America: My Time

Chapter 1297 Seeing Through Everything?
Chapter 1287 Seeing Through Everything?
"No, I've been tricked. John isn't here to provoke me, he's here to test me. There's something wrong with that record!" It didn't take long for Zipperton to realize this. He wasn't stupid. He was so angry before that he didn't think too much about it and just thought John was provoking him. But after everything calmed down, he realized the problem after a little thought.

At this moment, First Lady Hillary said, "I advised you long ago not to get involved in the fight between Donkey and John, and not to make enemies with a financial tycoon like John over such a trivial matter, but you wouldn't listen. Now you've offended all the big financial tycoons in the United States!"

For the ambitious Sheryl, the most unwelcome sight was Richard Lambton's actions, which she found far too dangerous. She knew all too well how formidable John, raised with an elite education, was, and she never believed he would continue to yield, nor would she believe he would compromise with the Donald or the White House. To offend such a powerful conglomerate for the sake of a momentary grievance was hardly a good thing. Unfortunately, Lambton wouldn't listen and insisted on joining forces with the Donald to target John.

Soon someone brought over John's records. Fortunately, this particular record wasn't lost, and he hadn't intended to use it to attack John. After unpacking it, Zipperton put it into the record player, and sure enough, a Christmas song started playing, which instantly darkened Zipperton's face!
"That bastard is too insidious. This isn't just a test; it's probably a conspiracy. If I have even the slightest thought of targeting him or bring up this record, I'll be targeted by him!"

Looking at the furious Zipperton, Hillary said, "This is normal. This is the result of elite education. You don't think everything he has is just luck, do you? The reason he didn't make a big fuss before wasn't because he was afraid of you, nor was it because he had a good personality. It was because he was frantically transferring assets, not wanting to fight you. Now he no longer needs to worry about assets. He has made full preparations, so naturally he will fight back. You were lucky this time too. If it weren't for Rockefeller and the others not wanting to suffer too much loss and taking the initiative to persuade Morgan, you would be in danger, and our whole family would be in danger. Don't underestimate the counterattack of financial groups. You haven't forgotten what happened to Presidents like Reagan who were shot in the back, have you?"

"How could I not know? I just didn't expect them to be so crazy, and I didn't expect Morgan to make such a decision."

"You're just too arrogant. Perhaps you've become a bit haughty after your re-election and forgotten what respect is. Besides, you were clearly outmaneuvered by John this time. He took this opportunity to seize control of Oregon, aligning himself with the giants and relentlessly trying to suppress the conglomerates. You're overthinking it! Even if you have your internet superhighway plan, can it compare to John's strategy? Furthermore, Rockefeller has repaid all the favors he owed you this time. He won't stand on your side anymore, or rather, he never did. All he wants is profit!"

How could Zipperton not know this? But there was nothing he could do. He was one of the Donkeys, and John had always stood on the opposite side of the Donkeys, which left him with no choice.

Ignoring Zipperton's predicament, Hillary continued, "Now how do you plan to face all this? When do you plan to settle your promises? You're not going to continue to trust Donkey and delay, are you? If you want to do that, you'll definitely incur the wrath of the conglomerate. You'd better think it through!"

At this moment, Zipperton said with a wry smile, "Then what do you think I should do? Can I refuse? If I refuse now, do you think I'll have a good life for the next few years? Will Donkey still stand by my side? I'm not unaware of the dangers involved, but I have no choice now!"

Upon hearing Lancelot's words, Hillary's expression changed slightly. This was an answer she didn't want to hear. She could imagine that if Lancelot didn't handle everything quickly, a new crisis would arise. The American financial tycoons wouldn't give him any face, and things would only get more and more chaotic. But now Hillary didn't know what to do. It was clear that the Donalds still wanted to fight John, and they were also dissatisfied with Old Martin and the Bayard family's change of heart. This wasn't over; they wanted to continue their battle with John!
Taking a deep breath, Hillary said, "You'd better not go too far. John has almost no assets left. Even Bell Labs has been taken over by offshore companies and foundations. On the surface, John has very few assets, only some shares in media and entertainment. You could say he's made all the necessary preparations. If you continue this saga, it won't be good for you or Donald. I hope you stop targeting General Motors and stop provoking them. If Donald wants to cause trouble, then let them."

That's true, but in the world of business, one is not always in control of one's own destiny. For Zipperton to become the president is not something he can achieve simply by backing down. Donkey won't let him do that, and he also harbors endless anger, not only directed at Donkey, but also at the conglomerate, and even more so at John. Therefore, he has no intention of giving up.

When the situation reached this point, everything was no longer up to Zipperton. Looking back now, he realized that his grudge against John had deepened without his knowledge. Most importantly, all the favors he had done for Rockefeller and the other old guys had vanished because of this incident. Suddenly, he realized that his situation was really dangerous!

In just a few short days, everything had changed so dramatically. How could this not put pressure on Laugh Tale? He wanted to resolve the situation, but he couldn't see any direction. He had never been in control of the situation. While Laugh Tale was searching for the Christmas present John had sent, some people had already spread the news. There were informants in the White House, so soon even the bigwigs of the conglomerates knew about it.

"It seems that Laugh Tale isn't too slow to react, waking up so quickly. It's just a pity he didn't react immediately; it's a bit too late now. John's scheme is too insidious. Donkey and his cronies have found themselves a formidable enemy. I wonder how much retaliation they'll suffer!"

"Donkey isn't worried right now. At least until the Asian financial crisis is over, this matter won't erupt. John will save face for everyone and for the Federal Reserve. Moreover, with Morgan involved, John is even less likely to take any drastic actions. It's just that things will become troublesome again after everything is over!"

"I wonder if Morgan will talk to John about this, and whether John even wants to come back, or if he'll give us a chance to sit down and talk. This guy hiding outside isn't good for us; even if he has a lot of excuses, it's still pressure on us!"

"So what? Can you convince John, Soros, not to overthink things? Your most important task right now is to keep an eye on the Asian financial crisis and complete our mission. Now is not the time to compete with John. If you really want to challenge him, you will have your chance. Hong Kong is your chance to fight, and John has already noticed this."

“I know, John has mentioned this before. He has a lot of assets in Hong Kong, no less than those of the major families in Hong Kong. If this guy hadn’t already transferred all these assets, he would be the biggest family in Hong Kong.”

"It's useless to talk about this now. We still need to continue to understand the situation of the funds John has, the situation of Standard Chartered Bank, the situation of Integrity Bank and East West Bank, and the situation of Hurricane Investment. We need to have a thorough understanding of all of this. Otherwise, it will pose a considerable threat to us, and if it really breaks out at a critical moment, the consequences will be very serious."

“I think you shouldn’t have such thoughts anymore. John won’t give us that kind of opportunity. This crisis has made me realize something. John has been guiding us all along. Everything we know is what he wants us to know. I think it’s best not to have such thoughts anymore, and not even to believe any of the information we have. I don’t think John has that much wealth. I think he’s setting up a crazy scheme!”

At this point, Soros couldn't help but sigh. The changes in the United States were happening too fast, and he felt the pressure, especially now that John had brought up 'Dream World' and 'Nvidia'. Was there no ulterior motive behind this? What exactly was this guy trying to do? These were questions Soros desperately wanted to know, but he couldn't see through John's scheme.

The old guard in the US all wanted to see through John's scheme, but they couldn't. The upheaval in Oregon, in particular, had a significant impact on them, putting them under immense pressure.

“Let’s take it one step at a time. Whatever John’s plans are, we must strictly carry out the tasks assigned to us by the Federal Reserve. I advise you not to overthink it or put too much pressure on yourself. Even if the worst happens, we will be fine, and you will be fine too. At least for now, they still need us, and John is not unaware of who is behind us, so you have absolutely no need to be afraid!”
