America: My Time

Chapter 1313 Morgan's Doubts

Chapter 1303 Morgan's Doubts

While zipperton was racking his brains, Morgan, Rockefeller, and Kennedy, the bigwig of the Donkey Group, sat together discussing the current situation. This time, it wasn't Morgan and Rockefeller going after Kennedy; rather, the other side had found Rockefeller and Morgan. They were also shocked by this frenzied killing. They had experienced this more than once, so they dared not continue to test John's limits, nor dared to go too far!

“Kennedy, I’ve always had a question: why do you insist on making trouble for the women around John? What’s the point? Can’t you do something else? Doing this again and again isn’t good for you either. After all, bullying women is such an ‘ugly’ thing that it’s hard to accept. Everyone should maintain a certain bottom line. You keep provoking that bottom line, which is a bit inappropriate!”

"Do you think we wanted to do this? We couldn't find any other way. Only women are John's weakness, so we had to resort to this idea. And it's an obvious weakness, the easiest to attack." As he said this, Kennedy couldn't help but sigh, a faint trace of disappointment flashing in his eyes.

It wasn't that she hadn't tried to win John over, but her idea of ​​a marriage alliance was immediately rejected. John hadn't given them a chance at all, which was why things were so complicated. If John had agreed to the marriage, she wouldn't have had so much trouble, and she wouldn't have faced such difficulties.

"Heh, didn't you ever consider that the obvious weakness was intentionally left behind by John to set a trap for you and lure you into a game? If you dare to make a move, he will have every reason to retaliate. That's how things are now, and I don't believe you can't see through that!"

Hearing Morgan's words, Rockefeller smiled bitterly and said, "Let me explain this matter. To put it bluntly, it's greed, it's caused by our excessive selfishness. We always thought we had everything under control and didn't treat John as an equal. After all, he always chose to compromise and was unwilling to confront us directly. As long as we didn't push him too hard, nothing would happen. But human desires are endless, and as we did things, we unknowingly crossed the line."

"Didn't you consider that this was also part of John's plan, part of his scheme?" Morgan was somewhat surprised by this answer, but he could barely accept it, though he still had doubts.

“How could we not see through it? It’s just that under the temptation of huge profits, who can resist? We are not you, Morgan. With your relationship with John, you can easily get the benefits you want, but we are turned away. How can you expect us to tolerate this? We can only take risks, which is why things have turned out like this.”

"I really don't know what to say to you. You've had opportunities before, but which of you valued them? John gave you chances more than once, but you rejected them all. Now that things have turned out like this, you can only blame yourselves for not knowing when to stop and insisting on stepping into this trap. You all know the situation in Asia. Without a reasonable explanation, without a proper account, I'm afraid Soros and his ilk will have a hard time leaving alive. No matter how much trouble you cause, you shouldn't have let things get to this point. In short, Morgan won't get involved in this matter. At least not until John's anger is appeased. I, Morgan, won't step in. I can't keep wasting my favors on you. I've never received a single benefit or help from any of you. You're just undermining me and dragging me down!"

“Morgan, this is no longer just about us; it concerns the entire United States. You should understand the enormous price we paid for the Asian financial crisis to have this opportunity. If this affects the United States' overall strategy, we will all be sinners. Even if you don't care about us, you should consider the future of the United States. Moreover, we are not forcing you to talk to John. As long as you give John a chance to lay down his sword, we will definitely give him an explanation. We will never break our promise. This is a commitment from all of us!”

“Rockefeller, you should go to old Martin or Calvin. They are the key to getting John to stop. Of course, you can also go to Smith, but I don’t want you to do that. It will cause unnecessary trouble. After all, their identities are different. John will take your actions as a threat. If a misunderstanding occurs, things will get really messy!”

"You think we haven't tried? They haven't given us any answers. They can't represent John, and they can't make any promises. After all, Jaguar Security Company isn't under their control. We're worried that those guys from Oil Pacific Capital might act impulsively and do something they shouldn't, and that the Israelis might stir up trouble, completely enraging John and making things spiral out of control. The weapons John has are no ordinary weapons. Even if he takes action, someone will take the blame for him. At least right now, there are quite a few people in the Middle East willing to do that!"

“You all know he has a deadly weapon, so why did you do it? As for those guys in Israel, I’ve said it before, don’t let them get away with it, or they’ll become a burden to us. They’re too greedy. I completely agree with John. Those guys in Israel are the embodiment of greed, otherwise things wouldn’t have turned out like this.”

"It's no use saying all this now. We've already had Zipperton issue a warning, as well as to the Koreans and the Japanese. We don't want things to escalate, so they have to accept it, or they can't blame us for taking action against them!" Kennedy stated Donald's decision at this moment, because the current situation had a huge impact on Donald!
"Actually, there's another reason you're in such a hurry, isn't there? It's about the sale of Dreamworld and Nvidia. You're worried that it will cause John to abandon this decision, which would result in even greater losses for you. To be honest, I still don't quite understand. Even if John has a brilliant vision and a terrifying plan, how much does it affect us? How much does it affect the interests of the United States? To put it bluntly, you've never treated John as an equal, and you've always had inappropriate ideas, which is why things have come to this. I know you're putting pressure on the Middle Eastern tycoons, but have you considered that the more you do this, the more those guys in the Middle East will unite around John? Because your madness has shown him John's integrity, making them more willing to trust John, not you guys!"

That's true, but not everyone can accept it, and not everyone can control their greed when faced with profit. Morgan said this because they had already gained enough profit; they had profited sufficiently from their dealings with John, and no one was competing with them; their share was even larger. "We understand, of course, but now that things have happened, there has to be a result. As long as John stops, we will stop making any more calculations. As for the Asian financial crisis, as long as John doesn't harm American interests, we can pretend it never happened. We won't interfere in his contest with Soros and other oil capitalists!"

"Alright, I can try to talk to John, but everything comes at a price. I want you to cooperate with me, Morgan, to clean up General Motors and get rid of those who don't listen to me. This can't affect our cooperation with John, otherwise I won't be able to speak. You should know the current situation of General Motors. I don't want this pressure to fall on us. Whoever does something wrong must take responsibility!"

Upon hearing Morgan's words, the expressions of Rockefeller and the others changed slightly, especially Kennedy, because Donald had been involved in many underhanded dealings, and now he was also having a bit of a headache facing Morgan's demands.

"What, you can't even do this much? If that's the case, how can I believe your promises and your sincerity? If you don't accept my conditions, I have no reason to do you any favors, nor do I need to care about your lives. Rockefeller, don't worry, at least John won't target you. The old-fashioned friendships still have some effect. But some people are different. Right now, those who have no backing are the ones who are dying, but the spearhead will eventually be pointed at you."

"Morgan, you're trying to take advantage of the situation, after all, your conglomerate holds absolute control of General Motors!"

"Heh, Kennedy, you're not going to talk to me like a politician, are you? If so, then there's nothing to talk about. You should understand that you have to pay the price for your mistakes. The reason I've held back until now is because I care about American interests and I'm worried that things will get out of control. But that doesn't mean I, Morgan, am weak and easily bullied. You don't think that only John dares to be ruthless, and that my knife isn't sharp enough!"

At this moment, Morgan's expression changed, and a terrifying killing intent flashed in his eyes. He wasn't about to back down or show these guys any mercy. These guys were willing to go crazy for profit, causing things to escalate to this point, and he was willing to disregard all rules!
"Morgan, you're exaggerating. We don't have such thoughts!" Rockefeller quickly explained, fearing that Kennedy's impulsiveness might push Morgan to the point of confrontation with them, which would truly make things uncontrollable!

"I'm stating the facts. If none of you follow the rules, don't expect me to either. Even if it comes to a direct confrontation, Morgan won't back down. Now you choose. I don't want to get too entangled in this matter; it won't benefit anyone." With that, Morgan ignored Kennedy. In terms of influence, Morgan never feared anyone, whether it was Kennedy or Rockefeller; he showed no apprehension whatsoever.

“Morgan, it’s not that we’re breaking the rules, we just didn’t react in time. You know that mindsets can’t be changed overnight. Don’t worry, we’ve agreed to this, that’s my guarantee to you! However, I have a question. Is it really true that John’s funds came entirely from Middle Eastern tycoons? I always feel there’s something fishy about that.”

"Heh, I knew you wouldn't agree so easily. You always want to get some information from me. I don't think you haven't noticed, you're just not sure. If you think John's funds come entirely from Middle Eastern tycoons, you wouldn't be standing in front of me. The funds John controls are not as simple as you think. None of his industries are very profitable, but John's copyrights and global online platforms are completely different. The internet is quite profitable these days. As for more, I don't know, but Japanese banks definitely still cooperate with John. They are not as dangerous as they seem. Many of them still have huge sums of money."

Although it sounds a bit crazy, no one can resist the lure of profit. Besides, the Japanese bank might not even know about John's plan, so they wouldn't have too many concerns. After all, John's presence in Asia has been growing, and it's only natural that the Japanese bank would receive a loan request. There's nothing to worry about. Given John's reputation, this is a high-quality loan that represents a compromise. If they refused, then there would be a problem.

So what if you understand? Not everyone can do it. In fact, John's trick was learned from Japanese capital. He used Japanese money to make money, and even to attack them. With John's integrity, even if they wanted to go back on their word, it would be impossible. That would completely destroy the bank's reputation, which would be a fatal blow to the bank. Besides, it's not like they didn't make money, just a little less. So no one cared about it!
"I knew those guys in Japan were up to something. They're always trying to get away with things, trying to fight for their so-called freedom, trying to break free from our control. It's utterly ridiculous. Do they really think we can't see through their schemes? Do they really think we don't know their little tricks? They're divided into two, or even three factions: one that follows our orders, one that stands with John, and another that remains neutral to stabilize the situation and prevent things from spiraling out of control!"

"So what if you see through it all? Do you dare to make a move? Do you think John hasn't seen through it all? He sees it even more clearly, but his methods are more sophisticated than yours. He can extract huge profits from Japan. Just look at the businesses John has established in Japan now. Even in such a harsh environment, the impact is minimal!"
