The reason why Hongchuan Feng held the traditional one-year-old ceremony for Xiao Qingkong and the others naturally had a different meaning besides celebration.

Did the guests at the banquet tell all walks of life in the local society that Hongchuan Feng admitted that the wrong children were direct descendants of the Hongchuan family?

Especially as the eldest son Hongchuan Qingkong, his identity is even more symbolic.

After that birthday party, at least Akita locals will recognize the legitimacy of Benikawa Qingkong's certain status.

As for the glass of wine that many management members of Hongchuan Holdings drank, it is not just as simple as symbolic meaning.

Although Neon's "family" culture was also formed under the influence of Confucianism and Buddhism, it is somewhat different from the Chinese "family" culture.

Since the Meiji Restoration, neon has absorbed a large amount of Western civilization and formed a new modern syndrome treatment system.

That system has not changed for a long time, allowing Neon to maintain a very stable social structure until now.

It has both a traditional and conservative side and an open side of modern civilization.

The tradition of "One Eternal Lineage" is still passed down from generation to generation, and people's thoughts are changing to a more open level to varying degrees.

But even that change has not shaken the perception of "family" culture, and the strong will to continue moving family business eastward has become a social consensus.

In the "family" culture, the survival and inheritance of "family" are very important.

As a family business that is an expansion and extension of "family", its survival and business inheritance are also placed in a very important position.

At the same time, the solidification of class created by the neon closed environment also provides the survival soil for the survival of family businesses.

In later generations, they often see that some sushi restaurants have been in business for hundreds of years, and the owners have been inherited from the grandparents to the current grandchildren.

If you talk about those topics with them, you will even be surprised to find that as modern young people, they do not reject inheriting the business of their ancestors.

In the eyes of Neon people, it is only natural that a son inherits his father's legacy and passes it on from generation to generation.

The conservative spirit and the law-abiding character of ordinary people may even make them regard their ancestral career as the only noble cause.

Is it because of these reasons that Neon's family business has been passed down eastwards for decades and centuries.

Similarly, Hongchuan Holdings can also be considered a family business.

It is not without reason that the media calls it the "Hongchuan Zaibatsu".

The general public, other chaebols, and even Hongchuan Kaede himself have all admitted that statement.

As mentioned before, there is no social consensus in Neon.

And Hongchuan Feng wants his family business to be passed down for a long time, so he also needs to abide by certain ancient traditions.

But Hongchuan Holdings is different from a sushi restaurant. It cannot simply be handed over to its son and everything will be fine.

The inheritance of a family business, especially a large-scale family business, is actually a cold thing.

Just look at the inheritance system of those traditional chaebols. There are countless ways to adopt a son, recruit a son-in-law, etc.

All goals must be set for family inheritance, blood relationship, children's happiness, those things cannot be sacrificed.

Of course, it is because the eldest son will adopt that kind of leg length when his eldest son is incapacitated.

Otherwise, it is not the general consensus among Neon people that the eldest son should inherit the family business.

Just like what Hiroshi Yamori sang in the song "He's Crying", the protagonist's desire to go to Tokyo to work hard with his girlfriend has become a luxury.

Because as the eldest son in the family, he needs to stay in the countryside to inherit his parents' land and then be a farmer for the rest of his life.

People may sympathize with such a story, but they also feel that it is not a matter of course.

Is this the case for the eldest son? While he has the right to inherit, he also has his own obligations.

Although Xiao Qingkong is very young now, legally speaking he is the eldest son of the Hongchuan family.

If the future requires step-by-step growth, then the first successor to Hongchuan Kaede is not him.

Is this the consensus of society or the consensus of everyone at Hongchuan Holdings? Hongchuan Feng also needs to respect everyone’s ideas.

Of course, things are not absolutely wrong. If the eldest son is unable to take on the responsibility in the future, he can also designate a new heir.

For example, Yoshiaki Tsutsumi of the Seibu Group refused to give birth to a son from his concubine. Initially, because of his outstanding ability, he was designated by his father as the heir to the family.

Bu Nao did not prevent Hongchuan Feng from holding a formal one-year-old ceremony for Xiao Qingkong.

Because with the blessing of modern elite education, the growth of this generation of people is innate, and they are much superior to most ordinary people.

It can be said that the descendants trained in the east of Zhitou Realm are much better than ordinary people in terms of knowledge, ability and knowledge.

So to a certain extent, the eastern generation successor of the Hongchuan family is relatively clear.

In addition, the reason why Neon's "home" culture is said to have a cold meaning.

The inheritance system between biological children is also very ruthless and cold.

Different from China's equal share system among brothers, Neon adopts a "monad inheritance system".

The so-called monad inheritance means that the family business will be passed on to one member of the descendants, while other members will be "swept out".

This approach seems ruthless, but the purpose of this is to prevent external fighting and prevent the family's strength from being weakened due to the division of the family.

Equal distribution of property often results in the inability to expand the scale of business activities, and small businesses are likely to be squeezed out and annexed in competition.

The news that the children of the famous gambling king in later generations fought for the family property is very vivid in our minds. There have also been fights for property within the Samsung family.

It is no less exciting than some palace dramas, but the previous stories basically ended with scars on all sides.

There is no doubt that this is not conducive to the continuation and expansion of the family business, and to some extent will weaken each other's strength.

But such things rarely happen in Neon, and the root cause lies in "monad inheritance".

Under normal circumstances, the eldest son would bear that responsibility, while the second son and others would not be considered.

When the inheritance of the eldest son may endanger the interests of the family, the father can propose to sever the relationship between father and son, expel him from the family, and let the second son or other sons inherit instead.

Although Neon's law still exists, the system of primogeniture has been clearly abolished.

However, many families still adopt this approach because they doubt whether they can ensure the long-term competitiveness of their companies.

Especially those traditional chaebols have a tacit understanding on this point.

So what will Hongchuan Feng do? Will "monad inheritance" still be implemented?

To a certain extent this is true, but not completely.

After all, although monad inheritance is cruel, its advantages are also very obvious.

First, the property rights are clear. After the property rights of a family business are clear, there will be no more disputes and less harm!

Second, it is individualistic and the property rights of family businesses are individualized. Power is concentrated in one person, which is more conducive to the implementation of decisions and avoids meaningless disagreements.

Third, wealth growth is incremental. Compared with the equal distribution among most family businesses in China, the monad inheritance system avoids the division of property rights, is conducive to expanding the scope of property rights, and lays the foundation for the development of corporate property rights.

Of course, risks and benefits co-exist. Once something goes wrong with the family heir, the impact on the family business will be very obvious.

Therefore, the successor must be chosen carefully, and he will not hesitate when encountering problems with abolition.

I have to say whether it is the cold and ruthless inheritance system that has created a large number of Neon family businesses that can continue for hundreds of years.

But Hongchuan Feng is from China after all, and despite mistreating his children, he always has the warmth of a father.

I not only want the Hongchuan family to continue to grow and develop in the future, but also want my children to show their talents in their own world, instead of annihilating their own talents like vassals or victims.

So what should we do? Hongchuan Maple decided to "separate business" to a certain extent.

The existing Hongchuan Holdings will still be inherited by Qingkong in the future, but Hongchuan Feng will also vigorously support the career development of other children without damaging Hongchuan Holdings.

For example, if Yokohisa, the son of Keiko Matsusaka, has ideas in the future, Hongkawa Kaede would not mind letting him go and setting up his own club.

He will also provide certain help when resources are available. As for how far it can develop initially, it depends on each person's destiny.

Outside the Bu Nao family, competition within the same industry is not allowed. Only by developing separate industries is a long-term solution.

Of course, it was all very early, and Hongchuan Feng was also very young. He will have enough energy to educate his children in the future.

But due to Neon's tradition, he had to clarify some things in advance.

Benikawa Kaede did not stay long in Akita. After the child's first birthday, he probably visited his property and then expanded to Tokyo.

After all, it is not the center of neon, the stage there is better than in most cities in the world.

When Hongkawa Kaede returned to Tokyo, he put aside other matters and discussed one thing with the heads of Hongkawa Electric, HAL and SIC.

Then whether it is established or not depends on the feasibility of communication operators.

In the current era, Neon's communications field is still a government monopoly industry, and Neon Telephone and Telecommunications Corporation is a product of the monopoly.

It exists as a peripheral group of the Postal Ministry, and the funds for its establishment are entirely provided by government agencies. It cannot be regarded as a national institution with roots in Miaohong.

But just recently Hongkawa Kaede heard some outside news that the Ministry of Post and Post was discussing the feasibility of liberalizing communications and privatization.

The news came from a certain senior executive of the Telephone and Telecommunications Corporation. He and Hongchuan Kaede had a personal relationship. They had communicated with each other at Kasumikai Hall and the Imperial Palace before.

After a brief exploration of the air, Hongchuan Feng's mind immediately became active.

According to external reports, the preliminary review has been passed, and as expected, communications will be liberalized and privatization is almost certain.

In this case, there is nothing to hesitate about. Of course, it is better to attack the east leg first.
