Lisko's American life
Chapter 2 The Rooster Takes Over
After driving along the highway for half an hour, a slightly simple gate appeared.
"Bo, I came to see you."
Lisko stopped the car and shouted at the door that American castle law is not a joke. If you enter someone's home without permission, they really have the right to kill you.
Soon, a well-groomed man in his fifties who had his beard repaired came out. He was wearing a denim jacket with pockets and some brand-new denim shoes on his feet.
"Lee,"
Bo stepped forward and hugged Lisko, "Welcome back, will you buy your father's ranch?"
"Of course," Lisko knew what he meant.
"Good.boy" Bo is more satisfied.
Liske handed him two bottles of wine, "Jack Daniels, I collected it specially, I wanted to give it to my father, now you can try it for him."
Bo took the whiskey and looked at the packaging carefully. There was a smile between his brows, "Go, go in, I just made a steak."
Li Sike followed to the dining table, the stainless steel rice cover was lifted, and a particularly large steak was placed inside, and the aroma was overflowing. Li Sike followed with his knife and fork to enjoy the food.
After the meal, Lisko took out a special Cuban cigar.These cigars are gifts he received in the literature club. In the United States, there are many connections in a circle. When he was going to school in New York, he was introduced by his mentor and entered a club dedicated to the literature department of Yale University. Of course, he was young. He was nominated for the Nobel Prize in Literature at a small amount, and his club's relationship is also very effective. After all, this world is not something you can do if you are talented.
Bo took a deep breath, "A great cigar, I haven't smoked such an authentic cigar in a long time."
Liske smiled and began to say his purpose.
"Bo, I just bought the Li's Ranch for seven million, and I plan to settle here in the future, but you know, although I grew up on a ranch, I used to be a nerd and I don't know anything about ranch."
Bo listened and motioned for him to continue.
"So, I wonder if I can find a rooster to help me, after all, he has been helping you with the pasture for more than ten years.
Bo thought for a while, "The cock is not good, he will screw it up."
Li Sike was a little anxious, "Bo, the rooster is thirty years old, he is not a few years old, the chicks always go out to fly. Let him try?"
Bo still shook his head and refused. Lisko was a little disappointed. The cock grew up with him. Although a little unreliable, he was still very skilled at work. He had to stand up and leave and find another way.
Li Sike received the lawyer who handled the acquisition in the afternoon, handled all the documents that needed to be signed, and checked his current assets.
"Mr. Lisko, your assets are as follows. There is a villa near New York University with three cars in it with a total value of 30 million U.S. dollars. It has been changed hands at 45 million U.S. dollars and the proceeds have been transferred to your Citibank account. , Spent seven million US dollars on the acquisition of Lee’s Ranch. Random House has already invested 36 million US dollars in royalties from the previous quarter. The investment company under your name holds 3.5% of Google and 7% of Oracle , Intel 0.7%, Microsoft 3%, Apple 3%, Antbank 15%, LinkedIn 7.3%, and Citibank account balance of 325.27 million US dollars."
Li Sike listened to the financial staff’s report and felt that his current asset investment was reasonable. He knocked on the table.
"Investment companies go to Rabbit Country to open mainland offices, and give priority to contacting companies under investment," Lisko took a pen and wrote down some company names.
"Communicate well when investing. We can provide them with assistance in listing. Don't seek rights. What we do is angel investment. We only want to make a profit by listing. We can hand over the shares to the company's existing chairman of the board."
The financial officer quickly notified him of the order. Lisko lay alone on the sofa, with a smile on his mouth, "It's great to be born again, one-handedly bombed."
Li Sike drove to Li's Ranch, some of the children's doors hung a sign, "Pony Jasmine Ranch".
He curled his lips, picked up the stone from the side of the road, and smashed it in twos or twos, and opened the door. Lisko stood at the door, looking at the familiar plants and trees inside, and sighed, this is the foundation of his ancestors for several generations. Now I take it back and take good care of it. I don’t want to make money here, and I only need to use it for my own use.
He walked forward and saw his villa. The villa had three floors. The first floor was the living room, kitchen, and gym.There are five bedrooms on the second floor, and a garden on the top floor.
He picked up the phone, "Hey, David, come here."
David is a cowboy in his forties. He makes a living by doing odd jobs on the ranch in the town. Maggie introduces him to Lisko, who soon decided to hire him as a ranch worker and signed a contract. The salary is seven hundred dollars.
"Clean up the pasture, change the sign, then see what is needed, and give me a list. In the future, the pasture will mainly grow pasture, raise dozens of cows, buy a few quark horses, and leave a piece of land to grow vegetables. Plant all lavender and fish in the lake."
David took out his notebook and thought about it, "BOSS, the ranch needs a baler, the bullpen needs repair, the gate is repaired, and two pickup trucks are needed."
Liske waved his hand, "Go ahead, and bring me the bill then."
He went to the town house to take his luggage, returned to the ranch, put the books given by the club seniors into the study, took out the special laptop given to him by Apple, and made a pot of tea. The tea was specially made by him. I ran to Chinatown to buy Biluochun for more than ten dollars, the one he liked the most at home in his previous life.
"Comfortable."
Lisko was basking in the sun and swaying on the recliner. The carefree life here was really the days he had dreamed of for a long time, and his nerves that had been tense until now were relaxed.Soon he fell asleep with shaking.
When he woke up, he was covered with a quilt. He opened his eyes and looked at Jasmine, who was busy in the kitchen.
"Jasmine," Lisko yelled.
"Boss, eat steak tonight?"
Jasmine quickly turned around and asked that Jasmine was David's wife, and Lisko later let her take care of her own food and hygiene, and assigned them a house in the staff dormitory on the ranch.
The staff dormitory was built after the former rancher took over from Lisko’s father.
"Either way, thank you for the blanket." Lisko didn't have much pursuit of what to eat.And in the ranch, most ranchers eat steak.
He made up his mind that next time he went to Chinatown, he would buy some ingredients and cook some Chinese food by himself. Everyone would be bored to eat the same thing every day.
Lisko went upstairs and took a shower. He was cool and he saw the rooster coming in as soon as he went downstairs.
"Hey, brother,"
The cock and Lisko had a chest bump.They haven't seen them in a long time since Lisko High School left town.
The rooster is now thirty years old and has all the characteristics of an American man, with a big belly, a thick beard, and slightly curly hair.
"Brother. I heard you want me to help you manage the ranch?"
The rooster asked hurriedly as soon as he sat down.
Lisko took out a beer from the refrigerator and handed it over. He knew it was the rooster's favorite.
"Yes. You know I don't know anything about ranch. My main profession is a writer. I'm currently preparing a book to hit Nobel again."
He took a sip of beer and hit the cock.
"I mainly maintain the follow-up ranch. For my own needs, I want to develop it into a family ranch, planting some non-GMO vegetables and grains, brewing some beer, and raising dozens of cows. But you know, Bo refused. Up me."
The rooster took another sip, "He has always treated me as a kid."
Li Sike saw him doing this, so he persuaded him, "Bo is also for your own good, how about you discuss with Maggie?"
The rooster nodded silently.
The next day, Lisko just woke up from his sleep when he was confused by the rapid phone call.
"Hey, I'm a rooster. Maggie persuaded Bo. I can work at your place. Should I call you the boss now?"
Li Sike's spirit came, "Really? Great, I need you to take over a lot of things here. Today you go to David to participate in the cattle auction. This is what you are good at."
"Of course, please prepare your check, I will be rewarded."
