Haniel - Keep quiet and earn money

Their success story sounds like a fairy tale.
Today, the Haniels are one of the best-known and richest industrialist families in Germany.
In the
19th century through industrial espionage and a cunning marriage policy, in the 20th century they became firmly established in international heavy industry.
20th century, they acquired a firm place in international heavy industry.

On the occasion of the 250th anniversary of their company, the Haniels provide an intimate look behind the scenes of their extensive corporate empire for the first time.
Their trick: with foresight, the descendants of the founding generation have increasingly withdrawn from the business and left the operative business to successful managers.
However, the family now has more than 500 members, all of whom are shareholders in the company.
How can the various interests be combined without jeopardizing the existence of this unique empire?
