Chapter 644 Neon's Response

Chapter 634 Neon's Response
“I can stay here!” At this moment, Sachiko Kamachi refused John’s offer. As soon as she said this, a bitter smile appeared on John’s face, and Hitomi Kuroki also smiled. This reminded her that she and Naoko had also made the same refusal.

"Sachiko, the record company and agency are both in Minato Ward, so just listen to me!" Naoko quickly pulled her back, stopping her from continuing. This girl's antics were getting out of hand!

"Sit down, everyone!" Seeing that Yasuko Sawaguchi and the others were still standing there, John gestured for them to sit down.

After everyone was seated, John continued, "Akiko, since the Mitsui project isn't finished yet, you can talk to the people who worked on the Mitsui project if you have any ideas for renovations. Let them renovate your homes according to your wishes. Don't have any reservations. If you miss this opportunity, who knows when you'll be able to redecorate again!"

"Okay, I'll arrange it. But what about Akina? She's still in the hospital." Although Akina wasn't present, Kuroki Hitomi hadn't forgotten about her and still asked John! She couldn't forget something like this because of a momentary oversight; that would offend people and lower her standing in John's eyes. Kuroki Hitomi wouldn't do something so foolish!

"Let's talk about Akina after she's discharged from the hospital. Besides, her original house is no longer suitable for living. Have it demolished and redesigned, and let her choose a new place in Setagaya. If you have any ideas about the house here, change it according to your own wishes. Everything should be based on your own opinion, and don't consider other people's opinions!"

Upon hearing John's words, everyone was surprised. Although Akina's garden had been built several years ago, it didn't need to be demolished. This surprised them, and they found John's intentions hard to understand. In the minds of these beauties, it was completely unnecessary. Even if it was because of Akina, it could have been renovated, but John wanted to tear it all down and start over, which they couldn't comprehend.

These beauties naturally couldn't understand John's intentions, but once this news came out, those guys in Japan would know John's purpose: to start over from scratch. This was a signal to them. What they could glean from it depended on their own thoughts and beliefs. As for John's thoughts, that was just a warning to those guys in Japan.

“Naiboko, you can also renovate your property according to your wishes!” At this moment, John also thought of Naiboko’s garden, which was not built according to her own wishes in the future.

Naoko shook her head and said, "It's fine as it is, no need to renovate it anymore." Naoko had a special feeling about her garden and didn't want to change it. Not only Naoko, but Kuroki Hitomi and even Sachiko didn't share this idea. However, the others thought differently; they preferred to redecorate and renovate according to their own preferences.

After making some arrangements for these minor matters, John talked to the beauties about Akina and the issues behind her. As for what they would do, John didn't know, since his understanding of these beauties was still limited.

"Zhaozi, this afternoon you and Cuiyu go to the hospital to see Akina and ask if she has any important items in her residence. Also, have Sachiko take over the security personnel there as soon as possible to avoid any awkward situations after she is discharged."

"Are you sure that little fox John wants to demolish and rebuild Nakamori Akina's property?" When Riko heard this news, although she felt there was no problem, her instinct still made her choose to tell Akio Morita, lest she lose Akio Morita's trust due to a momentary oversight and cause the situation she had worked so hard to build to collapse.

"Yes, I can confirm it. I heard what Hitomi Kuroki said at the hospital, and Akina's security detail will also be changed. The security personnel who are currently with her have been transferred to Sachiko Kamachi!"

"It seems that little fox John is using us as a warning, to start over from scratch. What a great idea! He's warning us that he has the ability to overturn the table at any time. It seems that this guy has not accepted our words at all. Chieko's appearance and her admission have not made this little fox accept it!" At this moment, Akio Morita had understood John's intention: to start over from scratch.

Akio Morita's words made Riko realize the thinking of these big shots. They always thought of everything as a conspiracy. Even the most normal things in her eyes were labeled as conspiracies. But after thinking about it carefully, there was some truth to what he said. After all, this was the world of the big shots, which was different from the world she was familiar with. She didn't know what these big shots were thinking!
"Should I verify this with Naoko? After all, this is just Kuroki Hitomi's opinion!" "No need. You think she said these things herself? It's all John the fox's doing. There's no mistake about it. Besides, if you ask Naoko, that little fox will only think I'm stupid for not understanding his warning! There are many things you can't ask about; you have to experience them yourself. If you can't experience anything, it just means you're not capable enough. Nobody wants to cooperate with someone who's not capable enough!"

"Do I still need to go to the hospital to help? I feel like Chieko and Akina are looking at me with some fear in their eyes!"

"No need. They're not stupid; they naturally understand that you have ulterior motives. Since that's the case, it's better not to add to their burden. Spend your time chatting with Naoko and going shopping. Now is not the time for you to do anything. What follows will be negotiations between us, and you can't interfere! As soon as Nakamori Akina is discharged from the hospital, that's when we'll sit down and talk!"

It was just an accident, yet it involved such complicated calculations and schemes. Riko couldn't help but sigh. She was really not used to this situation, but there was nothing she could do. After all, her fate was in Akio Morita's hands, and if she wanted to live a good life in the future, she could only face all this pressure.

Soon, all of this came to the attention of the bigwigs in Japan. John's attitude angered many people. At this time, the Japanese were not fond of the Americans. These guys had always been wary of John, and now that they knew about this plot, how could they accept it? Naturally, they were all extremely angry.

"We cannot compromise, we cannot allow them to be so arrogant. If they try to overturn the table now, how will we handle things if something else happens in the future? We absolutely cannot accept that!"

"If you don't accept it, then according to your opinion, you should confront them head-on and have a showdown. This whole mess was caused by Mitsui, and it's already quite generous of us to help you clean it up. If Mitsui is capable, then we'll pretend we never said anything and let you handle it yourselves. As long as it doesn't affect us, everything will be fine, and no one will care. If you can't handle it well, then you'll have to back down!"

The other business leaders were very dissatisfied with Mitsui's performance. After all, it was Mitsui who caused all of this. Although there was no concrete evidence, no one sitting here was a fool. They all knew that there must be some shady dealings behind this. It was just a pity that Mitsui messed things up.

"We don't really have any thoughts on this matter. If the other party exposes us, it won't affect us much. After all, they are not unreasonable people and won't target us. But it's different for Mitsui. Everyone is here now. If you insist, we have nothing to say. You can handle everything yourselves, just don't involve others. The Toshiba incident cannot happen again, otherwise you will bear all the consequences!"

Many business tycoons are very dissatisfied with Mitsui. These guys don't know how to back down or compromise. One thing after another, they keep causing trouble. If this continues, it will also affect them. Nobody wants to be implicated by Mitsui.

“That’s right. If Mitsui can handle everything, then we don’t need to scheme and worry about this or that. We don’t need to hold the party anymore, since it has nothing to do with us. Even if there are any problems in the future, they won’t involve us!”

"Alright, enough said. This matter is indeed very disadvantageous for us. Although you've come up with a passable reason, it's obvious the other side has seen through it. At this point, saying anything else is useless; it's best to end it as soon as possible. Isn't Akio Morita busy with this matter? Let him handle it. This is just the beginning of their probing. We can't panic over such a small matter. Don't you all think that the Americans' infighting is a good opportunity for us?"

The contest between John and those old guys like Rockefeller couldn't be kept secret from anyone. After all, the game world had already made its move, and now Nvidia, Bell Labs, Dream World, and ASUS had joined forces to fight back with even more formidable methods. This naturally gave the Japanese a different perspective, with many feeling that this might be their chance, their opportunity to rebel.

The opportunity certainly exists, but it's unlikely that these guys from Japan will be able to seize it. At the very least, they can't get around John, Dreamworld, Nvidia, or Bell Labs. John has always held the initiative in this amazing scheme. If these guys from Japan want to share in the benefits, they need John's approval; otherwise, they won't get anything!
