This manor may have been bought by the Xu family as a joint venture, or as a family. There are six castles here. This one belongs to Xu Qingqing, and the other five belong to the descendants of Xu Qingqing's grandfather's brothers and sisters?
Does this mean that Zhao Mingyang has officially joined the Xu family? Ahem~ No, does he officially join the Xu family?
After Zhao Mingyang signed, he pressed his fingerprints. After the lawyer gave Zhao Mingyang several more documents to sign, the housekeeper took Zhao Mingyang out of the castle and drove to another castle in the distance.
After arriving this time, a large room of people looked at Zhao Mingyang, who felt a little uncomfortable.
Are these all overseas Xu family members? Zhao Mingyang doesn’t know any of them.
Being surrounded by a group of people, my dear, there are fifty or sixty people in total, this is too many people.
This does not include the children playing outside. This group of people includes people aged 17 or 18, some in their twenties, some in their thirties, some in their forties or fifties, and some in their sixties or seventies. They are just human beings.
There are many, both male and female.
There was an old man sitting in a wheelchair in the crowd, an old man who looked very old. He had no hair. Because of his age, his face was full of wrinkles and his skin was loose, but he looked in good spirits.
Zhao Mingyang didn't know what to do. There was no one in Xu Qingqing's family, and these people were from overseas. Zhao Mingyang didn't know him, and no one talked to Zhao Mingyang, so he just looked at Zhao Mingyang.
"Zhao Mingyang, right? Don't be restrained. We are all family members. Let me introduce you to this person. You call me grandpa, who is also my father. You can just call me aunt. I will introduce you to the others...
"..." An old lady in her seventies with gray hair took Zhao Mingyang's hand and patted it and said.
Then he introduced a circle of people in the room to Zhao Mingyang, and everyone else also said hello to Zhao Mingyang.
It could be seen that these people greeted Zhao Mingyang unwillingly, as if they had been forced over.
Many people were standing there, waiting for the old man to say a word.
The old man sitting on the chair said: "Let's break up, we will eat later, you come with me."
After Zhao Mingyang heard what he said, his aunt motioned to Zhao Mingyang to push the old man's wheelchair.
The others looked at Zhao Mingyang and then left. Zhao Mingyang walked towards the old man and pushed the wheelchair.
Zhao Mingyang didn't know how old this old man was, but Grandpa Xu Qingqing was not young. This family was really able to survive.
Zhao Mingyang doesn't like this place. Although it is the home that many people dream of, Zhao Mingyang doesn't like it. After all, this is not his own home, and this is not his family. Familiar? Impossible. He is an outsider. This is the Xu family.
"What do you think of this place?" the old man said.
"Very good." Zhao Mingyang replied.
"Is it really okay?" the old man asked again.
"Okay, but I may not be used to it here." Zhao Mingyang said.
"Why aren't you used to it?" the old man asked.
"Well, what should I say? It's too big here and the distance between people is far away." Zhao Mingyang said.
Yes, this place is indeed very nice and luxurious, but Zhao Mingyang suddenly discovered that it was too big, so big that the family members could keep a long distance between them. This distance seemed to be in the same place, but in fact it was no longer. Everyone has his own home.
, each has its own ideas, distance and interests.
Xu Tiancheng closed his eyes and murmured to himself: "It's too big and far away. I am ninety-seven this year and will soon be a hundred years old. I have four generations in my lineage. I have six sons and four
Daughter, my second brother’s family has five sons and three daughters. Some of the children here don’t have the same mother.
They are all half-mothers. I have a wife and three concubines. In those days, it was really nothing. When there were more children, the family became scattered. My sons didn’t deal with each other in the first place and plotted against each other every day.
, let alone half-mothers, the two sons of the third brother's family, the brothers are still scheming against each other. It is this little family property that has ruined the family relationship. The sons will not deal with the grandchildren, nor will they deal with them. My second brother
He passed away a few years ago, and I also help take care of his descendants.
I spent a huge sum of money to buy this manor, just hoping that these children could live together, deepen their relationship, and at least understand that they are all one family.
But things went against expectations, and nothing changed at all. Our generation still had feelings, and my brothers and sisters and I still had some human touch. But these people are gone, and the younger generation's thinking is almost the same as that of foreigners.
It's a pity. Now I realize that I thought wrongly. I also know a little bit. Living such a long life is worth it, but when I have more children, I worry about whether I will be able to live well in the future or not live well in that future.
Look at the people in that room. They don’t have any family ties. They don’t have any family ties anymore. They are just waiting for me to die and divide the family property. When my second brother passed away, his children and his children all started fighting for the family property.
It's so embarrassing, so embarrassing.
I'm leaving now, and my descendants will probably be embarrassed. In the end, there will be no family ties but interests. I thought I could change it, but it turned out that it couldn't be changed. I asked you to come here this time because of the eldest sister from the Ren family.
My third brother’s wife and I both say you’re pretty good and praise you, that’s good.
I also wanted to see you and talk to you about something, so I did some things while I was still alive before I became confused."
Zhao Mingyang didn't know what the old man wanted to do, but he felt that he wanted to see him, probably because he had something to explain.
"Grandpa, please tell me." Zhao Mingyang said.
Xu Tiancheng looked at the children running in the distance and said: "I am going to hand over all the property of me and my second brother to Qingqing. The rest of the Xu family will only have the right to receive a share. My second brother gave everything to Qingqing before he died.
Leave it to me, I have to fulfill some wishes for him.
So many people speak highly of you, which proves that your abilities are indeed outstanding.
Do you know what all big families are afraid of? They are all afraid of not having a successor, just like Hong Kong Island Lao Li. He is already old, so why do he still have to do everything himself? Is it because he can’t let go of some power? No, it is
There is no suitable heir. No matter how the media reports about their son, it will not be too bad. After all, it is difficult for anyone to say anything about his son, such as being a superman. It is just to give Lao Li face and praise his son. You can't say anything about Lao Li.
Even your son can't do it.
The same is true in our family. There are some capable children in the old Xu family, but they all have foreign surnames. The children from my second brother’s daughter and I’s family are very capable, but if we give things to others, our family will definitely not be able to take them back in the future.
It's back.
My father and our brothers can all make a living. My third brother’s son, Xu Jianye, has abilities, but his limitations are too great. He doesn’t understand the international market. At most, he can do some business in one place. This is what we do.
Lao Xu is currently the leader of the younger generation, and the others are far behind him in ability.
Let's put it this way, it seems that such a big family will decline very quickly, because not only do we have to prevent our own family from ruining our family, but we also have to prevent outsiders from worrying about it.
Count your own relatives, let alone other outsiders.
If you want to snatch them away, there will probably be very few left in less than ten years. Such a large family has been used to living a good life, and if they are allowed to live a hard life again, they will not be able to bear it physically and mentally. I don’t know what will happen to them.
, what I am worried about now is that my granddaughter and grandson, who I have watched grow up, will not live well. I am afraid that my children will not live well. They are all in their 60s and 70s. Now I have to leave. I can’t worry about them. My elder
I can't worry about my grandson.
As for the descendants I saw, I can’t worry too much. I have to find a leader for the next ten years. When this group grows up, they will probably become successful.
Lao Li is also waiting. I heard that his granddaughter is pretty good. She is very smart at a young age, decisive and courageous. The descendants of Lao Zheng's family in Hong Kong are also very outstanding in their twenties, which is not the case in our family. I
I've given them every chance, but it didn't work.
You are a suitable candidate and can help Qingqing. I hope that you and Qingqing can temporarily help me and my second brother manage the assets, but I have a request. First, every ten years the family votes, and the heir can only be our elder brother.
Men of the Xu family, I don’t care about our lineage or that of my third brother’s family, and I have no control over it.
The second thing is that you only have management rights but no distribution rights. I will write down the dividends for you to ensure your satisfaction.
The third thing, you have to help me supervise it. After I die, my second brother’s descendants and I must go back to China during the Qingming Festival to sweep our graves. My second brother, my sisters-in-law, and my women will be buried there.
In the cemetery of our ancestral home, there are my parents’ tombstones and the tombstones of our family members. I don’t want our descendants to forget our roots.
My requirements are not high, that's all. The benefits I will give you will not be small. You will become a director of a well-known university here. You don't have many shares, but with your identity and some authority, you can help
If other people's children are arranged to enter the school, you will get three admissions without examination every year.
We will also get you some identities, such as a representative of outstanding young entrepreneurs around the world, a China-EU friendship ambassador, a United Nations philanthropist, and shares in several wineries, including some international trade business for you.
My third brother will also give you something. Let’s put it this way, you can quickly make a name for yourself on the world stage, and you will become one of the wealthiest people in the world.
A conservative estimate is that you can at least take away not only your status but also wealth from me, which is at least five billion U.S. dollars. This does not include what my third brother's family gave you.
It is so difficult to find an excellent helmsman. For the Xu family's core industry, you only get dividends but no shares, while other industries will give you shares.
All you have to do is help Qingqing. Of course, what I asked you to do is to do it for me after I leave."
Zhao Mingyang looked at the old man and said, "What if I don't want to?"
"You have no choice, Qingqing must do this, unless you and Qingqing separate, do you understand.
I can't trust trust, that's why I came to you. Is trust 100% reliable? It can be said that if you don't consider it 100%, there will always be someone with other ideas.
Instead of taking advantage of others, it is better to take advantage of your own relatives. You should be happy..."
A week later, Zhao Mingyang returned to China and Pengcheng, and Xu Qingqing's family met Zhao Mingyang again.
They were very direct. They directly gave Zhao Mingyang 5% of Wanheng's shares and asked Zhao Mingyang to marry Xu Qingqing as soon as possible, but not now, but after Zhao Mingyang had gilded his identity first.
