America: My Time

Chapter 1061 Human Hearts and Choices
Chapter 1051 Human Hearts and Choices
The human heart is the most vulnerable to test. John naturally understands the current situation. He is also very clear about the situation in Japan. His move is just the beginning, just a test. Now it's not up to him to decide what to do, but to see what these guys in Japan decide. After all, this is Japan, and their reaction will determine the course of everything!

As long as those guys know their decision and their methods, they will definitely change. They can't just sit idly by; as long as they take action, there will be opportunities. Although he holds the initiative, John doesn't dare to underestimate these Japanese guys. After all, there's nothing that conglomerates wouldn't dare to do, and these conglomerates don't really care about Japan's fate. What they want is to protect themselves, which is why they've been frantically relocating their manufacturing overseas. Unfortunately, like the United States, they've also embarked on the path of industrial hollowing out.

The United States has high technology support, and even entertainment and finance industries, but the situation in Japan is completely different. These guys in Japan haven't made a decision yet. Perhaps they also want to go down the entertainment industry path, but John has already made his move and seized the initiative, gaining control of a lot of resources in Japan, especially in the field of anime and manga culture. John's Phoenix Comics is the biggest giant in anime and manga in Japan!
"Do you feel that I've changed, become somewhat cold and ruthless? This is the reality of society; people's hearts can change. I can't put myself in danger for a woman with malicious intentions. And if any of you want to leave, that's fine too; everything has changed now. Of course, if you wish to wait a little longer, that's fine too; I won't stop you!"

John has taken the initiative in everything now, in the current situation in Japan. At this point, there's no need for him to impose so many restrictions. After all, people's hearts are fickle. If someone decides to leave, letting them go is the best option. Otherwise, he doesn't know when he might be taken advantage of. Most importantly, this is also a strategy.

John believed that the Japanese were now trying to figure out his thoughts. Once they knew his plans and arrangements, they would definitely have something to say about it. Japan wasn't his focus; right now, he only needed to reclaim his own interests. He didn't want to target these Japanese conglomerates, nor did he want to engage in a major war with them. John understood the importance of knowing when to stop!

Now, John's task isn't to attack those Japanese guys or demand an explanation, but to wait for their decision. He's done what he could; now it's time to see how they react. He believes it won't be long before they understand his 'well-intentioned' warning and start to react!
Forced relationships are never sweet. One case of Norika Fujiwara is enough to make me wary; there's no need to expose myself to further trouble and danger. Therefore, I should change my course. When I let the beautiful Ye leave, I already understood everything. Those willing to stay by my side are the ones I should value and make more arrangements for. My current arrangements are only temporary; everything is just beginning. Moreover, my overseas assets won't be a problem anytime soon. I have plenty of time to prepare and plan. So now is the time to eliminate my hidden dangers one by one!

"Don't rush to answer. Think it over carefully before making a decision. You have plenty of time to think. As long as you don't do anything wrong, I won't take any action. After all, you also have your own freedom!"

Kuroki Hitomi had been involved with the Japanese high society for a long time, so she didn't believe in the so-called freedom at all. Even Nakamori Akina felt the same way. As for what others thought, they didn't know, but they didn't believe that there was any freedom in Japan. As long as you were in Japan, you would be influenced by the conglomerates. The so-called freedom was not as comfortable as it was now. Especially after seeing Naoko's situation, they would not have such thoughts.

For a moment, many people were lost in thought. When John saw this, he couldn't help but smile calmly. As time goes by and life changes, it's understandable that some people have new ideas. So John didn't think there was anything wrong with it. Just like the beautiful Ye, who ultimately chose to leave, that was the best proof.

"You don't need to worry about your safety in the future. If you choose to leave, it's best to give up your life in Japan and go to another country. That way, you won't have to worry about any other problems. Of course, the choice is your own business, and I personally won't interfere!" For John, it was better to give them a choice directly than to leave behind some half-hearted people. After all, if he waited until his plan was fully implemented and they chose to leave later, the price he would have to pay would be higher.

John needs more manpower and time to expand his operations in South America. He still places great importance on land acquisition; the United States is not his primary focus. South America and Australia, along with Southeast Asia, are his core interests. While companies can acquire land now, having their own people is still the best option.

John's farms aren't very profitable right now, a result of his deliberate control and his continuous encroachment on Africa. Because he controls the food supply, John has significant influence in Africa. With food and force in one hand, he knows how to deal with the tribes, which is the real reason for his rapid expansion in Africa. Within John's territory, the tribal chiefs are willing to obey Jaguar Security Company, so John's mines in Africa face no trouble. They actively protect John's interests, because protecting John's interests is protecting their own, since they can get the food they want from him.

John controls enough land in Southeast Asia, Australia, South America, and North America, but it's far from enough. John needs more land; at the very least, he doesn't want those guys from Japan to make moves in South America, as that would affect his plans, which is something John doesn't want to see. That's why he's made so many preparations.

John's current focus is on animal husbandry, not agricultural production. Everything is about self-sufficiency; any surplus is purchased by his charitable foundation and donated directly to his "friendly" friends in Africa. As for international charitable organizations, John has no interest in any interaction with them. Every penny he spends must be used wisely, and the food must be used for its intended purpose, not simply given away to those people for personal gain.

John's plan in Africa was to be hands-on and deeply rooted in the grassroots. Around each mine, there were tribes that were on good terms with Jaguar Security Company. Everything was under his control. This was the reason why John had been able to expand and grow in Africa. This was something that not everyone could learn. As for those Europeans, they were not as generous as John. They would only desperately exploit those African natives and would not give them more help. But John gave them enough help and let them see the difference between the two, so they naturally knew how to choose.

Mining is inherently more profitable, so John was willing to pay a small price to win over the people of those tribes and make them a community of shared interests. This is why Quantum Mining has a good reputation in Africa, after all, they really provided substantial financial aid, while those Europeans are stingy misers.

Much of the grain from Australian farms is shipped to Africa, allowing charitable foundations to obtain sufficient quantities of grain at the lowest possible price. This ensures John's stability in his operations in Africa, which is why Jaguar Security Company is not afraid of a major battle with Gaddafi. They have a strong grassroots foundation, as the tribes rely on John for their livelihood and naturally obey his orders. John also provides them with medical assistance.

Of course, this is also part of the pharmaceutical strategy, since human trials are still necessary. Many people are now focusing on India, given their favorable conditions. However, John doesn't want any connection with India, so the best testing location is naturally Africa. John doesn't want to be scammed by the Indians; after all, those guys are never trustworthy, and cooperating with them would be like walking into a trap.

The Indians had tried to get John's company to invest more than once, but John consistently refused. It was a strict order; this unspoken rule existed in all of John's companies: no matter how much the Indians offered, they wouldn't invest, no matter how persuasive their offers. John kept his distance from that country.
With several businesses scattered across the globe, John naturally had to be cautious, especially regarding his control of the media. He needed to be even more careful not to give his 'enemies' an opportunity to target him. Therefore, John needed to make more preparations and arrangements.

Of course, John had more to say about refusing Akio Morita this time, and he also had his own plans. Now, Japan needed his help, the oil and gas capital in the United States also needed his help, and even the Europeans dared not make any rash moves. This was his opportunity, his chance to control the commodity trading market. Now, he just needed to communicate with these guys in Japan!
