TOKYO -- Just days after Donald Trump was elected president, SoftBank Group CEO Masayoshi Son contacted an acquaintance with ties to the incoming U.S. leader. "I want to meet Donald Trump," Son said. "Would you be able to help?"
That acquaintance is believed to be the American casino magnate and major Trump campaign donor Sheldon Adelson. Son got to know Adelson 23 years ago, when as an unknown software distributor he bought the renowned computer expo Comdex from the now 83-year-old.
