Chapter 1131: Abandoning the Gold Standard

Although he has not fiddled with money for many years and has faded out of the rivers and lakes, Xiao Guanyin's shot is still accurate and sharp, killing him with one sword!

A few years earlier, Wang Ning'an had pushed for a request for the imperial court to take a stake in the bank and play a role in supervising the operation of the bank.

It is a pity that Sima Guang did not continue to insist, but instead adopted the strategy of supporting the bank's listing, reducing the imperial court's shareholding, which was equivalent to handing over the bank.

It's just that Sima Guang didn't expect that his actions would harm the bank's shareholders and show their most vulnerable side!

Listing a bank would mean financial turmoil, which would not only undermine the prestige of the imperial court, but also harm oneself...... No, bank stocks have fallen as a whole, and they are all the way to the kind that can't be stopped.

Of course, many retail investors are frightened, irrational, and frantically sell stocks, so that the stock price continues to fall wildly.

If no one makes a move, when the wind calms down, and the major shareholders quietly take it back, the control ability of the financial group will be greatly strengthened, but unfortunately, they met Xiao Guanyin.

This financial wizard decisively grabbed the bank stocks before everyone else, and suddenly won the initiative.

Xiao Guanyin didn't have eyebrows and mustaches to grab, she just targeted a few key banks, among which the savings bank was the top priority, Zeng Bu was so tough, thanks to the credit of Shi Niang!

"All the shares held by the imperial court together have accounted for 73 percent, and now the official requires that a shareholders' meeting be held immediately to discuss the next step of the Great Song Savings Bank!"

Li Bu was dumbfounded when he heard it, a bunch of forbidden troops, loaded with guns and ammunition, Zeng Bu held a gun in one hand and a share in the other, no matter how you look at it, they all look like they are going to kill people, who dares to come!

"Zeng Xianggong, you see ......"

"Don't talk nonsense!"

Zeng Bu didn't care and said: "They can come or not, just wait for the result at home." ”

Li Bu fainted again, not to be so bullying.

He had no choice but to contact the shareholders in Beijing, and everyone gathered in the living room of the savings bank, these people were nervous, but they were indignant, and no one knew what would greet them?

The old god Zeng Bu was there, he drank a pot of tea, ate a few pieces of dim sum, and then came out slowly.

"Financial turmoil, bank runs...... In order to eliminate the crisis, the imperial court decided to take the bank under the ownership of the imperial court and concentrate its efforts to tide over the crisis. As the biggest agitation, the official fully supports the decision of the imperial court, and if you have anything to say, just talk about it! ”

What else to talk about?

These guys are going crazy.

You are both the head of the household department and the largest shareholder of the savings bank, we are all meat on the chopping board, and we can cut it as much as we want, what can we say?

"Zeng Xianggong, the meaning of the imperial court, of course we can't disobey, but after all, we have shares in the bank, how to deal with it, please make it public."

Zeng Bu smiled and said old-fashionedly: "I finally said a human word!" ”

Dare we all fart just now!

These shareholders dare not speak out.

"That's right, you can continue to stay in the bank, but the imperial court will take over all the management and operation, and you can only enjoy dividends...... Of course, you can also choose to leave, we will redeem the shares according to the market price, where to go, you can discuss it yourself! ”

After finishing speaking, Zeng Bu waved his hand and asked people to take them to the cross-courtyard next to them, and let them discuss it by themselves. Zengbu has more to do.

After all, taking over a bank, especially when there is a long crowd outside, how to deal with it, how to resolve the chaos, really need to think about it.

Zeng Bu arranged it in an orderly manner, but there was a lot of noise in the courtyard.

As shareholders of the savings bank, they are not too far from the core of the financial group.

In the past, these people were bent on opposing Wang Ningan.

But when the knife came down and was about to fall on them, the gang hesitated again.

Everyone quickly split into two camps.

One side believes that it is more important than anything else to make compromises and keep the shares.

But the other faction strongly opposed!

What do they control the bank for, not that pitiful dividend, they want to control the flow of money, and through strong capital, they want to control the fate of everyone.

But Zeng Bu has already made his attitude clear.

It's okay to keep shares, it's okay to pay dividends, I'm sorry, the bank's management rights have to be handed over, what kind of behavior is this, it's just a money grab! The king of the mountain is not so ruthless!

"It's tolerable, it's unbearable! We are not soft persimmons to pinch casually! Must withdraw, completely, redeem the shares! ”

Someone objected, "Redemption? There is nothing left for redemption, how many years of hard work have been uprooted! ”

"How so!" Immediately someone retorted, "Is banking an easy thing to do?" They can do it all if they grab the shares and take the banks, but will they manage? Do you know how to keep your bank running? We took out the shares, and then took all the talents away, and overnight, the savings bank will collapse, and when the time comes, see who can't stand it first! ”

After nearly an hour of debate, the hardliners gradually gained the upper hand.

They confronted Zeng Bu again, and it was called a common enemy.

"We all thought about it and were willing to sell our shares to the imperial court...... Please also ask Zeng Xianggong to allocate the money to us as soon as possible! ”

Zeng Bu nodded, "No problem, this is a check from the Ministry of Households, 100 million yuan, enough to pay for all the shares." ”

These people didn't expect Zeng Bu to agree so happily, they were suspicious, picked up the check and looked at it, and immediately exploded their lungs! It's 100 million yuan, but I'm sorry, this thing is a bond issued by the Ministry of Households.

As mentioned earlier, in order to circumvent the banking system, the household department obtained the power to issue bonds directly, and after a period of operation, the bonds of the household department took root in the private sector, and were almost no different from currency.

But the people in the bank know that the so-called household bonds are a dead letter, let alone 100 million, even if you fill in 1 billion, 100 million is worthless!

The shareholders looked at each other, and in the end they could only let Li Bu stand up.

"Zeng Xianggong, we must not accept the bonds of the household department, and we must pay in other ways."

Zeng Bu lowered his head, the next second was full of smiles, he looked up at these people, the thick ridicule, did not hide it at all, Zeng Bu was also fed up with the scumbag, and the day of settling accounts has come!

"How do you want the court to pay?"

"This ...... Of course, gold and silver are the most appropriate, after all, there is a run on the currency now, the value of the currency is turbulent, and we are also in fear. ”

Li Bu wanted to continue, but Zeng Bu suddenly slapped the table and looked up to the sky and laughed.

"Well said! That's a great point to say! He pointed at the gang in a loud voice, "So you also know about financial turmoil, and you also know about panic? You should be afraid! Because you, and the people behind you, are the ones responsible for this chaos! ”

Zeng Bu nodded and sneered: "Toast and don't eat and drink, come here, take them all down and accept the investigation!" ”

The soldiers rushed together, and without saying a word, they tied up everyone and took them down.

These shareholders didn't react, what are they doing? Don't you have to talk about the rules when the court arrests people? Is there any royal law left? Why don't you even do superficial work, and blatantly create unjust, false and wrongful cases, you guys are too crazy!

(Of course I'm going crazy.,It's almost over.,If you're not crazy, you'll have to wait for the next book)

Zeng Bu smiled at the corner of his mouth, sure enough, he has been talking about the rules for too long, and even you are not used to it.

Didn't you pay attention?

Master's third order is to strictly investigate the crime of spreading false public opinion and affecting financial stability...... That's you! Be honest and obedient, follow the way of the household, and you can still be kept.

Dare to oppose the slightest bit and arrest people directly!

That's how the script is written, it doesn't matter if you don't adapt, you can be in the prison and slowly adapt!

After taking down the shareholders, Zeng Bu immediately ordered that the door be opened to accept all depositors' withdrawal requests.

When the Anmin notice was posted, the boiling degree of Xijing was three points more crazy than the run frenzy!

Puzzled, everyone flocked to the savings bank, and the number of people tripled at once.

To people's surprise, the savings bank has opened a 20-fold window.

How many people came, the imperial court was ready!

The depositors were still confused, the people in front did not take the initiative to go up, but were pushed by the people behind, they went to the front of the window, with a nervous mood, handed over the deposit receipt, and after a while, the money was delivered in front of them, a thick stack!

That's right, it's as simple as that!

When the depositor saw the money, he pinched his thigh hard, grinned in pain, frowned, laughed, and left very funny.

The people in the back also went to withdraw money, and everything was normal.

Until someone gave an opinion.

"I, I'm depositing silver, and I want to withdraw the silver dollar."

His words reminded everyone, yes, all the money given by the imperial court today is paper money, and many of them are bonds issued directly by the Ministry of Households, what about silver dollars? What about Jin Yuan? Why don't you take it out?

"Fellow villagers, fathers and brothers, after discussion, the government hall has decided to gradually abolish gold and silver, and completely adopt paper money, and from today onwards, only paper money can be taken out from the bank!"

"Ahh

The crowd exploded in an instant!

Are you kidding?

Lao Tzu wants real money, and you fool people with a bunch of papers, isn't this a monkey?

No wonder it's open for withdrawals! It turns out that the taste has changed!

"We're not convinced!"

"Sir, we don't want banknotes!"

"Give us gold and silver, the court can't deceive people!"

……

The people were indignant, Zeng Bu snorted, he grabbed a stack of banknotes, held them high, and suddenly threw them forward, the people subconsciously grabbed them, and the scene was very chaotic for a while.

"Didn't you say it was a piece of paper? Isn't it worth it? Why are you still grabbing? ”

Zeng Bu's questioning made many people's faces red, especially the depositors who were still holding the banknotes in their hands, which was even more embarrassing! It's not to take it, and it's not to throw it away, it's just shameless.

Zeng Brown said: "Fellow villagers, ask yourself, how many people usually use gold and silver? You're just getting gold and silver tickets! What is the difference between banknotes and banknotes? These banknotes are recognized by the imperial court, you can shop, you can pay taxes, you can save, you can earn interest! Except that it cannot be exchanged for gold and silver directly, there is no difference. ”

Zeng Bu's words, of course, have strong words, but if you think about it carefully, it is better to retreat than not to get it!

That's it, we're redeemed!
