America: My Time

Chapter 1072 The human heart is sinister
Chapter 1062 The Treacherous Nature of the Human Heart
Faced with John's conditions, those guys in Seville had no choice. Even though they were filled with endless anger, they had to compromise and accept. Otherwise, they would give John enough reason to target them. If that happened, it would be a disaster for them. At that time, the US government would not support them, and they would even have to face the anger of the American people. After all, John was a media mogul.

Similarly, after John had someone take over Lemon generics, the Japanese guys quickly got the loan share they wanted, and Deka Biotech completed the acquisition without much resistance. Morgan's 'sincerity' was also evident, so even if John had some ideas in his mind, he couldn't bring them up.

"What a cunning old fox! He's waiting for me here. It seems I underestimated his abilities and Morgan's reaction. I wonder what else will happen next, or if any fools will jump out and cause trouble!"

John wanted to find a fool to establish his authority, but such a fool didn't exist. No one wanted to continue being John's enemy, so all his plans fell through. He could only accelerate the consolidation of the farms. Since everything had already been exposed, John no longer bothered with any further concealment. A large area of ​​farms in Montana was consolidated, followed by farms in other states. It wasn't John who stepped forward, but the family foundation.

As Morgan said, although John understood that Morgan was involved in this matter, he couldn't target Morgan directly; his reputation wasn't something to be easily damaged. Having cooperated with Morgan for so long, and now that Morgan had shown 'sincerity,' pursuing him further would affect John's personal reputation, even a small one, which would cause considerable trouble.

Since Morgan wanted to talk to him again, John naturally wouldn't refuse, nor did he have any reason to. Although he was quite dissatisfied with the matter, Morgan had helped him a lot over the years. It could be said that without Morgan's support and help, he wouldn't be where he was today. At least he wouldn't have developed so quickly or acquired so many companies. Even if Morgan had also benefited from this, favors still needed to be repaid, and he should give Morgan a chance to explain. Perhaps there were other issues behind this matter!

Because both Morgan and John knew that many people were secretly watching them, they made no attempt to hide anything. They directly agreed to meet and talk at Morgan's place. Although Morgan seemed a bit arrogant, this wasn't his idea; it was John's. Since they were going to give Morgan face, why not give him even more, making him feel that he valued their relationship even more? Holding the meeting at Morgan's place was the best choice.

"Damn it, I knew there was something going on between Morgan and that little fox John. Now that little fox has gone to Morgan!" When John entered Morgan, the news quickly spread throughout the major financial groups in the United States. After all, John did not hide anything and walked into Morgan's building openly. If they did not know, it could only mean that they were no longer fit to live.

“Rockefeller, there’s no use talking about this now. What we want to know most right now is what kind of deal John, that little fox, has with Morgan. Were Morgan and those guys’ previous actions a trap they had set up to lure us in? If so, we’re afraid we’ve all been outmaneuvered by Morgan!”

"It's possible, but we need to confirm whether that's the case. After all, we all know that there are different voices within each consortium. It's normal that some people within Morgan are unwilling to give up Grumman Aircraft Company, even if they get everything they want. But those people are more eager to share the profits of Gulfstream Aerospace. They would prefer to become shareholders of Gulfstream Aerospace. The same situation exists in our consortiums."

“That’s true, but it’s very disadvantageous for us. Morgan and John have a good relationship, so even if there are problems, everything can be resolved by paying a small price. But the conflict between us and John is not so easy. He’s not stupid; he can’t possibly be unaware that we’re also behind all this. Even if we want to shift all the blame onto Morgan, it won’t work. We’re under a lot of pressure right now!”

"Actually, you're all overthinking it. John won't target us at this time, at least not in the short term. Even if he knows we're behind all this, he won't make a move because he's a man of principle, and we haven't broken any rules. This is just normal business. He can even abandon his targeting of oil capital, whether it's our side or the guys in Europe, or even Israel. So he won't target us. Most importantly, he doesn't want to ruin America's grand plan, so we don't need to be too nervous!"

Seeing the nervous expressions on these guys' faces, Rockefeller remained calm. In his view, John was a man of principle and integrity; otherwise, his reputation wouldn't be so good, allowing those Japanese to automatically provide him with funds. Therefore, he wasn't worried about John retaliating recklessly. "Mr. Rockefeller, we know what you're saying, but this grudge has been formed. If we show any weakness in the future, I'm afraid he'll scheme against us. Right now, those guys in the air might not do anything to us, but no one can guarantee what will happen in the future. No one wants to leave a hidden danger or such trouble for their descendants!"

“Then you can try to resolve all of this. As long as you show a little sincerity, it’s not a problem. And what you’re talking about shouldn’t happen. After all, John wouldn’t want to become the target of everyone’s criticism. Even if he wanted to take action, it would only be against the oil giants. Their feud seems to have been resolved, but do you really think that’s the case?” As soon as Rockefeller finished speaking, everyone present frowned and began to think.

They all witnessed John's rise to power and understood the struggle between John and the oil capital. Although things had eased up, the feud was unlikely to be easily resolved. The oil capital had always been incredibly greedy. They had compromised now, but once they grew stronger, a new struggle would break out between them.

"Let's wait and see. I believe we'll see results soon. Morgan won't remain indifferent, and John has already made assurances to us, so there's no need to worry too much. Right now, John wants to accelerate his own development, not continue fighting with us. Most importantly, his current focus isn't the United States, but Asia!"

“That’s true. We don’t need to be in a hurry right now. John’s manufacturing has all moved overseas. The US only has retail and high-tech industries. The only manufacturing industry is the military industry represented by Gulfstream Aerospace. So we don’t have much pressure. And if he targets us, we can target him too. After all, Gulfstream Aerospace has never been listed on the stock market. That can be our excuse to target him!”

It has to be said that Rockefeller was truly cunning and treacherous, even having such thoughts. However, if things really came to this, it would be a life-or-death battle with no room for reconciliation. A real business war would ensue between Rockefeller and John, and they would both pay a heavy price.

Of course, Rockefeller's words at this moment, meant to remind everyone present, were not without ulterior motives. He was inciting them to let someone get impatient and target John, so that he could reap the benefits and carry out a scheme to kill someone with a borrowed knife.

However, the men present weren't fools; they naturally understood Rockefeller's sinister intentions. Yet, none of them stepped forward to condemn him, remaining remarkably calm, as if they didn't care at all. It must be admitted that these guys were seasoned shrewd old foxes, each one incredibly patient. Expecting them to step forward and make an example of someone was unrealistic; they would reveal this information to others at a crucial moment later!
In fact, many people in the upper echelons of American society know about John's weaknesses. Anyone with a clear head and foresight can see the weaknesses of Gulfstream Aerospace and Pan Am. However, no one targets them because they don't want to be at odds with John. No one wants to face John's wrath. In fact, many people even suspect that John may have intentionally left these weaknesses behind to put their minds at ease.

Didn't Oil Capital notice this problem? They saw it very clearly, but they didn't target John's weakness because they didn't want to fight him to the death. The old guys present were also well aware of this, but none of them spoke up. Now that Rockefeller had reminded them, they were all overjoyed.

I believe that these words will be relayed to John, that little fox, by someone with ulterior motives, and even those present will likely do the same. The reason is simple: to use Rockefeller to ease tensions with John. Rockefeller, too, had already considered this issue when he uttered these words, as he had discussed it with John. This old fox acted before them, pointing out John's weakness and subtly hinting that he would use it to test others. So, it's all a setup; the only question is who will ultimately fall into it!
