Cao Xueqin once wrote in "Dream of the Red Chamber", everything is insightful and learned, and human feelings are trained to be articles.
In fact, when people live in the world, they can never escape from human feelings, and those who do not understand human feelings and sophistication are difficult to move forward. Du Yuesheng also had an experience that there are three bowls of noodles in life that are the most difficult to eat, human noodles, scenes and love noodles. But apparently, he was a good member of the three bowls of noodles, and the reason why he was able to make a big splash on the beach was also because of this.
Du Yuesheng grew up in a poor life, before the age of four, his parents died, and he was sent to the fence for many years. In the early years, as a small person at the bottom of society, what did he not see, what did he not do? However, because of this, it gave him the opportunity to exercise and eat these three bowls of noodles in advance. At the age of fourteen, Du Yuesheng entered the Green Gang and ran errands under the Golden Glory. At that time, Jin Rong was already a figure with a head and a face, and later Du Yuesheng was able to achieve such an achievement, which was inseparable from his trust in Jin Rong.
Soon after entering, he can gain the trust of a green gang boss, which shows his ability, and the first of his wisdom is not to make eternal enemies. Take his opinion that he once handled contradictions and conflicts, when a disciple under Du Yuesheng clashed with Wang Yaqiao because of a steamship. Logically, if you want to really fight, Du Yuesheng can recruit thousands of people at will. Wang Yaqiao was also unreasonable at that time, but Du Yuesheng took the initiative to show weakness, personally giving Wang Yaqiao money, losing the ship, and even apologizing for the wine.
Is he unable to offend Wang Yaqiao? No, it was in him, there was no eternal enemy. After this incident passed, people still thought that Lord Du Yuesheng had a large number of people who could tolerate people. There are many more things like this, and then there is that even if he tears his face, he will not be complete. For example, Shen Xingshan and others who had competed with him, originally Du Yuesheng had driven him out of Shanghai, but afterwards he was generously reconciled with him. In the end, Shen Xingshan and others became a member of Sanxin Company and served him a lot.
Du Yuesheng seems to be friendly to everyone, treating the deposed president Li Yuanhong kindly and receiving the master of traditional Chinese studies, Zhang Taiyan. In exchange, Li Yuanhong's party praised him as the contemporary Chunshen Jun, and his social status continued to rise. Another wisdom is that the national righteousness is never ambiguous, which is also the reason why he is a gangster boss, but he has a good reputation. On May 15, 1925, the Japanese abused child labor, and Du Yuesheng, the most powerful person in Shanghai, stood up again.
Cancel all social gatherings, attend popular meetings, and propose anti-Japanese resistance to the Japanese. In June of the following year, more than 100,000 workers were left without a livelihood due to a prolonged strike. Du Yuesheng stood up again, took the lead in donating money himself, and mobilized the business community to donate. I have to say that no matter how superficial kung fu or how, his move is undoubtedly very beautiful. On the other hand, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, it participated in the Anti-Enemy Support Association and was even willing to participate in military operations.
In just a few months, the donations he presided over raised reached more than 1.5 million yuan, which strongly supported the war of resistance ahead. Hearing that the Japanese wanted to send troops through the French lease, Du Yuesheng passed the news to the 19th Route Army and threatened to die together if they agreed. He also gave up a few of his own ships, led other steamship companies, blocked the Yangtze River channel, and delayed the Japanese attack. The small things are not calculated, the harmony with everyone, the big things are not ambiguous, and they have won him a good reputation.
Du Yuesheng may have a lot of stains on his body, which cannot be said to be a simple good person, but it is not a dark mess. His way of dealing with the world is truly powerful, as he himself said, money is used up, but friendship is not used up. When he was in the limelight, he relied not only on the intimidation of the Green Gang, but more importantly on the massive network and the accurate grasp of the timing.
