America: My Time

Chapter 1034 Rockefeller's Determination

Chapter 1024 Rockefeller's Determination

"Jimmy, do you think we can believe what Rockefeller said? Do you think he won't make things difficult for us?" Morgan asked Jimmy beside him as he hung up the phone with Rockefeller. Before receiving Rockefeller's call, Morgan had already received a call from the White House and had spoken with President Richard Lamb.
"It's hard to say. The Rockefellers now seem too fixated on immediate gains and losses. Perhaps this is related to their acquisition of Intel. Ever since they took over the company, they've become incredibly persistent, always trying to gain access to the semiconductor chip market. But they've failed every time. They've never succeeded since the gaming world. This time, although they seem to be able to secure some orders for car navigation chips, it's hard to say how big those orders will be. The situation in Japan isn't very good, and Ford is regretting it now."

"Yes, they are indeed too stubborn. They always feel that they should get the biggest benefit, forgetting that society has changed. It is no longer the chaotic period of the past. Moreover, John's patience has reached its limit, and everyone's patience with them has also reached its limit. If a conflict breaks out, the first to fall will not be John, the little fox, but Rockefeller and the oil capital. The oil capital has been jumping around too much lately and needs to be taught a lesson!"

Jimmy dared not discuss this topic any further. His boss could say whatever he wanted, but he couldn't. This was a matter of principle, and he couldn't afford to back down now, or he would regret it in the end!
"Get ready. Go to China tomorrow to see that little fox, John. Tell him about Rockefeller and the White House's decision. As for Oilfield Capital, it has nothing to do with us. If John is willing to accept their compensation, then that's it. If he's not, that's their problem. As long as it doesn't affect the United States, it's not a problem! Also, talk to him about Westinghouse Electric and ask about his demands. I believe that little fox must have his demands. He won't waste such a great opportunity. Even a donkey has to pay a price!"

“Okay, I’ll go to China tomorrow and talk to John about all this. But we really don’t need to discuss his investments in Taiwan with John. Right now, there are people in the US criticizing John, and our cooperation with John is also being criticized!”

"No need, these are all minor matters, nothing to worry about. Besides, those guys will quiet down soon. They're all the work of the oil and gas capital. Do they really think we don't know anything, that they're so secretive? This is America, Morgan isn't stupid. He can't even see through this little thing. Compared to the oil and gas capital, I'm more worried about Rockefeller and his guys. And John's reaction is also problematic. I don't know what those two are thinking or what they're planning!"

Although Morgan had some doubts, he was unwilling to investigate the matter further. He preferred to do nothing, believing that if problems arose, it wouldn't be his problem. However, investigating would easily embroil him in trouble, and if problems occurred, Morgan would have to take sides and bear responsibility.
Because he understood this, Morgan didn't want to delve into it. Instead, he chose to ignore it and pretend he knew nothing. Even if problems arose later, it would have nothing to do with them, and Morgan could stay out of it!

For an old fox like Morgan, he is extremely vigilant when it comes to survival. Even without in-depth understanding, he can tell that there is a greater crisis hidden behind all this. However, he does not want to understand, much less get involved. That is why he is so cautious and careful, and why he talks so much to Jimmy. He wants Jimmy to understand what he can and cannot do, not to make promises to John, the little fox, and not to let Morgan get dragged into it!

Morgan was worried, and Rockefeller also felt uneasy after their conversation, though he didn't know where it came from. He also felt that Morgan had sensed something, but it would be difficult to get Rockefeller to let go of everything, since Rockefeller was now completely out of control of his own destiny!
Although Rockefeller was under immense pressure, he had to persevere. He couldn't give up because of this small setback; that would be too great a loss for him! In Rockefeller's view, this was an opportunity to seize dominance in the communications and internet sectors, and it was also a matter of his future. So even with Morgan's 'reminder,' he was unwilling to let go, after all, the donkey had given Rockefeller the greatest promise!

While it might not be possible to completely crush Global Online, capturing a large portion of the US market, especially in finance, was still a possibility. Rockefeller believed he had a greater advantage than John, and the persistent thorn in Rockefeller's side forced him to be cautious and make this decision. The oil-heavy capitalists made a valid point: Hurricane Investment's invincibility wasn't entirely due to John's exceptional foresight, but rather his access to data from major financial institutions through Global Online, which enabled him to make numerous decisions and achieve so many victories. If Rockefeller controlled the US financial network, perhaps he could achieve the same result, no longer needing to worry about the cunning John!

Big data computing was used by Oilfield Capital and those guys in Silicon Valley as a reason to target John. They were more inclined to believe that John possessed powerful big data computing capabilities, which was why he had such crazy development and achieved huge profits time and time again. Moreover, their reasons and evidence were quite sufficient. John's investment in computers was so large that it made people suspicious, and this suspicion was quite popular!
Of course, part of the reason was the operation of the database software invested in by Hurricane, which made people feel that the reason was correct, and made Rockefeller more convinced of the authenticity of all this. This made Rockefeller increase his investment in computers, the Internet and communications. Donkey's conditions were naturally something he could not refuse!

Whether Morgan realized this or not, perhaps only they themselves knew. But it didn't matter whether Morgan knew or not now. Rockefeller was convinced that Morgan knew. As for John, the little fox, he didn't know what he was thinking, after all, John's current reaction was also strange.

Many were watching Morgan's reaction closely. When Jimmy set off from New York for Beijing the next day, everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and Rockefeller also relaxed. Morgan hadn't disappointed him, but it was uncertain how much success he would achieve. As Morgan had said, their calculations were too shrewd; they always tried to solve problems at the lowest possible cost, but that was almost impossible. Even Rockefeller himself felt the cost was too low, but he was still willing to try. Even if he failed, it wouldn't matter; he could continue negotiating with John!

"Dad, Morgan's made his move, and Jimmy's gone to China. Do you think John will agree to their settlement? I just feel this whole thing is a bit too crazy. It's gotten to this point, how can they possibly offer a settlement? And don't they feel ashamed? They attacked first, only to be countered by John and find themselves in a predicament. Don't they have any shame?" Little Bush shook his head dismissively. In his opinion, it was all too farcical!
"What does face matter? Profit is the most important thing. And do you think the Donkeys care about their face? They care more about their own interests. And the Oil Capital and Rockefellers are even less concerned about the face you're talking about. As long as John agrees to a settlement, it's worth paying a price. Right now, the Oil Capital and the Donkeys hate me to the core. The failure in Taiwan will definitely infuriate them!" As he said this, a faint smile appeared on the old man's face. This was the result he wanted. Only in this way would John owe their family a valuable favor, which would surely bring them greater benefits in the future. So being scolded was a trivial matter!

"Remember, once you're in this industry, don't be too concerned about saving face. Compromise when necessary. I orchestrated the deal with John. Those guys won't go too far as long as they don't want to break the rules, and this will further strengthen our relationship with John. It's very beneficial for future developments, so don't let this relationship fall apart. You've clearly seen the influence of Legendary Entertainment and Phoenix Group's counterattack this time. If that power is on your side, don't you think it would be a huge help in your future election campaign?"

"That's natural. The moment the two major media conglomerates make their move, the entire Hollywood and the whole of California are shaken. And this is just the beginning. It hasn't even started yet. If they really go all out, the whole United States will be shaken. I have to admit that John's methods are too powerful. His influence in the United States is very strong. No wonder those guys from the oil and gas industry and Israel are so wary of him. With that kind of influence, who wouldn't worry about becoming his enemy!"

"Good that you understand. Under no circumstances should you become his enemy. Such a monster is only suitable to be a friend. The oil tycoon and the donkey will pay the price for their stupidity. They still know too little about John and too little about the situation in the Middle East. When all this comes to a head, they will know what madness is!"
