The Republic of China period is a troubled time, troubled times produce heroes, naturally also out of dog bears, the most prosperous area during the Republic of China is Shanghai, which is also the most chaotic place in the whole of China, the French concession of the great powers, full of the smell of sin.
At that time, there were three giants in Shanghai, they were Zhang Xiaolin, who was good at fighting, Jin Rong, who was good at accumulating wealth, and Du Yuesheng, who was exquisite, left and right, and could be a person, and the three giants could be said to have grasped the economic lifeline of Shanghai.
And today we want to talk about the huge wealth of Shanghai Huang Jinrong, this person was born to love money, ill-gotten wealth or he did not refuse, because of his strong character formed a lot of enemies, once kidnappers kidnapped Jin Rong, extorted 50 gold bars from his daughter-in-law Li Zhiqing, and Li Zhiqing only gave 49 gold bars, and successfully found out the origin of the kidnappers.
A golden glory who loves money
He was born in Suzhou, Jiangsu Province in 1868, dropped out of school very early, and then worked as an apprentice in a painting shop, wanting to find a job to beg for food, but later he was gradually not satisfied with the status quo, began to mess with the punks in society, and also did a lot of bullying people.
It stands to reason that such a golden rong is like this for a lifetime, it is a Dou who cannot be supported, but God rewards food ah, in 1892, the patrol house in the French Concession of Shanghai recruited patrols, the recruitment standards were very strange, not recruiting decent gentlemen, but choosing to take in those city gangsters, explaining to the outside world that it was to recruit those talents who knew how to commit crimes.
As a gangster Jin Rong Ke came to the opportunity, he was active, determined, and was successfully accepted into the patrol room, and the right Jin Rong began to amass wealth wantonly, hiding from the above to search for the people's fat and people's ointment, in order to be firmly and permanently, he also began to establish and develop his own power, and gradually established a foothold in Shanghai and became a famous leader of the Qing Gang.
At the same time, Huang Jin Rong also opened his own business, in Shanghai Rong Kee Grand Stage, Golden Theater and other entertainment clubs, Shanghai Beach is a gold cave, rich people will do anything to enjoy, Huang Huang Rong's entertainment club is booming, his money has multiplied.
After mixing in the business field for a long time, Huang Jinrong also met many characters, Du Yuesheng, Zhang Xiaolin is among them, at the beginning Du Yuesheng was not famous, just working under Huang Jinrong, but this person is exquisite, left and right, good at interpersonal relations, and gradually made a reputation.
Later, Huang Jinrong decided to cooperate with Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin to open a Sanxin company on the opium trade, the opium industry is profiteering, relying on the company, the three achieved a win-win situation, and accumulated a lot of wealth in a short period of time, and later heard that the annual income of Sanxin Company was equivalent to twice that of the Beiyang government at that time, which was really amazing, and at this time, among the three tycoons in Shanghai, Huang Jinrong developed the most vigorously, the wealth was the strongest, and Huang Jinrong was also famous for loving money.
Kidnapping
The money-loving Jin Rong is not very good at being a person, he is not as smooth as Du Yuesheng, he is hot-tempered and strong, everything must follow himself, others make him unhappy, he is bound to find opportunities to trip others.
It is said that one day when Huang Jinrong was out of the house, he passed by Cao Xianming's mansion and found that his home decoration was more magnificent than his own, how could this work? In Shanghai, he would never allow anyone to outperform his pomp and circumstance, and when he returned home that day, he ordered his men to do tricks in Cao Xianming's business, and Cao Xianming lost a lot of money because of it.
After coming back to his senses, Cao Xianming found out clearly and realized that it was Huang Jinrong who did it, and he held a grudge and wanted to take revenge secretly. As soon as Jin Rong and Lu Liankui, Jin Rong's nemesis, he and Jin Rong's usual nemesis jointly kidnapped Jin Rong for money.
After the kidnapping was successful, Cao Xianming asked the kidnappers to find Huang Jinrong's daughter-in-law Li Zhiqing to ask for 50 gold bars to redeem Huang Jinrong, Li Zhiqing is also a ruthless character, ordinary people have long been six gods and masters when they encounter this kind of thing, although she is anxious to save Huang Jinrong, but she has not lost her wit, women and Taoists are not easy to handle, she went to find Huang Huangrong's right-hand man Du Yuesheng to discuss methods.
Du Yuesheng had an idea, he comforted Li Zhiqing, let her only bring 49 gold bars, and the rest was made up with jewelry, Li Zhiqing was smart and clever, and immediately understood Du Yuesheng's intentions, so he did what he said.
Cao Xianming and Lu Liankui did not directly come forward to accept the gold bars, but let the kidnappers accept the gold bars, and the kidnappers did not think much, seeing that the jewelry brought by Li Zhiqing could indeed be equivalent to a gold bar and accept it.
Follow the vine to find the mastermind behind the scenes
Huang Jin Rong was later successfully put back, and after learning of his daughter-in-law Li Zhiqing's approach, he quickly understood, and immediately sent someone to secretly search for the whereabouts of that batch of jewelry, which was pawned into a pawnshop for money, and Jin Rong Shun Vine finally found out who was behind the scenes, and sure enough, it was Cao Xianming, who he had retaliated against before, and his nemesis Lu Liankui.
Jin Rong sneered, no one in Shanghai can break ground on his head, he will definitely make them pay, next, Jin Rong thunderously ordered his subordinates to trip up his nemesis Lu Liankui, in a short period of time, Lu Liankui's business in Shanghai was frustrated one after another, and finally almost went bankrupt, under the media's chasing wind, I don't know who came out with the news that Lu Liankui had fallen ill and died.
The accomplice Cao Xianming has always been worried, he knows that this is Jin Rong's retaliation, he is afraid that he will implicate himself, during that period of time has been low-key, dare not make a mess, Jin Rong moved Lu Liankui, but did not move Cao Xianming, Lu Liankui's end can also be regarded as a warning to Cao Xianming, but later heard that Cao Xianming's business was not very good, and in the end it still did not end well.
Through this incident, it can indeed be seen that Jin Rong is worthy of being a big giant in Shanghai, acting decisively and ruthlessly, which can't help but be admired, this figure who has been fierce in Shanghai for most of his life is indeed not simple.
Brief summary:
In the chaotic times, although Huang Jinrong was born as a gangster, relying on his own power and force, he successfully ranked among the top of the beach, making people dare not despise it, just as the so-called strong dragon does not suppress the snake, the three giants of Shanghai Beach that year are indeed powerful, if the Beiyang government wants to move them, they have to weigh the consequences.
However, after the founding of New China, these land snakes were all hit, and only Jin Rong, the three giants of Shanghai that year, survived to the end, but he was transformed in his later years and became a sweeping master, which can be described as a bleak evening.
