Three thousand guests under the Chunshen Gate, five feet south of Xiaodu City. Du Yuesheng's life is legendary, from an unknown into the Ten Mile Ocean Field, and finally the cockroach was repaired into a dragon became one of the three tycoons of the qing gang, the largest gang in old Shanghai, calling the wind and rain, and covering the sky with one hand. People say that "Zhang Xiaolin will fight, Gold Rong loves money, and Du Yuesheng will be a man", this statement is not false.
Du Yuesheng this person can speculate, good power, whether it is a former Qing dynasty elder, the national government high-level, warlord politicians, or celebrities, industrial and commercial giants, cultural masters, he is full of friends, the real "cup is always full of wine, the table is full."
But it is such a "green dragon" who has been turning clouds and rain in Shanghai, and he has also been kidnapped by "small shrimp rice", which can't help but make people wonder.
Heroes don't ask for provenance
Heroes are not afraid of low birth, the key is to have a good brain. Du Yuesheng's parents died since childhood, and when he was 14 years old, he went to the fruit shop as an apprentice, and the teenager's heart was uncertain, and he was associated with hooligans and gangsters all day long, addicted to gambling, and was soon expelled.
Later, Du Yuesheng worshiped Chen Shichang of the Qing Gang as an "old man" and used Chen Shichang's connections to enter the Golden Rong Mansion, which at that time was the number one tycoon in Shanghai.
Du Yuesheng, with his cleverness and ability to be a man, soon won the blue eye of Golden Glory, promoted him to do opium transportation, and was also responsible for the Gongxing Club, one of the three major casinos in the French Concession. Du Yuesheng can be a man, he is good at correcting contracts, and he also hooks up with local warlords, and gradually becomes the most powerful one in the opium shipment.
In July 1925, Du Yuesheng, who was already well-fledged, established the "Sanxin Company" under the protection of the French Concession and the warlords of the authorities, monopolized the opium transportation of the French Concession, and together with Jin Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin, he was called the "Three Tycoons of Shanghai", and became the chairman of the General Federation of Chambers of Commerce of the French Concession, covering the sky with his hands in Shanghai. There are three bowls of noodles that are the most difficult to eat: human noodles, scenes, and love noodles.
Du Yuesheng wandered between warlords and black forces, grabbed a lot of money through opium trafficking, casinos and other activities, and his business experience was never just in and out, but used this money to attract people from all walks of life, up to the political and business circles, down to the three religions and nine streams, weaving a huge network of contacts
As Du Yuesheng said: Money is sometimes exhausted, and friendship is not used up.
The War of Resistance did not fall behind
In August 1937, following the Lugou Bridge Incident, the Japanese army extended its minions to Shanghai, and the people of Shanghai, like the people of the whole country, resolutely did not succumb to the foreign invaders, heroically and fearlessly threw themselves into the War of Resistance, and vowed to coexist and die with the motherland. Under the general trend of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Du Yuesheng actively participated in the Shanghai Anti-Enemy Rescue Association from all walks of life and served as the director of the fundraising committee.
Du Yuesheng participated in the activities of the labor army, used his long-term accumulated contacts, raised a large number of materials to send to the Anti-Enemy Support Association, and even used some special channels to get the extremely scarce and necessary communication equipment and armored insurance vehicles in the troops to send to our party generals.
Du Yuesheng, as a tycoon of the Qing gang, did not earn less than all kinds of ill-gotten gains, but when the country was in crisis, he did not make a big fortune in the country, but chose to defend the country together with the broad masses of the people, and even said that if the Japanese army used the concession to fight Chinese, he Du Yuesheng would destroy the concession in two hours, so bloody that all the Chinese and honorable.
After the fall of Shanghai, Du Yuesheng refused the offer of the Japanese army, bluntly saying that he was a Chinese citizen who was hindered by the country and the nation, and did not dare to obey his fate, and chose to leave Shanghai for Hong Kong. Zhang Xiaolin and Jin Jinrong, who are also the "three tycoons" in Shanghai, the former led people to surrender to the enemy army, and the latter chose to live in seclusion in Shanghai and wait for the storm.
Only Du Yuesheng, even if he moved to Hong Kong, still used his ability to contribute to the War of Resistance.
In 1940, with the support of the Nationalist government, Du Yuesheng united the various Chinese gangs to form a people's action committee, with Du Yuesheng as the main person in charge, becoming the veritable leader of the Chinese gangs.
Dragon Swim Shoal was played by shrimp
In December 1941, after the outbreak of the Pacific War, Du Yuesheng moved to Chongqing again, by which time Nanjing had fallen, and the Nationalist government moved to Chongqing to continue the war. After Du Yuesheng arrived in Chongqing, thanks to the personal connections that he had spent a lot of money to build, he was also prosperous in Chongqing.
He founded the Hengshe Headquarters, expanded his power to the rear area, and at the same time organized the Zhonghua Trading Company, tongji company, etc. to exchange materials with the occupied areas, and made a fortune. But Du Yuesheng couldn't have imagined that someone would have the audacity to beat up his own idea.
One day, Du Yuesheng had just finished his business, after coming out, he didn't see his car, and he was wondering, when suddenly a military car sped up and stopped in front of him, Du Yuesheng secretly said that it was not good, and before he could make a move, two big men in the shape of Biao came down and involuntarily coerced Du Yuesheng into the car.
As a tycoon of the Qing Gang, Du Yuesheng naturally knew that he was kidnapped, his face was calm, but his heart could not help but be a little anxious, was it that he would die at the hands of Xiao Xiao in such an inexplicable way?
Du Yuesheng in the end is in the wind and waves broke through, quickly calmed down, in a very peaceful tone to ask the robbers what they wanted, if only to try to get rich can be reported, the robbers are not ambiguous, bluntly said only for money, to Du Yuesheng to take out 400,000 to buy life.
At the price of more than 200 at that time, 400,000 was really a lion's mouth.
But Du Yuesheng did not think so, he said to the robbers: "You want 400,000, I will give you 900,000, but you just obey the orders.
Take some
Hard work should also be, after the money is in hand, you will immediately go away and fly high, and Du will never pursue it. ”
When the robbers heard that there was such a good thing, they could not help but be more earnest and respectful to Du Yuesheng, and they took a bite of Boss Du. Subsequently, Du Yuesheng took 900,000 yuan and handed it to the robbers, and personally sent them away. The robbers were impressed by Du Yuesheng's people, and although they did not directly say who was directly instructed, they revealed the license plate number, and Du Yuesheng's influence found out that it was only a trivial matter.
Du Yuesheng found Out Jin Rong when he checked this investigation, and before Xingshi could question him, Jin Jin Rong came with a letter of apology. It turned out that Jin Rong did not defect to the Japanese army in Shanghai, and all kinds of businesses plummeted, becoming increasingly embarrassed, and there were a bunch of people under him to support.
Du Yuesheng was once his little brother again, embarrassed to open his mouth directly, so he made this decision. Du Yuesheng has always been very respectful to Jin Rong, and seeing that big brother is so embarrassed, he will no longer pursue it.
In 1945, after the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, Du Yuesheng immediately returned to Shanghai, preparing for a comeback, and later participated in the election of the president of the Shanghai Senate, Du Yuesheng was undoubtedly elected, but Du Yuesheng was well versed in power techniques, knew that the Nationalist government did not support him, and immediately resigned, Mingzhe to protect himself.
In 1949, when all of China was about to be liberated, the chairman of the committee found Du Yuesheng and hoped that he would follow him to Taiwan, and our party also contacted Du Yuesheng through channels and asked him to stay in Shanghai.
The jianghu is not fighting, killing, killing, and killing, the jianghu is human. Du Yuesheng showed this sentence vividly, he said that people can not be illiterate, but they cannot fail to recognize people, and they would rather offend gentlemen than provoke villains. In his lifetime, he does not value money, but he has a wide range of good relations, and when he is evil, he can earn all the ill-gotten gains; when he is for the country, he can also scatter thousands of gold.
When Du Yuesheng was dying, he burned all the IOUs, cut off this life, and told his children: You have hope, everyone has hope, and China has hope. Du Yuesheng does not want his children to follow their own old path, "once they enter the jianghu field, they are not by people", this is the great wisdom of life, when followed without worry.
