Some people say that Du Yuesheng, Huang Huangrong and Zhang Xiaolin were sworn brothers. That is absolutely impossible.
Huang Jinrong, the senior elder of the Qing Gang, Du Yuesheng, and Zhang Xiaolin used to be his subordinates. How embarrassing it would be for them to become sworn sworn sworn lords. Du Yuesheng and Zhang Xiaolin used to treat each other as brothers, but in recent years, various minor conflicts have become more and more serious.
many.
The three of them appeared to be harmonious on the surface, and even jointly founded the Sanxin Company to monopolize the opium business in Shanghai. But to put it bluntly, the Sanxin Company was actually equivalent to dividing the territory and handling gang interest disputes in a corporate manner.
There are no major conflicts, but small conflicts continue.
Especially in recent years, after Du Yuesheng climbed up to Chang Kaishen, his influence became more and more important, and he was recognized as the leader of the Shanghai Youth Gang.
Huang Huangrong is too old to fight for those false reputations, since he can earn money anyway. Zhang Xiaolin feels unhappy. He debuted earlier than Du Yuesheng and is senior to Du Yuesheng, but he has been suppressed by Du Yuesheng and cannot hold his head up.
Unable to do it again and again, Zhang Xiaolin could only take some verbal advantage, shouting "A Sheng, A Sheng", and always regarded himself as the elder brother.
Although Du Yuesheng didn't care much about this, he could not help but react with disapproval. By arranging the seats like this today, he was deliberately trying to beat Zhang Xiaolin. In a few years, Du Yuesheng's strength would become stronger and stronger, and Zhang Xiaolin would not even dare to make small moves until Japan
People occupied Shanghai, and he became a traitor before he dared to continue dancing.
Du Yuesheng asked about Zhou Hexuan's deeds yesterday. He boasted: "Master Rong, brother Xiao Lin, Mr. Zhou is not simple. He predicted the great stock market crash in the United States, and the Americans treat him as a god."
"What the hell," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "I'm not a god, it's just that the Yankees gave me a nickname, calling me some damn Far Eastern wizard."
Huang Jinrong said: "Haha, they are almost the same."
Zhang Xiaolin had also engaged in financial speculation. He couldn't help but ask: "Since you can predict the stock market crash, Brother Zhou has made a lot of dollars, right?"
Zhou Hexuan said ambiguously: "I made a little profit."
"No wonder Brother Zhou is so generous, donating more than 100,000 yuan a year to support overseas students. Huang admires him!" Huang Jinrong said in admiration.
Du Yuesheng raised his glass again: "Come and drink another toast to Brother Zhou's donation to help students."
Zhou Hexuan is not afraid of showing off his wealth in front of the three big bosses. They are local snakes with status and must abide by the rules. They will not attack celebrities like Zhou Hexuan. On the contrary, those desperadoes and petty thieves need to be careful. They will do anything for money.
Can do it.
Zhang Xiaolin was a little jealous and asked for advice: "Brother Zhou, you seem to be very good at financial investment. Are you interested in playing some games together?"
Zhou Hexuan waved his hand and said: "China's securities market is immature and is controlled by consortiums and politicians. I don't dare to play with them."
"Yes, yes, it's better to touch less of that thing." Du Yuesheng was deeply touched. His men speculated on all their bank deposits, and ended up losing more than 500,000 yuan in one fell swoop.
"Alas," Zhang Xiaolin said bitterly, "I thought the Central Army could win the war and collected a lot of military coupons. But now, those coupons have dropped by more than 40% in just two months."
Military bonds are bonds issued during wars. They are usually mortgaged with local tax revenue and forcibly distributed to ordinary people (especially businessmen). After obtaining military bonds, people usually sell them at low prices, while some speculators take the opportunity to buy and hoard them.
If the force that issues military bonds fails, the bonds will depreciate at best, or turn into a pile of waste paper at worst. But if the issuer wins, the bonds will appreciate, and the risks and profits will be huge.
For example, Zhou Hexuan's "Ta Kung Pao" was assigned promotion tickets by Yan Xishan. After a few months, these tickets would be used to wipe the buttocks.
Zhou Hexuan said with a smile: "Brother Xiao Lin, don't be impatient. Those central military coupons you collected will increase in value in a while."
"Really?" Zhang Xiaolin said happily.
Du Yuesheng also asked: "Brother Zhou, do you think the Central Army can win?"
Zhou Hexuan smiled and said: "The Central Army must win, otherwise when Commander-in-Chief Chiang goes out, all his generals will become new warlords. Just like when Yuan Shikai fell and the Beiyang ministries turned into Beiyang warlords, China was still not in chaos at that time
?”
"That's right." Huang Huangrong nodded.
Zhang Xiaolin clasped his fists and said: "By borrowing Brother Zhou's good words, I hope the Central Army can win, otherwise all the tickets in my hand will become useless paper."
Chang Kaishen is really having a hard time now. Even the big bosses of the Youth Gang in Shanghai think that the Central Military Army will fail. This shows that the society generally looks down upon him.
After everyone drank a few more drinks, Zhou Hexuan asked Wang Yaqiao casually: "I heard that the Ax Gang has been very active recently?"
"Don't mention it, they are just a bunch of lunatics." Zhang Xiaolin got a little drunk after drinking a few more drinks and became more talkative. "Our Qing Gang is just looking for money and will never kill unless it is absolutely necessary. Wang Yaqiao's Ax Gang is different.
They not only want money, but also their lives."
Thinking of Wang Yaqiao's methods, Huang Jinrong couldn't help but shudder. The Shanghai Security Commander must be awesome. He was slapped several times in public by Wang Yaqiao, and he didn't even dare to fart. Just last month, Shanghai Investment Promotion Director Zhao Tieqiao was sent by Wang Yaqiao
People used guns to beat it into a sieve.
Who is Zhao Tieqiao? He was an early member of the Tongmenghui and a revolutionary veteran. Now he is helping Chang Kaishen raise military supplies for the Central Plains War. Wang Tieqiao will kill him if he says so.
This is not the first high-ranking official assassinated by Wang Yaqiao. Two years ago, Zhang Qiubai, the director of the Anhui Construction Department, was assassinated by Wang Yaqiao. Chen Tiaoyuan, the chairman of Anhui Province, was so frightened that he resigned directly. He did not even dare to be the chairman of the province anymore because he and Wang Yaqiao
Have a grudge.
Wang Yaqiao used to follow the warlords, but now he has come to Shanghai to join a gang, and he has 100,000 ax gang members under his command. Du Yuesheng's scalp was numb when she met Wang Yaqiao, because the opponent would kill people at every turn, and he was simply a loser.
Wang Yaqiao once had several subordinates who wanted to be his masters, one of whom was named Dai Li and the other was named Hu Zongnan.
Du Yuesheng saw that Zhou Hexuan seemed to be interested in Wang Yaqiao, and he warned: "Brother Zhou, it is better to have less contact with Wang Yaqiao. He ignores the government, ignores the rules, and thinks about killing people all day long. Sooner or later, he will die on the streets."
"I just asked casually," Zhou Hexuan said with a smile, "I just came to Shanghai some time ago and heard the news that the Director of Investment Promotion was assassinated. Some newspapers said that Wang Yaqiao sent someone to do it, so I couldn't help but ask a few more questions.
sentence."
Huang Jinrong filled the glass: "Forget about Wang Yaqiao and the Ax Gang, I feel so panicked. Drink, drink!"
To be honest, Zhou Hexuan admired Wang Yaqiao very much. He was a staunch patriot. Unfortunately, he was short-sighted and could not see the situation clearly, and he also took the wrong path.
But no matter what, Wang Yaqiao made great contributions to the country. In the early stage, he assassinated high-ranking warlords, and in the later period, he assassinated traitors and Japanese invaders. Even Japanese Army General and Kwantung Army Commander Shirakawa Yoshinori died in Wang Yaqiao's assassination, which greatly boosted the anti-Japanese morale of the Chinese people.
.
Putting aside assassinations, Wang Yaqiao is still a social activist.
After winning the Central Plains War, Chang Kaishen, despite the government's financial collapse, wanted to send more "rice donations" to raise money and grain to deal with Li Zongren and Bai Chongxi, with the intention of completely pacifying the southwest. It was Wang Yaqiao who organized petitions among patriotic students and mobilized rice merchants
The strike caused food prices to rise, and Chang Kaishen was forced to cancel the rice donation, and a civil war was quelled invisibly.
It was precisely because of the destruction of the "Mi Zhao Donation" that Wang Yaqiao was included in Chang Kaishen's blacklist, and he was about to be killed.
Du Yuesheng and others were obviously frightened, and they did not want to mention Wang Yaqiao's name anymore, and they cheerfully turned the topic to the romance of Shanghai Shili Foreign Market.
After drinking and eating, Du Yuesheng invited Zhou Hexuan to watch the theater. Several people stumbled to the theater. Huang Jinrong fell asleep while watching, while Zhang Xiaolin was drunk and cheered loudly.
Zhou Hexuan took the opportunity to say to Du Yuesheng: "Boss Du, I have something to ask you for help."
"Brother Zhou, just ask if you have anything to say." Du Yuesheng said.
Zhou Hexuan gave an overview of Ruan Lingyu's situation and said with a smile: "Don't be cruel, just make a plan and put him in jail. Is 5,000 yuan enough?"
"5,000 yuan?" Du Yuesheng said happily, "You think too highly of that pretty boy. At most, it's 500 yuan. Don't worry, I'll take care of this little thing, and I'll make sure that pretty boy spends a few years in prison."
"Thank you then." Zhou Hexuan was still very satisfied and felt that Du Yuesheng was a very genuine person.
Under normal circumstances, Du Yuesheng should say that no money is needed, your business is my business. But in this case, it means that Zhou Hexuan owes a favor and must pay it back in the future.
Du Yuesheng did not embarrass Zhou Hexuan, but asked Zhou Hexuan to pay 500 yuan, so that neither party would have any burden, and friends could stay together for a long time.
Du Yuesheng's success is really not due to luck, things are done beautifully. 8)
