The July day was so hot that even though there was already a big ice basin in the room, and there were two rough maids playing fans on the side, Kang Wanming still felt that it was too hot to do it, so he simply spread out the buttons of his clothes, with a big belly, leaning on the rocking chair and swaying, while holding a small pot full of sour plum soup, he poured it into his mouth vigorously.

To be honest, Kang Wanming's image is really sloppy enough, and his identity as the owner of the world's No. 1 money village really doesn't match, how do you look like a rich man in the countryside, but Kang Wanming himself doesn't care, how comfortable and how to come, no side, Kang Wanming feels that he has casual qualifications, because in this Taiyuan City, he is the number one person, even the governor sees him, then he has to be polite to three points, as for those officials below the prefect want to see him, it depends on whether he Kang Wanming is happy to see him, Who would dare to look at his jokes.

Today's Kang Wanming's mood is really not too good, the heat is one of the reasons, but more is the nest fire, there is no other, a month ago to Beijing to participate in the Ministry of Industry Investment Association, he Kang Wanming brought millions of taels of silver tickets, before going to the confident words to all the projects to wrap up, as a result, the money is not less, but even a project has not been able to get back, but he has never looked down on a few business owners to get the benefits, it is said that those who plan to unify today to play even the groundbreaking ceremony, Isn't this rubbing salt on his Kang Wanming's wound or what?

"Master, Cheng Chungong, the shopkeeper of 'Cheng Ji Firm', Wan Deshan, the shopkeeper of 'Ningcheng Firm', Li Dasheng, the shopkeeper of 'Desheng Firm', and Sun Shigao, the shopkeeper of 'Longsheng Firm', are here."

Just when Kang Wanming was irritable, he saw the second shopkeeper in charge of scheduling at the front desk sweating profusely from behind the screen, and said with a gloomy face.

"Nope!"

As soon as he heard that these businessmen who had won the bid at the Ministry of Industry Merchants Association were coming, Kang Wanming's already poor mood immediately worsened, and he didn't listen to the second shopkeeper finish speaking, he waved his hand impatiently and scolded him unceremoniously.

"Master, they are all here to pick up silver, and there is not much silver in the treasury, look at this ......"

The second shopkeeper did not go to Beijing with Kang Wanming, and he didn't know much about the Ministry of Industry and the Ministry of Investment, but he still knew the general situation, and he knew why his master was so impatient, but the matter was urgent, but the second shopkeeper didn't dare to hide it or not report it, so he could only face Kang Wanming's angry eyes and hurriedly explain a sentence.

"Huh?"

Kang Wanming originally thought that these four people were here to urge him to participate in the groundbreaking ceremony, but he didn't expect that they actually came to withdraw the silver they had saved, and he really couldn't come back to his senses for a while.

"Master, now there are only 387,000 taels of silver in the treasury, and the four of them have to withdraw the silver in full, a total of 298,000 taels of silver.

Seeing that Kang Wanming didn't react for a long time, the second shopkeeper couldn't help but feel a little uneasy, so he hurriedly explained the matter in detail.

"How can there be only such a little, sir, didn't I just transfer 600,000 taels of cash out the day before yesterday, why is there only so much left in two days, huh?"

"Risheng Money" is not only the largest money village in Shanxi, but also the first money village in the Qing Dynasty, business all over the world, all the people who come and go are giants, there is never a shortage of silver, of course, although there is a lot of silver, but it is impossible to put it in the treasury idle, most of them are lent out, as for the spare silver stored in the treasury is only a few, less than one-tenth of the size of the bank, because the reputation of the "Sunrise Bank" has always been excellent, and it is really not afraid of the trend of run, However, at present, the four firms suddenly came together to withdraw the silver, for the "Sunrise Money", it is not a run but also a run, and Kang Wanming is not in a hurry to be free.

"Master Mingjian, yesterday a 'Qilin firm' came to someone, saying that he wanted to take the silver urgently, and transferred away 200,000 taels of silver, and the small one originally thought that there was a more than 400,000 taels in the warehouse, which should be enough, so I didn't think much about it, but I didn't expect that tens of thousands of taels were used again this morning, if they were transferred away by the Cheng shopkeeper, I am afraid that this matter will not be easy to do, and now only you can stabilize the situation."

As soon as Kang Wanming asked about this, the second shopkeeper's face immediately became bitter, and he hurriedly explained carefully.

"Well......, give!"

Kang Wanming has been in charge of the money village for more than 20 years, naturally he is not an idle person, at this time, when he heard so many clever things together, how could he not be vigilant, the problem is that Cheng Chungong and others are a number of big businessmen in Taiyuan Mansion, they come to transfer silver, if the money can not be given, the consequences must not be easy to play, even if it is difficult, this reputation must not be lost, as soon as he thought of this, although Kang Wanming was worried in his heart, but he still gritted his teeth and gave an answer.

"This ......"

100,000 taels of silver is already an astronomical amount for small and medium-sized businessmen, but for the "Risheng Money Village", it is not a matter at all, just move casually, and the cash of 100,000 taels of silver will be exhausted.

"It's okay, master, I'll go to the 'Huizhuan Bank' to find Lao Xiao to adjust some inches, first withstand the past two days, and then the lord will go to transfer the cash, so it's decided!"

Although Kang Wanming was also very panicked in his heart, he was not an idle person in the end, he could still calm down, his eyebrows raised, he already had an idea, so he hurriedly ordered, and dragged down the clothes that were half-draped on his body, Huo Ran stood up, shouted and said: "Come on, change clothes!" ”

"Okay, sir, go and come back quickly, and the little one will be transferred to the silver."

Seeing that Kang Wanming had already made a decision, the second shopkeeper didn't dare to say more, so he hurriedly responded, and hurriedly rushed to the counter in the front yard......

In a secret room in the backyard of the Taiyuan branch of the "Kirin Firm", a strong man in his early forties sat expressionlessly on the Taishi chair, this person is the helmsman of the "sharp knife" Shanxi rudder He Tao, as for the opposite sitting is a round-faced man, chubby, with a friendly smile on his face, this person is the shopkeeper of the Taiyuan branch of the "Kirin Firm" Zhao Jiaxin, although the system of the two is different, they can cooperate with each other for many years, they are very familiar with each other, and they always talk and laugh when they meet in the past. But at this time, both of them closed their lips tightly, and there was a hint of nervousness between their eyebrows.

"What a helmsman, Cheng shopkeeper and others have begun to adjust the silver, please make it clear to the helmsman!"

Just when He and Zhao were sitting silently opposite each other, they heard a rush of footsteps, and a man in a strong suit had already rushed in from outside, and he had already grabbed He Tao in a few big steps, bowed, hugged his fists and saluted, and hurriedly said a word.

"Well, shopkeeper Zhao, look ......"

He Tao was not in a hurry to make a decision, but politely asked Zhao Jiaxin.

"Well, let's get started."

The stakes are very high, Zhao Jiaxin couldn't help but hesitate a little, but he didn't hesitate for long, he gritted his teeth and made up his mind.

"Alright, pass the order down and do what you planned!"

Seeing that Zhao Jiaxin had no objection, He Tao didn't delay any longer, waved his hand, and gave the order with great pride.

"Wow!"

As soon as he heard that He Tao had already given the order, the strong man who came to pay tribute didn't dare to delay it a little, and after answering in a hurry, he had already hurriedly exited the secret room, and went to arrange relevant matters without mentioning it.

"Master, master, it's not good, it's not good......"

In a study in the backyard of the "Hui Deposit Bank", the visiting Kang Wanming was chatting with Xiao Lufeng of the "Hui Deposit Bank" with a smile on his face, and he was obviously in a good mood, but there was nothing to do, just because Xiao Lufeng had agreed to his request to borrow 200,000 taels of silver, and as soon as his mind was over, Kang Wanming's hanging heart had already let go of most of it, but unfortunately he did not last long in such a good mood, and he saw a guy on his money bank breaking in sweating, and he was still shouting anxiously.

"Bastard, what's the matter? Say! ”

Kang Wanming is a very face-saving person, and when he saw that his men were so out of shape in front of Xiao Lufeng, he became angry, his face sank, and he reprimanded mercilessly.

"Master, something happened, the silver of the shopkeeper Cheng and others has not been withdrawn, and there are suddenly a lot of people who mention the silver in the bank, and there are rumors in the city, and the people who come to withdraw have blocked the money village, and the shopkeeper Sun can't stop it, so he sent the little one to ask the master to go back quickly."

The guy was obviously in a hurry, even though Kang Wanming had lowered his face, he still didn't restrain himself, and shouted in a panic.

"What? How so? Damn it! Brother Xiao, the younger brother has to lend a helping hand this time, can the 200,000 taels of cash agreed before be transferred to the younger brother, the interest is negotiable, how about doubling it again? ”

The most fearful thing about opening a money bank is this kind of run, once it is encountered, no matter how big the money bank is, it is difficult to get out of the predicament by its own strength, Kang Wanming is really anxious, he can't care about reprimanding the guy again, Huo Erqi got up, and bowed his hand to Xiao Lufeng with a look of anticipation, and discussed carelessly.

"Brother Kang, it's not for my brother not to help you, this squeeze is together, and I'm afraid that my brother will be in a catastrophe, so you should hurry up and adjust your head elsewhere, and you have to prepare for your brother, so you won't leave your brother more."

Xiao Lufeng is also the master of the money bank for many years, although the business is not as huge as Kang Wanming, but it can be regarded as a large money bank in the Qing Dynasty, how can it not be clear that the run on the trend is together, all the money banks are not spared, not to mention the doubling of interest at this time, even if it is ten times, Xiao Lufeng will never give up his own lifeline, but seeing that he shook his head with a wry smile, he unceremoniously gave up the order to evict the customer. "Alas......" Xiao Lufeng's words have been said so deadly, Kang Wanming knew that it was useless to ask for more, so he had no choice but to sigh, stomped his feet, and went out of the room angrily, and hurried to his own bank......
