Chapter 232 Competing for the Patriarch
If Shen Canghai really wanted them to break away from the Shen family after taking over some of the Shen family's business, they would definitely not agree to such a separation.
But if we just distribute the Shen family's business to each house as Shen Canghai said now, we will see who can make the Shen family's business grow faster in half a year, and use this to decide who is the next head of the Shen family, instead of actually They can accept the separation of families.
In fact, Shen Canghai's move was also a helpless move. Although Shen Canghai treated his five children equally, he would inevitably have some biases in his heart. Among them, the eldest son Shen Mingren and his youngest daughter Shen Mingyao were the ones he loved the most.
And unless Shen Mingren, Shen Mingyue, Shen Mingyi and Shen Mingli are all dead, Shen Mingyao will definitely not be the head of the Shen family. Therefore, Shen Mingren, the eldest son of the Shen family, will naturally inherit the Shen family in Shen Canghai's heart. The perfect candidate for the position of head of the family.
But again, if the Shen family was a small family, Shen Canghai would be able to talk about it. However, the Shen family is not only not a small family, it is also the first family in Changping Mansion. There are many large and small forces attached to the family. he.
In terms of love, Shen Mingren and Shen Canghai have a deep relationship. In terms of logic, Shen Mingren is an early Xiantian realm warrior and has done a good job in controlling the Shen family's business in these years. In terms of rules, he is Shen Mingren's eldest son. He inherits the position of the head of the Shen family. The leaders of the other affiliated forces couldn't find anything wrong with it either.
But there is a fatal obstacle on Shen Mingren's path to becoming the head of the Shen family, that is, he has no children and will not be able to have children in the future. In other words, if Shen Mingren becomes the head of the family, he will have to wait until his next generation. At that time, the Shen family may not continue to be named Shen.
Not to mention the other members of the Shen family, even these affiliated forces couldn't accept this. That's why when Shen Canghai proposed to pass the title of head of the family to Shen Mingren, he was unanimously opposed by these affiliated forces.
It's not impossible if Shen Canghai insists on passing the title of head of the family to Shen Mingren, but that will inevitably lead to disunity within the Shen family, and the day he dies may be the day the Shen family falls apart.
Of course, Shen Canghai didn't want to see the Shen family he had grown so powerful end up like this, so he let go of passing the family head to Shen Mingren, which gave other families the desire to compete for the position of family head.
In fact, it is not difficult to solve Shen Mingren's problem. All he needs to do is find someone to marry into the big house. After all, Shen Mingyue and Shen Mingyao can retain the hope of competing for the head of the family because their husbands are married into the Shen family. In this way, The son they gave birth to was naturally named Shen, so he was certainly a member of the Shen family.
However, Shen Mingren and Shen Ye, father and daughter, have extremely high standards. Anyone they like can disdain to marry into the Shen family, and they look down on anyone who is willing to marry into the Shen family. This is why Shen Ye is so old. But she is still waiting to get married.
Moreover, even if Shen Mingren and Shen Ye want to find someone to marry into the big house for the sake of being the head of the family, the rest of the Shen family will not do it.
You must know that Shen Mingyue's husband Lin Song is a disciple of Ziyun Villa, a major sect in Changping Prefecture, and Shen Mingyao's husband Wang Gang is a disciple of Juedao Sect, another major sect in Changping Prefecture. You, Shen Ye, are looking for a husband who is better than these two. Qiang can't just fool around with things.
As Shen Canghai gets older day by day, the advantages of the first room are gradually being caught up by the other rooms. Shen Mingyi of the third room and Shen Mingli of the fourth room are both early Xiantian realm warriors. In terms of strength, they are not inferior to Shen Mingren, not to mention they still have heirs.
Although Shen Mingyue and Lin Song, the second wife, are only warriors in the late acquired heaven realm, their son Shen Zhizhong has filled the gap in strength for them and has already entered the innate realm at the age of only twenty-three.
As for Shen Mingyao, who lives in the fifth house, she has the least chance of inheriting the position of head of the family. If it were not for the sake of her son, she might not have even thought of competing for the position of head of the family.
But what worries the Shen family members is that although Shen Canghai's idea of making Shen Mingren the head of the family was jointly opposed by other affiliated forces, he did not say which other member of the family he would appoint as the head of the family.
This also led some people in other houses to think that Shen Canghai still retained the idea of making Shen Mingren the head of the family, so he decided to do it without stopping and asked people from the assassin organization to assassinate Shen Ye. Once Shen Ye died, then Shen Mingren would definitely I can't inherit the Shen family.
But this point just touched Shen Canghai's objection. He could tolerate his children competing for the position of head of the family, but he could not tolerate them fighting against each other.
What's more, Shen Ye also brought Wei Wuji home this time. Shen Ye's affection for Wei Wuji was also seen by everyone in the Shen family, and Wei Wuji's displayed strength was also extraordinary. If he was willing to move into his wife's big house, he would be The housing problem will be solved.
At that time, no one else would have any reason to stop Shen Mingren from inheriting the position of head of the Shen family. Therefore, in order to prevent other members of the Shen family from attacking Shen Ye again, Shen Canghai had no choice but to propose the idea of dividing the family and electing the head of the family within half a year. .
In this case, it would be meaningless for them to target Shen Ye, because their opponent in each house is no longer the big house, but every other house, and the head of the house selected in this case must be the most capable. , at least it will not attract opposition from other affiliated forces.
The people in the fifth room of the Shen family are not idle people, so they naturally understand the meaning of Shen Canghai's words, so Shen Mingyue asked: "So, the caravan of the Liuli Kingdom is the business you gave to the big room. ?”
Shen Canghai nodded and said, "Yes, that's right. Akihito, do you have any opinions on this?"
Shen Mingren naturally knew that Shen Canghai's idea was to help him. He was the oldest among his brothers and sisters and had the best business skills. With the other four members of the Shen family and affiliated forces all opposing him, he It is not easy to have a chance to compete fairly.
So Shen Mingren shook his head and said, "Mingren has no objection. Everything is up to you, dad."
Seeing this, Shen Canghai nodded, then turned his attention to the people in the other rooms, and said in a deep voice: "Although the Shen family's businesses are many, most of them are small businesses. If you remove these details, the Shen family's business is roughly Can be divided into five parts.
Among them, I handed over the caravan part to Akihito, the elixir part to Mingyue, the mining part to Mingyi, the weapon refining part to Mingli, and the restaurant and other businesses in Changping Mansion. Mingyao, do you have any opinions?"
The business of the Shen family is roughly the five yuan that Shen Canghai mentioned. It can be said that the business of most families is roughly the same. The remaining businesses are not something that families like them can do, and they have to be in Jiangnan. Only princes with different surnames like Jiang can do it.
Shen Canghai's distribution was quite reasonable, and no one in the Shen family had any objections to it. Only Shen Mingyue asked: "Dad, our business profits may be large or small, so how will we judge who loses?" Who wins?"
