Chapter 1100 The Enemy's Fear

Chapter 1090 The Enemy's Fear
John's ambitions extend beyond Britain and Europe; Asia is also a major focus, given the impending Asian economic crisis, which will present him with an opportunity to reap the rewards and make acquisitions. Japan is another key area of ​​John's attention; with the deteriorating real estate market, more and more businesses will go bankrupt, and banks will suffer severe blows.

The situation in Japan hasn't deteriorated to its limit yet, and it's not another opportunity for him to make a move. Moreover, opportunities are reserved for those who are prepared. Right now, John's priority is to develop his investment company in Japan, and he has gradually placed this company under the name of Martin, as well as under the names of Naoko, Hitomi Kuroki, and others!
A company entirely controlled by Japanese people can circumvent many restrictions. Once the time is right, its power will be unleashed, and it will establish itself in the Japanese banking industry, making it impossible for those Japanese guys to stop it, at least not on the surface. As long as it is handled well, everything will be fine, just like when I acquired TV Tokyo before!
John was scheming how to further plunder Japan, perfect his plan, and make everything seem perfectly reasonable. So, from the very beginning, this investment company in Japan had been building up its strength.

John wasn't in a hurry or concerned, but things were different in the United States. The guys on Wall Street couldn't ignore all of this, since the current situation had exceeded their expectations. They hadn't anticipated that John would choose to take the initiative at this time and use Hurricane Investment to acquire Barings Bank.

"Gentlemen, we should talk to Morgan and have them speak with John, that little fox. We need to understand his thoughts, otherwise we will all be uneasy. After all, this guy controls a huge amount of money. We don't know how much profit Hurricane Investment has made yet, but it is obviously no less than a billion dollars, not even counting Standard Chartered Bank's profits. You can imagine the huge impact this guy would have on any of us if he targeted any of us."

"It's all those bastards in Japan's fault. If they hadn't given that little fox John so many loans again, we wouldn't be in this predicament. With so many loans, John doesn't need to use his own funds for the expansion of these companies, which has put a lot of pressure on us!"

"What's the point of saying all this now? Is this something we can change? Even if we asked, do you think those guys in Japan would accept it? You know, a significant portion of John's loans have been used in Japan, creating many jobs for them. Only a fool would refuse John's cooperation at this point!"

"Alright, stop arguing. Those guys in Japan are definitely not someone we can reason with right now. After all, this involves tangible benefits. We can only blame ourselves for this situation, and that idiot at the White House. The NAFTA, which was supposed to be a great deal, has run into such a big problem in just one year, and John, that little fox, has caught us. I have to say, John's abilities in the financial field are remarkable. He saw the problems that we hadn't even noticed, and he planned ahead. Now those guys at GM are filled with regret. Morgan and his team made the right choice, but they insisted on causing trouble, and now they've given John the perfect opportunity."

"Those guys at GM are naturally very regretful, and now Morgan is already planning to sell his GM shares and doesn't intend to continue with those fools. It seems Morgan is also very angry, otherwise he wouldn't have made such a choice."

"Let alone Morgan, if it were me, I would also be annoyed by these guys and make the same decision. It's just that it's not easy for Morgan to let go. Now that such a big mess has occurred, who would be willing to take over such shares? He can only sell them little by little on the stock market!"

"You can't say that. Perhaps someone will be willing to take it over. After all, it's General Motors."

"Gentlemen, we are discussing John, this little fox, not Morgan or General Motors. We need to discuss countermeasures now. Let's not go off-topic. None of us will be at ease until we figure out what John, this little fox, is thinking. And the fact that such ridiculous words have come out at this time makes us even more vigilant, or the consequences will be unimaginable!"

"Go to Morgan? Do you think Morgan will accept? Don't forget Morgan's previous reaction. They don't want to accept this kind of thing anymore. Morgan doesn't want to ruin his relationship with John. Now, they are the ones handling the IPOs of those companies. Do you think Morgan will pay attention to us under these circumstances? Also, John, that little fox, has been in China all along and hasn't returned to the United States. Do you think there might be other problems behind this?"

"Then what do you suggest we do? We can't just do nothing, we can't keep guarding against Hurricane Investment. If we can't find a solution, we'll be in big trouble." "Hahaha, now Lehman Brothers is really desperate. That's right, you have quite a grudge against John. If this guy chooses a target, you'll definitely be among the first to be targeted."

"Heh, we will indeed be ranked high, but under these circumstances, John might not necessarily target us. Besides, we've already reconciled, and most importantly, we've always been on guard. Do you think John will directly attack us, or choose another target? Don't treat John like a fool. Do you really think he's completely unaware of the problems behind Dream World, and the problems with Nvidia! Before, this little fox John focused his energy on the economic crisis, reaping profits. Now he's completely free to act. Who do you think his target will be?"

"Alright, stop arguing. Now that things have happened, we need to find a solution. We can have a good talk with Morgan. If that doesn't work, we can ask the White House to step in. I believe the White House doesn't want to see problems with the US financial system, and they don't want to see John act recklessly!"

"Heh, we did invite Morgan before, but they refused outright. Doesn't that show their attitude? I don't think Morgan would stand with us and do something that doesn't benefit them."

Previously, these guys were scheming against John, Dreamworld, and Nvidia. Now that John has freed up his resources and launched an acquisition offer for Barings Bank, these guys are all worried and fearful.

"It's better to talk to old Martin than to Morgan. Morgan won't sacrifice his own interests for us now. Besides, we've asked Morgan to step in time and time again, and he's gotten annoyed. Not to mention, Morgan is probably hoping one of us falls down right now. After all, given their relationship with John, they don't have to worry about John targeting them."

“That makes sense, but getting Old Massey to step in won’t be easy. We’ll have to show some sincerity. To be honest, I have a lot of opinions about what Donkey did. Even if these guys have concerns and reservations about China, they can’t target John alone. Now that little fox John has seized the opportunity to frantically dismantle and consolidate his company, getting rid of all constraints. Originally, we could still control this little fox, since his company had all sorts of problems, but now we have no way to deal with him. He’s just taking the opportunity to eliminate this potential threat.”

"Donkey did make some mistakes. If it weren't for their repeated pressure, things wouldn't have deteriorated to this extent. There are problems in Taiwan. John, that little fox, directly dismantled the electronics business, and the contract manufacturing business is also considering splitting up. If this continues, it will really get completely out of control. We should be wary of the Western Energy split."

"It's no use saying all this now. The donkey won't listen, and neither will that bastard in the White House. This guy won't accept our proposal. Most importantly, this guy is quite good at developing the economy, which is beneficial to all of us. If this guy doesn't continue to fight against that little fox John, then we won't have so many troubles!"

"Talk to Donkey first, then ask Old Martin to intervene. I believe Old Martin will understand our intentions. Moreover, if we can persuade Old Martin, we'll have a better chance of persuading John. It's better to give up on Morgan. Don't waste our time and energy. We don't have that much time to waste right now. We don't know when that little fox John will launch his attack. Time waits for no one!"

Time waits for no one. These guys knew John was not someone to mess with, but lured by profit, they still tried to scheme against him time and time again. For these greedy people, only profit mattered. They would do anything for profit, and they never learned their lesson. Faced with absolute profit, these guys forgot all their previous promises. To them, promises didn't exist; profit was the only thing that mattered.

Compared to the fear and anxiety of these guys, Morgan was quite calm. Because Morgan had dealt with some reckless individuals before, Morgan's internal situation was very stable. No one dared to cause trouble anymore, so Morgan could watch everything from the sidelines without worrying about being affected. As for the Barings Bank issue, Morgan could accept it, since John was developing his business overseas, not in the United States!
