Lord Schulz's way of thinking was deeply influenced b y his father.
Lord Schulz's father had fought in wars. The difference between the battlefield and business was that on the battlefield, you must fight to the very end i n order to survive, so he implemented the same philosophy in doing business-he had to fight to the very end if they encountered opponents heads-on. 3
In Lord Schulz's eyes, choosing between the Ito family and the Takahashi family and eliminating the leftover were like there were two boats on the shore during a trip to the sea. Only one was needed to go to the sea, s o what should be done? 5
The commoner would choose any boat he liked and set sail on it.
A wise man would select the one with the most comprehensive specification after detailed research.
A brilliant and ruthless man would choose the one with the best overall performance and then sink the other boat before setting sail.
The reason for this was that if one simply chose one ship to sail, the one left behind would be a huge problem for him. A competitor might try to catch up with the remaining ship, eventually becoming a threat for himself. 10
Therefore, when you decided on a ship to sail and destroyed the other one, you didn't have to worry about your rivals catching up to you. This way, your opponent could only be left on the shore and watch you leave from afar. 6
It was a very simple and brutal tactic, but also very effective.
Sheldon, Jaime, and Sophie were all born in the era of peace and had lived in such an era for too long that they had gradually lost the bloodiness and ruthlessness the older generation had.
