America: My Time

Chapter 1002 Persuasion and Vigilance

Chapter 992 Persuasion and Vigilance
"But I'm just a little unwilling. Why should I give up? Why should I sacrifice myself!" Lee Boo-jin finally voiced her resentment. After all, it was indeed a bit unreasonable to ask her, the eldest daughter, to give up in the face of such a huge family interest. But judging from the current situation, she really had no chance.

"What good is it if you're unwilling? You can convince your father, you can change the status quo in South Korea, but you can't. Since you can't, you have to accept your fate. Besides, a short, sharp pain is worse than a long, drawn-out one. Cutting off this entanglement sooner is better for you and for everyone. Now you have your own direction, and even if you were to take over Samsung now, do you think you have the ability to control everything? Instead of struggling in a family where you see no hope and no future, you should come with me to start a business and walk your own path. South Korea is good, but it's far inferior to China. Perhaps Samsung will go further under your father's leadership in the future, but that won't be yours."

John paused here, then shook his head and said, "You reap what you sow, and everything is proportional. If you don't want to accept the constraints of the family, you naturally won't get the family's benefits. You should understand this. Don't let the temptations in front of you cloud your judgment. Once you've developed and expanded this company, you won't have such thoughts anymore. Like I said, don't focus on Korea. You should look to the long term and the world!"

Power and wealth—such temptations are irresistible, not to mention young people like Lee Boo-jin, even the old folks would find them hard to resist. John could understand Lee Boo-jin's feelings right now, but while he understood, he didn't want to see her continue to indulge in these temptations and embark on a perilous path!
"I know all of this doesn't belong to me, but I just can't let go!"

"It's right that you can't let go. Let me give you a piece of advice: cut off the old shackles of the past, and you will know who you are today! When you can let go of everything, then you will have walked your own path. Don't stay in Korea anymore. It's not a good place for your growth, because everything here will make you sink deeper and deeper without you realizing it. It would be better for you to go to Hong Kong or China. This will help you gradually let go of your obsession and stop harboring resentment!"

"Do you think it's better for me to go to Hong Kong or China?" Suddenly, Lee Boo-jin asked John this question. This was no ordinary question; it revealed her concerns about the company's development!
"If it were me, I would choose China. Although Hong Kong is very developed, it's too small, just like South Korea. Staying there too long will only narrow your horizons. China is different. You can witness the rise of a great power, which will broaden your mind. Besides, you know how big China's market is. If you've made your choice, then come with me. You don't need to pay much attention here anymore. Compared to that, China has much greater prospects!"

"Alright, I accept your opinion! However, there's something you need to be prepared for. Some people are dissatisfied with the development of Phoenix Group, and they want to take back the TV station. This isn't just the idea of ​​one or two people, but rather the idea of ​​many!"

"Heh, it's laughable that they dare to have such thoughts. Let them be. I also want to know who dares to cause trouble. I'm even more curious about who the bastards behind them are. I hope it's not what I suspect, but rather those oily capitalists causing trouble again. I can't deal with those oily capitalists right now, but I can handle them!"

John wasn't surprised by this situation. Toshiba in Japan had jumped out to oppose him again, and Mitsui had also taken a stand against him. There were also many other Japanese companies. Based on John's understanding of the Japanese capital, they either didn't act at all, or when they did, it wasn't so simple. They had already made their move in Japan, so there was no reason for South Korea not to. Moreover, they had already made their move in Europe before, so John was already prepared.

"You don't seem surprised. Did you already know this?"

"What's so surprising about that? When things went wrong in Europe, I knew things wouldn't be stable in Asia. Those guys in Taiwan can't affect us, let alone Hong Kong, and Southeast Asia is even less of a concern. If they dare to jump out, they should be prepared to be wiped out. China is not a possibility for them at all, so only South Korea and Japan are their targets. Now you understand why I'm not surprised at all!"

"Since you knew all this, why didn't you intervene? With your strength, you could have easily done all of this."

"Why should I stop them? If I don't let them come out on their own, how will I know who's a friend and who's an enemy, and how will I distinguish between those who are opportunists? Often, letting the enemy come out on their own is the best option. And don't worry about the small losses in the short term; we're after long-term benefits! Do you think this strong counterattack in Europe will make those hidden 'enemies' think and feel? Do you think the Europeans will dare to play these kinds of tricks with me again? Besides, haven't you noticed that the British are no longer on their side? You have to give to receive. The current losses are nothing; in the long run, it's a good thing. ASML will be able to go further and more steadily without the influence of the Europeans! Gulfstream will be able to develop more in Europe without Fokker, after all, the British have far more talent than those over there!"

"You planned all of this long ago, and everything was under your control?" Lee Boo-jin quickly realized that everything happening in Europe was within John's grasp. Many people only saw the losses of Gulfstream and ASML, but they didn't realize it was all John's scheme. "That's right, everything was under my control. If I couldn't even handle this, do you think I could still have a foothold in the US, or stand up to Rockefeller? Rockefeller is behind the US navigation company. I've clashed with them more than once. To become a member of a conglomerate, you have to face these many 'tests.' Only by defeating them and letting them know you're not to be trifled with can you gain everyone's recognition! I'll give you a few days to settle things here, and then leave. It's best not to come back unless there's a special reason, unless your older brother completely takes over Samsung. Otherwise, you should stay away. No matter how good the opportunity or reason you have in the future, don't interfere in Samsung's affairs!"

John was well aware of how ruthless and insane family feuds could be, having experienced them himself. It was precisely because of this experience that he wanted to remind Lee Boo-jin that while Samsung was a powerful company, it didn't belong to her. John didn't want to see this exceptionally capable woman dragged into the Samsung power struggles again.

If possible, John plans to give her more responsibility; for now, he's just using retail to hone her skills, as she still needs more experience. Even if Lee Boo-jin isn't in Korea, no one dares to touch John's assets there! They can use business tactics, but if you want to play dirty tricks, Korea doesn't have that kind of power.

John sneered inwardly at the thought that Oil Capital was digging its own grave again. Soon these guys would know what retaliation was, and what regret was. This time, he would make them pay a heavy price.

"What? You mean ASML will deliver on time? How is that possible? They were severely weakened by the relocation and need time to adjust. How could they possibly deliver on time?" At this moment, Nikon and Canon from Japan were dumbfounded. When they learned about the news from South Korea, they simply couldn't believe it.

“That’s right, that’s what Samsung in South Korea said. ASML will deliver on time. We all underestimated the situation in Taiwan. Perhaps it was a mistake for those guys to target Mr. John from the beginning. Everything they do is under Mr. John’s control. Moreover, the plan in Taiwan has not been a matter of just one or two days, but a long time!”

If ASML can deliver Samsung's order on time, it will demonstrate how shrewd John's plans are in Taiwan. Those guys tried to scheme against John, but he used the opportunity to accomplish his own goals. ASML's relocation has been a long-standing issue, as has the Fokker problem.

"Damn it, if all of this was John's plan all along, then we've been happy for nothing. And what about Mitsui and those guys? Were they also part of the enemy's scheme?"

"It's really hard to say. After all, our understanding of cars is limited, and even if we try to persuade them now, it won't work. Mitsui won't accept it, Toshiba won't accept it. This is their only chance to turn things around, and the government won't agree to it either. After all, if we do this, we will control our own destiny instead of being controlled by others!"

"Even with the best ideas, the results are disappointing. Do American navigation companies really have the ability to compete with global satellite navigation companies and vie for market share? I always feel there's a problem, and I even worry that this might be another setup!"

"Probably not. Even if Mr. John is incredibly capable, he wouldn't make such an arrangement. After all, that's a huge market share. If the entire Japanese market were lost, it would have a huge impact on global satellite navigation companies, and even affect the development of Nvidia and ASUS. No one can afford such serious consequences. Otherwise, no one would dare to set up such a scheme and gamble with their own survival and development. The consequences of failure would be disastrous!"
