After playing the game against the Kings, the Suns returned to Fenex, while Leon stayed in California for an extra day and went to Los Angeles to spend time with his wife. Pen %Fun %Cabinet www.biquge.info Khomeenez is now in a state of expectation, and the affairs of his brokerage company have been handed over to professional managers to take care of, and it can be said that he has received quite a rich return on his venture investment many years ago.

Especially after the CAA agency took his previous team under its umbrella and took all the shares, Khamenez's worth has greatly surpassed that of her husband, which occasionally makes Leon feel a little shameless, after all, he always wears like a "million dad" on the court, and once the game is over, Leon will change back into civilian clothes, so that the clothes match his second-hand car.

For several years, Ms. Khomeenez has lived in Santa Monica Beach, a celebrity retreat center in Los Angeles where you can meet Hollywood stars from time to time. Leon has never had much interest in the entertainment industry. There is another piece of capital paradise, it is said that culture and sports are not separated, and many sports stars will know those entertainment stars, walk the red carpet, invest in small film and television companies, invest in movies, and so on.

But Leon was used to living in Boston, and to this day he is still a little uncomfortable with the beautiful beaches of Los Angeles and the blue skies and white clouds, and he has long been accustomed to the icy Atlantic Ocean and always gloomy skies in Massachusetts. So every time he came to Los Angeles, he would choose to go out and hang out with Ayatollah Khomeenes at dusk. He took Khomemenes' hand and walked barefoot on the fine sand, the temperature of the sun during the day was still left in the soft sand, and it was comfortable to step on it.

The sun was slowly disappearing from the sea, but it was still struggling to let out its last glow, the clouds on the horizon were dyed crimson, and black dots could be seen dancing on the clouds, the seabirds that continued to feed on the sea, and they were making their last feeds before the sun set.

Summer is over, the tourist season in Santa Monica Beach is over, and the weather is gradually getting colder, so there are not many people on the beach in the evening. Leon took off his coat and draped it over his wife, and the two of them enjoyed the beautiful sunset on the beach together. However, the scenery is so romantic, but the conversation between the two is not romantic at all.

"What about housing prices in Santa Monica Beach? Is there a continuing upward trend? Leon asked, looking at the sunset but thinking about the house price.

"There is still an upward trend, and it seems that the growth rate is still rising, why, do you want to buy a house with your own money?" Ms. Khomeenes said she had bought several houses in Santa Monica Beach herself, all at her own expense, one for herself and the rest for investment or rent.

Leon shook his head when he heard this, and said: "I think it's best for you to sell it as soon as possible while the house price is still rising, and after a while, the house price in the United States may not be able to hold up." ”

If others say that, Khomemenes will definitely think he is crazy, because housing prices in the United States may be stronger than the hegemony of the United States, which has been going up for so many years. But when Leon said this, Khomemenes had to think about it, not only because Leon was his husband, but also because she knew her husband, and he was a gambler who had no last resort.

So even though Khomeenez didn't want Leon to leave college and return to the NBA, she ultimately supported her husband's decision, knowing that her husband's decision must have been deliberate and well-reasoned.

Khomemenes didn't speak, she knew that Leon would have an explanation, and sure enough, Leon continued: "You can look at your own house, you bought several of them, but that place is all such investment vacant houses, some people buy them, but no one lives in them." “

Khomemenes interjected: "So what, there are always people who want a house, and even if no one buys it, I hold it in my hand, and the house will not rot." I don't care about that property tax. "In the U.S., property taxes are levied on vacant homes, but California's property tax is about 0.7 percent, which is a bit of a no-brainer for Khomeenes.

Leon said: "That's because you bought the house with all the money, and you didn't have a loan. But the fact is that not everyone has the financial resources like us to buy a house in full, and many people buy a house with a loan. Have you ever wondered what it would be like if so many people buy a house and no one takes over, if the buyer can't afford to repay the loan? ”

Ayatollah Khomeinith still looks incredulous, and in her opinion, personal mortgages are the most stable and least risky of all loans. A company may owe a bank loan due to poor management and bankruptcy, and as long as the individual is still living in this society, he must repay the loan. Housing prices in the U.S. have been on an upward trajectory so stable over the past few decades that for most people, the president will change, but housing prices won't fall.

But Leon wasn't the one to think so, and he continued: 'I know you don't believe it, but I've looked up a lot of banks' first-hand credit information, and you know, some people's mortgage lenders are dogs. A dog! The bank can even lend him a dog, do you think a dog will repay the loan? “

"But ......"

"I've also looked at how some banks sell CDOs in a package, where they package high-quality loans and subprime loans, and if you average them, you can get a good rating. But in reality, nearly half of all loans are at high risk of default. Do you understand what I mean? They should use the median, not the average, which is meaningless here. If I'm not mistaken, big investment banks like Goldman Sachs and Morgan are already in action. ”

Leon's words sounded incredibly convincing, and Khomemenes only hesitated for a moment before asking, "So, what should I do?" Sell the house and then what? ”

"Then give me the money, and I'll find a way to multiply that money tenfold." Leon said as he looked at Khomemenez.

Khomemenes smiled and said, "Then as an investor, I want to divide ninety." “

"Ninety percent is too much, isn't it?"

"We will take eighty percent of the children in our wombs, and we will take half of the rest."

"Okay, I agree."

……………………

The next day, October 14, León returned to Phoenix alone to prepare for the team's second preseason game. Next, the Suns have a total of seven preseason games, which are against the Hornets, Jazz, two Clippers, Bobcats, Nuggets and SuperSonics. Judging from the opponents, there is only one eastern team from the Bobcats, and the others are all western teams. None of the opponents are very strong and their style of play is more attacking, which is good news for Leon, because it allows him to better experiment with his tactical routines.

However, on the night of the 14th, in the home game against the New Orleans Hornets, the Suns were fiercely attacked by the peaks led by Chris Paul, and the Suns' problems on the defensive end were clear, and Chris Paul was like no one in the first half. In the end, the Hornets defeated the Suns by 9 points, 119-110 on the road, and it looks like there will be another strong rival in the West this season.

After the game, Leon did not criticize the team's defense, but stressed that if we can score 120 points, then we will not win this game.

In the next games against the Jazz, Clippers, and Bobcats, the Suns' performance has been unstable, because Leon's lineup rotation is too frequent, constantly permutations and combinations, and there is never a stable set of rotations, which makes the Suns' assistant coaching staff a little anxious. If you can't fix a stable rotation during the regular season, it will be detrimental to a long regular season.

But Leon didn't seem to care, even in the last game of the preseason, Leon was still experimenting, and he even unexpectedly put on a top leaky lineup of Barria, Nash, and Jasco Waisius in the game against the SuperSonics. You know, the Suns' first opponent in the regular season is the Seattle SuperSonics, and it's no wonder that their backcourt is not broken by the new Durant.

And this preseason game also relied on Nash's key three points to barely win, which can be regarded as a successful end to the Suns' preseason. But everyone's hearts are still very worried, from the players to the coaching staff to the fans, everyone is thinking, can we win the regular season if we play like this? Can you win the championship in the playoffs?

No one knew, and neither did Leon himself. It's just okay that everything is still in his plans.
