Chapter 309 Aviation Layout
Meanwhile, Morgan was also making preparations. He needed to fulfill his previous promises, and through this meeting, Morgan felt he had seen through part of John's scheme—a significant matter requiring early preparation! From this meeting, he had discerned John's plans in the aviation industry. He had previously been deceived by John, believing the man had no designs on large aircraft, but now he realized he was wrong. It wasn't that the shrewd John lacked such ambitions; rather, he was cautiously guarding against the enemy's machinations.

If Gulfstream Aerospace didn't have enough strength and capability, it wouldn't have easily stepped into the manufacturing of large commercial aircraft. Now, this little fox is accumulating capital and strength, waiting for the right opportunity.

“Jimmy, keep a close eye on Gulfstream Aerospace’s every move, especially Gulfstream. We’ve all been fooled by this little fox. He’s very ambitious and has never given up on expanding in the aerospace industry. We just have to be patient now!”

"Boss, really? If John really had such an idea, why would he refuse our proposal? McDonnell Douglas is the best choice, and Gulfstream is fully capable of supporting such an acquisition!"

"That's just your own idea. Think about it carefully. Look at Gulfstream and John's little family's power plant plan this time. What's behind it all? It's the aviation industry. He's building a solid foundation for himself. After all, his Gulfstream Aerospace Group is just a cobbled-together project. It doesn't have enough foundation at all. Now he's polishing it step by step. The power plant and entering the power industry are just illusions. The acquisition of the natural gas field is also just a hypothetical. In fact, there is only one ultimate goal, which is the aviation industry and the aviation manufacturing industry. He wants to build the best foundation for Pratt & Whitney."

"How is that possible? Even if Pratt & Whitney gets such a civilian market, it won't have a big impact on itself. Even if John, that little fox, promotes Pratt & Whitney's gas-fired power plants, he won't gain much more. Electricity demand is finite. Could it be that this guy is still eyeing the Middle East? Even if those tycoons are rich, they won't accept it easily."

"No, you're wrong. They will accept it. As long as John the fox's power plant succeeds, the Middle Eastern tycoons will definitely accept it. They will deepen their cooperation with John the fox and with Pratt & Whitney. Also, you forgot an important point. John already owns Gulfstream, a civilian aircraft manufacturer. Do you think this little fox chose Gulfstream as the core of the group without his own calculations? Now, because of the orders from the Middle Eastern tycoons, Gulfstream is recruiting and expanding like crazy. If they have skilled workers, do you think he won't enter the large aircraft manufacturing field when the time is right?"

"Hiss! No way, this little fox has such a long-term plan? But even if his Gulfstream is expanding with the help of orders from Middle Eastern tycoons, it's still just business jets, it has nothing to do with large aircraft. These are completely different systems. Moreover, he rejected our goodwill and McDonnell Douglas, so he will never have such an opportunity again!"

"Yes, it's not just the US that manufactures aircraft. He can't jump straight into large aircraft manufacturing; it takes time. He can acquire regional jet manufacturers. You should arrange for people to prepare in that direction. If I'm not mistaken, this little fox won't acquire McDonnell Douglas. At most, he'll poach McDonnell Douglas employees. Perhaps when McDonnell Douglas runs into trouble, he'll take a piece of its flesh to improve himself! His acquisition targets are outside the US. We need to propose and prepare accordingly. I'm worried that those Rockefeller guys will see through all of this."

"The acquisition target isn't in the US, and the production isn't in the US either. How can this guy get orders from US airlines? It'll be hard to explain to the White House. If Boeing puts even a little pressure on him, his plans will fall apart!"

"Gulfstream, he has Gulfstream, enough manpower, and if he acquires a decent regional jet manufacturer, that won't be enough. He can completely transfer production to the United States, even if it's just a part, and that will leave no room for criticism! Keep an eye on that little fox John, keep an eye on Gulfstream. If they have such a plan, we will definitely investigate them in secret!"

"Boss, does this mean that John, that little fox, was never really after the power plant project, the gas field, or the oil industry, and that everything he did was just to deceive everyone?"

"That's possible, but we can't rule out the possibility that this little fox is determined to make a fortune in the oil industry. After all, he's too crazy; he's a fearless madman. He reminds me of Hughes back in the day. Perhaps this is a common trait among prodigies. Think about Hughes back then—who could have imagined he'd become so powerful? Now, this little fox, John, has that same crazy trait. Nobody knows what he'll do or how far he'll go. The reason I've always opposed making enemies with this little fox is that I don't want to see him surpass Hughes and become Morgan's enemy one day!"

"No way, no matter how crazy John is, he's not as good as Hughes!"

"Absolutely. This little fox now dares to threaten us directly, threaten those old guys like Rockefeller, and even dares to fight Donkey. What wouldn't he dare to do? Perhaps one day those little devils will regret helping John the little fox. It was these guys who single-handedly helped this little fox grow up. Without their strong support and that powerful financial backing, even if John the little fox had many ideas, he wouldn't be able to realize them, and he wouldn't have expanded so quickly and so wildly." "But those guys in Japan have all benefited greatly from John the little fox. How could they possibly regret it!"

"This is only now; they're still cooperating. Once they clash, everything will be different. You don't really think those little devils in Japan would trust John, this little fox, without any suspicion, do you? Or do you think John, this little fox, will completely trust those Japanese guys? As long as this little fox continues to expand, they will eventually reach the point of confrontation, and then everything will change. Ultimately, who will win depends on their respective preparations. Don't be fooled by how much this little fox values ​​the game world; that's just the surface. I believe what John, this little fox, values ​​most isn't the game world, but Bell Labs."

"Boss, Bell Labs is good, but it's still not as good as Dreamworld or Nvidia. Why do you say that little fox John values ​​Bell Labs the most?" Jimmy didn't quite understand his boss's words and thought it was unrealistic. Bell Labs' market value wasn't as high as Dreamworld or Nvidia!

"Don't you think that Dreamworld and Nvidia both have high market capitalizations and great prospects, and even have their own absolute patents? If the semiconductor industry develops rapidly, these two companies will be absolute industry giants?"

"Yes, I don't think it's very normal for John to choose Bell Labs instead of Dreamworld, knowing that Dreamworld and Nvidia are industry giants!"

"It's abnormal, that's for sure. John, that little fox, knows that such a company can't be controlled by him. It will definitely go public. Dreamworld and Nvidia will both go public, but Bell Labs won't, because it's just a research and development institution. All patents will be handed over to subsidiaries for commercialization. Look at Global Online now and you should understand all this. This little fox is more terrifying and more insane than we imagined."

After getting rid of Jimmy, Morgan began to reorganize the internal structure. However, by this time, those guys were already prepared, because someone had tipped them off. It was obvious that it was one of Rockefeller's guys, but no one knew exactly who. However, these guys' actions did not cause Morgan any trouble.

When Morgan Stanley announced that the game world would be delisted and Morgan Stanley would lose John, an important partner, the neutral parties immediately turned against him and became his supporters. They condemned those who had various selfish motives, arguing that if such a situation were to occur, their own interests would be harmed, and only by standing with Morgan Stanley could they protect their interests.

Soon, the board was unanimously in favor, and those with differing opinions were purged. With the board's full support, Morgan's leader began a restructuring, eliminating all those deemed useless. This move by Morgan shocked the entire Wall Street, including the White House; no one had anticipated such a swift and dramatic upheaval.

"What a Morgan! What decisiveness! He cut through the Gordian knot. I originally wanted to cause him some trouble, but now it all seems to have come to nothing. It was all for naught. This guy's reaction was really decisive. I wonder what the White House thinks about all this now. I wonder if the White House knows about John the fox's power plant plan!"

At this time, many people on Wall Street were marveling at Morgan's ruthless decisiveness. After the cleanup, Morgan's efficiency would be greatly improved, and there would be no more internal problems. At least for a long time, no one would dare to challenge Morgan's decisions, and the entire Morgan would usher in a new change.

During this process, many opponents tried to stop Morgan, but their methods all failed. No matter how many schemes they had, they all disappeared under Morgan's crazy operation. It can be said that Morgan has now become a one-man show, and no one dares to stand up against Morgan's decisions.
