When it comes to the old Shanghai Beach, you can't avoid the legendary figure of Du Yuesheng, who was born in 1889 and came to Shanghai in 1911, when he was only 22 years old. But in just a few years, he became the boss of the Green Gang, sitting on an equal footing with Jin Rong, and then dabbled in the business world, although he did not know how to do business, but relying on a large number of contacts and emotional intelligence, he still made a lot of money.
In 1930, Du Yuesheng served as the director of the French Concession Bureau, and gained a high social status, at that time, whether it was celebrities or businessmen and politicians, they all wanted to seduce Du Yuesheng, even Chiang Kai-shek. Because Du Yuesheng is a very moral person and has good interpersonal relations, everyone will find him to reconcile with him when something happens, and basically they can balance it, because it will give him face.
When the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression broke out in 1937, the Japanese knew that he was powerful and wanted to cooperate with him, and could give him a generous reward, but Du Yuesheng refused. The Japanese threatened him several times and harassed him, Du Yuesheng just wouldn't let up, the Japanese were angry and corrupt, and began to retaliate against him, so angry that Du Yuesheng became seriously ill, Chiang Kai-shek advised him to go out and hide, so he took his family to Hong Kong, China.
In these days in Hong Kong, Du Yuesheng lived in poverty, often reaching out to others for money, because he was used to a good life and was used to spending a lot of money, so the money he brought over was quickly squandered. In 1945, after the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, Du Yuesheng hurried back to Shanghai, originally wanting to make a comeback, but did not expect that he had no chance.
Du Yuesheng asked Chiang Kai-shek for help, he had promised to give him the position of "Mayor of Shanghai", but Chiang Kai-shek ignored him, so this position had long been given to his apprentice Wu Shaoshu. Du Yuesheng thought that more was better than less, and if he didn't have it, he would be gone, and in order to have no worries in the future, he also made a special trip to visit Wu Shaoshu, who knew that Wu Shaoshu not only did not see him, but also openly attacked him.
Wu Shaoshu also installed his own people around him, monitoring his every move at any time, Du Yuesheng was angry, but he didn't say anything, and he kept being patient and humble. Wu Shaoshu also thought that Du Yuesheng was soft, so he was even more unscrupulous, and soon after, he regretted it, and it turned out that he had been waiting for another person to come back to avenge him, and this person was Dai Kasa.
Dai Kasa and Du Yuesheng are old friends, and when he heard that Wu Shaoshu treated Du Yuesheng like this, he was angry, but Dai Kasa was not a reckless person, and he wanted to come step by step. Dai Kasa first hosted a banquet for Du Yuesheng, invited people of prestige from all over Shanghai to come, and publicized Du Yuesheng's great achievements and brave deeds during the banquet, thus improving Du Yuesheng's status.
After that, Dai Kasa sent someone to investigate Wu Shaoshu, and it turned out that he was corrupt, and there were still many things, and the most corrupt one was to raid Shao Jun's home and not report it. After Collecting the Evidence, Dai Kasa did not call and directly let people raid Wu Shaoshu's home, and as a result, a large amount of money and gold and silver treasures were found in his safe, and his four aunts and wives also hid a lot of money.
Chiang Kai-shek was furious when he found out, dismissed him from his post, and for a time Wu Shaoshu became a street rat, and everyone shouted and beat him. If Wu Shaoshu did not have the ambition of a villain, it would be good for everyone to coexist peacefully, but he did not expect that although Du Yuesheng had no official position and money, his former friendship was still there, and he also studied with Du Yuesheng for a long time, but the most crucial point was not learned.
