Chapter: 1859

Su Shou Dao sighed deeply and said seriously, "Forty years ago, Grandpa also thought the Leaf family was like this, always thinking they would disappear eventually. But no one expected that the Leaf family would produce someone as clever as Ye Changying, who suddenly lifted up the entire family."

As he spoke, Su Shou Dao's expression turned extremely grave and warned his siblings, "You two must remember that families like ours, many times we bet on the country's development in its historical long river. Just like when Germany attacked the Soviet Union, it was a bet on the country's fate. If they win, Eastern Europe would be theirs, with abundant oil, natural gas, and iron ore resources to support their rule over all of Europe. But if they lose, they'll be trapped in a two-front war and ultimately fail."

"We're now focusing our attention on international shipping, and the Leaf family wants to keep up - it's like making another bet!"

"If they bet, there's still a chance for them not to fall behind; but if they don't bet, they're doomed to be left far behind!"

"So, even if the Leaf family doesn't have someone with exceptional abilities, they'll definitely fight their way in and compete with us! And we, regardless of whether the Leaf family can catch up or not, need to cut off their path first!"

"Old Master Su's thought process was deeply influenced by his father. Old Master Su's father used to be a war veteran, and his philosophy on business was simple: as long as you're facing someone stronger than yourself, you must fight tooth and nail until the very end.

In the minds of both the Itoh family and the Takahashi family, it's like choosing one boat out of two at the shore before setting sail; but in Old Master Su's eyes, it's like choosing only one boat to take while letting the other one sink. The ordinary person might simply choose a boat that looks good and then set sail; the intelligent person would carefully research and select a boat with the best overall performance; while the clever ruthless person would choose a boat with the best overall performance and then sabotage the other one before setting sail.

This is because if you only choose one boat to ride without taking care of the other, it will become a huge threat. Your competitors might board that boat and give chase, ultimately leaving themselves vulnerable.

So, choosing one boat to ride and sabotaging the other means you won't have to worry about your opponents catching up to you. At that point, your opponents can only look out at the sea with a sense of futility, far behind you in the rearview mirror."

This kind of trick is very simple and brutal, but also very effective.

Old Master Su, even including Su Zhiwei and Su Zhiyu, were all born during peaceful times and have lived for too long in peaceful times. As a result, they gradually lost the bloodline that their predecessors had.

However, Old Master Su explained his father's decision to Su Zhiyu, who was the first to react.

She exclaimed with delight: "Dad, grandfather's strategy is just too brilliant! This way not only can we cut off the Itoh family's path, but also enhance our influence in Japan. Before this, I was worried that the Takahashi and Itoh families would each have their own strengths and weaknesses, no matter which one to choose, giving up the other would be a pity. If we could gather one of them and then merge with it to eliminate the other, that would be perfect!"

Old Master Su nodded solemnly and said: "Zhiwei, Zhiyu, you two must remember that our family's past, present, and future for the next ten years is that our greatest enemy is the Itoh family!"

"So, no matter what field we enter in the future, we will establish a principle: if the Itoh family is also involved in this field, then eliminating the Itoh family must be our top priority; if the Itoh family has not yet entered this field, then we must do everything in our power to prevent them from entering!"

"In the past, the anti-Itoh alliance may have dissolved, but we still need to crush the Itoh family completely. Only by doing so can we eliminate the possibility of them forming a counter-alliance against us in the future, understood?"

The two siblings spoke simultaneously: "Understood!"

Old Master Su nodded and continued: "You both should think deeply not only about your grandfather's strategic layout but also his tactical arrangements. The old generation always says that business is like war, and during wartime, the commercial world is just as ruthless as a battlefield. However, since World War II, the world has generally been at peace for several decades, and people have become too complacent. As a result, the difference between the commercial world and the battlefield has grown even greater."

Su Zhiyu spoke sincerely: "Dad, you're right. The bloodline and ferocity aspect is something I and my brother must make an effort to compensate for!"

Old Master Su nodded and praised: "The future of the Su family ultimately depends on you two. If you can find the same spirit as your ancestors, then the Su family's dream of standing at the pinnacle of the world will not be just a fantasy!"

This phrase has been echoing in the ears of Su Zhiyu and Su Zhiyu ever since.

However, Su Zhiyu was unaware that, outside his room, like a gecko clinging to the wall, there was a dark figure holding an audio amplifier designed for espionage.

This person had recorded every sound from their family's three-person video conference.

And this figure was none other than Teng Lin Zhengzhe, a high-ranking ninja of the Higashi family.

Higashi Junji learned that he just so happened to be at the An'an Hotel, so he asked him to monitor Su Zhiyu and act as both parties in the impending negotiation. If they could gain an upper hand by knowing their opponent's cards and weaknesses beforehand, it would be absolutely unbeatable. JrNovels.com
