The Amazing son in law Chapter 8021
Rachel quickly cautioned him, “Didn’t your great-grandfather tell you not to say anything carelessly when you get back, and not to discuss any details with your parents?”
Robert shook his head very seriously, saying, “What he says is what he says. Fundamentally, I’m closest to my parents. He’s just my grandfather’s older brother.”
Rachel shook her head again and said solemnly, “If you think like that, then in your lineage, you’ll end up like your grandfather, a collateral branch of the family, and the inheritance of your family’s wealth will definitely not fall to you.”
Robert was immediately shocked and asked her, “Why? ” “Huh?”
Rachel said seriously, “Because you don’t know how to choose sides!”
She continued, “Whether you can become the heir of your lineage isn’t up to your parents, but your grandfather. First, your father has to win among his brothers for you to have a chance of inheriting. And even if your father wins, you still have to compete with your brothers. If there’s even the slightest deviation, you’re out!”
Robert’s expression froze instantly. He cautiously asked Rachel, “Honey, what do you mean?”
Rachel said seriously, “First, you need to make sure that among your brothers, there are others…” “An unassailable competitive advantage, so you can secure your position as your father’s primary heir. This way, you’ll have a solid foundation; no matter how much your father inherits from your grandfather, you’ll get 80%.”
Rachel’s expression grew more solemn as she spoke, enunciating each word clearly: “Secondly, if you’re capable enough, you should find a way to help your father become your grandfather’s primary heir. If your father can also inherit 80% from your grandfather, you’ll get 64% of his assets. This is the best-case scenario for you.”
Rachel then changed the subject, continuing: “But if…” “You’ve secured your father’s inheritance rights, but your father might not. He might only receive 10% of your grandfather’s assets, meaning you’d only get 8%. That’s a poor outcome for you.”
Rachel’s tone grew increasingly cold, her words sharp and unsettling. “And if you yourself don’t become your father’s primary heir, you’ll most likely only receive 10% of his assets, and your father will only receive 10% of your grandfather’s. So, you can foresee that the worst-case scenario is that you’ll only inherit 1% of your grandfather’s assets.”
Upon hearing the mention of 1%, Robert’s face turned deathly pale.
He wasn’t particularly business-minded; in fact, he was even more naive than most top-tier rich kids. Being young, he spent his days only thinking about studying, dating, playing sports, and enjoying life, without ever planning for his future.
But now, after hearing Rachel utter this string of cold, hard numbers, he immediately realized the enormous difference.
His future net worth could differ tenfold or eightfold depending on his own efforts.
His father’s net worth could also differ tenfold or eightfold depending on his efforts.
While the Rothschild family was very wealthy, core interests were always reserved for core members. His grandfather had already lost his chance to succeed him, so going up another level, there was the same arithmetic problem: his grandfather would be lucky to receive a hundred billion dollars in assets.
If he could only get 1% of those hundred billion dollars, that would only be a mere billion dollars—a paltry sum unworthy of the Rothschild name in Silicon Valley, where billionaires abound.
However, if his father could become his grandfather’s first heir, and he himself could become his father’s first heir, then he could only receive a maximum of 64 billion US dollars in assets.
That’s a full 64 times—a world of difference!
