Chapter 1507 Reactions from All Sides

"If I don't put some pressure on these guys, they won't know when to back down. Even at this point, they still dare to try to fool me. This time, I'm going to teach them a lesson they won't forget!" After the plane landed at the airport in Taiwan, John sneered at the Japanese guys. With their strength, it was impossible for them not to know his whereabouts. However, they didn't react immediately. Perhaps they still held a sliver of hope in their hearts.

"Let's go, let's go see those guys in Taiwan. They have their own ideas, so I'll give them my help!" John said calmly when he saw the troubled look on Zhang Yuyan's face. Although John wasn't in Taiwan, he was well aware of what was happening there. With the end of the Asian financial crisis, the ambitions of these guys in Taiwan had changed, especially after the losses suffered by Japan and South Korea, which had made them somewhat frantic.

What Taiwan wants to do is naturally to vigorously develop electronics and semiconductors. In this field, John is a giant. Even though John sold Dreamworld and Nvidia, he is still a giant in this industry. They are all very clear about how amazing John's layout in Taiwan is, and they also understand how terrifying the potential of these companies is!
John didn't even go back to his home in Taiwan, but instead went directly to meet with the people there and accept their welcome dinner. This shocked many people, as it was a situation they didn't want to see, but no one could stop it.

When John entered the hotel arranged by those people from Taiwan, people in the United States, Japan, and even South Korea all knew about John's situation. This change made them very uneasy, and they all immediately took action to discuss countermeasures!

“Morgan, now is not the time to throw a tantrum. We need your help, and it will also benefit you. You should know that John’s change is very abnormal, and it’s not just a threat to us!” Rockefeller stared at Morgan, trying to persuade him to prioritize the bigger picture, since everything had happened so suddenly!
"What can I do? You don't think I can solve the problem by stepping in. Do you think John is a fool, or do you think he will compromise again and again? If you hadn't been so greedy and insisted on pushing things to the extreme, none of this would have happened. If you had left yourselves even a little room to maneuver, this wouldn't have occurred. Besides, I don't think you're unaware of the situation in Japan. You've done these underhanded things time and time again. How am I supposed to explain this to John?" Morgan was furious at this moment. He had tried to persuade these guys, but they were all self-righteous, thinking they had everything under control. But things weren't under their control at all. Although they had gotten everything they wanted, their influence in the industry was far less than John's, not to mention that everyone now knew about John's backup plan!

“Mr. Morgan, now is not the time to assign blame. This concerns the interests of the United States. Please step forward and talk to Mr. John. At the very least, we must prevent Mr. John from launching a counterattack, otherwise it will be a disaster for the US semiconductor chip industry and even the electronics industry. If possible, we can abandon Japan and South Korea and let them bear all the consequences!”

Good heavens, zipperton is indeed cunning. He actually wanted to sacrifice Japan and South Korea to get John's forgiveness and keep the American semiconductor chip company unaffected. But he was overthinking it. Even if Morgan intervened, it wouldn't be of much use. After all, John had already seen through all their schemes and wouldn't give them any more time or opportunities!
"I have no choice. It's not that I don't want to contribute to the US semiconductor chip industry, but that I can't do anything. You should know how angry John is right now. I've warned you more than once not to play with fire, not to target the women around John. That will only provoke him and cross his bottom line, but you just won't listen. Now, let alone making the Japanese and Koreans take responsibility, even if you apologize, it won't do any good. Those guys will have to pay the price. Don't try to cover for them. John knows everything. Jaguar Security Company is not just for show. This is my thinking and my attitude. You need to make a decision quickly, otherwise it will be too late when John retaliates!"

Morgan didn't want to get involved in all of this, didn't want to take the blame for these guys, and even less did he want to create further conflict with John because of this. After all, the goodwill between him and John had been almost exhausted, and he didn't want to bear this pressure at this time. Moreover, he wasn't the only one who could persuade John; John's parents and others were also involved. These guys couldn't keep making him sacrifice himself.

“Mr. Morgan, we know and understand what you’re saying. Don’t worry, we will definitely give Mr. John a satisfactory explanation. However, we can’t afford to make a mess of things right now, so we need a little time. As long as we have time to prepare, everything will be fine!” The guy from the White House stepped forward to express his opinion, but his statement was not convincing at all to Morgan!

Morgan shook his head and said, “Don’t try to play these tricks on me. It’s useless. Time is important for everyone. Now that you know everything, you should take action. If you had been more decisive, things wouldn’t be like this now. You don’t want to offend anyone and want to give them time and opportunity, but have you considered the consequences? You don’t care about John’s anger, but I don’t. I don’t want my own interests to be harmed. I don’t believe you don’t know what John said to those guys in Japan: sincerity. You need to show sincerity!”

What sincerity! Morgan's words immediately made everyone in the White House sigh, as did the military. Even old guys like Rockefeller felt a slight worry. After all, it all happened too suddenly and too crazy. They hadn't expected John to react like this.

Did they really have enough time to prepare? No, they didn't have any time at all. At this point, they should have made a decision quickly and made arrangements before John and those guys in Taiwan reached an agreement. Unfortunately, these guys still harbored a sliver of hope, which Morgan despised! At a time like this, these guys were still clinging to illusions; they were simply too arrogant and self-righteous!

“Morgan, do you think we don’t want to give John an explanation quickly? It’s just that we can’t do it right now. We need to consider the situation in the Middle East and make more preparations. We can’t let this incident cause any unexpected events in the Middle East, do you understand? We are also under pressure and need to consider and prepare from multiple perspectives!” Good heavens, Rockefeller actually brought up the situation in the Middle East. These words should not have come from his mouth, but from the White House and the military. This made Morgan quite annoyed.

"Heh, don't treat me like a fool. You reap what you sow. You want John to accept your arrangements without paying any price? Are you kidding me? I know what those guys in Taiwan are doing. I don't believe you're unaware. If you really want to solve the problem, you should communicate directly with them, even give them orders, and tell them to stop having those ridiculous illusions. If you can persuade them, everything will be fine!" Stunned, everyone was surprised that Morgan would say something like that, hitting the nail on the head. Taiwan was indeed a good option. If they could use the White House's influence to directly coerce those guys in Taiwan, perhaps things would change. However, doing so also had its risks; one wrong move and they could get themselves into trouble!

"So what kind of compromise do you think we need to make, and what kind of sincerity do we need to show?" Seeing that the situation was getting a bit bad, Zipperton directly asked Morgan, not wanting to cause any more trouble and wanting to cut the Gordian knot.

“Someone has to pay the price for everything that happened before. I believe you all understand what I mean, so this is necessary. You also need to give John an explanation and show him your sincerity. If you don’t even have this much sincerity, then no amount of preparation will help!”

Faced with Morgan's lack of cooperation, the old guys present were helpless. Unless they didn't want to solve the problem, they had to make preparations and arrangements, but all of this would take time.

"Morgan, I need a thorough assessment. Otherwise, you know that no matter how capable I am, I'm completely helpless in this situation. That's the difference!"

“Alright, we agree. Those guys will give Mr. John a satisfactory explanation. Someone has to make sacrifices, and they can do it. I have no problem with that!” The military guys had no choice but to compromise, after all, they were also involved in this matter, and if things escalated, they would also be affected!

The US got results quickly, but it wasn't so easy in Japan. After all, these guys were more greedy and unwilling to make sacrifices easily, especially since it involved their interests. Naturally, they couldn't complete their communication in the shortest time. The more they dragged their feet, the more time and opportunity John got!
“Mr. John, we need your help. We know that your focus will be on Asia next, and we want to cooperate with you. We will do everything we can to meet your needs, whether it's semiconductor chips, chemicals, or energy. We will cooperate with you and will not let you down!”

“This isn’t something that can be done with just a few words. And are you sure you can do it? You should know what the problems are hindering the development of businesses in Taiwan, and you should also understand what has been affecting the development of businesses.” John smiled calmly and stared at the other party. Don’t be fooled by how well this guy talks; John didn’t believe they could do everything!
"We understand. Rest assured, there will be no further obstruction from the authorities. Everything will be allowed to proceed. As for energy and electricity, we will do everything in our power to meet your needs, including building our own power plants. For gas supply, we will prioritize cooperation with Asian energy companies."

Why did these guys in Taiwan dare to make arrangements when John left Japan? Because they understood the reasons that had been restricting John's development in Taiwan, and they also understood John's thoughts about Taiwan. The fact that energy and electricity had always been controlled by others made John uneasy, and it was the reason that John could not accept it, even if it was controlled by the Taiwanese government!

"Alright, since you've put it this way, then I have no problem with that either. I'll arrange for people to discuss everything—chemicals, electricity, energy—and also Taiwan's large aircraft. I hope you can lean towards Gulfstream Aerospace. As long as you can meet my requirements, nothing else will be a problem."

John's answer delighted the Taiwanese officials. They hadn't expected him to make a promise so quickly. They knew that the Americans were usually aloof and demanding, and even if they compromised, the Americans would make more demands. So they were prepared for John to ask for an exorbitant amount, but nothing happened. How could this not shock them?

“I know your difficulties and I understand your concerns. I don’t need you to get involved in my struggle with others. The semiconductor chip war hasn’t really started yet, and even if it does, it won’t affect the development here. I can promise you that!” John was very clear about the concerns of these Taiwanese guys. After all, ASUS has been suppressed by the United States in the personal computer field. Although things have improved a little now, they are still uneasy!

Despite John's new arrangements and plans, they don't believe the retail market will continue to expand so wildly. After all, the people in the US aren't just for show; they will definitely compete for this market share. What they need more are car navigation chips and commitments in this area.

John had no intention of providing car navigation chips to those guys in Taiwan; he needed to handle that in China. His plans for Taiwan involved expanding and developing CPUs, memory chips, and GPUs. Of course, this was because China would face scrutiny from those old guys in the US. If John dared to recklessly put everything in China, it would give them an excuse to target him, which was something John didn't want. Even if a relocation was necessary, it would take time and more preparation, not now!
