Chapter 9 Clever tricks to solve problems

Since Huang Jinrong and his wife reused Du Yuesheng, Du Yuesheng lived up to his trust. He seized the opportunity and did a few important things decently. The first thing is to resolve the dispute between the two gangs.In order to train helpers, Du Yuesheng hired a man named Jiang Zhaoming from the rogue in Shiliupu.Not long after Jiang Zhaoming got started, he got into trouble in Yan Jiuling, a gangster tycoon in the British Concession, forcing Yan Jiuling to challenge Du Yuesheng's big backer, Huang Jinrong.At that time, Huang Jinrong and Yan Jiuling were gambling tycoons in the two concessions of Britain and France. Everyone saw that the two sides were about to fight, and they didn't know what to do.

Du Yuesheng thought about it all night, and the next day he took Jiang Zhaoming to the meeting alone, and went to Yan Jiuling's door to plead guilty.He praised Yan Jiuling in a neither humble nor overbearing manner, begging him to forgive Jiang Zhaoming, and praised Yan Jiuling very happily with his words.Yan Jiuling thought that Du Yuesheng was very handsome, so he became friends with Du Yuesheng. Du Yuesheng made such an understatement to make a big move, and turned a big war that was about to break out into nothing, and immediately won a high reputation on the beach in Shanghai.The subordinates, seeing how wise the older brother was, rushed to join him, while the bosses, Huang Jinrong and his wife, saw that Du Yuesheng had persuaded Yan Jiuling to come over with just a word of mouth, turning from an enemy into a friend, and felt a little bit of face.So everyone from top to bottom believed that cooperating with Du Yuesheng would be of great help to their career and future, so more and more people were vying to make friends with Du Yuesheng.

The second thing is to solve the headache of casino law and order.Gamblers like to come to gamble for money, but after gambling, they often run into hooligans, who use the hard-earned money to honor the thieves.As a result, gamblers are increasingly shy away from going to gambling halls. Since Du Yuesheng became the leader of Huang Jinrong's Gongxingji Casino, he first cooperated with the gangsters and promised to ask them to be responsible for the safety of the gamblers on the condition that the casino would give a tenth of the bonus.The hooligans on and off the beach immediately changed from robbers to policemen, scrambling to protect the guests of Gongxingji. Du Yuesheng was also good at publicity, promising any guest who stepped out of Gongxingji that if he encountered a robbery, he would use a Pay ten, that is, lose ten yuan and pay one hundred yuan.After such a rumor, the whole of Shanghai became agitated, and gamblers from Britain, France, and China all walked into his door.

The third thing is to cooperate with the patrol house in the French Concession to avoid fines for gamblers.The government of the French Concession allowed gambling, but public opinion often called for a ban on gambling in the newspapers.The patrol room in the French Concession was originally open-eyed and closed-eyed. As long as the gambling house sent money as scheduled, they were allowed to gamble.But the pressure of public opinion is too great, and the government has to do a lot of superficial work, so it often dispatches patrol houses to pull people to seal shops and send gamblers to the government.In addition to fines, the gamblers were tied up and paraded through the streets.A decent person would not lose face for gambling.

Du Yuesheng understood that the purpose of the French coming thousands of miles to the French Concession in Shanghai was also for money.So he persuaded Huang Jinrong to come forward and negotiate terms with the French police.Du Yuesheng recruited a group of hooligans to act as gamblers, and let the patrol room pull them on business.Gamblers also feel safe with this arrangement in place.The gambling house run by Du Yuesheng is naturally booming. Du Yuesheng's success may seem mediocre today, but Du Yuesheng is willing to actively do it, what about the others?It's just fantasies and hopes. When people take actions and make achievements, they will regret it.The success or failure of things often depends only on whether the parties involved take active actions.

Although Du Yuesheng did not have the capital to start a business, his fighting spirit at work has already established him a reputation. Reputation is your greatest venture capital.Many smart people think that they are lazy in part-time work, wasting the boss's resources and time, but actually destroying their own credibility. The big bosses who wanted to cooperate with them also gave up because they saw that they did not work hard.Even if they meet noble people, they will not get help from noble people because they do not have professional reputation. Since Du Yuesheng has the ability, of course there are many people who want to cooperate with him.The establishment of a business requires many conditions, such as capital, timing and talents.Funding and timing are very secondary conditions, and talents are the most precious thing.With talents, other conditions are easy to form.

With the sponsorship of the big boss, Du Yuesheng opened one of the most luxurious casinos in Shanghai at No. 181 Fuxi Road (today's Yan'an Middle Road). Everything is ready, as long as the customer reaches out, the casino staff will deliver Chinese and Western food, all free of charge. In terms of security, of course there are bodyguards guarding the gate, and gamblers with less than 1,000 yuan will not be entertained.In order to attract customers, every gambler brought by a car will receive a five-dollar lai see and five gallons of free gas.Suddenly, Du Yuesheng trained a large group of salesmen who solicit customers.

As for the guests who lost the bet?The club has another arrangement. At the very least, there is also a special car to take the gamblers home. Du Yuesheng's business is very successful.However, he spends money like water.Although the income was large, he was in debt from time to time. It was not until he took part in the work of transporting opium that the economic situation improved. Du Yuesheng's influence gradually surpassed that of his master Huang Jinrong. Huang Jinrong's problem is that money is his life, but what about Du Yuesheng?Know how to behave, make money, and spend money.For this reason, Huang Jinrong's sphere of influence was limited to the French Concession, and he could not go out of this sphere throughout his life.And what about Du Yuesheng?Because of his willingness to communicate, he soon broke into the British Concession and even the whole of Shanghai.

On the other hand, Huang Jinrong got into trouble several times for women. One day, Huang Jinrong and Wei Rongting, a wealthy businessman, clashed over the beauty Lu Meiyu who shared the stage.Wei Rongting not only snatched Lu Meiyu over, but also hit Huang Jinrong. Wei Rongting was a well-known businessman in the French Concession. His maternal father, Zhu Baosan, was the head of the comprador and the chairman of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, and had a good relationship with the French government.Of course, the Wei family looked down upon this rotten boy, Huang Jinrong.In order to show his power, Wei Rongting got involved with the French newspaper media and wrote a lot of articles describing how Huang Jinrong gathered hooligans in the French Concession, specifically engaged in activities such as packing cigarettes, sheltering gambling, intimidating and extorting, and these activities were tacitly approved by the police in the French Concession .After the French newspapers exposed these things, the Ministry of Foreign Affairs could not ignore them and had no choice but to exert pressure to express public indignation.

The Ministry of Foreign Affairs had no choice but to recall Koeclin, the French Consul General in Shanghai, to investigate the rumors in the newspapers.After it was confirmed, the French government also understood that this was a corruption issue, so it had to dismiss Captain Favoli, the director of the police station in the French Concession in Shanghai, and reassigned another one to take up the job of strictly prohibiting smoking and gambling, suppressing the arrogance of hooligans, and reporting to the people in the newspaper industry. explain. In this case, Huang Jinrong was forced to resign from the position of chief inspector of the police station in the French Concession.The French corruption organization was suddenly disintegrated. Although there were many reasons, the fuse was Huang Jinrong.Sometimes, the harm caused by improper employment is very serious. Choosing a good partner is extremely important in the development of one's own career.

Huang Jinrong is indeed a cutscene character of a second-rate role, and he will not correct himself if he makes a mistake.Not long after, he got into a catastrophe in order to fight for a woman. Huang Jinrong fell in love with Kunling Lu Lanchun who shared the stage again.Once, a playboy named Lu Xiaojia made a special trip to support Lu Lanchun.But there should be something wrong, Lu Lanchun lost her voice when she sang, Lu Xiaojia immediately booed.Huang Jinrong saw that someone acted wildly, so he stepped forward without saying a word, and slapped him twice. Huang Jinrong caused great disaster because of these two palms. The father of this Mr. Lu is Lu Yongxiang, the governor of Zhejiang Province, and he is extremely powerful.Three days later, Mr. Lu brought a truckload of people, rushed straight to the public stage, kidnapped Huang Jinrong and Wuhuada, and locked him up for seven days.Huang Jinrong's wife Lin Guisheng ran around to rescue him, but there was nothing he could do. Later, Du Yuesheng entrusted powerful people to come forward and finally rescued Huang Jinrong. When a person's power declines, he should restrain himself. Huang Jinrong knows that there are talented people coming out from generation to generation, but he insists on staying on the stage of the times and refuses to leave. He only reluctantly steps down after being humiliated.The honor and disgrace of the world is often decided between having a toast or a fine wine. People who don't know how to choose can only blame themselves, not others. After this battle, Huang Jinrong's power in the French Concession in Shanghai has reached the point where it has been crushed.He had no choice but to learn from the fun and quit the arena. Du Yuesheng learned a lot of valuable lessons from Huang Jinrong's lesson, but he still couldn't help bragging about these three aspects of whoring and gambling.Of course, Du Yuesheng is not as good as Huang Jinrong. Although Du Yuesheng is thin and weak, he is lustful.At the age of thirty-one, he got two concubines from a brothel, but even so, he still lingered around to play around.Later, he got severe asthma and found it difficult even to go up the stairs, but he still wanted to mess around and couldn't go up the stairs, so he asked someone to lift him up with a wicker chair.
