Chapter 609 Run On

"No way? The reputation of the Universal Bank is still credible." Some people did not believe the rumors.

"Who knows? Are there still few pious people?"

"This kind of thing is better to be believed."

"It doesn't matter, take it out first and then talk."

Under the continuous encouragement of caring people, some people finally wavered slowly and began to follow the trend.

The power of rumors is still very effective in front of Chinese people. In history, several frenzied buying spree due to absurd Internet rumors are the best proof.

All of a sudden, the number of people withdrawing money from Chang'an Sub-branch of Universal Bank exceeded the number of depositors, which is really unusual. Even those who are skeptical of the rumors are staying on the sidelines and not saving any money.

Such abnormalities naturally aroused the attention of the staff and immediately reported to the branch manager.

The shopkeeper of the Chang'an branch is a senior banking talent hired by Meng Zhida after a lot of effort during the Spring Festival. His name is Li Wei, and he has had contacts with Meng Zhida in reality.

"Don't panic, deal with them normally." Li Wei ordered.

"Yes!" The staff backed out as promised.

In Li Wei's eyes, there was an imperceptible strange light.

In Qianzhuang, the authority of the treasurer is unquestionable. In this way, under Li Wei's pressure, the headquarters of the Universal Bank still knew nothing about this incident.

In just two hours, the wave of money withdrawals in front of the Chang'an branch intensified, and it was about to turn into a run on. Slowly, the entire city of Chang'an was spreading rumors about the run on the Four Seas Bank.

The rumors are getting more and more outrageous.

At this point, there is no need for people behind the scenes to fan the flames. Players who are born to join in the fun will naturally weave horror rumors one after another.

"Have you heard? The Four Seas Bank is about to close down."

"No way?"

"Why not? Go there and have a look, the street is full of people withdrawing money."

"Then I will go too."

Rumors spread like a virus. The crowd, who were originally interested in watching the excitement, saw so many people withdrawing money, they couldn't hold back any longer, and joined the army of withdrawing money.

At this point, the truth is no longer important, and everyone seems to have lost their minds. The front of the Qianzhuang Gate was crowded, and the scene was about to get out of control.

At this time, Li Weicai stepped forward unhurriedly and said an official article.

Naturally, it has no effect at all.

Seeing that the bank treasury is about to run out.

According to regulations, only one emergency fund is kept in the sub-branch treasury. Every once in a while, large sums of money will be transferred to Shanhai City's general treasury.

This arrangement is also to ensure the safety of the bank's funds.

And once the treasury is exhausted, the consequences will be disastrous.

"Shopkeeper, should you notify the headquarters? Otherwise, it will be difficult to end." The head of the bank asked.

"What are you panicking about! This matter can't be handled well, what will the headquarters think of our branch?!" Li Wei's attitude was extremely tough, "Tell the front desk staff to slow down the process."

"Yes!" The master replied in embarrassment.

The principal knows well that slowing down the process can only quench thirst by drinking poison. The most fundamental way is to mobilize a large amount of funds to the headquarters to alleviate the panic of the players.

Sure enough, someone else made a fool of himself.

"Why are you procrastinating? Are you out of money?" A young man who was withdrawing money suddenly asked the front desk staff loudly, expressing his dissatisfaction.

"I'm sorry sir, because there are too many people, please wait patiently." The staff replied.

"There are too many people, so it is clear that you have no money. After a while, you will have no money? At first I didn't believe it, but now I believe it. You must have embezzled the reserve fund." The young man refused to let go.

This noise naturally attracted the attention of other players in the lobby.

The other people were even more excited when they heard the words.

"Calm down, everyone. The bank's treasury has sufficient funds. Anyone who wants to withdraw money will definitely be processed quickly. It's just that we have limited manpower, so please wait patiently." The shopkeeper stepped forward to coordinate.

"Hmph, empty words are useless."

After such a commotion, the scene was a little out of control.

If it wasn't for the Jinwu Guard planned by Ouyang Shuo, it would have been in place, it would have been messed up long ago.

Even so, I'm afraid it won't last long.

Sihai Bank's Chang'an Sub-branch, under a series of plans by people with good intentions, is becoming out of hand.

*************

Shanhai City, Southern Border Protectorate.

"I want to see my wife!"

The Black Snake Guard led the Black Snake, and came to the back hall with a solemn expression.

"Black Commander, what's the matter?"

Leaning slightly, Song Jia came from the back hall, and in her words, she respected the black snake very much.

After the two got married, Ouyang Shuo handed over the Black Snake Guard to Song Jia. After all, he often goes out, and some things cannot be dealt with in time.

Song Jia's identity is most suitable.

"Ma'am, something happened to the Chang'an branch of Universal Bank." Black Snake reported.

The run-on situation in Chang'an City intensified, and the commander of the Black Snake Guard's intelligence station in Chang'an finally realized that something was wrong, and reported the situation to the headquarters in the form of an urgent letter.

When Black Snake got the news, he realized something was wrong, and immediately went to Song Jia.

After Song Jia heard this, she didn't panic. She asked the black snake to retreat first, and kept an eye on the progress of the incident.

"Use the strength of Chang'an station to find out the bottom line." Song Jia ordered.

Hearing this, a hint of admiration flashed in Hei Snake's eyes.

"Worthy of being the woman chosen by the prince, she really has everyone's demeanor."

...

"Come here!" Song Jia said.

"exist!"

"Treasurer Meng, please come." Song Jia said gently.

"promise!"

While waiting, Song Jia picked up the pen again and wrote more than a dozen urgent letters. The recipient of the mail is the member of the Council of the Universal Bank.

After leaning slightly, Meng Zhida hurried over.

Although Song Jia was his daughter's classmate, Meng Zhida didn't go overboard in the slightest.

"Ma'am!" Meng Zhida saluted.

"Treasurer Meng, take a look at this." Song Jia handed the information compiled by the Black Snake Guard to Meng Zhida.

When Meng Zhida saw it, his hands couldn't help trembling.

"Meng's employment is improper, please punish me." Meng Zhida looked ashamed.

Such important news, as the treasurer of the Four Seas Bank, unexpectedly got it from the Nanjiang Governor's Mansion. It is conceivable that there must be something wrong with the Chang'an branch.

At the very least, it was a work error.

"Let's put the matter of accountability aside for now, and we'll discuss it when Lord Hou comes back." Song Jia was noncommittal, and said softly, "I mean, shopkeeper Lao Meng will personally go to Chang'an with funds to stabilize the situation. If possible, the best It’s good to investigate clearly, the ins and outs of this matter.”

"Understood!" Meng Zhida's face was determined.

As an experienced banker, Meng Zhida knew too well how terrifying it would be if the run on spread. At that time, even if the rumors are clarified, the run cannot be prevented.

After Meng Zhida left, Song Jia began to arrange the side hall to prepare for the members of the council.

After receiving the urgent letter from Song Jia, Bai Hua and others rushed over one by one. It's just that there are a lot of people on the council, and you are all busy people. It's not so easy to get together.

By three o'clock in the afternoon, everyone was counted.

The information compiled by the Black Snake Guard was distributed to the members one by one.

Song Jia knew that she could not completely replace Ouyang Shuo, after introducing the information, she did not consider herself the master, but asked the vice president, Feng Prison Huang, to preside over the meeting.

Feng Prison Huang did her part, she and Song Jia had a faint sense of competition.

What a mess!

"It's a conspiracy."

The perpetual conspiracy theorists are the first to speak.

"There is no need to specifically mention such an obvious matter." Feng Prisonhuang rolled his eyes at Xunlong's acupoints and looked around, "Let's discuss how to solve the immediate crisis."

"I will settle the rumors with [Chang'an Evening News] about the [Blood Fiend Mercenary Group]." Bloody Romantic didn't expect that someone would actually reach his head with a gloomy expression.

"I see [Chang'an Evening News], it's very problematic." Bai Hua took the conversation.

"Then check carefully, who gave them the courage to play tricks with [Shanhai League], it's too much for themselves." Feng Prison Huang is still so domineering.

"Of course we need to investigate, but the most important thing right now is to refute the rumors one by one. Otherwise, once the turmoil spreads, I worry that it will affect other royal cities." Xie Siyun reminded.

"Let's find Bai Xiaosheng!" Feng Prisonhuang made a decision.

Nothing clarifies more effectively than a detailed feature report. Bai Xiaosheng is obviously an expert in this field, and the two also have a basis for cooperation.

"About the rumors about misappropriation of reserves, some players and media can be invited to visit the Shanhai City vault to prove their innocence." Song Jia suggested.

"That's a good idea!"

"Besides, the doubts about the profits of each territory must have real information. In my opinion, let's selectively disclose the development plans of the territories." Feng Prisonhuang said.

"no problem."

For the slander of "Chang'an Evening News", Siege Lion and others also turned black. What does it mean to be unable to repay the loan? Isn't this slapping them in the face? !

"In addition to dispelling rumors, we also have to be alert to what the other party has behind us." Bai Hua said.

All of you here have a guess in your mind that those who can do these things are most likely members of the [Yanhuang League], and their purpose is naturally to improve the status of Huitong Bank by attacking the Four Seas Bank.

It's just that this method is a bit low-key.

"In case of difficulty in capital turnover, [Shangxue Meigui] can urgently mobilize one million gold coins." Xie Siyun was the first to express her opinion.

"[Blood Fiend Mercenary Group] can also mobilize more than one million, if necessary, just say so." This conspiracy has deepened Bloody Romance's recognition of [Shanhai League].

Seeing this, Bai Hua and the others nodded in relief.

The leaders of other guilds also expressed their opinions one by one.

The giant ship of the Four Seas Bank has a bright future, and they will never give up this bright road just because of a conspiracy by the other party.

The tenacity and unity of [Shanhai League] might surprise the enemy, right? !
