Each sis gets a segment of the company. Weiss will be in charge of X, Winter of Y, Papa Schnee will keep Z. Simple as that. Done by a good number of companies in the past. Not entirely a bad idea either, especially if one's children have been raised so they do a good job when the time comes. In fact, this will actually improve the company since Papa Schnee won't have to do so much management and can focus on more specific things, allowing the company to be better organized.

It's that simple Pnakasone. If they were irrational people, which let's be honest we have no evidence at all that they are, the SDC would be in ruins by now. Great merchants and executives do not get that far by being irrational or ilogical. At worst, they are corrupt, but corrupt doesn't mean irrational nor ilogical (in fact they tend to be very logical).

So yes, Weiss gets 33%, Winter gets 33%, Papa Schnee keeps his 34%, or some other combination of numbers. Nothing bad happens, just good. If anything happens at all, it will be the typical "X wants a bigger share of the company" stuff, but that happens after.

Now, you say Papa Schnee is playing them against one another. Think that twice. Competitiveness is good, in fact it is the whole reason humanity has gone so far; everyone wants to be better than others, and almost everyone will try to improve if that makes them better than others, or try to invent something that proves it as well. Competitivity may lead to strife, but also to advancement, and it's not a bad idea to suggest competitivity between siblings.

Dividing the inheritance among the siblings is the logical, rational choice, and the people involved all know that. They are not morons. And is the only way to avoid actual, real strife between the sisters, and to improve the company the most. You assume they are "probably" irrational, but that is bullshit, and you know it. Irrational people never run companies as big as the SDC.
