Enterprises of major families generally concentrate shares in one person to maintain their status.
Take Chu Corporation, for example.
If Chu Corporation's future stocks were divided into three parts, distributed equally among three children, and each of those children later had their own families, the Chu Corporation would effectively become fragmented as the shares dispersed.
By doing so, each of the three children would hold an insignificant say in the company, and if those children later had children of their own, and the process of division continued... the stocks of Chu Corporation would be scattered within thirty years. If someone were determined, by collecting some of these scattered shares to exceed the shareholding of the Chus, Chu Corporation would essentially have to change its surname.
Therefore, large families usually choose one heir, while the remaining children have only dividend rights.
