America: My Time

Chapter 1363 The Mad Morgan

Chapter 1353 The Mad Morgan
John has long since transformed into a competent capitalist, but he is more cautious and careful than these old guys in the American conglomerates. He has always been discreet and has maintained a good image, not giving anyone the opportunity to scheme against him. Even if the Japanese have designs on him, they can only make arrangements for women, which doesn't have much impact on John.

In the United States, everyone knows John is a playboy, but they can accept this because he's incredibly generous with his charity work, always giving real money, unlike others who simply engage in deception. While John's charity work may have its own motives, the money genuinely reaches out and helps many people, and that cannot be denied!
Although a few minor issues arose during the wedding, they had little impact, and everything ultimately went smoothly. The couple wasn't particularly tired, but John was utterly exhausted, both physically and mentally. It was all because many people had come specifically for him; he had been hiding in Asia, and now these guys saw an opportunity and weren't going to let it slip by, leading to this situation and John's exhaustion!
Of course, everything has two sides. This wedding shows how influential John is, especially in the United States. John's influence is astonishing. At least Morgan and Rockefeller were shocked. Who would have thought that in just over a decade, John would have developed to this extent, with connections and influence comparable to theirs?

However, John is different from them. He wields considerable influence at all levels, unlike them. Even among the elites, John's influence is significant, and many are quite pleased with the conflicts and struggles between John and the oil giant, given that many in the United States harbor resentment towards the oil giant!

No one likes greedy people. Although they have been trying to cover it up, the power of the media is not yet under their control. John is the biggest media mogul in the United States and even the world. Over the past ten years, many Americans have been influenced by John and are dissatisfied with the oil capital and feel threatened by their greed.

Whenever the opportunity arises, John's media forces will target Soros and those oil tycoons on Wall Street, exposing their greed one by one. Whenever oil tycoons target John, whenever anyone targets John, this situation will occur. Over the past ten years, this influence has naturally penetrated people's hearts, especially after the investigation by "interested individuals". Everything is as John said, and such changes naturally occurred.

Now, with the Asian financial crisis unfolding and Soros's frenzied attacks on Asia, it only further confirms this, making people deeply aware of the inherent greed of oil capital. John's words are now remembered: Soros is a financial assassin, only capable of plunder, incapable of creating wealth; his core is simply the greed of the oil people.

Some people want to oppose John and target him, but upon closer examination, John has created a great deal of wealth and numerous jobs for the American people over the past ten years. The contrast between the two is striking. Everything is subject to comparison. Compared to oil and gas capital, John is nothing but a pushover!
“John, are you sure you want to do this? You know Oregon is already being targeted by many people. Doing this again won't be good for us. I personally don't care, but it will give our enemies an opportunity to target us!” Calvin's expression turned serious when he heard John's suggestion. According to John's plan, Oregon is already being watched by many people, and if this continues, the impact will be huge!

"Yes, we have to do it. I know those environmental groups will definitely target us, but for our own benefit, it's necessary. Look at California, wildfires happen every year, and Oregon is no exception. If we want to develop Oregon, we need to do a good job in this aspect of prevention. We can't give up just because those environmental groups are clamoring. Moreover, we need to take fire protection back into our own hands and not let those fire protection companies control it, otherwise it will leave a lot of hidden dangers for our development. Now we can drastically transform Oregon, but the next administration won't have this advantage."

John was naturally worried about the potential damage from the California wildfires and needed to take all necessary precautions to prevent a similar situation from occurring in Oregon. After all, Oregon was his territory, and such a danger could not be allowed to exist.

“Alright, if you’ve decided, then let’s arrange it this way. It doesn’t make a difference now. We’re already being targeted by a lot of people, but thankfully they can’t do anything about it!” Calvin said, a mocking look on his face. The Donald has been targeting California, and many states have even been criticizing Oregon. Unfortunately, they’re completely powerless; state autonomy leaves those guys utterly helpless.

Although the situation in Oregon is a bit too harsh, the overall environment has improved under this harshness. At least the security situation has changed significantly, making those restless guys dare not jump out anymore, let alone claim that they are the masters of the night. Those who were jumping around have been eliminated one by one.

The changes in Oregon are acceptable and welcomed by the people of Oregon themselves, but it's a different story for others, especially the lazy and homeless. This place is hell for them; there's simply no environment for them to survive. It's impossible for them to remain homeless in Oregon; they'll face severe consequences. After three warnings, they'll be sent to forced labor or forced to leave Oregon altogether, and there's no free food distribution.

With these destabilizing factors removed, Oregon's security situation naturally improved, and it's now moving towards becoming one of the safest states in the US. At this point, John's new development plans naturally put Calvin under pressure!

"The situation in Oregon is not a problem; I will make the arrangements. However, we must be cautious and not rush things. At the very least, we need to be fully prepared so as not to give those guys any reason to criticize us. Moreover, we control most of Oregon's land, so it is permissible to make changes on our own territory. As for those state-owned lands, we can find another reason to push forward!"

Over the past decade or so, through various means, John has acquired a large amount of land in Oregon. One investment company after another has acquired those lands. This is the reason why John dares to take action. He has made comprehensive preparations, leaving environmental organizations with little chance to target him!
"That's good. My business here isn't finished yet, and the relocation of General Motors won't go too smoothly either. Don't be fooled by Rockefeller and Morgan's quick agreement and confidence; things aren't as simple as they think. This is no longer their era. They're still basking in their past glory, but times have changed!" Yes, times have changed, but Rockefeller and Morgan still haven't taken it seriously. Perhaps it's not that they don't care, but that they're too greedy. They're both making other calculations. After all, John's previous words have made these guys even more tempted.

When faced with the temptation of John's plan to list his numerous internet companies for financing, these guys naturally forgot about General Motors. In their minds, no one dared to stand against the Big Ten conglomerates, after all, this deal concerned the interests of all of them.

Unfortunately, things didn't go as they expected. Not long after the wedding, a few days later, unexpected news broke: General Motors was in trouble. Workers had vandalized a General Motors production plant, and a storm was brewing in Detroit, with many people beginning to oppose the move!
"Damn it, these guys are asking for it! They're making an enemy of us! They know we've already made a decision, yet they still dare to pull these tricks. Do they really think we don't know what's going on behind the scenes? How could a lowly worker do something like this? Without the help of others, without anyone pushing things from the shadows?" Morgan was furious. This incident completely ruined his original plan to make a deal with John. John couldn't accept General Motors like this, especially since they had just reached an agreement a few days ago!

“Boss, there’s no use talking about this now. The chaos has already begun. Those guys have really started. From what we understand, there are indeed people pushing this behind the scenes. Part of it is from Detroit, and there are also people from Mossad. We’ve already found out that a guy was in Detroit and even had contact with that worker.”

"Are these bastards crazy? Do they really think we're easy to talk to, or do they think they can pull off a flawless operation? It seems John was right; these guys won't let an opportunity slip by." At this moment, Morgan thought of John's words, but unfortunately, it was too late to say anything now; the deed was done!

"Even if we listen to John, it's no use. This guy showed up a month ago!"

"It seems these guys planned this all along, a month ago. They knew about our deal with John and made preparations in advance, or rather, they saw through John's plan and knew he would relocate the factory, or even sooner. But this time they will pay the price. The White House should give us an explanation. This matter is not over. They must bear the losses we have suffered!"

“Boss, even if these guys take the blame for our losses, it won’t help. The deal has been affected, and it might even be canceled. That’s the biggest problem. If we can’t convince John, the deal will be suspended. John wants a stable General Motors, but things have become chaotic there!” Jimmy sighed. The situation in Detroit was even worse than he had described. The United Auto Workers had already taken action.

"No, the deal can't be affected. We need to act decisively. Since these guys want to cause trouble, let the storm rage even more fiercely. Let our people take action and blow up that factory over there. I want to know how they'll cause trouble if something like this happens over there, and how they'll explain themselves to the American people!"

"Hiss!" When Jimmy heard his boss's words, he couldn't help but gasp. This was too crazy. How much damage would this cause? Even if the factory was blown up, even if it was just a small part, Morgan's losses would be significant.

"Boss, isn't this too crazy? This will cause us even greater losses, and it will even have a greater impact on the next deal. John will have no chance of taking over a General Motors company like this!"

"No, our losses aren't that great. Those guys will bear the consequences. We have evidence against them. As for John, that's even easier to deal with. With such a huge problem in Detroit, it's easier for us to divide up those assets. We can temporarily shut down the damaged production lines and dismantle them under the guise of maintenance. Once the explosion happens, their energy will be focused on dealing with that issue, and they won't notice our actions. By the time they realize what's happening, it will be too late." As he said this, a cold smile appeared in Morgan's eyes. This wasn't just about Mossad; there were many more people behind it. Morgan even suspected that Rockefeller and other financial groups might be involved.

Unfortunately, he couldn't say these words aloud. No matter how loyal Jimmy was, he couldn't tell him such things; he had to keep them all to himself. Since things had already happened, Morgan had made up his mind. A person who isn't ruthless can't stand firm, especially at this time. If he were even slightly careless, he would pay a much higher price. The more critical the moment, the more decisive he needed to be, to cut the Gordian knot and get everything done as quickly as possible!
As long as I act quickly and decisively, there won't be any problems. Even if there are big problems, everything can be suppressed and controlled. As long as it's completed before those guys can react, it won't be a big deal and won't affect my deal with John or their relationship!
