Chapter 61 Run

"Regardless of the cost, greed is always good."

A banker is the most greedy person in the world. This sentence may be true. For a banker, greed is his real name and his instinct. It can even be said that this is what his profession requires. Whether it is folk contempt, press ridicule or political scoff, for every banker, they You must keep your greedy nature.

"Ding!"

Although the sky is not yet clear, in the living room of Sassoon Park, several well-dressed Westerners in suits are looking out of the window with a smile, as if waiting for the moment to come out.

"Gentlemen, I think Huisheng Bank will become history in a few hours!"

Jacob Sassoon gently pinched the goblet in his right hand and said with a smile.

"Mr. Sassoon, I got the news that Catherine got about five million silver dollars in cash from other countries, and I'm very worried about this!"

"It's just five million. If that's right, Catherine should have raised funds from Hong Kong and Singapore. This money is far from meeting her needs. If it's in peacetime, it may make those people feel at ease, but now..."

Jacob Sassoon, who gently squeezed the glass, showed a sneer on his face,

Since half a year ago, he has planned this matter with the people in the room. In half a year, although the people in this room used the name of others to save less than 5 million yuan in Huisheng, it was enough to set off a run,

Residents deposit money in the bank, at least the requirement is to ensure the safety of the money. As soon as the bank can't cash it out the money, the news will immediately spread throughout Shanghai. At that time, a large number of customers will flock to Huisheng and ask for deposits. This is the "sn run" that banks are most afraid of.

Even in order to add fuel to today's run, he even revealed through various channels that Huisheng is likely to have bankruptcy risk. Although it is only to spread gossip, which does not affect the overall situation, this gossip will exert his influence today. Since Charman's death, the Chinese people don't trust one. A woman-managed bank, once there is a run in the bank today, and at the latest tomorrow, there will be a large-scale run in front of Huisheng's door. Catherine raised five million for emergency response, but it is far from solving the problem.

"I think we can be grateful to Charman tomorrow. Without him, we might not have been able to get that huge wealth! I propose that we drink to Mr. Charlman!"

"For Charman!"

The sound of the crisp glass sounded in the room again.

In their hearts, everyone in this room is very grateful to Charman, who died in a sea disaster, especially several bankers in the house. They clearly know that if Charman did not die in a sea disaster, maybe next year they will face a banker whose capital is not inferior to theirs. Charman's speculative vision far exceeds that of the house. The people inside.

After the outbreak of the Boolean War, most of the people in this room bought British bonds, but at the beginning of the Boolean War, Charman bought gold and diamond stocks whose stock prices plummeted after being occupied or besieged. As he expected, although Britain was repeatedly disadvantaged, now Britain has won. That war was just a matter of a few months.

Unfortunately, when the war broke out, people only saw the support of European countries for the Boers, subconsciously ignoring the British determination to occupy South Africa, and missing the opportunity of the outbreak. The investment of one million pounds is enough to get a return of tens of millions of pounds, tens of millions of pounds, nearly 100 million pounds. The reward of the silver dollar is enough to make the whole Shanghai beach crazy, but it belongs to Charman.

But now, Charman is dead, and they have the opportunity to take those stocks as they already have. As soon as Huisheng fails, they can use the name of maintaining the reputation of foreign banks in China to buy Huisheng Bank and its assets at a low price, so as to divide Charman's purchases with bank depositor deposits like an astronomical figure. The huge amount of wealth.

"I have prepared the news in the newspaper that Huisheng Bank was run and unable to pay. I believe that even if Catherine survives today, she can't survive tomorrow! At that time, I will definitely let..."

Charlie didn't finish his words. If others were for the benefit, then he was not only for the benefit, but also for Catherine. Even after being rejected, he would still think of that woman.

Jacob Sassoon, who understood what Charlie was thinking, looked at the clock.

"There is still one and a half hours! How time flies!"

Catherine, who was sitting in the office, looked up at the wall clock. It was already half past eight. The expected run still did not appear. She held the teacup in her hands, as if she wanted to calm herself down with the heat of the teacup.

Today, there are 4.56 million deposits due, and nearly 4 million deposits may be intended to follow the trend. Catherine knows that if she can't cope with the impact of nearly 9 million yuan, Huisheng Bank will close tomorrow.

"It's up to today!"

Catherine muttered in her heart that she had been worried, even afraid and wanted to refuse the cash brought by the man. But she knew that she had no choice, either to accept it or go out of business. In the end, she chose to accept it, no longer considering the source of the huge amount of money, nor considering any other factors. As long as it could save the bank, it was enough.

From nearly nine o'clock in the morning, customers came one after another at the business counter of Huisheng Bank, that is, those who have deposits and those who exchange silver dollar coupons issued by Huisheng, but there are more and more people who exchange silver dollars. In recent days, there were more and more people, and after the eight business windows, the silver dollars in the silver boxes next to the bank staff were about to be cashed out.

But more employees are busy counting and collecting tickets and paying silver dollars. The air seems to have changed at this moment.

At this time, several people squeezed into the crowd and inserted into the team regardless of other people's curses. One of them took out a deposit slip from his clothes.

"Withdick!"

The bank clerk looked up and took the deposit slip, which was a sum of money deposited in the bank six months ago.

"Do you want to take it all out or?"

The person who withdrew the money shouted at this time.

"What nonsense! Take out all one million yuan, and my car is waiting outside!"

Boom! The people who were shouting that these people were unruly suddenly calmed down. They looked at these people in surprise and withdrawn one million at a time

"Mr., please wait!"

The clerk looked at the huge deposit slip in his hand, scratched his head, and handed the letter to the manager on duty.

"Mr. Ferri, look."

After taking over the deposit slip, he carefully checked the seal and handwriting, and then opened the account book to check it. The whole process took almost a few minutes, and then he turned his head and said to the messenger.

"Mr., please wait a moment. You see that there are so many people, there is no manpower! And you have to count the cash, or don't you come back in the afternoon, you see..."

The person who didn't withdraw the money shouted instead.

"What's the matter? You Huisheng Bank can't withdraw so much silver at once, can I? I said that. You Huisheng took our silver to buy it for speculation, but don't lose it all. I don't ask so much. Now I want silver. There is no cash, even foreign foreign tickets, as long as it's not your bank. It's just waste paper!"

The man shouted that it was not tight, and the crowd suddenly seemed to open the pot, squeezing and shouting.

"What? Is Huisheng Bank out of foreign countries?

"Isn't it? You heard from the newspaper that the original Charman sank into the sea. I'm not sure that the things bought by the grandson also sank into the sea. How can there be silver in Huisheng now?

"I've already said that this paper ticket is not safe. Now... Now, it should be on, right?"

"It sounds good. If you don't let him, you have to exchange it for cash. I have to go back and tell my relatives and friends that my cousin's family is still saving money. Let's leave as soon as possible.

"Withdid the money? What the hell, didn't you hear that person? All the cash in the silver box has been exchanged.

"Don't mention it? I said what he said. I'm not ambiguous. Why don't he exchange these three hundred cash for me? I smashed the sign of his Huisheng.

"Yes, yes, if you don't exchange it, you will smash the sign."

......

The more people gather, the more they are.

Ferry stood behind the cabinet in a hurry and shouted loudly.

"Let's be quiet, be quiet. Now there are a lot of silver in the treasury of Huisheng Bank. When you come back later, you will definitely exchange it for everyone. Besides, the tickets are as good as the current ones, our bank..."

Before he finished speaking, a person in the crowd immediately screamed.

"Since it's the same flower, why do they all withdraw cash? Do you still want to fool people with this paper ticket? Isn't it?"

The people around him immediately echoed with the sound.

"That's right, I don't care. Give me these two silver coupons for silver!"

The people who had just changed the money order once again rushed to the counter and shouted loudly, and more and more people in the bank gathered. Even outside the bank gate, some people spoke loudly or in a low voice.

"Huisheng Bank is about to collapse. Go and withdraw your deposit..."

Among these people, there are real customers, fake customers, and more people are the smoke released by Shasun and others. However, in an hour, almost half of Shanghai knows that the bank of Huisheng Bank is empty, the bank is gone, and the bank is about to close down. In the afternoon, more and more people came to the bank to run. A large number of customers flocked to the bank and eagerly asked for their own deposits. I'm anxious, scolding, crying, and messing around.

"Chairman, there are less than 4 million left in the bank! Even if you survive today, what about tomorrow? Tomorrow's trend will only be bigger. At that time, there will be more people who will withdraw and exchange silver. If it spreads to branches in Wuchang and other places, I'm afraid..."

Ferry sweated on his forehead at the time of reporting. In less than a day, he went out more than one million yuan in cash and hundreds of thousands of dollars in cash. This was the first time in the whole Shanghai beach. What he was most worried about was that the run spread from Shanghai. As Charman's cronies, he knew exactly where the bank's silver had gone, and he also knew the black hand behind the run.

"Chairman, if we go to them now... Maybe it's urgent!"

Catherine glanced out of the window and looked at the long withdrawal line on the street. Her heart was also chilled.

In a week, it has made her hard time to exchange those dollars into silver dollars, but this run is far more powerful than she thought. Those people really want to raise the foreign exchange to death.

"Ferry, we have another way!"

While talking, she took out a piece of paper from the drawer. That was a week ago, when Chen Moran gave her 2.3 million US dollars in cash and submitted a trick to her at the same time.
