Chapter 928: Financial Crisis
Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "What's the matter?" Let's just say it! ”
Fan Kaidao: "President, there is a crisis in our finances! ”
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became solemn. Fiscal crises are not a joke, and once a country has a fiscal crisis, it will lead to a series of problems. In serious cases, it can even have a huge impact on the country, leading to the emergence of a newly stable state power, affecting the operation of the entire national system.
Li Zhen stared at Fan Kai and said in a deep voice: "The Great Bank of China has been operating well, how can there be a problem suddenly?" His eyes were like knives, staring at Fan Kai tightly, making Fan Kai's heart beat with fear.
Li Zhen has been in a high position for many years and already has official authority.
He stared at the person, as if a sharp sword was hanging above Fan Kai's head.
Fan Kai had a self-reproachful expression on his face, and said seriously: "Speaking of which, this matter is mainly due to my failure to do a good job and being exploited by others, which led to today's situation." ”
"What's going on?" Li Zhen asked.
Fan Kai sighed: "Here's the thing, due to the successive wars in the past few years, countless money has been consumed every year, and the money stored in the bank has gradually been consumed. After the unification of the world, the tax revenue has not yet been collected, and countless officials have already appeared, and the money consumed has once again intensified. In addition, some disasters and the like from time to time cost money for disaster relief. In addition, there were also the construction of courts, the supply of the army, and a series of money consumption, resulting in the bank's money not keeping up. ”
"In fact, the consumption of money is only a crisis, not a big problem."
"As long as somebody saves money, we can keep running."
"But, somehow, the news of our lack of money in the bank suddenly reached the ears of an English missionary. At that time, the British preacher spread rumors that our money had been embezzled by officials and that there was no money in the bank vault. When these words came out, it spread like a plague, and the people who kept money in the bank came to withdraw their money. In one day, the bank's cash inventory was one-fifth less. ”
"For two days in a row, the bank's inventory was reduced by about half."
"I, Brother Mu and the rest of the bank hurriedly refuted the rumors, and even arrested the British missionaries, but the impact of the rumors on the bank was very great, people came to withdraw money every day, and the number of people who deposited money was decreasing day by day, and they were unable to make ends meet."
"Brother Mu and I saw that the situation was not right, and urgently summoned the major businessmen of the Thirteen Banks in Guangzhou to borrow money from the businessmen to raise money, temporarily plugging this gap. However, there was still a lack of money, so Brother Mu and I came to Beijing to find the president, on the one hand, to ask for help. On the other hand, they want to ask the president to rest and recuperate, and to suspend the war, otherwise if we continue to fight, our money will not be able to operate, and we can only make decisions from the people, which will hurt the people and make the newly stable country unstable. ”
Fan Kai's face was full of frustration, he didn't expect to be hit hard because of a small problem.
Mu Zhongyuan continued: "President, the treasury is currently empty, and a fund supplement is urgently needed. Now we can't raise money, and now we can only ask the president to find a way. ”
After Li Zhen heard this, his brows furrowed into a Sichuan character.
This time, it's Britain again!
United Kingdom! United Kingdom! This country where the sun never sets is really idle! The last time he launched the Eight-Power Treaty, he intended to restrict his soldiers and horses from going around to conquer and prevent Li Zhen from sending troops everywhere. Now, there is another such thing, which makes Li Zhen's money bag have problems, which makes Li Zhen breathe a sigh of relief in his heart.
Seeing that Li Zhen didn't speak, Fan Kai said: "President, I didn't investigate this matter, and let the British take advantage of the loophole, so please punish the president." ”
Mu Zhongyuan said: "I also have my responsibility!" I didn't supervise well. ”
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "Things have happened, guilt and self-blame are useless, and it is useless to hold them accountable." Now we need to consider how to solve the problems encountered, and only by raising enough money and money can we plug the loopholes that have been vacated. ”
Mu Zhongyuan's face was slightly softened, and he said, "The president is wise!" ”
Li Zhenyi rolled his eyes and said, "Hurry up and find a way, the key is to deal with the loopholes of money." ”
Mu Zhongyuan said: "Brother Fan Xian and I came to Beijing to ask the president to give me an idea, but I really can't think of a way. We've already used what works. Even, Fan Xiandi and I used our family funds and pasted our money into it, but we still couldn't plug the gap. ”
Li Zhen was speechless for a moment, feeling deeply helpless.
Nima, he became a firefighter.
Li Zhen quickly calmed down, thought about it, and said: "The only way to raise money is to raise funds." There are many rich people in the thirteen lines of Guangzhou, and you are one of them, and you should have a good relationship with the rest of the people, can't you borrow money? ”
Fan Kai shrugged his shoulders and said helplessly: "President, these rich people have money in the bank. They also knew about the situation of the bank this time, and they were worried that the bank would collapse completely, so they borrowed money to temporarily plug part of the gap, so that the bank was only barely functioning, not dead, but at any time facing the danger of collapse. Brother Mu and I want to borrow more money, but no one is willing to borrow money, lest we can't exchange it. ”
"Profiteering!"
Li Zhen muttered, and a solemn look appeared on his face.
Not being able to borrow money is the biggest problem!
Fan Kai continued: "Money has become the biggest problem now, as long as there is a sufficient amount of money injected into the bank, let the people know that our bank has enough money, the people will restore their trust in us." All problems will be solved. In the final analysis, it is the lack of money at the bottom of the box that makes the people unable to find a sense of security. ”
Li Zhen's gaze fell on Fan Kai and asked, "All over the country, who are the rich people you know?" ”
Fan Kai thought about it carefully and replied: "As far as Guangdong is concerned, the most famous is Wu Shaorong of the Thirteen Lines, this person is the son of the rich man Wu Bingjian, who inherited the family business and is extremely rich. In addition, there is also the Qiao family in Shanxi, and Qiao Zhiyong, the head of the Qiao family, has a good management and countless wealth. and Huizhou businessman Hu Xueyan, etc., are the most famous and wealthy today. ”
Li Zhen groaned: "You and Brother Mu together, within a month, before or after the year, invite all these people to Beijing, I will tell them." If the soft ones don't work, the hard ones must be invited. At the same time, let the bank side must hold on, that is, this more than a month, get through it, and it will be able to run at high speed again. ”
"Yes!"
Fan Kai responded and asked, "What is the president's plan?" ”
Li Zhen shook his head and said, "There is no plan!" ”
The two of them were speechless for a moment, staring at each other with big eyes, but the two of them couldn't think of a good plan, so they could only agree.
