In Shanghai during the Republic of China period, the shanghai people at that time who mentioned the names of three people were simply discolored, they were the famous three tycoons of Shanghai, Jin Jinrong, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin.
In some film and television themes, the three tycoons can be said to be the existence of the wind and rain, Shanghai at that time was simply a hand to cover the sky, when Zhang Xueliang was threatened by Wang Yaqiao, the key time had to rely on Du Yuesheng to come forward to solve the problem.
Among the three, he became famous with Jin Rong as the earliest, Du Yuesheng was the most famous, and Zhang Xiaolin was the most evil.
Today, the three tycoons have withdrawn from the stage of history.
However, it was such a powerful three tycoons, one of them was extinct, one descendant was willing to degenerate, and only Du Yuesheng's descendants had made great achievements, which really responded to the sentence that good and evil would eventually be rewarded.
In fact, the three tycoons themselves were all very low in status, Jin Jinrong was a patrol in the French Concession at the beginning, Du Yuesheng was a fruit-cutting worker at the beginning, and Zhang Xiaolin was a thug at the beginning.
By chance, the three of them mixed together and relied on each other to dominate the whole of Shanghai after this.
At the same time, they were good at making friends with all kinds of people, and almost all the three tycoons in the three circles of politics, military and business at that time were present, and it was precisely this that allowed them to cover the sky with their hands in Shanghai.
However, with the liberation of Shanghai, the three tycoons will eventually be eliminated by history, and they and their descendants have also ushered in different fates.
Among the three, the first to leave the stage of history was Zhang Xiaolin, and among the three, he was the most evil.
When the Japanese attacked Shanghai, after occupying Shanghai, in order to stabilize the situation in Shanghai, a person with considerable influence in Shanghai was needed.
At that time, Du Yuesheng left Hong Kong, and Jin Rong stayed in Shanghai, but he was also afraid of carrying the insult of a traitor and closed the door, only Zhang Xiaolin decided to go all the way to the black, after which he accepted the invitation of the Wang puppet government to become the mayor of Shanghai.
Zhang Xiaolin's actions also aroused the indignation of the patriots, and finally under du Yuesheng's plot, lin Huaibu, a disciple of the Qing Gang, finally killed Zhang Xiaolin.
After Zhang Xiaolin's death, only the eldest son, Zhang Fayao, was his own child, and his adopted sons were Zhang Xiangui and Zhang Zhongyao.
After Zhang Xiaolin's death, the remaining two adopted sons were missing, and only the eldest son, Zhang Fayao, had a little news.
Zhang Fayao studied in France in his early years, but because Zhang Xiaolin did not care about this eldest son at all, the relationship between father and son was not good, and he was also a living second ancestor.
After that, he was full of flowers and weeds, and he himself became addicted to opium, a habit that severely damaged his body, because opium made his body more and more exhausted, and finally died in a lane that no one noticed.
Although Du Yuesheng retired to Hong Kong during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, he has always paid attention to the anti-Japanese cause of the whole country, secretly funding many assassination groups to assassinate traitors and Japanese Kou, which also led to Jin Rong being surpassed by Du Yuesheng after the victory of the War of Resistance.
After the victory of the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression, the former three tycoons of Shanghai have gradually become Du Yuesheng's monopoly on Shanghai, and Jin Jinrong has retreated behind the scenes.
After the liberation of the whole country, Jin Jinrong did not choose to choose other countries, he was already old, so he had the idea of returning to the roots of the fallen leaves.
At that time, the Shanghai Municipal Government considered that Jin Jinrong was more than 80 years old and could at least abide by his heart during the War of Resistance, so after this, it did not embarrass him too much, but only transformed him, and Jin Jinrong often appeared in the streets of Shanghai to sweep the floor after that.
Jin Rong and his wife Lin Guisheng and later his concubine Lu Lanchun did not have sons, but he had many adopted sons.
However, with the loss of power of Jin Rong, those adopted sons immediately broke off their relationship with Jin Rong, and it can be said that Jin Rong's old age was not desolate.
The last one is Du Yuesheng, who traveled to Hong Kong during the War of Resistance Against Japanese Aggression and accumulated a lot of contacts in Hong Kong, and at the same time he was affectionate in his life, so his heirs were also the most, and he had eight sons and three daughters in his life.
But compared with the previous two, Du Yuesheng is obviously more intelligent, and he has also found a good way for his children and grandchildren.
After the liberation of the whole country, Du Yuesheng went to Hong Kong.
He knew clearly that he was no longer the big man of the Green Gang who called the wind and rain at this time, so before he died, he burned those foreign debts to the fire and warned outsiders that their previous grievances were written off.
As for the future path of his children and grandchildren, he warned them not to follow his old path, but to follow the right path in the future.
It was also under Du Yuesheng's earnest admonition that his descendants lived a relatively dashing life: the eldest son, Du Weifan, worked in a bank, and the second son, Du Weihuan, chose to enter politics and later served in the United Nations. The third son, the fourth son, and the seventh son successively entered the business world, while the fifth son, Du Weihan, and the sixth son, Du Weining, stayed in Shanghai to work.
And the three daughters finally found their own home.
Compared with the previous two, it is obvious that Du Yuesheng's mind is also higher, and it can be said that Du Yuesheng surpassed Jin Jinrong that year.
