Du Yuesheng's original name was Du Yuesheng, at that time he was still a poor boy, his father and mother died early, but his stepmother and uncle were still okay with him, and did not let him wander around and live alone, but after all, the family was poor, and the hard days were not less, and Du Yuesheng was unwilling to roll in the mire of poverty all his life.
But when you are young, there are not many things you can do, how to get out of the poor situation? Du Yuesheng thought of gambling, the first few times Du Yuesheng did win, but then he lost almost even the ancestral house to sell, is this not annoying? The family could not afford Du Yuesheng's "big Buddha", so he let him fend for himself outside.
At the beginning of the last century, Shanghai was already a bustling port and economic and financial center in the Far East, and the "Ten Mile Ocean Field" also attracted many people to go, hoping to open up a world of their own in Shanghai, and 14-year-old Du Yuesheng followed a group of people from Suzhou to Shanghai.
At first, Du Yuesheng was an apprentice in the Shanghai Sixteen Shop Fruit Shop, but Du Yuesheng's heart was not willing to sell fruit, but in order to survive in Shanghai, Du Yuesheng had to sell fruit first, and at the same time choose the opportunity to get ahead.
And Du Yuesheng used a set of roads when selling fruits, which was definitely a golden idea at that time, and many factories are using it now. Du Yuesheng himself is not a peaceful person, and honestly apprenticed to the fruit shop, with a meager income, only barely enough to eat, so Du Yuesheng began to play "routine".
Du Yuesheng every time he gets a tip, he will respectfully hand it over to the boss, the boss looks at it, he thinks that Du Yuesheng is a sensible person, although Du Yuesheng does not have to pay a tip, you can collect it privately, but the money goes into the boss's pocket, the boss must not trust Du Yuesheng more, and he is eager to have more such apprentices.
But Du Yuesheng is just "put a long line to catch big fish", Du Yuesheng first arrived in Shanghai, no money, no power and no relatives, it is not so easy to get ahead, but the boss is different, he has gained a firm foothold in Shanghai, although the income is not very much, but there are still connections, and this is what Du Yuesheng is looking for.
After winning the trust of the boss, the boss will introduce more customers to him, in addition, Du Yuesheng did not let himself "suffer losses", he slightly increased the price when quoting, and the higher part of the price still entered Du Yuesheng's pocket.
But Du Yuesheng is still difficult to change the habit of gambling, he wants to get rid of the status quo too much, but it is to lose back, lose empty-handed, at this time Du Yuesheng thought of a trick, that is, to let customers who book fruit pay in advance, of course, pay in advance, the price will also be preferential, which is also a "routine" that many companies are using today.
Later, Du Yuesheng recognized the people of the Qing Gang and felt that this road was feasible, so he worshiped Chen Shichang of the Qing Gang as an old man and coaxed Chen Shichang to be happy again. Through the relationship between Chen Shichang and others, Du Yuesheng entered the Golden Rong Mansion.
At first, he was also a little, but Du Yuesheng never did anything reckless, he must have thought of his own interests in advance, if he was polite to himself, Du Yuesheng was also open-minded, and Jin Rong's wife Lin Guisheng appreciated Du Yuesheng very much, and felt that this person was different from others and was not ordinary.
Gradually, Du Yuesheng's identity rose to a higher level, and after gaining the trust of Jin Rong, Du Yuesheng began to be responsible for operating the casino "Gongxing Club" in the French Concession, and later entangled with the gangs, colluded with warlords, and sold opium.
In 1929, the 41-year-old Du Yuesheng sat in the seat of Hua Dong of the Gongdong Bureau, which was the highest position of the Chinese in the French Concession at that time, and in the same year Du Yuesheng founded the Zhonghui Bank and set foot in the financial industry in Shanghai. And Du Yuesheng knew how to advance and retreat, never nostalgic for the past glory, and before the change came, he resolutely left Shanghai and saved the second half of his glorious and rich life.
