Hollywood starts with an agent

Chapter 253: Scared into a cold sweat

Late at night, in the dark bedroom, Aaron was sleeping soundly in bed with Jennifer Aniston in his arms!

Suddenly, the house shook, instantly waking the two of them up. Aaron sat up straight away, a little dazed, "What's going on?"

"Oh, there's an earthquake!" Jennifer Aniston screamed.

"FUCK, run out!" Aaron was so scared that he broke out in a cold sweat and rushed out of bed.

Jennifer Aniston, looking frightened, quickly jumped out of bed and wanted to put on her clothes.

"Don't wear anything, just wrap yourself in the blanket," Aaron and Jennifer Aniston were both naked, but there was no time for that;

They pulled the quilt together and wrapped it around themselves.

"Ah," Jennifer Aniston fell down when she rushed out of the bedroom!

Aaron turned around, pulled the other person up, and then the two of them hid in the corner. Jennifer Aniston hugged the man tightly.

The entire earthquake did not last long, only 30 seconds, but Aaron was so frightened that he broke out in a cold sweat!
After casually putting on some clothes, he went outside with Jennifer Aniston. There were also many people in front of the surrounding houses.

Soon, Aaron received the news that a magnitude 6.6 earthquake occurred in the Northridge area of San Fernando Valley in Los Angeles!

"It's a little after 4 o'clock," Aaron checked the time, hugging Jennifer Aniston in his arms, "Tonight is such an exciting night..."

等到天亮之后，1994年1月17日凌晨4点17分，洛杉矶北岭地区发生6.6级大地震的消息，很快就被民众所知；
In addition to the collapsed buildings, the highways, viaducts, power grids, gas pipelines, and waterways in the North Ridge area were also severely damaged!

Although the earthquake caused great damage to Los Angeles, the government also worked hard to provide disaster relief;

However, on the red carpet of the 1994 Golden Globe Awards for American Film and Television held a few days later, Hollywood stars were still glamorous and the atmosphere was warm.

At the Golden Globe Awards dinner held at the Beverly Hills Hilton Hotel, "The Piano Lesson" won the Best Motion Picture - Drama and Best Actress awards;

"The Philadelphia Story" won Tom Hanks the Best Actor in a Drama, and the Chinese film "Farewell My Concubine" also won the Golden Globe Award for Best Foreign Language Film without any controversy!

At night, in the villa in Bel Air, Aaron lay in bed hugging Christiana Yeri and sighed, "It seems like a lot of people died this time?"

"Well," Christiana Yeri said, hugging the man with a rosy face, "the newspaper said that the earthquake killed 62 people and injured nearly 9000 people;"

"More than 2500 buildings were destroyed, with more than 4000 severely damaged. A total of more than 11000 houses collapsed, leaving more than 25000 people homeless."

"It's indeed a fault earthquake zone," Aaron said, shaking his head and stroking Christiana Yeri in his arms!
The Los Angeles earthquake caused huge losses to the Los Angeles economy and also had a huge impact on American insurance companies.
The insurance industry paid out approximately $125 billion in losses due to the Northridge, California earthquake!

Current California Governor Pete Wilson also came to Los Angeles from Sacramento to personally participate in disaster relief efforts;

The American Red Cross also cooperated with the government in disaster relief management.

The Bradbury Building in downtown Los Angeles.

Governor Pete Wilson, California Senator Dianne Feinstein and other politicians joined a group of Los Angeles celebrities to hold a charity dinner!
Aaron specially attended the dinner with Jack Wills and talked about this year's California gubernatorial election.

"Pete Wilson handled this crisis brilliantly!" Aaron sipped his champagne. "I think Pete Wilson should be able to be re-elected."

Jack Wells smiled. "So you're planning to support Pete Wilson?"

"It's not really support, but we're definitely going to send our funds over," Aaron shrugged. That's the rule of the game.

"I'm more optimistic about Senator Dianne Feinstein. She'll be re-elected this year, so we should still strongly support her!"

Mrs. Dianne Feinstein, whom Jack Wells favored, was the first female mayor of San Francisco;
In 1990, Dianne Feinstein ran for governor of California as a Democratic candidate and lost to Republican Representative Pete Wilson.

When Pete Wilson officially became governor in January 1991, his original California senator seat became vacant;

Dianne Feinstein won the special election in 1992 and was successfully elected as a U.S. Senator from California!

Aaron smiled and nodded, "Of course."

In current California politics, Governor Pete Wilson is a Republican, but with Clinton taking office, California's Democratic consciousness has become stronger;

Not only are both California senators Democrats, but the state assembly speaker, Willie Brown, who is black, is also a Democrat and a die-hard Clinton fan!

"There are more and more liberals in the Greater Los Angeles area now;"

"I got the news that Orange County is heavily in debt and may very well go bankrupt this year!"

Aaron curled his lips. Orange County is the Greater Los Angeles area, the Republican stronghold.

Jack Wells was stunned for a moment, "We now support George Bush Jr. and Pete Wilson, these Republican governors;"

“Will it affect some of our investments in the Democratic Party?”

Aaron smiled. "What's the impact? Who isn't betting on both sides these days? As long as the people related to us can develop in the political arena, they will be rewarded."

"Supporting Pete Wilson is normal. We are a California company, and this is an investment in the present. As for George W. Bush from Texas, it is an investment in the future."

"If George Bush Jr. is elected governor, we'll get more in return. Besides, his father was president of the United States. Who would think he wouldn't dream of taking the presidency?"

Investing in George W. Bush is investing in the future, and the long-term future at that;
If you start investing when you are still a nobody, and then George W. Bush becomes president, your profits will only be greater!
"Okay, you make sense," Jack Wells said, although he was a little hesitant, he would never object to Aaron Anderson's decision.

Who can achieve such great achievements at the age of 24?
"Let's go, it's time for us to get to know them and build some rapport."

Aaron patted Jack Wells on the shoulder and asked, "How long do you plan to stay this time?"

Now Jack Wells often travels back and forth between Houston and Los Angeles. After all, he is Aaron's representative in the Houston Rockets.

"About a week..."
