Whoever lives in Santa Barbara can be considered a bad mold!

Santa Barbara, a tourist resort on the Pacific Ocean, is located west of Los Angeles. It has a pleasant climate and beautiful scenery. Many Hollywood stars will buy their homes here. As a result, there are many luxury homes in the Valley, and the average house price is among the highest in California. However, hill fire incidents have occurred repeatedly.

Six months ago, a fire just devoured more than 200 houses in the city. Hollywood stars, including Avril Lavigne, suffered heavy losses. Today's fire directly issued a red emergency warning signal.

Speeding along the road, Andy and Ivana, who have been transferred to Long Beach, watched the live picture broadcast on the car TV showing that the fire was getting more and more intense by the wind, and many houses have been ruined. Among them are many expensive mansions, some Large buildings were not spared. A large number of fire trucks and several fire helicopters extinguished the fire in the disaster area, but the fire was still difficult to control.

"... at least 2,000 local residents were evacuated urgently, and about 1,200 people have been evacuated. There are still 5,430 dwellings facing the threat of mountain fire, and the affected population is expected to be around 13,575. 16 schools and childcare have been closed center..."

Listening to the interview of the spokesman of the local police station, Andy shook his head helplessly and said, "A fire is coming every three minutes. Los Angeles can be regarded as a land of disasters."

"California's wildfires are raging, but the east is extremely cold. Many states have experienced blizzards. Frequent natural disasters are not accidental. It is a reminder that the consequences of climate change are gradually showing in our lives. If greenhouse gas emissions are not enough, With severe restrictions, more devastating catastrophic weather is likely, and the future risks of climate change depend on human decisions about today. "

"Every country is also calling for a better protection of the global environmental climate. This year's United Nations Climate Change Conference may make a breakthrough in the issue of carbon dioxide emissions, which is a great thing for Tesla." Andy's arm said softly.

"Oh, if the United Nations Climate Change Conference adopts a carbon dioxide emissions agreement, then by selling Tesla's zero-emissions credits for cars, it will be able to achieve high profits of up to 50 million to 70 million US dollars per year." An Di smiled. To be honest about Tesla's profit problem, he has always been uncertain in his heart.

Andy's initial optimism for Tesla was not only to lock in the sports car-level market positioning, but also to make full use of the Internet's sense of participation and word-of-mouth marketing. Of course, the trick that Tesla really hits the traditional industry lies in the ambitious charging station supercharger plan.

But all along, and even next, Tesla will run wild with his eyes closed in one after another blowing bubbles, constantly circling money to spend money, really want to make money without loss, I am afraid some of them have waited, And Andy can determine the fixed income, I am afraid that only through "selling carbon" to achieve profit.

"... At present, 3 firefighters have suffered burns and respiratory damage of varying degrees, and another firefighter suffered a head injury. A fire truck was severely damaged during the fire, and the specific cause is still under investigation. Currently There are already more than 800 firefighters struggling at the fire scene, and about 1,300 firefighters are on standby. "

The horror picture of the scene of the mountain fire and the firefighters extinguishing the fire continued to be displayed on the car TV. Ivana could not help but move slightly, holding Andy's arm tight, "God bless them!"

"God bless them!" Andy also blessed those firefighters who were fighting the fire demon. After all, selfless and fearless, those who dare to put themselves in danger to protect the lives and property of others deserve respect from everyone.

In the eyes of Americans, firefighters are the most respected profession after scientists and doctors. Like many developed countries, the United States implements the profession of firefighters. Firefighters have always been regarded as civilian heroes in the eyes of Americans. The profession of firefighters has also been rated as one of the most respected professions by the public. Only ranked 26th.

"After the fact, on behalf of the Smith Foundation, you donated a million dollars to the Los Angeles Fire Department." Andy said.

"Okay, dear." Ivana said softly, leaning her head on Andy's shoulder.

After a 40-minute drive, the mighty convoy came to the Latin-style mansion on Long Beach. While Ivana directed the maids to clean up the room, Andy stood in the lush, sunny garden. In, I received a call from Rocket Manager Morey.

After the Rockets defeated the Trail Blazers to advance to the second round of the playoffs, the Rockets were excited about it, and it was especially significant for Rockets general manager Morey. You must know that Morey only officially took over the Rockets general manager position from Dawson in 2007. Not long after he officially took up the position of general manager of the Rockets, there was a huge change. The Rockets owner changed hands. To be honest, He was ready to be cleaned out at the time. Fortunately, the new boss did not choose to kick him directly, but continued to let him be the general manager.

Although there was no unemployment, Morey's pressure was very great at the time. In addition to making the Rockets profitable, he must always be careful of others' stabbing at his throne. Fortunately, after such a long time, his work is doing well Decentralized power to others, and finally got a foothold.

After the Rockets achieved the first round of playoffs in nearly 12 years, Morey was happy and like a child. "Boss, after the Rockets successfully break the first round of the playoffs, this will completely change the Rockets' bad reputation in the NBA.

Last night's game, our team's image in the United States and in Houston has changed, which is an indirect positive effect. People will not make a fuss about the Rockets' past embarrassing history, so I think this may be a good thing for the players and a good thing for the ticket sales. "

After breaking through the first round of the playoffs, our ticket sales started to get even hotter. On the team side, local time on Friday began to sell tickets for the Rockets' third and fourth games against the Lakers. There were no minutes after the tickets went on sale. Tickets for the sales quota for the two games were snapped up Empty. In addition to tickets to some Rockets season ticket owners and sponsors, tickets for the third and fourth games were sold between 3,500 and 4,000 last night. "

Listening to Morey's apparently encouraging report, Andy was also very happy. After all, nothing can make him more happy than making money. To be honest, he originally left a fat "data control" for himself. "Morey's decision to continue as general manager is still very wise. Morey brings another dimension of value to the Rockets.

Morey's greatest strength is data analysis and risk control. He has almost never seen junk contracts. He can keep the team's finances healthy. At the same time, through his analysis of the set of game data, it also helped Bob Myers "turn waste into treasure" for players that were not reused or not found by other teams. Andy also liked Morey's' spend a little money, Do big things' insistence.

Especially recently, the league issued a memorandum of revenue and expenditure data for 30 teams. The Rockets' profit ranked third, reaching $ 40.7 million, while the Net Los Angeles team with the largest loss lost $ 144 million. You know, the Rockets now have four All-Star players. In this case, it is still not easy to maintain profitability.

"The second game with the Lakers will be difficult to play. Regardless of winning or losing, returning to the home game in Houston, I hope you will let the Lakers feel our devil's home court, show home court advantage, and give the Lakers the momentum. Player pressure! "Andy said.

"Relax, boss, we will let the Lakers know that it is amazing." Morey responded confidently. He and the team management have already prepared a series of ways to improve the atmosphere at home, and they also know that How much the big boss attaches to the creation of the home atmosphere will not be taken lightly.
