Chapter 153: The Journey of Buying a House (Asking for Recommendations, Asking for Collections)

"Mr. Glen Rice, could you please sum up the reasons for the loss in this game?"

"Mr. Bee, please explain why you scored 22 points in the first three quarters and didn't score in the last quarter against Kobe's defense?"

"Kobe Bryant said that when he started defending you in the fourth quarter, you were trash-talking to him like crazy, what did you say? Is it a B-word word? ”

"What do you think of Kobe Bryant, who scored 3 steals and 2 blocks on you in the fourth quarter, and he said in the post-game interview that it is easier to defend you than to defend O'Neal's grandmother."

Glen Les wanted to speak and burst into tears, how to answer this question.

No, my All-Stars are gone.

Not only are I an all-star, but I don't even have as much place in history as O'Neill's grandmother now.

I want to cry, but there are no tears left.

At this moment, Kobe Bryant has finished his interview. Back in the locker room for physiotherapy, Jeff was stretching and relaxing.

"Kobe, I met an old Chinese medicine doctor, and his acupuncture is amazing! I buy a pair of needles, do you want to try it? ”

"Well, Jeff, I'm willing to try acupuncture, but not yours. Would you please study for two more years before testing it on the human body? ”

While the two were chatting and discussing physiotherapy, Kobe's phone rang.

"Boss, congratulations on winning today's game! That guy from Rice was repaired by you! Pelinka's voice came from there.

"It's a little meaning, it's easy." Kobe Bryant didn't care, and it couldn't be easier to pack up a projection player in his opinion.

"That's the big idea! eBay's first year of 3 million signing money has been credited to your account! ”

"Great! Rob, I'm relieved of you. "Kobe Bryant, this is really good news, now there are more than 3.9 million US knives in hand.

"By the way, boss, if you don't want the vampires from the tax office to come to your door. We need to complete the fixed asset investment as soon as possible, and I have selected a few Los Angeles properties according to your requirements, which you can visit at any time. ”

"Yes, I'll go see it tomorrow morning after training."

The next day happened to be a day off, and Bryant decided to go out for a walk. Since coming to Los Angeles, he's been living in an apartment close to the team's training gym, and it's time to buy a house in the suburbs.

Downtown Los Angeles is easily accessible, but it's still a bit noisy. Although it is convenient to go to the stadium for training, as a football player, you can't live in an apartment for the rest of your life.

While some stars such as Dennis Rodman have been living in apartments all the time, most people think that millionaires still have a bit of a discount on apartments.

Kobe Bryant has several needs for choosing a house, the first of which is that there must be a stadium and a gym around. This is a hard indicator, if there are no two things near home in the future, then Kobe Bryant will definitely not be able to live.

Training is Kobe's vocation, and unless he retires, Kobe Bryant will not let up one day.

The second requirement is seclusion, Kobe doesn't want to be guarded by paparazzi all day after his residence is exposed, so he must find a high-end community.

The third is that he can't live in a remote area, and he doesn't want to take a helicopter anymore. Kobe Bryant doesn't plan to touch the helicopter in his life!

After such a round of screening, it took Pelinka a lot of effort to delineate a few communities. He contacted the property experience and took the keys to the house.

The next morning, Bryant completed the first round of morning training. Bryant likes to put cardio training in the morning, which allows him to sweat slightly, but not overwork.

Pelinka led the property sales manager to Kobe's apartment early in the morning.

"Boss morning~" Pelinka greeted Kobe Bryant with a grin.

Kobe Bryant has already made 4 million in his account, and after deducting a series of things such as tax rates, he can get at least 100,000 US dollars according to 4% of his income, which is an astronomical amount for an agent who is just getting started.

In this era, the average income in Los Angeles is only $10,000 or 20,000 a year, and the income of more than 100,000 dollars is comparable to the top elites on Wall Street.

These incomes are all thanks to Kobe, and if Kobe Bryant hadn't been able to discern people, he might still be in a law firm now.

"Rob! Early. Kobe, who had just finished breakfast, was wearing a gray pullover and stepping on a pair of penny silver-white sprays, and the whole person looked energetic, full of mature and confident aura that his peers did not have.

After some pleasantries, the group embarked on a trip to visit the houses, and in Los Santos, mansions can be described everywhere. Los Angeles is bordered by the San Pedro Bay and Santa Monica Bay coast on the eastern side of the Pacific Ocean, with the San Gabriel Hill in the background. It can be said that there are mountains and rivers, and outstanding people.

Los Angeles is located in the Mediterranean-type climate zone with a mild climate. Even in winter, daytime temperatures often reach more than 20 degrees Celsius, attracting a large number of wealthy people to come for vacations and retirement.

Sun, sand, youth, vitality. It's a wonderful Los Angeles, but there's also a lot of dark side to the glossy exterior of Los Angeles. Los Angeles is the eighth largest economy in the world, and when we think of Hollywood, we think of sunny beaches, freedom and fashion, but at the same time, it is also one of the cities with the most homeless people in the United States.

In the summer, daytime temperatures in Los Angeles often exceed 35 degrees, and even wildfires are often caused by heat waves. The wildfires brought a steady stream of smoke to the mountains northeast of Los Angeles.

This time, of course, Bryant will not choose to continue to buy that piece of house, this time Kobe Bryant chose to choose a group of villas near Dopanga State Park in the southwest.

This one is backed by the Santa Monica Mountains, and about 5 kilometers south of the Wilrogers Beach. About 10 kilometers east is Beverly Hills. It's just that the Great Western Forum Arena is a bit far away, and it takes about an hour to drive and count the congestion time.

Visiting different neighborhoods as if it consumes Bryant an entire day's time. I saw more than a dozen villas, some large and some small, some with luxurious decoration, and some were just empty shells.

The community is also an important part of Bryant's investigation, and what kind of neighbors are very important. With a good community, the chances of crime are greatly reduced. And even in one of the nation's top cities like Los Angeles or New York, a chaotic neighborhood or slum is full of gun-toting gangs. Bryant didn't want to be woken up by gunshots in the morning, so community scouting was very important.

And for the sake of future children (crossed out) daughters, educational resources near the community are also very important. Fortunately, the educational resources in Los Angeles are very good, and with the celebrity effect, it is very easy for Kobe Bryant to enroll in any school.

Bryant's first tour was over, and he decided to consider it carefully before buying. He is not a hairy boy, and it is impossible for him to settle this matter on the spot so frizzy.

After all, he is still a small millionaire, and he must at least become a billionaire to be proud, right?
