Chapter 689 Analyzing the Situation

Chapter 679 Analyzing the Situation

Morgan quickly came to his senses, shook his head, and said, "It seems I was too hasty and got affected. Even if we step in now, it won't make a difference. John won't agree, and listing a company like this requires a lot more preparation. We're not ready yet!"

Morgan was indeed unprepared for this, and he hadn't anticipated the astonishing changes brought about by the advent of the internet age. Not only was Morgan shocked, but the old guard was equally astonished. Even without Nvidia's collaboration with Japan on game consoles, the impact of the internet age could have propelled Nvidia to new heights.

This is the difference between them. They thought they had seen through John's schemes, but they didn't realize John was far more formidable than they imagined. At least in the field of personal computers, their vision was far inferior; they were on completely different levels. Is the cash flow crisis John speaks of truly real? Perhaps the crisis John talks about is just the beginning of his retreat behind the scenes, simply to prevent his enemies from having a chance, or perhaps it's a new test.

If John only had this one scheming, Morgan wouldn't believe it. The more he understood John's plans, the more he realized how dangerous and terrifying John was. It seemed that he had suffered a considerable loss in the previous deals with those old guys, but as the situation continued to develop, things did not develop as he had expected. In this series of transactions, John did not fall into crisis.

"Jimmy, do you think John, that little fox, has only this much planned in the semiconductor field? Or does he have other schemes?" At this moment, Morgan thought of Jimmy again, wanting to hear his opinion, which might be helpful to him.

"Based on my understanding of John, he probably has more than just this one method. He has other plans. From Nvidia's explosive growth to ASUS's full-scale expansion, it can be said that he has made arrangements in advance. John hasn't unleashed his power in the gaming field yet, and his agreement with those Rockefeller guys is not to be underestimated. Not to mention that those guys in Japan are also having inappropriate thoughts. How could this little fox not have a plan? I think Nvidia will have another explosive growth, and even ASUS will have another explosive growth. It just takes time, and those guys in Japan need to actively get involved."

"That's right. Now, it has surpassed IBM in personal computers, workstations, minicomputers, and servers. If Dreamworld and Nvidia and ASUS weren't not part of the same company, they would probably be facing antitrust pressure. It can be said that John thought of all this from the beginning and prepared to deal with the crisis. No one would have believed that ASUS would have achieved what it has today and have such a terrifying growth rate. Most importantly, it is not an American company, but a Taiwanese company, and it will not be able to go public, at least not for a long time."

"Boss, are you worried that John's overseas companies won't choose to go public?" At this moment, Jimmy immediately understood his boss's concerns. If that were the case, things would be a bit troublesome. Many people would have 'opinions' or 'ideas' about John, and Morgan would also be under considerable pressure.

"Judging from the current situation, he has been making such arrangements and preparations all along. He has always been wary of those old guys. To date, Dreamworld and Nvidia are still under his control. Even as time goes by and he continues to release shares, he will not give those old guys any opportunity to take advantage. His funds are not just for show. And don't you think John, that little fox, has too many investments overseas? If it weren't for the problems in Europe, his assets in the United States would probably only be one-third of his total assets now."

"No way, he can't possibly put the majority of his money overseas. If something goes wrong overseas, the consequences would be unimaginable." At this moment, Jimmy was very shocked by his boss's statement, but he also felt a strange sense of agreement.

"No, there's nothing he can't do. Europe is part of his strategy, and it's one-third of his assets. Asia is another part. As long as it's not listed, he can split up his assets at any time. Don't be fooled by the fact that Western Energy is an American company. He can split it into several companies whenever he wants. That's why that little fox was determined to get involved in the North Sea oil fields and join the British privatization process to compete with them for profits. Resources should never be underestimated, and John's plans are becoming increasingly aggressive, especially in energy and mining, which is quite unpredictable."

"Boss, are you worried about Quantum Mining's expansion in the Americas? They've sold so many mines, even world-class ones. Are you worried they're completing a new round of expansion?" Having worked with his boss for so long, Jimmy instantly understood his concerns. John's mines were undergoing rapid restructuring, with a fast-tracking of gold-copper, iron ore, and uranium mining operations, integrating mining and manufacturing. "Now Quantum Mining has acquired Maple Leaf Aluminium. You should understand what that means. It's a further upgrade for Quantum Mining. With Quantum Steel, primarily based in China, Quantum Aluminium, primarily based in Canada, and metallurgy... what direction do you think Quantum Mining is heading?"

"It's about significant depth, shifting from pure mining to higher-level manufacturing. Quantum Mining isn't actually a US company; they don't have many assets in the US!"

Upon hearing Jimmy's answer, Morgan nodded: "That's right. Now, that little fox John is preparing to go to China to investigate the market again. What do you think he'll do? Won't he be tempted by China's high labor costs? He's been laying the groundwork in China for so long; what kind of investments do you think he'll make this time? Also, Quantum Mining's manufacturing focus will be Asia, more precisely, China. What's the situation with Western Energy? Now that little fox John has acquired quite a few oil fields in the US, and he's increasing his investments in Asia and Australia? What do you think is the reason he has an oil refinery in Japan?"

"Technology? He wants to acquire more technology from the Japanese?" At this moment, Jimmy understood John's plan and why the other party valued the Japanese oil refinery so much. It was all for technology. It has to be said that Japan's petrochemical technology is very advanced. If they could fully understand the Japanese technology, Western Energy would probably make further progress.

"Indeed, it's all about technology. I have to admit, this little fox's strategy is brilliant, step by step, it's admirable. To be honest, thanks to the deals with the Russians, John has already acquired a considerable amount of technology. Now, with his extensive network, he'll quickly digest this technology and convert it into his own production capacity. Do you think John's concessions to those Japanese guys were unconditional? He's using a strategic retreat to advance, getting everything he wants. He doesn't have much real estate left in Japan now. Despite Japan's repeated probing, he hasn't launched a fierce counterattack, a completely different attitude from his attitude towards the British. Don't you see anything about that?" At this point, Morgan turned his gaze to Jimmy, awaiting his reply.

"It's about winning people's hearts. John is trying to lower the Japanese guard against him?"

"No, not entirely. He's setting up a plan, waiting for the destruction of Japan, waiting for everyone to deliver the final blow to Japan, waiting to clean up the mess, waiting for Japan's economy to fall into crisis, waiting for their businesses to fall into crisis, so that John can easily get everything he wants. Because at that time, his attitude towards Japan will be very obvious, and we will all become pawns in this little fox's hands. And he has already completed his plan."

At this point, Morgan sighed and continued, "If it weren't for this confrontation with Britain, I wouldn't have thought of all this. Compare his attitude towards the British to his attitude towards the Japanese, and there's a clear difference. Many people might think that John was young and womanizing, that he was influenced by the Japanese's seduction tactics, but do you think that's possible? That's all just an illusion, all just John's disguise!"

“Indeed. Although John is young and womanizing, he won't let women affect his business plans. So, the British's predicament is also part of John's calculations. His resolute resistance to the British is also part of the plan. In contrast, the Japanese have been testing the waters time and time again, but John hasn't reacted excessively. Instead, he has compromised time and time again, letting the Japanese get everything they want, while he has been strong-willed towards the British. This creates a clear difference, lowers the Japanese's guard, gains their favor, and lays the groundwork for the future. Wow, that's terrifying!” As he spoke, Jimmy couldn't help but shudder, shocked by John's scheme.

"That's how it is. His plans in Japan are now complete, and most of his assets have been returned to Japan. As a result, those guys in Japan will become even more confident and reckless. I believe they will go even further and test the waters again, because when human greed fully erupts, it's unstoppable. I just don't know what their next target will be, or what choice John will make. John's plans in Japan are now nearing completion, in the final stages. He doesn't need to do much now; he just needs to wait quietly for the final results. Such a plan is astonishing!"
