America: My Time

Chapter 583 US Strategy
Chapter 573 US Strategy

When John returned to the United States from France, the Europeans breathed a sigh of relief. Fortunately, John had not expanded wildly in France as well. Many people were worried that John, the little fox, would continue to expand with the help of Japanese funds. Although Hurricane Investment and Standard Chartered Bank had concealed it well, their bottom-fishing behavior was still noticed.

Many people thought John was planning a major offensive in Europe, a decisive blow, but unexpectedly, things took a sudden turn, and he returned directly to the United States. Some were disappointed, some were happy, but none of them realized that John was using the stock market crash as an opportunity to continue his strategic maneuvering. They were now focused on the developments in Britain, where the British had benefited greatly from the influx of massive funds, resolving many of their difficulties. However, no one realized that this massive influx of funds was also part of a financial strategic maneuver.

"Phew! Thank goodness, none of those guys came to cause trouble this time. It seems those old guys really succeeded in suppressing all dissenting voices, and even the White House had to compromise. I just wonder if they can succeed next. What will those old guys' reaction be if I bring up mobile communications at this time!" As John returned home from the airport, a wonderful plan came to mind.

Raising the issue of mobile communications and the situation in Europe at this time and under these circumstances might be difficult for some people to resist, given that the mobile communications market is already quite good. With the rapid development of Global Online, the United States already has millions of users, which has already had a significant impact on the entire market.

Lost in his own thoughts, John unknowingly returned to the manor. The busy journey left him feeling somewhat weary. Many people only see his glamorous side, failing to see the price he had to pay behind the scenes. Even with his extraordinary memories, success isn't guaranteed simply because you have them.

"Brother, a present! My present!" Just as John sat down, his younger sister Eva ran over excitedly, demanding a present, breaking the awkward atmosphere at home. John always prepared a gift for his family before going out, and this time was no exception. However, Eva's behavior this time was a little unusual, which startled John.

“Eva, your gift will arrive soon! What’s going on at home? What are you talking about?” John asked, noticing the somewhat awkward atmosphere.

Upon hearing John's words, Smith sighed and said, "It's about Allen. He's going to college next year, and we wanted him to stay in California and attend Stanford, which is closer to home, but he insisted on choosing Georgetown University!"

John smiled calmly and said, "There's nothing wrong with that. Georgetown University is a cradle of politicians. If Allen is interested in going down this path, isn't that great? He can experience the atmosphere there firsthand. I don't see anything wrong with that!"

“John, the atmosphere in the family isn’t very good right now, and we don’t want Allen to get involved!”

“The family is the family, and Allen is Allen. They are not the same thing at all. And even if Allen is involved, so what? There is no rule that prevents Allen from participating in the family business, and no one stipulates that Allen is not allowed to compete for the position of patriarch. Besides, all of this is still a long way off, and there is no need to worry about it. I don’t think there is any problem! It just so happens that I have a manor near the White House, so I will leave it to Allen!” Although John understood his parents’ concerns, he did not think there was any problem with it.

Considering that even the unreliable Trump could successfully run for office in later generations, why couldn't Allen do the same if he was capable? So John didn't care and didn't think there was anything wrong with it. He could only say that his parents had been away from that circle for a long time and didn't want their children to get involved anymore, especially since there was constant infighting within the family.

John's persuasion finally brought the matter to a close. Many people say that American parents are unwilling to pay for their children's college education, believing that children should be independent by the age of 18. But that's all a lie, just a way to fool the public. The children of wealthy people all go to prestigious universities, and their parents pay for their education. It's just a result of ordinary people being fooled, and it's a propaganda tactic by those who are worried that someone will take their place.

"Brother, I want one too!" Eva couldn't help but step forward and ask John for a treat!
“Okay, when you go to college, your brother will prepare a manor for you.” John said calmly, patting Eva’s head. A manor was no burden for him at the moment. When he heard John mention the manor, Smith said, “John, we’re moving there in a few days after the manor is finished. But is it really necessary? Is San Francisco that dangerous?”

At John's urging, he also rebuilt a solid and sturdy property in San Francisco, which many people found crazy and hard to accept, as they thought the behavior was too risky!
"Yes, absolutely. In my opinion, this is the best protection for ourselves. As the saying goes, a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall. San Francisco is in an earthquake zone, so how can we not prepare in advance? Even if there is only a one in ten thousand chance, I will make the greatest preparations and take the worst precautions to deal with any possible crisis. Not only in San Francisco, but also in my real estate in Japan, and my estate in California has been reinforced! Better safe than sorry, and we are not short of money, so it is always good to be more prepared!"

Speechless, Smith could only sigh after hearing John's explanation. In his opinion, John was good in every way, except that he was too cautious and overly concerned about his own safety, which was completely unnecessary. The United States was not that dangerous, nor did it require such extreme caution.

In many people's eyes, John was just too afraid of death, but if they knew how chaotic the United States would become in the future, they wouldn't have such thoughts. That was the first day of true freedom in America!
Smith quickly had to change the subject, saying, "John, how's the situation in Europe? Is it having a big impact? Your businesses there must have suffered considerable losses, right? At this time, with your frantic expansion in Britain, didn't you consider the potential negative reactions? Aren't you worried about trouble in the US?"

"The situation in Europe is indeed very bad, at least in my opinion. Although Britain is accelerating the privatization process under the Iron Lady's leadership, this cannot solve their fundamental problems. Among all of Europe, only West Germany is in the best situation, but this is only because West Germany has received strong support from the United States. Moreover, Germans are more pragmatic than other Europeans. It's just that the timing is wrong, otherwise I would like to visit Germany and take a look. As for Gulfstream's expansion in Britain, there is nothing that can be done. Those guys have been watching me all along, and they are even doing everything they can to suppress Gulfstream. In order to get rid of the restrictions, this is the only way. There is no other way."

Gulfstream Aerospace can only have some freedom by stepping outside the US sphere; otherwise, those guys will continue to target Gulfstream Aerospace, which is not the outcome John wants to see. Now that they have a factory in Britain, they can move around more freely and are not affected by those guys.

"Take some time to sit down and talk to them. Continuing like this is not good for either of you!"

“I don’t want this either, but those guys have no integrity whatsoever. I’ve given them more than once, but they’ve all chosen to betray me and stand on the opposite side. I can’t give up my interests in the Middle East just because they exist, and they don’t have the right to make me give up such enormous profits. Has someone from the family said something again? They’ve all been used by those guys, and perhaps this is their choice!”

John wasn't entirely unaware of the situation within his family, but he disapproved of the actions of many within the family. They claimed to be acting in the family's best interests, but in reality, they were only acting in their own self-interest. So, expecting John to back down was wishful thinking on their part, and John paid no attention to their opinions.

Although the donkey was jumping around excitedly at this point, they had no chance of succeeding. John was well aware of this, not only because of his memories of the future, but also because he could see it from the current situation. American financial groups were now seeking stability and wanting the big players to continue in power, because they didn't want their hard work to fail. Their plans for Russia, Europe, Japan, and the Middle East were all nearing completion; they couldn't possibly let everything spiral out of control.

The United States' grand strategy does not allow the Donald to take power, at least not until all of this is resolved. John understands this very clearly. Only by truly understanding how ruthless the Americans are and how crazy their overseas plans are can one realize that the Donald has absolutely no chance. Therefore, John does not take the Donald seriously at all, nor does he care about the Donald's provocations.

At this critical juncture, no one can disrupt those old guys' plans. John also dares not provoke their bottom line, otherwise he would not be able to withstand the public's wrath. Therefore, John selectively backs down and even takes the initiative to go overseas to lay out plans, avoiding the old guys' sharp edge and accumulating strength little by little. Compared to these old guys, John is still far behind, after all, their foundation is too strong!
