Du Yuesheng was born in Chuansha, Jiangsu (now Pudong New Area, Shanghai) in 1888 and died in 1951. He came to Shanghai Shiliupu as an apprentice in the fruit shop at the beginning of 14. Later, he entered the Jinrong Mansion, which was the leader of the Qinggang in Shanghai. In 1925, Du Yuesheng established the "Sanxin Company" to monopolize the transportation of opium in the French Concession. In 1927, Du Yuesheng, Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin organized the China Co-Progress Association. In 1929, Du Yuesheng served as the Hua Dong of the Public Board of Directors, which was the highest position of the Chinese in the French Concession. In 1929, Du Yuesheng founded Zhonghui Bank and set foot in Shanghai's financial industry.
There are rumors that "Golden is greedy for money, Zhang Xiaolin is good at hitting, and Du Yuesheng will be a man." After reading this book, I am deeply convinced that this statement is true. Regardless of the position of the author of this book, Du Yuesheng's behavior in the world can serve as a model for most people.
"Dissipate wealth and make friends with all five capital heroes" can be regarded as a portrayal of Du Yuesheng, not to mention that he is willing to be kind after his fortune, and is responsive to any request; even before he has the Wanguan family property, he despises things of yellow and white and is loyal to friends It can be seen that it is important.
The examples in this book are all but one small example. Huang Jinrong’s wife, Gui Sheng, who admired Du Yuesheng, deliberately promoted him and gave him three or four hundred principals to gamble on money. Du Yuesheng won about two thousand yuan, and Gui Sheng asked him to handle the huge sum of money by himself. Du Yuesheng immediately returned to the Shiliu shop where he had worked in the fruit shop, and even profitably returned the people who had lost money in the past, and spent nearly 1,000 yuan in just one day.
Sister Guisheng later analyzed the matter with Huang Jinrong and commented: "If he spends the two thousand dollars on gambling, even if he spends it; then, even if he has the courage, has shoulder blades, and has a broad hand, he can't do enough at best. It’s the material of a Xiaobaixiangren (a Wu dialect, a person who doesn’t do business and wanders for a living). If he uses that money to deposit in a bank, buy a house, open a pán (quantifier, a shop, a piece of land, etc.) storefront, so he It’s just an ordinary character that doesn’t fit our business. In fact, he spends a lot of money to clean up old debts and make friends. Du Yuesheng’s approach is to say that he is not only to be a human, but also to be a personal person. At this point, I conclude that he is the most effective helper we need, and we must train and support him well."
Although "The Analects of Confucius" says "to live in groups all day long, it is unreasonable, it is easy to do small favors, it is difficult.", but at the same time it also mentions that "respect is not insulting, wide is to win the crowd, faith is for the people, and agile is meritorious. It is enough to make people."
Egoism is almost everyone's nature, so when a person can be altruistic, everyone is willing to make friends with him and be willing to help him. Sometimes if one of the ten people you helped give you back, it is likely that this time the reward will be more valuable to you than ten times. In terms of investment and return, this behavior is very similar to venture capital.
For Du Yuesheng’s kindness and charity, Jianghu Yiqi recruited a group of talented "wu role" for him; and although he was out of school at a young age and had a low level of education, he maintained a high degree of courtesy to intellectuals throughout his life and was able to be a courteous corporal. Zhanjie intersect, and he insists on asking people to tell him every day, and he keeps going all year round. Intellectuals are mostly soft but not hard. Du Yuesheng's humility has allowed him to get the support of many "literary characters", and even people like Zhang Taiyan have close friends with him.
"Tao De Jing" says that "goodness is like water, and water is good for all things without contention. This is the virtue of humility; therefore Jianghai can be the king of all kinds of valleys, and if he is good, he can be the king of all kinds of valleys." In fact, in real life The same is true. When a person's structure and vision are getting higher and higher, he will usually take the initiative to converge his edge, from the early years of being arrogant and arrogant, to being courteous and brilliance.
"The stepmother mysteriously disappeared. Not only did Du Yuesheng lack care, but he didn't even have to eat. The cousin Du Jinlong, who lives opposite, was an apprentice. He was doing business in a cigarette paper shop in Shanghai. It is rare to go home for a few days all year round. The so-called cigarette paper shop , Is a kind of money exchange booth placed beside the road, because the five different places in Shanghai, the currency value is complicated, how much is one or two silver to make? How many coins should be converted into Yingyang ? , Has become a daily need of people, so this kind of small exchange shops came into being. There are many places in the streets and alleys. The industry keeps the stalls all day, in exchange for small profits, and it is very difficult to feed their families.
My cousin is not at home all year round, and my cousin is often short of rice and oil. Du Yuesheng is inconvenient to eat at their home. The eight-year-old child had no ability to live, and was hungry for a while; he had to cry and went to his grandmother's house, who was the mother of his biological mother, Mrs. Zhu, who loved this lonely, hungry and cold grandson. But the situation of the foreign family is the same, the family is big and small; they all rely on Du Yuesheng's old mother Zhu Yangsheng to be a plasterer for the day. One more person to eat, even if it is a child, also creates a heavy burden for them.
There is a saying in the south of the Yangtze River: "Cold porridge and rice are delicious, cold words are uncomfortable!" Du Yuesheng, who stands up only at the height of the dining table, already knows how to look at his words and colors, and he knows what is interesting. Except for the old grandma, few people in the uncle's family gave him a good face. In order to win the favor of the old mother and aunt, Du Yuesheng was taciturn and devoted himself to work. When he saw something at home, he would automatically take away his sleeves and do it. He went to collect grass, collect firewood, and carry his half-height baskets and firewood clips; he poured manure in the backyard, planted vegetables, helped grandma and aunt cook rice, led children, and ran the streets for the old mother and bought them. "
Among the three great heroes in Shanghai , people say that Du Yuesheng is the best. Compared Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin, he gets praise the most. May be related to his own youth became an orphan , suffered terribly , suffered human well-being related . He is not loved by his parents like Huang Jinrong , nor does he want to be taken care of by his father and brother as a young son like Zhang Xiaolin .
Du Yuesheng like this, in harsh living environment in a child growing up , adulthood often go in two different directions. Some people because they endured pain , become callous , and then got the upper hand , doubling retaliation to others . While others become more small Italian round , after a meteoric rise , more considerate to help those who suffer it.
" On June 10th, 20th year of the Republic of China, the "Du Family Shrine", which was planned for the years, was completed; Mr. Du Yueshengsheng was forty-four years old. His career was extremely brilliant and his reputation was in full swing. In his personal mood, "Yi "Jin Rong return, full of ambition." Because he came from a family of small businessmen, he was lost at the age of three, lost at the age of five, and at the age of eight, he loved him like his stepmother, forced by life to escape from the Du family. Du Yuesheng stayed at his grandmother's home, did not eat three meals, clothes and clothes were difficult, and he experienced the warmth of humanity and the scorching state of the world. The so-called "drinking ice on cold days; dripping heart."
When he was fifteen years old, he wanted to go out to make a living. He had no resources to make a living. He was brainstorming on a half-built house that was passed down from his ancestors. He was beaten up by his uncle, and was severely rebuked by his uncle. He was angry and left his hometown with bare hands. Jiang went to Shanghai to survive and fight the world. Grandmother sent him to the character of the bridge halfway into the relative Do not weep, tears in their eyes when he looked at the tall bridge, Li had a vow: "If I can not Rongzong Yao ancestors to Japan, vow word go." "
When I was a teenager , there were probably quite a few people who first entered society and set up such bold adverbs . But how many people will actually fulfill their promises in the future ? Some people voluntarily give up when they encounter difficulties, and some people have bad luck and fate . There are very few people who can realize their ambitions in their youth.
" Shanghai, as far away as the Warring States Period, was once the fief of Chunshen Jun of Chu State. Chunshen Jun was named Huang Xie. He was the prime minister of Chu State for more than 20 years. He was a generous lover, respected the virtuous and honorable, and served three thousand guests Yu Zhong. His guests wear bead shoes, along with Qi Zhi Mengchang, Zhao Zhiyuan, and Wei Zhixin Mausoleum. They are historians and are called the Four Kings of the Warring States Period. Huangpu River, known as Chunshen River in ancient times, was formerly known as Chunshen River in Shanghai and Huang Xie. It's all in memory of Jun Shenjun. "
"The Nanjing Treaty lost power and land, and the Qing government agreed to open up five ports for trading in Shanghai, Guangzhou, Fuzhou, Xiamen, and Ningbo. In the 26th year of Daoguang, the British concession was delineated, which was the first time that China had a concession. Shanghai has never been unheard of. The small city, immersed in the forest among the international cities, should be taken as a target. Later, in the 28th year of Daoguang, the US concession was demarcated, and the French concession was delimited twice in the 29th year and the 11th year of Xianfeng. "
These first open trade ports eventually became one of the most developed regions in China. Things that seemed bad back then turned into good things when they looked back many years later. So there is no need to be overly happy or sad because of temporary blessings and misfortunes .
" The death of Mrs. Zhu has dealt a great blow to Du Wenqing. She was in troubled times and life is better than death. But he couldn't leave behind a pair of children who had lost their mothers. He took Du Yuesheng and his sister back to Yangshupu together, trying to work hard for life. Li, while feeding his two children personally. He was exhausted and he couldn't support it. He could only reluctantly cut love; sacrificed his daughter and gave her to others for adoption.
A few years later, Du Yuesheng went through the vicissitudes of life and succeeded in his own efforts. As a Shanghai-speaking person, he is a great old man admired by the whole country, supporting millions of dollars and spending money like soil. He has repeatedly publicly stated that Bulu hopes to find his sister and see him as a brother and sister. The only clue he has is that his sister was given to a Ningbo businessman surnamed Huang. Since then, he has been deceived many times, and people often report false news, or even pretend to be, until the 1940s of the Republic of China. After passing away in Hong Kong, with Du Yuesheng's prestigious momentum and status, his eager desire has never been fulfilled. "
Even if a person reaches a prominent position in the future. There can be some regrets, but after all, they cannot be remedied. What parents should do is not necessarily to make their children become prosperous, it is their own business. The duty that parents should perform should be that when their children are adults, they feel no regrets when they remember the time they were minors.
"The boss read the letter of recommendation, took in Du Yuesheng, and ordered him to be an apprentice. The apprentice has no salary, but only for board and lodging. He pays one or two yuan for shaving his head and bathing money a month. There are clerk in the shop below the boss, who do business. The running street, and other senior "seniors" of Yuesheng. Du Yuesheng came here for the first time. He was also a countryman. He was young and had little literacy. He was a layman and didn't understand Pepsi, so he would inevitably suffer and be angry. In the first three months of his arrival in Hongyuansheng, business affairs were not even touched at all. His main job is to serve the seniors, shop assistants, and streetwalkers, and be guided by them to do this and that. Gradually, he fell in favor of the boss's wife and became the boss's little servant. The boss's right-hand man in housework, pouring the chamber pot, flushing the toilet, and all the hard work fell on him.
For a period of time, in order to survive and develop, he could really do his best to work hard without complaining, not crying hard, not crying tired, getting up before dawn, and staying in the middle of the night. Everyone in the shop had a rest before they could sleep next to him spread out on the floor .
