"A person's fate is mainly in his own hands." - Bacon
In the old Shanghai, although it was in a turbulent period, the prosperity here was never reduced by more than half a point. At that time, although Shanghai was controlled by some regimes in turn, the so-called strong dragon could not suppress the snake, in fact, Shanghai had always been in the hands of the Green Gang. The leader of jinbang is the famous jinrong.
Speaking of Golden Rong, at that time, shanghai beach can be said to be known to everyone, with a big family and a terrible power. Military and political leaders from all sides in Shanghai, various political parties, and various social organizations have all given way to the Green Gang, and Jin Jinrong is the leader of such a prosperous situation as the Green Gang.
Speaking of which, in fact, Jin Rong was originally just a small pawn who was not known to the people, but he came out of the many heroes haojie, became a dark horse, and sat all the way to the position of the big man of the Green Gang.
So, what ability did Jin Rong have to become the most interpreted ground snake in Shanghai, where the forces of all parties were very complex at that time?
In fact, the road to prosperity of Jin Rong, if you really want to count it carefully, can be described as stepping on people's heads, step by step to rise. He has offended many people, but he has also won the support of many people, he has had countless evils, but he has also done some good deeds.
First, the good deeds of Jin Rong
Jin Rong did not like to read books since he was a child, he felt that reading was not interesting at all, and even if he read books, he might not be able to do anything. At that time, educated intellectuals, although respected, were always vulnerable to bullying, and even those big intellectuals still had no say in the face of warlord forces.
Jin Rong, who does not like to read, has another advantage, that is, he is very good at dealing with people. Jin Rong was originally a hooligan from the underworld, and he was very familiar with the people on the underworld, and he also relied on his ability to communicate with people to handle his relationship with the people on the underworld very smoothly.
Later, in a fortuitous coincidence, such a rogue as Jin Rong actually became a patrol. At that time, although there were military and police forces in Shanghai, in the face of endless harassment by small, military and police forces were useless. Although these little do not kill people and set fires, they are still good at robbery and harassment.
The regular military and police simply do not have such a large manpower and material resources to deal with these little. The relationship between Jin Rong and the underworld is very good, and he does not have any black history, so he was selected as a patrol to fight evil with evil. This was also a compromise at the time, as long as no major crimes occurred, the local security forces could be compromised. From this, Jin Rong began his road to prosperity.
Since Jin Jinrong had a good relationship with these little bastards, it was natural for him to get information from these people. Therefore, he did not use many years, and through his own identity of patrolling, he solved cases all the way, became famous, and amassed wealth. So Jin Rong formed with his own strength, and later ran amok in Shanghai.
After the Green Gang, Jin Rong's boldness grew, and his handling began to become lawless. In order to pursue high profits, he began to sell opium in Shanghai, opened a harmful casino, and in Shanghai Beach, the name of Jin Rong, since then, can be said to be known to everyone.
Although in the eyes of outsiders, Jin Rong is an infinite existence, but behind the scenes, Jin Rong himself feels very afraid. At that time, shortly after the fall of the Qing Dynasty, there were a lot of superstitious ideas in the folk, and Jin Rong was also influenced by religion, and he felt that the achievements he had achieved had done too many sins along the way, and he had many enemies. In order to avoid karmic retribution, Jin Rong turned to the Buddha, hoping that he could use the Dharma to atone for his sins.
However, as a big gangster in the Green Gang, he naturally can't let others see the fear in his heart, otherwise he won't be able to gain a foothold in Shanghai Beach. So he usually pretended to be completely unbelieving in Buddhism. Make such a look in front of people, but behind the scenes, this green gang leader is praying all night.
Later, one of Jin Rong's subordinates, after learning of Jin Rong's temper, made a suggestion to Jin Rong, saying that if he wanted to atone for the sins that Jin Rong had committed before, it was good to ask God to worship the Buddha, but the best way was to do good deeds.
Therefore, he suggested to Jin Rong that he might as well build a porridge shack on the street of Shanghai Beach and give porridge rice to those who were too poor to fill their stomachs for free, which was a good thing with immeasurable merit.
At that time, Shanghai Beach was a famous international metropolis, and although it was overcrowded, there were still many opportunities compared to the harsh rural areas. As a result, many people displaced by the war rushed to Shanghai, and they had no jobs and no money, and for a while it was difficult to gain a foothold in Shanghai, so they could only go to the streets to beg. If Jin Rong gave them a porridge to fill their stomachs, then they would surely be grateful to him. Thinking of this layer, Jin Rong immediately sent someone to set out to build a porridge shack.
But the opposite happened, and what made Jin Jinrong feel incredible happened, that is, even if it was given to the people for free, the people's notoriety of JinRong had long been commonplace, and for a while they did not dare to come to his porridge shed to drink porridge, for fear that JinRong would give them a set.
However, barefoot people are not afraid to wear shoes, whether they are starving to death or being scared away by Jin Rong, they are always dead, and it is also good to be a full ghost. So some people who were really hungry finally came to Jin Rong's porridge shed to drink porridge. After drinking for a few days, nothing bad happened, so these poor people in Shanghai were relieved and bold to go to the porridge shed of Jinrong to drink porridge.
Although the golden rong day into the gold, but for the porridge shed account, he has to personally look at it every day, because he is worried that someone will take his money and run to enjoy it. Even if it is spent indiscriminately and embezzled the money that Jin Rong uses to do good deeds, it will also have an impact on Jin Rong's charitable actions.
Second, the appearance of a giant
After the establishment of the porridge shed of Golden Rong, two weeks passed in a flash, and there were a large number of people in the porridge house every day, who came to drink porridge for free, and The good deeds of Golden Rong can be said to have been achieved. But two weeks later, the accounts of the porridge shed suddenly began to double. This made Jin Rong anxious, there were so many people who ate every day, how could it suddenly double, but the cost was more than doubled, this must be someone who coveted Jin Rong's money. So Jin Rong rushed to the porridge shed, he wanted to see if the porridge eaten by the displaced people had become thinner and thinner.
It doesn't matter if you don't look, you are shocked to see that next to JinRong's porridge shed, 2 meters 5 meters tall, a small porridge bowl, in his hand like an ant, he drank a bowl of porridge after a few sips. How could this small bowl of porridge fill the giant's stomach, so he squeezed into the crowd and asked for alms again, which was the reason for the sharp increase in the cost of the porridge shed.
So, Jin Rong went to the giant's side and personally inquired about his origins, and he had some doubts about whether the hostile forces had sent people to his porridge shed. The giant told him that he was originally from a peasant background, because he was too tall and large, the amount of food was several times larger than ordinary people, and the family could not continue to provide for him by eating too much, so he drove him out and let him make a living for himself, he had helped to do some hard work, but because he ate too much, he was driven out by the foreman not long after, and he heard that Jin Rong had opened a porridge shack here, so he came here to drink free porridge every day.
After listening to the giant's story, Jin Rong pondered a little and led him home.
In Jin Rong's home, this giant eats openly, and every meal can be full, and Jin Jin Rong adopts him in this way, in fact, he has his own considerations.
At that time, there was an entertainment venue under the name of Golden Rong, which was the main source of income for Golden Rong, and with the continuous development of Shanghai Beach, everyone was red-eyed by the profits generated by this type of entertainment venue. So there are more and more places, and the business of this place of Golden Rong is getting worse and worse, so Golden Rong has been trying to find ways to revitalize the income of his own place.
After he adopted the giant, he built a shed in his entertainment place called the Great World, surrounded it with a tent, and arranged for the giant to eat in this tent.
Then, someone sent out the news, and when people knew about it, they came to see the giant. So I lined up to buy tickets and came to the big world entertainment venue of Golden Rong.
Ever since the giant came to the entertainment venue of Golden Rong,
Jin Rong's one-day income actually reached
200 oceans
，
And its cost is nothing more than a full meal for this giant.
Jin Rong's move can be described as killing two birds with one stone, he not only helped the giant to get a life, but also regained his popularity.
In any case, Jin Rong showed his personal business acumen in the face of giants. His willingness to use a giant as a gimmick to attract traffic and attention for himself, and then let these people buy his own products, is simply a genius in the marketing world. Powerful forces, coupled with his clever mind and vicious heart, so That's why Jin Rong can achieve his extraordinary achievements in Shanghai Beach.
brief summary
Overall, Jin Rong's move, although motivated by his personal desire to do good deeds, helped him realize his desire to make more profits. Whether his practice is a good deed or not is actually difficult to discern. The luckiest one is probably this giant, who went from being kicked out by his family without enough to eating enough to being full of food, there is a world of difference, no matter what the future of Jin Rong, this giant is definitely the final winner.
