Chapter 1356 Morgan's Actions
"John, the deal can proceed, everything is settled!" When Morgan approached John again, his eyes shone with boundless confidence. In such a short time, they had already settled everything. Although there was a slight loss, it was nothing to them. Moreover, compared to General Motors, Morgan was more interested in Dreamworld, Nvidia, and John's internet companies.

"Some people are worried I might use this as an excuse to back out, otherwise you wouldn't be in such a hurry to discuss this with me. They're just being petty and suspicious. I don't have such thoughts. As long as everything is fine, I won't have any problems either. It's just that General Motors' value has plummeted; it's not as valuable as it used to be." John directly pointed out the current situation of General Motors. This massive explosion had directly caused a significant drop in GM's stock price.

“We know you won’t suffer any losses. Those guys have already paid the price, and they will soon transfer the compensation to General Motors’ account. Don’t worry, no one will touch this money, and everything will remain. So we hope to proceed with the transaction as previously agreed, and everyone can contribute funds to make up for any shortfall!”

“You’re making things difficult for me. Our agreement wasn’t like this!” John’s face showed a faint bitter smile. This was indeed different from their agreement. Initially, their transaction was completed with corresponding assets. Now that General Motors had run into trouble, things had changed. How could John not have some 'thoughts' about this?
Upon hearing this, Morgan shook his head and sighed, "There's nothing we can do about it. After all, it all happened so suddenly that we simply couldn't coordinate enough assets in such a short time. The value of Dreamworld and Nvidia has increased significantly, which puts a lot of pressure on everyone."

At this moment, the Morgan tycoon did not hide anything and went straight to the point about their current difficulties. Although it was only a difficult time, the value of Dreamworld and Nvidia was constantly rising, which put considerable pressure on them. But the more difficult it was, the less they would give up!

John pondered for a moment, then nodded and said, "Alright, for your sake, I agree to this. The deal can begin, but there can't be any more problems within General Motors. There can't be any more problems before the entire relocation of General Motors is completed, otherwise there won't be a second phase of the deal."

"Sure, since you're willing to make such concessions, we naturally won't have any inappropriate thoughts. We can't let you bear this pressure. Don't worry, everything will be fine, and we're already transferring production lines from General Motors."

"Oh! This is really unexpected. Did those guys have nothing to do? They just let you guys move the production line like that. This is not how they should behave!" John was somewhat shocked. Based on his understanding of American workers and the United Auto Workers, even if they had been caught red-handed, they would not have let Morgan and his men do this!
"Of course, they're using maintenance as an excuse. This explosion has affected the entire production line!"

“Alright, you guys are impressive. As long as the production line is moved to Oregon, the transaction can begin, and I won’t have any problems. However, you also need to quickly transfer the assets you promised me earlier. I don’t have time to deal with those people anymore. If they continue to pester me like this, our transaction will have to be changed!”

John didn't want to continue talking to some guys who were still nitpicking about previous agreements. These guys really thought they could threaten him with something like that; they were overthinking it.

“John, you don’t need to pay attention to them. Those guys are doing this because someone is instigating them. You should know who those guys are. Don’t worry, they will compromise soon. They can’t hold out for long. If you give up on the deal with them, those guys will be dumbfounded. Besides, they don’t hold many shares!”

“I know, but I don’t want to talk to them or compromise. Those guys are too arrogant. I want to teach them a lesson. What do you think about me giving up the deal?”

When John said this, Morgan's expression changed drastically. This was not a good sign. Was John targeting those guys or warning everyone? After all, there were quite a few people with ulterior motives, and those guys were all having inappropriate ideas!
“John, it’s up to you to decide. I can’t say anything about this, since it’s your own plan!” Morgan didn’t offer any advice at this point. He didn’t dare to gamble. If he said something wrong, it would affect his relationship with John. Besides, it was difficult to answer such a ‘test’.

"Then let's give up. I was initially considering your feelings, but since you've said so, I don't want to continue with them. A few shares are nothing, and since they don't want to give up, I'll give up too. Originally, I just didn't want to waste time and energy, but they think they can control me. They're overthinking it!" "Sure enough, John is intentionally giving up those deals. These guys have gone too far. Now John doesn't want to continue with them. It seems John was prepared. These guys thought John had a greater need for media and wanted to control him. Now it seems they've shot themselves in the foot!" Hearing this, Morgan felt uneasy. After all, John's decision would cause many problems.

"John, do you want to give up the entire media deal, or just a part of it?" At this point, even the Morgan tycoon had to take it seriously. If it was the entire media deal, the impact would be significant, even affecting Morgan itself, since Morgan also had such asset transactions. Moreover, John's abandonment would cause the market value of those media and entertainment companies to plummet.

“What I want is a complete acquisition, but now someone is trying to block me, so naturally I have to give up completely. As long as someone insists on causing trouble, I can only cut the Gordian knot and give up directly. I don’t want to be held back by them, and I don’t have that much energy to continue to entangle with them. It’s better to give up. After all, I don’t lack such assets now. I can even let go of the former United International Society. If they need it, I can even sell the shares I hold.”

When Morgan heard that John intended to relinquish United Press International, he was greatly shocked. United Press International had fully shifted its focus to economics and was doing very well, all thanks to John. Now that John wanted to let go, the impact would be enormous. Most importantly, such a relinquishment meant that trust in them had been jeopardized!
“John, don’t rush to make a decision about the United Press International matter. I will talk to those guys myself. This deal was guaranteed by Rockefeller and the others. Since there are problems, we will naturally step up and resolve them for you. We can’t let these guys act recklessly. If they insist on standing against us, then don’t blame us for taking action against them. Do they really think we’re easy to reason with?” At this moment, Morgan’s murderous intent rose again. Behind these guys were the shadows of oil capital, the shadows of the Israelis, and even the shadows of Europeans. In short, as long as those guys offered benefits, these guys would accept them completely!
"It's alright, if they want it, then give it to them. At worst, I can spare some resources from NBC, and some people from Hurricane Investment and hardware companies. It's not difficult to reorganize an economic media and platform like 'United Press International'."

The more John said this, the more uneasy Morgan felt. There must be something behind this that he didn't know about, otherwise John wouldn't have said this. Could it be that people from their financial groups were pulling the strings behind the scenes? If so, it would explain John's current attitude, and if that were the case, the consequences would be serious!
"John, don't worry, I will give you an explanation soon. This is not just your business, but ours. We all agreed to the original agreement. Now someone wants to go back on their word and cause trouble. They will have to bear the consequences. The General Motors incident will absolutely not happen again. I can guarantee that. Anyone who dares to cause trouble again is our enemy and will pay the price for their actions."

Seeing Morgan's insistence, John sighed inwardly. He wanted to use this as an excuse to make an example of them and let those guys know his determination, but since Morgan had spoken, he couldn't refuse. After all, this was no small matter, and he had to consider Morgan's thoughts and feelings.

"Alright, I'll wait a little longer. But I don't have much time to waste on such trivial matters. The situation in Asia could erupt at any moment, and I need to keep an eye on things there. So we need to expedite this deal. If any more problems arise, the deal will be pointless!"

John's words, though spoken calmly, struck Morgan like a thunderbolt. It was clear John was extremely dissatisfied with them, and if things went wrong, the consequences would be severe. Thinking this, Morgan decided not to continue the conversation with John. Although he had initially harbored a sliver of hope for cooperation, that was no longer an option. The most important thing now was to quickly resolve everything and not let those guys' foolishness ruin everyone's plans!
Watching Morgan's departing figure, John shook his head slightly. It was difficult for him to take action himself, but if Morgan did, everything would become much easier, and those guys would pay a heavy price. No one could outmaneuver him without paying a price. If they wanted to take advantage of him, they were just dreaming!

"Boss, John's attitude is a bit off. It seems it's not just a problem with General Motors, but also with the previous agreement. Those people are deliberately making things difficult at this time, which is not a good thing. If it really causes a big problem, or if John gives up directly, the impact will be too great. If John can give up this deal, can he give up the next one in the same way? We have to be careful and make sure there's no big mess!" Ji Liao also felt uneasy. After all, John was too crazy. If they really angered him, the consequences would be uncontrollable!
“I know, it’s normal that something’s not right. If he doesn’t show any expression and continues to ignore everything, we need to be even more careful. John is not someone to be trifled with. Do those guys really think that John’s continued concealment is a sign of weakened strength?” At this moment, Morgan was very uneasy, worried that more unexpected things might happen!
“But under these circumstances, we have no way to intervene. After all, the shares are in their hands, and it would be too abnormal for these guys to dare to do such a thing without anyone supporting them. Their actions have put us in a dilemma when facing John!”

"We're now in a dilemma. Didn't you notice the change in John's tone? If this isn't handled properly, our cooperation with John might come to an end. We were the ones who spearheaded the initial agreement, and now that problems have arisen, we have to take responsibility. If we try to shirk even this small responsibility, do you think John will continue to cooperate with us? This is no small matter; it concerns our reputation, so we must take it seriously. You need to act immediately. There's no need to contact Rockefeller and the others. This time, we'll take direct action. If those guys obey, fine; if not, we'll teach them a lesson and show them that the United States won't tolerate their arrogance!"

At this point, Morgan's voice turned somber. He wasn't just trying to sow discord between John and them; he was trying to sow discord between them. Morgan's reputation couldn't be ruined by these fools, and they would have to pay the price for their stupidity.

“Okay, I’ll get people moving right away. We absolutely won’t let them affect Morgan’s reputation!” Jimmy responded immediately. He was well aware of the importance of this matter. Once it’s linked to Morgan’s reputation, it’s no small thing. If Morgan loses its reputation, it will be difficult for them to stand firm in the financial world. Especially since they can’t even maintain a big client like John, if word gets out, who will want to work with Morgan in the future?
