Du Yuesheng was a ruthless person during the Republic of China, entrenched in Shanghai Beach for several years, eating black and white.
Whether it is for ordinary people or high-ranking officials and dignitaries, this name has a certain deterrent effect.
And such a "powerful" person was kidnapped in 1941, and the kidnapper opened his mouth with a ransom fee of 400,000 yuan, but after Du Yuesheng escaped, not only did he not retaliate against the kidnapper, but chased after him and continued to give money, who is this kidnapper?
As fierce as Du Yuesheng, what kind of medicine is being sold in his gourd.
First, the pattern and wisdom of the "villain"
Speaking of Du Yuesheng, most of the words "ruthless", "dark" and "underworld" in the public's impression are words, but even as a "villain" in the traditional sense, Du Yuesheng has his own integrity and bottom line.
After the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, many forces like Du Yuesheng did not want to lose their wealth and power, so they turned to the Japanese and became traitors, Du Yuesheng loved money and power, but he was not willing to follow the flow and become an eternal sinner, so he led his younger brothers to the south to escape the war.
Most of the gangsters in Shanghai attach importance to the word "righteousness", Du Yuesheng is no exception, not only taking care of his brothers when fleeing, the first thing after settling down is to find a way to withdraw money to pay his brothers, from this point alone, he is a big brother worth following.
On the same day, Du Yuesheng took a few bodyguards to the bank together, and when he withdrew the money but found that the bodyguards were gone, years of experience made him quickly realize that danger was coming, but the other party was obviously prepared, and before Du Yuesheng turned around, he was held to the head with a gun.
Du Yuesheng quickly calmed down, obeyed their meaning and got into the car, to the car Du Yuesheng found that his driver had long been held hostage by them, and couldn't help but let out a sneer in his heart, it seems that this is a premeditated kidnapping, such a tight seam, he is unable to escape if he is winged.
However, who went to great lengths to kidnap him, and what are his plans?
Du Yuesheng thought quickly in his mind, if he has the courage to kidnap himself, it is nothing more than two kinds of people, one is a vendetta, Du Yuesheng has been in the underworld for many years, and he has long known how many people he has formed a bond with, and he doesn't know how much blood is stained on his hands, and it is normal for someone to seek revenge.
The second is simpler, seeking wealth, even if Du Yuesheng has been exiled to the south because of the war, the property in his hands is also very solid, and kidnapping Du Yuesheng can use this to blackmail.
Without waiting for Du Yuesheng to ask, the kidnappers opened the door to the point, so that Du Yuesheng did not have to panic, he would not hurt him, but just wanted to "borrow" some money.
Hearing this, Du Yuesheng slightly hooked the corners of his mouth, since it was just for wealth, it was much easier to do, and then simply asked the kidnappers how much money they needed to put themselves back.
I saw the kidnapper slowly stretching out his four fingers, Du Yuesheng saw this, smiled even more, and directly boldly to: 400,000 is not enough, I will give you 900,000!
The kidnappers were immediately shocked in place, how could they have been kidnapped and take the initiative to raise the ransom for the kidnappers?
They silently thought in their hearts that either Du Yuesheng's brain was broken, or that he had too much money and had nowhere to spend.
Of course, Du Yuesheng's brain is not broken, and the reason why he would act against common sense is precisely because of his great wisdom.
The two kidnappers who kidnapped Du Yuesheng were actually no one else, but Du Yuesheng's eldest brother, the younger brother of Jin Rong's apprentice.
These two little minions definitely don't have the ability or courage to plan a kidnapping case for Du Yuesheng, then the real mastermind behind it is actually about to come out.
Second, the legend of the three tycoons of Shanghai
Huang Jinrong is the first of the three tycoons in Shanghai, and in his early years, he made a living as an apprentice in Shanghai because of his poor family, but he did not learn and had no skills, greedy for money and lust, and his small shop could not control him at all.
In 1900, the French Concession in Shanghai underwent a second expansion, and the increase in area meant that the management manpower needed to be strengthened, so he recruited patrols in Shanghai, and Huang Jinrong saw this announcement, and immediately his eyes lit up, when the patrol was no more beautiful than the apprentice, and the food and drink were spicy, and the future was immeasurable.
Without the slightest hesitation, Jin Rong walked into the door of the patrol house.
Because of his superior congenital physical conditions, Jin Rong was favored at a glance, and thus became a lackey of the French.
After becoming a patrolman, Jin Rong became uncharacteristically diligent and active, scrambling to do any task. And Huang Jin Rong is very good at flattery, and soon won the appreciation of the police chief and became the backbone of the patrol house.
In order to consolidate his position, Huang Jinrong continued to take on major cases, and even did not hesitate to direct and act or cover up some unjust, false and wrong cases, packaging himself as a "detective".
As Huang Jinrong's status became higher and higher, his true face began to be revealed, and he did everything evil in the concession with his identity as a detective, burning, killing and looting, becoming a nightmare for the people and a local overlord.
And Jin Rong's good apprentice and later good brother Du Yuesheng and his experience are almost the same, Du Yuesheng's parents died when he was young, and the family changes left him unsupervised and was sent by his uncle to a fruit shop as an apprentice.
Perhaps it is human nature that is inherently evil, Du Yuesheng is not interested in selling goods such as sales, but is happy to mingle with hooligans on the street every day, and in the process of interacting with them, Du Yuesheng got an opportunity to worship Chen Shichang of the Qing Gang as an old man, and since then began his underworld career.
Du Yuesheng is not only clever but also very aware of how to observe words, and is very favored and appreciated by Chen Shichang, and introduced Du Yuesheng to Jin Rong, and Du Jin and the two also met.
After entering the Huang Jin Rong Mansion, Du Yuesheng's legend officially began to be written, Jin Rong saw Du Yuesheng's potential, and handed over the largest casino under his hand to him to operate, Du Yuesheng also lived up to expectations, not only made the casino prosperous, but also colluded with warlords, made celebrities, and became the number one figure in the Qing Gang.
In Shanghai, there is such a description for the three tycoons - gold is greedy for money, Du Yuesheng can be a person, and Zhang Xiaolin is good at fighting. In the end, this good Zhang Xiaolin debuted a little earlier than Du Yuesheng, but although his limbs were developed, he was not as good as Du Yuesheng in his mind, and even later Du Yuesheng's status was to catch up with Jin Rong, and Zhang Xiaolin could only be furious behind his back.
The same are all ruffians, Zhang Xiaolin's vision and pattern can not be compared with the other two, after the outbreak of the Anti-Japanese War, Huang Jinrong and Du Yuesheng did not want to become the lackeys of the Japanese, and began to think of other ways to retreat, only Zhang Xiaolin is complacent, as long as the two of them leave, they can become the monopoly of Shanghai Beach.
Zhang Xiaolin betrayed the country for glory, everyone was blamed, and even ended miserably, and finally left a stench for 10,000 years.
Third, the friendship between King & Wood Mallesons
Huang Jinrong has the grace of knowing Du Yuesheng, and Du Yuesheng has been diligent and loyal for many years.
With the convenience of his identity, Huang Jinrong has a lot of gray area industries under his hands, and the casino that was given to Du Yuesheng is one of them, for this reason, Huang Jinrong is also very worried, after all, if his identity happens one day, it will inevitably end badly.
And Du Yuesheng was keenly aware of his eldest brother's troubles, and proposed to divide the casino into two games, day and night, the matinee sent his own people, even if he was caught Jin Rong was convenient for planning, and the night show is the real business, not only makes customers feel more exciting, but also not easy to be exposed, for Du Yuesheng's scheme, Jin Rong gave a critic - extremely smart.
After this incident, Huang Jinrong began to reuse Du Yuesheng, and Du Yuesheng also founded many companies by relying on his ability to be left and right, and met many executives and magnates in the political circles, gaining fame and fortune.
However, Rao is how Du Yuesheng knows how to behave in the world, in the face of some big scenes, he still needs the teaching of his eldest brother, Jin Rong debuted more than 20 years earlier than Du Yuesheng, and he did not eat dry food in the rivers and lakes.
Du Yuesheng was willing to humbly ask for advice, and Huang Jinrong was also a moral, willing to teach his own skills, and also took the initiative to introduce Du Yuesheng to the object, and recognized Du Yuesheng's eldest son as a godson, so that the second go, although Du Yuesheng and Huang Jinrong are masters and apprentices on the surface, they have long been coiled together inside.
It is already such a close relationship, and there is no conflict of interest, why did Huang Jinrong kidnap Du Yuesheng in exchange for money?
This has to mention the current environment, although the three of them in Shanghai took advantage of the turbulent situation of the times, but the success is also chaotic, defeat is also chaotic, gold rong refuses to return to the Japanese, like an empty shell, struggling.
As the eldest brother, or Du Yuesheng's former master, he couldn't pull down his face to borrow money directly, so he made such a move, anyway, Du Yuesheng's enemies are not few, and they can fish in troubled waters without losing their dignity, why not?
However, Jin Rong underestimated Du Yuesheng's care and scheming, he had already keenly perceived the strangeness of this kidnapping, and the moment he knew the identity of the kidnapper, everything was clear.
As smart as him, he directly realized his eldest brother's current predicament, so he placed an invitation the next day, hoping to get together with Jin Rong as his younger brother.
The moment Jin Rong saw the invitation, he subconsciously thought that this was a Hongmen banquet, but when he forced his head and passed, he found that Du Yuesheng not only did not mention this matter, but also praised Jin Rong for not returning to the Japanese, being a righteous man, and he was willing to follow in the footsteps of his eldest brother.
Subsequently, Du Yuesheng also asked his subordinates to take out a check of 900,000 and hand it to Huang Jinrong, hoping that his eldest brother could take care of his health.
Huang Jinrong was deeply touched by this, the so-called icing on the cake is not as good as giving charcoal in the snow, Du Yuesheng's position in Jin Rong's heart can no one replace it from then on.
Even if the two were displaced later due to the change of situation, they never forgot this period of glory, and they did all the bad things, but they were worthy of each other.
