Everyone's impression of the gang is probably the kind of no evil, because the momentary will can completely disregard life and regain face, right? After all, there is a saying called "people walk in the rivers and lakes, face can not be lost." But many times, face is earned by yourself, when you are strong enough, letting go of your face is humility, and when you are weak, letting go of your face is incompetent. Du Yuesheng is a good example.
Du Yuesheng can be said to be the same figure as the "godfather" of the old Shanghai beach gangsters, but in fact, his starting point is not good. It can even be said to be worse than the vast majority of people. Du Yuesheng was born in 1888 in Chuansha, Jiangsu Province, his parents died one after another, he was raised by relatives, and at the age of 14, he went to Shanghai alone to work hard.
Later, after being guided by others, he worshiped under the door of the Green Gang. At first, he worshiped Chen Shichang as an old man, and later because of his strong ability to do things. Introduced by Chen Shichang to the Shanghai Golden Rong Mansion, Du Yuesheng was only a small follower at the beginning. People grind in things, Du Yuesheng is no exception, he has always been proactive in doing things, and he never makes excuses to avoid it.
Once the opium of the Golden Rong family was stolen, and there was no clue how to find it. At this time, Du Yuesheng stood up and said: Madam, let me run, Jin Jinrong and Lin Guisheng felt that Du Yuesheng was too eager to do it, so they responded casually. Unexpectedly, Du Yuesheng really stole the opium and brought it back.
Du Yuesheng made a great contribution, and Jin Rong also intended to test him. So he rewarded Du Yuesheng with a huge amount of money of two thousand oceans, wanting to see how Du Yuesheng would spend this money. If he takes a gambling on eating, drinking, and gambling, then he will be just a little for life, and if he takes a house and land, he is just an ordinary person with no ambition.
However, after Du Yuesheng took this money, he shared it with his brothers. Upon hearing this news, Jin Rong immediately sighed, "After I die, the Green Gang will be Du Yuesheng's." But what he never expected was that before he died, the Green Gang had slowly become Du Yuesheng's.
For example, in July 1925, Du Yuesheng established the "Sanxin Company" to monopolize the transportation of opium in the French Concession. At the same time, many casinos have been opened in various parts of Shanghai, and they have used their skills in dealing with the world to attract big men from all over the world to come to the scene. The power of the Green Gang has also grown.
Once, Jin Jinrong offended Lu Xiaojia, the son of Lu Yongxiang, the overseer of Zhejiang, and was directly captured. In order to repay Jin Rong's promotion, Du Yuesheng ran in many ways. Finally, he agreed to give a large number of shares of Sanxin Company to Lu Yongxiang in vain, and the other party agreed to release him.
By the 1930s, Du Yuesheng's fame and status in the gang had already overshadowed the golden glory. When people volumeize the three tycoons on the beach, they are all said to be "Du Huangzhang". This also made the founder of Jin Rong gradually develop a jealous heart. Such an interesting thing happened at a cocktail party.
At a cocktail party, people frequently blow bottles Du Yuesheng is an industrialist is the chairman. This word reached Jin Rong's ear, and Jin Rong slapped his wine glass on the table and immediately said: I remember that when I founded Jin Rong Public School, I was the chairman of the board, and at my suggestion, he became an ordinary director.
Everyone stopped making a sound, which Du Yuesheng said very respectfully: But there is such a thing, you will always be my benefactor. After hearing this sentence, Jin Jinrong was satisfied and showed a proud face, but more people secretly gave Du Yuesheng a thumbs up, thinking that he could afford to put it down, and from this point, he could also see Du Yuesheng's way of dealing with the world.
