Chapter 1033 Morgan's Warning

Chapter 1023 Morgan's Warning

“Morgan, you’ve seen the situation. We want you to talk to John and stop this from going on. It’s not good for anyone. The White House and the Donkey have already realized their mistake and are willing to reconcile with John. Moreover, this incident at this time is affecting John’s image. After all, the President has six months of freedom, which is a rule that everyone agrees on. His actions are somewhat problematic!”

"Heh, what a ridiculous joke! You're allowed to suppress John, but not allowed to fight back. And you've gone too far! If it were just a little suppression, just for show, it wouldn't be a big deal, and John wouldn't bother with you. But what have you done? Collaborating with Japan to scheme against John, this whole farce in California, and the changes in the military-industrial complex—do you really think we're all fools? Rockefeller and First Citibank have acted very dishonestly. Now that things have gone wrong, you want to reconcile. You should at least show some sincerity! Why didn't you show John enough sincerity when you sent people to China before? Were you rejected?"

“That’s right, that little fox did say we weren’t sincere, but don’t worry, we’ve reached a consensus this time. There’s just one small request, so Morgan needs to step in. After all, old Martin isn’t willing to participate right now, and we can’t force him. The Donkeys can’t force old Martin either, because doing so would directly cause a split within the Donkeys, and I’m sure you don’t want to see that happen.” Rockefeller didn’t hide the fact that John had rejected him, nor could he.

"Alright, I can agree for your sake, but you have to let me know if you're sincere enough. I don't want to be embarrassed or tricked by you. Your stupidity is laughable. You acted rashly without doing any research. Who else would suffer if not you!"

Rockefeller quickly revealed his 'compensation,' which, while not particularly impressive, was merely a formality in Rockefeller's eyes, giving John a way out, so he didn't need to make too much of a sacrifice!
"You guys are really cunning. I initially thought your foolish actions were a bit too crazy, but now it seems this was all planned in advance. If you succeed, you'll be overjoyed, and if you fail, you won't have to pay a heavy price. With Donkey in front of you, I wonder why Rockefeller and the other big capital are jumping around so happily. Donkey has been thoroughly screwed over by you this time, and you're not even worried about their retaliation, you've even schemed to take advantage of the President's free time. But do you think this price is enough? Two major theaters just want to know about this matter, do you think I'm a fool!"

"That's not how it works. The President still has his free time, and we won't target you and John for transferring manufacturing to Mexico anymore. We'll also stop Donkey and Oilfield Capital from targeting Oregon. Besides, General Dynamics wanted to sell its aerospace business to Gulfstream Aerospace, so this is perfect. And don't think we don't know about Westinghouse Electric; we can cooperate with your acquisition. Is that alright?"

It's no secret that General Dynamics is planning to sell its aviation business due to pressure on its defense industry, and this is also in response to the cooperation between Rockefeller and First Citibank, which Rockefeller is now using as a condition.

"You're worried about being attacked by Hurricane Investment, and worried about being affected, right? Since you've brought it up, I'll talk to John and have someone make a trip. But I have to make one thing clear: stop causing trouble. Taiwan has already gone a bit too far. If this continues, it won't be good for anyone. You can break the rules, and so can John. People have their limits. You should understand the changes John has undergone in recent years. Stop treating him like a young man. I don't want to see Rockefeller being targeted one day, triggering an internal conflict in the United States!"

"Morgan, do you think John would do that? Do you think he has the ability to target Rockefeller?" Rockefeller had to take Morgan's words seriously, after all, John's potential was undeniable, and he was already no less capable than Rockefeller in terms of capital.

"Do you not know whether he'll do that? Perhaps in the US, he can't have much influence on Rockefeller, but he could deliver a fatal blow to you. If things really escalate to that point, your losses will be huge, you might even be wiped out. Don't think it's impossible; his security company isn't just for show. Also, you should keep your distance from Oil Pacific Capital. I think John's words make a lot of sense: Oil Pacific Capital is too greedy and too ambitious. Just look at how they took back those media companies, and their continuous maneuvering on Wall Street. You should know how terrifying Oil Pacific's financial capabilities are!"

Unfortunately, Morgan's good intentions were not appreciated by Rockefeller. In reality, modern American financial groups don't target the Taiwanese, even though they understand their ambition and greed. They still feel they have everything under control, and they are willing to use the Taiwanese's abilities to serve the US and their own interests! These guys never imagined that one day Taiwanese capital would be on par with them, or even control the US economy. Moreover, the US now emphasizes 'politics and correctness,' and the Taiwanese are a prime example!
“Morgan, I will be careful, but you should understand that our interests in the Middle East need their power to balance them. Moreover, John, that little fox, has been somewhat inappropriate in his support for the Middle East in recent years, at least putting considerable pressure on Israel, which is why this situation has arisen. I think you should remind John not to disrupt the balance there!”

“I will remind John, but I think John makes a lot of sense. The Middle Eastern tycoons are more worthy of our efforts to win them over. At least they are not as greedy as the oil people. John has benefited a lot from the Middle Eastern tycoons, so many people in the United States think that John’s choice is right!”

"Alright, I won't argue with you about this. We'll see who's right and who's wrong in the future. What we need to talk about now is getting John to stop causing trouble, letting America return to normal, and letting California return to normal. I believe you won't let us down!"

"Don't worry, everything is fine. But I have to remind you, the premise is that you also need to restrain yourselves. If anyone causes trouble again, then it's not our business anymore. You will have to bear all the consequences yourselves. I don't want to ruin my friendship with John because of you, and I don't want to be tricked by you!" Morgan didn't completely trust Rockefeller and his gang, so he had to remind them again. After all, this wasn't just Rockefeller's business, but involved a large group of people.

"Don't worry, there will be absolutely no more 'accidents'. If anyone dares to sabotage our 'cooperation,' they will have to bear Rockefeller's wrath. At that time, you won't even need to lift a finger; Rockefeller will teach them a lesson!"

"That's for the best. I'm relieved to hear you say that. Also, please remind Donkey and our President not to mistake John's concession for weakness. They've already given him enough face, and to avoid conflict, they even went on vacation to China. Yet he's still so relentless. If this continues, don't come to Morgan again if anything happens. Bottom lines and rules cannot be trampled on!"

Morgan's words were very strong. They weren't just directed at Donkey or Lancelot, but also served as a warning to Rockefeller. Their repeated attacks on John and their constant provocations of the rules were not a good thing. If things continued like this, even Rockefeller's golden robes would be broken. These greedy new powers all wanted to tear a piece off the old powers. Given the opportunity and the reason, they could dismantle the Rockefeller family's assets, and those guys would surely be willing to accept it!
"Don't worry, I know what to do. I won't make things difficult for you or Morgan!" Rockefeller's mood was also very heavy at this moment, and he regretted his previous actions. After all, the plan to suppress John had failed and had only caused trouble. If things continued to escalate, Rockefeller's reputation would continue to decline, and when he could no longer deter those greedy enemies, a crisis would emerge for the Rockefeller family. This was a situation that no established family wanted to see, which was why Morgan had been willing to help them all along, and why old Martin had been willing to persuade John. Old money families all had business dealings, and no one was willing to resort to extreme measures unless absolutely necessary. However, Rockefeller had gone too far in recent years, causing dissatisfaction among many people!

In Morgan's view, the Rockefeller family should tone it down now. If they continue to cause trouble, they will fall into crisis. In the capital market, when your power is constantly weakened and your deterrent force is questioned, you will be attacked by emerging forces and there is a possibility of being broken up! The capital market has never lacked ruthless people. Repeatedly breaking the rules is tantamount to courting death!

"You're not trying to put me in a difficult position, but rather to prevent everyone else from being in a difficult position. This isn't just my idea; it's the idea of ​​most of the old money families. You've broken too many rules, which has already caused dissatisfaction among everyone. If this continues, no one will stand on your side. If the worst happens, they wouldn't mind swallowing you up and breaking you up. That's what they mean. Think about it carefully!"
