Huang Jinrong, born in 1868 in an ordinary peasant family in Jiangsu, grew up in a poor family, his parents died early, and was adopted by an uncle who worked iron, but his uncle did not like his nephew and often beat and scolded him. Jin Rong did not like his studies since he was a child, and his uncle did not bother to teach him to read and read. He often ran away from home, mingled with some ruffians, and when he was not disciplined, he also developed the vice of a bad boy.
At the age of 15, Huang Jinrong ran away from home again and came to Shanghai, a metropolis that was still part of the concession at that time. Here, he was further infected with gambling, prostitution and other bad habits. Due to the pressure of life, Jin Rong began to help people run errands and do some labor work. He had a quick-witted personality and a good manner, and soon made some quack friends. At first, it was just helping people do things, delivering letters and so on, and then gradually participated in some illegal activities, such as smuggling opium.
By 1892, Huang Jinrong had established his contacts and influence in Shanghai. This year, through the introduction of a wealthy businessman, he was given a small position in the patrol house of the French Concession. Huang Jinrong knows very well that if he wants to gain a foothold in Shanghai, he must gain the trust of foreigners. Therefore, he looks obedient and honest to the outside and is very effective in doing things. Not long after, he was promoted by the Police Force and became the chief inspector, becoming the only Chinese inspector general in the police system.
At the same time, Huang Jinrong's momentum in the underground world is also growing. He accumulated a lot of money, collected many younger brothers, and gradually became the boss of a huge underground gang in Shanghai. On the surface, he maintained the decent job of inspector general, but in reality he was entangled with various figures, including warlords, businessmen, and some foreigners.
In the 20s of the 20th century, with the end of the Northern Expedition, the Nanjing National Government was established in Shanghai. Huang Jin Rong was promoted again and became a major general and a senator of the Executive Yuan of the National Government. However, he did not support the Three People's Principles in his heart, nor did he care about national affairs, but only used the power in his hands to seek more interests. In Shanghai, Huang Jinrong colluded with the bosses of the other two major gangs, Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin, and became rampant for a while, known as the "Three Tycoons of Shanghai".
In 1918, a young man named Du Yuesheng entered the Jin Rong family and did some chores. This young man in his early 20s was born smart and clever, and soon won the favor of Lin Guisheng, the wife of Huang Jinrong. Lin Guisheng is the second wife of Huang Jinrong, nearly 20 years younger than Huang Jinrong, and is a woman who loves beauty and likes to spend time and wine.
Once, Du Yuesheng recommended a lucrative investment opportunity to Lin Guisheng. Lin Guisheng trusted Du Yuesheng and told Huang Jinrong about this. Huang Jinrong saw that this investment was indeed reliable and agreed. Sure enough, he quickly made a lot of money. Only then did Huang Jin Rong discover that this young man was really talented, so he accepted him as his adopted son, and the two became closer and closer.
In the winter of 1921, Jin Rong listened to a play on the stage and saw a Peking Opera actor named Lu Lanchun. On this day, Lu Lanchun sang badly and was scolded by an audience member and asked her to get off the stage. Huang Jinrong immediately sent someone to beat up the audience, and scolded again: "Watch my play, dare to talk indiscriminately, don't teach you a demon woman!" The audience was beaten with a blue nose and a swollen face, but they did not dare to squeak.
The audience's name is Lu Xiaojia, one of the four princes of the Republic of China, and his father is the Jiangsu warlord Lu Yongxiang. On weekdays, Lu Xiaojia often takes advantage of his family's situation to overwhelm people. This time, he did not bring his entourage, and was severely beaten by Jin Rong's people, and he was annoyed in his heart. The next day, he led someone to tie Huang Jinrong to his own territory and locked him up, demanding that the other party ransom 3 million yuan.
Knowing this, Huang Jinrong's wife Lin Guisheng urgently asked Du Yuesheng to discuss. Although Lin Guisheng has his own savings, it is still a little difficult to take out 3 million yuan at a time. Du Yuesheng comforted Lin Guisheng and said that he would try his best to solve it. He raised some money everywhere, negotiated with someone, and finally persuaded Lu Xiaojia to release him for 2 million yuan. After returning Jin Rong, he praised Du Yuesheng's ability. Since then, Du Yuesheng's status in the heart of Jin Rong has been higher, and the two have officially become brothers.
In 1923, Jin Rong took a fancy to the drama Lu Lanchun and planned to take Lin Guisheng off and marry Lu Lanchun. Lin Guisheng was furious, and the two quarreled. But Huang Jinrong was resolute, and Lin Guisheng finally reluctantly agreed to the leave. Jin Rong happily continued Lu Lanchun. After marriage, he doted on Lu Lanchun, bought a mansion for her, and bought expensive clothes. And Du Yuesheng has always respected Lin Guisheng, and Lin Guisheng gradually handed over the affairs of Jin Rong to Du Yuesheng.
In 1927, Du Yuesheng won a complete victory in the fight with another gang, officially replacing Huang Jin Rong as the largest gang boss in Shanghai. And because Jin Rong loved Lu Lanchun too much, he gave her a lot of property, causing him to become poorer and poorer. In 1930, Lu Lanchun finally couldn't bear it anymore and packed up and fled while Jin Rong went out. Jin Rong had nothing left and had to rely on Du Yuesheng to get by. In 1932, he contracted pneumonia and died alone one winter morning.
