America: My Time

Chapter 307 Vigilance
Chapter 307 Vigilance
"Indeed, it seems that coming to Morgan this time was the right decision. Without this conversation, I'm afraid I wouldn't have thought of the electricity problem or the natural gas field. If I were to get involved in the power industry now, I wonder what these old guys would think! However, this is also an opportunity to test these old guys. California is the best target and the best excuse to complete the acquisition of the natural gas field and enter the natural gas field and oil field development industry!"

At this point, John shook his head slightly and said, “Gentlemen, I don’t know how you view all this, but many people are still targeting my development in the United States, forcing me to make more preparations in small matters to prevent being held hostage. This makes me more cautious. Morgan previously inquired about my expansion in retail, which I refused. The reason is simple: I’m worried about being held hostage or being schemed against. Who knows when another trick will appear? So now I dare not continue to expand in the United States. You can tell the White House that it’s not that I’m unwilling to contribute to the economic development of the United States, but that someone has been obstructing me.”

“John, you’re overthinking it. The situation you encountered before was simply because some people were envious of what you gained from your trip to the Middle East, which led to some scheming individuals. Of course, we all understand that there are some ignorant people behind this, but America belongs to Americans, not those guys. We will give you an explanation, and the White House will give you a satisfactory explanation.”

"I hope so too, but I need to see the results. Otherwise, I will only invest and expand overseas where it is relatively safe. At least I won't have to worry about this or that and can expand with peace of mind. Japan is a good choice, as are Hong Kong and Taiwan. Even the whole of Asia is much safer."

Is John laying his cards on the table with these old guys? No, in Morgan's view, this isn't a showdown, but a threat. John is threatening these old guys, and also the White House. If it really comes to this, and John decides to abandon his investments in the US, it could trigger a crazy war, plunging the entire United States into a terrible storm.

"A madman, John, that little fox, is a madman, a madman with an extremely low sense of security. If you really cross his bottom line, it will trigger a series of crazy counterattacks. It was the same during the Middle East trip, and it is the same now. This little guy's patience has reached its limit!" This was Morgan's true feeling at this moment, and it also made him worried.

In the United States, there is no shortage of geniuses and madmen, and madmen are more terrifying than geniuses. Otherwise, there wouldn't be so many shootings. It is obvious that John is also a madman. When you cross his line, you will suffer his crazy counterattack. Perhaps this time those old guys and the White House really made a mistake and angered this little fox.

Although he harbored such thoughts, the Morgan tycoon didn't show them. He smiled calmly and said, "John, things aren't as dangerous as you think. As long as you're willing, Morgan will always stand by your side. Whether it's retail or semiconductors, we'll do our best to help you solve any problems. Whenever you need us, Morgan will firmly stand by your side. To be honest, this wasn't my decision, but rather the work of those fools on the board. They all received requests from certain individuals, which is why this situation arose. Now I can assure you, Morgan will soon return to its previous state and oust those fools from the board!"

At this point, Morgan made a crazy decision, a decisive one: to remove those foolish guys from the board of directors, at least to prevent them from interfering with Morgan's normal development and from becoming stumbling blocks for Morgan.

"Hiss! Morgan has really gone mad, giving that little fox John such a guarantee. It seems he's really desperate. The little fox's reaction has made him uneasy, forcing him to choose to sacrifice some guys." At this moment, a look of shock flashed in Rockefeller's eyes. He was stunned by Morgan's decision. If he were in Morgan's position, could he make such a decision? Would he make such a big internal upheaval just to keep that little fox John's trust?
It was difficult, very difficult. He didn't have the confidence to do it. This was Rockefeller's true thought. This sudden change had stirred something within him. Morgan dared to do this, but he couldn't. However, a crazy thought quickly flashed through his mind: Morgan dared to make such a statement, could it be that he had sensed something? Had that little fox John secretly taken some dangerous action?

"Security company? Could it be that the security company under this little fox's control has done something crazy that forced Morgan to make this decision? Or was Morgan's previous statement just a gesture, and they already knew about John's covert operations, so they took this opportunity to clean up internally? A scheme to use someone else to do their dirty work, using John as a tool to eliminate hidden dangers within the company—this is something Morgan is absolutely capable of doing!" The more Rockefeller thought about it, the more convinced he became that everything that happened to Morgan today was a conspiracy, a scheme. This guy used everyone's power to remove all obstacles to his control of the company.

Although his previous actions might have given John, that little fox, paused and created a rift in their relationship, it wasn't irreparable. As long as Morgan fulfilled his promise, their relationship would return to normal. It has to be said that Morgan was incredibly cunning, having calculated everything.

For old men like Rockefeller, their minds were filled with nothing but intrigue and scheming. Even a small matter could be interpreted as a plot device by them. Of course, Morgan did indeed have such a scheme, using the opportunity to eliminate potential threats within the company. After all, there were many dissenting voices within Morgan, and if they weren't removed in time, it would only hinder Morgan's development. Therefore, using others to do the dirty work was perfectly normal.

"Alright, if Morgan can do all this, I naturally won't give up my development in the US. After all, the opportunities in the US far surpass those overseas. If the listing of Game World goes smoothly, the listings of Nvidia and Dream World will follow. I'm not the kind of person who doesn't understand sharing profits, but it's impossible to get benefits from me for free. There's no reward without effort; that's my stance. However, since we're sitting here today and have discussed this matter, I won't make a statement. The vast amount of funds I have can't remain in my account forever; I'll inevitably find an investment direction!"

"John, which direction do you want to develop in? Is it in the oil industry?" At this moment, Rockefeller couldn't help but become more vigilant. If this little fox got involved in the oil industry, it would have an impact on Rockefeller.

"The oil industry has too high a barrier to entry and is too specialized for a novice like me. After the energy reform, the energy sector in the United States has changed, and I intend to get involved in the power industry and become an independent power generator. You know, California is a major electricity consumer, and it also has a good supply of natural gas. Building gas-fired power plants is a good business opportunity!"

"Electricity? Why would that little fox have his eye on electricity? Damn it, could it be Pratt & Whitney? After acquiring Pratt & Whitney, is he trying to use this opportunity to enter the civilian power plant market?" Rockefeller quickly thought of Pratt & Whitney, the engine company sold to John, which had somehow managed to manipulate things under John's control. If John was truly interested in building gas-fired power plants, it was obvious he would choose Pratt & Whitney for the gas turbines—a direct gift to Pratt & Whitney, expanding its capabilities and strengthening its power!
"Pratt & Whitney, it seems we really shouldn't have sold this company to that little fox." A hint of disappointment crossed Rockefeller's face as he thought of Pratt & Whitney. If Pratt & Whitney had made greater progress in civilian applications, Gulfstream Aerospace would have truly been free of crisis and would have developed steadily. And it was easy to imagine that once that little fox completed the construction of its power plant in California, it would again set its sights on Middle Eastern tycoons, promoting Pratt & Whitney's gas turbines to them.

Not only Rockefeller thought of it, but Morgan did too, and a look of shock flashed in his eyes. They had no way to stop such a thing, and since John, this little fox, had said it to their faces, he was not afraid of their obstruction. In fact, if someone really stood up to obstruct them, it might trigger a major war.

"This is indeed a good business opportunity. Not only does it give my funds an investment direction, but it also indirectly supports the development of inclusive finance!" Having understood John's idea, Morgan made his statement. He had no reason to stop it, nor could he, since independent power generators were unaffected by the energy reforms. Moreover, the White House wouldn't object to such an investment; anyone who did would face suppression from the White House, as it would provide numerous jobs in the US! At this moment, Morgan even suspected that this might be a deal between John, the sly fox, and Donald Trump. Otherwise, why would he choose California to offer Donald Trump benefits? If it was related to Donald Trump, what price did Donald Trump pay to persuade this sly fox?
