Chapter 266 Ideas for Change

Chapter 266 The Idea of ​​Change
“Alright, we can talk to Morgan. I believe Morgan will take this seriously. After all, those guys in Japan are constantly cooperating with this little guy John. If John really sets his investment targets overseas, it will be a huge shock and pressure for Morgan. Those guys in Japan have benefited a lot from John!”

“Indeed, Morgan is also having a headache now. Even they are unaware of the development of Dreamworld and Nvidia, and the changes in Bell Labs. With the continuous emergence of new technologies and products, Dreamworld, Nvidia, and Bell Labs have gained sufficient foundation. We can no longer afford to be careless. If we hadn’t relaxed our attention to Hurricane Investment, we might have known about the existence of this network system long ago.”

"Since everyone agrees, let's contact Morgan again. Besides, the financing is about to begin, and we can't let those guys from Japan take away our profits. We can join forces to drive those guys from Japan away!"

“That makes sense. If we all work together, it will be worth any price to pay in this fundraising effort. Look at the gaming world now, the profits are too tempting. The market value is almost doubled. To be honest, I even considered killing that guy who went to raise funds in the first place. If it weren't for his ignorance, we wouldn't have suffered such a loss!”

Faced with the current state of the gaming world, those Wall Street tycoons who participated in the financing back then must be furious and heartbroken. Now that Dream World has the same potential as Nvidia, how can these guys not go crazy for it?

"I'm afraid Morgan has already reached an agreement with that little fox John. Even if we step in, it won't make a difference. Morgan and his ilk are unwilling to give up their own interests!"

"Impossible. Morgan wouldn't do that. This is a financing deal between Dreamworld and Nvidia. How could John, that little fox, possibly sacrifice his own interests? Their relationship is purely based on mutual benefit. If there were any conflict of interest, they would definitely go their separate ways immediately."

"We have no other choice now. We were hoping that official orders would force this guy to release his patent licenses, so that IBM and Intel could use this mechanism to counterbalance him. Now it seems that our plan has completely failed. Under these circumstances, we can only consider other options."

"Have you all heard the news? John is having Morgan and his team look for an aircraft dismantling plant. Does that sound familiar to you?"

"You mean this kid wants to develop in the aviation industry? It's not impossible. This kid was able to forcibly take Cathay Pacific from those guys in Britain before. Because of our suppression, this kid doesn't dare to make any rash moves, so it's reasonable for him to want to acquire a dismantling plant first."

"So our opportunity has come. We can help him acquire an airline. The situation of major airlines in the United States is not very good right now. This is our opportunity. Last time we were able to complete the sale of Sikorsky. This time, as long as we are fast enough, we can take over an airline and hand it over to that little fox, John."

"That's a good idea, but I think we should be cautious. After all, an airline is no small matter. If Morgan finds out, it could very well be a disaster for us!"

"No, I think it's feasible. Even if it fails, it doesn't matter. The airline merger has already begun. Even if John doesn't want to take it over, we can find other buyers. If he does, we can not only continue to improve relations but also earn more income. Why not do it!"

“That makes sense. I have two targets for airlines, both quite good, and both in trouble, making them the easiest to target. We can completely drain this kid’s funds!”

"Go ahead and tell us. Since you're already prepared, I'm sure you won't let us down!"

"Two companies: one is West Air, headquartered in California, which would be easy for John to manage; the other is Pan Am, which is currently in dire straits, continuously losing money, yet these guys are still frantically trying to buy new planes. I'm at a loss for words. If we could dump these two airlines on John, most of his funds would vanish instantly, relieving us of much pressure!" The plan was indeed tempting, but getting this young man to acquire two struggling airlines would be extremely difficult. After all, John wasn't a fool; he wouldn't acquire them without doing his due diligence. Moreover, with Morgan involved, such an acquisition could easily go awry. Airlines aren't military enterprises like Sikorsky; wasting money on them is counterproductive, a fact John surely understood.

These old guys all had their worries. They all understood that doing all this was not an easy task, and that they could easily ruin it if they weren't careful, because these were two airlines in trouble. Although they had a lot of assets, they also had a lot of loans.

"I'll say it again: we should be cautious. If you all really have this idea, I won't participate. This isn't an ordinary company; one wrong move and it could be ruined. John has clearly become wary of us, so the chances of success aren't great. If things were really that simple, Morgan wouldn't have remained silent. After all, John wants an aircraft dismantling plant, not an airline!"

"I know it's an airline, but John is definitely interested in entering the aviation industry. If he didn't have this idea, why would he have forced those guys in Britain to acquire Cathay Pacific? As long as he has the idea, our plan has a chance of success. If we don't even dare to take this risk, how can we limit this kid's development! If he puts all his energy into the development of semiconductors and communications, it will have a significant impact on us. Don't forget, we haven't finished splitting Bell Labs yet, so we can't let this kid go any further in the communications field! I believe no one wants to face John's crazy attacks right after splitting Bell Labs. With Bell Labs' capabilities, who knows what amazing products will appear next?"

Bell Labs is a sore spot for these old guys. None of them expected that handing Bell Labs over to John would bring such trouble and shock. None of them expected the situation to be so bad. After taking over Bell Labs, under John's guidance, Bell Labs has unleashed such power, which is even more terrifying than when it was in the hands of Bell Corporation. Now, even if they wanted to take it back, it would be impossible.

"What do you all know about Bell Labs' mobile communication technology? Does it have great potential? If it expands in the United States, could it become a formidable competitor to us after Bell Labs is broken up?"

"Such a situation is unlikely to occur in the short term, after all, Bell Labs focuses on mobile communications, and Motorola is also conducting research. However, it's hard to say whether it will have any long-term impact, as we are not familiar with Bell Labs' technology!"

“There must be someone in Bell who understands this technology. We can definitely send someone to learn about it. However, judging from the reaction of those guys in Japan, it might be a good product. Otherwise, they wouldn’t be in such a hurry to sign a cooperation agreement with this kid John to jointly establish a joint venture in Japan. Without sufficient benefits, how could those guys in Japan react so quickly and catch us off guard!”

“The White House is already dissatisfied with us, so we have to make changes and give them face. There’s no need to go against them on this issue; it won’t do us any good. We still need their help for some things, so I think it’s feasible. Even if we fail, it’s not a big deal. Large airlines like this can always find other buyers. With our combined strength, we can definitely acquire them at the lowest possible price. The risk isn’t too great.”

“I have a feeling this is a conspiracy, a conspiracy by John or even Morgan against us. Otherwise, we wouldn’t know Morgan’s actions so easily. We should be careful about this.”

"Even if it's a conspiracy, as long as Morgan doesn't cause trouble, we can easily take over these two airlines and make another deal with that kid John. I agree to the acquisition of the two airlines, and if necessary, we can also clean things up so that the kid won't be under so much pressure!"

It has to be said that the collaboration between Japan and John has once again put pressure on these old guys. Despite their claims of giving face to the White House, they are actually unwilling to see John's rapid expansion overseas or its larger investments abroad. If John completes its overseas layout first, the US will face even more pressure, which is not a good thing.

"Gentlemen, we don't have much time. We need to make a decision quickly. We can't wait until John has used up all his funds. By then, it will be too late. I've heard that he has already set his sights on Canada and Mexico and reached mining agreements with them. It's clear that he's abandoning his mining plans in the United States and focusing his efforts overseas. This is not a good thing for us."
