Du, the man of the year in Shanghai, is the winner of the black-and-white film. People always wonder how rich he can be. In fact, these can't be accurately estimated, and the exact figures can't be expressed by numbers, but it is said that Du's property at that time was equivalent to the assets of three banks in Shanghai. In addition, the construction of Du Mansion cost more than 300,000 dollars. It is said that a French designer was hired, and the garden and residence were designed with Chinese and western styles. This was the most luxurious private apartment in Shanghai at that time. It can be called Paris in my dream. The annual expenditure of Du Mansion amounts to 2 million yuan. What is the concept of 2 million oceans? At that time, a Shanghainese's annual living expenses 100 ocean would be good. Du's annual consumption is equivalent to that of 20,000 Shanghainese. In addition, it is said that Du has nine cars, drivers and assistants 18. More than a dozen bodyguards, the car is Chevrolet, and the license plate is seven seven. Don't think that nine cars are nothing now. In 2002, there were only 19 1400 cars in Shanghai. A good license plate needs twenty or thirty taels of gold to get. For example, No.3333 was exchanged for gold by E Sen, a barrister in Shanghai, No.4444 was won by Sheng Laosi, the fourth son of Sheng Xuanhuai, and No.5555 was won by her husband, lawyer Jiang Da. It is said that Du did not choose 8888 because there has been a saying of "seven ups and eight downs" since ancient times. Of course, Du's license plate was also given by someone. The 1920s and 1930s were the peak periods of Du Yuesheng. Sanxin Company was founded by Du Yu 1925, which almost monopolized the shopping malls and cigarette shops in Shanghai. 1929, Du invested and founded Zhonghui Bank, which was very famous at that time. You must have heard of the assets owned by well-known banks. As mentioned above, the assets of the three banks in Shanghai together are equivalent to the real estate owned by Du at the peak. Du's most proud period should be from 1927 to 1937. At that time, his most proud apprentice, Lu Jingshi, was the head of the Military Justice Division in garrison headquarters, and another apprentice, Wang Zhaohuai, was the investigation battalion chief in garrison headquarters. Yang hu has been obedient to him since he was the commander of the Shanghai garrison for the second time. Jin Jiulin, Inspector General of China in French Concession, Ji Yunqing, Inspector General of British Concession, were also his cronies. In addition, he was closely related to Chiang Kai-shek and had contacts with Kong Xiangxi and Song Ziwen. These people all open banks and do business in Shanghai, and they have a good relationship with Du. At that time, Dai Li, yang hu and Chen Qun were the best relations with Du, and they were all sworn brothers. Among the local officials in Shanghai, Wu Kai is his best friend. Wu turned out to be Du's apprentice. Later, Du returned his protege card (just like Huang returned Chiang Kai-shek's protege card), and the two became friends. Warlords in various provinces also made friends with Du, and their main purpose was naturally to engage in opium business in partnership. If nothing else, the above points alone are enough to prove that Du's huge capital and rich property in his heyday were unparalleled in Shanghai at that time. I am talking about history for nothing, paying attention to me and taking you into a different historical world.
