Chapter 4182, Smith
Once Sol died, the family's situation suddenly became worse.
Under normal circumstances, candidates for each successive clan leader will be selected within the family, and then the clan leader and direct members of the clan will vote to decide.
Among them, the most important thing is that the current patriarch has one-vote veto power.
Therefore, as for who will be the next clan leader, in the final analysis, the current clan leader has the final say.
You have the power to recommend, but not the power to decide. I don’t think it’s okay, so it’s not okay.
Thor was in his prime at that time, and there would still be twenty or thirty years before he would step down as the patriarch. So, let alone being a candidate for the next patriarch, within their family, even the formal candidates had not yet started.
Make a selection.
Now that an unexpected situation suddenly occurs and Thor dies, who do you think will be the leader of the clan? Some people will not accept whoever takes the leadership!
This puts them into a small infinite loop.
For their family, the most important thing at the moment is to control the family industry and their status in the upper class of Kalumber!
Those families from other upper classes are not good things.
The cake of Kalembel is so big. Previously, as one of the powerful people in the upper class of Kalembel, their family occupied a piece of it.
And now, as soon as the patriarch died, their family also fell into chaos because of the death of the patriarch. During this period, I don’t know how many people were staring at the cake in their hands, wanting to take it for themselves!
For this reason, it has become a top priority to quickly control the family industry.
But without the patriarch, no one in the family obeys anyone, and it is extremely chaotic. How can it be possible to control the industry?
To be honest, many of them probably don't even know how much property their family has in their name.
After all, this power has always been firmly held by the clan leader.
Within the family, except for a few direct members who are responsible for a small part of the industry, in most industries, there is no room for others to interfere.
"enough!!!"
The angry shouts shook the entire conference room, causing the originally noisy environment to fall into a brief silence.
After seeing the person who made the noise clearly, a pair of brows furrowed, and soon, a sarcastic voice rang out.
"You have such a big temper, Smith. Who gave you the courage to roar in the conference room of our Sol family?"
The one who made the sarcasm at this time was a blond man who looked to be almost sixty years old. He was Lorraine Saul, the eldest son of the Saul family. He was arrogant, had average ability, and was a typical example of a high-minded person but a low-handed person.
Councilor Sol, who died at the hands of Zhang Peng before, was the second son of the family, and he directly stepped on his eldest brother to become the leader.
In addition, the Sol family also has a third son, Gawain Sol. However, the third son is even more squat than the eldest Lorraine Sol. He is a very typical playboy who only knows how to eat, drink and have fun. He is the only one to the outside world.
A decent and decent profession is that of a film director, and he only holds 10% of the group's shares.
He himself is quite aware of his own weight, so he basically doesn't care about anything within the family, and at the same time he has no interest in doing anything. He just takes the group shares to share the money, and his life is probably the most comfortable among the three brothers.
Under this premise, 'Smith', who couldn't bear it at the time and used the simplest and crudest way to restore quietness to this noisy environment, was obviously not a brother of the same generation as the three of them.
He is the deceased, illegitimate son of Chief Sol.
Chief Sol's situation is a bit special. He has had five wives for most of his life, but he has never had a child. His physical examination revealed no problems.
Seeing that most of my life has passed by, my chances of having an heir are getting smaller and smaller.
This will inevitably affect his mentality to a certain extent.
As a result, during that time, he suddenly discovered that he actually had an illegitimate child outside.
Needless to say, it was the product of his one-night romance.
The surname is Robert Smith after his mother. Her biological mother was seriously ill and bedridden. The cost of treatment was an astronomical sum for an ordinary family.
Robert Smith, who had no way out, found him through some information in his mother's diary.
For Patriarch Sol, who has no heir so far, there is no doubt how important this child's appearance is to him.
This was not only to break the rumors that he had fertility problems, but more importantly, he finally had an offspring.
He no longer cares who the child's biological mother is. The most important thing is that he has to quickly confirm whether the child is related to him by blood.
Needless to say, the result was that Robert Smith was indeed his child.
After receiving the results, Patriarch Sol directly stated that as long as Robert accepted his arrangement as his son, he would pay all the medical expenses needed by the biological mother.
In this way, Robert was taken into the Saul family.
The impact of the emergence of this illegitimate son on the Sol family cannot be ignored.
The eldest son, Lorraine Saul, has always been obsessed with the position of patriarch.
Of course, he probably won't be able to make it. He is five years older than the second oldest brother. When Chief Sol retires, what else can he do at that age?
But his son can be his son!
Ignoring the collateral lines, there is no threat from the third child, and the second child has no heirs, so who else can be the next patriarch besides his son?
Who would have thought that the second child would find an illegitimate child from nowhere?
And under that premise, what's even worse is that the illegitimate son actually showed great talents, entrusting the family industry to his family business in an orderly manner.
This made Patriarch Sol happy. As he became more and more pleased with Robert, he also further intensified his training of him, and even transferred shares to the other family one after another in the following years.
Today, Robert's shareholding in the Sol family's industry is as high as 16%! This is more than the third child, Gawain.
Before the incident, within the family, apart from the patriarch who owned 41% of the shares, the only person with a higher shareholding than Robert was Lorraine, who held 18% of the shares.
And according to the trend at that time, it is estimated that in two or three years, Robert's shares will completely exceed Lorraine's.
During this battle, it was already very obvious that Robert was going to be the next clan leader.
This also made the eldest brother Lorraine feel even more unhappy.
On weekdays, when the clan leader was still there, he would ridicule Robert a lot. Now that the clan leader is dead, he is naturally even more unscrupulous.
