    On the night of New Year's Eve, the streets were extremely deserted, and even taxis were absent.

    It only took Lin Yushu half an hour to rush from the city center to the private sanatorium in the suburbs.At this time, many media have heard the news, and they are all waiting in front of the hospital.

    Taking the elevator to the VIP ward on the top floor, the corridor was full of relatives of the Shao family, all with sad expressions, and some of them were so crying that they couldn't stand up.

    Lin Yushu had a bad premonition in his heart. He walked outside the door of the ward, and saw that the bed had been covered with a white cloth...

    "Leaving ten minutes ago."

    In the rooftop garden, Song Qiming propped his hands on the railing, looking at the bustling urban area in the distance.

    His tone was quite calm, and he couldn't hear much sadness. Judging from his solemn expression, he seemed to be more immersed in thinking about this matter.

    But Lin Yushu still patted him on the shoulder: "My condolences."

    "Yes." Song Qiming replied softly.

    The cries from downstairs came up continuously, from Shao Hedong, Shao Hexu, and some older relatives of the Shao family, but to Lin Yushu's surprise, he even heard Shao Guangjie's wailing.

    Shao Zhenbang said he was treated equally, but he obviously favored Shao Guangjie. After all, compared to the two grandchildren, Shao Guangjie was not only his own grandson, but also stayed with him longer.

    Correspondingly, when Shao Zhenbang left, Song Qiming didn't feel much sadness, but Shao Guangjie felt the pain of losing a loved one very much.

    As for Lin Yushu, it was impossible to say that he was not sad at all, but he was an outsider after all, and he knew that Shao Zhenbang would not live long, so his emotions did not fluctuate too much.

    "The ticket has to be cancelled." Song Qiming said, "My parents are rushing back."

    "Okay." Lin Yushu nodded.

    The talent had just left, and it was not easy to mention the will, so he could only ask in another way: "What are you thinking?"

    "The content of the will." Song Qiming's straightforward temperament is not as scrupulous as Lin Yushu, "The current situation is not good for me."

    Song Qiming has just become the CEO of Eternal Star Motors, and he hasn't made any achievements yet. In addition, Shao Zhenbang is quite displeased with the fact that Shao Guangjie was squeezed out. No matter how you look at it, at this point in time, the share of the will is unlikely to be biased in the slightest.he.

    "It's useless to think about it." Lin Yushu frowned, "You need to find Shao Hexu now."

    Song Qiming rubbed the broken hair on his forehead with some headache: "But grandpa is still lying there..."

    "So do you want to fight or not?" Lin Yushu interrupted Song Qiming, "If you don't fight, you can take back your position as CEO."

    Song Qiming put in so much effort in the early stage, it was all for this last fight.

    Lin Yushu understood that the content of the will must be in favor of Shao Hedong's family, which would be a fatal blow to Song Qiming, so it's no wonder he had the idea of retreating.

    "I see." Song Qiming exhaled, "I'll call Shao Hexu."

    Ten minutes later, the figures of Shao Hexu appeared in the garden on the roof.

    Right now, he and Shao Hedong are the focus of everyone's attention, and they can't stay here for too long. When he saw Song Qiming and Lin Yushu, he asked, "What's the matter?"

    Although his eyes were swollen from crying, like Song Qiming, there was also a hint of worry in his expression.

    "Sign a concerted action agreement with me." Song Qiming said straight to the point.

    "You want to fight against Shao Hedong?" Shao Hexu was quite surprised, "You might as well sign with me and let me do it."

    A person acting in concert means that two or more shareholders form a whole, and one of them exercises voting rights on behalf of the other.

    For example, assuming that after the will is announced, Song Qiming gets 10% of the shares and Shao Hexu gets 20% of the shares. After the two sign an agreement of persons acting in concert, Song Qiming can have 30% of the voting rights at the general meeting of shareholders.

    This is equivalent to two people agreeing to advance and retreat together, but it is not a verbal agreement, but a paper agreement, which is more formal and more secure.

    "You can't." At this critical juncture, Song Qiming didn't bother to talk nonsense with Shao Hexu, "If you stand up, do you think Fang Lan will support you?"

    Shao Hexu fell silent, and after thinking for a while, he said, "Dad has always intended for Shao Hedong to take over the business. If the bulk of the inheritance is on his side, then it's useless for us to sign the agreement."

    "You have to be prepared." Lin Yushu couldn't help reminding, "What is certain is that the first thing Director Shao will do next is to reshuffle the cards."

    At that time, Song Qiming will definitely be kicked out of the position of CEO, and Shao Hexu is also very likely to be ostracized.

    The piece of land that was so hard won, there is no need to think about building a track, it will only be used by Shao Hedong to build a resort.

    "Okay." Shao Hexu nodded solemnly, "Where is Fang Lan?"

    Song Qiming and Lin Yushu glanced at each other: "Let's go find her now."

    This New Year's Eve is destined to be uneven.

    Originally, Weibo was full of hot searches related to the Spring Festival Gala, but gradually it was dominated by the news of Shao Zhenbang's death.

    There was a large-scale panic in the stock trading forum. Fortunately, the stock market was closed at this time, which did not have an impact on the stock price of Eternal Star.

    The two rushed back to the city under the speed limit all the way, and arrived at Fang Lan's villa.

    ——Running to someone else’s house at night on New Year’s Eve, I’m afraid this kind of experience will never happen again.

    "The old man just passed away, so you came here?"

    Fang Lan took the two of them to the study on the second floor, cutting off the happy atmosphere downstairs.

    The servant aunt brought up a plate of fruit, but Fang Lan waved her hand and said, "No need."

    Indeed, Song Qiming and Lin Yushu are not in the mood to eat fruit now.

    "I need you to stand by my side." Song Qiming said bluntly.

    "If I remember correctly," Fang Lan put her hands on her chest, "Have I already paid back your favor?"

    "Then let me owe you a favor." Song Qiming didn't talk nonsense at all, and even Lin Yushu rarely saw that offensive posture, "Let Shao Hedong take power, and Fangtian Real Estate will only be marginalized. You know that only I canbring you the greatest benefit."

    This is an obvious fact, and with Song Qiming's favor, Fang Lan will not disagree.

    She put her right leg on her left, and chatted casually: "Your grandfather has just left, and you are already coveting the family property. Aren't you afraid that he will be disappointed?"

    Song Qiming frowned: "Now is not the time to look forward and backward."

    Lin Yushu is very aware of Song Qiming's situation, he can take as much as he wants without arguing, but the problem is that Shao Hedong will not make it easy for him.

    It can only be said that Shao Zhenbang left at the wrong time, just at the very moment when the two sides fell out.

    If he lived a little longer, he would be able to see how well Song Qiming managed the company, and he wouldn't end up with the negative impression of Song Qiming fighting with his cousin in his heart.

    "Okay." Fang Lan chuckled and said to Song Qiming, "To be honest, I think you are more like the old man when you were young. Shao Guangjie is just mud that can't support the wall."

    "Really." Song Qiming replied indifferently.

    As Shao Hexu's ex-wife, Fang Lan didn't get along with Shao Hedong's family. She would comment on Shao Guangjie in this way, which was somewhat personal.

    But as long as she supports Song Qiming, it will be fine.

    "That's it for today. I have to hold a small meeting with Fang Tian's shareholders." Fang Lan said, "You come to our company to sign the agreement tomorrow."

    After rushing back from the urban area to the hospital in the suburbs, it was past 11:30, and the Spring Festival Gala was drawing to a close.

    At this time, the list of Shao Zhenbang's funeral meeting has been announced. Lin Yushu is the nominal CEO of the Shaw Family Office, but his name is not on the list.

    This shows that Shao Hedong's reshuffle has already begun from now on.

    "It's been a miserable year."

    On the lounge chair in the garden on the roof, Lin Yushu hung up the call with Lin Yize, leaned back on the chair, and sighed facing the dark night sky.

    "Did you come out to your brother?" Song Qiming leaned forward, with his hands and elbows on his knees, his posture was much tighter than Lin Yushu's.

    "I didn't make it in time." Lin Yushu retracted his chin, looked at Song Qiming and said, "I've already prepared for the worst, but my brother broke my leg, who knows... hey."

    "Yes." Song Qiming didn't say much, and looked at the ground with a heavy heart.

    "Are you worried?" Lin Yushu put his hand on Song Qiming's shoulder and asked.

    "I don't like this feeling." Song Qiming also leaned back in the chair, looked ahead, and frowned, "I don't know what to do."

    Shao Zhenbang holds 100% of the shares of Eternal Star Holding Group, and he is a veritable major shareholder. No one can shake his position.

    However, the role of the top-level holding company is only for holding shares and has no actual business. Therefore, the power struggle revolves around the middle-level listed companies.

    In other words, the equity of listed companies is the most important.

    The holding company holds 60% of the shares of the listed company, that is, the 60% belongs to the Shao family, and the other 40% belongs to the outside.

    Originally, Shao Zhenbang could fully control the 60%, but after his death, the equity was distributed to his children according to the will, and this part was no longer concentrated.

    For example, assuming that Shao Zhenbang divides 100% of his shares equally between brothers Shao Hedong and Shao Hexu, then the shares projected by these two brothers into the listed company will be 50% (split equally) × 60% (Shaw's part), respectively30%.

    But Shao Zhenbang intends to let Shao Hedong take over the company, so it is impossible for the two to share equally.

    Shao Hedong will definitely take the lead, so that his equity will exceed 30%.

    And over the years, according to Lin Yushu's knowledge, these core Shao family members all intend to hoard the company's stock in the secondary market, so Shao Hedong's equity will most likely exceed 40%.

    Once this number exceeds 50%, don't worry about it, Eternal Star will be Shao Hedong's world.

    Song Qiming could only pack up and leave.

    "Don't be afraid." Lin Yushu patted Song Qiming's shoulder and comforted him, "I'll take care of you at the worst."

    After being tense all night, Song Qiming finally laughed: "Are you sure? It costs a lot of money to raise me."

    However, as soon as he finished speaking, the smile disappeared from the corner of his mouth, because Shao Guangjie came up from the corridor with a cigarette case and a lighter.

    "Oh, you're here." He lit a cigarette and walked straight towards the two of them, "I thought you knew there was nothing to do with you here, so you disappeared."

    "Let's go?" Lin Yushu looked at Song Qiming and asked.

    He just coaxed his baby well, so he didn't want to spoil his mood again.

    "En." Song Qiming responded, and the two stood up.

    "Wait." Shao Guangjie stopped the two of them with a cigarette in one hand, exhaled a puff of smoke, and said to Song Qiming, "Can you pack your things and go back to Germany?"

    "Are you in a hurry?" Lin Yushu frowned.

    "Ha, I should ask him that." Shao Guangjie looked refreshed, "Are you in a hurry to move the office?"

    ……hateful.

    On the day Song Qiming was called to move the office, Lin Yushu did not expect that things would change drastically.

    But Song Qiming didn't respond, and said lightly, "Let's go."

    Lin Yushu said, "Okay."

    The two ignored Shao Guangjie and continued to walk towards the corridor, but at this moment Shao Guangjie said suddenly: "I probably know the content of the will, the old man probably didn't modify it."

    Song Qiming paused, and Lin Yushu did the same.

    I used to call him "Grandpa" honestly, but now he becomes "Old Man" when he leaves.

    "It's no surprise that our family takes the lead." Shao Guangjie smoked a cigarette, unable to conceal the pride in his tone, "Besides, since the old man got sick last year, our family has indirectly held more than 10% of the company's shares."

    Lin Yushu's heart sank.

    "Do you know what this means?" Shao Guangjie looked at Song Qiming's back, threw the cigarette butt under his feet and stomped it out, "You are finished, Song Qiming."

    Lin Yushu couldn't help but turn around, and saw Shao Guangjie's eye sockets were red and swollen from crying under the faint light on the roof, but there was a ferocious smile on the corner of his mouth.

    Lin Yushu believed that Shao Guangjie's sadness over his grandfather's death was real.

    But feel that grandpa's death is very timely, and it is true for Shao Guangjie.
