America: My Time

Chapter 384 Warning of War

Chapter 384 Warning of War
"Alright, best of luck. Since you've already made preparations, we at Morgan have nothing to worry about. After all, we don't want to see anything happen to our important partners. One last piece of news: someone is planning to use NBC as a pretext, arguing that such a public television network shouldn't be in private hands and trying to force NBC to go public. This has nothing to do with Morgan, so please be prepared!"

"Thank you for the reminder, Morgan. If they really want to do this, I will definitely fight them to the end. I am no longer the person who can be suppressed at will. If they dare to cross my bottom line and break the rules, I dare to overturn the table. Unless those old guys have no problems, once I catch them, it will be a war. I don't care if this is a test from them or not. As long as they cross my bottom line and break the rules, I will consider it a war, and whoever enters the game dies. If they are not afraid of a financial war, I am happy to fight them. It seems that Lehman Brothers is not enough to make them stop. Then let's have an even bigger one. Chase Bank, MetLife, American Oil, etc. Do they really think I dare not target their core industries?!"

At this moment, John also understood Jimmy's intention and Morgan's intention. This was not only a reminder to him, but also a test. Behind this might not be those old guys like Rockefeller, but the White House. Unfortunately, he would not back down. If the other party wanted to fight, then he would fight. Now he had the strength to fight against them.

“John, I understand your anger. Morgan will always stand by your side and will also warn them that hopefully the worst will not happen. The United States cannot afford a crazy financial war!”

Unfortunately, John didn't believe a word Jimmy said. He didn't think Morgan would always stand by his side; they would only stand by their own interests. As for the warning, that was a joke. Those guys wouldn't back down when it came to profit.

After ending his conversation with Jimmy, John couldn't help but sneer. This was the cruelty of capitalism. In this world of capitalism, there was never a smooth journey; everything had to be decided by strength.

"Whoever gets involved dies. What a sly fox! It seems he's no longer hiding; he's gradually integrated into the ruthless world of capital market interests. Now that the shackles of the United States are gone, he has no more worries. He has the capital and the strength to wage a crazy financial war against those old guys. Anyone who crosses his bottom line will suffer a devastating blow. Perhaps he wants to use some people to establish his authority!"

Upon hearing Jimmy's reply, Morgan sighed and shook his head slightly. Those guys in the White House still had some ideas, but they were overthinking it. This little fox, having broken free of his shackles, was no longer influenced by anyone. He had become the eleventh conglomerate in the United States, and now all this little fox lacked was a bank.

"Boss, do you think John really dares to do this? Isn't he afraid of incurring the wrath of Wall Street?"

"No, he's not afraid at all. What is Wall Street? Those guys are all crocodiles. They only target the weak. Do you think John is a weakling in their eyes? And I'm sure that as long as those old guys cross John's bottom line, they will inevitably suffer his fatal blow. I even suspect that this might be a plan that John, the little fox, has already prepared. He wants to take this opportunity to make up for his own shortcomings. If he takes control of a powerful bank, do you think he will still be afraid of anyone? At that time, he will be a conglomerate with absolute power, a newly established conglomerate."

"Banks, this is insane! If he does this, it will definitely attract suppression from other financial groups."

"Suppression? Do you think he still cares? Do you think those guys haven't suppressed that little fox John? Now he's not afraid of a major war. A financial war would be most advantageous for him. So this time he's not just talking, he really has this idea. Most importantly, he has a lot of money in his hands now. Hughes Aerospace has billions of dollars in its account. With the help of Hurricane Investment, do you think anyone can withstand his fatal blow!"

"Hiss, this is insane! If such a major battle were to occur, it would be a storm for the entire US market. The White House cannot withstand such an impact; they will not allow such a situation to occur!"

"The White House certainly doesn't want to see this happen, but they have no say in the matter. It's not that John started this trouble; it's those old guys causing trouble. If such a major battle breaks out, many people will inevitably fall, and the entire financial market will be reshuffled. This is what most people on Wall Street are hoping for. Rockefeller and those old guys are indeed formidable, but they made a wrong decision. It's unwise to make an enemy of a little fox like John. They're too arrogant!"

"Boss, do you think John has the ability to take down Rockefeller?" Jimmy was shocked; he hadn't expected his boss to say such a thing. "It's possible. He currently holds an absolute advantage. In the financial war, John is already ahead of many others. Don't underestimate John's power in the financial market; what you see is just an illusion. This little fox is incredibly cunning. He has investment companies in Britain, Hong Kong, and Japan. What do you think these forces combined will look like? He's just waiting for an opportunity, a legitimate chance to take down a giant. Jimmy, you've underestimated John, and you've also underestimated the wisdom of many old foxes."

At this point, Morgan sighed softly, shook his head slightly, and said, "The sale of companies like Hughes, Sikorsky, and Pratt & Whitney—do you think it was just to hinder John's development? No, there's a deeper meaning. It's about currying favor with this little fox, John. As long as John succeeds, that's the benefit they're offering. Do you understand? Everything has two sides; that's the wisdom of transactions!"

Jimmy didn't understand, because these old guys' schemes were too insidious! In their eyes, a working-class person like himself was just a pawn; at least in front of their boss, his abilities were too weak.

"Boss, what should we do now? We're under a lot of pressure. Some people are already seeing Morgan as an accomplice of that little fox John, and they're secretly trying to suppress Morgan!"

"Let them be. You just need to inform the White House and those old guys Rockefeller of everything John said. It's their choice. Tell them that in this confrontation, we will always stand on the side of this little fox John. We don't have faith in those old guys!"

"Isn't this a bit too crazy? If we do this, Morgan will face even more hostility?"

"Crazy? No, not at all. To gain something, you have to give something in return. There's no such thing as getting something for nothing. If we want to get enough benefits from that little fox John, we have to show our appreciation. Besides, these old guys can now join forces to suppress John. Do you think they might turn on Morgan after they succeed? We can't think too simply; we need to consider more factors. Let's take action and let those old guys know what John is thinking. Let the White House stop having those ridiculous illusions. They've never been in control of the situation from the beginning."

When Morgan's message reached the ears of those old men, they couldn't help but gasp. This wasn't a threat from Morgan, but a real danger they were about to face. John was no longer the unknown boy they remembered; he had grown into a true tycoon. Their methods were just a joke, and their tests were useless against this little fox, John.

The White House was also dumbfounded. They didn't think there was anything wrong with Morgan's message or that it was false. John had already grown into a true tycoon. It was just that they were still stuck in the idea that John was a young man, forgetting the miracles he had created and the power he wielded. The outbreak of a financial war would be a disaster for the White House and for the United States. They dared not let such a situation happen.

"Damn Morgan, damn Rockefeller, they're too arrogant! If it weren't for these bastards, John, this little fox, wouldn't have achieved what he has today, and he wouldn't dare to ignore our existence!"

Is anger useful? Absolutely not. When the power of capital is at work, even the white house within it must retreat. Just as Morgan warned, this might be the opportunity John has been waiting for. If someone crosses his bottom line and gives him a legitimate opportunity to act, this little fox will deliver a fatal blow to his enemy with lightning speed and seize all the benefits he desires. It should be noted that the situation of many banks in the United States is not ideal. If there is an absolute reason, John will not let go of such an opportunity to expand and improve himself.

"We're completely helpless against John. He's always been playing by the rules. It's those old Rockefellers who keep causing trouble, and there are always those ignorant fools behind them. They really think we don't know anything about their situation, that we're complete idiots. Maybe we should teach him a lesson and let him know who's in charge. As his underlings, they should keep quiet. As for those old Rockefellers, a warning is enough. What those bastards do is their prerogative. If things get out of hand, we'll deal with them!"
