Chapter 2061 Revenge Begins 2
At the same time, Zhao Tingting in Hong Kong was not idle either; the opportunity was right in front of him; how could he miss it! In order to boost morale, the Hong Kong media had previously reported that the charter king and Zheng Yutong had jointly acquired the controlling stake in Barings Bank.
You should know that this is the first time that a British bank has been acquired by a Hong Kong businessman, which is of epoch-making significance; it all demonstrates the strength and prosperity of Hong Kong's economy!
In addition, the Zheng family's development in recent years has not been satisfactory, and Shark Dantong also wants to use this matter to let the people of Hong Kong see that the Zheng family has not collapsed and still has strong capital.
Not to mention that they are invincible in the business world, but as long as they want to acquire a company, they can still successfully acquire it. They even paid for media coverage, with a very clear purpose; to let the whole of Hong Kong and even the world know about the Zheng family's big move!
How high they were praised at the beginning, how badly they fell at this moment; it was completely shooting themselves in the foot. At present, the whole world knows that the Zheng family made a wrong decision and took over the mess of Barings Bank!
Media reports like to exaggerate, but this time they don't need to do so deliberately; just the loss of several billion pounds alone has made Shark Dan and its major companies no longer trusted by customers.
With such a huge loss, coupled with a series of outrageous operations by the Zheng family in recent years, the public will naturally react.
The first to be affected is Zheng's Bank, which acquired a mess itself; it has basically relied on the support of the charter king and HSBC for so many years to avoid bankruptcy and liquidation.
Now that such a big thing has happened again, even if the interest rate is high, depositors dare not put their money in.
High interest is indeed a good thing, but the first problem is whether it can be obtained; the principal may not be kept, and what interest is there to talk about? It's ridiculous to say it!
For this action, Zhao Tingting prepared for a long time, and had arranged for many people to deposit money in Zheng's Bank before. Now is the perfect time for revenge.
Early in the morning, all branches of Zheng's Bank in Hong Kong were lined up. And they all held deposit certificates, and their intention was very obvious; they wanted to withdraw the money, even if they lost interest, they would not hesitate!
On the surface, the people arranged by Zhao Tingting have no relationship with the Black Cloud Group, at least they cannot be found out with the intelligence capabilities of the Zheng family; besides, they come here to deposit money, and the money is deposited in Zheng's Bank; there is no deception at all.
In addition, the deposit amount is not large, so it did not arouse suspicion.
At this moment, these deposits are not large amounts, but Zheng's Bank is miserable.
No matter how the bank staff persuades, they simply cannot listen; the purpose of coming here today is very clear. Take the money out, and it is useless to say anything else!
The Zheng family has been in Hong Kong for so many years, even if it has not developed smoothly recently; after all, a lean camel is bigger than a horse, and the people of Hong Kong instinctively think that it is not so easy to collapse.
Of course, that was when no one pushed it, and the matter was another matter at this moment; seeing that someone insisted on taking the money away, ordinary depositors naturally did not want to lag behind.
Shark Dantong was cheated of so much money by the British, it is very likely that their deposits in the bank were used; now the money has been in the pockets of the British, and it is impossible to take it out.
This means that Zheng's Bank has a serious shortage of funds, and those who withdraw money first can still get it; the last one in line may have nothing left.
Not only Zheng's Bank, but also the bank of the shipping king's family was not spared; Bao's purpose was very clear, that is, to let them taste the pain he suffered in the past. A gentleman's revenge is never too late, and this time they must not be spared lightly.
Of course, it is unrealistic to want to beat the other party to death with a stick; the Zheng family, especially the Bao family, still has many high-quality assets. As long as you know how to make choices; it is not difficult to resolve the current crisis.
But as long as you continue to weaken the other party's strength, the possibility of successful revenge in the future will be greater; anyway, he is still young and can wait!
It is also because Bao Chuanwang and Shark Dantong's families are lucky, and the Soviet Union is in danger; Bao Zixuan does not have much time and energy to clean up the two families, otherwise the losses he suffers; will be N times what they are now!
Zheng's Bank has always been in charge of Zheng Ershao, and it has grown a lot in recent years; in addition, the bank is not considered a core industry of the family. In the case of unwillingness to hand it over to outsiders for management; Zheng Ershao is almost the only choice!
Before, it was not calm, but it could achieve stable development; in addition, his father has been around, so he doesn't need to worry too much!
I have only heard of bank runs, but I have never seen them!
Being in a business family, he knows the importance of reputation. He asked the staff to appease the customers as soon as possible. For those who insist on taking the money, he will try his best to meet their requirements.
In theory, this operation is not wrong and is in line with the rules. At least it can maintain the image of the bank.
But there are too many depositors coming to withdraw money. Cash can handle it for a while. After all, the funds used by Shark Dantong to acquire Barings Bank mainly come from HSBC loans. Not much money was drawn from its own bank.
But the staff were a little too busy, and the people arranged by Zhao Tingting deliberately made trouble. The scene was a mess!
In the end, there was really no way, and Zheng Ershao had to come out in person. I believe that with his identity, the depositors can give him some face.
Zheng Ershao came to the lobby of Zheng's Bank headquarters and asked someone to bring a stool. This would make him look taller. People in the distance can also see that it is well-intentioned. Holding a portable megaphone, he said loudly: "Hello, fellow citizens, depositors of Zheng's Bank! I am the second son of the Zheng family, I believe many people know me!"
This is absolutely true, the second son of the Zheng family often appears in the tabloids; he is quite famous.
Seeing everyone looking at him showed that he was attracted by success; Mr. Zheng continued: "As for the media reports that my father, Mr. Zheng Yutong, was cheated in acquiring Bahrain Bank, the Zheng family does not deny it."
"What I want to tell you is, whether you believe it or not, the loss is still within the range that the Zheng family can bear. In other words, if your depositors' deposits are placed in Zheng's Bank, there is absolutely no problem. I regard this as my personality guarantee!"
"I hope you won't be instigated by some villains with ulterior motives. In the end, it will not only be the bank but also you who will suffer losses!"
From what he just said, it is not difficult to see that Second Young Master Zheng has indeed grown a lot; at the same time, he has also become more responsible. This is the strength of a big family. What do you want to do when you are young? Your parents may not interfere, but as long as you enter the family company, things will immediately become different.
You must be able to stand alone, not because of how strong your abilities are; but because the opportunities for training and the number of trials and errors are much higher than those of ordinary people. As long as it's not particularly stretched, it can be somewhat redeemed!
Although Second Young Master Zheng is not very popular and likes female celebrities and clubbing, he is representing the Zheng family after all at this moment, and he guarantees it with his personality, so his weight is not unimportant!
Many people at the scene began to waver, thinking that the Zheng family had a great cause and it could not collapse all at once. If you withdraw the money directly, you will lose a lot of interest; the gain outweighs the gain!
Er Shao Zheng knew very well that success or failure depended on this, so he continued: "If you don't believe it, you can go to the staff to get a number now; Zheng's Bank only has a few windows, come and withdraw money according to the appointment; the Zheng family guarantees that it will not be bad. Every penny!"
With so many people coming here at once, not to mention Zheng's Bank; any other bank would be too busy. People who can save money have some quality and naturally understand the reason!
Seeing someone preparing to go over to pick up the number, the people arranged by Zhao Tingting immediately started causing trouble!
I heard a young girl about twenty years old say loudly: "We come to Zheng's Bank to deposit money because your interest rate is higher than other banks!"
"As far as I know, most of the depositors of Zheng's Bank are your employees and family members. Is there anything fishy when receiving the numbers?"
"The fairest way is to queue up. Anyway, I don't plan to go to work in the past few days; I just spend it here until I get the money and leave!"
"And everyone, please don't believe the lies of the young master in front of you. His guarantee is useless; if the bank goes bankrupt, the Zheng family can go abroad, but we will have nothing left!"
The depositors who were preparing to collect their number plates and withdraw money immediately stopped after hearing the little girl's words. The young man was still smart and was almost deceived by the second master in front of him.
The Zheng family can go abroad, but they really can't get their money back; they have to take the money out, and nothing else matters!
If it is a burly man, it can be said that he is deliberately causing trouble; if it is a beautiful girl in her twenties, depositors will not believe it!
Second Young Master Zheng also had a look of helplessness on his face, and directly sent people over to drive them away; it showed that he was guilty of guilt, and he meant to bring it upon himself. But if you let him run wild, the situation will become even more difficult to control!
In fact, Er Shao Zheng's idea is too simple, or he has not mastered the twists and turns. There are many bodyguards around the girl; it is impossible for Zheng's Bank employees to get close to her.
In this way, the two sides were in a stalemate, and no one was willing to give in. In the end, there was no choice but to queue up to withdraw money; the situation was called chaos.
Of course, the bank manager is still very experienced and deliberately delays the counter staff; the work efficiency is much slower than usual. It can buy some time, and the rest can only be left to the owner to handle!
