Speaking of Du Yuesheng, many people should have heard his name. He was once a famous godfather in Shanghai, and he was also called the three tycoons of green gang with Huang Jinrong and Zhang Xiaolin. He was so powerful at that time that stamping his feet could shake the whole Shanghai. Later, in War of Resistance against Japanese Aggression, Du Yuesheng also actively participated and made a contribution to the national war of resistance.
So even though he did a lot of bad things, many people still called him "Mr. Du". Du Yuesheng is not only very powerful in the mafia, but also a master in business. His fruit selling routine was a golden idea, and even today, many companies still use it.

Du Yuesheng was born in 1888. He was from Chuanshating, Jiangsu Province. His family was poor, and his parents died young, and he was raised by his stepmother and uncle. Du Yuesheng experienced the hardships of life since he was a child. As he grew up, he wanted to get rid of the poor life more and more, so at the age of 14, he moved from Suzhou to Shanghai to make a living.
When Du Yuesheng came to Shanghai, his first stop was Shiliupu. When he got off the boat, he was completely dumbfounded when he looked at the tall buildings around him, the rickshaws speeding by, and the enchanting women wearing cheongsam in the street.
It's completely different from Gao Qiao town where Du Yuesheng lives. It's full of splendor and ecstasy, which makes him at a loss for a moment. But when he took a deep breath and smelled the smell of copper and perfume, his heart quickly calmed down. Du Yuesheng looked at this amazing world with fascination, and secretly vowed in his heart that he must mix a piece of heaven and earth here.
But before you figure out how to get ahead, the first thing you have to solve is your own food and clothing, which is not easy for Du Yuesheng, who looks like a turtle. So after carefully looking at the surrounding environment, he resolutely stepped into a fruit shop and became an ordinary guy inside.
Selling fruit is what Grandma thinks is the most promising career, so this time Du Yuesheng decided to listen to Grandma and sell fruit well. And this profession is also the most stable job in Du Yuesheng's legendary life.

At this time, Du Yuesheng didn't have a very grand wish, and he didn't expect to become a gangster in the future. His greatest wish at that time was just to fill his stomach and not sleep on the street. Therefore, at first, he was very quiet in the fruit business, selling fruits honestly and never making trouble on his own initiative. He can be regarded as a good citizen.
However, Du Yuesheng's bones are full of cunning, which is very suitable for him to use in business. Therefore, the boss of the fruit shop and other colleagues thought that he was very suitable for business, and he might be able to become a small boss, marry an ordinary wife and live the life of a city person in the future.
But Du Yuesheng is destined to be an extraordinary person. Because he is smart and capable, and has a sweet mouth, he won the appreciation of his boss, so he gave him the delivery job. This is a fat job, because generally, people who order fruits are rich people or rich officials and gentry. These guests often go to various occasions and spend a lot of money, and they often reward tips, which are not required to be handed over to the boss.
But Du Yuesheng is different from others. After he gets a tip, he always takes the initiative to hand it over to his boss, which makes him happy and makes him feel more at ease to deliver the goods.
Of course, this is not to say that Du Yuesheng doesn't love money. In fact, this is exactly his routine, because those rich people don't know the price when ordering fruit. In this way, Du Yuesheng can quote a higher price, and he can make a difference from it. This money is much more than tipping, and as long as the boss is happy and let him deliver more goods, he will naturally earn more.
Du Yuesheng made a lot of money in this way, and gradually settled down in Shanghai. At this time, Shanghai was relatively stable because of the French, and there was no war. During that time, Du Yuesheng had a very peaceful life, until one time, he delivered the goods to the casino, and once he entered, he couldn't move his feet any more.
after that, he would go to the casino every day and gamble from time to time. As a result, he became more and more addicted to gambling, and even later, he even lost the money for delivery.
But Du Yuesheng is not worried. He has a good idea. I saw that he found several familiar customers and persuaded them to book fruit in advance. Those customers knew Du Yuesheng very well, so they agreed and gave him the deposit in advance, so that he could pay back the money to his boss. This routine was definitely a golden idea at that time, and even today, many companies are still using it.
But after all, paper can't hold fire. Later, Du Yuesheng's gambling and deposit collection were known to the boss. Of course, the boss wouldn't continue to use Du Yuesheng, but he didn't embarrass him too much, and even gave him a sum of money as living expenses. And Du Yuesheng always remembers this kindness, and after he developed, he specially took care of this boss. At the same time, because of this incident, Du Yuesheng's legendary life was finally achieved.

Boss Du was able to start from scratch, from an unknown poor boy to a man of the hour in Shanghai, not by luck, but by strength. Boss Du's greatest strength is to behave himself.
Even if I don't know Du Yuesheng's readers, I think I've all heard of his three bowls of noodles. "There are three bowls of noodles in life that are unpalatable, including people, scenes and feelings."
It can be said that Boss Du has thoroughly eaten these three bowls of noodles, so he can make both ends meet in Shanghai, and he can turn from a poor boy into Boss Du and become a local tyrant in Shanghai. On the one hand, people are cruel, but there are too many gangsters in Shanghai, but there is only one Du Yuesheng, because he knows how to be a man, be a man and meet people.
As ordinary people, if we want to gain a foothold in society, we should learn more from Boss Du. Of course, we don't mean to learn from him how to be ruthless, but to learn from his way of being human, to discard the dross and keep the essence.
