Republic of China Tycoon Reborn

Lian Dayuan rationalized his thoughts: "Most of our original manpower from Shenji Camp stayed with Song Sanxi in Sichuan, and those who came to Shanghai were only a very small part, plus a few who originally followed Chen Da. Ten brothers, less than a hundred at full count, these are our backbone, the rest are newly recruited, Mr. Du basically doesn’t make enemies with anyone, so we don’t have much chance to fight,"

He paused and continued: "We usually transport some of our contraband, which is just arms and medicines smuggled from foreign countries. There is no risk in that. Well, friends on the scene We all buy your face, and rarely do you encounter any troublesome people."

Du Yuesheng nodded: "From now on, I want you to change. First, all the key members will be dispersed into our various businesses as idlers. Don't get involved in the dock and freight industry. I mean the general." Businesses with storefronts such as hotels must spread our people to every corner of Shanghai,"

"In that case, everyone will be dispersed. If there is any emergency," Lian Dayuan asked quickly.

"Recruit people, recruit people in large quantities," Du Yuesheng took a deep puff of his cigar: "Anyone who works with us and wants to join our force, as long as their character is relatively reliable, we will recruit them all. Not only that , you can also recruit a large number of idle people in society, hey, if you spread the word, just say that I, Du Yuesheng, am recruiting people, I think there will definitely be a large number of followers,"

"In what name?" Yuan Shanbao asked.

Du Yuesheng pondered for a moment and then answered him: "In order to develop the Qinggang, all the people recruited can belong to the Qinggang. Those who do well will directly become my disciples."

"Recruiting people like this will make people in Jianghu Road think wildly," Chen Junrong shook his head: "If others don't tell me, Huang Huangrong alone will not be happy. If you expand in a big way, he will first feel that you are threatening. He, I guess, will definitely stop you in the name of disrupting the rules of the Youth Gang and recruiting rabble-rousers."

"Ha, Huang Huangrong is our shield," Du Yuesheng smiled confidently: "I will have a secret conversation with him recently, saying that I recruited people in order to curb the Red Gang. He represents the Green Gang. If more people are recruited from the Red Gang, the Red Gang will definitely He will be alert, but I am different. If I do this, the Red Gang will not pay attention. Hey, the Red Gang has become more and more powerful recently. Overwhelming them is Huang Huangrong’s first priority. All I have to say is this, he I will definitely agree. When the time comes, if someone from the gang world or the Youth Gang comes to obstruct me, he will jump out to block me."

Lian Dayuan raised his thumb: "This is the best plan."

Du Yuesheng nodded: "The newly recruited people must pay attention to cultivating their centripetal force. Then, if there are more people in the area, the old will lead the new ones. Our key members should lead them hand in hand." After saying this, Du Yuesheng pondered for a moment, and then he He made up his mind: "Call Song Sanxi back. He is indispensable here. Just a dozen people from the Shenji Camp can stay in Sichuan. The rest will follow Sanxi back. Well, let him learn from the brothers about the things over there. Find someone capable inside to take over,"

From that day on, Du Yuesheng's power started to operate like a machine. He first went to visit Huang Huangrong in the evening. As Chen Junrong expected, Huang Huangrong was skeptical of Du Yuesheng's ideas. He repeatedly advised Du Yuesheng to pay attention to the ancestral precepts of the Qing Gang. , Never accept people randomly.

Du Yuesheng sneered in his heart. Huang Jinrong said it beautifully, but he himself never took the gang rules and ancestral teachings seriously. Chen Shichang said many years ago that gangs rely on the strength of many people, the strength of fists, the strength of money, and the strength of gangs. Things like rules and regulations can only be used to restrain subordinates. Anyone who really takes this seriously must be a fool.

He was tempting Huang Huangrong and pointed out that he was only doing this to fight against the Red Gang. After hearing this, Huang Huangrong's attitude made a 180-degree turn. He began to agree with Du Yuesheng's approach and asked Zhang Xiaolin to follow Du Yuesheng's example. , began to recruit disciples.

Huang Huangrong was used by Du Yuesheng again in such a confused way. As expected, from then on, no one in the world has troubled Du Yuesheng about this matter. Not only that, everyone felt that Du Yuesheng accepted so many people purely because of the dispute between the Qinghong Gang and the Red Gang. , no one thinks about other aspects at all.

After looking for Huang Jinrong, Du Yuesheng also made a special trip to visit Chen Qimei. As he expected, although Chen Qimei's attitude was a bit vague, he vaguely supported Sun Yat-sen and Chiang Kai-shek's forces. It was normal to think about it. Chen Qimei had always been working for Sun Yat-sen. He was half of Chiang Kai-shek's teacher. It was because of him that Chiang Kai-shek knew Sun Yat-sen. They had such a relationship, how could he not support them?

Supporting Chiang Kai-shek also means supporting Dai Li. Du Yuesheng is not sure whether Dai Li has ever visited Chen Qimei, nor is it clear whether Chen Qimei knows that he is now helping Dai Li. But one thing he knows very well is that Dai Li's IQ is absolutely fine. , As long as Chen Qimei stands on the same side as them, Dai Li must have explained the matter.

Sure enough, after Du Yuesheng tentatively talked to him several times, Chen Qimei's words showed that she didn't care. This made Du Yuesheng feel relieved, and he finally began to expand blatantly.

Du Yuesheng's appeal in Shanghai far exceeds his own imagination. The three words "Mr. Du" are like a golden sign, attracting countless people from all walks of life to join him. But it is strange that no matter how many people he recruits, these people It always calmed down quickly. No one knew how Du Yuesheng arranged for them, and no one knew what benefits they got from Du Yuesheng. What's even stranger is that most of them are still engaged in their original jobs as before. Profession.

In business, Du Yuesheng also began to expand rapidly. His strength was always half-dark and no one could accurately estimate how far he had developed.

In all of this, the most concerned person was Dai Li who was hiding in the dark. Within a few months, Du Yuesheng sent him several very important pieces of information. With the help of this information, Chiang Kai-shek grew stronger in the central government step by step. This was something beyond Dai Li's expectation. It was a surprise for him, but he was mixed with joy and sorrow and couldn't be happy at all.

Because all of these are Du Yuesheng's achievements, it can be said that if Du Yuesheng gives him the chance, he will immediately become blind and deaf. This makes Dai Li feel on pins and needles, but there is nothing he can do. He is too weak now and can't get in at all. Shanghai Beach, and all of this was done by Du Yuesheng with his own money and help. He didn't ask for a penny from them or a single person, so they were relieved, but accordingly, nothing happened. say.

"This situation must be changed in the future," Dai Li reminded himself every day. He liked to be in control of everything, but this feeling and situation was unacceptable to him.

Du Yuesheng's influence is gradually expanding, but he is very calm. He does not reach out too much to the concession. He wants to leave the concession to Huang Huangrong. Du Yuesheng knows very well that once he touches the concession, Huang Huangrong will immediately become anxious. Now is not the time, the concession can only be left alone.

He began to frequently socialize with prominent figures in various gangs, not only in gangs, in the business world, but also in the government. He began to interact frequently. The network he promised to Dai Li was the next step in his efforts. The steps get bigger and bigger.

That afternoon, there was a slight drizzle in the sky, and Du Yuesheng received a call. It was from someone from the Huang Mansion. The person from the Huang Mansion conveyed Huang Huangrong's intention to invite Du Yuesheng to watch a play in the big world. You can tell by asking. , this play must be Lu Chunlan’s.

Huang Huangrong has never had much entertainment with Du Yuesheng, because he feels that he is senior and powerful, and Du Yuesheng is just a junior. Not only is he a junior, he is also a junior who hangs out with him. Elders should always look like elders. He and Du Yuesheng When they met, they usually talked about serious matters, but this time, for the first time, he actually wanted to watch a play with him.

"Can't you sit still?" Du Yuesheng smiled slightly. Not counting his secret power, he only said that his power on the surface was almost on an equal footing with Huang Huangrong. Such a state was enough to arouse Huang Huangrong's nervousness.

Speaking of watching the theater, Du Yuesheng inevitably thought of Meng Xiaodong. He thought about her a lot these days, but when he thought of Meng Xiaodong's theory, he felt helpless. How can he change her concept? Du Yuesheng Didn't think about it well.

"Shan Bao," Du Yuesheng turned to look at him: "How is Meng Xiaodong doing recently?"

"How do I know?" Yuan Shanbao spread his hands: "I have to ask first."

Du Yuesheng laughed. He also felt that his question was too unreliable. He thought for a while and continued to ask: "What time is Huang Jinrong's appointment?"

"It starts at three o'clock in the afternoon," Yuan Shanbao reminded him.

Du Yuesheng laughed and said, "It's three o'clock in the afternoon. What does Lu Chunlan think about singing at this time? She's deliberately not letting people see her." He then patted Yuan Shanbao and said, "Let's go and cheer her up." go,"

Yuan Shanbao agreed and drove the car. Now Du Yuesheng was not going to the theater, but to meet Huang Jinrong. Going alone would naturally be a loss of status, so he dispatched three cars, not because he was worried about his own safety. Safety is purely to support the scene.

The motorcade drove towards the big world and soon arrived at the destination. They were not going to the Qiankun Grand Theater, but a small theater next to it. As Zhang Xiaolin said, the Qiankun Grand Theater was too big and Lu Chunlan couldn't hold the place. She wanted to Going on stage would be an embarrassment to the Qiankun Grand Theatre. Huang Huangrong specially renovated a small theater next to her, which was nicknamed "Shared Stage".

When everyone was about to park the car, Du Yuesheng suddenly stopped them: "Wait a minute." Yuan Shanbao followed Du Yuesheng's gaze and saw a woman not far ahead. She was none other than Meng Xiaodong.
