Chapter 1184 Soros's Conspiracy
Chapter 1174 Soros's Conspiracy

The outbreak of the Asian financial crisis and Soros's aggressive moves have plunged the entire Southeast Asia into dire straits. Now, many people are trying to find John and 7-Eleven, wanting to back down and sell assets, but unfortunately, they can't find anyone. Moreover, with the outbreak of the crisis, it's not just the retail industry that's affected; all sectors are impacted, especially the financial industry, and Southeast Asian countries are in a state of panic.

Standard Chartered Bank was also in action, but they were very discreet, having prepared for a long time and with numerous pretexts. Initially, the Southeast Asian banks didn't take them seriously, but now they realized things weren't as they had imagined. However, at this point, these companies had no time to deal with Standard Chartered Bank and John's conglomerates; they were facing attacks from Soros and the crocodiles of Wall Street.

"Boss, Soros wants to see you!" Just as John was in Taiwan, arranging everything there, a phone call came in. Soros wanted to see John and discuss countermeasures. The call was from Hong Kong, from Standard Chartered Bank. Soros wanted to bring John and Standard Chartered Bank into his scheme.

“Reject him. Tell that guy I have no time or inclination to see him. We're not on the same wavelength. Don't have any contact with this guy. We're different from them. We walk the straight and square path. We're a real bank. This guy is a financial assassin who does all sorts of insidious and vicious things! He has the Federal Reserve behind him. We have nothing. We can't let this bastard take us down.”

At this moment, John reminded Yuan Tianfan not to be careless and fall into Soros's trap. This bastard had no good intentions in wanting to see him, nor did he have any good intentions in contacting Standard Chartered Bank. He just wanted to scheme against him and Standard Chartered Bank.

John understood that this bastard wasn't just trying to ruin his reputation; he was also after Hong Kong and wanted Standard Chartered Bank as an inside man. If he agreed to this guy's request, the consequences would be severe, potentially ruining his operations in China and his entire plan. He might end up with such a bad reputation.

“Okay, I’ll refuse them right away!” Yuan Tianfan quickly understood his boss’s concerns and the conspiracy behind the matter. Standard Chartered Bank was not like Soros and his ilk. After figuring it out, Yuan Tianfan couldn’t help but shudder. If Standard Chartered Bank were to be outmaneuvered by this bastard, its global expansion would be further hampered, and it might even affect Standard Chartered Bank’s global business!

“Remember, never associate with this bastard. We are a legitimate bank; we seek long-term development, not short-term gains!” John, worried that Yuan Tianfan was unaware of Soros's cunning, reminded him again, fearing that a single misstep could plunge Standard Chartered Bank into crisis!

Yuan Tianfan understood the danger of his boss's serious reminder and immediately relayed the boss's request to everyone at Standard Chartered Bank. He was determined not to have any contact with this guy during the Asian crisis to avoid getting involved in unnecessary trouble.

Although Standard Chartered Bank is also taking action, everything is under control. However, if it gets entangled with that bastard Soros, things will be dangerous, and it won't be so easy to extricate itself. It could even make Standard Chartered Bank hated by the Southeast Asian countries that have been attacked, affecting Standard Chartered Bank's development!

John had originally planned to stay in Taiwan a little longer, but this incident changed his mind, forcing him to change his mind. Although he had rejected this guy, it wasn't safe to stay in Taiwan. He couldn't refuse to see this bastard, but the bastard could find other ways to come to him.

John quickly made his decision: leave Taiwan and head directly to Beijing, the capital of China, to avoid that bastard Soros and those guys on Wall Street, giving them no chance to scheme against him. At this point, John needed to be cautious and not give his enemies any opportunity.

"Damn it, why would John refuse us? Could it be that this bastard saw through our scheme and knew we wanted to scheme against him and ruin his reputation? Doesn't he feel tempted by the benefits?" Soros was furious after receiving the call; this was an outcome he hadn't expected!

"What's the use of saying all this now? Regardless of whether John has seen through our plan or not, we can't stop now. And even if John doesn't want to see us, we can go see him. We have plenty of ways to meet with him. Even if he refuses, it will still have some impact!"

As expected, none of these guys at Oil Capital are good people; they even have such insidious and vicious schemes. But if he can think of something, how could John not think of it? If he wants to scheme against John, he needs such an opportunity.

“It’s difficult, very difficult. If John sees through our scheme, even if we come to him on our own initiative, it will be useless. He will not give us such an opportunity. Taiwan is not something we can control.”

“We can’t control it, but the guys behind us have the ability. As long as we ask them to step in, we’ll naturally have the opportunity to do all this. And even if John knows, it won’t matter, because everything has already happened, and he’ll still have to take the blame!” Soros was also ruthless and had a new plan!

"Are you crazy? Do you know what you're doing? Your madness will provoke John's furious retaliation. Once this happens, John won't show us any mercy. Do you think we can withstand John's wrath? Can we handle such suppression?"

"Why should we face all this? This is not our decision, but the decision of those behind us, the Federal Reserve, the White House. We are just executors, not the decision-makers!" Goodness, Soros is really ruthless, directly dragging all these people into his charade!
“Soros, do you know what you’re saying? Do you think those guys won’t understand the calculations behind this? Can we withstand their wrath? I advise you not to play with fire. If something goes wrong, the consequences will be unbearable for either of us. It will bring us destruction, do you understand?” Of course Soros understood. He had considered all of this when making this decision. He smiled calmly and said, “I understand, I understand how serious the consequences will be. You don’t really think we have to bear those consequences, do you? You think those guys at the Federal Reserve won’t stand up for us? That’s their thinking too. Those guys want to hurt that little fox John even more than we do, they want to ruin John’s reputation, they fear John’s growth and expansion even more. So we just need to do it, without any worries.”

"Soros, I hope you can be completely transparent. I want to know if all of this was a plan they discussed with you beforehand. This is no small matter, and I need a clear answer!" Faced with Soros's reply, someone in Oil Capital could no longer contain himself, because this was something he had never known before.

"Yes, we did have such discussions before, but we didn't expect things to actually come to this. John really refused the temptation of this benefit. You don't need to worry at all. Even if there is any danger in the future, those guys will step in to solve the problem for us. We won't have to face John alone!"

Upon hearing Soros's words, some people within the oil capital were already quite dissatisfied with Soros's concealment, as it posed a great danger to them. They dared not entrust their safety to those guys; they had seen clearly what happened to Japan, and these guys were playing the game of crossing the river and then burning the bridge very recklessly.

Before the discontented members of the oil capital group could speak, Soros continued, "Alright, that's how it is. Whatever your thoughts are, this is something we have to face. You can't just refuse this. If we don't accept it, how do you think those guys will target us? If we want to establish ourselves, we have to cooperate with them, otherwise we will suffer their suppression."

While Soros's words were true, there were some things he didn't say: Soros had received benefits and promises from those people, but he simply didn't want to share them. He wanted to keep them all to himself, or rather, those who stood with him wanted to keep them all to themselves.

"So what? Even if those guys want to suppress us, they won't dare to go too far, after all, they still need our help. But you've agreed to their demands behind our backs, putting us completely on the opposite side of John. If something goes wrong, we'll suffer a crazy counterattack from John!"

"Heh, you think John will let us off the hook even if we do nothing? Don't forget what we did before, don't forget our grudge against John. Even if we do all this this time, it won't have much of an impact, since we already thoroughly offended John long ago!"

Soros was telling the truth, and it was precisely because it was the truth that people felt even more uneasy. Even the most wary people were unwilling to accept the consequences and the terrible impact.

The minority submits to the majority, and soon, under Soros's arrangement, these guys raised their hands to vote. It was clear that Soros, who had been prepared in advance, had won the final victory and gained the approval of most of the oil capital. Therefore, this matter could proceed smoothly, and they could launch their operation to scheme against John!

However, just as these guys were about to take action, an unexpected message appeared: John had left Taiwan and gone directly to Beijing, China. Soros was dumbfounded when this news came out, because before he could even take action, such news came from the United States. All of this made Soros very angry.

"Damn it, why didn't those bastards stop John? They couldn't possibly have failed to do all this. If they had just stepped in, Taiwan would have cooperated. If we had just a little time, we could have delivered the fatal blow to John!" At this moment, Soros had become somewhat frantic. He couldn't accept this outcome; it had a significant impact on him!

"No matter how angry you are now, it's useless. Everything has already happened. Do you still think your plan is brilliant? You think your plan is good, and that those guys are trustworthy, but now you don't even have that opportunity. Don't you think there's something wrong with all of this? You were just about to take action, and John made the decision to leave Taiwan. Isn't all of this a bit too coincidental?"

"Are you suspecting there's something wrong with us, or are you suspecting someone in the US is leaking information and informing those bastards like John?" Soros quickly understood what the guy was thinking, so he asked with a gloomy face. This was the last thing he wanted to hear, and the last thing he wanted to see!

"Don't you know whether there's something wrong with us? I don't believe you could have been secretly monitored all this. Now that this problem has arisen, it can only mean that something's wrong on the US side. Do you still think it's necessary to do all this? Do you think John already knew about our plan? Let go. Stop having this crazy idea. We don't need to risk our lives. Profits are important, but our safety is more important. This isn't the US; this is Asia. John's power is even greater here. Do you understand?"

Soros understood. Given his character, how could he not suspect something was amiss in the US? But he was powerless to do anything about it. Even if he knew there was a problem, what could he do? Could he possibly resolve everything, or prevent it from happening altogether, or launch a targeted counterattack? If he had such power, he wouldn't have been forced into this situation. Soros wasn't stupid; he understood the danger lurking behind it all. If things went wrong, he would become a pawn for those bastards, taking the blame for them, bearing all the grievances and hatred alone!
