America: My Time

Chapter 912 The Eve of Turmoil

Chapter 882 On the Eve of Turmoil
After the exchange, John emerged unscathed, leaving those who had tried to scheme against him disappointed, especially the oil tycoons. They had witnessed firsthand just how formidable John's methods were, and many of them were clearly dissatisfied with him. If they continued to entangle themselves with John, they would only end up suffering the consequences.

Whether it's a donkey or an elephant, no one is satisfied with their actions now. It can be said that the arrogance of Youtai Capital has aroused the dissatisfaction of many people. If it were only once or twice, it could be covered up by personal grudges, but not now. Their actions have made many people hate them very much because they have crossed the bottom line.

Originally, these guys intended to secretly reveal John's plans for the large aircraft to the French so that Airbus could prepare. However, after they returned and discussed it carefully, they were shocked to discover that it was a conspiracy. John had deliberately revealed this idea so that they would tell Airbus. If they did so, they would fall into John's trap and be accused of betraying the United States. At that time, oil capital would be crushed by the combined forces of the United States.

Despite the considerable strength of Taiwanese capital in the United States, it still lags far behind American conglomerates. Moreover, if they were to betray American interests for their own selfish reasons and the benefit of Taiwanese people, they would be doomed.

"That damned John! He actually set such a trap for us. If we hadn't been careful and sat down together to discuss it, we might have been driven into an abyss of no return. This bastard is deliberately trying to frame us. And it's not just the big plane, but also the car and Er Mao's matter. We can't let any of this slip out. We have to keep it all to ourselves. We can't even mention it to our families. Otherwise, if something happens, everyone will pay a heavy price."

“I told you long ago not to continue fighting with that little fox John, but you wouldn’t listen and insisted on fighting him. Once the Paramount incident happened, there was no way we could back down from him. No matter who intervened, it wouldn’t make a difference. We did try to get Rockefeller involved, but he refused. As for Morgan, he didn’t even bother. Now we need to keep a low profile and not cause any more trouble, or the consequences will be unimaginable.”

"Alright, let's back down for now. It's definitely not the time to be enemies with that little fox John. Just look at his plans in Russia to see how terrifying he is. He's already planned everything. He was still being tolerant of us before, but after the Paramount incident, he will never trust us again, let alone cooperate with us. To be honest, we made a mistake in this matter. We underestimated this little fox's counterattack. I'm even worried that there will be more unexpected events in the Middle East. I believe you all know how much arms Australian shipping has obtained from Russia and how they've traded with those guys in the Middle East."

"What's the use of saying all this now? If you hadn't been pushing us so hard, things wouldn't have come to this. Now we can only compromise and wait for this to end. For now, we can only wait and see what happens and can't take any more action! The collapse of Russia has given that little fox John more opportunities and subjected us to more suppression!"

“We really should be more cautious. John, that little fox, revealed so many plans in front of us. It’s all a conspiracy, just waiting for us to make a move. As soon as we make a move, he will immediately seize the opportunity to deliver a fatal blow. So I advise everyone not to act rashly and not to do anything that will harm both ourselves and others!”

John didn't care what those guys at Oil Capital thought or thought, nor did he take them seriously. He had done what he needed to do, and unless they could hold back, they would fall into the trap he had set. Now, John's attention was focused on the Europeans, because a pound crisis would soon occur. Moreover, John had discovered that Rodney King's affair was not over and that someone was still pushing things in the shadows. So, everything that was going to happen would still happen, and he couldn't change the overall situation.

“John, what did you say? Are you sure someone would dare to do something like this?” When John sent his guy on vacation, his father Smith was shocked, as were the women around him. By 92, John had two more children, and another woman was pregnant. Under these circumstances, John naturally had to be careful and make arrangements for his guy before the chaos in Los Angeles began, so that he wouldn’t be in any danger.

“I’m sure this is no small matter. Although I can make comprehensive preparations, even the best preparations can have unexpected problems. As the saying goes, a wise man does not stand under a crumbling wall. Since we know that danger is about to occur, we must avoid it. My best course of action is to arrange for the children and their mother to leave San Francisco. Lanai Island is safer. At this time, there is nowhere safer than Lanai Island. Moreover, I will not stay in San Francisco. Instead, I will go to Oregon. If something happens in Los Angeles, it will trigger an even greater disaster. I am worried that Oregon will be affected. After all, many people do not want to see me in control of Oregon. It is not impossible for them to secretly sabotage me. Therefore, I need to be in charge of Oregon and wipe those guys out in one fell swoop!”

“Alright, since what you say is true, then everything will proceed according to your plan. But can Jaguar Security guarantee safety in California? You have quite a few businesses in California, especially in Silicon Valley. If something happens, there will definitely be some people with ulterior motives eyeing those businesses, and also your businesses here!” “Don’t worry, I’ve already made arrangements. Jaguar Security’s forces quietly returned before the new year. As long as those guys dare to make a move, I will teach them a profound lesson and let them know what the consequences are for opposing me. At the same time, I am also looking forward to their strike. If these guys don’t take the initiative to jump out, how will I know who my enemies are? You can rest assured about that. As long as you leave, I will have no scruples.”

"John, we don't object to your decision, but aren't you going to keep someone by your side?"

“Mother, don’t worry, I’ve made all the arrangements. Jennifer Connelly and Claudia Schiffer will stay. After all, if I send everyone away, it will make some people wary. If they sense the danger and dare not act, that wouldn’t be a good thing. I’ve been preparing for this for so long, just to see who my enemies are, who dares to cause trouble at this time. This is not as simple as it seems on the surface, and it’s not just a problem in Los Angeles. There are also people making plans in San Francisco. Just as you think, Silicon Valley is attracting a lot of attention!”

Upon hearing John's words, both Smith and Anna sighed. They understood how dangerous the situation was. If someone dared to target John at this time, it was no small matter. They couldn't let John's plans be affected.

When John arranged for his family to go on vacation and for the children to leave San Francisco, he took two beautiful women to Oregon. His reason was quite good: to find out about the global navigation company. After all, so much time had passed, and he needed to give everyone an explanation. Moreover, during this period, Bentley Group, together with GM, Ford, and Toyota, tacitly joined forces to suppress European car companies and continuously weaken their market share in North America.

Of course, Japanese car brands were also affected, but no one said anything. At least Toyota grabbed a significant share. It was reasonable for John to go to Oregon at this time to make arrangements for car navigation systems. No one suspected that John had any other ideas, nor did anyone think there was anything wrong with John.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that while John was leaving San Francisco, Jaguar Security had already quietly infiltrated various parts of California, waiting for the final moment, waiting for that crazy chaos to unfold. They believed that once something happened, those enemies would be unable to resist jumping out from the shadows one by one.

John was prepared, and the enemies were also speeding up their preparations. Morgan also sensed the danger; after all, as a long-established family and a giant on Wall Street, how could they be completely unaware of the situation?

"Boss, things are getting increasingly strange in California. Those guys have brought up Rodney King again and started causing trouble again. I'm worried things will get out of control."

"I'm also worried that things might go wrong, but there's nothing we can do. Some things are beyond our control. Since those guys want to cause trouble, let them be. I hope they don't regret it. Do they really think John is so easy to mess with? Do they really think they wouldn't notice their schemes against him? Don't you think it's unusual that John's family and children have gone to Lanai for vacation? And now John isn't in San Francisco, but in Oregon. Don't you think that's suspicious too? Don't be fooled by those rumors. The car navigation thing is all fake. He's setting things up. He wants to see who will jump out!"

“Boss, since John has already noticed something, he must have made preparations. But we haven’t found anything. And he went to Oregon. Does that mean someone would dare to attack Oregon? Do they really think John’s presence in Oregon is just for show? That guy has complete control over Oregon’s armed forces. The National Guard is completely under his control. If something happens, it will definitely be a crazy purge.”
