America: My Time

Chapter 1284 Profit Sharing
Chapter 1274 Profit Sharing

With the deal between Morgan and John, and with news of Nvidia and Dreamworld spreading, Donald and White House were worried, and Oilfield Capital was even more concerned, especially Donald, who were most afraid of John and Rockefeller reconciling, which would have a huge impact on them.

At this moment, Donkey suddenly realized that even if they wanted to reconcile with John, they had no chance. Leddon had gone too far. Even with Rockefeller's pressure, Leddon still didn't deal with the issues between the Koreans and Israel, let alone Donkey and his group. This gave everyone enough reason to target them.

Of course, Donkey then thought of Old Martin and the Bayard family, but unfortunately, they failed. Old Martin directly refused, and the Bayard family was furious with them. Donkey was sabotaging their interests. John had already informed them to prepare for the sale of a portion of Dreamworld's shares to the family at a low price. If they listened to Donkey and Laugh Tale's advice at this point, wouldn't they be standing against John? What right would they have to receive any benefits from John then? Did they really think the family could control John? That would be foolish!

They wanted to reconcile with John, but they didn't have a single intermediary. At this point, no one could contact John unless they asked Morgan to intervene. But Morgan wouldn't listen to them either, as he had also benefited from John's influence. Not only Morgan, but also those old guys like Rockefeller did the same. So at this time, no one was willing to help the White House's Richard Burton and Donkey's guys; they were just courting death.

"These bastards are getting desperate now, wanting to negotiate with us. What were they doing before? We've warned them more than once about John's situation, but what did Donkey and Zipperton do? Now that they see John is free, and even everyone else is free, they're scared. It's too late for them to reconcile."

"That's right, if we don't teach Zipperton a lesson this time, it would be a real shame for all of us who have put in so much effort!"

"Yes, it's time to teach them a lesson. Otherwise, they'll think we're easy to bully. And this time, once we make a move, no one will stop us. Even John will give us his full support. That bastard, Zipperton, will pay the price for his actions. No one can scheme against our conglomerate without paying the price. It's just that times have changed. Otherwise, this bastard wouldn't have gotten away with it so easily. We could have just shot him in the back!"

Yes, times have changed. Everyone's finally following the rules, and it would be a huge loss to take a sneak attack on Lancelot now. Even John has been following the rules; if they break them first, the consequences will be severe. Although the donkey and Lancelot were at fault first, rules are rules, and Lancelot is, after all, the president.

At this time, the winds of change were beginning to blow in the United States. And just then, on the eve of Christmas, Oregon sided with the elephants. The reason was simple: Calvin directly presented his reasons to the donkeys. He pointed directly to Richardson's inaction and the donkeys' unfair treatment of them. "If you're unjust, don't blame me for being unjust too." In this way, the donkeys lost a state, Oregon underwent a political upheaval, but this did not provoke public discontent.

After John took over Oregon, their quality of life improved dramatically. Jobs increased, society became more stable, and it became one of the safest states in the United States. Any underground forces were suppressed. No matter how much trouble they caused, they could not affect the people, or they would be forcefully eliminated.

“John, you’ve really messed me up! A lot of donkeys are talking to me now. If I hadn’t been a member of the Elephant before, things would have been even more complicated!” Calvin complained directly to John. With the change of government in Oregon, the donkeys were really getting angry. This is a whole state, and they never expected things to turn out like this.

"Don't pay any attention to those guys. Old Martin will handle everything. Besides, it's not our fault. It's all because Donkey was too arrogant and Lassoton was too confident. Didn't he want to stall for time and suppress us? They forced us into this. We have legitimate reasons. Even if we take it to the public, we have absolutely valid reasons. Given the current situation, they wouldn't dare to take it to the public, otherwise Lassoton would be questioned, and Donkey would be questioned too."

At this point, John paused slightly, then sighed, "To be honest, I really hope they cause some trouble at this time, or even incite the General Motors workers to riot, so I will have a legitimate reason to take action against them and move the General Motors manufacturing plant away again."

"John, this is no joke. If you do this again, the consequences will be severe. The people will not stand for it!"

"No, they won't object, because this time I don't plan to move south. I plan to relocate directly to Oregon, still within the United States. The people won't care; they'll just think that this is all the Donkey's own doing, the bitter fruit of GM workers' own actions, and they should bear the consequences!" "Hiss! If it really succeeds, then there will be no more opposition in the entire state of Oregon, and everything will be under our control." At this moment, Irwin became excited, eager to see all of this happen.

"Uncle, don't get agitated. This situation is still uncertain, and it's beyond our control. Everything depends on the donkey's reaction and the reaction of the General Motors workers. We have no options; all we can do is wait!"

Would John choose such a passive reaction as waiting? No, John isn't that kind of person. This was all part of John's calculations from the very beginning; it was all part of his plan. If he didn't retaliate against Donkey and Zipperton's repeated provocations, he would be too weak. It was only because of the entanglement of those old fogies like Rockefeller that John dared not retaliate openly, choosing instead to act covertly. Now, the time is ripe; it's time for Donkey to pay the price, time for them to take responsibility for their foolishness!
“John, I hope you can do it. Don’t try to challenge the bottom line of the people. If the enemy seizes the opportunity, everything you’ve done before will be for naught.” Although John explained, Calvin was still a little worried. After all, things were not under control, and John’s current situation was not so stable. There were still enemies hiding in the shadows waiting to cause him trouble.

Don't be fooled by the current allure of profit by those Rockefeller guys. If even greater gains are offered, they'll go berserk and target John. Calvin is worried that John might become arrogant after this temporary victory, giving the enemy an opening, which would have dire consequences.

"Uncle, don't worry, I know what I'm doing. You don't need to worry about me. Also, I'm letting go of Dream World this time, but I'll leave you some shares. Once everything is arranged, I'll have someone deliver them to you." John hadn't forgotten his uncle. Since he was letting go, he still needed to make some arrangements for the family, especially since his uncle had been helping him manage Oregon all along. He couldn't be stingy.

“John, I don’t want to. It’s too valuable. I don’t want to put you in a difficult position!” Calvin understood that if John did this, he would have to give up more shares, which was not what he wanted to see!
"Just accept it. It's nothing compared to our relationship. I've already made preparations for Allen and Eva. As for my uncle, my relationship with him isn't that good, and he's also with the family, so I don't need to make any preparations for him. After all, the family has already made arrangements, so I won't make any further arrangements."

John also harbored some resentment towards his uncle. Now, the uncle was completely prioritizing the family's interests and had never considered his own. Moreover, his cousin hadn't helped him either. Under these circumstances, even if it came to sharing the profits, he couldn't possibly make such an arrangement!

Hearing John's words, Calvin sighed. He knew about the situation in the family and understood that John had done more than enough. If anyone was dissatisfied, it could only be said that they were too greedy, not that John was not generous enough. Such a situation had never occurred among the many families in the United States.

Of course, a prodigy like John is rare, making it impossible to fully assess his character. However, most people believe John did nothing wrong. You reap what you sow; expecting something for nothing is unrealistic. If John were to give something away, it would make everyone in the family greedy and covet his position—something Calvin didn't want to see!

"Mother, don't worry, I've made arrangements for Uncle too!" Anna breathed a sigh of relief as soon as John finished speaking.

However, Smith sighed, "John, don't resent your uncle. He had no choice. Family matters are not something he can change just because he wants to. He was in a difficult position himself!"

“I know, but it’s even more difficult for me! I would have a reason to do anything if they took any action, but as you can see, I haven’t received any response at all, so I have no way to deal with it.”
