Chapter 6712: 10 Dragons Fight for Succession

Take your husband’s surname!

All the girls were chewing on Avril's words carefully.

Before she brought it up, she didn't even have this idea. Putting it forward at this moment, the girls couldn't help but think about it carefully.

Li Zhiyou wanted to speak instinctively, but when the words came to his lips, he hesitated. For her, it was normal to take her husband's surname. When she chose Chinese nationality, she wanted to change it to Lin Zhiyou, but Lin Feng stopped her, saying that China does not have this kind of tradition of "husband-righted marriage". So, she doesn't care.

Of course, among the girls, the ones that don't matter are Lin Zhihui and Lin Chiling. Both of them have the surname Lin, so there is no difference. Of course, there is another difference, that is, they used to have the surname of their family, but now they have the surname of Lin Feng. Although there is no difference in itself, there is actually a difference.

Lin Feng looked at the reactions of the girls and smiled.

"Let me say a few words first!" Lin Feng said, "After all, I am also the head of the family, right?"

The girls nodded.

"This is how I look at the issue of taking my husband's surname." Lin Feng said indifferently, "Although this is tradition, I don't know why the Chinese and Western traditions are so consistent. In the past thousands of years, the two sides have been isolated from communication. Under such circumstances, why would a similar civilization develop? But now that we are a new China, the Four Olds have been eradicated. I think, let’s let the things of the past dissipate with the wind!”

Girls, look at me and I look at you. I didn’t expect Lin Feng to have this attitude.

Avril was a little anxious. She was thinking about the future. She was about to speak when Lin Feng stopped her.

"Avril, I know your good intentions, and I'm glad that you take a long-term view, but to me, this actually doesn't mean much." Lin Feng smiled, "Because I, Lin Feng, am not as unconfident as ordinary men. For me, not taking my husband's surname will not increase my so-called pride as the head of the family. As for cohesion, I believe that it cannot be maintained by just using my husband's surname."

"Husband, you don't understand what Avril means. She should not only mean to condense the emotions between us sisters, but also to condense our centripetal force. How should I put it..." Liu Yingying thought for a while, but she still expressed her worries. After all, now is an opportunity to speak out, "Have you ever thought about the interests of our children when our children and grandchildren are full in the future? And behind each of us, there is a huge group of relatives heckles. They will not stop Instigate us to fight for more benefits for our children!”

All the girls looked strange. They have already encountered this. Just saying, it's not as serious as Liu Yingying said. But in the future, this may indeed be the case. because,

Lin Feng's industry is too huge. It's so big that anyone wants to get something out of it.

After all, this thing, as the old saying goes, a little leakage under the fingernails is enough for an ordinary family to be wealthy for a lifetime. Do you think those relatives, their relatives, are all considered rich? Mostly not, at most a middle class person. How could these relatives not want to get something out of Lin Feng?

Anyway, when I think about it, the little I want is nothing to Lin Feng. As the saying goes, if one person achieves enlightenment, chickens and dogs ascend to heaven, their relatives naturally want to take advantage of it.

Lin Feng pinched his chin. Regarding what Liu Yingying said, Lin Feng had not considered it, but he had not paid attention to it. I don't think it's a big deal. I will not directly help the relatives of my wives, because my wives have their own industries, with net worth ranging from billions of dollars to tens of billions of dollars. Although compared with my own money, the gap is huge. But for anyone, this amount of money is enough to live a very luxurious life.

In particular, these industries are profitable industries and can bring huge profits every year. In addition, with their own relationships, it is a very simple and easy thing for the girls to take care of their relatives. Therefore, Lin Feng never thought too much about this.

As for paying a little more, that's not a big deal. Sometimes, it really doesn't matter.

However, what Liu Yingying said today made Lin Feng a little awakened.

What have emperors been most worried about since ancient times? One is eunuchs interfering in politics, and the other is relatives interfering in politics. These two points are far more serious than forming parties and private interests. Because these two categories are the closest people around the emperor. If they want to unite, even the emperor can't bear it.

As for those ministers forming cliques and private interests, to be honest, in most cases, as long as the emperor is not a child and as long as the emperor is still in charge of the army, then with a single order, corpses can be killed everywhere. The worst he can do is become a fool.

But if you want these empress's relatives to collude together, it will be a real headache. Unless you are really killed and left alone. But the key point is that between you and the ministers, there are only national affairs. According to current sayings, they are official affairs, and you don't need to talk about emotions. But there are feelings between you and your own harem concubines. Unless you are inhumane, it will be difficult for you to kill someone.

What's more, it's not the old saying: It's hard for an upright official to deal with household affairs. Things in this family are just a mess. You want to sort it out, but you can't.

Lin Feng pondered for a moment.

"This matter is indeed likely to cause big trouble outside. However, aren't we setting up a family and formulating family rules now? I think we can use family rules to limit this matter. As for stopping it completely, that is impossible!" Lin Feng shrugged, "Because relatives instigate some things behind the scenes, this is understandable. After all, everyone's starting point for their own interests is different. It is impossible to stop them from instigating behind the scenes. However, we can block the bad consequences of their instigation from the source!"

The women looked at Lin Feng with bright eyes, including Sumitomo Ning. She only wanted to give birth to Lin Yuhan at present, and it was also to avoid future brothers fighting. She was too young, and there were too many sons. It would be a headache to fight for the family property in the future.

No matter how bloodthirsty she was, she could not kill her own children. This was impossible. Therefore, when she was so young and could foresee that the life span of human beings was gradually increasing, she did not need to give birth to too many children to create trouble for herself. As Sumitomo Ning said a long time ago, if Lin Yuhan was not competitive, then let him become a stud and give birth to more grandchildren for herself early. Then, I will train my grandson myself. At that time, it was different from my own son. In terms of feelings, it was not as deep as that of my son.

Once the grandson was disobedient and did not strive for success, she would raise the butcher knife without hesitation. At that time, if the grandsons were really useless and still made trouble, they would be killed.

But if this matter could be solved more perfectly, then Sumitomo Ning would be willing to have more children. After all, having a large family is also a kind of happiness.

"From the perspective of human nature, everyone will fight. This is understandable. Because we all want to live better, we want to be happier tomorrow than today. This is the innate nature of each of us. This is bound to fight. Therefore, human nature is evil, that is the reason. Because this is our instinct!" Lin Feng said slowly, "But we can avoid it through clan rules!"

Avoid it with clan rules? Can this be avoided? Sumitomo Ning frowned. In Sumitomo Ning's opinion, this is difficult to avoid. At least for the Sumitomo family, it has not been successfully avoided. Family infighting has always existed for thousands of years. This is inevitable.

Of course, since Lin Feng has brought it up, let's hear what Lin Feng thinks.

"First of all, we need to understand what the root cause of the family's power struggle is!" Lin Feng sighed, "Our root cause is that there are too many heirs, and they are fighting for power! Just like the 'Ten Kings Fighting for the Throne' back then!"

The Ten Kings Fighting for the Throne refers to the bloody storm in the late Kangxi Dynasty when ten princes fought for the throne.

"So, my first idea is to keep our family going strong and prosperous, so that the family can always be in the development stage. In this way, with a broad space prospect, it is difficult for brothers to fight against each other! After all, if I don't stay here, I will stay here. What's more, I have many children, so let them develop in various fields and fight for their own future!" Lin Feng said with a smile.

The women nodded. This is naturally good, but there is also a problem. Where can I get such a large space? It is true that there is development in various fields, but the earth is so big, and Lin Feng has already become one of the largest giants. Especially with the development of future technology, people like Lin Feng who have mastered the latest technology will only have more and more wealth.

Of course, the women can also think that the future development direction is the vast starry sky, and the sky above is boundless. This can indeed accommodate the ambitions of all children. However, there is another point, that is, Lin Feng's huge family business.

You know, no matter how they develop, Lin Feng's career will flourish with it, this is inevitable. And Lin Feng now has a family fortune of more than 10 trillion US dollars, and I am afraid that there will be more zeros in the future. By then, when they are old, their children will fight for the family fortune, and it will definitely be very crazy.

If you say that they will divide it equally, then they don't have to bother to establish a family. That will be torn apart. So, what should we do then? If you say that choosing a head of the family to command all resources is naturally very appropriate. But that's just like the past dynasties.

Lin Feng's assets are piled up, which is richer than the past dynasties. Lin Feng's children are no different from those princes. By then, there may be a "Ten Dragons Fighting for Succession", which is too cruel.

Even though this is a modern civilized society, in the face of such a huge fortune, all friendships can be thrown away.
