America: My Time

Chapter 305 Crack
Chapter 305 Cracks
This is the nature of capital. Although Morgan had previously sided with John, they changed their stance when faced with absolute profit. This naturally aroused John's vigilance, who directly used the listing of the game world as leverage to threaten Morgan. Since Morgan dared to do this, he had to bear John's wrath.

A rift appeared between John and Morgan at this moment! When John brought up the game world, Morgan's mood became heavy, and Jimmy's face showed a trace of unease. This was not their decision, but the result of Morgan's board of directors. Those fools were persuaded by old guys like Rockefeller, which led to the current situation.

However, John doesn't care whose fault it is. When this happens, it means that Morgan is no longer worthy of his trust, and he can no longer trust Morgan, no matter what the reason is!
If John really abandons the IPO of the game world, it's an outcome no one can accept, and it's something Morgan hadn't anticipated. He was too confident, thinking John wouldn't make such a decision, but now the worst-case scenario has occurred.

“Those damn bastards, I told them long ago not to challenge John the fox’s bottom line, but they wouldn’t listen. Now that problems have arisen, I have to bear the consequences. After this is over, we must reorganize the board of directors and get rid of those ignorant guys, otherwise Morgan’s troubles will only get bigger and bigger.”

Although he had such thoughts in his mind, Morgan dared not ignore John's anger and quickly said, "John, don't be anxious. We have no ill intentions, and this is not our intention. It is due to external pressure that we have to ask you. Even if Morgan is very powerful, we must compromise at times. Rockefeller and the others are the same."

"Yes, that's definitely not what we wanted. We're not that stupid. We've worked together more than once, so we can't be unaware of your determination. It's just that many times we're powerless, and we have to compromise with reality. You think it's the idea of ​​us old guys, that we intentionally want to share the profits of Nvidia and the gaming world. But we've never had such a foolish idea. None of us are idiots. How could we compromise in the face of profit? It's just that we have no choice but to do this. Someone is putting pressure on us!"

John didn't really believe what Morgan and Rockefeller said. He might believe there was external pressure, but he didn't believe that pressure could force them to compromise. The most likely explanation was that they wanted to use this opportunity to attack him. Because of those external forces, they had ample excuses; they had simply underestimated his reaction.

“I don’t know what those people are thinking, and I don’t care what they are thinking. If they think I’m easy to bully, then they’re wrong. The game world doesn’t necessarily have to be listed on the stock exchange, and my businesses in the United States aren’t impossible to move. If they insist on challenging my bottom line, then let’s go all out. I also want to know who will ultimately fall!” At this moment, John exuded a terrifying killing intent, which shocked Morgan, Rockefeller, and the others.

"He's gone mad, he's really gone mad! John, that little fox, is reacting so violently. It seems his patience has really reached its limit. If anyone dares to oppose him again and stirs up trouble for no reason, a major war might break out. The security company under this little fox's control is growing stronger and stronger!"

What was the external pressure? Morgan didn't say, Rockefeller didn't say, but John understood that it was nothing more than the White House, those guys in Israel, and those guys who were wholeheartedly on Israel's side. They really thought they were easy to bully and that John had to compromise with them.

Actually, when John received that amazing order during his trip to the Middle East, he knew what kind of trouble and impact it would bring him, but he didn't expect these guys to tamper with the semiconductor industry.

“John, don’t worry, no one will interfere with your decision. We’re just relaying those guys’ ideas. Whether you agree or not is entirely up to you! Although we old guys have our own interests in the semiconductor industry, we won’t force you to accept this opinion!” At this moment, Rockefeller was also worried, afraid that John, this little fox, would really overturn the table and have a head-on confrontation, which was not the result that anyone wanted to see.

Originally, it was thought that John, the little fox, would compromise because of the existence of mobile communication and network systems, but unexpectedly, the little guy had no intention of compromising at all. This put Rockefeller and his ilk in a bind, forcing them to change their previous decisions and abandon their greedy thoughts.

John was right. These bastards were using external interference to their advantage, hoping to seize some benefits from John. However, they failed and had to shift all the blame onto external pressure to extricate themselves from the struggle.

"I'll reiterate once again, I don't care what others think or what those guys think. If they dare to continue interfering with my normal business activities, don't blame me for not giving them face. Do they really think that the United States can let them do whatever they want? If there's a next time, there won't be any possibility of sitting down and talking. I will flip the table and expose everything to the public. I want to know what the result will be when the entire American people know all this."

Upon hearing John's words, everyone present gasped in shock, stunned by his audacious idea. They all knew the consequences if this were made public—someone would have to pay the price, even the White House would suffer a heavy blow! "John, don't worry, we'll show those guys your resolve and warn them!" Seeing Morgan remain silent, Rockefeller had no choice but to step forward and make a guarantee. After all, it was Rockefeller who had orchestrated this, and they were the ones who had to clean up the mess. Morgan didn't want to further antagonize John, this little fox, and let his hard-earned profits slip away—a result they neither wanted nor could accept.

Human greed knows no bounds; these guys had inappropriate ideas when faced with profit, and unfortunately, they failed. It didn't affect Rockefeller and his ilk much, but it was different for Morgan. Their previously close relationship with John was strained, all because of those foolish and greedy board members. Those guys couldn't get what they deserved, and now they were causing Morgan's interests to suffer.

"John, what are your thoughts on the development of mobile communications? Can the patents really be shared with us?" At this moment, Rockefeller asked about Bell Labs' mobile communications patents again. When Bell Labs was initially broken up, these guys didn't care, but now, seeing the rapid expansion of Global Online, they couldn't help but have some thoughts.

"That's natural. I've said it before: if you want to participate in this mobile communication game, the patents can be licensed. But you should think it through. I can't guarantee that you'll make money. Besides, the market is small right now and requires a long time to cultivate. You might pay a huge price but not necessarily get enough returns."

"Don't worry, we know that. Since patents can be licensed, we hope to obtain this patent license as soon as possible!"

“Alright, Bell Labs has no problem with that, as long as you want it. You can arrange for someone to negotiate the licensing issue with Bell Labs.” John was very clear about what these old guys were thinking. Since they wanted to get involved, he had no reason to stop them. Moreover, with these guys involved, the development of mobile communications would be faster.

When they saw John agree to this so readily, the old guys were a little suspicious, even a little worried. Could there be some kind of conspiracy involved? Could this mobile communication be a trap deliberately set by that little fox John, waiting for them to fall into it and get tricked?

John had no time to care about these guys' thoughts, nor did he care about their opinions. He had said what he needed to say, and he didn't want to stay any longer, lest he get angry just seeing these bastards.

"If you have nothing else to attend to, I will take my leave now. I have many matters to attend to!"

"John, hold on a minute. There's something we'd like to discuss with you. Delta Air Lines is interested in acquiring Pan Am, which you own. What's your opinion?" At this moment, the old guys like Rockefeller jumped out again. This time, they actually wanted to acquire Pan Am, which Delta Air Lines was asking on their behalf. This was quite interesting!

"Sure, if they can offer a good price, I'm fine with it. I can sell it for double the price we negotiated before. Making double the profit in such a short time is a pretty good deal!"

Upon hearing John's answer, the old men like Rockefeller frowned, utterly shocked by his exorbitant offer. If Pan Am's situation hadn't indeed been turned around in such a short time, they would have been furious. How long had it been? This young fox dared to make such a huge demand, asking for such a high recruitment fee—it was a slap in the face, making them lose face! And this had only been a little over a month!
