Chapter 1110 The White House New Year's Party

Chapter 1100 New Year's Party at the White House

Will Jimmy understand what John is saying? Whether he understands or not is not important; Morgan will understand. So John doesn't care about Jimmy's reaction, because this guy will go back and tell Morgan everything.

The White House New Year's Eve party—that's what everyone really cares about. It's an internal Wall Street party, and John's absence won't be a big deal; at least they won't cause any major trouble. The real showdown will be at the White House New Year's Eve party—that's where John and these guys will truly clash, and that's where the agreement for the next few years will be made.

As John's power continued to grow, there were no objections from his family. After all, they could all benefit from John and acquire shares at a low price when his companies went public. Only a fool would refuse such a huge profit. Moreover, with John taking control of the entire state of Oregon, these guys wouldn't say anything more! That's Oregon, after all. That alone surpasses the power of the family, not to mention John's wealth.

Today, many people are speculating about how much wealth John actually possesses, but unfortunately, no one knows. This is because John owns too many offshore companies, so at this time, no one knows how astonishing the wealth John controls is. Most of these offshore companies are still hidden, and the funds in these offshore companies do not come from John's public accounts, but from his hidden banks in Europe. Therefore, this part of his assets is kept secret.

"Grandpa, are you going to the White House New Year's party this year?" John asked with a puzzled look. Although the old man was no longer the patriarch, he shouldn't be making such a decision given his status among the donkeys.

“I’m not going! But you can’t refuse. Lassoton has already contacted me. No matter what conflict you have, you can’t refuse the White House’s New Year’s party. You have to give the White House face. After all, Oregon is the Donkeys’ home turf. No matter how big the conflict is between you, you can’t embarrass the White House at this time!”

"I know, and I didn't say I would refuse. I will still give him the face he deserves, and I will even give him the donation. No matter what, I will give him face, give that donkey face. But this is only for this one time. In the future, it will have no relation to him. And this guy shouldn't expect my media company to help him!"

"We'll see when the time comes. Are you sure you'll leave the US in the second half of the year and return after the election, completely refusing to participate in the election struggle? You should understand that you won't gain anything by doing that."

"Grandpa, I understand. I've never wanted to gain anything from them. As long as they don't target me, I'll remain neutral. As for the Oregon vote, I won't interfere! Although I hate the Donalds, this time I'm neutral and won't participate. This is my promise to the Donalds! However, things won't be like this in the future!"

Hearing John's words, the old man sighed. He understood that John had already done a great job. If the donkeys still didn't know when to advance or retreat, then John couldn't be blamed. Now, many of the donkeys had objections. After all, none of them expected John's methods to be so powerful, to have taken control of Oregon in such a short time. A state can determine the outcome at a crucial moment, and no one dared to underestimate it!
Oregon was originally a stronghold for the Donalds, but that's no longer the case. The entire state of Oregon is now in John's hands, which is what shocked everyone and caused a lot of concern.

"John, you could actually represent the Bayard family at the White House New Year's party. Everyone in the family thinks it's a good decision?" Suddenly, the old man changed his tone and said these words!
Representing the Bayard family at the White House New Year's Eve party? John had no desire to take on such a responsibility, shaking his head and saying, "Grandpa, I don't want to shoulder that responsibility. Besides, do you think it would be good for the Bayard family if I did this? Perhaps the benefits outweigh the drawbacks, but it would be more beneficial for the family's development if I participated in my personal capacity!"

John refused without hesitation. If he could, he would never want to participate. He only had to participate to save face for the White House, otherwise he would be cutting himself off from high society!

“Alright, I won’t force you. You have your own ideas, and you have your own standing. But this time, you can’t do anything underhanded again, or things will get bad.” John knew what the old man was referring to: his female companion. This was no small matter. Once or twice wouldn’t be a problem, but doing it again would cause dissatisfaction among the American public and affect his public image. John naturally understood this and nodded with a smile, “I understand. This time I’m not going to slap the White House in the face, nor am I targeting Leighton. Although some guys are trying to scheme against me, I won’t stoop to their level!”

John didn't care about his enemies in the United States. After all, these guys had no idea about his plans, and no matter how many schemes they had, they were no match for him. Right now, his focus was on Asia, because he didn't have much time left and needed to speed up his development.

While John and the old man were discussing the White House New Year's party, Morgan's expression was also grave. Although Jimmy had already informed him of John's decision, as well as those guys on Wall Street, things weren't that simple. Some people are always self-righteous, or rather, arrogant, harboring inappropriate thoughts and determined to cause trouble!

"Jimmy, do you think we should give in to these guys' requests?"

“Boss, I think we should ignore these guys. John has made it clear he doesn’t want to talk to them. Otherwise, he wouldn’t have used Morgan to warn them. If we still invite John, it could affect our cooperation with him. Morgan is powerful, but we’re not without competitors. And if our relationship with John really breaks down, those guys will be incredibly excited to snatch John, our big client, away from us. These guys have no good intentions and are always trying to sabotage our cooperation with John. They can discuss anything at the White House New Year’s party. If they can’t do that, it just means they’re incompetent, and it has nothing to do with us!”

“What you said makes some sense, but those guys won’t give up so easily. After all, they’re too greedy, especially at this time, and some people are worried that John will deliver a fatal blow at a crucial moment!”

"Hehe, those oily people are too arrogant, thinking that everyone is like them, they don't care about their reputation and are capable of doing anything that is untrustworthy. Since John has spoken, he will definitely keep his promise, unless these guys want to cause trouble, want to target John, or want to scheme against John, this little fox."

"It's highly likely they're scheming. After all, these guys have invested heavily in copper prices, and there are also American mining companies involved. If John delivers a fatal blow at a crucial moment, how much do you think they'll lose? We know John is a man of his word, but they don't think so, and they don't trust John! Now that John is unwilling to sit down and talk with them, these guys will naturally be even more fearful and uneasy."

Jimmy sighed and said, "These guys are overthinking it. John won't give up the image he's built up over the years for their little bit of benefit. They're not in a position to make John do something like that!"

“You understand because you’re in Morgan’s company, but even if those guys understand, they don’t dare to really go all out. The reason is simple: they can’t afford the consequences of failure. If they fail, the losses will be heavy, and it might even severely damage their strength, leaving them with no chance for a while.”

“Then they can ask Leighton to step in, or they can ask the White House to step in. As long as the White House intervenes, I believe John will still give the President some face. After all, John has always been a man of integrity and a man who follows the rules!”

"That's true, but in many cases, those guys simply don't dare gamble with their own resources. If they lose, the price they pay will be staggering. You know about the silver incident back then. Do you think those guys would dare to pin all their hopes on John? Such a huge number of copper ingots flowed directly into the market. Do you think that would have a huge impact on the entire market? Moreover, the mines controlled by Quantum Mining are too terrifying, making them uneasy."

Morgan was right. These guys didn't want to entrust their lives and fortunes to John's integrity. And even if John broke the agreement, they couldn't do anything about it. After all, it was normal business practice. Unless they broke the rules, they could only accept their fate. Under such circumstances, how could they dare to be careless?
Jimmy understood all of this perfectly well, but as long as he understood, the current situation left them helpless. As long as John persisted, they could only accept their fate. After all, these guys had no way to target John, and they had already exhausted all their methods. If they made any further moves, it would only provoke John, this little fox, and only make them sink deeper and deeper, eventually burying them in this matter. Under such circumstances, who would dare to be careless!
