Chapter 464 Covetous Gazes, Head-on Confrontation with the Syndora Corporation

The trouble Lao Dong was talking about wasn't just his own; to be precise, it was also Oni-no-take's trouble—

Not long ago, with the help of partners such as Lao Dong, the Phantom phone was successfully launched in the North American market.

Thanks to the early publicity, Ono Takeshi and his team spent a lot of money to hire many A-list celebrities as spokespeople, which made the concept of smartphones deeply rooted in people's minds.

On the day of its release, the store was packed with customers, and it was difficult to find a single unit.

With the launch of the Phantom phone in North America, it unsurprisingly caused a sensation, much like the sudden emergence of the iPhone in the past, directly sparking a smartphone craze that quickly swept across North America.

The Phantom phone quickly became a bestseller, highly sought after by young people and the fashion world.

Those lucky enough to snag a Phantom phone were overjoyed, showing it off on social media and attracting envious glances, greatly satisfying their vanity.

Among young people, owning a Phantom phone is a source of pride. When you go out and take out a Phantom phone in public, you will immediately become the center of attention.

Those who didn't own the Phantom phone seemed like outdated bumpkins, completely out of place with those around them.

This made those who hadn't bought it yet even more anxious.

As word-of-mouth spread, it further fueled the sales boom of the Phantom phone.

Such a grand occasion and the tempting enormous profits naturally attracted a lot of attention.

Some sought cooperation, while others coveted it.

Along with the benefits came a series of troubles.

Simply put, someone has their eye on the lucrative Phantom phone market.

It was none other than the notorious and greedy Judah financial group.

According to Lao Dong, these guys have been making moves lately, testing the waters multiple times in an attempt to get a share of the pie.

However, Donald Trump was not fighting alone; the old industrial conglomerates behind him, such as Mellon and Rockefeller, were not to be trifled with either.

Naturally, no one wants to spit out the meat they've already eaten.

Both sides have already engaged in some open and covert attacks.

Upon hearing this, Oni Takeshi frowned.

He had long anticipated both the benefits and troubles that smartphones would bring. In his previous life, Apple was worth trillions; who could resist the temptation? It was also expected that it would attract the covetous eyes of insects.

This is why he was willing to share some of his profits and insisted on cooperating with Lao Dong and the forces behind him, so that they could be used as pawns in this situation.

Naturally, faced with such a huge temptation, the Judas consortium would not give up easily and sent out a vanguard to further probe.

And this vanguard was none other than Ono Takeshi's old acquaintance—Sindora Corporation!

After listening to Lao Dong's account, a chill flashed in Gui Yewu's eyes.

The Judah financial group is planning to plunder him!
Although the forces behind Lao Dong are not afraid of the other party, if the Judah Consortium does something sabotage behind the scenes, it could still cause a huge impact and loss on the sales of Phantom phones.

It is even possible to restrict the Phantom phone through legal means.

This is something Ono Takeshi cannot accept.

Similarly, this is a situation that Lao Dong and the conglomerate behind him do not want to see.

Therefore, they only had one path before them—to ruthlessly sever the tentacles of the Judah financial group, to make an example of them and warn them!

—I can give it to you, but you can't come and take it yourselves!
Although the Judah financial group is greedy, it is also able to assess the situation. Once it weighs the pros and cons, it will naturally become hesitant to act rashly and will not risk offending them for such a small benefit.

Only when the other party puts aside their greed can the two sides sit down to negotiate.

"So the key to the problem lies with the Sindora Corporation!"

Old Dong said with a serious expression.

Oni Takeshi's expression turned grim, a sinister smile creeping across his lips:
"It seems it's time to settle things with the Syndora Corporation."

……

Although the decision to deal with the Syndora Corporation was made, the actual execution was not so simple.

There are many problems to face.

In the previous turmoil, due to Thomas Sindora's secretive identity, Sindora Corporation encountered a public relations crisis. Coupled with the opportunistic actions of Lao Dong and others, although the losses were considerable, they were not crippling.

After this period of recuperation, I have recovered a lot of my energy.

Faced with such a large conglomerate, ordinary business tactics are simply ineffective; as before, at most, one can gain a small advantage.

Oni Takeshi and his team's goal is to thoroughly cripple or even destroy the Sindora Corporation, thereby warning the Judah Consortium behind it to think twice before trying to take over.

This significantly increases the difficulty of operation.

For a time, even the old master didn't have a good solution and could only suggest taking it one step at a time.

However, Ono Takeshi revealed a meaningful smile and said calmly, "What if Thomas Sindora dies?"

Old Dong was taken aback and immediately warned, "King, don't you dare do anything reckless!"

He wasn't concerned about Thomas Sindora's life, but rather that people at their level were extremely cautious and wary of methods like assassination.

We're all wealthy and powerful. If you send someone to kill me today, and I send someone to kill you tomorrow, then let's just flip the table and stop playing this game! Moreover, even the most meticulous and meticulous assassination plan will inevitably leave flaws, which will give the other side leverage.

Moreover, if you're going to do something like this, you should either do it thoroughly or not at all. If you don't kill the snake, you'll only suffer the consequences. But if you do it this way, the impact will be huge, and others won't sit idly by. In the end, it will cause public outrage, which would be a loss that doesn't outweigh the gains.

Even the industrial conglomerate behind them might abandon them...

Seeing the cold and stern-faced Oni Takeshi, Lao Dong panicked a little and quickly tried to calm him down.

At the same time, he thought to himself, "This kid is too reckless. He starts fighting without warning..."

Glancing at the panicked Old Dong, Gui Yewu raised an eyebrow and smiled: "Who said I was going to assassinate him?"

Old Dong stared blankly at him, looking at him with a bewildered expression.

What do you mean? How can Thomas Sindora be killed without assassination? Are you going to curse him to death by casting a spell on him?
Oni Takeshi waved his hand: "Never mind that for now. Just tell me, what would happen if Thomas Sindora died?"

Seeing how serious he was, Lao Dong temporarily put aside his worries and began to think seriously as he stroked his chin.

"Hmm... what if Thomas Sindora really did suddenly die..."

At this point, Lao Dong glanced at Gui Yewu discreetly, saw that his expression was normal, secretly pursed his lips, and continued his analysis.

"Then the situation might really be different. The Sindora Corporation is a family business wholly owned by the Sindora family, and as the patriarch, Thomas Sindora has absolute say."

"This has its advantages and disadvantages. The advantage is that it has made the Sindora Corporation a one-man show by Thomas Sindora, which is also an important reason why the Sindora Corporation has been able to develop to its current level. It must be admitted that Thomas Sindora is a very resourceful and insightful person."

"but--"

Old Dong suddenly changed the subject.

"There are downsides to this too. Thomas Sindora's personal authority is too strong. If something happens to him and he doesn't leave a will, it will likely cause considerable turmoil for both the company and the family."

"You should know that ambitious people exist everywhere, and the Sindora Corporation and the Sindora family are no exception. It's just that they were suppressed by Thomas Sindora before. Once there is no leader, these people will inevitably emerge."

"In that case, internal strife within the Sindora Corporation will likely be unavoidable."

Old Dong became more and more excited as he spoke, his eyes shining.

"If that's the case, our opportunity will come. No matter how powerful a chaotic conglomerate is, it can't withstand our attack. After all, the forces behind us are not weak either."

"As long as the Judah Consortium doesn't interfere, we can definitely deliver a heavy blow to the Sindora Corporation! It's hard to say if it will collapse completely, but it's entirely possible to severely damage it! We might even be able to scrape a layer of flesh off its body!"

"Given the greed of the Judah Consortium, they might even turn around and tear apart the Sindora Corporation!"

Perhaps the temptation was too great, and Lao Dong unconsciously became caught up in the bright prospects, even more so than Oni no Takeshi, hoping for Thomas Sindora's sudden death. After the initial excitement, he became deeply worried.
"How can I take down that Thomas Sindora guy without anyone noticing? This is giving me a headache..."

Seeing Old Dong already agonizing over how to take down Thomas Sindora, Oni no Takeshi was speechless.

Sure enough, all taboos and rules are bullshit; they can all be broken in the face of profit.

This startled him, making him realize the true meaning of the saying, "There are no permanent enemies, only permanent interests."

Conversely, it can also be interpreted as "there are no permanent friends, only permanent interests."

Oni Takeshi glanced at Lao Dong casually, then looked away.

Now that a consensus has been reached, the next thing to consider is how to get rid of Thomas Sindora.

Old Dong was in distress.

Killing Thomas Sindora wasn't difficult; the challenge was leaving no trace.

Even if everyone knows they did it, there's nothing that can be done about them without direct evidence.

It's like in the college entrance exam, as long as you have the ability to cheat without being caught, your score will still count.

The analogy may not be quite right, but the principle is the same.

You can assassinate your opponent, but only if you don't give yourself away.

In a sense, this is also a rule that everyone agrees on.

The question is, how should we do it?
Whether it's hiring an assassin or using poison or other methods, regardless of the success rate, it's impossible for someone with ulterior motives not to leave a trace.

Even if a master like Ono Takeshi were to personally take action, he couldn't guarantee that there wouldn't be any traces left behind.

In short, nothing is safe.

Old Dong racked his brains for a long time but couldn't come up with a good solution, and he was so anxious that he scratched his head and cheeks.

However, Oni Takeshi's face showed a confident expression.

Since the proper methods don't work, we can only resort to unorthodox methods.

For example... metaphysics!
Or rather... Detective Conan!
Upon hearing Oni Takeshi's idea, Lao Dong was immediately taken aback and couldn't help but look at him with a strange gaze.

Are you fucking kidding me?

Are you sure you're not joking?
of course not.

If science fails, rely on Detective Conan's theories—this is an irrefutable truth in the world of Detective Conan!

Under Lao Dong's suspicious gaze, Oni Takeshi took out his phone and dialed...
