Chapter 430 July
Fording is an excellent intermediary in the San Francisco area.

In the past century in the United States, there have been more than two real estate bull markets, and the cumulative increase has reached 2%.

The big bull market from 1943 to 47 was due to the industrial and consumer demand brought about by World War II. The average annual growth rate in these five years was 5%, and the average growth rate after deducting inflation was still 17%. It was followed by 10-1974, with an average annual growth rate of 1979%, but the annual growth rate was only 11% after deducting inflation.

It is not easy to achieve positive growth after deducting inflation. Most of the time, the growth rate of the real estate bull market is not as fast as that of inflation.

Since last year, the bubble in the information age has collapsed, and the real estate industry has started a very conspicuous increase.

It has even affected the overall real estate in the San Francisco area, and a large number of intermediaries have poured into this industry.

Fording is a veteran in this industry, but he has also felt some pressure in recent days and has become more anxious.

Before, he approached a rich man from Toronto through an introduction.

Today is the day when the two met, and Fording ran to the airport very enthusiastically to welcome the guest.

In fact, as an intermediary person, he didn't need to be so enthusiastic.

But the current situation is that even though it is a seller's market, the intermediary business is still very intense, with a lot of meat and monks, if you don't work hard, you can only feed your stomach with air.
In consideration of "rich people", Fording rented a commercial vehicle.

But when the family came out, he found that his arrangements were still not in place, and many people came across.

Fording's sweat came out all of a sudden.

"Don't worry, we can wait."

The tall and tall man in the lead was gentle and elegant, and he was not angry at all because of the other party's mistakes in arrangement.

In fact, if it wasn't for Fording's strong recommendation to pick him up at the airport, Dell Curry would have planned to arrange the vehicle himself. Moving is not an easy task, and they always have a lot of luggage on them.

Fording has some connections, and quickly arranged for a wider vehicle, plus the previous commercial vehicle, and finally accommodated the family.

"Mr. Fording is an old San Francisco native. How many years have you lived in San Francisco?"

Dell Curry is also a person who is good at talking. After everyone got in the car, they started talking with Fording.

Fording was busy back and forth, and he felt relieved when he saw that the family was friendly.

He spoke very freely: "I grew up in San Francisco since I was a child. This is my hometown. I am 41 years old this year, so I have spent almost 40 years in San Francisco!"

"Oh? You were born in San Francisco!"

Before going to the Raptors, Dell Curry has been settled in Charlotte. He is indeed not very familiar with San Francisco, and the Warriors have not had much contact.

Therefore, a person like him with a family and a family always has a lot of worries when going to a new city.

Fortunately, the Warriors seem to be more reliable. Qin Fei also talked to him on the phone and encouraged him to go to San Francisco to live.

So chatting with "locals" will help him understand a local living situation and check whether it is suitable for living and working.

"Yes, San Francisco is really a great city, sir, I promise, you will fall in love with it in the future."

Fording advertised his hometown, then noticed Dell Curry looking out the window.

Outside the window, the endless flow of taxis and cars created a picture of urban traffic. On the side of the road, there was a huge billboard. On the front of the billboard, the entire Warriors team that had just won the championship was printed. Behind the billboard, there was only a handsome picture of Qin Fei holding the ball with one hand.

"This is the Warriors, the pride of our city."

Fording began to notice that this time the guests seemed to be paying attention to the billboards on the roadside.

He is not a basketball fan, and he is busy with various affairs every day to earn money to support his family, but he also knows the Warriors, which is a super team that broke the dust-laden 30-year record for the Warriors. He also knows Qin Fei, the only core of the Warriors today, a multi-billionaire in the league, and a superstar.

Fording talked eloquently: "Qin Fei is too strong. For a team like the Warriors, he can win the finals. I remember watching a game last year. The Warriors were defeated by a miserable team. What is the name of that miserable team? It seems to be a Portland team."

"It's the Portland Trail Blazers."

The children of Dell Curry's family reacted quickly, saying the name of the guessed team.

Fording smiled: "Yes, it should be the pioneer."

He looked at Dell Curry's child. There were five members of his family. In addition to the Dell Curry couple, there were two boys and a baby girl who was still in his arms.

"By the way, sir, what kind of house do you want?"

Qin Fei accepted a set of talk programs from a local TV station.

He may not be very keen on other TV programs, but interviews are easier for him to accept. In this form, he can play as he pleases.

In addition to Qin Fei, this talk show also invited the head coach of the Warriors, Carlisle.

The two visited the studio of the TV station together.

On the day of the recording, one or two hundred audience members were invited to the studio, which is not too many.

The host was a mature 30-year-old woman wearing a long red dress. Qin Fei and Carlisle sat on the prepared sofa.

"Have you ever been on a talk show before? Isn't this your first time?"

The host asked with a smile.

Before Qin Fei could speak, Carlisle was the first to speak: "Qin Fei has been on programs like this, but for me, the post-match press conference should be the one that faces the most cameras."

Carlisle's answer was stern, not the answer the host wanted.

She turned her eyes to Qin Fei, and Qin Fei said with a smile: "Although it is not the first time, it feels different every time. After all, it is not always possible to meet such a beautiful hostess."

Qin Fei was eloquent and teased the hostess on the spot. Carlisle held his forehead, obviously a little bit too much for him.

The hostess was stunned for a moment, but then she covered her mouth and laughed, looking at Qin Fei with more meaning.

She has never seen any storm, and it may be the appearance of making it.

The three of them then chatted, and then the director at the scene announced that the preparations had begun.

The talk show will officially start.

After a brief introduction, the background screen switched to the Warriors' winning process this season, and then on the screen, Qin Fei appeared N times, as if he was the leading actor.

"They are stars in the San Francisco area, household names, and they have made brilliant achievements in the past year, becoming idols of countless young people, and causing a new trend."

After the host's opening remarks, he said with a smile: "We are also honored to have invited two characters from the Warriors today. They are Qin Fei and Rick Carlisle!"

Carlisle and Qin Fei waved their hands accordingly, greeted with cheers and applause from the scene, which can be regarded as a greeting.

After a brief opening, the host talked about the Warriors' season.

"So, what do you think is the most memorable thing that happened to you in the Warriors this season?"

As soon as this question was raised, Qin Fei laughed and replied: "It goes without saying, we must have won the championship."

After Qin Fei finished speaking, everyone would smile heartily.

Carlisle is also a thug, and followed suit: "Yes, winning the championship is indeed the most memorable thing."

"Following the trend can't do it. Coach Rick has to say something else." The host immediately grabbed Carlisle and asked questions after him.

Qin Fei happily sat on the side, watching Carlisle eat with a smile.

Carlisle is worthy of being a first-class coach in the league. He has a thick face and strong psychological quality. As soon as he turned his mind, he immediately made up another impressive thing.

"In addition to winning the championship, the more impressive thing is the 7 fierce battles with the Los Angeles Lakers. This is our most difficult game, and we almost lost the series."

Carlisle said bluntly: "The Lakers are very strong. They have the first record in the regular season. They have the most dominant player in the league, Shaquille O'Neal, and they also have superstars like Kobe Bryant who are both offensive and defensive. We once fell into a desperate situation and were almost eliminated."

"Then how did you overcome the difficulties later?" The host showed good professionalism and asked actively.

Carlisle looked at Qin Fei and said with a smile: "Qin Fei played the most important role in it. He is the key to the team's ability to break through the Lakers."

"He played a phenomenal performance, almost using his own power, and kept dragging the game into suspense. In the end, we won the series through the key ball competition, which was very thrilling."

Following Carlisle's narration, people's thoughts seem to return to the smoky playoffs more than a month ago.

Qin Fei said modestly: "Actually, it's okay. I'm not as good as the coach said. I only averaged about 35 points per game, plus seven or eight rebounds and seven or eight assists. I'm the core. These outputs are necessary."

"If I don't export, who will export?"

He justly rejected the coach's flattery, and felt that he was the only one who could make the point.

Audience and host:
An hour later, Qin Fei finished the interview for "Road to Champion".

The gorgeous hostess sent him and the head coach Carlisle to the broadcast hall with a smile. Before leaving the TV station, the hostess secretly slipped a small note to Qin Fei.

Under Carlisle's calm gaze, Qin Fei silently stuffed the note into his pants pocket.

Carlisle didn't say anything, and neither did Qin Fei.

At this time, the assistant coach Woodson who was waiting outside rushed over.

"what happened?"

Carlisle frowned.

"It's about the Los Angeles Lakers trade."

Lakers?
At this stage, the teams that can make the Warriors attach the most importance, there is no doubt that the Lakers are one of them.

Although the Lakers lost to the Warriors last year, as Carlisle said, it was very thrilling. The two teams were almost evenly matched, and even the Lakers have always been the dominant side.

It's just that the Warriors seem to be better in terms of luck, player status, etc., so the Warriors finally won the series.

Let the two teams fight for another round, and the outcome is still unpredictable.

So when he heard the news about the Lakers, not only Carlisle was very solemn, but Qin Fei also pricked up his ears.

"Just got the news that the Lakers sent away the team's star player Glenn Rice."

Glen Rice was sent away?
This is another breaking news.

After hearing this, Qin Fei thought it was very scientific. In all fairness, Glen Rice didn't play well with the Lakers last season.

This is often the case in the NBA. When there are "Twin Stars", usually the "Twin Stars" can promote each other, and even make each other better, but once they enter the category of the "Big Three", then someone must sacrifice. The Lakers chose to sacrifice last season. Glen Rice.

In the Lakers last season, Glen Rice averaged only 15.9 points per game, a new low since his rookie season, and his three-point shooting percentage was only 36.7%.

More importantly, in the Lakers playoffs, Glen Rice didn't have much effect.

What should be released on the offensive end is still to be released. Once the defensive end is misplaced and meets Qin Fei, it is often passed by in one step.

The Lakers desperately need a more defensive wing player, at least using Glen Rice to get back enough chips.

So after two seasons of cooperation, the Lakers finally chose to sell Glen Rice.

Also traded with the Lakers are the Knicks, the Suns and the Sonics. This is a rare four-party deal.

In addition to Glen Rice, the former All-Star, Patrick Ewing of the Knicks was also involved in the transaction, involving a total of 12 team transactions among the four teams.

Ewing, who spent his professional career with the Knicks, still scored 15.9 points and 9.8 rebounds last season, but his ability to protect the frame in the penalty area has fallen to the bottom, and he can't beat a young Heat team like Mourning who plays inside.

So the Knicks sent Ewing away, determined to change.

In the end, Ewing was sent to the Sonics to form a new "old version of the Big Three" combination with the two leaders of the Sonics, and the strength of the Sonics scene greatly increased.

The Knicks returned a group of lesser-known players, and the Lakers got their wish to strengthen the wing and power forward positions. "Cobra" Hollis Grant joined the Lakers.

The Suns have harvested draft picks, and it seems that there are signs of rebuilding.

"The Lakers will definitely not give up their pursuit of the free market easily. They should have talked about this deal for a long time, and it is probably only the first step."

After Carlisle listened to the details of the transaction, he concluded that the Lakers abandoned the Big Three model and changed to a more balanced team model around "OK", while the Sonics took advantage of Payton's last peak, hoping to come back with a wave of Jedi counterattacks. Stud Ewing formed the "Big Three" and hit the championship again.

"The Rockets have proved that this is not possible, but the Supersonics still want to try again. The key point is how much combat power Kemp has left."

Qin Fei is not slandering his former teammates, but based on his understanding of Kemp, this guy's calves are now thicker than others' waists, and it is considered good to be able to have 70.00% of the strength of the original violent dunk, so it seems to be the Big Three. The only one who can really be called a giant is Payton, who was in the first team last season.

"The enemy is a paper tiger."

Carlisle was very pleased with Qin Fei's final conclusion.

No matter what the outside world looks like, Qin Fei will always look confident.

This is probably the reason why Qin Fei dared to save the team in times of crisis in this year's playoffs.

A true warrior comes from a strong heart.
