The Four Top Families of the Imperial Capital
As the three of them chatted, the waitress knocked on the door, and dishes were served one after another.
After all twelve dishes were served, they asked Han Xuan and the others if they had any requests, then all of them left the Peony Hall.
"Eat first. We'll talk while eating.”
Han Xuan turned the wheel on the table and smiled at the two little ones."Try this lamb with scallion. It tastes amazing. This is your Uncle Zhao's favorite dish.”
When Han Qiong heard this, she picked up a piece with her chopsticks and put it into her mouth to taste it. Then, her eyes lit up, and a sweet smile appeared on her face.
"Daddy, this is really delicious.”
Han Chen also picked up some food with his chopsticks." I'll try it."”
After eating, Han Chen praised," Not only does it taste fresh and tender, but it also doesn't taste like mutton at all. It's indeed the best restaurant in China."”
"It's delicious, right?" Han Xuan smiled."The standard here is not inferior to a state banquet."”
Han Qiong looked at Han Xuan in surprise." Dad, you've been to a state banquet before?”
Han Xuan smiled and nodded, but he didn't say much to the two children. He had too many secrets on him and it was not suitable to tell the two little ones now.
Especially for Han Qiong, Han Xuan only hoped that she could live happily for the rest of her life and was satisfied.
After eating for a while, Han Chen could not help but feel puzzled." Dad, tell me about the four families."”
Han Qiong looked at Han Xuan and Han Chen in confusion." What four great families?”
Coincidentally, Han Xuan was also full. He picked up a napkin and wiped his mouth." Then I'll tell you today."”
The four great families were actually just a survey of the wealthy families in China made by nosy people.
Based on economic strength, political background, and influence in China, a ranking was calculated.
In fact, there were a total of eight top-notch families on the same level in Xia country. They were the Qin family, the Chu family, the Shang family, the Wang family, the Rong family, the Li family, the Bao family, and the Liu family.
However, the Rong family was in Anhang City, the Li and Bao families were in Harbor City, and the Liu family was in Haidu City. The Qin family, the Chu family, the Shang family, and the Wang family were the local forces in the capital. They were known as the four great families in the capital.
The current leader of the Qin family, Qin Mingrui, was 42 years old this year. Two years ago, he took over the position of leader from the previous leader, Qin Yao.
Qin Mingrui was also the brother of Han Xuan's good brother, Qin Mingzhe. Thanks to the relationship between Han Xuan and Qin Mingzhe, the Qin family of the four major families was also the closest to Huaxuan Group.
The Qin family's main direction was politics. There were many high-level leaders in this family, and they had great influence in Xia country, so they were also ranked at the top.
After the Qin Clan was the Chu Clan. Apart from doing business, the Chu Clan's influence in the military could not be underestimated.
The current head of the Chu family was Chu Nanlong, who was about the same age as Qin Mingrui. Chu Tianlin was his third son.
The Shang family was ranked third among the four major families in the capital. The Shang family was a pure business family and had many businesses that overlapped with the Huaxuan Group.
Shang Kun, the head of the Shang Family, was also the only one with the highest seniority among the four families. It was unknown if the Shang Family had done something immoral, but in this generation, only Shang Xiurong could be considered worthy of being the head of the family.
Finally, although the Wang family was mainly in business, they had a certain degree of influence in the military and political aspects. Perhaps they were too greedy, so their influence was ranked last among the four great families.
Although the current head of the Wang family, Wang Lin, was a conservative person, his nephew, Wang Jianxin, was extremely outstanding. He was also the next head of the Wang family.
Han Xuan briefly introduced the two little ones to the wealthy families in the capital, giving them a general impression.
After all, the four great clans were involved in too many things, and it was not something that could be explained in a few words.
When Han Xuan mentioned the four families, Han Chen could imagine the powerful background of the four families.
He thought of his Huaxuan Group, which was valued at trillions of dollars. Its strength could not be underestimated.
"Dad, what about the Han family?" Han Chen asked.”
"How does our family compare to the four great families?”
Han Xuan smiled." In terms of strength, our Han family is not inferior to any family in China. However, a family is particular about inheritance. If we can't guarantee that there will be an outstanding heir in every generation, we will eventually decline.”
"Just like the ancient dynasties of Xia Country, it's impossible for every generation to have an outstanding heir. Therefore, in at most a few hundred years, the dynasty would decline and eventually be replaced.”
Looking at Han Chen's thoughtful expression, Han Xuan gave an example.""Just like the current Shang Family, the family's inheritance is starting to break. The younger generation of the same generation as you all only rely on a woman to support the family. This means that the Shang Family is already on the decline.”
Han Xuan was not the only one who understood. Basically, all the famous and wealthy families in the capital could see clearly that the Shang family was now in its final glory.
Once Old Master Shang passed away, who knew how many people would covet this piece of meat?
He just didn't know if Shang Xiurong, who would take over as the head of the Shang Family, would have the ability to protect the family business.
Although Huaxuan Group was powerful, many people had underestimated Han Xuan's strength.
Han Xuan had been able to develop into one of the top ten corporations in the world from nothing in just over a decade. This kind of success was basically impossible to replicate. If not for the system, Han Xuan would not have been able to do it.
However, no one knew that Han Xuan had a system that only existed in their fantasies.
To be able to expand the Huaxuan Group to such an extent in such a short period of time and still maintain 8% of the group's shares, Han Xuan's ability was even inferior to the leaders of the four major families.
Huaxuan Group's business was mostly industrial. It was not an emerging internet company that was in a bubble, nor did it rely on going public to increase the group's market value.
No one could have imagined that Han Xuan could control 82% of Huaxuan Group's shares.
This was because Han Xuan's subordinates were extremely generous and had given out a lot of shares. Otherwise, he would have been able to control even more.
If the news that Han Xuan controlled 82% of the Huaxuan Group's shares spread, the four families and even the Qin family would probably be unable to sit still.
When money reached a certain level, one could really become a god.
Such a huge asset could control a few small countries.
Han Xuan's eyes fell on Han Chen and he said solemnly,""Little Chen, it's up to you whether the Han family can develop into a family that can be passed down in the future.”
" During your growth, there will be countless eyes staring at you, hoping that you can grow, or praying that you make mistakes. If you want to inherit Dad's wealth, then you'll be under a lot of pressure.”
