing autonomy. What he likes, publishing those substandard manuscripts will affect his reputation and status.

After the matter here was dealt with, Lisko also went to the mentor's castle to say goodbye. This time, he was alone. When Haas was busy discussing the new book with Lu Bo, he didn't follow him.

In the old castle, the mentor didn't go out today. Yesterday's hangover made him feel depressed early in the morning, so he simply rested at home. After all, he is old and has privileges everywhere.

"Tutor." Lisko went all the way to the study unimpeded, watching the tutor studying ancient books with reading glasses.

"Li? Did you run away from the party again?" Bermer saw Lisko coming, his first reaction was to be happy, and then he remembered that he should be in the hotel to attend the party invitations of writers one by one. .

"Hey." Lisko showed a naive look in front of his mentor, scratching his head, trying to get away with it.

"You!" Bermer didn't know how to reprimand this proud student. Lisko was indeed brilliant in literature, and he was the greatest pride among his students, but this character that didn't like gatherings and liked being quiet couldn't be changed.

How many times has he said that Lisko promised well, but when he turned around, he still went his own way. In the American literary world, it has never been possible to stand firm by writing. Getting to know people and gathering firewood is also a big reason.

But what can be done to take this disciple? In fact, Berman also agrees with his disciple's approach in his heart. Only by keeping his heart pure can he write moving articles.

He can't help it, he thought the same way when he was young, but in the big dye tank of society, there are some things that he has to participate in and pretend to be.

However, Lisko has so many senior brothers to help him, even if he is arrogant and disdains to bow his head, it will have no effect.

Bermaner came out from behind the table, and hit Lisko not lightly or hard. This disciple who worried him, fortunately, he was able to move for a few years, and no one could touch Lisko when he was still there.

"Ready to go back?" Bermer, supported by Lisko, walked to the library sofa and lay down comfortably.

Although his body is not to the point where he can't walk, but the disciples want to support him with filial piety, and he has to be savvy and let them go every time, and he also likes the feeling of being taken care of.

The old man was lonely, and every time the disciples came over, he and Mary were very happy.

"Yes, I'm ready to go back." Lisko sat down opposite the instructor. ,

Bermer easily guessed the reason for Lisko's visit this time. He has participated in the salon, and he is impatient to be here. Although it is very prosperous and lively, he doesn't like it. The traffic and the steel jungle here , made him stay uncomfortable.

After only a few days, he missed the fresh air of his ranch, the vast pastures that he could see when he raised his head, the herds of beef cattle, and the cowboys with horses and whips.

"Okay, it's fine to go back," Bermaner knew the character of his disciple, so he didn't say much.

"By the way, you asked me to find the housekeeper and bodyguard for you. Do you want to take them back together?" Bermer suddenly remembered something. Last time, Lisko asked him to introduce him because he had no contacts in this area. The selection was also based on the selection of many candidates.

Speaking of this, Bermer took out the file bag from the desk drawer in front of the sofa. He has been wanting to give it to Lisko these days, but he has never had a suitable opportunity.

"Here are the materials I selected. Take a look." Bermer is very concerned. He knows the black and white of American society clearly, but he will not be like his disciples who don't understand anything and think that the world is not so ugly.

Bodyguards and butlers are related to the wealth and life of the rich, so of course you have to choose carefully. If they are motivated by wealth, not to mention property, their lives are in danger, because they are the people closest to you every day.

His disciples trusted him and left this matter to him. Of course, Berman was 12 times concerned.

Lisko opened the file bag, and there were only three materials in it. This was chosen by the teacher. The first piece of information was the butler. The butler will be the most important person in the castle in the future. He will be responsible for the recruitment and procurement of all castle employees. Let Lisko Live a convenient, easy life.

It can also allow Lisko to gradually get used to the lifestyle of the rich. They are the most powerful subordinates of every rich man. Sometimes the housekeeper will also take care of the property of the rich. Once hired, the professional code requires them to be loyal.

The document in Lisko's hand is a butler, and Lisko also knows this person, Payne, the youngest son of the Swan Castle steward Pole. I also heard about him when I was in middle school.

"Penn is the son of Boll. Boll has worked in my castle all his life, so there is no need to worry about loyalty. Pain has excellent grades, and he has also studied at the Dutch International Butler Academy, which is rich in butlers. Now he has graduated. Hire at your castle."

Looking at the information above, Lisko found that his grades were indeed excellent, and he had won a lot of competitions and certificates. Lisko felt that he was a bit overqualified for hiring.

However, he fully understands why Payne is willing to be a housekeeper, because his father does this. It is difficult for a person without family background to get ahead in society. Being a housekeeper for a rich man not only has a high commission, but also has a lot of knowledge and connections, just like Bohr is doing things now, and some people in power, big and small, know him. Although he relies on Bermer's background, everyone, big and small, will give him some face.

And Payne is a person who knows everything, so don't worry about having bad intentions.

After thinking about it for a while, Lisko made a decision.
