The Grand Nagus is aboard [=DS9=]. The head honcho of the Ferengi Alliance is there to examine the possible business opportunities that the wormhole to the Gamma Quadrant can provide.
With every greedy and backstabbing Ferengi of note gathered at Quarks for a conference, Zek announces he won't be the Ferengi overseeing the new business chances the wormhole can provide. He plans to retire, and name a successor as Nagus. And much to the anger of his son and the other visiting Ferengi, he chooses ''Quark''.
Quark is as surprised as anyone else there, but more than relishes the new found promotion...until a Ferengi named Gral approaches him and makes a thinly veiled threat against him if he doesn't give Gral a good cut of the Gamma Quadrant business. Naturally freaked out, Quark seeks advice from Zek.
Zek tells him being the Nagus comes with people threatening your life. The secret is to surround himself with loyal(But not too loyal) men and be utterly ruthless. A few seconds later, Zek keels over dead.
