America: My Time

Chapter 1004 Cooperation and Concerns

Chapter 994 Cooperation and Concerns
"What did you say? That little fox John went back to China again, instead of returning to the US. Is he really trying to stay out of it? But everything he's done doesn't seem like he's really trying to stay out of it?" When the news of John's return to China reached the US, Morgan frowned. The situation in the US was quite turbulent, after all, anything could happen in an election year, and Morgan knew that Rockefeller and the oil capital were playing tricks and conspiracies again.

“He did exactly that, and without any attempt to hide it. As for remaining neutral, that's just wishful thinking. He doesn't get along with the Donald, and the Donald doesn't like him either. Oregon is still the Donald's stronghold, but if John were to step in and rally support, he could quickly change their stance. His control over Oregon is growing stronger, and his reputation there is improving. Although he hasn't done anything personally, his charitable foundation is still driving everything. No one can shake his position in Oregon now, not even the Donald!”

As soon as Jimmy finished speaking, Morgan frowned. Although he had expected this outcome, he did not expect it to come so quickly. Who would have thought that a young man like John could take control of Oregon in such a short time? Even Donkey had not expected this.

"Forget about it, let's ignore this guy. We won't interfere with his plans. Right now, we should focus our energy on the listing of his companies. We also need to pay more attention to global satellite navigation companies and not be careless. This is no small matter. If they start a war with the US navigation companies, we need to be even more careful."

"Boss, don't worry, this is not a problem. I don't think the US navigation company can compete with the global satellite navigation company. After all, they have many inherent shortcomings. They are not independent. In contrast, the global satellite navigation company is independent and does not need to depend on others."

"That's true, but I'm afraid someone will try to forcefully interfere in their great battle. After all, this market is huge enough to drive some guys crazy. Now, I don't know how many people will be willing to get involved and participate in this great battle! And I don't know how many people will stand on the opposite side of John. I heard that those guys from Donkey's have already started to influence the military!"

"There is indeed such news, but the specifics are still unknown. I heard that the donkeys have made a very ambitious proposal. They want to use the current economic situation to persuade the military to agree to their plan. As for what the plan is, we don't know yet, but there are rumors that it is aimed at military enterprises!"

"Heh, just as I thought. It seems those guys from Donkey and Oil Capital have a new partnership, and even those guys from Seville have gotten involved. It's a pity that no matter how much they make a fuss, it's useless unless they dare to overturn all the previous agreements. Otherwise, they can only watch Gulfstream Spaceflight grow stronger. Have someone keep an eye on that little fox, John. I believe he must have already made preparations. Perhaps the show will start soon!"

Yes, the real show is about to begin. At this point, it's no small matter; things are escalating. Donkey is scheming, Oil Capital is making its move, and Rockefeller is targeting John. But even if they all join forces, can they truly defeat John? It's doubtful they'll succeed. John, that little fox, is not to be trifled with, much less bullied. And he's changed; he's become ruthless!
In Morgan's eyes, John, the little fox, is getting more and more ruthless and crazy with each move. Rockefeller is likely to lose both his wife and his army this time. After all, the American navigation company has inherent disadvantages. Even with the strong support of the military, how long can such support last?

"Mr. John, are you sure you want to invest in medicinal herb cultivation, and are you sure export won't be a problem?" Upon returning to China, John immediately communicated with his Chinese counterparts to discuss cooperation in medicinal herb cultivation. Although John owns considerable land in Southeast Asia, Australia, the United States, and South America, medicinal herb cultivation is no simple matter; when it comes to land, China is the leader. "I can assure you of that. As long as the quality is good, sales won't be a problem. Tsumura Pharmaceuticals in Japan and pharmaceutical companies in Taiwan are guarantees!" The medicinal herb cultivation in Taiwan couldn't meet John's needs, and as for Japan, it goes without saying. John had no intention of buying medicinal herbs from Japan; the prices were too high. For his own benefit, the best choice was to cooperate with China—a win-win situation!
The two sides quickly reached a verbal agreement, and from then on, it was no longer John who needed to come forward, but Tsumura Pharmaceuticals! After the verbal agreement was reached, the atmosphere of the exchange became much better!
"Mr. John, have you ever considered investing in pharmaceutical research and development in China?"

“Of course I have the idea, but it’s difficult right now. It’s not just a matter of funding, but more so a matter of Anjin’s own problems. The entire group needs to be reorganized, and that will take time!” John sighed as he spoke. Although he wasn’t under too much financial pressure, he still had to be careful. After all, he was going to have a showdown with those guys from Japan and the oil capital, so he didn’t dare to invest all his funds.

"It's good that you have ideas. We're not in a hurry. We can talk about it after Mr. John has completed all the preparations!" This person was well aware of John's situation. Every investment he made was a large-scale one, and this time the investment in Taiwan was even larger. Having just made such a large investment, it would be a bit too crazy to continue making the same investment in China.

Before John could speak, the man abruptly changed the subject, abandoning the discussion as it would be inappropriate and appear somewhat aggressive. He then asked, "Mr. John, what are your thoughts on Japan? Now that Japan is impacted by the real estate bubble, will it be able to quickly overcome the current crisis and emerge from its predicament?"

"I don't think Japan can get out of the crisis quickly; their situation is more dangerous than everyone thinks. But for China, this is a good thing. The more trouble those guys in Japan get, the more they need to move their manufacturing overseas, just like the US. However, these guys aren't good people; they might betray you after you've served your purpose. From my personal experience alone, I've seen many such cases. Those guys become incredibly crazy when they see profit!"

John didn't intentionally smear those guys in Japan. The fact that the Mandarin Oriental Group's investments in Japan were targeted twice was a test. The first time was when John decided to withdraw from real estate investments in Japan, which was the work of those guys in Japan. Although Seibu was brought in and Yoshiaki Tsutsumi took the blame, Seibu didn't gain much benefit. The second time was when he went to Japan before, and these guys actually believed in the so-called "bottom-fishing" theory and were directly targeting the Mandarin Oriental Group. So John had an even worse opinion of these guys, not to mention that these bastards were also scheming against the global satellite navigation company.

John's words caused the man's expression to change slightly; this outcome was unexpected. John didn't want to hide anything when bringing up the topic, knowing that the Japanese would make their move in a few days. So John continued, "Take this time, for example. Those guys forced me to go to Japan to handle the automotive cooperation for their own benefit, but I saw no sincerity in them; instead, I saw betrayal. If I'm not mistaken, it won't be long before they betray us and abandon the cooperation with the global satellite navigation company. After all, they only care about profit and have no regard for friendship!"

"No way, aren't they worried about the consequences of breaching the contract? Mr. John, you didn't sign a contract with them, did you?" John's words shocked the Chinese people present. Betraying a partner is no small matter!
"The contract exists, but they won't care. For them, there's nothing they won't do for profit, and they don't care about the penalty for breach of contract. If I hadn't been on guard against their betrayal, I wouldn't have made the factory in China upgrade the product again, and I wouldn't have held back the approval for the White House!"

John didn't believe the product upgrades at the Chinese factory wouldn't be known to the Japanese authorities. After all, these upgrades involved significant technological advancements, and most importantly, the chips themselves were being updated and replaced. Moreover, it wasn't just the factory upgrading its products; the chip manufacturing plant itself was also expanding and upgrading—all of this was part of John's long-planned strategy. Crucially, all of this only began after John left China for Japan. This is precisely why these officials took John's statement so seriously—it concerned export revenue!
Such a large factory could easily be in trouble if affected by market changes, not to mention that it also affects Bentley Motors Group's exports. With the opening of the Southeast Asian market, factories in China have already gained export capabilities, which is why they are so nervous. In the 1990s, foreign exchange was a crucial issue, and there was no room for carelessness. Whether it's a navigation device factory or a car factory, both are related to huge foreign exchange earnings. If something goes wrong, the impact will be enormous. Even knowing that John was prepared, everyone still has a little bit of worry in their hearts!
