America: My Time

Chapter 1396 Worry
Chapter 1386 Worries

Human greed knows no bounds; everyone has their own selfish desires and calculations, especially under the current circumstances. These guys are all eyeing the wealth and profits in John's hands, wanting to gain the greatest benefit for themselves. They don't care about anything else, and they even know in their hearts that John won't let them succeed easily and that they will have to pay the corresponding price, but they all cling to a sliver of hope.

If Japan can succeed, why can't they? Moreover, they have many backup plans, and some even believe they have seen through John's plan and that things are still under control. After all, John's performance in Japan makes them feel that there is still a chance, because John is so loyal!
Many people thought that John would definitely focus on the Asian financial crisis and go to Hong Kong. As long as John went to Hong Kong, they would still have a chance. Unfortunately, they were overthinking it. After those guys in Japan agreed, John began to prepare to leave. As for that greedy family, John didn't care about them at all. Most importantly, John's goal was not the Asian financial crisis, nor Hong Kong, but to go directly to Beijing, China.

Everyone thought John would either go to Hong Kong to focus on the Asian financial crisis, or continue to use external forces to force those guys in the US to accept his conditions, or even force the Europeans to compromise. Unfortunately, they were overthinking it. John had no such intentions. Having Japan was enough for him. John didn't want to give any other people 'benefits'!
"What? You mean John didn't go to Hong Kong, Taiwan, or South Korea, but went to Beijing, China?" When this news came out, everyone was shocked. This was different from their guesses. It was beyond their imagination. Now they had no idea what John was planning to do.

"Yes, John didn't go to Hong Kong, Taiwan, or South Korea; he went to China. All our arrangements have been rendered useless. What should we do now? John hasn't even joined the game. All our previous preparations have been in vain!" Faced with this situation, the oil capitalists who cooperated with Soros all wore grim faces. This situation had a huge impact on them!

"That's impossible. Unless he's gone mad, how could he give up all of this? This is a huge profit. How could he dare to just let it go? What is he thinking? Does the US know John's whereabouts? What have they said?" Soros was also somewhat shaken and couldn't help but think about those guys in the US!

"The Americans know too, but they don't know what John is up to either. Right now, nobody knows what John is thinking. Everything is beyond our control. We're already at a crossroads, and if John doesn't make his move and get involved, we won't be able to hold out for long!"

"Damn it, those guys in Japan deceived us. They must have betrayed us to John, otherwise we wouldn't be in this predicament. Those bastards betrayed us!" At this moment, Soros did not think it was his own mistake or his incompetence, but instead pushed all the blame onto his 'collaborators' in Japan, believing that they had betrayed him.

"Regardless of whether it's the problem with those guys in Japan or their betrayal, we need to react quickly. We can't keep delaying like this in the current situation, as it would put us under tremendous pressure, and even the slightest mistake could plunge us into crisis."

"Fine, we have no choice in this situation. Let's tell them to make their move. We can't figure out how to scheme against that bastard John, we can't get him involved, so let's just make our move and harvest those guys first!" At this point, Soros had no choice. John's reaction was completely beyond his expectations, and everything forced him to take action. He didn't have as many preparations as John, and if he didn't make a move, those international speculative funds wouldn't be able to hold out.

Everyone is here for profit. If Soros can't guide them to gain profit, they will turn against him and betray him. In that case, Soros himself will also suffer, and he cannot bear such consequences.

While Soros and the other guys in the US were still shocked by John's reaction, the plane had already landed in Beijing. Even if these guys wanted to contact John, it wouldn't be something they could do in a short time. Moreover, they were more interested in figuring out what John wanted to do and why he made such an arrangement at this time.

Many people thought John would definitely get involved in the Asian financial crisis, profit from it, and personally oversee things in Hong Kong. But they were overthinking it; John had no such intentions. What John wants to do now is, naturally, asset consolidation. And this time, John's plan is far from simple: a further expansion into rare earth processing.

Those guys from Ermao wanted to lure John, or rather, they wanted Quantum Mining to increase its investment in them. After all, both Europeans and Americans were transferring this kind of production. John also had the same idea, but John was different from them. John did not have European or American technology, but rather the technology from the old Russians.

Although John didn't officially acquire the special steel plant from the Soviet Union, he actually obtained a vast amount of technology from the Soviet Union after the collapse of the Soviet Union. John, on the other hand, possessed a wealth of technology. After all, during that period, the Soviet Union was frantically selling anything that could be sold. Their attempt to lure John into the game by offering the mines and getting Quantum Mining to increase its investment in them was simply wishful thinking.

Although John also wanted to acquire all of Er Mao's mines, he didn't currently have the strength to fully digest them. Moreover, while Er Mao's mines were decent, they were insignificant compared to John's extensive network in Africa, Australia, and the Americas.

This time, John wants to discuss cooperation with China in the rare earth sector. John has already made preparations in the Americas, with factory construction underway in Mexico, where its main base is located, and there are also facilities in Africa. All of this involves asset integration, and everything is moving towards the integration of the entire industrial chain.

The West has always imposed a technology blockade on China. They naturally don't want to give China this kind of technology, even if they are transferring manufacturing, they are unwilling to cooperate with China. But John doesn't have this concern. Moreover, the technology doesn't belong to the West, but to Russia. Most importantly, John has absorbed and digested the experts from Russia and has now formed his own force, making up for many of his own shortcomings.

When John's plane landed in Beijing, the situation in the United States became even more tense. Morgan was also under considerable pressure, as this situation was unexpected, and they were all worried about John's itinerary. "Jimmy, any news? What is John trying to do?" Morgan looked worried, because Rockefeller and his cronies were putting increasing pressure on him, especially now that this problem had arisen. They all wanted Morgan to personally negotiate with John again!

"We don't know. We haven't received any information at all. We don't know what John is trying to do, and we don't understand why he's completely unconcerned about the Asian financial crisis or reacted to the schemes of Soros and his ilk. This is completely different from what we imagined. It's all too bizarre."

"What are Soros and his cronies' reactions now? The current situation is not favorable for them. If they continue to wait, they might start to panic. Those international speculative funds are following them to make profits, and they won't wait like this forever. Once these guys have a change of heart and make a change, their favorable situation will collapse directly. I don't believe they don't know what they're up to now?"

"Soros and his ilk didn't react too much. They've already started making moves. There's been another incident in Southeast Asia, and Russia has also started making moves. These guys want to drag John into the mess, but it's impossible for them to sabotage John's deal with Russia. Their scheme has failed, and now they have no choice but to take the initiative."

"What's the situation with the Europeans? Have they made any moves? And based on your understanding of John, what is he planning to do now? Hasn't his arrangements in China been completed? Why would he want to go back?"

Upon hearing this, Jimmy smiled wryly and said, "Boss, John's plans in China are not yet complete. His assets and operations in China far exceed our expectations. His return to China is indeed beyond our imagination, but he has good reasons. Moreover, John's group companies are currently undergoing integration, and perhaps it is all related to this matter."

"This guy is crazy. All his assets and conglomerates are being reorganized, and we still don't know what he's going to do in China. I just don't understand why he's leaving behind such huge profits from Japan, South Korea, and the Asian financial crisis to go to China. Does he really think so highly of China's development? Even if everyone knows that China has huge potential, there's no need to make such an arrangement at this time."

Even Morgan couldn't see through John's calculations. He couldn't have imagined how powerful China would become and how fast it would develop. After all, China's economy wasn't doing well at the moment, and even Morgan couldn't be entirely optimistic about China's future.

"If that doesn't work, I can go to China and have a good talk with John. Maybe that will help me understand his plans!" Although he was reluctant to go to China to see John, Jimmy still took the initiative to ask, since it wouldn't be good for him to ask his boss, and it wouldn't be good for him either.

Morgan shook his head and said, "No need. There's absolutely no need for that under the current circumstances. Besides, it wouldn't do you any good. Do you think John will tell you his plans? Do you think he'll completely trust you? In the current situation, John won't trust you. He'll only trust himself. We should just wait and see. As for those Rockefeller guys, we'll ignore them and just focus on doing our own thing!"

Upon hearing this, Jimmy had a sudden inspiration and said, "Boss, do you think John's actions might be related to the Er Mao family? Before this, John received an invitation from the Er Mao family. Er Mao's prospective owner even wanted to sell most of his mines to John's Quantum Mining in exchange for John's further investment in Er Mao?"

"It's not impossible, but the profits are far from comparable to those from the Asian financial crisis, let alone the profits of internet companies. If he actually did that, it would be incredibly foolish. Do you think he would be that stupid?"

Jimmy smiled wryly, "Under normal circumstances, he really wouldn't do that!"

Jimmy also said that was under normal circumstances, but this is not the case now. John wants not only profits, but also long-term development and long-term planning, not just short-term gains. John wants long-term benefits and planning. If he misses this opportunity, it will be unrealistic for him to complete his layout in rare earths and become self-sufficient!
John's strategy in Japan was to perfect his shipping business. Now, John wants to perfect his strategy in the steel and semiconductor chip industries. He doesn't want to get into trouble in this area. Moreover, with Er Mao's technology in hand and so many years of planning, John has mastered these technologies and naturally wants to convert them into profits.

The sooner you plan ahead, the less you'll have to pay, especially now that those guys haven't even noticed. John naturally wants to catch them off guard and complete his plan to avoid being outmaneuvered or having his plans ruined by them, since none of them are good people.

John didn't want anyone to ruin his plans or damage his interests, so naturally, he needed to act early and make preparations in advance to prevent any unexpected events from putting him in a difficult situation or even causing loopholes in his entire plan, which could lead to future dangers. The more John knew about the future, the less he dared to be careless or negligent. If something went wrong, the consequences would be severe. After all, he now controlled semiconductor chips, military equipment, and a host of other high-tech industries. If he didn't prepare in advance, the consequences would be unimaginable. Therefore, acting early and making arrangements before anyone noticed was the best course of action, completing all these arrangements before anyone else did, so as not to give the enemy any opportunity to plot against him!
