Speaking of the modern Shanghai Beach, many people should be impressed by Du Yuesheng, he was fourteen years old to worship Chen Shichang of the Qing Gang as the boss, and then entered the Golden Rong Mansion to do things, followed by the Golden Rong, after getting the approval of the Golden Rong, gradually began his life.
At that time, Du Yuesheng, who was becoming more and more prestigious in the Green Gang, was involved in a wide range of businesses, including casinos, opium, banks, etc.
Especially in the field of opium, Du Yuesheng can be said to be a complete monopoly, and the entire opium industry in Shanghai Beach was respected by his Sanxin company, and the entire French Concession at that time provided opium for his Sanxin company.
Just when the opium business was getting bigger and bigger, Du Yuesheng began to enter the financial industry and founded the famous Zhonghui Bank.
Not only that, du Yuesheng's social status was also very high at that time, and there were many titles added to him, he was not only the Director of the French Concession Bureau Hua Dong (this position was the highest position of the Chinese in the French Concession at that time), but also after the establishment of the National Government in Nanjing, he was given the title of Major General of the Military Commission.
And Du Yuesheng, who has a double harvest in business and social status, naturally has a rising fortune.
In Shanghai Beach at that time, private cars were rare, but Du Yuesheng not only had private cars, but also had as many as nine. According to people familiar with the matter, the Du Mansion costs about two million oceans a year, and once again, how rich Du Yuesheng is in terms of business and social status.
Of course, living in the turbulent years, Du Yuesheng also made a lot of contributions to the cause of the War of Resistance with his strong financial resources. For example, Du Yuesheng once ordered 120 military aircraft from the United States Curtis-Wright and donated all of them to the National Government, and it should be known that counting these 120 aircraft, Chiang Kai-shek has a total of only 150 aircraft.
So, Du Yuesheng was actually so rich, so what was his wealth in that year?
We can infer his wealth from some of his living expenses.
Speaking of cars, this is now an indicator of wealth for many people, and cars, in the Republic of China period, were definitely the top luxury goods, and the price was extremely high. The price of a car was 4,000 yuan at that time.
From the perspective of the drivers who pulled rickshaws on the beach that year, it is very good to earn 100 oceans a year, a luxury car 4000 oceans, equivalent to the ordinary rickshaw driver's 40 years of hard money without eating or drinking, 9 luxury cars, equal to 1 rickshaw for 360 years of hard money.
If these rickshaw drivers are put in the present, according to the annual salary of 100,000 per person, this number is not high in Shanghai, and these 9 luxury cars will be converted into 36 million yuan. The money used to buy a car has reached this number, compared to the current Wang Sicong, it is not certain that Wang Sicong will fall a few streets!
This is not to mention, Du Yuesheng donated 120 fighters to Chiang Kai-shek, and the money spent on these fighters is simply not comparable to that of nine luxury cars. Of course, this money is unlikely to make Du Yuesheng seriously injured.
So in general, the total property of Du Yuesheng in that year can be calculated in tens of billions of units.
