Although Du Yuesheng is the notorious gang leader of Shanghai Beach, he is smart and has a very high emotional intelligence, which is familiar with him, no one is dissatisfied, and he is amazed.
Du Yuesheng once had a good story of saving Siming Bank.
The manager of this Siming Bank is named Sun Hengfu, and he is also a super smart person. He was originally a guy from a money bank, and because of his scheming and calculation, he actually jumped from a money bank guy to the major shareholder, chairman, and general manager of Siming Bank, and ran Siming Bank well, making it one of several famous commercial banks in Shanghai Beach. When he himself went out, he sat in a car equipped with bulletproof glass, plus more than a dozen bodyguards, surrounded by front and back, very imposing, and he was also a prominent figure on the beach.
However, Siming Bank also had bad luck days.
At the end of 1931, there was a run on the Siming Bank.
Why?
Because Sun Hengfu took bank funds to invest heavily in real estate, he bought more than 1,200 houses in Shanghai alone, causing a shortage of bank funds. As soon as the news came out, a large number of depositors began to run. Originally, Siming Bank was tight because of the shortage of funds for buying real estate, and there was a run, so it was suddenly on the verge of life and death, and it was difficult to overwhelm.
However, this Sun Hengfu's brain melon is smarter than the average person.
Seeing that Siming Bank is in danger, it will collapse at any time. Late one night, Sun Hengfu was immediately alone, sitting in a bulletproof car, quietly knocking on the door of Du Mansion, and after seeing Du Yuesheng, he said: "Mr. Du, they all say that you have a way, please save me!" ”
Du Yuesheng saw his sad face and laughed loudly: "This is easy to do, no problem." However, you have to give me a check for $500,000 to spare. ”
Sun Hengfu had already prepared: "This cheque of 500,000 yuan is given to Mr. Du, which is considered to be a reward after the fact." ”
After Du Yuesheng accepted the check, he said: "Tomorrow afternoon, those who exchange money will automatically leave." You wait. ”
Sun Hengfu left in disbelief.
The next morning, as soon as siming bank headquarters opened for business, the door was still crowded with cashiers. By three o'clock in the afternoon, the depositors who had run the money were still overcrowded, almost squeezing the doors of the banks. Suddenly, two large trucks came in front of the bank, and someone shouted, "Get out of the way." ”
When everyone saw it, Du Yuesheng personally escorted two large trucks and came to the door of Siming Bank.
There were many people at the entrance of Siming Bank, and the order was very chaotic. After Du Yuesheng got out of the car, he said to his men:
"Take someone out of the car and carry the box into the house."
So the horses began to carry the boxes on the trucks.
The crowd was crowded, and the horses struggled to carry the boxes. Suddenly, with a "whoosh" sound, a box fell from the shoulder of a horse boy to the ground, and the silver dollars of white flowers in the box were scattered on the ground.
"Yikes! It's all oceans! Someone shouted.
Du Yuesheng also shouted loudly: "Dear customers, please do not crowd, please let open a road, let my men carry these boxes containing money to Siming Bank, a total of 150 boxes, to ensure that everyone can redeem the ocean." ”
After saying that, he waved his hand, and the bank staff and escorts went into battle together, and the cashier hurriedly gave way to a road, so that the 150 boxes on the two large trucks were all moved into the bank's warehouse.
The people who ran the cash looked at it, Du Yuesheng sent 150 boxes of silver dollars at once, and what money was missing in Siming Bank, it was a complete rumor! It is stronger than other banks! Storing money in Siming is the safest thing! So they stopped exchanging silver dollars and left.
The news immediately spread on the beach. The depositors who had exchanged the silver dollars heard about this and immediately ran back and re-deposited the withdrawn silver dollars in the Siming Bank.
In fact, what silver dollars did Du Yuesheng have in those 150 boxes? Except for the chest that fell to the ground, which contained silver dollars, the other chests were all stones. And the silver dollar in that box was exchanged by Du Yuesheng with the 500,000 yuan ocean check that Sun Hengfu gave him last night to send people to Zhonghui Bank in the morning.
Du Yuesheng saved siming bank in danger, the reputation in the banking industry suddenly rose, the banks in Shanghai Beach have regarded him as a protective god, and soon, Du Yuesheng became the chairman of Pudong, Guoxin, Yadong and other banks, the executive vice chairman of the Bank of China, the Bank of Communications, and other banks also asked him to work part-time.
