Lisko’s American Life

301. Lisko's short stories

David also lowered his head to ponder Lisko's words. He thought about it. If it expands, the operating cost of the ranch will increase again. This will test his ability.

Moreover, he has never done a tourist ranch, so he is completely at a loss and doesn't know how to start.

David didn't know the future, but Lisko knew very well that in his previous life, after the 2008 Olympic Games were held, the economy of China and even most countries in the world developed rapidly, and the number of tourists traveling abroad was dozens of times before. For those who have some savings, spend a small amount of money to experience the American pastoral scenery in Hollywood movies. This exotic style is still very marketable.

Moreover, Lisko's ranch also has self-brewed beer, a sea of ​​lavender flowers that can be photographed, and even cooperates with LTECH to carry out target shooting projects. These are very attractive features.

"But I don't know if I can do it well."

David was troubled by his face, and said to Lisko helplessly.

"It's okay, it's the first time for everyone."

While David was thinking about it, Lisko had already taken out two cigars from the back cigar cabinet, lit one by himself and smoked it, and handed it to David all the way.

He stood up, with a cigar in his hand, opened the curtain of the window, and stood on a high place looking at the boundless pasture in the distance.

"David, this is where I grew up. For me, this is my home. I hope that when I get old, I can sit here and bask in the sun with my grandchildren, so no matter what, keep it. Running the ranch is very important to me."

As he said that, he turned to look at David, and the sunlight behind him shone in, shining golden light on his whole body.

"Don't worry, I contacted my friends. They are several ranches that have successfully transformed. I hope to visit and study their ranches. I will take you with me when the time comes. You have to observe carefully."

Lisko knew that the pressure he put on David seemed to be a bit too much, and he was also afraid that his capable general would quit.

"Is that so? Then I have a little confidence."

David was also moved by Lisko's heart-to-heart confession, and when he heard that there was something to learn from, he felt a lot easier.

After seeing off David who had regained his fighting spirit, Lisko felt a little relieved. He had spent a lot of brainpower since he learned the news in the morning and now has a solution.

Stretching, he began to lie lazily on his position, and accidentally glanced at the newspaper on the side table.

Taking it over for a look, he remembered that this was the sample issue that he wrote a few short stories for him from time to time after Yassin came to ask for a manuscript last time.

Turning to the first page, Lisko glanced and saw his own column on it.

Because the book "The Little Prince" was handed over to the publisher early, Lu Bo also suggested that Lisko continue to develop columns to maintain his popularity. Like many celebrities, readers are forgetful. If there is no new work for a long time, It is easy to fall into the works of other writers.

This was not good for Lisko's development. Thinking that short stories would not take much effort, Lisko agreed to write a few articles a month and send them to Yashin by email.

Of course, the newspaper office attaches great importance to Lisko, a great writer, and the column is on the first page of the newspaper, which is a very golden section.

What was printed on it was the manuscript submitted a few days ago, "Chameleon".

This novel is a satirical novel that Lisko seldom wrote. Once it was published, there was a lot of discussion. According to Lu Bo, it even caused a wave of social upsurge.

The original novel is to describe the hypocrisy, flattery, and servility under the tsarist autocratic system.

Li Ke copied it and made some changes. He set the background in the modern era and wrote about the attitudes of government officials to deal with the rich and ordinary people separately. This article was published on the official website of Literary News, in There was also a lot of buzz on Twitter.

Let Lisko, who had a somewhat quiet reputation, come into everyone's sight again, and even drove Lisko's first few books whose sales had stagnated.

Everyone sees this kind of novel that is very realistic, and they have encountered similar situations in their lives. They read it very happily, and they scrambled to share the situation they encountered with everyone. Things intensified. wandered for a long time.

Lisko's name was also searched again and again by everyone. When they knew Lisko's achievements and achievements, many people who were not literature lovers also began to pay attention to Lisko.

People want to know more information about this mysterious and excellent writer. Even the photos of Lisko and his friends when he was in school were reprinted by everyone.

That's why Rubeau suggested that Lisko start giving interviews. In his opinion, now is a good time.

"The typical Auf created by Liskot writers has distinct characteristics, reflecting the current government personnel's obedience and injustice. The excellent artistry of humor and satire exposes the ugliness and despicability of this country that prides itself on human rights and freedom under the cover of grandeur."

"The author selects fragments of scenes from daily life as materials, refines and processes them, and uses extremely humorous style of writing and ironic language to describe the ugly faces of government officials who flatter the powerful and oppress the people, profoundly exposing the hypocrisy of today's bureaucrats, criticizing The essence of the decadence of today's society. "Chameleon" has transcended time and national borders and become a typical example of the capricious flow in the world's cultural and art corridors."

Lisko looked at the appreciation of his works by some famous and status masters in the literary world below, and a smile leaked from the corner of his mouth unconsciously.

Looking at his works that have been crazily discussed, he now agrees with Lu Bo's ideas. If he wants to move forward in the literary circle, he must write more works.

It seems that my decision to take over the column was right.

Thinking of this, Lisko also became more motivated to work. He opened the file in his notebook, intending to take advantage of the victory and continue to write some short stories, laying the foundation for his rising fame.

After thinking about it for a while, his last chameleon was satirizing the current social atmosphere, and he didn't need to write like this in the next one, as it would ruin his favorability among politicians.

He typed the title on the screen, "The Gift of the Magi."

This is the work of O. Henry, one of the world's three major short story masters. It tells the story of a poor young couple who reluctantly parted with each other and gave each other Christmas gifts. .

Of course, there is a deep meaning hidden in it, which satirizes the revelation of the great disparity between the rich and the poor in the United States today, and also fits with his cynical personality of a young writer.
