In many movies, we can see that in old China, Shanghai was a place where celebrities and rich people gathered. And many of the celebrities who can stand here are also non-rich and expensive, and among these people we have to mention a person who was once known as the boss of the Shanghai Gang.
It is no exaggeration to say that in that era, he stomped his feet in this part of Shanghai in black and white, and it is estimated that it can spread throughout the whole Shanghai Beach. Speaking of this, everyone can probably guess that he is Du Yuesheng who is skilled.
To talk about Lao Du's ability, it is difficult for ordinary people to reach. Let's think about it, he can go from a small miscreant who has wandered from other places to the streets of Shanghai, and all the way through the thorns to become the leader of the Shanghai Green Gang, whose wisdom, courage and ability are self-evident.
And we should know that the Green Gang was mainly a business team that operated shipping and trading from the beginning of its establishment, and finally developed into a gang with the dock as a gathering place for various reasons. In this peak period of tens of thousands of people, the main link of business, if there is not enough economic strength, it is impossible to become a leader.
In the decades of hard work, Du Yuesheng has indeed accumulated a lot of wealth by virtue of his superior ability and shrewd means, and it is precisely because of this that people call him one of the three tycoons in Shanghai.
Since he was called a tycoon, and he was the richest tycoon in All of China at that time, he must have a lot of property in his hands, according to historical records, when Du Yuesheng was at his most brilliant, his personal wealth could add up to more than the total assets of the three banks at that time.
If the concept is a bit vague, let's start with some specific numbers.
At that time, Lao Du had nearly ten cars in his hand, according to the market at that time, just the last license plate would cost twenty or thirty-two gold, so how much was a car worth? We do the math for ourselves and we know it's not a small number. At that time, the people who could drive the car were already considered to be rich and noble figures, and for Du Yuesheng at that time, the car could only be regarded as a toy, not only the car could not be driven, but at that time, he hired a driver and security personnel to be enough for a platoon.
In addition, do you know how much money Lao Du spends on all aspects of the expenditure every year? Nearly 2 million oceans, and the average income of an ordinary Shanghai resident at that time was only nearly 100 oceans, it is conceivable that if these money are converted to today, his expenditure alone is about 200 million.
We've all heard of the Du Mansion, but how much did it cost to build it? According to records, nearly 500,000 oceans were spent, what is this concept? At that time, buying a six-room courtyard was about seven or eight hundred oceans, and from this point you can imagine the luxury of this place.
Therefore, for Du Yuesheng in the most brilliant time, don't talk about money, in his eyes money can really be counted as dung.
However, the biggest feature of Lao Du this person is also in the view of money is very light, although he is particularly rich, but he is not like several other tycoons, he does not care at all about the money in his hands, who has difficulties, he is willing to spend a lot of money to help others, that is, the most inferior people ask for him, he is willing to help, never care about personal gains and losses. So that after his death, there was very little money left for his children and grandchildren, and the documents left by others to borrow money from him were destroyed by him.
Perhaps because of his righteousness, although he has also done some bad things that make him spit and curse, he has been able to scatter his money in this life, and he has done a lot of good things with the money in his hands, and finally won the recognition and respect of many people, and there are still many things worthy of our serious consideration at this point.
