Zuo Qingyun felt that the matter was not over yet, but the inventory was no longer enough. The most important thing in business was reputation. If it could not be fulfilled, Datonghui's reputation would be ruined. Zuo Qingyun weighed again and again and had to use some relationships that he didn't want to use, at least not now.
Zuo Qingyun's prediction was correct. In the afternoon, another wave of cashing frenzy broke out. With HSBC Bank fanning the flames, many people who did not know the truth came to cash in.
"Shopkeeper, what should I do? The three million taels of inventory that I just transferred are gone. The vault has been emptied, but there are still many people queuing outside. If they can't redeem it, the situation may get out of control..." The clerk panicked. Came to report.
Zuo Qingyun felt bitter in his heart. The three million taels he asked the Rongguo government to get couldn't last for half an hour. What should he do? There is simply no time to mobilize funds from other places.
The crisis at hand was the most sudden and violent storm that Datonghui had encountered since it opened. Zuo Qingyun waved his hand and asked the clerk to go out and withstand it, slowing down the speed of cashing out.
As soon as the waiter left, the man in black who had been standing aside with his head bowed said, "Young Master, why don't you just close the shop."
Zuo Qingyun looked solemn and shook his head. Can he be closed under the current situation
"What should we do?" His subordinates looked at the young master worriedly.
Zuo Qingyun paced back and forth with his hands behind his back. After a long time, he stopped and said, "Go to Prince Yu's Mansion and tell Prince Yu that you should get the money back first for emergency purposes. I will find a way to make up for it after the new year."
The man in black clasped his fists to accept the order and was about to retreat.
Zuo Qingyun added: "Be cautious. I suspect that someone is secretly watching our every move."
After the man in black left, Zuo Qingyun called another person and gave him these instructions in his ear.
The man nodded and retreated.
Half an hour later, several cartloads of wooden boxes arrived at Datonghui, and the guys were busy moving the boxes.
Zuo Qingyun, who rarely appeared in public, came out to speak.
"Everyone, I am the owner of Datonghui. Please listen to what Zuo has to say." Although Zuo Qingyun looks elegant, he is after all the owner of the first bank in the Huaisong Dynasty, and his other identity is to make all kinds of heroes The young leader of the Jiangzuo League is timid after hearing the news. Once his momentum breaks out, his pressure cannot be underestimated.
With just such a cool and cold word, and a simple glance, the originally turbulent crowd calmed down, and everyone looked at the young and mysterious head of Datonghui.
Zuo Qingyun said: "As the number one bank in the Huaisong Dynasty, Datonghui has focused most on credibility over the years. It has never defaulted on any payment. Moreover, Datonghui's interest rate is the highest among all banks. This is This is also the reason why everyone chooses Datonghui, but today it is a pity that because of some people’s malicious slander and incitement, many people who do not know the truth have followed suit. I don’t blame you. Business matters are meant to be amicable. Make money.”
"Here, let me make a statement. If you must cash in, please queue up patiently. No matter how much you want to withdraw, I will never owe you a single copper even if I sell it. Of course, this is an exaggeration. I just want to say Everyone understands that the reputation and reputation that Datonghui has accumulated over the years will never be lost today... If you are willing to believe in me, believe in Datonghui, and are willing to deposit money into our Datonghui again, I welcome it, and Datonghui will continue to do so. Everyone seeks the greatest welfare.”
After Zuo Qingyun said these words, he clasped his fists towards the crowd, turned around gracefully, and walked steadily into the store.
Some hesitated.
"I heard that Datonghui was going to go bankrupt, so I came to cash it in."
"Me too. I heard that Datonghui messed with the wrong people..."
"But from the look of the shopkeeper, it doesn't look like it's going to go bankrupt. Datonghui is the number one bank! If you have so much money, you can pile it up into a mountain. Look, so much money has been shipped here."
"I don't think it's possible either. Someone just said that HSBC Bank wanted to bring down Datonghui."
"I think we may really be confused. What I saved has a three-year death period. The interest rate is very high. If I withdraw it now, I have saved it for two years and it will be in vain."
Zuo Qingyun has been waiting for news, not knowing whether his plan will succeed.
King Yu only returned half of the money, and the other half had been spent. In other words, most of the boxes were filled with stones.
Therefore, I can't cope with it for long.
"Young Master, a few more cars have arrived. They were also sent by Prince Yu's Mansion. They said they would stay with us. Prince Yu said that there will be others coming later." His subordinates came in to report.
Zuo Qingyun's face was filled with joy. King Yu's move was good. Everyone came to cash in, so he came to give money.
"Be careful when you go out." Zuo Qingyun hurriedly ordered.
A well-dressed middle-aged man outside asked his men to open a box in front of everyone. The contents were neatly stacked, and the white money dazzled everyone.
The middle-aged man said: "Man, hurry up and take stock. I have something urgent."
The waiter said cheerfully: "Sir, just wait a moment, I'll do it for you right away."
Everyone moved in a dozen boxes of silver.
Someone began to mutter again: "People come to deposit money, but we have to risk losing interest to withdraw it. It's not cost-effective. Let's go and not withdraw it."
After a few people took the lead, everyone's determination began to waver and they left one after another.
In a short time, the team shrunk a lot.
Zhao Qixuan and Su Yi were drinking tea in a nearby teahouse and watching what was going on here.
"The boy named Zuo is quite capable, and he actually transferred so much silver." Zhao Qixuan said angrily.
Today, he, Ye Jiayao, and the people they mobilized have withdrawn almost a thousand taels of silver, and they haven't even emptied the bottom of Datonghui yet. It’s incredible. Which bank can have so much inventory? The bank's income lies entirely in using customers' money to make money, investing in business, or borrowing money at high interest rates. There is simply no way that the funds available for circulation are so huge.
Zhao Qixuan was puzzled.
Su Yi said leisurely: "Who knows if those boxes contain silver."
Zhao Qixuan was stunned: "You mean, it's fake?"
Su Yidao: "Look at that wealthy guy, why did he open the box in front of everyone? Isn't it too deliberate? However, I have to say, the effect is very good."
"Those who were muttering in the crowd and taking the lead to leave were obviously entrusted by Datonghui."
"The one named Zuo was also driven into panic and used all kinds of tricks." Su Yi sneered.
"I can confirm that Datonghui has been emptied by us."
Zhao Qixuan also became depressed: "It's a pity that we all have taken all the money we can. We originally hoped that these people who don't know the truth would take the opportunity to make trouble and become the last straw to overwhelm Datonghui. Now it seems that there is no chance!" They are not vegetarians either.”
Su Yi said slightly: "The results have been very good. This battle has also damaged Datonghui's vitality. At least, he will not be able to give much support to some people in the short term."
"That's right. Let him go first. When I become a wealthy businessman, I can have some fun with him." Zhao Qixuan snorted.
The storm finally subsided.
Zuo Qingyun took stock of the losses and was extremely depressed. After all, the four million taels he signed out were all caused by the trouble. Ye Jinxuan, this woman, was too cruel.
Zuo Qingyun was depressed, and King Yu was even more depressed.
His plans and deployments were completely disrupted by the crisis at Datonghui and had to be suspended.
Thinking that the culprit of this incident was the woman he loved, King Yu wanted to vomit blood.
She completely ended her love for Lin. Such a stupid woman was not worthy of being his woman, let alone his queen in the future.
Ms. Lin still hadn't realized what an unforgivable mistake she had made. She was still planning the next step unwillingly, and called a few close friends to secretly discuss countermeasures.
Ye Jiayao only found out about Datonghui's situation at night. Although she failed to bring down Datonghui in the end and brought Datonghui into disrepute, it was still a heavy blow to Datonghui.
Let’s ignore this matter for the time being, as we have a long time to come!
It is more important for everyone to spend the New Year safely.
The imperial court has already issued various prohibitions, such as not setting off firecrackers on New Year's Eve. It was said that the Queen Mother was most afraid of the noise of firecrackers during her lifetime and wanted the Queen Mother to go quietly.
For example, banquets for guests are not allowed, and a series of entertainment activities such as setting up a stage for singing and opera are not allowed.
Therefore, I spent this New Year very peacefully, my ears were purified, I visited less relatives and friends, and eating and drinking was not tiring anymore. Everyone treats it as a time to cultivate health and recuperate, and this year can be considered over.
Xia Chunyu was once again promoted to the rank of first-class bodyguard because of his success in suppressing the bandits. You were very happy. After all, this was an honor that his son had earned with his life, but both Ye Jiayao and Chunyu looked down upon it.
The title of an official is not a matter of a word from the emperor.
When you are happy, you will be upgraded to three levels in a row. If you are unhappy, you will be wiped out. The ups and downs really don't have to be taken so seriously. The most important thing is to be a harmonious family.
During the entire Chinese New Year, Xia Chunyu didn't go out much. He stayed at home with Ye Jiayao and teased Bao'er every day. He had thought that if Yaoyao's health could not get better, he would treat Bao'er as his daughter, so he loved Bao'er very much. , not even comparable to my nephew.
Of course, what he is most concerned about is the poison in Ye Jiayao's body. Although Ye Jiayao is very conscious about taking medicine, taking a bath is not enough. Dr. Jiang said that the higher the water temperature, the better.
Xia Chunyu personally tested the water temperature every time and found it tolerable before letting Ye Jiayao enter the water.
But how could Ye Jiayao's delicate skin be compared to Xia Chunyu's copper skin and iron bones? Every time I entered the bathtub, I was like a crab struggling in the boiling water. It tried desperately to crawl out, but Xia Chunyu pushed it back again.
"Be patient, I personally asked Dr. Jiang that the water temperature required is only five times in half a month. You have already insisted on it twice, and three more times is enough." Xia Chunyu persuaded her kindly.
Ye Jiayao's face dropped, and she kept looking for a way to break out. She said pitifully: "I'll be cooked in three more times."
Seeing her embarrassment, Xia Chunyu couldn't help laughing: "I think the more you soak, the better your skin tone will be. Be good, and if you bear with it, it won't be hot in a while."
"I can't bear it, I can't bear it..." Ye Jiayao cried.
In order to comfort his beloved wife and show the couple's determination to share the joys and sorrows, Xia Chunyu finally had no choice but to climb in and do some exercises... Well, it would help open the pores and better absorb the medicinal properties.
