But once the will was announced, it turned out that it wasn't the result many had expected. Just like how old man Qin thought ill of Qin Jiran and Su Yanyi, he did the same for his grandsons. He was thinking of trying to divide the inheritance equally amongst his grandsons but also going in order from the oldest to the youngest. He also made it seem like the family needed to cooperate with one another to defeat their common enemy. He thought that even if they weren't willing to, it wouldn't cause too big of a problem.
Yet, the reality was crueler than he'd imagined or perhaps, people were greedier than he'd expected. No matter whether Qin Zhenyi or Qin Zhenli who had each inherited 20% of the shares, or Qin Zhenren with 30% of the shares, or even all the grandsons who had bagged an abundant amount of inheritances; none of them was satisfied!
Right, no one was pleased! Everyone believed that they should've gotten more and that the old man was clearly being biased!
Qin Zhenren, who believed that since he was the oldest, and fathered the oldest grandson, shouldn't have been stuck with just 30% of the shares. If his two brothers joined hands, his position as the Chairman would be threatened. This was like a sword hanging right above his head, his source of a constant worry. How could he accept this? It was only natural that he was disappointed in the old man.
Meanwhile, Qin Zhenyi and Qin Zhenli thought so too. They're both their father's sons but how come their big brother got more while they had to settle for much lesser than him? 10% of the shares was a huge amount. That was enough to let numerous families live a peaceful and harmonious life. They wouldn't need to worry about money as it was at least one billion!
The grandsons who inherited no shares at all were even more displeased. So what if they had gotten some properties? These things couldn't be spent as money. Their surnames were all Qin, but how come they didn't get Qin Company's shares? Although it had gone to their fathers, they were still young and money was controlled by their fathers. They would've had more freedom had the shares been in their hands!
So, almost at the very instant after the will was announced, everybody's face changed. It was worse than when the doctor had declared old man Qin's death. It was enough to know how everyone actually felt.
The chain of reactions was enough for people to see the indifference and selfishness of the Qin Family. Old man Qin's bones weren't even cold yet, and the people in charge of his funeral weren't his sons but the a.s.sistants of his sons. There were only two grandsons who stayed and the rest were their fathers who had started to calculate and scheme for the shares in the Qin Company.
Qin Family had 70% of the shares, and the oldest son was already in possession of 30%. If the other two sons in the family wanted to occupy the position of the Chairman, besides joining forces, they needed to buy the rest of the shares. The idea of joining forces wasn't even considered by the two brothers since they viewed one another as enemies. How could they become cooperative partners?
