[Ai โ Shang โ Xiao โณ said ยง net .], wonderful free reading without pop-ups!
It wasn't until the next morning that the Edo Police Agency learned that the Edo Museum had been looted in addition to the Bank of Yotsubishi last night.
100,000 treasures from all over the world, including 11 national treasures, were taken away, and it is said that not even a piece of mud was left behind when the museum was stolen, which was cleaner than a dog licking.
When the news reached the Prime Minister's Office and the Royal Palace, Prime Minister Oda Kamero almost vomited to death without a mouthful of blood.
"Ding Yi, Ding Yi, it must have been Ding Yi who did it. โ
can do this kind of thing on this island, and do it unusually, who else but Ding Yi?
But there is no clue at all from the police department, no witnesses, no physical evidence, and Ding Yi still has an alibi.
He stayed in the hotel and didn't come out.
After the incident, the police department that came to the door was very smart, and they didn't ask Ding Yi when they asked, and if they did, they would be humiliated.
As long as people say that they don't come out of the room, you can't do anything about him.
So when Yoshino saw Ding Yi in the room, he immediately left honestly.
And this bank robbery is too big, and they are also asked to keep it secret.
Why keep it a secret?
Because of the huge losses this time, the head office of the island's largest bank was emptied.
This is something that has never happened in the history of the whole world.
There have been many bank robberies in history, but most of them were small branches, small banks, or not the most important banks, and the money had little impact on the bank.
If this kind of thing happened in the former Chinese Empire, the impact would not be very great.
In the old Chinese empire, the big banks were all state-owned, and if you robbed one of them, the government could deploy cash from another state-owned bank to deal with the crisis.
But now it's happening on the island, and the Bank of Mitsubishi is a consortium and private.
Not counting the gold of the head office, all the deposit reserves were looted, and according to later statistics, the total loss of cash was equivalent to 25 billion US dollars.
More than Ding Yi expected.
After the incident, the bank begged the National Police Agency to block the news, and at the same time transferred a large amount of cash from various parts of the Bank of Tsutsubishi.
But the paper was not hot, and it was known that the head office of the Bank of Tsutsubishi had been looted that night.
Early the next morning, before seven o'clock in the morning, an earth-shattering event occurred on the whole island.
In all cities, as long as there is a Mitsubishi Bank, the entrance of the Mitsubishi Bank is crowded with people.
Everyone has come to withdraw their deposits.
At the entrance of the head office that was robbed by Ding Yi, there was a queue of thousands of people early in the morning.
The non-state ownership of banks has emerged, and the state has no necessary obligation to bail out private banks.
This kind of thing would never have happened in the previous Chinese Empire.
But it is a regular occurrence in developed countries.
Everybody's coming to run.
Everyone is afraid that the bank will go bankrupt, and everyone is afraid that they will not be able to get their deposits back if they are too late.
And the news is constantly spreading throughout the island.
"The Bank of Mitsubishi has been robbed of more than 100 billion dollars, the treasury has been robbed, the loans sent out cannot be recovered, you don't withdraw money anymore, and you don't even have your deposits. โ
"The Bank of Sitsubishi is going bankrupt, and if you don't withdraw any more money, you won't even have any deposits. โ
The directors of the Bank of Mitsubishi did not expect this to happen, and they had planned to suppress the news and then transfer cash from other branches to deal with it.
Unexpectedly, the news spread like wings to all cities on the island overnight, and all branches of the Bank of Tsutsubishi were squeezed out of cash.
For a time, Mitsubishi Bank became anxious.
Do banks have money?
Banks, of course, are the richest sector.
But most of the money was lent out, and the reserve requirement was only 3%-18% of the deposit.
Suddenly so many people ran on it, and these reserves were almost exhausted in a day.
What the bank can do at this point is control.
Control the amount of runs on each person, on the one hand, through the government and through the government, to assure the people that there will be a large amount of cash replenishment in the future, and on the other hand, to control the amount of cash for all those who come to withdraw cash.
For example, each person can exchange 100,000 US dollars, so that everyone can get it.
But the more you do that, the more people are scared.
Bank failures in developed countries are a regular occurrence.
You're going bankrupt, and it's not like we can't get our money back.
For a time, there was a frenzy of withdrawals all over the island, and hundreds of people flocked to Mitsubishi Bank every day to ask for withdrawals.
This not only put a lot of pressure on the bank, but also made the local government feel like a big enemy, and a large number of police and military forces were even sent to maintain order.
The whole island became a mess.
--------------------------
Time back to the morning of the same day, the Prime Minister's Office.
Several cabinet ministers sat together with heavy faces, and no one expected that the bank, which ranked first in the world and had been established for hundreds of years, suddenly suffered a crisis of bankruptcy overnight.
"Who spread this news to the whole country? Didn't you say that it was kept secret? Ah, why did this happen?" Prime Minister Kamero Oda was furious and slapped the table.
"Prime Minister, as far as we know, it seems that the first word came out of the mouths of some black states, the branch of the Mitsubishi Bank in Kobe was the first to withdraw cash from the Shan Gou Group, and they withdrew more than 100 million US dollars for the first time, almost emptying the local bank, and by the time the bank received the news to control the withdrawal, it was too late, resulting in many people not being able to withdraw money. โ
"The Mountain Hook Group is really a bastard, and they also organized people to storm the bank, which almost caused an explosion, and I think they will be hit hard. โ
"These bastards, relying on the legalization of our country's black state, actually fell into the ground, and they didn't know how to protect our banks. โ
"If this bank is really robbed by Ding Yi, Ding Yi knows that he is afraid that he will die of laughter, internal coaxing has always been the tradition of the sick man of East Asia, and now we have domestic coaxing to make him laugh off his big teeth. โ
"Now even foreign branches of Mitsubishi Bank are queuing up to withdraw cash, and if we don't take measures, Mitsubishi Bank will really go bankrupt. โ
Ministers, you say everything you say, some people are energetic, some people are silent, and they don't care about anything.
Unlike the Chinese Empire, the banks of the island country belong to the major consortia, and the backstage of these cabinet ministers is also the major consortia.
For example, the Minister of Defense would be happy to see the Bank of Mitsubishi go bankrupt.
The consortium behind him also has a bank, which ranks second on the island, and has long hoped to surpass Mitsubishi Bank.
Oda Kameirou listened to the words of the crowd and looked up at the ministers.
Everyone's looks were seen by him, and he knew that these bastards were not in their hearts, and at this time, there were still people gloating, what is the difference between this and the sick man of East Asia?
"Ladies and gentlemen. Oda Kameirou stood up violently.
Brush, everyone stood up at the same time, their expressions were very respectful.
"Hundreds of years ago, the army of our Great Main Island Empire once went on an expedition to countless countries and defeated the giants of the world, if it weren't for the addition of country M, we could even dominate the Asia-Pacific region and become the most powerful country in the world. โ
The blood of the ministers boiled when they listened, and they seemed to see the scene of their iron horses across Europe and Asia in front of them.
"Why were we so strong? In addition to the fact that we are the best yellow people in the world, unity is our greatest weapon. โ
"There is a saying outside, a sick man in East Asia is a dragon, and ten sick men in East Asia will become ten worms, and one of us is a worm, and ten people together are one dragon. โ
"Unity and literacy are the invincible strength of our empire on the main island. โ
"You guys, do you understand what I'm talking about?" Oda Kamerou yelled.
"Prime Minister, I suggest that the state immediately start helping the Bank of Four-Ring, and I have investigated that the Bank of Four-Ring still has $5 trillion in deposits on its books around the world, and most of it has been released. Chancellor of the Exchequer Jun Watanabe said in a deep voice: "As long as we help them tide over this exchange difficulty, and when they recover their loans and stabilize people's hearts, they will still be the world's largest bank." โ
Jun Watanabe understood what Oda Kameiro meant, and supported Mitsubishi to tide over the crisis.
It embodies the national virtues of the empire of the main island, mutual self-help, unity and fraternity.
"Watanabe-kun said lightly, do you know how many people in the world are waiting to withdraw money now?" The Minister of Defense sneered: "Their current deposit reserves have been fully withdrawn, and we will have to invest at least hundreds of billions of dollars to reassure people's minds.
"I can guarantee that as soon as we vote for this bill, the opposition will immediately fight back, and we will all have to protect ourselves at that time. โ
Watanabe's face changed color: "I've probably calculated, it's almost 100 billion." โ
"We asked the government to come forward and interview the big savers, asking them not to withdraw large amounts of cash, and at the same time asking several other big banks, each to support 25 billion yuan to tide over the difficulties, so that there is no need for state financial support and no need to go through Congress. โ
"As long as those retail investors get their money, and then the major banks release the wind to support Sitsubishi Bank, they naturally believe that Sitsubishi will not fail, and the money withdrawal turmoil will soon subside. โ
Why do you think that other banks are willing to help you pay for it? Defense Minister Kazuhide Abe had to say something, and he saw Prime Minister Oda Kamero wave his hand.
"Okay, just do as you say. โ
"Kazuhito Inamoto, you are in charge of interviewing the big money withdrawals of the Mitsubishi Bank and warning them not to fall into the trap. โ
"Jun Watanabe, you are responsible for contacting the major banks and telling them that helping Sitsubishi today is equivalent to helping our entire island country, and we can't let outsiders see our country's jokes. โ
"I will meet the King of Heaven and let the King of Heaven come forward and appease the people. โ
Oda Kamerou issued orders one after another.
Report. "Just then, the police chief rushed in from outside, because he had received a new message that 100,000 precious artifacts had been stolen from the Edo Museum.
"Nani. Oda Kameirou was a little proud just now, and when he heard the news, he almost vomited a mouthful of blood and died in the office.
