Huang Jinrong
"Pockmarked" Huang Jinrong was the senior Chinese officer in the French gendarmerie in the 1920s and 1930s. Through his relationship with Du Yue-sheng, he organised crime in the French Concession, making sure that the brothels and opium dens were profitable and well-ordered. The French, much more pragmatic in these matters than the superficially moralistic British in the International Settlement, saw little problem in having a police chief keeping criminal activity under control with everybody, including the French expatriates, benefiting handsomely.
It is said that Du had an intimate relationship with Huang's wife, and that she helped convince Huang to go into partnership with Du. Huang is also said to have owned the Great World pleasure centre on the border of the French and International concessions.
