America: My Time

Chapter 336 Morgan's Determination

Chapter 336 Morgan's Determination
It's no wonder that Morgan thinks this way. The business world is like a battlefield. To eliminate their opponents, those guys will do anything. Sacrificing a little profit is nothing. Especially the sale of Pratt & Whitney, Sikorsky, Pan Am, and all of these deals. There might be a dark hand manipulating everything behind the scenes!
There are also conflicts of interest between conglomerates. It is understandable that Morgan is now on guard. After all, those guys are too quick to break their promises. One minute they say they want peace and to resolve their disputes, and the next minute they are secretly causing trouble and continuing to obstruct John. All of this makes Morgan cautious and he has to take it seriously!
"Jimmy, if we work as fast as we can, how long will it take to get John, that little fox, a medical center? We don't need anything too powerful, just average is fine!" Morgan quickly made up his mind. For a big shot like him, decisiveness was never lacking, and he didn't think it was a waste of time.

"Boss, our capabilities in this area are limited. It will probably take quite a while to achieve this, at least a month. After all, medical companies like this have too many problems, and we need time to understand them!"

“A month is too long, we can’t wait. I have a feeling that John, that little fox, is secretly setting up a scheme that we haven’t noticed yet. Perhaps he has already almost finished setting it up.”

"No way, even if John used funds from Honest Bank and East West Bank, it's impossible for him to hide so much power, unless he has other powers that we don't know about, or he received help from his family and hid even more power, and he's been doing this from the very beginning!"

"Jimmy, any established family possesses a foundation that's hard for ordinary people to imagine, especially a family like the Chambeyard family. They might not be well-known to the American public, but their resources are considerable, and no one dares to ignore them. John, this little fox, is so cunning; getting their help isn't impossible! Since we're going to stand with John, this time we'll go all out and give him the greatest support. After this, John won't easily expand within the US anymore. Now that he's on guard, he'll focus all his efforts on overseas expansion. Those old guys are probably going to miscalculate. They think they're so powerful, but after John saw through them, it's all just a joke!"

"Boss, if we're going to do this, we'll need to use a lot of manpower and connections. Should we discuss it with the board of directors? Will making this decision on our own cause dissatisfaction from the board?"

"So what if they're dissatisfied? We can't tell anyone right now. We need to get everything sorted out first. We'll tell those guys after we succeed. Don't think that the previous purge has really eliminated all the hidden dangers within Morgan. There are no secrets on Wall Street. Once a third party finds out, the whole of Wall Street will know in no time. Those guys may have interests in Morgan, but they also have interests in other areas. It's no big deal for them to betray Morgan's interests for their own benefit. There are plenty of bastards like that!"

"But what should we do if the board members ask us about it?"

"There are no buts. If they ask you, pretend you know nothing. If they insist on knowing, tell them to come to me. I don't know what John's ultimate scheme is, or what his hidden plans are, but one thing is certain: this little fox definitely has many plans and calculations. If any industry is restricted, it won't affect his development. He will choose another industry. That's the reason why that little fox has diversified his investments. He has long thought about what kind of situation he will face and has long been on guard against those old guys and the White House."

Seeing Jimmy's shocked expression, Morgan continued, "Isn't it unbelievable? This is exactly what happened. That's how John, that little fox, arranged it. At first, everyone was deceived by his youth, thinking he was young and impetuous, knowing nothing, just ambitious and eager for quick success. But it was all a facade. Now his plan has succeeded. Retail, apparel, hotels and real estate, entertainment and media, automobiles, semiconductors, aviation, mining, and now pharmaceuticals and energy—who do you think can completely shut down all these companies?"

"No one can do it. No one can be a boss like that. Even Rockefeller and his ilk couldn't do it. Actually, we should add another financial figure now. John also has terrifying strength in finance."

"Indeed, we should add finance to the mix. He seems to be avoiding finance, not wanting to break ties with those old guys, but that's just a facade. He already has considerable influence overseas. Those old guys appear united, but they're all only thinking about their own interests; their so-called unity is a joke. We can't make a big move in the energy sector; John doesn't have the resources for it, and even if we gave him an opportunity, he'd struggle to seize it. After all, Rockefeller is the real giant in energy. However, we can fully support him in the pharmaceutical sector. We can package up those promising companies and hand them over to this little fox, John, so he can fight those old guys!"

"Hiss!" Upon hearing these words, Jimmy couldn't help but gasp. This method was too insane.

"Boss, is this appropriate? Will John the fox accept this? Won't he think we're deliberately setting him up? Will it make us even more suspicious of him?" Jimmy voiced his concerns. "No, because I'll talk to him personally and tell him everything. Since Morgan has already been secretly sidelined by those old guys, there's no need for us to hide anything. Let's just confront John the fox directly. We're after profits, while John the fox is after growth. Since Dreamworld and Nvidia are determined to go public, we naturally want to get the most profits. We can directly become the second-largest shareholder of these two companies, no longer needing to give those old guys face or profits. Morgan isn't afraid of them, nor is he afraid of war."

At this moment, Morgan was filled with boundless fighting spirit. Since the situation had come to this point, and since those old guys were all trying to scheme against Morgan and couldn't stand to see him do well, Morgan didn't need to care about their feelings or share profits with them. Even if they tore off the mask, it wouldn't matter.

At this moment, Jimmy understood that his boss had made up his mind and was no longer willing to compromise. Morgan had no need to compromise either. They were both giants and conglomerates. Who was afraid of whom? Morgan had enough strength to protect himself and was not afraid of any enemy's schemes.

"Let's get moving and take over every pharmaceutical company we can get our hands on. This time we don't need to hold back at all. I believe that little fox John has a backup plan in the dark, and he's probably prepared overseas as well. If I'm not mistaken, it's either Taiwan or Japan. These two places are the easiest for him to succeed."

Just as Morgan and Jimmy were discussing their next move, the phone rang. It was Rockefeller calling, and Rockefeller's anger was palpable as he accused Morgan of disregarding the bigger picture and being too self-serving.

"Heh, Rockefeller, do you think we Morgan owe you anything? We have no obligation to protect your interests. Morgan has done everything we could, but what have you done? The representative you sent didn't even have the slightest bit of guts, not even this small amount of authority. It just shows how arrogant and self-important you are. If he had any guts at all, he would have called you on the spot, and things wouldn't have come to this. Now you want to blame us? What a joke. Since you think we're too self-serving, then Morgan will not participate in anything from here on out. This is your deal with John."

At this point, Morgan showed Rockefeller no respect whatsoever. If Rockefeller hadn't realized the scheme, Morgan might have at least shown them some decency. But now, Morgan was completely unconcerned and directly slapped Rockefeller in the face. In the struggle for interests, Morgan would not continue to concede, nor was there any need for him to.

With just one sentence, Rockefeller understood that something must have gone wrong with Morgan. Perhaps they had discovered something, otherwise their attitude wouldn't have changed so quickly. Moreover, that bastard Morgan even went to San Francisco in person to meet that little fox John. Perhaps things were about to change, and many of their schemes were about to be exposed.

"Morgan, what do you mean by this? Are you trying to kick me out after I've served my purpose?"

"Hmph, I'm kicking away the ladder after I've crossed it. Think about what you've done. If you have no sincerity, don't mention cooperation again. Morgan won't participate in or care about your deal with that little fox John. If you're so capable, then convince that little fox John yourself. If you're not, then you can only accept your bad luck. Opportunity favors the prepared. You're not prepared at all, and you only want to gain an advantage from Morgan. That's impossible."

"As expected, Morgan really did realize it. It seems the situation is developing in the worst possible direction!" Upon hearing Morgan's reply, Rockefeller couldn't help but sigh. Although he wanted to explain something and resolve the conflict with Morgan, he couldn't say anything. Morgan wasn't stupid. Once he realized the many problems behind this, their cooperation had come to an end. This guy wouldn't give Rockefeller any more face.

The cooperation talks fell apart, and Morgan had his own ideas. He wanted to leave Rockefeller and the others behind and act alone. There were too many problems behind this, which was a huge trouble for the old guys like Rockefeller. This unexpected change made him feel extremely heavy-hearted, and he even worried that Morgan might betray everyone!
