Chapter 308 A Madman in Everyone's Eyes

Chapter 308 The Madman in Everyone's Eyes

"Aerospace, it seems John, this little fox, attaches great importance to the aviation industry. Every step he takes is a strategic move for aviation. His foray into the power generation industry, becoming an independent power producer, seems like an entry into the power sector, but the ultimate goal is still to lay the groundwork for aviation and create more benefits for Inclusive Finance. Perhaps after this little fox completes the integration of Gulfstream Aerospace, and when Gulfstream Aerospace no longer has any funding problems, this little fox will make new moves!" The deeper Morgan thought about it, the more he felt that John had an amazing strategic plan for the aviation industry, and everything now was just the beginning.

Are independent power generators profitable? Of course they are, and their profits are guaranteed regardless of market conditions. While the profits may not be spectacular, the risks are very low. Such an investment is unlikely to cause any major problems, especially in California, where there are huge electricity consumers and electricity sales are never a problem.

"Wait, something's not right. This little fox has no need to inform us or consult with us. Such an investment would not encounter any resistance. It seems that this little fox is after Rockefeller. Not only did it acquire two oil refineries from them, but now it seems that it wants to acquire Rockefeller's natural gas fields!" In an instant, Morgan realized John's intention and couldn't help but turn his gaze to Rockefeller.

At this moment, Rockefeller also wore a wry smile, having also realized John's cunning intentions. Of course, he could choose not to sell, but there were quite a few natural gas fields in the United States; if Rockefeller wouldn't sell, someone else would.

"John, are you looking to acquire the gas field?"

Upon hearing Rockefeller's words, John nodded slightly and said, "That's right. Since you've chosen to enter the power generation industry, you naturally need your own energy supply. I believe Rockefeller has no shortage of such natural gas fields!"

The old guys like Rockefeller wanted to enter the semiconductor industry and were pushing hard for it, but now this little fox, John, wanted to enter the natural gas and power generation industries. However, Rockefeller wasn't worried that John could shake their market, at least not for a long time; they didn't think John had that ability.

“No problem!” Rockefeller agreed immediately. As for how to sell it, such a trivial matter did not require his decision.

"Alright, if there are no problems with the natural gas field, your concerns will soon disappear, and you won't have to keep an eye on the funds I have anymore. Actually, I'm quite easy to talk to; I won't offend others unless they offend me."

"You little fox, you think you're so easy to talk to? How dare you say such things? You're utterly shameless." Rockefeller and the other old guys sneered at John's words, and no one took him seriously.

Although the meeting had a few hiccups, the outcome was good. At least they learned John's little fox's goal. As for whether there were other schemes behind it, they don't know yet.

The meeting ended quickly, and John left Morgan with a smile. However, the old men felt incredibly heavy-hearted. They were now feeling the pressure; John's reaction was too intense, forcing them to be cautious, especially since they were now beginning to have some reservations about Morgan.

After leaving Morgan, the old guys found a place to sit down and discuss the meeting. They were all worried about Morgan's situation. If Morgan's conspiracy succeeded, Morgan might soar to great heights and grow rapidly, threatening their interests.

When Rockefeller voiced his concerns, everyone frowned. They didn't see anything wrong with such suspicions; Morgan was certainly capable of such tactics. Using someone else to do his dirty work was perfectly normal for him, and now that he had already made his move and taken the initiative.

“We should find a way to stop Morgan. At the very least, we should warn those people so they can prepare in advance. We can't let Morgan catch us off guard and let his scheme succeed!” “Too late. It’s all too late now. Morgan has already gotten everything he wanted. When that little fox John went crazy and made his threats, everything was already set in stone. If Morgan wanted, he could eliminate those ‘foolish’ guys at any time, completely control Morgan, and lead Morgan to a new level.”

"Yes, it's too late now. Morgan is a very cunning guy. I even suspect that the sale of Pratt & Whitney was Morgan's conspiracy. He's been scheming against us all along. If we hadn't sold Pratt & Whitney, John, that little fox, wouldn't have achieved the momentum we have now!"

"You can't say that. While Puhui is important, it wouldn't have been possible to pull off so many tricks if it weren't for John, that little fox. Most importantly, Morgan already warned us beforehand, so it's inappropriate for you to say such things."

“John, that little fox, has clearly got his mind started. Perhaps this guy isn't just threatening us, but that his patience with those guys has reached its limit. We need to warn them, or a storm will break out. I don't know what kind of impact this little guy will have if he goes crazy. After all, he controls a media giant like Legendary Entertainment and wields considerable influence. If he really exposes everything to the American public, things will spiral out of control. Although many people are envious of John's gains this time, that's not a reason for them to act, nor is it a reason to start a storm. What we need is stability.”

“Indeed, what we need now is steady development. We have already gained some initiative in the semiconductor industry. Now, this little fox John is willing to share the patents in mobile communications and is also interested in sharing the profits. We cannot let these guys ruin our plans, and we cannot let their selfishness affect the interests of all of us.”

"I just don't understand what Lehman Brothers and Warner are up to. Haven't they suffered enough? Do they really think that little fox John is completely unaware of their methods? I think Morgan might know something. That little fox John owns a security company. If he goes crazy, the consequences will be unimaginable. If someone dares to break the rules, that little fox John won't follow any rules either. He's a madman with a very low sense of security."

In Rockefeller's eyes, John was a madman, a madman and monster with a very low sense of security. You can't push him too hard or cross his bottom line, or you will suffer endless retaliation. John's pettiness is known throughout the United States. The Middle East trip is a good example, but those guys still didn't learn their lesson and still ignorantly did those things.

At this moment, Rockefeller seemed to have forgotten his own actions. He was one of the participants in this operation, but now he was shifting all the blame onto others as if he had no responsibility at all. In fact, he was the most greedy one, but this time his plan failed.

"Forget it, let these guys do what they want. We just need to keep those fools in check and prevent them from antagonizing John the fox over the Middle East, which could trigger his furious counterattack. Although John's trip to the Middle East has caused them a lot of trouble, it's all their own doing. If they don't know when to back down, we need to make them understand how serious the consequences will be. We can't wait for John the fox to make a move, or that would disrupt our entire plan."

“Okay, it’s decided then. Let those guys tone it down. John, that little fox, has run out of patience. We can’t let these guys provoke him any further, lest the situation get out of control. If we really let that little fox expose everything to the public, the consequences will be uncontrollable, and someone will have to pay the price.”

"Gentlemen, do you really think John, this little fox, has no intention of oil exploration? I have a feeling that things are not that simple. This little fox's choice to acquire natural gas fields is not as simple as he says. After all, he also owns oil refineries. Moreover, if this little fox continues to expand his retail business and fleet, it is hard to say whether he will make more acquisitions!"

“We don’t need to worry about this now. In fact, if he really wants to get involved, I think it’s a good opportunity. We can’t beat him in the high-tech industry, but there’s no reason why we can’t beat this little fox in the oil industry. As long as he’s willing to get involved, we have a way to suppress him.”

"That's true. In this traditional field, he's no match for us. He's far from being able to compete with us, at least he doesn't have enough technological support. But should we really enter the mobile communications market? I think it's best to wait and see for a while, and make a decision after we've assessed the situation!"

"No, if we don't enter the market now, the gap between us and this little fox will only widen. You don't think this little fox will keep licensing its technology to us forever, do you? If we don't enter now, we'll only miss an opportunity. We also need to do R&D in mobile communications! Otherwise, once this little fox has really built up the market, there will be no room for us anymore. Just look at the gaming world to see how powerful this little fox's methods are. And look at the semiconductor industry; just a price increase in quartz sand alone has shaken the entire industry. Anyone who underestimates him will pay a heavy price."
