America: My Time

Chapter 757 Morgan's Caution

Chapter 747 Morgan's Caution
Don't be fooled by the fact that these conglomerates and old foxes only care about profit and have little regard for sentimentality. They prefer to befriend people who are loyal and righteous, and John is a prime example of such a person. Although John is a bit petty, crazy, and ruthless, his strengths are also obvious. At least John has never betrayed his friends, not even those guys from Japan. At least, you can't see any such behavior on the surface, so John's credibility is top-notch.

With John's promise, Old Bush was even happier. Of course, he couldn't just enjoy the benefits without giving anything in return. With John's promise, Old Bush would urge the White House staff to finish the matter quickly, give John a satisfactory explanation, and bring the matter to a satisfactory conclusion.

"John, what direction do you think the Japanese economy is heading? I don't want to know what the Hurricane Investment plan is. I just want to know your opinion on the Japanese economy. Although many experts know that the Japanese economy has a huge bubble, they can't come up with any countermeasures or are sure of the direction Japan is heading. So far, their semiconductor development has not been severely damaged and they still have a huge competitive advantage, which is something we are all worried about."

Instead of discussing promises with John, the old man turned directly to economic issues. The Japanese economy still made the president wary; after all, the series of crackdowns hadn't led to its decline. In particular, Japan still held a huge market share in the semiconductor industry.

"It's hard to say about Japan's economy. It's impossible for Japan to decline because of the bubble, given the size of its economy. However, the appreciation of the yen will put considerable pressure on their development, and they will have to find a solution, which we all understand. As for the semiconductor industry, Japan may have to give up some markets because of our suppression, but they will not collapse. With Japan's foundation, even if it is impacted in the chip market, it will shift to other areas. I never believed that Japan would fall because of the economic bubble. Perhaps you can plunder Japan's wealth from the financial market, but Japan is very difficult to bring down!"

Old Man John nodded in agreement with John's statement. Although his understanding of economics wasn't particularly profound, he understood the sheer size of the Japanese economy and how difficult it would be to take it over. Morgan and Rockefeller nodded thoughtfully, both sensing there was more to John's words than met the eye. Unfortunately, the occasion wasn't right, and Morgan couldn't bring himself to ask, especially not on such a significant matter.

Old Bush nodded and said, "That makes sense. Given Japan's current economic situation, we can gain some benefits from the financial market, but it's impossible to completely defeat Japan. Moreover, Japan is our ally. If we go too far, who will dare to continue following the United States in the future!"

“That’s true, but things aren’t so easy to resolve. The greed on Wall Street is obvious to everyone. When the power of the entire Wall Street is mobilized, the damage to Japan will be absolute. Even if the White House speaks up, it won’t be able to stop them, not to mention that Japan’s own economic bubble is already very serious!” Rockefeller was worried that the White House, represented by the old man, would interfere with their plans, so he quickly spoke up.

“That’s right. There’s no way to stop the power of Wall Street. After all, people’s hearts are unpredictable and they are reluctant to give up their interests. If we try to stop it by force, it will only bring more trouble!” Morgan nodded in agreement with Rockefeller’s statement. Faced with huge profits, who would care about what those guys in Japan think or care about their lives? Moreover, Morgan didn’t think that the old man would really care about those guys in Japan. It was just an excuse. Only a fool would believe it.

"Yes, it's hard to give up the profits. Who can bear to give up the huge bubble brought about by the Japanese economy? I can't give it up, and I believe many others can't either. Hurricane Investment has already started to act and can't stop. If you two want to make a move, you should make a choice as soon as possible. After all, time is limited, and we have no idea how those guys in Japan will react. If those guys really resolve the crisis brought about by the bubble, it will be difficult to plunder benefits from them again."

As soon as John finished speaking, Morgan and Rockefeller exchanged a glance, both revealing a knowing look in their eyes. John, that little fox, really wouldn't reveal his plan. Even if the old man were here, it wouldn't make any difference; this guy wouldn't share his ideas with anyone.

After a conversation with Old Bush, Rockefeller, and Morgan, John finally parted ways with them. By then, the party was coming to an end, as no one wanted to stay any longer. They were all eager to know what was going on in California and wanted to go back and find out, rather than waste their time here.

Of course, there were many things to arrange. No one dared to ignore Old Bush's warning, so they all needed to quickly resolve their own problems and extricate themselves from this crisis as soon as possible. After everyone gradually left, Morgan couldn't help but shake his head. He was also very eager to know the outcome of the situation in California. Although Morgan had made preparations, he dared not investigate John's plans or the actions of Jaguar Security Company, because he knew how serious the consequences would be. It would be easy for those security personnel to eliminate his informants and inadvertently harm his own forces.

"Jimmy, how cunning do you think John is? What's going on in California?"

"I don't know. John has become someone I hardly recognize. He exudes a terrifying killing intent. If it weren't for Old Bush and Old Martin's appearance today, the outcome would have been dangerous. Jaguar Security personnel in New York are also on the move, but they are more covert. We haven't tracked their whereabouts. If the worst happens, those old guys might be wiped out. John will kill them without hesitation!"

“Yes, John’s murderous intent is too intense right now. He’s fully prepared for the worst. Don’t be fooled by the fact that Old Man Shi has intervened and things have come to a conclusion. This won’t end until those guys fulfill their promises. So now it depends on how fast they go. Hopefully, no one makes a foolish decision. Have someone keep an eye on Lanai Island. I need to know everything. As long as John hasn’t brought the child back from Lanai Island, we must be on high alert. Security cannot be relaxed. This is no small matter; it concerns our own safety!”

“I understand. I believe no one would be foolish enough to make enemies of everyone. The President made it very clear that he represents all the beneficiaries protected by the rules. If those guys dare to hesitate, even without John's intervention, others will eliminate them and seize their assets! However, I have a slight doubt: will those guys really hand over their shares? Those are shares of the Federal Reserve!”

Hearing Jimmy's words, Morgan sighed and said, "They have no choice but to accept it. If they want things to end here, they have to accept it. Although each of their factions has considerable ability and resources, they cannot withstand the pressure from the United States, and no one will choose to stand against the US government on their behalf. If they truly don't know when to advance or retreat, and don't understand how to make choices, they will ultimately be eliminated by their own people. Don't be intimidated by those guys' past glory; this is no longer their era. If they choose to stand against the United States, I believe their own people will be the first to make a move. After all, interests move people's hearts, and no one can resist the temptation of the interests they control. Given the opportunity, they will naturally strike first."

Morgan was right. When faced with the absolute temptation of profit, no matter how powerful your family is, it's not a reason or a means to confront the US government. After all, they were the ones who made the mistake first. If they don't know how to compromise, they'll only face certain death. The US won't care if there's no reason, let alone if they have absolute evidence. If they weren't worried about things getting too big, the US government would probably have already joined forces with others to take over all those guys' businesses. When it comes to the ability to rob and seize, no one can compare to the US.

"Boss, are we going to participate in the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show tomorrow? Will John show up?"

"No need, and there's no need for it. Don't worry, that little fox John will definitely not appear at the Victoria's Secret Fashion Show tomorrow. Before things are resolved, that little fox won't stand in front of the media. If anyone is going to show up, it'll only be the beautiful woman next to him. John won't put himself in any danger."

"That's true, I was overthinking it. Everyone knows how much John values ​​his safety. Under these circumstances, why would he put himself in danger for a small Victoria's Secret show? I just hope things can be resolved quickly, otherwise the atmosphere in New York will be too heavy. Nobody knows when something unexpected might happen. Nobody is not worried about the power of Jaguar Security. As long as that force is still in New York, no one will feel at ease. Even with Old Martin around, there's no guarantee that nothing will go wrong. After all, John can remain calm, but those guys might not be able to do that. Even the slightest problem could cause the situation to spiral out of control!"
