Lisko’s American Life

Moreover, under the influence of Lisko's father and Lisko's ideas, when Colt was getting rich, he was not like other Americans who were spending too much. He consciously consulted Liskot and started saving and investing.

Lisko, of course, would not hide anything, and instructed Colt to invest his own funds in the stock market and hold Amazon's stock for a long time. As a well-known Internet company in the United States, Amazon has always performed well in the stock market.

The current stock price is 180 US dollars per share. By 2017, the price had reached 1,000 US dollars. Although compared with some other stocks, it may only increase by five times, which does not seem very impressive.

However, Amazon’s performance in the stock market has been very stable, and it has grown according to the phenomenon of increasing every year. As a long-term holding stock, it is still very good, at least there is no risk.

Colt was also very convinced by Lisko's suggestion, and directly purchased all of the family's current $100,000 deposit in Amazon's stock, and the rest of the funds, of course, repaid the loan he had borrowed in the bank to buy the ranch.

And he also plans to use all the funds left over from the year to buy Amazon's stock at the end of each year.

"Are you here to get the flowers you need for Christmas? I happen to have prepared a few gift bags, so you can take them away."

Golly angrily took a prepared bundle and handed it to Lisko.

As a shrewd businessman, Golly knew that many people would purchase Christmas flowers on this day, so she launched a Christmas gift pack, which contained all the flowers needed, saving a lot of people Annoyance, this gift pack has just been launched, and it has received a large number of orders, which made her earn a lot of money.

"Well, I'm not going to be polite, thank you for your gift."

Seeing that Goli didn't intend to take money, Lisko knew that if he gave money, it would definitely hurt the friendship between the two, so he had to give up.

After buying flowers, Lisko walked around the street again, but because of the festival, everyone was in a hurry, preparing for the festival at home, and there was not much fun to do, so he could only go to the pasture in resentment back.

"gentlemen."

Seeing Lisko get out of the car, David who had been waiting at the gate of the castle hastily stepped forward and greeted him.

As soon as he arrived at the castle, he heard that Lisko was going out. After inquiring about his destination, he chose to wait here. It has been half an hour now.

"Is there something wrong?"

Lisko handed the gift bag in his hand to Yu Qing, motioned for him to take it in, and stood and chatted with David.

"That's right, Christmas is coming soon, and we need to take stock of this year's accounts, so I would like to ask Mr. to move to the ranch."

At the end of each year, David will choose a time to report the income and expenditure of the ranch to Lisko for this year. Although Lisko trusts him very much and hardly asks him, David has always abided by his own principles. All pasture expenses are listed in detail.

"Fine."

Lisko knew that he couldn't shirk this matter, so he could only follow David towards his office.

Colorado is still very cold in winter. Although there is no large-scale snowfall, the cold wind has already hit. He wrapped his coat and accelerated his pace.

The entire pasture is all withered and yellow, and the trees on the roadside are bare and without leaves. The cows are not out of the cowshed this season. Compared with the freedom outside, they still prefer to be in a warm house.

The daily food depends entirely on silage and hay, because the number of cattle in the pasture is not too large, and now, a few cattle are slaughtered almost every day, so the storage of the pasture is more than enough.

As soon as David pushed the door, Lisko walked a few steps first and entered the office. The warm wind blew on his body, making him shiver from the coldness.

"Come, sir,"

David first poured a cup of hot coffee and handed it to Lisko, and the two drank a few sips before they regained consciousness.

"Is it going to snow recently?"

Lisko felt that today was much colder than the previous few days.

"Yes, sir, there will be heavy snow the day after tomorrow. I have already done a good job of protecting the pasture, and I have checked every place. There will be no danger of collapse."

The cowsheds of many ranches are made of wood, which is easy to be crushed by snow in winter. There are also houses where ranchers live. The number of houses near Garrison has decreased a lot in recent years. In Lisko’s memory, the most common ones in childhood Even if someone's house collapsed, the big guys would ride horses to help.

After all, David is an experienced veteran. As soon as he heard Lisko's question, he knew what he meant and explained it clearly.

"That's good."

Lisko nodded and finished the coffee in his hand.

"Okay, let's get started."

Lisko stretched his waist, and suddenly entered the warm room. He felt a little drowsy, and wanted to end things here as soon as possible and go home to catch up on sleep.

In the cold winter, the most comfortable place is undoubtedly by the fireplace and in your own bed.

"Okay, sir."

Speaking of business, David's expression became serious, he took out a folder from the drawer beside him, and handed it to Lisko.

Lisko opened it, and it listed various expenditures and incomes for the year, as well as time and pictures of receipts and payments.

"All our rye this year has been brewed into beer. We earned 5 million dollars at the Oktoberfest. At the beginning of the year, we bought 1,300 calves at a cost of 1.2 million dollars. Currently, we have sold 800 calves with a profit of 260. 100,000 US dollars, the income from vegetables is 700,000 US dollars, plus the balance at the beginning of the year, the current account balance of the ranch is 7.2 million."

Of course, the money was after the purchase of the Little Loon Ranch was removed. Lisko nodded involuntarily as he looked at the expenses and income.

David saw that Lisko had approved it, and then spoke.

"A part of the $7.2 million will be set aside for next year's purchase of calves, various seeds, and pasture costs. The basic cost of building the hotel is $1.7 million."

Because the hotel is built in the ranch area, the land is free of charge, so the price is greatly reduced. In addition, the construction company is its own, and it only charges a little profit, but the construction strength and decoration supplies are all used. Top, in this regard, also saves a lot of money.

Compared with the previous two years, this income is already much less, and Lisko has no idea of ​​withdrawing money from the ranch account.

"It's still the old rule. The money will still be kept in the account of the ranch to meet the unexpected needs of next year."

Because there were very few transactions involved, Lisko quickly completed the review and returned the ledger to David.
