America: My Time

Chapter 1026 A Reminder of 'Kindness'
Chapter 1016 A 'Well-intentioned' Reminder
"Is this really a good thing? I feel like it's not appropriate. It's unfair to Miho and Yasuko, and they will be affected, even endangering their safety. Japanese society is too crazy. Idols who lose their protection will suffer!" Naoko couldn't help but speak up when she learned that John hadn't informed Miho Nakayama and Yasuko Sawaguchi. The kind-hearted Naoko couldn't accept John's methods and was worried that something would go wrong!

"Don't worry, there won't be any problems. This isn't targeting them, but rather those scheming people in Japan. I need them to give me an explanation. Mitsui has already paid the price, but some people don't want to pay it. That's impossible. If you do something wrong, you have to bear the consequences and pay the price. No one is an exception. I believe those smart people can see through everything. As for those guys, if they want to die, someone will naturally help us. Don't underestimate the abilities of those scheming people, and don't underestimate the reactions of Yasuko Sawaguchi and Miho Nakayama."

“But if they do something wrong, wouldn’t the consequences be too serious!” Only Naoko would say such a thing at this time and under these circumstances. Kuroki Hitomi and the others wouldn’t dare to. After all, that’s how society is in Japan. Naoko has been in contact with John for a long time and has been influenced by him, so she doesn’t have so many concerns!
"That's just their fate. They were used as pawns, and they foolishly cooperated. This would never have happened under normal circumstances!" John shook his head, not caring much. Even if Naoko spoke up, it wouldn't change his decision. After all, this was a confrontation between him and Japan. Although it was a bit unfair to put all the pressure on two women, John knew better than anyone how wicked the Japanese could be. If he hadn't done this, hadn't given them this 'reminder,' those guys might still think he was easy to fool!
Is it cruel? It is indeed a bit cruel, but this is the real contest. Kindness is often taken advantage of, and good horses are often ridden! If I don't make such a decisive 'counterattack,' if I don't give those with ulterior motives a 'warning,' those guys will think they don't need to pay the price, that Mitsui's price has already been enough!
John was aware of the situation of Yasuko Sawaguchi and Miho Nakayama, and had made some preparations. More importantly, John wanted to know if there was any fool who would step forward to give him a chance, a chance to continue targeting Japan. This time, Mitsui compromised too quickly, leaving John unable to accomplish many things.

Yasuko Sawaguchi and Miho Nakayama were John's bait, laid out openly to see if any fools would take the bait. John also trusted that old man Akio Morita would make arrangements; such an old man could see right through him and understand the underlying issues, so he would handle everything. He wouldn't pass up such a free favor; if Akio Morita missed out, he wouldn't be himself. If that happened, John would have to reconsider his plans against Japan and adjust his strategy accordingly!

John lacked confidence in Miho Nakayama, but he could trust Yasuko Sawaguchi. After all, Hitomi Kuroki had helped Yasuko Sawaguchi a great deal. If he couldn't even see through this, it meant that Yasuko Sawaguchi's abilities and character were questionable. This was indeed a test, but not an easy one! It was a test of his mind, insight, and ability. Making mistakes had to come at a price. If he couldn't see through everything, then he had no right to stay. John was not short of beautiful women, especially not Japanese beauties.

If they can't even see through this problem and lose their minds, doing foolish things, then they don't deserve to stay by John's side. It's not that John is heartless, but reality is just that cruel. John can't give up his plundering of Japan for them, and he can't let those Japanese guys find his weaknesses. That's not an outcome John can accept, nor can he bear it! His 'enemies' aren't just those Japanese guys. The Japanese capital is even more insane, terrifying, and dangerous. There are also the Europeans and those Americans. If he shows even the slightest weakness, it will bring endless trouble. John doesn't want to be entangled in trouble!

This contest has attracted considerable attention. Although the methods used are somewhat cruel and ruthless, all of this is a necessary sacrifice. Being soft-hearted is a major taboo, especially at this time. There can be no soft-heartedness or negligence whatsoever, otherwise, one will pay a heavy price.

In contrast, China doesn't have as many troubles, and everything is going smoothly. But Japan always seems to have one problem or another. If it weren't for my desire to take control of Japan's anime and manga industry and wrest those profits from Japan, I wouldn't have to face this kind of pressure!

Everything comes at a price. If you want something, you have to pay the corresponding price. No one is an exception. Fortunately, after this, those guys in Japan will have to consider whether they can withstand my revenge if they try to scheme against me again. From now on, those guys will have no more illusions!

When John arrived in China, the US acted without restraint, quickly discovering the problem: China was no longer producing the original products. The low-end products of global satellite navigation companies had disappeared, replaced entirely by mid-range products. Moreover, Taiwan no longer produced mid-range products, only high-end ones. This shocked Donkey, the US navigation companies, and even Oil and Pacific Capital.

Why is this happening? What happened in this short period of time? When was the approval process completed in China? After careful investigation, Donkey realized that when Old Man Bush was in power, he had given John a lot of convenience. Moreover, these conveniences were compensations that Donkey had to make when he caused trouble with Oily Capital. Now they finally realized how big a hole their mistakes had dug for themselves.

"Damn it, this is all true! Why didn't we have any news about this before? This is Elephant deliberately deceiving us. That bastard Lao Bushi dared to scheme against us like this. We must make him pay the price and let him know how miserable the consequences of deceiving us are." Oil Capital was furious. After seeing that as long as John's companies didn't produce high-end products in China, mid-to-low-end products were not a problem, how could they not be angry after this material was found?

At this moment, even a fool would know how insidious and cunning John's previous schemes on the navigator were. Everything was under John's control, and their self-righteous plans were nothing but a joke, a huge joke!
"Now is not the time for us to settle scores with that old man, and what reason do you think we have to seek an explanation from him? All of this was 'help' from the old man to quell our defeat in the war with John. Even if there were problems with this 'help,' our problems were indeed solved at the time. If you seek an explanation from the old man for this reason, that would be ungrateful, and our reputation would be completely ruined. We cannot afford such a price."

"Then what do you suggest we do? We can't just stand by and watch that bastard John expand his influence in China, causing even greater damage and putting us under even more pressure. If we don't stop this guy now, the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Of course, restrictions are necessary, but we can't do it ourselves; it has to be Donald who takes the lead. These conditions were signed between Elephant and John. Now Donald can come up with all sorts of reasons to impose restrictions. After all, China's navigation devices and chips are now comparable to Intel's. What do you think their reaction will be if we tell Donald and Rockefeller this news? They'll restrict everything without us even lifting a finger. ASML will no longer be able to provide high-end lithography machines to factories in China. As long as we control the lithography machines, even if John has extraordinary abilities, his investments in China will be affected. At the very least, he can no longer ramp up production and impact our market share!"

Although those guys in Japan aren't very good and aren't valued by oil capital, they still won't give up the profits. The more navigation devices Japan produces, the more money they make. Rockefeller is no exception; after all, a large portion of the chips used by Toshiba are Intel chips! For their own benefit, Rockefeller has to act. John isn't in the US right now; if this isn't done quickly, it will be too late once he returns from his vacation in China!

John's influence in the US is now quite remarkable, at least comparable to that of Donald Trump, especially his relationship with the military. It's not as bad as it seems on the surface. Although the F-14 production line was forcibly shut down, that doesn't explain everything. In other aspects, John's relationship with the US military is still quite good! As for other aspects, with Oregon under his control, John has his own territory, which makes him even more unaffected and gives him even greater influence on the West Coast.

Putting aside everything else, just in California alone, John's influence is formidable. If this guy really goes all out, even a donkey would be affected. The reputation of Hollywood giants is not for nothing; it's real power. No one dares to underestimate John's influence in media and entertainment!
