America: My Time

Chapter 1545 Calculation
Chapter 1535 Schemes

In other areas, South Korea also has to be afraid and worried, especially in shipbuilding, automobiles, steel, energy, and technology. These are the things that South Korea is most worried about. If they are really targeted by John in these fields, who will stand up to turn the tide for them? Who dares to stand up and help them, after all, John's strength is there.

No one believes that the major groups will become weaker after the asset restructuring. Anyone who thinks that way is not far from death. Look at the current situation and John's reaction. Smart people will understand how to deal with all this, especially when faced with the impact and threat from John.

These guys in Japan have been dealing with John for twenty years, and they won't easily turn against him. After all, many of their projects are influenced by John, especially in the mining and energy sectors. The food problem is relatively easy to solve, but other areas are a different story.

"Alright, since everyone agrees that we need to stand by and watch, let's settle on this. Everyone must be prepared to ensure that no one's subordinates cause any problems. If anyone does, they will bear the consequences. Of course, if anyone else discovers that someone is trying to cause trouble in secret, they can also decisively stop it. What do you all think of my suggestion?"

"This idea is good, but there is one thing we need to be prepared for: no one can take advantage of the situation to cause trouble or use the excuse of thinking about Japan to attack others. If such a situation occurs, then they will be the common enemy of all of us and will be completely destroyed. No one can plead for them. Only in this way can we effectively prevent anyone from taking advantage of the situation to cause trouble and undermine the stability and unity of Japan, and ensure that everything develops in a favorable direction."

As expected, it has to be these guys from Japan. Even at this point, they still have such insidious schemes in their minds. The fact that they can even think of this proves that they have such thoughts. Otherwise, they should be working together to overcome the difficulties.

"I have no objection. There should be such constraints, otherwise it would be dangerous if someone found a loophole!"

These guys quickly accepted the existence of such a constraint. As for why the guy who made the suggestion didn't point out the existence of this loophole, or whether he intentionally wanted to hide it, that's a matter of opinion!
Although the Japanese guys quickly reached a consensus, the real issues they faced were far more complex than that. Moreover, if someone wanted to scheme against Japan, their vigilance would be useless; they needed more people involved, most importantly the actions of government officials.

"Gentlemen, the official forces should also take action. Issue warnings to those guys, and the strongest warnings at that. If any group has problems, they should be held accountable. If the problems are serious, they should be destroyed. This time we cannot be lenient, otherwise we will not be able to deter those greedy guys. After all, these guys will do anything for profit, and we must be on guard!"

“That makes sense. Even if there’s only a small possibility, we must guard against it. We absolutely cannot allow a repeat of the last situation where we were so passive. If anyone provokes Mr. John again, it will be a devastating blow, a terrifying disaster for the entire nation. I don’t know how much you know about this, but from what I understand, Mr. John has mobilized global financial forces this time, from the US to Europe, then to Asia, and even Africa and the Middle East! It’s perfectly normal for those oil-producing and Israeli companies to be nervous and take action!”

When it comes to the oil capital and those guys in Israel, the Japanese are all very hostile. After all, they have been schemed against by these bastards several times. If it weren't for the pressure from the Americans, they would have already taken action against these guys!
Of course, these guys in Japan aren't exactly saints either. Only the bastards from the Japanese conglomerates could say something like that; who can rival their greed? While those groups are all incredibly ruthless, they're still bound by rules. But these conglomerates don't have that many constraints. It's just that this time their reaction was a bit too extreme! As for the schemes of the Japanese capital and the Italians, how much of it they knew about, or even tacitly approved, only they themselves know. These guys are just too shameless to admit it!

John was aware of every move the Japanese made, and he wanted to take the opportunity to give them a hard time and a fatal blow. Unfortunately, the Japanese were too cunning and treacherous and did not join the game. They were more patient than the Koreans, and they did not follow the Americans' orders.

When John received the intelligence from Japan, he couldn't help but sigh, "Those Japanese are truly cunning and treacherous. Those Koreans are far less vigilant than them. I don't even have a reason to launch an attack! Oh well, I'll let them go this time. At least their previous schemes have cost them dearly, and their investments in the United States have suffered heavy losses, which should be enough to make them feel the pain!"

At this point, John shook his head again. He was well aware of the situation in the United States. The constant requests for meetings from Morgan and others made it impossible for John to continue ignoring it. Even if he had a reason, he couldn't keep doing this forever. After all, no one was stupid. If John said he had no contact with the outside world, no one would believe it.

"It's time to show myself and see how those guys react. If anyone targets me now, that would be great. I wonder if those guys from Seville and the oil giants dare to make a move!" Use himself as bait? No, John had no such intention. He just couldn't keep hiding forever; things always needed to be resolved!

The next day, John emerged from the safe house and appeared in everyone's sight. John's appearance in Hong Kong caused a sensation throughout the city. Many people in Hong Kong had been searching for John's whereabouts, and many wanted to consult him, as Standard Chartered Bank's operations couldn't be kept secret from those who were interested!
“John has shown up. He’s still in Hong Kong. It seems I have to go there in person to hear his thoughts. If things continue like this, the bubble crisis will erupt too violently. Some guys will take risks. If something unexpected happens, it will be a disaster. I’m afraid John is hoping for that to happen!” Morgan sighed, a hint of worry in his eyes.
“Boss, are you worried that those people will target John? They dare to do things that break the rules like this. Aren’t they afraid of suffering a devastating blow themselves? John’s power in the Middle East hasn’t diminished, and he still has a powerful weapon!” Jimmy said, a hint of worry and fear in his eyes. After all, if something really goes wrong, the consequences will be uncontrollable!
“Jimmy, remember this: we need to be extra cautious, especially now. Those guys are too greedy. These bastards will do anything for their own benefit, and they can even shift the pressure onto the US. If something goes wrong, do you think the US will step in to stop it?” “No way! They dare to be so crazy. Even if the US intervenes, John’s people might not accept it!”

At this moment, Morgan shook his head and sighed, "You're still too naive, and you underestimate the cunning and treachery of those guys. They can launch a sneak attack on John, but they won't kill him; they'll just make some minor threats. Under these circumstances, do you think John will use a weapon of mass destruction? Do you think the United States won't step in to stop John's counterattack? Human nature is not to be underestimated, especially since those guys have always been insidious and ruthless!"

At this point, Morgan paused again before continuing, "Jimmy, have you got results for everything I asked you to know? This is no small matter; I need detailed information, and there can't be the slightest mistake!"

"We've already found out. There is indeed someone secretly stirring things up. I don't know what they're thinking. They're not worried about John's retaliation at all. Even Lehman Brothers are involved. It's as if they've forgotten that failure back then."

"This is the greed of human nature. When they see an opportunity, they are all blinded by profit. They only see the huge gains after victory, but they do not see the impact of failure on them. Moreover, I am sure that Lehman Brothers dared to do this because they had the tacit approval of the elephants. It seems that not only the donkeys were involved, but also those guys from the elephants. Did they really think that the friendship between Little Bush and John could settle everything?"

In an instant, Morgan understood the reason behind it. The involvement of the elephant made him uneasy. Although John and Little Bush had a friendship, it was worthless in the face of interests. Moreover, it was Little Bush who needed to beg John, not John who needed to beg Little Bush and the elephant!
“Boss, I don’t understand why those guys from the Elephants are doing this. You know, Oregon is now part of the Donkeys. How dare they tacitly approve of this? Aren’t they afraid that John will side with the Donkeys?”

"This is the greed of human nature. Haven't those guys been preparing all along? The Middle East is about to go to war. As long as the bigwigs come to power, this is inevitable. Under these circumstances, these guys from the bigwigs have become arrogant. They think that John won't dare to turn against them for this 'trivial matter.' After all, the outbreak of war in the Middle East will revive Gulfstream Aerospace and bring a feast to the military-industrial complex. With the attraction of this bone, they have become somewhat unscrupulous!"

At this point, Jimmy was a little dumbfounded. He knew about Gulfstream Aerospace's situation. After selling that big project, Gulfstream Aerospace had gotten out of the crisis, and the orders from Middle Eastern tycoons had given Gulfstream Aerospace more funds.

"This is no small matter; it's a huge deal. It involves the internet industry, the semiconductor chip industry, and many of South Korea's interests. Do they really think that the lure of military industry can keep John from retaliating? That's ridiculous. How dare they even think that?"

"Now you see it, don't you? People's hearts change. Now they have gained an absolute advantage in the struggle with the donkey, which has made them arrogant and they don't know when to advance or retreat. Even Old Man and Little Man have become a bit conceited, thinking that everything is under control, and they haven't seen the danger behind it at all! Or rather, they haven't seen through John's plan at all; they've only seen a little bit of the surface!"

These words sound unbelievable, but that's the reality. Not only was Jimmy unable to accept it, but even John couldn't believe the news he received when he learned all this. Only after confirming it repeatedly did he dare to believe that the news was true. The elephant had become arrogant and had lost its sense of propriety.

John was fully aware of the situation behind Lehman Brothers. He had learned about it since his first conflict with Lehman Brothers and had always had designs on them. Of course, this time it wasn't just Lehman Brothers that had jumped out; there were many more, only those were more deeply hidden. However, with the capabilities of Jaguar Security and Hurricane Investment, they could still find out the identities of these people; it was just a matter of time.

Why are so many Wall Street figures involved, and so many financial giants secretly fueling the fire? The reason is quite simple: they don't want to see John grow stronger. They were all shocked by John's victory in the Asian financial crisis, and they all want to stop John's expansion in the financial field and suppress his influence!
In those guys' minds, as long as they could stop John's expansion, make Hurricane Investment's plan fail, or even defeat John in the financial field, it would be worth paying some price. After all, only when John's influence was weakened could they do more and be more unscrupulous, instead of having to hide in the shadows like they are now.

Yes, these guys are all ambitious, eager to take over, and want to bring down Hurricane Investment. That's why they're so reckless and unaware of the consequences. And the more they act this way, the closer they are to their demise. From the moment they plotted against John, they became his enemies, a deep-seated hatred for him! Given the chance, John will never let these guys go and will make them pay the price for their actions. Are there any who can see through John? Yes, but none of them are willing to speak up, much less try to persuade those guys. For them, only when a major battle breaks out and Wall Street giants fall will they have a chance to rise and take their place!
