Clinton Shows His Hand

Under Aaron Anderson's arrangements, Jack Wells spent 60 million US dollars in cash plus 50 million US Dollars in bonds to acquire 5% of Sheldon Adelson's Las Vegas Sands shares;

Sheldon Adelson did not ask Aaron to reduce his 10% stake. Giving up 5% was only a minor matter to him.

"You still have that much cash on hand?"

After leaving the conference room, Aaron asked Jack Wells with a puzzled expression. He had even been planning to lend him some money.

Jack Wells spread his hands. "Not to mention Angel International's accounts—even my personal accounts have enough;"

"Earlier, I also sold some Microsoft and Cisco shares I'd bought before. That brought in over 80 million US dollars!"

Aaron shrugged. "All right. Actually, I'm still fairly optimistic about Microsoft, but the bubble really is a little too high right now;"

"Once this period passes, we can see which tech companies are worth investing in."

Jack Wells was not particularly interested. "By the way, are you heading straight back to Los Angeles, or somewhere else?"

Aaron thought about it. The US Presidential Election was now nothing but a Rashomon affair; it was enough to keep an eye on it. "Los Angeles. Later, I'll probably have to make a trip to Texas and Washington D.C.!"

Jack Wells said, "I'm heading straight back to Texas..."

On November 26, Florida Secretary of State Harris announced the results of Florida's Presidential Election recount in Tallahassee, the state capital. George W. Bush had received 537 more votes than Al Gore in Florida's presidential election, thereby winning the state;

Naturally, the Republican Party was thrilled by the result. George W. Bush immediately delivered a speech, declaring victory in both Florida and the nationwide Presidential Election and preparing to assume office as the next American President.
