Hollywood starts with a broker

“Bang, bang, bang…”

On the streets of Koreatown, a group of Korean residents were using their weapons to shoot at the black people who were smashing, looting, and robbing on the streets.

Burning buses, damaged buildings, and looted stores, and so on.

In the evening, on the balcony of the Bel Air mansion, Aaron was looking at Koreatown and South Central Los Angeles with binoculars, which were still filled with flames!

“The police have abandoned these places and stationed a large number of them in wealthy areas. South Central Los Angeles and Koreatown have suffered the most;”

“However, in Koreatown, these Korean immigrants are confronting the black people with force. Now there is a curfew from 7:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.!”

Aaron was on the phone with Jack Wellstone, who was near East Hollywood and knew more clearly.

“How is it over there? Are you safe?”

Aaron asked.

“Don’t worry, there aren’t many black people here. There are large shopping malls here, and the security is strong enough. You should stay in Beverly Hills these few days and don’t come out. Los Angeles is basically in chaos now!”

Jack Wellstone was also observing the street from the window of his room with binoculars, “The black people are venting and retaliating.”

When the black people were smashing, burning, and looting in South Central Los Angeles, they shouted the slogan “Revenge for Rodney King;”

When they came to Koreatown, it became the slogan “Revenge for Latasha Harlins,” because the black woman Latasha Harlins was shot and killed by a Korean grocer while robbing a store in Koreatown.

After Jack Wellstone finished his phone call with Aaron, he saw a group of black people walking down the street, confronted by a group of police officers and white residents.

“Fuck,” Jack Wellstone cursed, picked up the automatic rifle next to him, and went downstairs. He wanted to do his part!

“Sheriff Billy, are these guys being unruly again?”

Jack Wellstone wasn’t alone; there were several people from Angels Security Company here.

“Jack,” the sheriff said nervously. Police cars blocked the road, and guns were pointed at the black people burning trash cans not far away!

“It’s okay, they shouldn’t dare to come over.”

The police kept shouting at the people on the other side, telling them to leave and go home.

Jack Wellstone looked at the people on the other side, his expression of disgust clearly visible, “They should be suppressed by force. Where are the National Guard and the Marine Corps?”

“These people are lazy and only cause trouble. They are simply a tumor. Los Angeles has lost so much today!”

The main groups involved in the riots were black people and Spanish-speaking Latino people.

Billy patted Jack Wellstone on the shoulder and comforted him: “It will be soon. The National Guard and the Marine Corps will enter the city tomorrow morning…”

On the other side, after Aaron finished his phone call with Jack Wellstone, he also spoke with women like Nicole Kidman and Sophie Marceau!

Back in the living room, Jennifer Connelly was sitting on the sofa watching the news on TV, “Is Los Angeles going to fall?”

“Fall? Pfft!”

Aaron leaned back on the sofa, “Don’t worry, we’re very safe here. Not to mention that there are police around the community and everything;”

“Our wealthy people’s bodyguards are completely unafraid of those black people.”

Moreover, they have the advantage of weapons. People like Aaron have quite a stockpile of weapons and ammunition in their houses.

The next day, with tens of thousands of National Guard and Marine Corps entering Los Angeles, cooperating with the Los Angeles Police Department to stop the internal unrest;

With the army, the internal unrest in Los Angeles was quickly quelled, but the losses caused were not small, especially for the Koreans in Los Angeles, who suffered the greatest losses!

A few days later, the riots were completely quelled, but they left 850 families in Los Angeles homeless, with 58 deaths and more than 2,300 injuries;

A total of more than 3,000 buildings were burned or destroyed, 3,000 businesses were affected, an estimated 20,000 to 40,000 people lost their jobs, and Los Angeles suffered an economic loss of approximately $1 billion!

On May 4, the curfew in Los Angeles ended, the bus system resumed normal operation throughout the city, and Los Angeles International Airport also returned to normal;

The White House Office also announced that the federal government would provide $600 million to help repair Los Angeles, half of which would be Small Business Administration loans and the other half cash grants.

“Bush, this is really terrible. He encountered such a thing during his re-election campaign?”

In the Angels Theater in West Hollywood, Aaron and Jack Wellstone were sitting in the office, watching the news reports on TV together.

“Only this many people died?” Jack Wellstone looked incredulous.

“By the way, Aaron, I’m going to the Soviet Union next!”

“What Soviet Union? It’s called Russia,” Aaron took a sip of wine, “Over there, there is now a shortage of supplies and an economic recession;”

“Yeltsin has carried out radical privatization of the economy, implementing shock therapy, and there are unlimited opportunities!”

Jack Wellstone smiled awkwardly, “You know, I don’t understand economics and finance at all. You can ask me what the advantages and disadvantages of what type of gun are, and I can tell you.”

“Uh, okay, simply put, the Russian ruble will depreciate. If you can borrow a large amount of rubles from Russia now to buy US dollars;”

“When the ruble depreciates in the future, you can exchange a small amount of US dollars for an equivalent amount of rubles, and you will earn a large amount of US dollars!”

No one can make a mistake!

Aaron put down his glass, “There should be many American investors in Russia now. Those guys should be very professional;”

“The United States is acquiring decades of wealth accumulation in the Soviet Union. We can also follow behind and earn a little.”

“Here, keep this business card. Leon Cooperman of Omega Advisors, this is the fund he founded last year;”

“This guy is currently focused on the Russian financial market. I invested $10 million in the Omega Fund!”

As Aaron spoke, he handed Jack Wellstone a business card.

“Okay, I’ll talk to him when I get there.”

Jack Wellstone wasn’t very interested. After being scammed by Jordan Belfort’s securities fraud before, he had kept his distance from the financial sector;

His current idea is to make Angels Security Company bigger and stronger and enter the arms market!

Aaron shrugged, “When you go to Russia, call if you need money.”

Jack Wellstone nodded.

After leaving West Hollywood, Jack Wellstone and Aaron Anderson made a special trip to the Koreatown area, which had suffered the most damage!

“I used to live here. Fortunately, I moved away!”

Aaron looked at the streets of Koreatown, which were full of smoke and debris, and felt a slight fluctuation in his heart.

Jack Wellstone smiled, “Don’t worry, if you hadn’t moved away, you probably would have gone on a killing spree!”

Aaron curled his lips. That was very likely. Aaron’s principle has always been to repay those who dare to hurt him.

“One of our theaters had a Molotov cocktail thrown at the door. Do you want to go see how it is?”

Aaron was stunned, “Where?”

“In Hollywood!” A few days ago, although South Central Los Angeles and Koreatown suffered the most damage, some other places also suffered;

Hollywood, West Hollywood, Culver City, Mid-Wilshire, the southern blocks of Beverly Hills, etc., all had rioting crowds causing trouble.

“Let’s go, let’s go take a look. It seems we have some losses too!”
