Lisko’s American Life

Chapter 70 The New Book

With the surprise of being recognized by his mentor, Lisko lay on the long-lost bed, and fell asleep with the familiar fragrance on the quilt.

When Li Sko came out, he brought his laptop with him. During the few days at the tutor's house, he calmed down and slowly finished the rest of the book "The Little Prince". Of course, he still showed it to the tutor immediately. .

Bermer is used to printing manuscripts on manuscript paper, and he feels that there is no texture on electronic devices. After studying with him for so long, Lisko must have known about this quirk. He also printed it out with a printer and gave it to him.

The full text of "The Little Prince" has 295,000 words, and it is printed out in a thick stack. Bermer, wearing gold-rimmed eyes, savored it quietly in the study, while Lisko sat aside and waited for his evaluation.

"I always thought I was rich and had a unique flower in the world; in fact, what I had was just an ordinary rose. An ordinary rose..."

"If it were me, if I had fifty-three minutes to use freely, then I would leisurely walk towards a clear spring."

"Ancient houses, stars, and deserts—what gives them beauty is something unseen..."

As Bermaner flipped through the pages, from time to time he saw some sentences that surprised him even after reading them.

Bermer also thinks that Lisko's book is very good. He likes Lisko's ideas very much. The book "Rye Field" made him famous among the students. This book is aimed at children, and no parent will refuse such a book. A book that teaches children to yearn for truth, goodness and beauty.

He put down the manuscript in his hand, and looked at some young and excessive disciples in front of him, he really felt jealous in his heart, and felt as if all the literary spirit in the world had been taken by him.

"Okay, it's excellent." Bermer calmed down and expressed his surprise without concealing it.

Lisko's book reveals sharp satire and criticism of some ugly phenomena in society. Bermer also had some concerns about whether it would be reflected on politicians, but he quickly relieved that he could still block the sins of literati writing.

Childhood is an era of longing for miracles, pursuing warmth, and full of dreams. In contrast, adults are lifeless, lustful for power, and superficial in vanity. "Adults should follow the example of children". Liskot chose a child's perspective to see the world, using the child's innocence, curiosity, and desire to know more about the world to tell stories to adults, especially to those "childlike" adults, let them borrow The imagination of the little prince temporarily forgets the desire to belong to the adult world, flies back to childhood, and reflects on real life, discovering the true meaning of life.

Bermer was really full of praise after reading it. This book may not win an award, but it is definitely a work that can be among the top five best-selling books.

Patted Lisko's shoulder,

"You are better than I expected."

The moment of tenderness passed, Lisko said goodbye to the reluctant Mary and everyone, and made a promise of "absolutely come back often in the future", and Lisko left the castle under everyone's gaze.

Back at the hotel, Lisko quickly contacted his agent. Lu Bo has been calling him for the past few days. Lisko knew that his mentor didn’t like these literary agents very much. I understand that it is unavoidable to have a broker to take care of chores in society nowadays, but I still don't like to see these people, so I had to arrange for Lu Bo to wait for him to return to the hotel before discussing.

"Hey, Rubeus."

"Li, I've been waiting for you for several days. Are you in the hotel now?" Lu Bo's tone was eager.

"Yes, I just came back," Lisko shrugged embarrassingly. He originally planned to come back in two days, but he couldn't bear Mary's strong persuasion, so he had to stay for a few more days. Lu Bo also waited for a long time.

I told him the room number, and soon there was a knock on the door.

Lisko got up and opened the door, "Lubo."

He reached out and patted Rubeau's belly.

"Finally see you," Lu Bo's tone was full of resentment. He was originally negotiating a copyright contract in the UK. When he heard that Lisko had finally come out of the ranch, he hurried back. Unexpectedly, he still waited here for several days. .

As for rushing into the manor to meet, Lu Bo thought about Bermer's unfriendly eyes, and felt trembling in his heart.

"How about the copyright deal recently?" Lisko watched him sitting on the sofa with difficulty. Lu Bo has become fatter and fatter in recent years, and the hardcover and custom-made shirts can't restrain his growing belly.

"Very well, Li, your works are still very popular in the copyright market, mainly because of their excellent works. I never go to find clients, and a lot of clients come to look for us."

Lu Bo took a sip of water, with some pride in his tone.

Then he explained the recent company dynamics to Lisko.

"We have received news that many institutions have submitted the book "Rye Field" to Sweden. We can only wait for the specific results. After all, we cannot get into this award. At present, the literary awards in Britain, the United States and Europe have been swept away by us. We The company specially ordered a few trophy holders in a hurry.”

Li Ke usually didn't like to collect these trophies, so Lu Bo took them and placed them at the entrance of the company. Everyone who entered the company would be attracted by the rows of trophies.

Rubaux also often brings new writers who have just signed to pay their respects here.

"Here is the honor for our company's shareholder, Lisko, who wrote three books, and you will be successful in the future."

Just like a master of success.

Lisko flipped through the report, and after the book "Rye Field" was included in the recommended reading books for middle school students in the United States, the somewhat stagnant sales began to soar again, and the publishing houses in other English-speaking countries also kept sending good news. The current book is also listed under the document all proceeds.

"The total sales share is 170 million yuan, and the copyright income is 90 million yuan."

Lisko is still very satisfied with this result. This time, his income has increased a lot compared to the previous two books. After all, Lisko's popularity has been rising.

After returning the documents, Lisko still recognized Lu Bo's work.

"This is the new book I wrote recently. It looks at the world from a child's perspective. You can take it to Langdon and talk about the increase in the share."

As soon as Lu Bo heard the new book, he immediately showed a speed that didn't fit his body, bounced off the sofa, and flipped through the printed manuscript paper a few times.

Lu Bo looked at it carefully for a while. Although he is not a literary connoisseur, he has been an agent for many years and has his own level of appreciation. Big hit, because this time the target is kids.
