Chapter 11 Actively help people win people's hearts

Du Yuesheng understood a lot of truth while listening to the book.Among the many novel characters, he likes Song Jiang in "Water Margin" the most.Maybe he also has a bold and generous character, or maybe he also engages in some underworld activities outside the rule of law like Song Jiang in Liangshanpo!Du Yuesheng often takes Song Jiang as his idol and imitates his style of generous donation. Du Yuesheng deeply understands that everyone gathers for profit, so making friends, giving gifts and money can be said to be an investment. He often warns his subordinates: spending one penny to get the effect of spending ten pennies is spending money expert.

People at that time talked about Du Yuesheng, saying that he was ambitious, willing to spend money, rich in money, hot in means, able to win over others, use others, or this is called the Shanghai style. Let us see Du Yuesheng's way of doing things from some examples! Du Yuesheng has been rolling around for life since he was a child, and his friends have already become his rice team leader. When others were young, their parents took care of them, but Du Yuesheng, since his parents died at the age of five, he had to learn how to please others and beg for food.His philosophy of interpersonal relationship is learned from life.

Du Yuesheng understands that people always like to be flattered by others.When he wants to get acquainted with someone, he will set up a game: he will praise that person among his acquaintances, and then the friends will pass on how Du Yuesheng appreciates him, then this person will naturally I have a good impression of Du Yuesheng and hope to develop a relationship with him. When meeting people, Du Yuesheng is humble and polite, always showing an attitude of asking for advice.When asking for advice, Du Yuesheng took out a pen and paper, as if writing notes, to write down other people's opinions, and at the same time immediately ordered his subordinates to follow the instructions.It made the other party think that Du Yuesheng's child can be taught, so he poured his money to teach it.

Du Yuesheng understands that everyone likes to be valued.Du Yuesheng has the skill of listening to people's speech. Every time someone speaks two or three sentences, he will nod his head, and sometimes he will ask repeatedly to show that he is studying carefully and make the person talking to him feel that he is very valuable. For those who provide good opinions, Du Yuesheng always praises them in front of the relevant people, so as to pass the words to the ears of those people.Du Yuesheng was a big celebrity in Shanghai at that time, after he praised him, that person's status must have been raised a lot.Therefore, there are indeed many people waiting to know Du Yuesheng.

Du Yuesheng has a deep understanding of human nature.He believes that in communicating with people, in addition to giving spiritual satisfaction to the other party, if some material benefits can be added, the effect will be better.Du Yuesheng has a list of gifts in his hand, and when the three festivals (Dragon Boat Festival, Mid-Autumn Festival, and New Year) and other people's birthdays happen, he will send people to give big gifts.Giving gifts is the best way to please people.The hardest heart in the world is rarely harder than a gift of money.Guan Gong in the Three Kingdoms era was a very determined and tough guy. He had succumbed to Cao Cao's camp for five years, and he was in Cao Ying's camp.When he was working with Cao Cao, Cao Cao gave him a lot of gifts, and greeted him like a small banquet every three days and a big banquet every five days, which made Guan Gong, a tough guy, begin to soften his heart.

Later, Guan Gong found Liu Bei, left Cao Cao and returned to Liu Bei.Then there was another scene of the Battle of Chibi, where Cao Cao was defeated and fled. It happened that the person guarding Huarong Road was none other than Guan Gong. Guan Gong thought of Cao Cao's kindness in the past, so he had to default and let Cao Cao go.It can be seen from this that a gift is an extremely powerful weapon. Even Guan Gong, a person with high moral integrity, cannot stop it, let alone an ordinary person? Du Yuesheng's approach to life was greatly influenced by "Water Margin" and "Three Kingdoms".

When a friend has money problems, Du Yuesheng often doesn't think about it, sends money immediately, and tries his best to help.He also has some principles for giving money to others: First, the money sent out will not be returned. Second, when the money is lent, no third party is allowed to be present.Make sure that only God knows what you know and what I know. Third, he never mentioned to others who he had lent money to. For this reason, those who have received favors are especially grateful and admired.When Du Yuesheng asked them to do something for them, they were especially willing to work hard for Du Yuesheng.

Du Yuesheng likes to help the frustrated people, those frustrated political celebrities, defeated businessmen, disgruntled literati, and frustrated dandies, he greets them all generously and responds to every request.Why does Du Yuesheng like to greet frustrated people? Or is it related to his experience?Because he has been looked down upon since he was a child, no one takes him seriously, so he understands the feelings of frustrated people very well, and whenever he encounters frustrated people, he is always willing to help.Or it was influenced by the philosophy of the ancients.Once upon a time, there was an emperor who was very eager to get a thousand-mile horse, but no one offered it, so the wise man told him that it would be better to pay for the bones of a dead horse.Seeing that he was willing to pay for horse bones, others offered good horses one after another.

In 1931, when Li Jishen and Chen Mingshu passed through Shanghai, Du Yuesheng staged a show in the No. 181 Fuxi Road club, and welcomed them especially. Later, in Hong Kong during the Anti-Japanese War, Wu Peifu's secretary Yang Yunshi was ill, and Du Yuesheng sent money and precious medicinal materials.Mr. Yang died, and Du Yuesheng held a funeral for him. Once, Zhang Taiyan encountered a problem and went to Shanghai to ask Du Yuesheng for help. Du Yuesheng solved it immediately. After the matter was settled, he went to Suzhou to report to Zhang Taiyan in person. On the surface, Du Yuesheng did a lot of unrewarded things, but he had a purpose.Once, he said this to his personal doctor Pang Jingzhou: Of course I don’t have any demands on these frustrated old people, but what I will get in the future will definitely be more than what I gave today when it is convenient.It can be seen from this that Du Yuesheng is eager to establish a timely reputation, contributes money and efforts to help people, and aims to establish a good reputation.

Two things are worth quoting here: The first is how Du Yuesheng met Dai Li.Dai Li is a big celebrity around Chiang Kai-shek and has great influence.Dai Li back then was also a rascal.In 1923, he lived in the Shiliupu area of ​​Shanghai.Because of his proficiency in gambling, he gradually made a name for himself. At that time, Du Yuesheng had already switched to Huang Jinrong's family, but he often visited Shiliupu where he made a fortune.Soon, Du Yuesheng got to know Dai Li and found that he was a rare talent.Dai Li was not satisfied at the time, but what about Du Yuesheng?Already a small leader.Since the two share similar tastes, they not only become good friends, but also brothers.Du Yuesheng is eight years older than Dai Li.

At that time, Dai Li was desperate, and he didn't get along well in Shanghai.Du Yuesheng had no choice but to turn around and introduce him to Chiang Kai-shek Whampoa Military Academy in Guangzhou.Dai Li finally participated in the sixth cavalry department of the Whampoa Military Academy, and was later reused by Chiang Kai-shek.During the Northern Expedition, Chiang Kai-shek set up a five-member secret investigation team in the headquarters, and Dai Li was one of the members. Later, Chiang Kai-shek was forced to resign, the secret investigation team was disbanded, and the team leader disappeared with the money. Dai Li suddenly became a lonely ghost, and even his life had problems.Seeing this, Du Yuesheng assisted and enlightened him several times.When Chiang Kai-shek came to power again, Dai Li was reused and ordered to form a ten-member spy group. On April 1, 1932, Dai Li was ordered to expand the secret service group into a division, with himself as the director.Since then, Dai Li's status in the Kuomintang has gradually improved, and he has become a big celebrity around Chiang Kai-shek.Dai Li is a very nostalgic person. He often tells people around him that Du Yuesheng is an old-fashioned and warm-hearted person, and he is the only confidant in his life. Du Yuesheng's debt of favor to Dai Li will bring him so much reward in the future that even a computer cannot calculate it. The second is how Du Yuesheng met Liu Hangchen, a big chaebol in Sichuan. Liu Hangchen's ancestors started their business in medicinal materials.Liu Hangchen graduated from Peking University and once served as Feng Yuxiang's staff.Later, he returned to his hometown and became the financial director of Liu Xiang, the aftermath supervisor of Sichuan.Liu Hangchen took advantage of his power and family status to vigorously develop his business. In addition to opening a medicine store, he also ran a bank and a factory.After the Anti-Japanese War, Liu Hangchen was already the richest man in Sichuan Province. In 1938, Liu Xiangchen's backer Liu Xiang died of illness.Acting as the governor of Sichuan is Wang Yanxu, who has a grudge with Liu Hangchen.After Wang Yanxu took office, he immediately issued an order to arrest Liu Hangchen, and planned to execute Liu Hangchen on the spot, killing people with a sharp knife. Liu Hangchen had no choice but to abscond immediately and went to Nanyang to hide.Knowing this, Du Yuesheng immediately sent someone to visit, found Liu Hangchen in Hanoi, Vietnam, and sent him to live in the Du Mansion in Hong Kong.At the same time, he sent his big disciple Lu Jingsheng and others to take care of everything in Sichuan. The most rare thing is that he found Kong Xiangxi to speak on his behalf.Although Wang Yanxu had a deep hatred with Liu Hangchen, but because of Kong Xiangxi's face, he had no choice but to let it go, and Liu Hangchen was very grateful to Du Yuesheng. During the Anti-Japanese War, Du Yuesheng lived in Hong Kong.Later, Hong Kong fell, and Du Yuesheng had to avoid living in Chongqing.Although Du Yuesheng is a well-known tycoon in China, since he left Shanghai, he is like a fish jumping out of the water. Even though he is capable and respectable, he has no financial resources to develop his career, and he only bears the false name of a tycoon. In order to revive his prestige in Chongqing, he had to borrow money from Liu Hangchen.When Liu Hangchen saw Du Yuesheng, he immediately took out a check book and said: "Within 1.5 million yuan, you can pay at will."If it exceeds this number, as long as you take care of it in advance, it will be served the next day. With Liu Hangchen's guarantee, Du Yuesheng first borrowed 1.5 million yuan from the bank, and then settled in Chongqing.A more luxurious club than Shanghai was set up to welcome those rich men who had lost their souls and went to Chongqing from all directions to seek refuge. In addition to helping friends who are unhappy, Du Yuesheng is more interested in currying favor with dignitaries.He deeply understands that people who have more money tend to hate money more. The reason why these people have more money is that they are greedy for money.On weekdays, they deal well with these high-ranking officials, and once they are asked to contribute money and help, they will not refuse. Once, Du Yuesheng asked Minister of Finance Kong Xiangxi to issue a certificate to facilitate his smuggling.Du Yuesheng asked his friend Fan Shaozeng to come forward and say hello to Kong Xiangxi. When he was full of food and drunk, Fan Shaozeng appeared on behalf of Du Yuesheng and sent a huge check of 500 yuan (gold at the time was only a few hundred yuan per tael). Although Kong Xiangxi had seen big money, he was so happy to see this check. Unable to close his mouth, he said with a smile: Too many, too many and quickly stuffed the check into the concealed pocket. The next day, this extremely hard-to-get certificate from the Ministry of Finance was placed on Du Yuesheng's desk. Du Yuesheng treats money like dung, he is a person who responds to requests, and if he makes a move, it must be a huge amount.No matter what natural or man-made disasters, the one who donated the most must be Du Yuesheng.During the civil war between the Kuomintang and the Communist Party, Chiang Kai-shek asked Du Yuesheng to raise funds for the military. Within two or three years, Du Yuesheng raised more than 10 million yuan at least.Chiang Kai-shek once stepped down, and Du Yuesheng secretly donated a huge sum of money to make him come back. Once, the Kuomintang congratulated Chiang Kai-shek on his birthday, and Du Yuesheng also made a big deal. As soon as he made a move, he sent two planes, one named Yuewen to the flight agency, and the other named Yuehui to the Chinese Air Force.It was the first time in the whole country that one person sent two planes.The Kuomintang even used the power of newspaper propaganda to brag about Du Yuesheng, hoping to set a model for donations and cause other businesses to pay more. Du Yuesheng even helped the senior officials solve problems.In 1933, Song Ziwen went to the United States to discuss loan matters. He passed by the Shanghai Railway Station and was assassinated with a gun. Song Ziwen narrowly escaped death by hiding behind the platform.The Kuomintang police could not find out who the murderer was. Later, after Du Yuesheng came forward, it only took three or two days to bring the murderer to justice.Before Song Ziwen returned to China, he first greeted Du Yuesheng. Du Yuesheng not only greeted him at the airport, but also arranged for a band to greet him, so that Song Ziwen arrived safely in the country, which made Song Ziwen very happy. In 1934, Song Ziliang, Song Ziwen's younger brother, had sex with a dancer in the Vienna Ballroom in Shanghai, and his belly became big.The woman refused to give up and deliberately extorted 100,000 yuan. Song Ziliang, a playboy, only made troubles, and when he really wanted to solve the problem, he was helpless, so he had to ask Du Yuesheng to help. Du Yuesheng called the dancing girl to his office to negotiate.When the dancing girl Fang appeared, the four bodyguards tied her up, without further ado, then dropped her into the mouth of the Wusong River, sank to the bottom of the sea together with the fetus, and solved the scandal for Song Ziliang cleanly. This action is called planting lotus.During the year, Du Yuesheng also made several cases for his friends. No matter good or evil, black or white, Du Yuesheng has a solution.Among the dignitaries, Du Yuesheng is not only a well-known person in Shanghai, but also the underground emperor of Shanghai.
