After 1945, the War of Resistance Against Japan was won, but the Chinese Civil War began. China was caught in the era of the Great Depression, so it was necessary to reform the situation. Jiang Gong began to prepare for the implementation of a new monetary system, that is, the golden yuan coupon system.
But the Great Depression at that time was actually caused by large families with millions of family fortunes, or gangs with heavy powers. They hoard american goods in order to raise the price of domestic goods, so that the people at the bottom have difficulties. Therefore, the implementation of a new economic policy must begin with these "big tigers".
Jiang Gong sent his son Chiang Ching-kuo to Shanghai to deal with the big guys who were hoarding goods. And Chiang Ching-kuo also deserved the name of "the first prince", and immediately took action after arriving in Shanghai. But those big guys in Shanghai are not so easy to deal with, such as Du Yuesheng, Jin Rong, which one is good?
But fortunately, these people are not monolithic, and large and small gangs such as the Green Gang Hong Gang and the Axe Gang are all in competition with each other. For example, Jin Jinrong was not accustomed to Du Yuesheng coming to the top, originally just a younger brother under him, and finally rose to a higher status than him.
So taking advantage of this opportunity, Jin Jinrong wanted to use this to pull Du Yuesheng off the horse. Therefore, he secretly contacted Chiang Ching-kuo and sent the evidence he had collected about Du Yuesheng's son Du Weiping's disturbance of financial hoarding and stock speculation to Chiang Ching-kuo. If there was any meat in his mouth that he did not eat, Jiang Chingguo arrested Du Weiping and sentenced him to prison.
Some people in their hands were not panicked, and Jiang Chingguo wanted to use Du Weiping to threaten Du Yuesheng to obey. After Du Yuesheng knew that, he was furious, and he couldn't even take care of the elegance he had always shown. But the big guy was the big guy after all, and he didn't directly confront Chiang Ching-kuo, but detoured to find Kong Lingkan.
Kong Lingkan is the most beloved nephew of Chiang Ching-kuo's stepmother, Song Meiling, and one of the financial criminals who hoard goods and speculate in stocks like Du Weiping. Song Meiling is extremely fond of this nephew, and even if she is at odds with her sister Song Xiaoling, she has not lost her love for her nephew.
So through this relationship, Du Yuesheng directly collected the evidence of Kong Lingkan's hoarding of goods and stocks and threw it on Chiang Ching-kuo's desk, saying to Chiang Ching-kuo: "I will not exonerate my son, but if I want to do Du Weiping, I must do It together with Kong Lingkan, so that it is fair."
In fact, this is to use Kong Lingkan to threaten Song Meiling and let Song Meiling save his son. The discord between Chiang Ching-kuo and Song Meiling is well known, so Chiang Ching-kuo did not initially take care of Song Meiling's request that he let Du Weiping go. And Song Meiling's love for her nephew is also well known. In order to save Kong Lingkan, she turned around and wrote a letter to her husband Jiang Gong.
Jiang Gong's attitude of caring for Song Meiling is even more widely known. Chiang Ching-kuo, who took it for granted, was scolded by Jiang Gong, and Did not dare to disobey his father's orders, could only release Kong Lingkan in the end. This time, the economic reform policy can only end in failure, but it also makes prices soar and the economic system collapse directly.
This game between the Nationalist government and the Shanghai gangsters, a set of combination punches down in the end or Du Yuesheng won. The open and secret struggle between the first family of the Republic of China is also breathtaking, but this also proves that the Corruption and Unbearable of the Republic of China, the major affairs of the state are not as good as the small things of the family, and really regard the country as the back garden of their own family?
