Lisko’s American Life

"Since you've made your plan for next year, just follow it. I don't have any opinion, but remember to prepare the configuration of the hotel after the completion of the hotel, and the service staff should be arranged. And I read your plan, and it will be done next year. If we increase the cultivation of rye, is there a shortage of cowboys in our ranch?"

Lisko raised his own questions.

"I have made corresponding preparations for this, I have already greeted the mayor, and recruited corresponding personnel nearby. There are still many ladies in the town. After we recruited, after training, we will be able to take up jobs soon, and the work place is far from The home is very close, and the loss of personnel can also be avoided.”

"I also made plans for the rye issue. When I was working in other ranches before, I met many cowboys who were mainly part-time workers. With just a phone call, I could find a group of people to work."

In the cowboy industry, not everyone likes to work on a ranch all the time.

In the freedom-loving country of the United States, some people just like to work only when they have no money. After earning some money, they will choose to leave their jobs and do what they like, such as traveling.

Lisko nodded and approved David's plan, so that he could feel a lot more at ease.

Back at the castle, he picked up his mobile phone on the desk. Lisko rarely likes to bring a mobile phone when he goes out. First, because the technology of mobile phones is not so developed now, he can't solve everything in future generations with a mobile phone. Second, Packed in the pocket heavy, uncomfortable.

Looking at the information, it showed that Lubo had just called him.

Found the number and dialed it.

"Hey, Lee."

As soon as the phone rang twice, it was directly connected. It could be seen that Lubo had been waiting beside the phone for a call back.

"What's wrong? Lubo?"

Lisko made it to the chair and stretched his waist.

"Do you know how much your new book sold?"

There was an undisguised surprise in his tone.

"How many?"

"With 830,000 copies, we once again broke the record held by ourselves and raised the standard to 120,000."

Lu Bo's expression is also incredible. He knows that Lisko is more popular in the book market now, but he never expected it to be so popular. The new book "The Little Prince" directly became the best-selling work on the first day in the United States.

"That's not bad, beyond my expectations."

Li Ke was also very surprised to hear this news. In his expectation, he could sell more than 600,000 copies on the first day, but he did not expect that there would be more than 200,000 copies.

"Random House conducted a survey, and the reason for this result is because of your performance on the Ellen Show. Everyone wants to see your new book. In addition to the word-of-mouth of your previous works, most of the buyers are parents, many People take this book as a Christmas present, and I believe that this Christmas, the number of people who take your new book as a Christmas present will far exceed that of electronic products in previous years.”

Lisko can't deny that he is not interested in how much wealth his new book can bring to him. Take JK Rowling, the richest author in the previous life, for example, all her assets are no more than % of the current investment company. Ten, money is just a string of numbers to me now.

What's more important to him is the huge fan base that comes with it, and the increased popularity.

Hearing Lisko's silence, Lu Bo hesitated, finally gritted his teeth and spoke.

"I haven't mentioned this to you, just because I'm afraid you won't see it, Li, we have been friends for many years, and I believe this time will continue. In my eyes, you are the most talented in the world. Writer, no one can compare to you."

After a pause, Lubo continued to speak.

"In October, we didn't receive a Nobel nomination, I know you're upset, but you're still young, not yet thirty years old this year, you still have a lot of time, this honor will be yours one day Yes, the most inspirational time for a creator is when you are thirty to forty-five years old, and according to this statement, you have not reached your peak."

"I think the most important thing you need to do now is to lay a foundation for your position in the literary world. Nobel is there, and the door will be opened to you soon. If you get it early, don't you have no purpose in life? "

After speaking, Lu Bo anxiously waited for Lisko's answer. He had kept these words in his heart since October, just because he was afraid that Lisko would not be able to think about it, the number of calls he made in his daily life also increased, and he deliberately avoided promises every time. Bell thing.

This year's Nobel Banquet was over on the 10th a few days ago. Many American literary newspapers used the term "defeat" to describe Lisko's defeat.

Originally, according to Nobel's standards, the names of writers who entered the big list were not announced to the public, but this society is made up of people. As long as awards are selected by people, absolute justice cannot be achieved.

Each judge has his own social circle, and there are always people who can't save face asking, more or less news has come out, and the specific situation is from Lisko's mentor.

In this selection, Lisko is on a par with the Norwegian writer Kay McKee, but Kay McKee's works in recent years are indeed very good, and his literary quality is very high, and the judges are also fluctuating between the two.

In the first selection, two people voted evenly, the chairman of the jury made another selection, and Lisko lost by a difference of three votes.

The tutor has also analyzed~www.readwn.com~ I think the problem lies in Lisko's age. There is really no one in their twenties who has won this award. After all, the Nobel is the world's top literary award. Many The judges' opinions were to wait and see Lisko's performance.

In this way, Lisko missed the award this year.

To say that Lisko has no turbulence in his heart, it must be false. After all, this is the highest award in the literary world, and it is the goal that every writer is pursuing.

When he first heard the news, he also had indignation and complaints, but as two months passed, he has now seen it.

Yes, I am still young, if I get this easily, my life will really have no purpose.

Lisko felt that with his salty fish character, if he won the Nobel this year, he would probably close the pen because he didn't pursue it anymore.

As for The Little Prince, this book can be regarded as a classic no matter what world it is in, and I believe time will give it its corresponding status.

Maybe in a few years, everyone will think that this year's book did not win the Nobel, is the loss of this award.
