Chapter 1031: Twenty-Seven Years of Old Passbook

Tang Haotian had a sense of accomplishment after doing this, because Long Xiao was not involved in this matter, but he was doing it with the secretary, which was all promoted by the municipal government, Tang Haotian was a little proud, and felt that after leaving the municipal party committee, he could also do good things for the people, Tang Haotian was not only a little complacent.

On this day, I came to Long Xiao's office to see what Long Xiao was doing. But seeing Long Xiao smoking a cigar and drinking tea, Tang Haotian: "Secretary Long, it's difficult to be idle", Long Xiao saw Tang Haotian come in, and said happily: "Mayor Tang, come, sit, drink tea", Long Xiao poured a cup for Tang Haotian and handed it to Tang Haotian, Tang Haotian took it and took a sip: "Good tea, Secretary Long, what needs to be done recently?" ”。

Long Xiao smiled and said: "Recently, the municipal government is good, it has done a good thing for the people of the capital, I think it is very good, our municipal party committee and municipal government must be willing to do small things, willing to do things that the people like, and our government will be qualified." Tang Haotian saw Long Xiao praising himself, and he was not only happy in his heart: "Haha, Secretary Long, I just did a little thing, you know, it's not enough to worry about."

Long Xiao: "The people's affairs are major events, we are doing things for the people, you see, today's newspaper has published a thing, I think it is necessary to take care of it." Tang Haotian was stunned: "What's the matter?" Long Xiao handed a newspaper: "Take a look at it yourself." Tang Haotian took it and looked at it carefully, it turned out to be like this, please:

An old citizen of Beijing deposited a passbook in the bank 27 years ago, the deposit amount was 1,000 yuan, and the bank promised that as long as the deposit was enough for 25 years, he could withdraw 200,000 yuan, but recently he went to the bank to withdraw money, and the bank only gave 5,000 yuan.

Tang Haotian understood after reading it: "This bank is bullying people, the bank had an agreement at the beginning, as long as the deposit is enough for 25 years, it will give 200,000 yuan, but now it is only 5,000 yuan, which is clearly a violation of the original agreement, I think it is necessary to intervene." Long Xiao: "Our country's banks have always been overlord clauses, whether it is depositing or borrowing money, they don't consider the interests of the people at all, what is the use of such a bank?" It's basically a looting of the people's fat and ointment, is this matter handled by your municipal government, or will I deal with it? ”。

Tang Haotian hurriedly said: "Secretary Long, you have a lot of things, let me deal with it, I will find the parties now and understand some actual situations." Tang Haotian returned to his office, found the same newspaper, looked at it carefully, and found the secretary in: "Xiaohu, you go and find out this party, it's best to invite him to my office."

Xiaohu took the newspaper, and when he saw that it was the Beijing Daily, he understood, so he came to the Beijing Daily office and found the editor-in-chief of the newspaper: "Editor-in-chief Li, I want to find this person, do you have his contact information?" Editor-in-chief Li saw that he had been interviewed by his own newspaper, and it was generally recorded and easy to find, so he gave Hu Rongyuan the address and phone number of that person.

Hu Rongyuan took the address and found Li Pushi, the owner of the 27-year-old passbook. After Li Pushi understood Hu Rongyuan's intention, he was about to cry with gratitude, and told the experience of his deposit: it was 27 years ago, he was still an ordinary teacher, and his salary was only 315 yuan, and 1000 yuan wanted to be used as a salary for three years.

At that time, the house was not worth much, Li Pushi believed in the bank's words, so he deposited 1,000 yuan in the bank, and the bank gave a passbook at that time, on the back of the passbook, clearly wrote the annual interest, and the 25-year interest was 200,000 yuan, but now he wants to withdraw cash, only 5,000 yuan, Li Pushi did not withdraw the money, but reflected this matter to the newspaper, hoping that the media would give a word, appeal to the bank, and let the bank fulfill its promise that year.

Hu Rongyuan asked Li Pushi: "Uncle Li, do you want to get this money back?" Li Pushi: "Of course I thought about it, what can I do?" Hu Rongyuan told him that the current mayor has paid great attention to this matter and hopes that Li Pushi will go to the city and talk to the mayor. Hu Rongyuan took Li Pushi to Tang Haotian's office. It was the first time for Li Pushi to see such a big leader, and he was a little worried: "You are Mayor Tang, you are such a big leader, and you still care about my little thing, why is this?" ”。

Tang Haotian saw that Li Pushi was a little unconvinced, so he explained with a smile: "Mr. Li, please do this thing, not only am I interested, but Secretary Long of the Municipal Party Committee is also very interested, so entrust me to deal with it for you, are you willing?" ”。 Li Pushi was also afraid of being deceived, so he asked: "Mayor Tang, it's not that I don't believe you, I'm really scared of being deceived by the public, what does the city need me to do?" I don't have anything, I don't have any money, if I want to take money, I don't have anything."

Tang Haotian is a burst of bitterness, the current people are really pitiful, they are still treated like this after being wronged, it is really unreasonable. Tang Haotian asked: "Uncle, we will take care of your matter, but if you need to fight a lawsuit, you need to use the law to get back the money that belongs to you, you just need to sign a power of attorney, you don't need to spend a penny, as long as you agree."

Li Pushi asked: "I really don't need to take a penny?" Tang Haotian patiently explained to him, the old man finally believed it, so he handed over the passbook to Tang Haotian, and wrote a power of attorney, Tang Haotian asked the secretary Hu Rongyuan to write a receipt for Li Pushi, and also stamped the big seal of the municipal government, and the old man went back happily.

Tang Haotian naturally did not go to court in person, but asked the secretary to find a lawyer and sued the bank to the court with a complaint. At first, the bank did not accept the offer, but later saw that it was the city government that came forward, so it had no choice but to respond to the lawsuit, and started a lawsuit with the representative of the city government.

The bank's reasons are also sufficient, and it has taken out a lot of previous practices, including its own bank and other banks, anyway, it is a case of Huaxia Bank dealing with similar things, but the lawyer does not say so, the law is the law, the practice is just the practice, and the bank promised Li Pushi that the interest of 200,000 yuan is 200,000 yuan, and there is no room for the slightest sloppiness. At the same time, the lawyer proposed 200,000 yuan for Li Pushi's mental damages, plus the money for hiring a lawyer, plus the transportation and horse expenses, a total of 450,000 yuan.

The bank was dumbfounded, the bank was not short of money, but there were a lot of previous passbooks, adding up to hundreds of millions, if they were all according to the previous interest, the bank would lose more money, and the bank would not want to fight a lawsuit, and settle it privately, as long as Li Pushi's lawyer was willing, the bank could take out an extra 150,000 yuan, that is, 600,000 yuan as compensation, on the condition that Li Pushi would withdraw the lawsuit.

The lawyer couldn't make the decision and asked Tang Haotian, Tang Haotian was stunned, the patient didn't expect this question, so he asked Long Xiao, but Long Xiao didn't think so. Long Xiao's original intention was very simple, that is, through Li Pushi's case, it would attract the attention of the banking circles across the country, and it was not only Li Pushi's problem. Because this problem is very common and requires the banks of the whole society to stop deceiving the people of China, Long Xiao wants this effect, so he categorically rejected the bank's request to solve it privately.

The result is very easy to imagine, the bank lost the lawsuit and took out 450,000 yuan to compensate Li Pushi, and Li Pushi paid the lawyer's fees and left 400,000 yuan, which was also unexpected. told the media about his own experience, and the media exaggerated it, and the people of the whole Chinese people knew about it. All those who had deposits in the past were taken out one after another, and they all demanded that they be paid according to the previous interest rate when they withdrew money from the banks, and for a time there was a wave of crusade against banks in the whole country.

Because other people have Li Pushi's case as a basis, as long as the bank is unwilling to pay, they have taken up the weapon of the law and sued the bank, and the bank can only lose the lawsuit. What Li Pushi didn't expect was that in his later years, he became a celebrity, and many private banks used Li Pushi as their image ambassador to attract customers and absorb deposits, and Li Pushi could also get an endorsement fee of 1 million yuan a year, which he didn't expect.
