Chapter 1737 The Existence of the Gambling Agreement

Seeing Xiaolong's calm answer, the leading lawyer in the legal team couldn't help but nodded slightly:

"You passed. According to the will, all of Qing Long Wang's estate will be inherited by Qing Xiaolong, and the Siling Consortium has approved Mr. Long Wang's choice and will not interfere with the subsequent management of the Qing Company."

Immediately, as these words came out, everyone in the room was stunned.

"Four, Four Ling Group?"

Before Huolong could recover from the unbelievable reality of the code that Xiaolong had solved, he heard the leading lawyer say this, which made him feel even more confused -

  How come the inheritance of my own company is related to the Siling Group?

Although Huolong knew that when Qing Company was raising funds, the Siling Group did invest in it, and the Siling Group was also one of the company's major shareholders, it seemed...

Holds 30 percent of the company's shares.

But his brother, Qinglong Wang, as the founder of the company with absolute control over it, owns more than 51% of the shares. Even if the Siling Group is the largest shareholder of the company besides his brother, when it comes to the inheritance of these more than 51% of the shares, the Siling Group has no reason and no ability to intervene, right?

In this regard, after Huolong asked this question, those who were also puzzled included Meiling, Xiaolong and others. Of course, Maori Kogoro didn't know much about the internal situation of their company, so when faced with such a result, he didn't know what was going on.

  Seeing this and hearing Huo Long's question, the middle-aged man who was the leader of the legal team replied calmly:

"In fact, Mr. Qinglongwang's will, in addition to arranging the distribution of his estate after his death, also includes a gambling agreement signed between him and the Siling Financial Group. The content of the bet is who will inherit his estate in the end, Qing Xiaolong or Mr. Qing Huolong."

"what!"

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

"There is such a thing!"

——A bet with the Siling Group on who will inherit his estate...

What's the point of betting on this kind of thing?

  Could it be that he has a backup plan for whoever inherits his estate?

For a moment, after hearing this answer, Huo Long was somewhat horrified, realizing that even after his brother's death, he still couldn't completely control the company's affairs...

This feeling……

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

"That……"

At this time, she heard that her husband had made a gambling agreement with the Siling Group before his death, and the gambling was about who would inherit the estate between her son and her uncle. She felt that there was something fishy going on, so she asked the leading lawyer nervously:

"What exactly is the content of the bet... can you please tell me?"

Hearing this, the middle-aged man in the lead, who had a gentle expression but looked extremely dignified, nodded silently and said:

  "Of course. After all, the result of inheritance has been determined." As he said this, the middle-aged man signaled to the assistant lawyer beside him to take out a document from his briefcase, took out a copy of the agreement document, put it in front of everyone, and said:

"According to the content of the gambling agreement, after Mr. Qinglong Wang passes away, he will divide 4% of his shares and hand them over to the Siling Financial Group for holding. Before Qing Xiaolong comes of age, these shares will be held by the Siling Financial Group.

“If, according to his will, Qing Xiaolong eventually deciphers the code, then during the period when the Siling Group holds this 4% stake, it can only obtain the year-on-year earnings of the shares, but cannot interfere with the company’s future operations.

“But if Mr. Qing Huolong eventually inherits the estate, then the Siling Group will not only be able to make profits during the period of holding shares, but will also be able to interfere with the company’s operations until Qing Xiaolong reaches adulthood.

"Once Qing Xiaolong reaches adulthood, no matter what the situation is, the 4% of the shares will eventually be transferred to Qing Xiaolong's name. Unless Qing Xiaolong dies, the Siling Consortium will continue to hold the 4% of the shares."

In this way, the man who headed the legal team simply explained the specific contents of the gambling agreement.

——In simple terms, the Siling Group will keep 4% of the company's shares for Qing Xiaolong until he reaches adulthood, and then transfer the shares to Qing Xiaolong. During this period, if Qing Xiaolong encounters any problems, it will be equivalent to the Siling Group getting 4% of the shares for free...

After hearing this answer, Meiling couldn't help but feel relieved.

In other words, her husband actually used this gambling agreement to bring in a third party in disguise at the cost of 4% of the company's shares for several years, to ensure that her children would be able to obtain a certain share of the company's shares when they grow up.

Thinking of this, Meiling did not think about it any further. She just understood that her husband still had a trick up his sleeve. At least he did not leave her and Xiaolong, an orphan and a widow, with no hope after his death and might even be kicked out of the house by her uncle.

In this regard, the fire dragon obviously thought more -

Four percent of the shares originally held by my brother?

If he lost these 4% of shares, his brother's shares would drop below 50%. Although he would still be the largest shareholder of the company, he would have lost relative control.

At the same time, with the additional 4% of shares, the shares held by the Siling Group will reach 34%, giving it a veto over the company's resolutions, which is enough to interfere with the company's internal decision-making.

In other words, even if Xiaolong did not crack the code in the end and he inherited the company, he would not have absolute control over the company and himself. And until Xiaolong came of age, he would not be able to take any action against Xiaolong because it would be meaningless to take action against him. Once something happened to him, the 4% of the key shares would not belong to him, but would be given to the Siling Group for free. As a consortium of this country, the Siling Group was obviously not something he could compare to.

However, if Xiaolong inherited the estate, then according to the gambling agreement, the Siling Group would definitely not interfere with the company's decisions. At the same time, when he came of age, 4% of the shares would return to Xiaolong, and he would hold more than 50% of the shares, completely controlling the company!

"Brother, you have a good plan!"

Thinking of this, Huolong angrily slammed the table and threw the copied agreement to the ground, as if he could not accept such a result.

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

"Uncle, you screwed off the brake fluid of my car and set fire to my room. It was you who ordered it!"

"What evidence do you have?!"

For a moment, in front of so many people, Huolong was accused by Xiaolong of doing these things. Although it was true, how could Huolong admit it?

"Mr. Butler has already confessed!"

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