America: My Time

Chapter 665 The Fear of Oil Capital

Chapter 655 The Fear of Oil Capital
"What do we do now? I told you not to act rashly, but you wouldn't listen. Now look what's happened. Our influence in the media has been exposed. If we don't give the public an explanation, this won't do! We not only failed to strike at them, but on the contrary, the American public is more willing to accept the current situation of Legendary Entertainment and Phoenix Media. It's much better and safer for them to be in John's hands than for them to be eroded by us."

"What's the use of saying all this now? It just shows that we made a mistake. If we do nothing, the other side will become even more aggressive. You know the situation in the Middle East. If things continue like this, the environment in the Middle East will go further and further in a direction that is unfavorable to us. This is a situation that none of us want to see. Even if there are some losses now, they are within everyone's tolerance."

"Hehe, you have no problem, but not everyone can accept it. After all, many people opposed it before it started. Your arrogance caused internal divisions and splits. You pushed the other side to the opposite side step by step. It's just that the other side remained calm and didn't say that. Otherwise, he would have blamed the stock market crash on us. Do you think the consequences would have been severe? Don't try to challenge the other side's bottom line anymore. That would be a disaster for us."

"What Rockefeller and the others said is that their plans have also been affected. The crisis in the game world has completely damaged their plans in the semiconductor industry, and they cannot accept such an outcome."

"Stop dreaming like that. The rules cannot be broken, no one can. Rockefeller won't step in for us, nor will he make a big fuss over their failed venture in the semiconductor industry. The consequences would be unbearable for them. They are safe as long as the rules are in place. Without the rules, they will be in even bigger trouble. You don't think that the Jaguar Security Company that little fox John controls is just for show, do you? I advise you not to have any improper thoughts!"

In normal business dealings, everyone relies on their own abilities. If you fail, you fail. At this time, many people are watching those old guys. Anyone who dares to do something inappropriate or outrageous will suffer a devastating blow. It won't change because of your status, because John is in the same position as them. If they dare to break the rules, they will be attacked by everyone. I believe many people are willing to seize the assets they control.

If these oil tycoons dare to take any drastic actions at this time and break the rules, they will inevitably face a purge without exception. No one will pity or sympathize with them. John is now also a member of the conglomerate. No one can break the rules. If the rules are broken, the biggest losers will be these conglomerates. Countless people will want to replace them, using any means necessary. At that time, the entire United States will descend into chaos, returning to the dark ages of the past.

For those old folks who lived through the Dark Ages, they didn't want to see such a situation happen again. It meant they would all be in danger, their families would be in danger of destruction, and the lack of rules would make everything dangerous.

“Let’s make peace. We shouldn’t continue like this. We shouldn’t pay such a price for the benefit of others. We can’t continue either, otherwise, if someone instigates it, the consequences will be unimaginable. We could all be in danger. Don’t expect anyone to protect us. There will always be some crazy people in America who shouldn’t exist. If that happens, you and I will both be in crisis. After all, we are all part of Wall Street. I don’t think those guys will step in to protect us. More people want to see us fall and then take everything from us!”

"Alright, I agree to a settlement, but we need someone to mediate. And this time, we can't expect to come away without paying a price. We'll have to pay a price. I wonder if you're prepared? This time, it won't be so easy to get the other side to back down. John is a shrewd little fox; he won't give anyone face this time."

"Let's see what they want. After all, we have no other choice now. If we drag this out any longer, we'll all face a crisis. And I strongly suspect that this is all a conspiracy. Those guys have planned it all out. They're just sacrificing some of the game world's profits to get the assets we control. If we don't know when to back down, the consequences will be severe! As for John, that little fox, he's not our enemy. We just need to sit down and talk to him. The guys hiding behind this are the ones we need to be wary of. After all, if it's really as I suspect, the consequences will be serious. This is no small matter; it involves the interests of many people. We can't be careless in the slightest!"

"Yes, things have come to this point, which is something no one wants to see or accept. We can only bite the bullet and try to reconcile with John as soon as possible. As for the situation in the Middle East, we have to give up. We can't sacrifice everything for that. Even if you and I were willing to do that, no one else would be willing to accept it!"

“I understand, but not everyone is qualified. John is no longer the same person he was back then. He has reached the top of the United States. It will be difficult for us to get him to come out and reconcile. We need the right person to do it, otherwise they will not pay any attention to us. Just like the British now, they are all cursing and blaming us oily capitalists for cheating them. It will not end until they give us an explanation!”

"Let's take it one step at a time. Right now, we need to handle things here first. At least we need to reconcile with that little fox John and get out of danger. We can't afford to be in a crisis. As for the Englishmen, those guys have the nerve to criticize us. We didn't come to them willingly; they found us first. If Downing Street tries to pin the blame on us, we won't take the fall. It's their own greed that's causing this." "That's true, but those guys are local bullies. We can't go too far, or they won't care about our identities. Those guys are cunning, and we have to be careful!"

“I will definitely get my revenge in the future. I can’t let these bastards screw me over for nothing. They were the ones who contacted us first, targeting John, that little fox. Now they’re trying to shift all the blame onto us. Do they really think we’re easy to talk to? After all this is over, I’ll settle the score with them one day!”

"Alright, now is not the time to argue with those guys. We should try to negotiate with that little fox John. It's not easy to get him to come out. We shouldn't use those guys in the entertainment industry. They're in a bad situation right now. The turmoil in the media industry will definitely affect them. Asking them to come out at this time is asking too much. What do you think of Xiao Bushen? If he comes out, there might be a chance to get that little fox John to negotiate with us."

"Identity isn't a major issue, after all, Old Man is one of Elephant's men, and they have a high chance of winning this time. However, getting him to step forward won't be easy; we'll have to pay a price. Most importantly, we have no idea how confident we are. Actually, the best choice is Morgan; Morgan is the most suitable candidate."

"Do you think I don't know? Morgan isn't on our side at all. He won't let us have a conflict with that little fox John. You know, the Los Angeles Times, which Morgan and his group control, has always been on John's side. Although they haven't directly participated in the war, they've always been protecting that little fox John. Do you think he'd step in to help us mediate at this time? And if everything before was a conspiracy, do you think Morgan might also be one of the masterminds behind it all, plotting against us? We can't trust him now."

“Even so, we need to discuss the price we have to pay beforehand. This time it won’t be as cheap as before. Do you think we can give up those resources? What does John, that little fox, lack the most?”

"Funding is out of the question. John, that little fox, is not short of money. Don't be fooled by his apparent lack of funds. Quantum Mining's sale of its mining resources to Japan this time is a huge sum of money, enough to build a mining giant, even if it's just in the low-end industry. But it will have a significant impact on the mining industry."

“That’s right. John doesn’t lack funds at all. If he needs funds, he can simply draw them from Quantum Mining!”

"No, you're wrong. John's copyright company also makes amazing profits. Many times, the funds that Quantum Mining secretly uses in its offshore company are provided by this copyright company! Unfortunately, I don't know the details of this copyright company. In short, John himself is not short of funds."

“Mines and energy are not under our control, nor are other companies. The only thing we can offer is media. After all, the two major media groups are also John the Fox’s core businesses. We’ve made too much of a scene in the media this time, so we should make a statement!”

"It's no use. Legendary Entertainment and Phoenix Group have already completed their own restructuring and will not accept it. Besides, we can't afford such a price. After all, John doesn't lack media power. In fact, we can't find any price to pay for peace talks. Without a price, there can be no result. John, that little fox, will not give up just because we bow down. Our repeated provocations have made him no longer trust us."
