Chapter 332 John's Request

Chapter 332 John's Request
“I know, and that’s precisely why I’ve come to you to resolve this. As Morgan and Rockefeller, you have the capability, and I don’t believe that Morgan and Rockefeller don’t have their own hospitals under their control. That’s my request!”

Faced with John's insistence, Jimmy didn't say anything more and turned his gaze to the Rockefeller representative. Now that things had gone beyond what had been discussed before, the decision-making power now rested with this Rockefeller representative. Jimmy didn't want to bear this pressure, and it wasn't his responsibility, nor even Morgan's responsibility.

"Mr. John, we need time to discuss this!" Although he was somewhat reluctant, he had no other choice and dared not agree rashly. Don't underestimate this hospital; there are too many things involved behind it.

"Alright, I'll wait for your reply. However, we need to make a decision sooner rather than later. I don't have much time to wait. If the US can't provide this kind of assistance, I'll have to try overseas. The situation in Japan is quite good!"

When Jimmy heard John bring up the neon issue, he couldn't help but sigh. He knew that if John really shifted his focus, it would be troublesome, as those guys in the neon would agree without hesitation.

"John, don't worry, we won't keep you waiting too long. We'll give you an answer in three days at most!" Faced with John's pressure, Jimmy had no choice but to make this promise. Three days was a short time, but it was the only way to keep John calm.

Clearly, the negotiations had failed, and Jimmy and Morgan needed to report everything. However, as soon as Jimmy left John's house, he immediately contacted his boss, only to find him in San Francisco to his surprise. This shocked Jimmy; what had happened to make his boss make such a decision?

"Jimmy, how did your negotiations with that little fox John go? Did he agree to our proposal?"

"It failed. John's request was beyond our control. He wanted a decent hospital, saying it was to prepare for the security company! However, I always felt there was something wrong, but I just couldn't figure it out! If it was for the security company, there was no need to do this. He could have simply acquired an ordinary hospital."

"It seems our worries were justified. John, that little fox, didn't focus his expansion domestically but chose overseas. You must know about the Western Star truck incident. Now, there's a new development: news from Australia that Quantum Mining's subsidiary, Australian Mining, has discovered a world-class iron ore deposit in Western Australia. You know what that means!"

"Boss, is this news accurate? If so, we're under a lot more pressure. It seems everyone has underestimated John's mining ambitions. A world-class iron ore mine—that's astonishing. Canada has made amazing discoveries, South America has them, and even Mexico has numerous projects. Now, Australia has also made a remarkable discovery. All of this puts us in a more passive position, and Dream World's market value will be even more astonishing. Could it be that John, that little fox, is delaying the IPO?"

"Whatever his intentions, we must now consider this carefully. The rapid development of Quantum Mining is making everyone uneasy. If we allow this little fox to expand overseas without restraint, he may not need to have many operations in the United States at all; overseas markets can satisfy all his needs. His car factory in Mexico has already opened, which makes many people uneasy. Do you understand?"

Jimmy understood perfectly well how low production costs were in Mexico. John, that little fox, relocated Jeep, which immediately reduced production costs. As long as the vehicles themselves were fine, it would definitely shake up the entire car market.

"Boss, do you mean we should quickly agree to John's demands and redirect his expansion focus back to the United States, back into our sights?" At this moment, Jimmy somewhat understood his boss's thoughts, but was it really feasible? Would John, that little fox, not see through the scheme?

In Jimmy's view, such cooperation was likely a case of throwing good money after bad, only providing John, the little fox, with more opportunities than hindering his growth. He saw this in Sikorsky, Hughes, Pratt & Whitney, and Pan Am – all experiencing phenomenal growth. "That's right. We don't need to worry about the hospital; leave it to the Rockefellers. It's their business, and we don't need to take responsibility for them. However, John's request at this time is probably not without ulterior motives. His security company is growing too fast; it already has hundreds of employees and is still expanding. It's now handling security for all his subsidiaries, and this expansion is unsettling!" Morgan sighed as he said this.

Faced with such a monstrous figure with low self-esteem, many things cannot be overdone, because you never know what kind of counterattack he might launch next. Just like the crisis that broke out before, if it weren't for the power of the security company John controls, those old guys would probably have jumped out and caused trouble again. Now that there is a threat from the security company, no one dares to cause trouble, especially at this time. They are worried that this little fox John will pin the quantum mining matter on them.

How much did Quantum Mining lose? Nobody knows, but the leak did happen. The leaked documents involved too many countries, not only North America, but also South America, Australia, various Asian countries, and even many African countries. The list of names gave Morgan a headache.

Under these circumstances, anyone who says that we don't need to care about the development of quantum mining is extremely foolish. In fact, these guys don't even dare to take any more action now. They also have a concern that if John, that little fox, sells all the mines he has, it will be another amazing income. Now even Lehman Brothers no longer dares to be arrogant and is fearful and uneasy. They no longer have the arrogance they had before and dare not continue to invest in Bloodhurricane.

"Boss, there's something going on in Silicon Valley too. Hurricane Capital has started to venture into venture capital. We need to be vigilant about this. With John's monstrous abilities, Hurricane Capital's venture capital will bring even more astonishing profits. We have to be careful about this. If Hurricane Capital continues to grow, it may one day threaten Morgan."

“We all know about Hurricane Investment’s situation. There’s been a discussion on Wall Street, and everyone believes that this situation is all Lehman Brothers’ fault. If it weren’t for Lehman Brothers’ repeated provocations, Hurricane Investment wouldn’t have made this change. That’s one of the reasons I came to San Francisco. I need to talk to John. Rockefeller will be here in a few days too. Nobody wants to see John, that little fox, expand in the financial industry. Everything is in chaos now, so chaotic that everyone feels the pressure and is worried.”

At this point, Morgan paused, then said in a deep voice, "Jimmy, we'll go see that little fox John together tomorrow. No matter what changes occur in his deal with Rockefeller, we must first secure our own interests. Since he's agreed to acquire Costco and Best Buy, we should complete the deal quickly and determine the listing date for Dreamworld. Our Morgan interests cannot be affected by other reasons. What problems or ideas Rockefeller has is their own business. We've done everything we can, and we won't get involved anymore."

This is the reality of capital. Morgan was unwilling to let his relationship with Rockefeller affect his own interests, especially the listing of Dreamworld, which involved huge profits and could not be affected under any circumstances.

"Boss, I'm afraid that little fox John won't be willing. Now he has enough confidence to face us. The success of the game world has given him more ideas. It's unrealistic to go public in a short time. Based on my understanding of John, I'm afraid we'll have to wait until after the summer. That little fox might have more ideas then."

“Jimmy, what John thinks is not important. What matters is how we respond. Regardless of what others think or how they see it, we must protect our own interests from being affected. In fact, at critical moments, we can even give John, this little fox, some financial assistance. If someone on Wall Street is going to fall, we should not sacrifice others, but rather sacrifice the interests of Morgan. Genius cannot be suppressed!” Although unwilling to admit it, the Morgan tycoon had to acknowledge that John was no longer under his control. With the explosion of quantum mining, the situation was becoming increasingly difficult.

If John, the little fox, were to unite all the companies under his control, or even hand over all their bills to Honesty Bank, Honesty Bank's growth would exceed everyone's imagination. Even though John doesn't currently have any plans for large-scale expansion, Morgan has no choice but to prepare in advance.

It's fair to say that Wall Street is incredibly tense right now, all because of John's small actions and the shift in Hurricane Investment's strategy. Everyone knows Hurricane Investment's capabilities, especially since they still don't fully understand their big data analytics software, which makes them even more uneasy.

The big data analysis for Hurricane Investment is still unresolved, and now there's the big data analysis for Quantum Mining. What new big data analysis software will emerge next? It's precisely because of these concerns that they're rushing to list on Dream World!
