Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 148 You Will Kill

"Bang, bang, bang..."

On the streets of Koreatown, a group of Korean residents took their own weapons and shot at the black people who were looting and smashing the streets;
Burning buses, damaged buildings, and looted shops are among the sights.

At night, on the balcony of Bel Air Manor, Aaron looked at Koreatown and the south-central part of Los Angeles with a telescope, and there were still flames rising into the sky!

"Police have abandoned these areas and are stationed in large numbers in wealthy areas. South Central Los Angeles and Koreatown have suffered the most;"

"However, here in Koreatown, these Korean immigrants are using force against black people. There is now a curfew from 7pm to 6am!"

Aaron was on the phone with Jack Wells, who was near East Hollywood and knew better.

"How's it going over there? Are you safe?"

Aaron inquired.

"Don't worry, there aren't many black people here. There are large shopping malls here, and there's enough security. You should stay in Beverly Hills for the next few days. Don't come out. Los Angeles is basically in chaos right now!"

Jack Wells was also observing the street from his window with a telescope. "The blacks are venting their anger and seeking revenge."

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

When they arrived in Koreatown, the slogan changed to "Revenge for Natasha Harlins" because Natasha Harlins, a black woman, was shot dead by the supermarket owner, a Korean woman, when she was robbing a supermarket in Koreatown.

After Jack Wells spoke with Aaron on the phone, he saw a group of black people walking towards the street, and they were confronted by a group of police and white residents.

"Fuck," Jack Wells cursed, and went downstairs directly with the automatic rifle on his back. He wanted to help!

"Sheriff Billy, are these guys being dishonest?"

Jack Wells is not alone, there are several people from Angel Security Company here.

"Jack," the sheriff was a little nervous. A police car was blocking the road with guns on display. Not far away on the opposite side were black people burning trash cans!
"Fortunately, they shouldn't dare to come over."

The police kept shouting at the opposite side, asking them to leave and go home.

Jack Wells looked across at the other side, disgust evident on his face. "We should suppress it with armed force. Where are the National Guard and the Marines?"

"These guys are lazy and only know how to cause trouble. They're a complete cancer. Los Angeles has suffered countless losses throughout the day!"

The main groups involved in the riots are blacks and Spanish-speaking Hispanics.

Billy patted Jack Wells on the shoulder and comforted him, "It will be soon. Tomorrow morning, the National Guard and the Marines will enter the city..."

On the other side, after Aaron spoke with Jack Wills, he also spoke with women such as Nicole Kidman and Sophie Marceau!

After returning to the living room, Jennifer Connelly was sitting on the sofa watching the news on TV. "Is Los Angeles going to fall?"

"Fall, poof!"

Aaron leaned back on the sofa and said, "Don't worry, we are very safe here. Not to mention that there are police officers all around the community;"

"As for us rich people's bodyguards, we are not afraid of those black people at all."

What's more, there is the advantage of weapons. People like Aaron have a lot of weapons and ammunition stored in their houses.

The next day, tens of thousands of National Guards and Marines entered Los Angeles and worked with the Los Angeles police to stop the civil unrest.
With the arrival of the army, the civil unrest in Los Angeles was quickly quelled, but the losses caused were not small, especially to the Koreans in Los Angeles, who suffered the greatest losses!

A few days later, the riots were completely quelled, but 850 families in Los Angeles were left homeless, 58 people died, and more than 2300 people were injured; a total of more than 3000 buildings were burned or destroyed, 3000 businesses were affected, and an estimated 20000 to 40000 people were unemployed. The economic losses in Los Angeles were about $10 billion!
On May 5, the curfew in Los Angeles ended, and the public transportation system resumed normal operations across the city, and Los Angeles International Airport also returned to normal;

The White House Office also announced that the federal government will provide $6 million to help repair Los Angeles, half of which will be Small Business Administration loans and the other half will be cash grants.

"Bush, it's really tragic that you have to deal with something like this while running for re-election?"

Aaron and Jack Wills sat in an office at the Angel Theatre in West Hollywood, watching the news report on television.

"Only so few people died?" Jack Wells said with a look of disbelief.

"By the way, Aaron, I'm going to the Soviet Union next!"

"What Soviet Union? They call it Russia," Aaron said, taking a sip of his wine. "Over there, there's a shortage of supplies and the economy is shrinking."

"Yeltsin carried out radical privatization economic reforms and implemented shock therapy, which provided him with unlimited opportunities!"

Jack Wells smiled awkwardly. "You know, I don't understand economics or finance. But if you ask me what the advantages and disadvantages of a certain type of gun are, I can tell you."

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

"In the future, when the ruble depreciates, you can exchange a small amount of US dollars for an equivalent amount of rubles, and you will earn a lot of US dollars!"

Aaron put down his glass and said, "There should be quite a few American investors in Russia now. Those guys should be very professional."

"The United States is buying up the Soviet Union's decades of accumulated wealth. We can also follow suit and earn some money."

"Hey, keep this business card. It's from Leon Cooperman of Omega Advisors, a hedge fund. This is the fund he founded last year."

"This guy is currently focusing on the Russian financial market. I invested $1000 million in the Omega Fund!"

Aaron said as he handed Jack Wells a business card.

"Okay, I'll go talk to him then."

Jack Wells wasn't too interested. After all, he had stayed away from finance since Jordan Belfort's securities fraud.

His current idea is to make Angel Security Company bigger and stronger and enter the arms market!
Aaron shrugged and said, "When you get to Russia, if you need money, just call me."

Jack Wells nodded.

After leaving West Hollywood, Jack Wells and Aaron Anderson went to the Koreatown area where the losses were the most severe!
"I used to live here, luckily I moved away!"

Aaron looked at the streets of Koreatown filled with smoke and ruins, and his heart seemed to be a little moved.

Jack Wells smiled and said, "Don't worry, if you hadn't moved away, you would probably go on a killing spree!"

Aaron pursed his lips. It was very likely. Aaron's principle had always been to seek revenge on anyone who dared to hurt him.

"A Molotov cocktail was thrown at the door of one of our cinemas. Do you want to go see what's going on?"

Aaron was stunned, "Where?"

"In Hollywood!" Over the past two days, although the heaviest damage occurred in South Central Los Angeles and Koreatown, other areas also suffered losses;
There were rioting crowds in Hollywood, West Hollywood, Culver City, Midtown Wilshire, the southern neighborhoods of Beverly Hills, and many other areas.

"Let's go and take a look. It seems we have suffered losses too!"
