Chapter 1737 The Existence of the Gambling Agreement

Seeing Xiaolong's calm and composed answer, the lawyer at the head of the legal team couldn't help but nodded slightly:

"You passed the test. According to the will, Qing Dragon King's inheritance will all be inherited by Qing Xiaolong. The Siling Consortium has approved Mr. Long Wang's choice and will not interfere in the subsequent management of the 'Qing' company."

Immediately, as soon as these words came out, everyone in the room looked stunned——

"Four. Siling Consortium?"

Before Xiaolong could recover from the unbelievable reality of the code he had unlocked, Huolong heard the leading lawyer say this, which made him feel even more baffled——

Why, is the inheritance of my company related to the Siling Consortium?

Although Huolong knew that when the "Qing" company was financing, the Siling Consortium did have a stake, and the Siling Consortium was also one of the company's major shareholders. It seems...

Holds 30% of the company's shares.

But his brother, King Qing Long, as the founder of the company who absolutely controls the company, owns more than 51% of the shares. Even though the Siling Consortium is the largest shareholder of the company other than his brother, it is related to this 50%. If more than one share is inherited, the Siling Consortium has no reason or ability to intervene, right?

In this regard, after Fire Dragon raised such a question, people who were puzzled by it at the same time included Meiling, Xiaolong and others. Of course, Mouri Kogoro didn't know much about the internal situation of their company, so faced with such a As a result, I don’t know what happened.

Seeing this and hearing Huolong's question, the middle-aged man at the head of the legal team replied calmly:

"In fact, Mr. Qing Longwang's will, in addition to arranging the distribution of his estate after his death, also contains a betting agreement signed between him and the Siling Consortium. The content of the bet is whether Qing Xiaolong and Mr. Qing Huolong will eventually win. Who will inherit his legacy?"

"What!"

Suddenly, after hearing this, Huolong couldn't sit still. He stood up from the sofa and asked:

"There is such a thing!"

——Betting with the Mitsubishi Consortium on who will inherit his inheritance...

What's the risk in this kind of thing?

Is it possible that he still has some backup plans for whoever inherits his inheritance?

For a moment, after hearing this answer, Huolong was a little frightened, realizing that even after his brother died, he still couldn't completely control the company's affairs...

This feeling...

For no reason, Huolong recalled his brother's serious expression and felt inexplicable hatred in his heart.

"That……"

At this time, when I heard that my husband had actually made a betting agreement with the Mitsubishi Consortium before his death, and the bet was on who would inherit the inheritance, his son or his brother-in-law, no matter how much he thought about it, he felt that there was a big deal involved. There was an article, so Mei Ling was nervous and couldn't help asking the leading lawyer:

"What is the specific content of the bet...can you disclose it conveniently?"

Hearing this, the leader, who looked at the middle-aged man with a gentle expression but looked extremely dignified, nodded silently and said:

"Of course you can. After all, the outcome of the inheritance has been determined now."

As he said this, the middle-aged man motioned to the assistant lawyer beside him and asked him to take out a document from his handbag, took out a copy of the agreement document, and placed it in front of everyone. In front of him, he said:

"According to the content of the gambling agreement, after the death of Mr. Qinglong Wang, he will divide 4% of the shares he holds and hand them over to the Siling Consortium to hold on his behalf. Before Qing Xiaolong comes of age, this share will All are controlled by the Mitsubishi Consortium.

"If, according to his will, Qing Xiaolong finally unlocks the secret code, then the Siling Consortium can only obtain the year-on-year income of the shares during the period of holding these 4% shares, but it cannot interfere with the company's future operations. .

“But if Mr. Qing Huolong finally inherits the inheritance, then during the period of holding the shares, the Siling Consortium can not only obtain income, but also intervene in the company’s operations until Qing Xiaolong comes of age.

"Once Qing Xiaolong comes of age, no matter what the situation is, the four percent share will eventually be transferred to Qing Xiaolong's name. Unless Qing Xiaolong dies, the Siling Consortium will always hold the four percent share. ”

In this way, the man at the head of the legal team explained the specific contents of the gambling agreement in such a simple way.

——To put it simply, the Siling Consortium will keep 4% of the company's shares for Qing Xiaolong until Qing Xiaolong reaches adulthood, and then transfer the shares to Qing Xiaolong. During this period, if anything happens to Qing Xiaolong, it will be equivalent to The Mitsubishi Consortium got 4% of the shares for free...

In this way, after hearing this answer, Mei Ling couldn't help but feel relieved——

In other words, in fact, through this gambling agreement, at the cost of several years of earnings from 4% of the company's shares, her husband introduced a third party to the party in disguise to ensure that his children would get a certain share of the company when they become adults. Company shares.

Thinking of this, Mei Ling didn't think about it any further. She just understood that her husband still had a hand in saving her and Xiaolong, an orphan and widowed mother, had no hope after his death and might be directly killed by her brother-in-law. Exclude monks.

In this regard, Fire Dragon obviously thought more -

Four percent of the shares originally held by my brother?

After losing these 4% shares, the brother's shares dropped to less than 50%. Although he was still the largest shareholder of the company, he lost relative control.

At the same time, after acquiring an additional 4% of shares, the shares held by the Siling Consortium will reach 34%, giving it the right to veto the company's resolutions, which is enough to intervene in the company's internal decision-making.

In other words, even if Xiaolong did not unlock the secret code in the end and inherited the company, he would not have absolute control over the company or himself, and until Xiaolong became an adult, he would not be able to do anything to Xiaolong, because it would be meaningless to do anything to him. If something happens to him, the key 4% equity will not belong to him, but will be given to the Siling Consortium for free. As a consortium in this country, the Siling Consortium is obviously not comparable to him.

However, if Xiaolong inherits the inheritance, then according to the gambling agreement, the Siling Consortium will clearly not interfere with the company's decisions. At the same time, when he reaches adulthood, 4% of the equity will return to Xiaolong's hands, and he will hold another 100% of the shares. With more than 50% of the shares, he completely controls the company!

"Brother, you made a good plan!"

Thinking of this, Huolong smashed the table angrily and threw the copy of the agreement to the ground, seemingly unable to admit such a result.

However, upon seeing this, Xiaolong knew that the matter was not over yet. He glanced at Conan who was hiding aside, and then angrily asked the fire dragon:

"Unscrewing the brake fluid from my car and setting a fire under my room were all ordered by you, uncle!"

"You, what evidence do you have!"

For a time, in front of so many people, Huolong was accused by Xiaolong of doing these things. Although this was indeed the case, how could Huolong admit it?

"Mr. Butler has already confessed!"

However, the next sentence made the fire dragon look furious...
