Du Yuesheng was a very powerful figure in the Republic of China period, and was called together with The Golden Rong Zhang Xiaolin and so on
Three tycoons in Shanghai
。 On the reputation and status, I am afraid that few people at that time dared to compete with Du Yuesheng.
But such a well-known figure was kidnapped. At that time, after Du Yuesheng was kidnapped, the kidnappers asked him for 400,000 yuan, which was not a small amount.
But at that time, Du Yuesheng was relieved to hear 400,000. Because for Du Yuesheng at that time, all his achievements and status could not avoid offending some social gangs in the middle, if it was not seeking revenge, then things would naturally be easy to handle.
Surprisingly, the kidnapper only asked him for 400,000 yuan, but he took the initiative to increase the price to 900,000.
And in the end, after the transaction, he also escorted the kidnappers to leave safely, which was a strange move.
However, it was this move that made Du Yuesheng's master At that time, Jin Rong, dare not be ashamed, and even went to the door to thank him, what happened in the middle?
In February 1888, Du Yuesheng was born in Suzhou, his father Du Wenqing, who had worked as a runner in a teahouse, worked as a ding at the dock, and later cooperated with someone to open a grain store, but the business was miserable, and finally it was gone. Mother Chu would often help others wash their clothes to support the family.
In the summer of 1890, when the plague was circulating in Shanghai, the mother Zhu gave birth to a daughter. However, due to his extreme weakness, Chu died of illness. The father was helpless and gave his sister to others.
Then in 1892, his father, Du Wenqing, also unfortunately contracted an illness and eventually died.
At this time, Du Yuesheng was only 4 years old, unattended, and was later raised by his stepmother Zhang Shi.
But the fate is uncertain, and then Zhang Shi also mysteriously disappeared for no reason, living and not seeing people, dead and dead, which made Du Yuesheng completely become an orphan and live on the street all day. Until he was 14 years old, he went to a certain industry in Shanghai to work as an apprentice.
In order to gain a foothold, he entered Chen Shichang's door, and finally through Chen Shichang's relationship, he got the opportunity to enter the Golden Rong Mansion. It was also from then on that Du Yuesheng took it step by step, gaining a firm foothold in Shanghai through his own skills, until he became a tycoon who was tied with his master Jin Rong's status and reputation.
After entering Jin Rong's mansion, Du Yuesheng carefully observed the people around him while doing things, figuring out their personality preferences, and when he saw different people, he saw the opportunity to act in his favor. It is also in this way that Du Yuesheng, who can speak and do things, has made his life usher in the dawn of dawn from now on.
Jin Rong's wife is Lin Guisheng, known as Guisheng Sister. Lin Guisheng is intelligent and capable, and is deeply loved by Jin Rong. Once Lin Guisheng was seriously ill, Du Yuesheng took good care of him, which made Lin Guisheng also completely notice him.
After that, Du Yuesheng seized the opportunity and did several things that made Jin Rong and his wife praise, and gradually became the couple's confidant, and even later participated in Jin Rong's most confidential work, robbing opium.
Because of the business situation, the eight most powerful people in Shanghai at that time robbed opium,
It is known as the Eight Stocks Party
, but does not take the golden glory in his eyes.
At this moment, Du Yuesheng came out to give advice to Jin Rong,
In the end, a lot of wealth flowed into the pockets of the two.
afterward
Jin Jinrong and Du Yuesheng joined forces with another rogue leader, Zhang Xiaolin
Under the patronage of the concession and warlord authorities, the three men teamed up to open a company mainly engaged in the opium business and made a windfall.
Later, Du Yuesheng served as the head of Sanxin, and his power grew day by day, and his status was juxtaposed with that of The Golden Rong Zhang Xiaolin, and the three became the three tycoons of Shanghai who were once prominent.
Later, after Jin Jinrong, Zhang Xiaolin, and Du Yuesheng became the most prominent figures in Shanghai, the relationship between them also underwent subtle changes.
In particular, Du Yuesheng, who used superb means to make friends with celebrities all over the world, weaved a huge network of entangled and omnipresent forces, which was called Shanghai Beach
"Thick Black Sect Leader"
, his power developed to its peak, even surpassing his golden glory with one hand.
Speaking of this, I believe that everyone has already made a judgment about Du Yuesheng as a person. use
Underworld, big villain, old fritters
It's a perfect fit to describe this person.
And with his power and social status, I believe that few people dared to be brazen in front of Du Yuesheng at this time, but it was such a well-known figure who was kidnapped in the end, and I have to say how bold this person is!
On this day, Du Yuesheng went out to the bank to withdraw money, but who expected, just out of the gate, but was pulled into a jeep by several strong men, he understood that he had been kidnapped.
But after seeing the wind and waves, he did not panic, but seemed very calm.
But he also thought and speculated in his heart,
This is not an enemy seeking revenge.
All kinds of questions and incomprehensions really made him feel a wave in his heart.
At this moment, one of the bandits suddenly spoke,
When we meet Mr. Du for the first time, we do not want your life, as long as you are willing to pay a ransom of 400,000, we will naturally let you go unharmed.
Hearing the kidnappers say this, Du Yuesheng couldn't help but breathe a sigh of relief in his heart. Then Du Yuesheng naturally and happily agreed to the kidnapper's request, and finally chatted with the two of them, letting the bandits let down their guard.
After that, Du Yuesheng told the two,
As long as it doesn't hurt my life, 400,000 is a small thing. It's just that my life is probably not only worth 400,000, I give you 900,000, and the remaining 500,000 should be the hard money for the two brothers, and it should also be a reward for the two brothers not to hurt my life.
After listening, the kidnappers were dumbfounded, 400,000 was not a small amount, and it was actually increased to 900,000, which is estimated to be the first time in their lives that they encountered such a person who was kidnapped and even took the initiative to increase the price.
Looking at Du Yuesheng's determined and self-assured eyes, the kidnappers felt that what he should say was not false, and they believed it. But Du Yuesheng did not carry 900,000 with him at this time, and after that, he said with a full face of embarrassment, 900,000 is a large amount, he hopes that they will take him to find someone, this person absolutely has 900,000, he is
Liu Hangchen.
Liu Hangchen is a well-known local rich man, or Du Yuesheng's brother in distress. Once Liu Hangchen encountered trouble, and thanks to Du Yuesheng, Liu Hangchen was able to escape a disaster.
Later, after Liu Hangchen became the minister of finance, he wrote a blank check to Du Yuesheng, and the limit of this check was 1.5 million. As long as it does not exceed 1.5 million, Du Yuesheng can dispose of the money on this check at will.
And this time, Du Yuesheng chose Liu Hangchen to rescue, not only because he had this check of 1.5 million yuan.
The biggest goal is to find out the mastermind behind the Beibang brand through Liu Hangchen's huge network of relationships.
In this way, the kidnappers believed Du Yuesheng, and Du Yuesheng also spoke his word, when the kidnappers drove the car to Liu Mansion, he asked Liu Hangchen to hand over 900,000 to the kidnappers, and told them not to embarrass them, they also did things for others.
Only by letting them go can we find out who his captors really are.
In the end, the kidnappers took the money and left the Liu Mansion safely. After that, Liu Hangchen also quickly found out the details of the kidnappers, and it turned out that the mastermind behind them was Jin Jiulin.
Mention this person, Du Yuesheng knows, Jin Jiulin is timid and afraid of things, Mangfu one, if he is looking for someone to kidnap himself and ask for money, he does not have the guts. Therefore, Du Yuesheng came up with a bold idea,
He guessed that the person who kidnapped him was Jin Rong, his master.
Jin Rong, a person with a good face, is unwilling to bow his head, it is likely that he is now in trouble, and he cannot erase his face, so he has to make this decision. Thinking of this, Du Yuesheng's approach was shocking.
He immediately ordered the people to find Jin Rong and bring a letter,
The letter first inquired about The latest situation of Jin Rong, followed by concern and commitment, if there are any recent difficulties, you can always come to him and show your willingness to overcome the difficulties with him.
After reading the contents of the letter, Jin Rong's heart can be described as mixed feelings, first of all, he knows that his things have been exposed, and the second is guilt, he treats Du Yuesheng like this, and the other party is so concerned about himself.
After that, Jin Rong came to the door to apologize, saying that he was also forced to do so at that time, and when he survived this difficult time, he would definitely return the profits in the future.
So far
Du Yuesheng did not mention anything about money, and during the discussion, he only talked to Jin Jinrong about some trivial matters of life.
When he was leaving, he personally delivered Jin Rong to the door and watched him drive away.
After that, a brother by Du Yuesheng's side once asked him why no one in this world was happy now, why was he willing to give generously to a worthless old man at this critical moment.
In this regard, Du Yuesheng only smiled, in this life, what is the picture, ideals and ambitions must be there, but even if he had talent at the beginning, he would do things, but if he did not meet Jin Rong later, I am afraid that there would be no Du Yuesheng now.
Man must not forget his roots, whether right or wrong, morality must be spoken of.
It can also be seen from this that no matter what reasons were caused at that time, Du Yuesheng never forgot the grace of Jin Rong's original knowledge.
Whether it is right or wrong, whether it is winning or losing, morality is the line of defense in his heart that will never be broken.
This is also one of the main reasons why he can live in peace in the chaotic world.
