Chapter 699: Zhangren

On the tenth day of November, in the third branch of Fanjiazhuang of Jinqi Bank, Gu Lao Er walked into the bank hall. Pen % fun % Pavilion www.biquge.info

Gu Lao Er came to save money, and this month, the rent of Liaodong Grange was settled, and Gu Lao Er got a huge sum of nearly 100 taels of banknotes at once. He did not dare to leave the money at home, for fear of being robbed, so he came to the bank to deposit money.

But as soon as Gu Lao Er walked into the bank hall, he found that the atmosphere was a little wrong. The bank was full of people, and it was full of people from Fanjiazhuang holding banknotes. Most of those people seem to be small traders in Fanjiazhuang, or helpers in restaurants and inns. One by one, they held up the banknotes in their hands and looked left and right, anxiously gathered in front of the bank counter.

It was the first time for Gu Lao Er to meet so many people in the bank, and he asked a middle-aged man curiously, "Why are you all looking at the banknotes?" ”

The middle-aged trader looked anxious, glanced at Gu Lao Er and said, "Brother, you don't know, there are a lot of counterfeit banknotes in the city. There were counterfeit banknotes in the south of the city, and there were also in the north of the city. There are already three people in our vegetable market who have received counterfeit banknotes, some of them are counterfeit bills, and some of them are one or two. Where can we, the petty fish-sellers, stand up to this counterfeit banknote? If you receive a penny, the day's income will be gone. If you receive a counterfeit bill of one tael, half a month will be in vain. ”

"We thought this money was too dangerous, we didn't need it, we had to exchange it for silver."

With a sad face, the vendor glanced at the teller and manager at the counter and said, "You don't know, the banks in the city are all crowded now. Not only the first branch, but also the second branch were full of money. The fourth and fifth branches are also full of people. I ran to three banks, and found that the queue was more than 300, and even if I waited in the evening, I couldn't change the silver. ”

"Everyone is worried that they won't be able to change the silver if they go late, the scene is like a robbery, and the third branch is the least crowded!"

Gu Lao Er looked at the anxious people around him in surprise, only to know that such a big thing had happened in the city. He looked at the money in his hand and couldn't help but get a little nervous. I don't want to receive counterfeit money myself.

In this way, this banknote is really not safe for silver.

However, before Gu Lao Er could get the queue number, he found that more people outside the door ran into the bank with banknotes. After taking the queue number, those people held up the banknotes in their hands and looked wildly, obviously afraid of receiving counterfeit banknotes, and took the banknotes to exchange for silver.

Gu Lao Er hurriedly went up to grab a queue number, but saw more and more people running in outside. Later, there were people of all professions, all of whom came to return banknotes for silver, and finally stood in the entire bank hall.

The people crowded in the bank hall were talking:

"It is said that the silk shop in the north of the city collected thirty-three taels of counterfeit bills at a time, and the owner was so angry that he closed his business and stopped doing business."

"I heard that a small fish seller in the east of the city was used with seven taels of counterfeit bills, and he was so angry that he collapsed on the road on the spot and had a seizure."

"How can this banknote be distinguished from the fake, it is said that the watermark pattern of the counterfeit banknote is exactly the same as the real one, but there is a problem with the code, only the bank staff can see the real and fake."

"Where can we, the common people, tell the truth from the fake? If you receive a counterfeit banknote, you will lose a lot. Or silver insurance! ”

"I've heard that some shops are refusing to accept banknotes! If this continues, will the banknotes become penniless like the treasure money of the year? ”

"If all the shops in the city refuse to accept money, it won't be worth much."

"I heard that the money in the bank is insufficient, and it can't be changed if it's too late!"

Gu Lao Er stood in the crowd and looked at the bank counter with some concern.

Gu Laoer is an old employee of the textile factory, and he has received much more favor from the Duke of Jin than the vendors in Fanjiazhuang over the years, and the angle of thinking about things is different from that of the vendors in the bank hall. Although he was also worried about receiving counterfeit banknotes, Gu Lao Er was also worried about Jin Guogong's bank.

So many people suddenly want to exchange all the banknotes for silver, wouldn't the banknotes of the Duke of Jin be abolished.

Not only banknotes are going to lose their effect, but even banks are going to have problems. Gu Lao Er heard that some of the silver was lent out as loan funds after entering the bank. In other words, the banks do not have enough money in stock, and it stands to reason that they cannot immediately exchange all the banknotes on the market for silver at any given time.

If all the people suddenly poured into the bank to exchange all the banknotes for silver, I am afraid that the bank of Jinguo Gong would soon run out of silver.

However, the more they understood this, the more people came to exchange the money, and they were afraid that they would not be able to exchange the money if they came too late.

Gu Lao Er frowned and looked at the counter of the bank.

The tellers at the counter were obviously in a state of emergency, and they were all a little panicked. Gu Lao Er knew about the problem of insufficient deposits, of course these bank employees knew. However, seeing that more and more people rushed into the hall to exchange money, it seemed that there was a great momentum to exchange all the bank money.

While the staff were panicking there, Cui Wending, the president of the third branch, came down the stairs.

The people all knew that the president of the third branch was the father-in-law of the Duke of Jinguo, and when they saw the president coming down, the people quieted down. The people of Fanjiazhuang didn't want to collapse Jinguogong's bank all at once, so they all looked at Cui Wending in a daze, to see what he could do.

Cui Wending was standing next to the manager of the bank hall, and it was obvious that Cui Wending had already known the ins and outs of the matter through this manager. He walked over to the counter and asked the clerk at the counter.

Then turning around, Cui Wending said something to the manager in the bank hall.

The manager nodded vigorously, stood on the counter and said to the people who came to exchange silver: "Don't panic, everyone, Cui Wending, the president of the third branch, announced that all counterfeit banknotes can be exchanged for silver in full in the third branch." ”

The hall manager said loudly: "As long as the people can't distinguish the authenticity of the fake money, the third branch will accept all of them!" Redeem in full! ”

Hearing this manager's words, Gu Lao Er took a breath and secretly said that this Cui Wending is really courageous, and he is worthy of being the father-in-law of Jin Guogong.

Without waiting for the people in the hall to talk, the bank's employees quickly made a sign with the third branch of the bank's policy of accepting all counterfeit banknotes written on the notice board and hung it at the door of the bank.

Then a clerk shouted, "Who received the counterfeit money?" You can come up directly to exchange silver without queuing, and you will be given priority! ”

Sure enough, after this set of combination punches, the faces of the people in the hall immediately changed.

They rushed over to exchange money because they were worried that the banknotes of the Duke of Jin would be rejected by others because of the counterfeit banknotes, and they were worried that the counterfeit banknotes would lose their value. But if the third branch is willing to eat all the counterfeit banknotes, the counterfeit money turmoil will not affect the interests of the people at all. The person who received the counterfeit money went to the third branch to exchange the money, and no one would refuse to accept the money.
