Chapter 10114 The Reactions of the Crowd
"What? John and his family have left the United States and gone to China?" The news of John's departure from the United States spread quickly. After all, too many people were paying attention to John, and his every move was being watched by those with ulterior motives. No matter how careful John was, he could not escape the attention of those with ulterior motives, and they would still find out about him.

"Yes, John and his family did leave the United States, and so did all his women. I heard they're going to China for the Spring Festival. This is our opportunity. If we don't act now, it will be difficult for us to push things forward once John returns. Even with Rockefeller and the others pushing things forward, we will still face a lot of pressure!"

"Then let's take action. Since John has been ignoring our 'goodwill,' he can't blame us. We've spread so many rumors, but he hasn't paid any attention and is turning a blind eye to us. We have to fight back, or those guys will be unhappy!"

Soon, the donkeys began to take action and start pushing forward their plan. Although some people felt that there must be a conspiracy behind John's departure from the United States at this time, even if some people had doubts, they could not stop all of this from moving forward. Because it wasn't just the oil capital that was pushing things forward in the dark, but also the Rockefeller guys. John's secret pawns also had to push things forward. If they didn't get them moving, how could Morgan complete the acquisition smoothly, and how could their own acquisition in Europe succeed!
It can be said that everyone is making plans, and it's a matter of who has the most ingenious methods. Everyone feels that everything is under control, but only when everything comes to a conclusion can we know who is the most powerful and whose plan is the most successful!
The donkey was on the move, and so was Morgan. They were shocked by what they found. After carefully investigating Westinghouse Electric's situation, Morgan gasped in astonishment. John's shareholding far exceeded their expectations. Morgan had assumed John held at most 10%, but the results were staggering. Their investigation revealed that John controlled at least 30%, and many others had already sold their shares!

John's silent acquisition of so many shares in Westinghouse Electric clearly indicated that he had planned the acquisition all along, but it was all done in secret, even from Morgan. This result made Morgan gasp in surprise!
“Jimmy, are you sure all of this is true? Coco can’t be joking. John has so many shares that he could easily control the board of directors, but why hasn’t there been any word of it? Is this our mistake, or is there another problem? You need to investigate this thoroughly. If John hadn’t revealed it himself, we wouldn’t have known anything. And John could have easily acquired them himself. Do you understand what’s behind this?”

“I understand. He’s reminding us that everything is under control, that all of Donkey’s schemes are a joke, and that all of Oil Capital’s schemes are a joke!” Jimmy said with a wry smile. Although it may not seem like a big deal on the surface, the meaning behind it is not simple. As a member of Morgan, Jimmy naturally understands how big the impact this has on Morgan!

"The fact that Hurricane Investments could acquire so many shares so quietly is remarkable. Honest Bank and East West Bank are no ordinary companies. We underestimated their profits. Otherwise, such an astonishing acquisition would not have gone unnoticed, even during a stock market crash. This is at least a billion dollars of investment, and yet all of this happened without a sound! This is targeting Westinghouse Electric. If it were targeting other companies, what do you think it would be like?"

"Boss, you suspect that John has other plans in the dark, but he shouldn't have that much money, right? With so much money, I really can't understand how he managed to avoid all of our attention?"

"Don't worry about how John did it. It's all happened now, and that's the situation we need to face. I had some concerns before, thinking there was something wrong with John's plan, but now it seems there was no problem at all. I was just overthinking it. Everything was under John's control. What do you think would happen if that old man Rockefeller knew all this? What would happen if the oil capital knew all this? And what would happen if those self-righteous donkeys knew all this?"

The more Morgan learned about John, the more shocked he became. This was only the situation in the United States. How much had John's assets expanded overseas? It was likely that the capital John had hidden in the shadows was even more astonishing. And this had only been a little over a decade. This had a huge impact on Morgan's mind. Faced with such a monstrous existence, he was also extremely shocked!
“Boss, John’s plans might go beyond what we know. His departure from the US this time has a deeper purpose. If it’s just a counterattack against the donkeys and oil capital, isn’t that too simplistic? And there’s no need for us to take action. I think there might be a deeper scheme behind this!”

“Jimmy, it’s normal for that little fox John to have ulterior motives. If it were just about acquiring Westinghouse Electric, there would be no reason for him to come to us. What we need to do now is not to investigate what John’s ulterior motives are, but to complete the acquisition and not let John down. You can tell that there are ulterior motives behind this, do you think he wouldn’t know our reaction?”

Hearing his boss's words, Jimmy couldn't help but sigh. The more he understood John's scheme, the more shocked he became. Everything was too crazy, too terrifying. Now, whether it was Donald Trump, Oilfield Capital, or those old guys like Rockefeller, they all felt that everything was under their control, but they didn't expect that everything was under John's control! When the news of John leaving the United States came out, countless people were excited, and countless people were restless. Even Hollywood was changing a little. Some guys were planning to target Legendary Entertainment and Phoenix Media. Not to mention the guys in Silicon Valley, who were even more frantic. Everyone was looking forward to Donald Trump's Internet superhighway plan and to the expansion of Universal Online, which was aimed at John.

"Dad, what do you think John is up to? Leaving the US at this time, isn't he worried about Donald's schemes? Or is he absolutely confident he can defy Donald's schemes? I really don't understand what he's doing. Rumors of Donald's many plans have already been leaked, but he doesn't seem to care at all. This is so abnormal!" Little Bush looked at his father with a puzzled expression. He felt that his father must know something and had made some kind of deal with that little fox John, otherwise there wouldn't have been so many changes before!

"What is he trying to do? You've been exposed to so many things, yet you still don't understand. Isn't it obvious? He wants to carry out another large-scale withdrawal of manufacturing in a blatant manner. He's already made arrangements in Mexico to the south, where there's already a huge industrial park. Do you understand now? I heard he's also reached an agreement with Morgan, and GM is preparing to cooperate with Bentley Motors there!"

"Hiss! This is insane! If he does this again, won't all manufacturing in the US have to withdraw? Is he slapping the donkey in the face?" Hearing this, Xiao Bushi was shocked. Although it was indeed obvious, it was precisely because it was so obvious that he couldn't believe it, and many others couldn't believe it either.

"Crazy? No, this isn't crazy. It's the result of being forced by the Donald. When Donald came to power, he directly targeted the military industry, cutting more research. Rockefeller and the First Citibank consortium had already made deals. Under these circumstances, do you think the military industry still has the ability to resist? As long as Donald takes action again and continues to target John, he will naturally have a good reason. John's investments over there are not simple!"

“If John really does that, he will have no manufacturing industry left in the United States, only research labs. If this gets out of hand, even if he is in the right, the public will not accept it!”

"You think John, that little fox, wouldn't have thought of all of this? Who said he doesn't have manufacturing anymore? He still has chemicals, doesn't he? He still has Gulfstream Aerospace, doesn't he? His aircraft manufacturing plant is still in the US, isn't it? How can you say he doesn't have manufacturing in the US? Besides, he has quite a few employees in the US. Retail creates a lot of jobs. And then there's his farm. If we're ranking individual farms, he's definitely the number one farmer in the US. It's just that his farms are too scattered and haven't formed a large scale, so nobody pays attention to him!"

It has to be said that Old Bush is really something. His understanding of John is far superior to that of Donkey. He knows more than Donkey does. This is only the situation in the United States. Old Bush also has some knowledge of John's overseas plans.

"You think this is all of John's plans? You think John only has Legendary Entertainment and Phoenix Media? If you think that, you're sorely mistaken. He has an even deeper hidden entertainment group, but it's not an ordinary entertainment group; it's a sports entertainment group. He owns teams in all four major American leagues, and he acquired Manchester United in England. Combined, it's a multinational sports entertainment group with astonishing influence, and he has never used this power!"
