America: My Time

Chapter 1163 Insidious Suspicion

Chapter 1153 Insidious Suspicion
Oil Capital was already on guard, even suspicious, but they dared not take any rash actions. They did not want to expose everything prematurely because they were not prepared. Even with the Federal Reserve behind these guys, they dared not make too many moves at this time.

In fact, when John decided to take this opportunity to liquidate his assets in Southeast Asia, he had considered that it might alert Oil Pacific Capital. However, the die was cast, and he couldn't afford to give up this profit. If he couldn't let go of this profit, could Oil Pacific Capital, with its greedy nature, do so? Even if they could, could the Federal Reserve behind them let go? Would the capital on Wall Street agree? This wasn't just a matter for Oil Pacific Capital alone; even if they wanted to give it up, they couldn't, and dared not, do it!

Although John was not in the United States, Oil Pacific Capital had been keeping an eye on him. No matter how careful these guys were, their secret meeting was still discovered by the Jaguar Security Company, which was watching them, and the news quickly reached John's hands.

"Just as I thought. Never underestimate others. No matter how flawless your actions, they will still see through you. Now I wonder if these guys have the guts to give up!" John said, a faint smile appearing on his face, a mockery of the oil capital. They've already figured things out, but do they have the courage?

Of course, John also understood that if these guys didn't give up, he might face an even more insane Asian economic crisis. Hong Kong would be the battleground between him and the oil-rich capital. He couldn't give up his interests in Hong Kong, even though he had already sold off many assets. But those weren't all of John's assets in Hong Kong. If something went wrong in Hong Kong, Standard Chartered Bank would also be severely damaged. After all, Standard Chartered Bank was the note-issuing bank, not to mention John had so many real estate properties and so many plans in Hong Kong!

John felt a pang of worry for a moment. His plan had been discovered by Oil Capital. What if others noticed it too? What if the Japanese, Koreans, and other groups had something to say about it? But he quickly dismissed the worry. What's done is done. There was no point in thinking about it anymore. What was coming would come eventually. And even if they noticed, what good would it do? His scheme was set up, and he was just waiting for the final harvest. Besides, his reasons were perfectly valid!
Thinking of this, John smiled calmly and shook his head. He was still too young. If it were those old guys, they probably wouldn't have so many troubles. They wouldn't care about the thoughts of those Japanese and Koreans. In their eyes, those guys were just ants, ants that they could slaughter at will.

While John was becoming wary, the guys at Oil Pacific Capital didn't relax either. They were under even more pressure, after all, Oil Pacific Capital now was not the Oil Pacific Capital of the future, and it hadn't yet become the sole dominant force in the United States. They were all waiting for news from John, as they were very worried that things would get out of their control.

"Good, very good. John hasn't reacted at all. It seems this was all an accident. He's run out of patience, or rather, those guys have exhausted his patience. He hasn't reacted at all in China, as if he doesn't know about our plan!"

"It's good that there are no problems, which puts our minds at ease. But we can't be careless, especially at times like these. Don't forget that Sony from Japan has already approached John, only to be rejected. I'm just worried that things might revolve around this. After all, John's relationship with Japan isn't new, and he has so many women around him. Words spoken to him can still be quite effective. At least those guys in Japan are very adept at using these tactics, otherwise they wouldn't have so many collaborations with John!"

“That’s right. We were too complacent and arrogant back then. We always thought we were so great that we didn’t need to care about this guy’s feelings. But we were wrong. Opportunities were once presented to us, but we didn’t cherish them. Now there’s no way to make amends. Even if we make arrangements, John’s vigilance won’t allow it.”

"Alright, let's not talk about women anymore. John is no simple man. If you really think he'll be swayed by women, you're just overthinking it. He's never short of women. Don't be fooled by that nonsense. A lot of it is John's own doing. Anyone who believes he's the next Howard Hughes is a fool. This guy is more rational than Hughes. I've even always suspected that his womanizing is just a cover!"

"No, that would be a bit of an exaggeration. John is a playboy, that's true. After all, he's a man, it's a man's nature. What does a man want most when he has money? Women, and John, being so young, is even more so. However, this guy is more vigilant, more cautious, and even more rational than others. Don't be fooled by the methods of those Japanese guys; everything they gain comes at a price. We shouldn't interfere in women's issues now, because the more we do, the more mistakes we make. Many people don't want to see us reconcile with John. If that day comes, we might be in danger, but that little fox John will be perfectly safe!"

These words sounded unbelievable, but these oil tycoons wholeheartedly agreed. They weren't fools; if they were, they wouldn't have amassed such wealth. They understood that they couldn't reconcile with John. Reconciliation meant they would be in grave danger, and the enemy would shift from the younger John to the older generation. They couldn't even handle John, let alone the old guard.

"Let's leave it at that for now and continue with our plans, while maintaining friendly relations with others. As long as we don't take any drastic actions, there shouldn't be any problems in the short term. John's departure from the United States wasn't because he was forced out, but because he voluntarily jumped out of the vortex. If anyone is foolish enough to say that, we need to be cautious!"

At this point, the guy suddenly paused, as if he had thought of something, and then said urgently, "Damn it, could all of this have been orchestrated by that guy John? He has the reason to do it, and he has the ability to do it."

"Hiss!" In an instant, these shrewd and greedy guys all gasped. If John was behind this, then everything was terrifying. Their expressions turned grave, their hearts heavy. "Good heavens, this is insane! If this is true, then John is insane and terrifying! This plan didn't just happen overnight; it's been going on for a long time. How old was John back then?"

"Alright, I think we should wait and see how Morgan and the others behave. After all, this guy has a lot of connections with John. Even if something goes wrong, these guys won't go too far."

"It's a pity we can't talk to Morgan right now, otherwise we would know the details behind this, and we wouldn't be in such a passive position. If this continues, our situation will become more and more dangerous!"

The US election has gone crazy, with both the donkey and the elephant fighting tooth and nail. They'll get involved in anything that can be done, and the two sides are now locked in a fierce battle. But John has been hiding in China, which has left many people puzzled!
When Oil Capital thought of Morgan, the Morgan tycoon was also somewhat dissatisfied with the current situation in the United States, as this series of events was affecting Morgan's interests. Although Morgan didn't say anything, everyone wasn't stupid and naturally understood how terrible the current situation was, how difficult things were for them, and that if something went wrong, the consequences would be unimaginable.

"Jimmy, tell me what John is up to. He hasn't made a move at all!"

“Boss, John wasn’t idle. He retaliated against those guys in Japan. At least he didn’t give Sony any face. I just don’t understand what those guys in Japan are thinking. They have such a great opportunity, but they keep making mistakes. I can’t believe their efforts!”

"Those guys in Japan brought this on themselves, and John won't even care about this. But we can't let our guard down in Japan forever. John is setting things up. Just because we can't see it now doesn't mean it's not there. Otherwise, things wouldn't be like this now. The Japanese think they can fight John? They're overestimating their strength. What makes Sony think they can fight John? They think they can solve everything with an apology? Who do they think they are? It's utterly ridiculous! However, I think there's some truth to what he's saying. John is definitely preparing a big move, waiting to deliver a fatal blow to those guys!"

Morgan knew John well, so at this moment, his instincts told him that everything John was doing was part of a scheme, but it was a huge and crazy one, and if something went wrong, the consequences would be severe.

Despite his young age, John is a man no one in the United States, or even the world, dares to underestimate. Some are even thinking about how to maximize their own gains. However, no matter how good their ideas are, they have to bear all the consequences themselves. Moreover, this situation cannot continue like this!
In fact, John's situation in China was being watched not only by oil and capital, but also by Morgan and even by old guys like Rockefeller. It was as if John was their most important person. Even though they were all Americans, in their hearts, John was too dangerous.

“Boss, you’re believing what those guys at Oil Pacific Capital are saying—that John is making a strategic move and has already completed his layout in Asia, which is why he’s selling those assets? That sounds suspicious no matter how you look at it. If John really was making a strategic move, it wouldn’t be this simple. This is very different from his usual methods!”

"You're too naive. The simpler things are, the more powerful they are. Do you think John's stay in China is just for the surface-level issues, without any other problems? There are no secrets on Wall Street. Perhaps everything is as those guys say. Don't be fooled by our good relationship with John. If we make the wrong choice, disaster will befall us. Countless guys will be eyeing this little fox, John. They're scheming, but how do they know John is scheming too? Their supposedly brilliant plans are nothing but a joke in front of John. The price they're paying now is the highest!"

John's current behavior has made Morgan somewhat uneasy. The friendship between Sony and John was once very deep, but now the two have become enemies. Although it is not John's fault, and John is even the victim, some negative thoughts have emerged under the influence of human nature.

The targeting in the United States is not over yet, and it is even expanding. The most important thing is that John is not in the United States. Even if someone wants to scheme against John, it will be useless. As the turmoil in the United States grows, Morgan believes that Sony will still be unable to resist meeting John and trying everything he can to stop it.

The more Morgan understood John, the more uneasy he became. After all, John's previous methods were too shrewd. Now that old guy Akio Morita was still around, John couldn't go too far. Morgan even suspected that John's actions were an attempt to force Akio Morita out of hiding, or even to exhaust the last bit of affection between them!
It's said that John's friendship with Akio Morita has been completely destroyed, but Morgan doesn't think so. He believes John can't be unaware of this, but John's current reaction is so strange that it's become dangerous and has attracted the attention of some.

Human hearts are fickle, and no one knows when things will change. The Japanese have been eyeing John relentlessly, but they've run out of trump cards, and they haven't even engaged in further communication! Unfortunately, Morgan, though he had a thousand things to say, said nothing. It wasn't that he was afraid, but rather that it was best to wait and see, to avoid problems that could ruin everyone's plans and extinguish any remaining hopes! If another major event were to occur, it wouldn't be good for them; it would be a disaster, a catastrophic catastrophe!
