Chapter 30 Lubo's Visit
Kez's store is a historic deli restaurant in New York. It opened as early as 1888 and has been in a booming business to this day, attracting countless celebrities and tourists to check in.
After entering the door, each customer will receive a small ordering card. After ordering at the service desk, the waiter will place the ordering notes behind the small card. After using the meal, line up at the door to check out the small card. Li Sike and the other person will record it on a small card, and the empty card must be handed over to the cashier.
The store is very decorated. The photo is a dining area next to the wall, with menus to order, waiters delivering meals, and of course there are 15%-20% tips. The photos are photos of many celebrities coming to the deli for dinner, including Russian presidents, actors, athletes... They are Barbara Streis, Serena Turner, Bruno Kirby, Bruce Willis, Dan and four US presidents, as well as former Russian Prime Minister Chernomelkin.
Thousands of tourists from all over the world flock to Katz to dine in this legendary deli for the most delicious sandwiches, platters and meats.
Li Sike ordered two of their signature dishes, pastrami sandwiches, and several thick pieces of cooked beef in the two slices of bread. It was paired with sour cucumbers and secret sauce. It looked very large, and one of them could help you fill it up, which was very satisfying.
The sandwich was served very quickly. Lisco went to pick up the meal at his own pickup. The sandwich had a very solid half-pound of beef. He tried to eat a bite a bite, but the heavy taste was the feature of this restaurant. It is said that the owner is Russian.
The meat is very tender and juicy, and the beef is sliced by hand, so the beef will not break through with this method of cutting.
Lisco also observed the dining process around them. They had a location that marked the seats for the filming that year, and also humorously wrote "Hope you have what she had! I hope you are the same as her."
Meghan ran to take a photo with her seat with her full interest. The restaurant provided a photo, each photo was one dollar, and the shooting seat was lined up with girls waiting to take photos.
After using the meal, Li Sike went to check out. The store only collected cash and could not swipe the card. Li Sike was notified when ordering, so he took out the change prepared early, and the two of them only spent thirty dollars in total.
Early in the morning, after finishing washing, Lisco ordered breakfast in the hotel. The breakfast was cowbo, fried eggs and sandwiches. The breakfast here was free. Lisco waited in the hotel after using up. He made an appointment with his agent Lubo Megan to change his clothes and go to the StayFit fitness center in the hotel. In her words, it is necessary for an excellent actress to maintain her figure at all times.
The door was knocked quickly, and Li Sike opened the door. Lu Bo, who had a big belly, was already at the door. He was wearing a custom handmade suit and a golden ring on his hand. It is said that this was a custom passed down by his grandfather, so that he could bless himself without illness or disaster.
"Lu Bo, you're a little fatter." Li Sike stepped forward and hugged him.
"Hi, Li, the doctor said I have vascular diseases. I have quit drinking for half a year. You don't know how painful I am. There is no way, life is important." Lu Bo followed Li Sko into the room.
"Didn't you hear you have a girlfriend? Why didn't you see it?" Lu Bo looked around.
"I'm going to exercise," Lisco replied, pouring a glass of water on the sofa and handing it to him.
"How are your business recently? Are there any excellent new authors?"
"Don't mention it." Lu Bo waved his hand in annoyance, "I had the hope of signing a writer. His new book was on the top 50 of the sales list, but was snatched away by the dog bastard Logan."
Logan is also a very famous literary agent in New York. When Li Sco first debuted, he was poached by Logan several times. Lu Bo formed a bond with him. The two met him and were sarcastic.
"I understand. I have used up all my luck when signing you. I have also rested my mind and took care of your copyright. I am old and have poor health." Lu Bo was a little depressed. He was scared since this physical examination. The doctor told him that if he continued to drink, he might not live for five years.
He went from a small civilian to the top literary agent in New York City now. Lisco was at a high level. If he was in poor health, it was the season of harvest. What's the use of all his property?
"How is Danley recently? Is it okay to study?" Lisko asked his son. Lu Bo divorced his wife when he was young. At that time, they already had a son Danley. However, when Lu Bo loved alcohol and the court awarded his son to his ex-wife. However, Danley and Lu Bo had a good relationship. It was also because of his encouragement that Lu Bo worked hard and became a literary agent.
"I studied well and graduated soon. The internship has booked the New York University Medical Center." Speaking of his son, Lu Bo's face was full of satisfaction.
Danley studied very well. When he was in college, he took the medical school. Li Sco wrote him a letter of recommendation and enrolled in an American university. This celebrity's letter of recommendation is very important. He went to the University of Pennsylvania to study neurology. Lu Bo's family finally produced a doctor. In the United States, doctors, lawyers and accountants are high-income people and have a high social status. The family's three types of professions really changed the family threshold.
"Li, is there a leader in the new book?" Lu Bo asked. He was very concerned about the progress. Because Lisco's reputation rose, he experienced a lot of convenience. If Nobel won this time, Lisco would have a prominent position in the United States and the world literary circle.
"Some leaders are here, and I will start writing after Christmas." Lisko took a sip of water. He thought about it for a long time and decided to write the next book "The Little Prince". This book has a high status in literature in history and is popular all year round, which is very suitable for his current situation.
“How is the copyright operation?”
"Very good. All three of your books have been authorized to translate 24 languages, and all copyrights are authorized to be distributed, all of which are divided into share. The current fee is $360 million, and this number is still increasing."
Li Sike is very satisfied with these returns. This is the capital he started with, and the current funds of the investment company come from here.
After chatting about the main business, the two began to relax. Lu Bo took out the gift he was preparing to give Li Sike.
He took out a beautifully bandaged gift box and handed it to Lisco.
"I saw this in my office in France some time ago. I thought it looked very good, so I chose one for you."
Li Sike took it with some surprise. Lu Bo has always been like this. Every time he gets with Li Sike, he always brings some gifts. It may not be very valuable, but he is carefully selected and creative gifts, which can be seen very attentive. People's hearts are full of flesh. Because of Lu Bo's intentions, Li Sike feels very happy to get along with him.
Li Sike opened the gift box and put an amber bookmark inside, with a red Chinese knot tied on it. In the amber was a fiery red maple leaf.
"You often read books, so you will definitely use them." Lu Bo felt very proud when he saw Li Sike watching repeatedly, and he was very proud. Giving gifts is a big deal. Giving gifts is a bit of a big deal. When others use them, they will think of you when they see them. Although he came from the low point with Li Sike, he also needs to maintain them at all times.
