Du Yuesheng of Zhonghui Building

Du Yuesheng is a famous figure in the modern history of China. He is el gaucho, Chuansha County. When he was young, his family was very poor. He became an apprentice in Shiliupu Fruit Shop, so he was nicknamed "Fruit Born in Month". He hung out among hooligans, joined green gang and became addicted to gambling. At the age of 3, he went to Zhengjiamuqiao in the French Concession (now Yan 'an East Road used to be Pidgin, and Zhengjiamuqiao is a bridge on the riverside, which is very famous for connecting the French Concession and the public concession) and worked as a thug in the casino. Being a sidekick for Huang Jinrong won the favor of Huang's wife, Sister A Gui, and gave advice to Huang for many times, and soon became a counselor and confidant favored by Huang. In order to stand on his own feet, he secretly prepared carefully and waited for the opportunity. Once, Huang Jinrong was imprisoned for being jealous with Lu Xiaojia and violating Lu's father, Jiangsu overseer Lu Yongxiang. This incident made Huang Jinrong completely discredited, but turned Du's identity into an equal sworn brother with Huang Ping, and laid the foundation for Du's coming from behind. Although Du Yuesheng is from the Yellow Gate, he is very different from Huang. He is good at reading people's minds and can treat people with different personalities in different ways. From government officials and celebrities to frustrated bureaucrats, politicians and literati, he is willing to make friends. Unlike Huang Jinrong, who is short-sighted and greedy, he is generous and does not spend money indiscriminately. He has a famous saying that "spending a penny can get the effect of ten pence, and it is an expert in spending money." He never shirks anyone he thinks will be needed in the future as long as he wants something from him. He is also keen on fundraising and acting as a "good man" in order to gain fame and fortune. When he became famous in society, he began to make friends with politicians and strive to enter the upper class. At the same time, he set out to run banks, factories and other enterprises, including Zhonghui, instead of being limited to a few theaters and playgrounds like Huang Jinrong. In order to get into the upper class, he has become gentle in his clothes and even in his every move, changing the rude image of a cigarette in his mouth, a crooked hat, leather shoes and a shirtless blouse. Even when receiving visitors at home on a hot day, they all wear long gowns and jackets. Not only did he do this himself, but he also asked his disciples to do it. He prefers to be called "sir" rather than "boss" like Huang Jinrong. His disciples and grandchildren number as many as 12. This is not to mention, and through its disciples, organizations such as "Heng Society" and "Yi Society" were established to control workers. He often intervened in the labor unrest in a duplicitous way, and was closely related to Dai Li, the spy chief, and used each other. In this way, in less than 1 years, he surpassed the veteran Huang Jinrong and became very popular. After the victory of the Anti-Japanese War, his hand has been extended to the banking and industrial circles. Not only did he run Zhonghui and Tongshang Bank, but he also tried his best to infiltrate the power in industrial and commercial enterprises. He became the chairman and director of more than 7 factories and businesses, and also hung more than 2 titles of "directors" and "directors". He bribed the bureaucratic military police and the French Concession authorities to make a fortune under the guise of "banning smoking and gambling", which was how Zhonghui was founded by searching for funds. He invested 1.56 million yuan to build Zhonghui Building between Henan South Road, Yan 'an East Road, Jinling East Road and Huangpu Public Security Bureau.
