Chapter 738: Fulcrum

Views:

President Bellito was a branch president of Southern Commercial Bank. He and Julio used to live in the same city. At that time, the relationship between Julio and Bellito was very good. The game methods of capital in southern cities are not only the professional skills of businessmen, but are also well known by government officials and banks. Someone once commented on the officials of the Southern Department, saying that they know better than businessmen how to make good use of their advantages to make more partners, work together from multiple aspects and fields, and achieve urban economic success.

This is a more civilized and implicit statement. If it is more blunt and rude, it means that the Southerners are very good at collusion between government and business.

The city hall uses businessmen to transfer risks, and businessmen use banks' capital savings to expand profits. Banks obtain stable interest through lending while also deepening their cooperative relationship with the government. This is like a stable iron triangle, no one can live without the other, and everyone has long formed a set of unknown gameplay. Therefore, Julio had a good relationship with Bellito, the president of the Southern Commercial Bank where he was working at the time, and they had cooperated many times.

Before sending Jason away, Jason just vaguely shirked his responsibility. He believed that a more authoritative person or organization was needed to solve the current trouble. In fact, the purpose of this sentence was to build momentum for Dulin, and It was because he wanted to praise Du Lin that he came up with this idea. In his eyes, Dulin is a very authoritative person. Now give Bellito a vaccination. After the situation continues to deteriorate for a period of time, Dulin will take advantage of the situation and take the current rotten apples into his basin. It’s much more convenient and more reasonable.

But Jason ignored two issues. First, this was his own decision. He decided to say this without saying hello to Dulin. If he greeted Du Lin and told Du Lin what he was going to say, Du Lin would never let him say such stupid and retarded words. The unique social environment and economic ecosystem in the South have created many rich people in the new era. Most of these rich people made their fortunes through thrilling capital methods, and some of them were somewhat illegal.

They know the game of money very well, and many of the capital rules are even formulated by them. In such an environment, Julio was very knowledgeable and familiar with the methods of capital under his influence. Once he finds the fulcrum, he can easily resolve the crisis at hand. In fact, whether there is a strike or a commotion, in the final analysis it is still about money.

The city hall cannot come up with money to solve the current troubles, and the people who participated in the three-guarantee policy do not mind accepting the expected loss. However, if someone with enough strength steps forward to mediate, this matter will be easily settled. .

Secondly, this was Jason's subconscious hedging move. Dulin asked him to contact workers' representatives to launch this massive super strike that covered the entire western region. Once things get out of control, it is likely to cause extremely horrific damage and influence. At that time, he will definitely be betrayed by the workers' representatives. Then he needs to have some means of self-protection at this time. He can tell Julio that he actually reminded him in the meeting many days ago that someone was behind all this, but Julio was "arrogant" His reminders were ignored, so he shouldn't take too much responsibility.

But Jason could never have imagined that he would actually ruin Dulin's plan and point out a direction for Julio!

Bellito was dining at this moment, entertaining some very special guests, local super-rich people. Bank presidents and wealthy people are always the closest couple. No matter how harsh the policies above are, they cannot destroy the relationship between the two. If the caller wasn't Julio, Bellito wouldn't answer the call at all.

"I'm very sorry, I have an important phone call, so I'll excuse you for a while!" Bellito wiped the grease on his mouth, bowed slightly to apologize, and walked directly to the study.

He closed the door and picked up the phone. His calm facial expression suddenly became enthusiastic, and even his tone was filled with a kind of surprise after a long absence. "Mr. Mayor, why did you have time to call me today? I thought this call The phone call will take at least half a month," he said and laughed.

With the solution, Julio became a lot more relaxed, "I invited you to come with me when I left, but you didn't want to, otherwise we should sit face to face now instead of communicating through the phone line. "

"I'm more familiar with that place in the west than you are, and our set of game rules won't work there. Even if I go there, I'll have to come back soon, so why not just wait for your call? I believe this should be good news. !”

The poverty, backwardness and conservatism of the west prevented the Southern Commercial Bank from operating there. The Southern Commercial Bank was a joint bank established mainly by southern bankers. In the early days, these bankers worked independently, and there were private banks in the east and the west. spread throughout the South and was not reorganized into the present Southern Commercial Bank. Later, the Imperial Bank became aware of the dangers posed by these bankers—local support for local banks was much greater than that of the Imperial Bank, because the owners of local banks were locals.

Sometimes some things that seem troublesome to the Imperial Bank can be easily solved by local banks. Coupled with the social relations that can never be shaken off in society, local banks have quietly risen. For this reason, the Imperial Bank began to suppress these small banks. Their method was also very simple, that is, to hurt others with their own capital. Injuring others with your own knowledge is always the favorite thing for businessmen to do, because this method does not have any technical content, has a high success rate and low risk rate, and is deeply loved by businessmen.

The so-called hurting others with your own capital is to use sufficient funds to press forward step by step, and finally let the enemy destroy you. This method sounds a bit complicated, but it is actually very simple. Take gambling as an example. There are 100 million chips stacked in front of A, and one dollar of chips stacked in front of B. There is an ante bet in each round of poker, and in each round A bets according to the total amount of B's table. For A, it doesn't matter how many times he loses. The loss will always be within his tolerance. But for B, no matter how many times he wins, as long as he loses once, all the money on the table will become A's.

At the same time, the pressure on B in such a poker game requires him to be extremely careful every step he takes. He obviously has a great chance of winning, but as long as the chance of winning does not reach 100%, he does not dare to gamble easily. In repeated attempts, either he lost all his money and left in embarrassment because of a wrong bet, or he lost everything due to forced bottom bets.

The same was true for the Imperial Central Bank at that time. They despicably used their strength as the largest economy in the Empire to secretly let people store large amounts of deposits in these private banks, and then proactively tightened interest rates to allow more money to be available in the market. flow up. When the intelligence they collected was enough to support their actions, they went to look for banks that had just invested large sums of money in a certain area and asked for cash. As we all know, at most one-third of depositors' money is stored in banks as reserve deposits, and the rest is used to make profits through lending or investment. This is also the main means for banks to make profits.

But when the sudden trend of redemptions and rumors in the society prevent them from honoring depositors' withdrawal requests, disaster will strike.

All behaviors in business have nothing to do with morality. Good friends in the past will step on them, and those partners will also step on them. These private banks have no other option but to declare bankruptcy and liquidate. Some even revealed some outrageous and frightening news, saying that the Imperial Bank took the initiative to deploy in the south, attracting investment from private banks with short- and medium-term projects with low risk and quick returns. As long as they poured money into it, the Imperial Bank would immediately Launch a run offensive to bankrupt these private banks.

In such a general environment, these southern bankers have felt the terror offensive from the old imperial central bank. In order to stay together for warmth, they formed a loose banking alliance, and then reorganized into the Southern Commercial Bank, and with a high degree of The freedom and negotiable rules have been unanimously praised by businessmen, and they have gradually gained a firm foothold. In the south, they have the power to compete with the Imperial Bank of China. In fact, the fourth largest shareholder of Southern Commercial Bank is the Imperial Bank of China. The Chairman of the Imperial Bank of China will Two of the seats are directors of Southern Commercial Bank.

Everyone has been in contact for a long time, but they have attacked each other to ensure that the competitive relationship will always exist. Therefore, continuous reforms maintain their competitiveness and combat effectiveness.

Bellito is a member of the board of directors of Southern Commercial Bank. He was also a banker earlier and had his own private bank.

This is a banker who has a very open concept and keeps up with the times. This is why he is unwilling to go to the west. It was not only the territory of the Imperial Central Bank, but also a backwater, with no soil for an active banker like him to survive.

Julio chuckled a few times, "This is indeed very good news. Do you know the three guarantees policy that Memnon implemented previously?"

"Of course I know, what happened to the whimsical dream of an uneducated horse dealer?"

Julio told Bellito what was happening to him now, and Bellito took two breaths in total.

The first breath of cold air was that I was shocked that Memnon had quietly absorbed nearly 100 million yuan in funds from the private sector. The quarterly business reports of the Imperial Bank of China were not a secret in the banking industry. There was no fluctuation at all in the western business, even There is significant growth every quarter. Under such circumstances, Memnon was able to absorb such a large amount of money, which shows how terrifying the three-guarantee policy is.

As for the second breath he took, he was amazed at Julio's unconstrained ideas.

"Old man, I have to say this is crazy, but I like it!" Bellito tore his collar, gasped and asked the butler to bring him a glass of wine with ice cubes. He needed to have a good time with Hu Li. Oh, let’s have a chat.
