Chapter 869 Morgan's Concerns
"Jimmy, are you sure that little fox John's expansion in Japan is accelerating and those guys in Japan aren't setting any obstacles for him? This isn't how those shorty guys operate. Those guys are all very arrogant. How could they give John such an opportunity and let him control the ports and docks?" When he learned about John's expansion in Japan, Morgan frowned. This was completely different from what he had thought.

"I'm certain that those little devils in Japan didn't try to sabotage John's expansion; in fact, they were quite cooperative. However, I heard that Toyota got the navigation system license, which might be related to this, since cars are very important to Japan."

"That is indeed a possibility. However, how could John make such a decision to let Toyota join? You know, Taiwan's production capacity is not enough. Even if he has been preparing for a long time, it will not be able to meet market demand for a long time. After all, this market is too big, and many people are eyeing it now."

"Being envious is useless. No one can get this benefit from John. They can only blame themselves for underestimating Hughes Aerospace and John's long-term strategy in Silicon Valley. If you hadn't spoken up, GM wouldn't have gotten such benefits. After all, if Bentley had been given enough time, they would have been unrivaled in the luxury car market, dominating both the European and North American markets, not to mention the Middle East and the truck market. John's logistics company is now far beyond everyone's imagination, and many logistics companies are facing a huge impact."

"In retrospect, we were too cautious. If we had known it would turn out this way, we should have accepted John's offer. Now, it's impossible for us to get back in. They've already grown into a powerful force. John's move has put the entire trucking and logistics market to face new challenges. They either have to replace their trucks or be gradually eroded by the other side. We have to admit that this little fox's strategy is too brilliant. We never expected this to happen. And now, this guy has hidden himself in Japan."

“Boss, the White House is under tremendous pressure right now. After all, local truck companies are facing the impact of the Bentley Motors Group, and it’s not just in North America, it’s all over the world. The White House could speak up for Ford before, but this time those truck groups probably won’t get the chance. The White House can’t let John sacrifice his own interests.”

"That's natural. John can give the White House face, but you can't keep doing it again and again. They have their limits too. Ford is already John's bottom line. He can't give the trucking company another chance. The profits from that part are greater. John, that little fox, understands this. That's why he took the initiative to leave the United States and hide in Japan. And his reasons are quite good. He needs to develop in Japan and needs to understand the situation there."

"The more you learn about this little fox's plans, the more shocked you become. He has already taken control of the ports and docks in Japan, and I'm afraid he will also infiltrate Japan's logistics system next, or even directly acquire or build his own. The shipping companies in China are the best example."

"Now I understand John's tricks a bit. The combination of shipping, freight, and air transport creates a perfect logistics network. If they are merged together, it will become an industry giant, and a top-tier one at that. This little fox has already completed a lot of preparations, and now all that's left is time!"

"Yes, who could have imagined that John's plan would be so insane? Although he had mentioned it to us before, it was completely different from what we had imagined. Such a crazy plan is terrifying and horrifying."

"Given such a huge price, what is John planning to do? Is logistics really worth investing so much money and effort in? And Bentley's expansion is making those guys at GM tremble with fear. The acquisition of Skoda, the acquisition of Rolls-Royce—it seems this guy is going to expand across Europe. And then there's the car factory in Taiwan. Bentley's momentum is unstoppable now. Hughes Aerospace—who would have thought it would have such astonishing profits and such a far-reaching impact in the civilian sector? I remember those guys scoffed at John's plans back then, and now they're all regretting it."

"John's scheming is truly remarkable. Everyone thought it was a strategic move in the communications field, but who would have thought that John would make such a big difference with a global positioning system? His imagination is truly boundless. Even experts and scholars couldn't have come up with it, but now everything has been realized in John's hands!"

"The number of navigation systems needed by Bentley Motors alone is not small. Add to that GM, Ford, and Toyota, and the factories in Taiwan probably won't be able to accept any more orders. What do you think the European car companies will do?"

"Those guys deserve a lesson. Those bastards have been boycotting us. After the Plaza Accord, they haven't been very friendly to us, and our expansion there has been hampered. The British have also changed their tune. It's good that John is stepping in to teach them a lesson now. If we can cripple their car industry, that would be even better. Now, Ms. Mary from Bentley Motors has spoken with GM and Ford, intending to suppress their market share in North America!" "I know about this. It's John's doing. The North American market is the largest market in the world. If we can affect the Europeans' car sales, it will be good for GM and Ford as well."

"I'm afraid those Rockefeller guys will cause trouble. After all, the truck company has been impacted by Bentley Motors, and there's also the huge logistics market, which is a significant problem. I'm worried they'll cause trouble, pressure John, and cause the plan to fail. After all, that little fox John won't accept their threats!"

"Let the White House worry about this; it has nothing to do with us. After all, it's not something we can solve. If those old guys like Rockefeller insist on causing trouble, let them be. I want to see what other tricks they have up their sleeves, and I'm even more curious about John's counterattack. To be honest, I'm shocked by John's scheming. It's all too crazy, too terrifying. Who would have thought that this guy had been secretly plotting for so long, and that his move would be so earth-shattering, leaving us with no ability to fight back! If the automotive industry is like this, what do you think John's focus on, semiconductor chips, will be like? In recent years, Nvidia has been frantically developing chips, completely disregarding its own interests."

“That’s right. Nvidia is crazy, and so is Bell Labs. Their investment in semiconductor chip research and development is terrifying. I heard that their next-generation lithography machine has already been designed. Now they are just waiting for Nvidia to successfully develop its new chip!” Jimmy paid the most attention to Nvidia and Bell Labs because it was related to Morgan’s interests.

"They've broken Moore's Law and brought it forward, which has had a huge impact on other chip companies. Nvidia is clearly trying to seize the personal computer chip market, or even the entire computer chip market, or even more markets. Now everyone is shocked by the madness of this little fox, and everyone has to be on high alert."

At this point, Morgan paused, thought for a moment, and then said, "Jimmy, what's the situation with that little fox John with the Russians? They can't be completely inactive, can they?"

"Yes, they are still frantically trading with the Russians, and they are getting very close to many Russians. It seems they have some kind of plan, but we can't be sure. Moreover, they are getting more and more things, especially in terms of technology. A lot of the good stuff from the Russians has fallen into their hands. I heard that they have emptied a lot of the Russian warehouses and transported them to Africa, causing quite a bit of trouble for the Europeans."

"Now this guy is targeting the Europeans. It seems the Europeans' suppression of him has finally provoked his retaliation. That's good, at least he won't focus his energy on those old guys. The US can't be in chaos, at least not now. And those oil capitalists should be made to restrain themselves. When John has time to spare, they will pay a heavy price. Do they really think that John, this little fox, is so easy to fool? That he won't retaliate against their constant troubles in the Middle East?"

"It's only because those guys were vigilant and had security personnel protecting them that they were taken out long ago. The Middle Eastern tycoons are very dissatisfied with them, and right now the two sides are engaged in a media war, and it's raging fiercely. Fortunately, Legendary Entertainment and Phoenix Media have remained calm, otherwise this matter would have blown up. I just don't understand what they were thinking, insisting that John stand on the opposite side of them. Now something has happened at Phoenix Media, and Paramount's Barry Diller has resigned."

"Foolish and arrogant fools, they really think Paramount will fall into chaos after leaving Baridyl, that this will make John compromise? They've only made things worse, and they'll face John's furious counterattack. When did this happen? Why didn't I know?" At this moment, Morgan's expression turned serious!

Jimmy sighed and said, "Yesterday, I heard that Barry Diller will start his own company after leaving Paramount, and Oil Pacific Capital will provide enough funding. This matter is causing a big stir in Hollywood, and I'm worried that something terrible might happen."
