These days, Xuzhou City is really like a boiling soup, and people are panicked.

As expected, on the second day of the run, the shopkeeper of Song came to Jiangnan Bank to continue the exchange, and applied for a withdrawal of a full one million taels in the morning!

In the afternoon, I don't know if it was because of the news of the run, the people of Xuzhou City flocked to ask for silver coupons.

The hall of Jiangnan Bank was crowded with people, and it was almost crowded!

This scene disgusted the bank employees to death. A few days ago, the scene of the silver number pawnshops on the South Gate Street sticking money to buy silver tickets is still vivid. Even the silver tickets of Jiangnan Bank have been empty for several days, how many are left in the hands of the people?

Now in the hall, these so-called people with red faces and red ears and shouting loudly for the return of the money, it is conceivable where they came from.

It's the trust that those money banks invited to make trouble!

"Phew, disgusting!" The tellers were furious.

"Give it to them." Governor Jiang did not allow his subordinates to act aggressively. The silver ticket is bearer, even if it is a dog in front of the counter, Jiangnan Bank has to pay the ticket at sight.

The tellers had no choice but to hold back their anger and begin to check the money. The method of checking the banknote is very simple, and you don't even need to bother to see the details of ink and printing, you only need to rub the silver ticket in your hand, pull it, and the unique feeling that cannot be torn is enough to make all forgers sigh.

As long as the real money is correct, the official will be paid on the spot, and the money is not bad!

~~

Opposite, the second floor of Hengtongji.

The shopkeeper of Song was still standing in front of the window, looking at the people he had arranged, carrying bulging blankets, and ants were moving out.

Song Cai held a teacup and towel for him, and said with a sneer: "Jiangnan Bank is arrogant and naïve, so one can pay at sight, isn't this death?" ”

"Pay if you don't see the ticket, why do people treat the paper you printed as money?" The shopkeeper of Song Da glanced at this cousin of the same sect like an idiot.

"What the younger brother means is that the eldest brother is a big chess player and grabs their loophole to strike a fatal blow." Seeing that the horse's fart slapped on the hoof, Song Cai hurriedly changed his words in embarrassment: "More than two million taels of silver tickets are squeezed together, and this hand alone can squeeze them down!" ”

"Not necessarily." Song Xiaoming shook his head and said: "Their silver tickets are still in the market stage, and at this time, they should be cautious to reserve enough silver." ”

"I asked people to run on Jiangnan Bank with silver bills, first, to consume their deposit bank, so that they could not embezzle this piece of reserve silver. The second is to create panic so that they can't get through with a silver ticket. After a pause, he said quietly:

"But the silver ticket is a good thing, and when this one passes, no matter how much it costs, we will also have to issue Hengtong silver tickets."

When he said this, the shopkeeper of Song kept staring at the gold-lettered signboard of 'Jiangnan Bank'.

In fact, he has no lack of appreciation, envy and even jealousy for Jiangnan Bank, a rising star. Since sitting on the top spot in Qianzhuangye, Song Xiaoming has been complacent, but also has been thinking hard, how to continue to make Hengtongji bigger and stronger, and create more brilliance?

The shopkeeper of Song Da knew very well that the current state was definitely not the end of this business, but he couldn't figure out how to break the situation.

It wasn't until Jiangnan Bank rose like a comet with a strong posture that swept everything, and the shopkeeper of Song understood from this opponent that what Jiangnan Bank did was the answer he was looking for.

If you want to make a qualitative leap in the money industry and become a dominant existence, you must take the road of Jiangnan Bank!

But the pride of the leading boss makes Hengtongji unable to worship a rising star as a teacher. So he can only choose to destroy this throne challenger and go down the other party's path.

'So, you'd better die quickly, and don't delay my business.' The shopkeeper of Song said silently, and finally withdrew his gaze from the signboard of 'Jiangnan Bank', turned around and left the window.

~~

As expected by the shopkeeper of Song University, because the credit of silver coupons has not yet been established, Jiang Xueying has always asked branches around the country to resolutely implement the rules and regulations of 'silver in and out, and special funds for special use'.

That is to say, the amount of silver issued by the bank must be specially prepared in the treasury, and it is strictly forbidden to divert the prepared silver for other purposes.

The vice president of risk control is in charge of this matter, and even the president does not want to violate the regulations.

Therefore, the Xuzhou branch has enough silver to pay for the influx of silver bills.

However, when the citizens heard that the wind was raining, they also took out their own tickets and silver bills one after another, and followed the trend to the Jiangnan Bank to run on the run.

This made the situation of the Xuzhou branch look very stormy, but President Jiang and his subordinates showed tenacious tenacity. For four days, they opened the door on time every day, and those who came did not refuse to cash in cash and handle foreign exchange business, without the slightest intention of closing the door and running away.

It also made those bosses of various money houses who were secretly ambushing good people and preparing to arrest them feel disappointed.

At this time, the news of Jiangnan Group's countermeasures against Hengtongji in the ten provinces of Jiangnan also spread to Xuzhou through the carrier pigeon system of various banks.

The bosses of the money bank were all frightened when they heard the news. Compared with Jiangnan Bank's high interest rate of two or three times and the crazy absorption of Hengtong deposits, what they are more afraid of is that Jiangnan Group's move reveals its determination to repay and never die.

It is said that Jiangnan Bank suffered this slap, and it should first hold its head and ask for peace. If you want to take revenge, you have to wait until you get past this level and slow down, right?

How can you pounce on it with a brick covered in blood? Is this Jiangnan Bank crazy, or is it not taking their attacks seriously at all?

It seems that no matter which one it is, it is not something that these small characters can withstand......

The bosses panicked, and hurriedly came to Hengtongji, asking to see the shopkeeper of Song Da, and wanted to ask him what he thought of Jiangnan Bank's countermeasures?

"What do you think? Normal. Song Xiaoming was very calm, and he comforted the bosses and said: "Jiangnan Bank just wants to play the trick of encircling Wei to save Zhao." Don't worry, our Hengtongji inventory is very full, and we are not afraid that they will follow suit. ”

"Yes, we'll see it in the past two days, why are you so breathless?" Song Cai also said angrily: "Starting tomorrow, they will have to pay the silver." Can you take out the one million taels in the first day? ”

"That's right, everyone can wait for two more days." When the bosses heard this, they were a little relieved, and they thought about it, as long as the Jiangnan Bank in Xuzhou collapsed, everyone's life would be better. It doesn't matter if he is dead or alive in Jiangnan's Hengtongji.

Song Cai said a few more words and sent away the bosses.

When he turned back, he saw the shopkeeper Song pacing upstairs with his hands behind his back, and he no longer looked calm.

"Uncle, are you worried about Jiangnan?" Song Cai hurriedly brought him a cup of tea.

In fact, they didn't tell the truth to those money owners. Jiangnan Hengtongji's current inventory of silver is actually not sufficient - where did the five million taels deposited in Jiangnan Bank come from? It was brought out of the inventory silver of Hengtongji!

"It's not." Song Xiaoming shook his head.

Hengtongji's nest is in Huai'an, and the canal from Huai'an to Jiangnan has not been broken. As soon as he received an emergency from Jiangnan, he immediately ordered the Huai'an General Number to transfer five million taels of silver to Suzhou, Nanjing and other places, which should be enough to deal with the situation in Jiangnan.

What made him feel uneasy was the reaction of the Xuzhou semicolon, which was too stable. They seemed to have only panicked for the first two days, and then they quickly regained their composure, and everything went according to plan, as if they did not remember at all, that tomorrow they would start to pay money in millions of taels.

"Could it be that they found the silver elsewhere?" The shopkeeper of Song thought of a possibility.

"Impossible." Song Cai shook his head and said: "We are all staring at those branches in Shandong, and we haven't done anything until now." Besides, they themselves are difficult to protect, where can they find the silver Zhouji Xuzhou Branch? ”

"Hmm." Song Xiaoming nodded blankly, of course he knew these things. And for the sake of insurance, he even asked the Caoyun General Military Office to temporarily block the Xiazhen gate on Weishan Lake, not allowing any civilian ships to enter Xuzhou, which is said to be foolproof.

That's why he wondered, where did the other party get the confidence?

I couldn't think through this problem, and the shopkeeper of Song Da had insomnia.

That night, he was tossing and turning in bed and spreading pancakes when he heard the noise of horses neighing and cows in the street.

As if there was a sense, Song Xiaoming sat up immediately. The maid hurriedly lit the lamp, and as soon as he put on his shoes, he heard the sound of pedaling up the stairwell sound.

The shopkeeper Song felt even more bad now, so he was busy calming down and asked in a deep voice, "What's going on on the street?" ”

"Uncle, it's the convoy of Jiangnan Bank......" Song Cai's voice changed because of fear: "It was said that a fleet came from the official ship wharf, Jiang Dou took most of the guys and drove the car to pick up the ship, and all the unloaded were silver boxes!" ”

"Where's the fleet?" Song Xiaoming's hair exploded, and he no longer nested upstairs, so he took three steps and went downstairs in two steps.

"Jining." Song Cai almost collided with him, and quickly stepped aside.

"How did they get through the gates?" Shopkeeper Song asked in disbelief.

"They use the boat ...... of the river yamen," Song Cai replied with difficulty: "Under the banner of Pan Jitao, the gate does not dare to stop it." ”

"Ahh Isn't that a cheat? How can you use the government's ship? When Song Xiaoming heard this, the blood in his whole body seemed to have coagulated. He did a lot of calculations, but he didn't expect that the River Yamen would openly help Jiangnan Bank deal with him.

Although he knew that Pan Jitao and Zhao Hao had a good relationship, but he offended the Caoyun Yamen, did he, the prime minister of the river, still want to repair the Yellow River?

Now is not the time to think about this, he forced himself to freeze and said: "It doesn't matter, even if the silver of the four branches in Shandong is emptied, it will be three million taels at most." Still not enough! ”

In the past few days, the shopkeeper of Song University has done a total of five million taels of exchange in the Xuzhou branch. Coupled with the shots of various money banks, as well as the following trend, the payment pressure of the Xuzhou branch of Jiangnan Bank has come to a huge 7 million taels!

Half of it is still missing!

"Fortunately, Uncle Botu also used all his strength, otherwise he would have let them get mixed up this time." Song Cai also calmed down and wiped his sweat happily.

"......" Song Xiaoming didn't speak, because he realized how stupid he was.
