Chapter 1060 A kind reminder

Chapter 1050 A Kind Reminder
"Mr. Morita, this is the result you brought back for us all. Didn't you try to persuade us a little more? This is not the 'ability' you should have. This result leaves us all feeling helpless and heartbroken!"

"Heh, what can I do? I've said it before, don't play tricks, try to move them with sincerity. But who listened to my advice? Now that there's a problem, they come to me. If you had all put in a little more effort before, things wouldn't be like this now. For over a decade, John has never refused our invitation to our parties, but this time he refused. Shouldn't that wake you all up? Now some people are ridiculously thinking it's my fault. I won't take the blame. If anyone has the ability to invite John, then go ahead. I can't do anything about it. I've done everything I can. Now it all depends on your abilities. I'm willing but unable!"

Faced with the accusations, the old man Akio Morita was not one to mince words and immediately launched a counterattack. In this situation, he was unwilling to back down, because he knew that if he did, the consequences would be unimaginable, affecting his own interests and even jeopardizing Sony's development. After all, these guys were no good.

Nowadays, Akio Morita doesn't even believe Mitsui, after all, he has been excluded from Mitsui's circle quite a bit. So Akio Morita prefers to observe from the sidelines rather than get involved in all of this. He knows his own limitations and knows that this is not something he can interfere with.

"Alright, Morita-san, don't complain so much. We were just anxious, after all, something like this happened, and we all need to find a way to change Mr. John's opinion of us and of Japan. Fortunately, the things we wanted most have been resolved. As for the party, there's no need to rush. Mr. John is still in Japan, we still have a chance!"

"Wait a minute, I need to explain. We don't have much time left. The US is already trying to get Mr. John back, and it was Morgan who called. I believe you all know what that means. And there's another piece of news that no one wants to hear: the two women by his side, Akina Nakamori and Hitomi Kuroki, are going to change their nationalities!"

"What? Is he warning us, or expressing his dissatisfaction?"

The Japanese guys were momentarily speechless, their expressions turning serious. Their first thought was of a warning—a warning from John, a 'well-intentioned' reminder to them in this way.

"That's beyond my knowledge. It depends on your thoughts on such matters. In short, I don't know the intention behind this, but I think everyone should make more preparations. Also, John has refused to continue investing in real estate and has chosen high technology instead. Moreover, I believe that you all know the details better than I do."

The old-timers from Japan present all sighed at the sight of all this. Of course, some of them didn't know, but many did, and now the situation had become somewhat troublesome.

"Mr. Morita, how long will Mr. John stay in Japan? Do you have a detailed timeframe? We need to make preparations. After all, in the current situation, even if we all want to change everything, it takes time. If we don't even have a clear timetable, all the work we do might just be a waste of time and energy!"

"I don't know, I know nothing. He never discussed this with me. Because of this series of events, our friendship has been affected. So now I've told you everything I know. I don't know anything else. It all depends on your abilities!"

Akio Morita, that old fellow, completely absolved himself of any responsibility, leaving everyone present helpless. After all, Morita had already done a great deal, and nothing could be accomplished entirely by him alone. Although some harbored thoughts of resorting to underhanded tactics, they quickly abandoned the idea. The Mossad affair was still unresolved, and those guys were undoubtedly plotting revenge. Therefore, any underhanded actions they took at this time, once discovered, would have serious consequences, potentially jeopardizing their reconciliation with John. Consequently, no one dared to entertain such thoughts.

Given the current situation, they all deeply understand that it is better to remain still than to act rashly. No matter how cautious they are, it is always the right thing to do. They must be even more careful now and not make any more mistakes. If any more problems arise, it will be useless for them to explain. The enemy will simply pin everything on them.

"Alright, let's leave it at that for now. If there are any problems, everyone should go and resolve them. As for the banquet, let's put it aside for now. We absolutely cannot afford any more problems at this time. If anyone causes trouble again, they will have to bear the consequences themselves. If those fools dare to jump out again, we will not hold back and will give them a fatal blow. Anyone who makes a mistake must pay the price, no matter who it is. As for the situation in the United States, we will figure out a solution later!"

These guys in Japan all understand that they can't afford any more problems at this point, or the consequences will be severe and beyond their control. So they all hope that everything can stabilize. However, things are not always peaceful. While Japan wants to stabilize the situation, many people in the shadows don't want to see this outcome. Moreover, the Americans have also put them on guard, since things aren't always smooth sailing in the US either!
John didn't care what the Japanese were thinking. After rejecting Akio Morita, John knew that the Japanese would definitely come up with a plan. But the Japanese had no means to use right now. As long as their internal strife didn't end, as long as they still had other ideas and schemes, they would sink deeper and deeper into trouble!
Merit should be rewarded, and transgressions should be punished. John also needs to address these situations in Japan, especially the performance of Yasuko Sawaguchi and Miho Nakayama. They deserve a reward, as their sacrifice brought him significant benefits, even if unwillingly. This cannot be ignored. As for Norika Fujiwara's actions, John also needs to react. He can no longer afford to be lenient and can't let his enemies think he's easy to talk to.

"Momoko, pass this message down: Norika Fujiwara has nothing to do with us anymore. The ten-year agreement is over. It's not that I'm heartless, but I'm unwilling to accept the existence of someone so selfish and with such inappropriate thoughts. It doesn't need to be too formal; just convey this message implicitly!"

John's words caused a change in everyone's expression. Although they had all received John's prior reminder to have a 'friendly' conversation with Riko, they hadn't thought there was anything wrong with it. But now, hearing John's decision, their hearts were heavy. Despite their previous dissatisfaction with Fujiwara Norika, finding her selfish and heartless for not offering any assistance despite knowing Nakayama Miho's situation, they couldn't help but feel worried. They all knew how serious the consequences of such news would be!

At this moment, Sachiko Urachi softened and wanted to say something, but she was immediately stopped by Hitomi Kuroki. She didn't want to see Sachiko make this wrong decision out of momentary weakness and affect herself. After all, this was John's decision, and she had seen what happened to Yasuko Sawaguchi and Miho Nakayama before. There are consequences for doing wrong things.

"Alright, I know some of you are soft-hearted, so there's no need to worry. You are you, and she is she. You don't need to worry that I'll get angry with you. This matter is over now. You just need to do your own things. However, you also need to make some arrangements, otherwise who knows what might happen in the future. Yasuko and Miho's situation is the best example. Sachiko likes music, so she can work part-time at Universal Music, even if it's just a nominal position. Senri can work part-time at an agency, Yasuko can work part-time at Nikkatsu, and Miho can work at TV Tokyo!"

When John finished speaking, everyone was taken aback; none of them had expected such a thing to happen. However, they all understood that this was protection for them, a warning from John to the Japanese, and also a 'well-intentioned' reminder. How they chose to proceed depended on their own thoughts and perspectives. Different people have different opinions; after all, not everyone would think this was a good thing.

As for Hitomi Kuroki and Akina Nakamori, nothing happened to them, and no one thought there was anything wrong. Hitomi Kuroki had given up before, but now she and Akina Nakamori were going to change their nationality, so it was reasonable that they didn't have any arrangements in Japan. Perhaps there were things behind this that they didn't know. After all, it wasn't so easy for these beauties to see through John's scheme, and their understanding of all this was still very limited.

Of course, if those old guys like Akio Morita knew all this, it would be completely different. They would immediately understand John's plan, the secret hidden behind it, and the 'well-intentioned' warning to them! No one would underestimate John anymore. This time, John's reaction was enough to make those guys in Japan wary and cautious.
