Chapter 686 Stiff
When the dust fell, only a few banknotes were recovered from the cleaning around, as well as a small half of the gold brick weighing more than two catties in Inspector Qiao's hand, which belonged to the gold brick of HSBC.
Around the pit, only a few deformed silver dollars were found, and nothing else was found. All the jewels, the gold, the silver, all disappeared, and they all turned into molecules in a violent explosion.
It may turn into golden sand, or the golden beans are scattered in the dust, but with such a large area around, it is unlikely that it will be mined like gold panning.
All the bigwigs who learned the news were completely stunned. This means that three of the ten banks and three Chinese banks will face a run on the bank, will face panic, and will face bankruptcy.
If these banks declare bankruptcy, they will also suffer huge losses, and their money, gold, and jewelry will be deposited in the banks, and they will all disappear with the explosion.
After confirming that there was indeed no gold and jewelry there, the bigwigs didn't care about anything else, and first discussed the blockade of the area, and figured out whether they could recover some losses in the ruins, even if it was enough for themselves.
But after some discussion and on-site inspection, the amount of gold mixed in the dust here is very small, and it seems that it has been blown away, just like Inspector Qiao picked up a small half of a gold brick at about 500 meters, I am afraid that it is too difficult to find, and at present, if the people know the road, this place will not become a place for gold panning? I'm afraid the army can't control it.
Oh yes! May it be whoever's!
At this moment, what came to their minds was a Chinese sentence.
They are not worried that the banks will swallow their money, there are families behind those banks, and there are branches, unless they don't want to mix up, otherwise, there are so many countries in the concession. With so many identities, these families, these consortia will completely collapse. They all believe that it will not be easy to help these banks succeed, and that it is possible to bring them down.
So, find the soldiers who knew the scene of the explosion. A gag order was given to shut them up, not to talk about everything they had seen before the explosion, to let the ruins be cleared here, whoever picked up the big pieces would make a profit, and the rest would be piled up in the river.
Smolley was injured again, and after these discussions, he groaned for a while and said: "The matter of the lease is irreparable for the time being, go back and see the ones who control those withdrawals." To avoid uncontrollable riots, it is time to lift the blockade of the concession. ”
"Indeed, the blockade is meaningless, what we have to face now is not that people have fled, and that the concession itself cannot relax its vigilance, and cannot let people leave casually, so as to avoid still having fish that slip through the net. This organization is strange, people from all countries have it. We can't find anyone behind them yet, and those who were caught were all shot dead by Adjutant Zuo. There's no clue, but this organization is terrifying. ”
Jonathan said with a sigh of relief.
Everyone shuddered when they imagined the people with weird smiles on their faces and calmly going to death described in the mouths of the soldiers. These are all dead soldiers!
Where did they know that these people had already fallen for the Hades smile that Dong Ku had just configured, and they all had weird smiles. In fact, they were all dead people, but the flashlight was flickering at that time, and at the moment of seeing the fuse, they didn't care to check it, resulting in no one finding these dead people.
Aftermath. This will be meaningless, except for controlling the situation and avoiding riots, it depends on how the major banks deal with it, but it is all for ordinary people, or those with low status, they are not worried about any losses, even Henry, whose home was ransacked, the bank still has savings, and naturally he is not worried that he can be poorer.
Saeki Jean soon met Smolley, and the moment Smolley saw Zuo Boyang, he had gauze wrapped around his head, which made Zuo Boyang shush and ask for warmth, which really touched Smolley.
When Zuo Boyang heard that there was no longer any need to control the concession, he asked casually: "General Smolley, I heard a series of explosions in the concession last night, and there were even bigger explosions today, what happened." ”
"Hey......"
Smolley didn't hide it, and told the story 1510. Anyway, sooner or later, I will know that there is no need to conceal it, but I feel a little embarrassed, making people toss in their own territory, and the losses are huge, and I don't know the real culprit behind the scenes.
"Is there such a thing......
Zuo Boyang couldn't close his mouth in shock, "Isn't that suffering those who save money?" ”
"May God bless them......"
Smolley had no intention of chatting with Zuo Boyang more, his headache was still to come, so he hurriedly agreed to go back to Zuo Boyang to a banquet, thank him for his friendship, and drove back to the concession.
Zuo Boyang snickered, it seems that the IQ of the bigwigs in the concession is nothing more than that. If hundreds of tons of gold are blown up, then the dust is not full of golden bright spots? Actually, no one realizes this, or they can't react in a short time, and they can't take care of it for the time being, but the temporary wealth disappears, and it is a foregone conclusion, and it seems that the third base does not need to contribute.
waved his hand and pulled out the headset, calmly ordered, lifted the blockade, and then drove to the hospital in the concession to find Natasha and see the progress of the antidote, so that Dong Ku could slowly recover, meet with the bigwigs in the concession, and stabilize the mood of the outside world.
As for whether Natasha's antidote works, no one will swear it, because Dong Ku is alive and kicking, and there is no need to detoxify at all, so it's just a look for the outside world.
Dong Ku was counting all the money that the bank had harvested, and in the concession, all the bank presidents who had been looted had been summoned to Henry's embassy to study what to do.
When they heard that the stolen property had evaporated, all the governors, even the Chinese governors, were stunned, so that even if they were to pay it off, they would be heavily indebted.
After a few seconds of distraction, the president of HSBC looked up and said: "I didn't expect this huge loss, but it doesn't matter whether we are held accountable or not, we HSBC will be strong to repay the debt, this money cannot be exchanged from Tianjin, in case of a run on the frenzy, Tianjin will also be affected, so this money has to be shipped from other places." ”
Other presidents all looked at him, everyone knows that banks are not afraid of debts, they are afraid of a credibility crisis, they still have branches, as well as consortia, and families, what they do is reputation, once the credibility is lost, their loss is not 120 million, or more, it will be a complete loss of the bank's foundation. The global industry is bankrupt, and it is difficult for families to run the same industry.
The president of Citibank also said calmly: "Citibank will not refuse to pay, Citibank will ship the funds in place within half a month, if you need money urgently, you can go to Citibank in other countries, and the procedures issued here ensure that Citibank can mention cash wherever it goes." ”
Li Minqing, president of Zhongnan Bank, also followed suit: "Our bank is the same. Even if the credibility is temporarily damaged, even if no one saves money after paying off the debt, I Li will stand in the gate of the bank before the bank pays off the debt, and greet everyone. ”
The governor of the Bank of Belgium hesitated, stood up and said: "Our shipping strength is weak, I am afraid it will be difficult to bear the loss, if the concession side does not give support." Even if the money is transferred from the country, I'm afraid it won't be able to fill this hole, I ......"
Before he could finish his words, and before he could spit out, Jonathan stood up and said: "Your bankers have nothing to do with us, and the Concession has suffered this catastrophe, not because the Concession is incompetent, but because the opponent is too fierce. We do our best as far as the concession is concerned. I think everyone knows that not to mention the limited operating expenses of the concession itself, and the banks also exist, so the concession also suffered losses and was also looted. In this case, everyone can see and support it, but I'm afraid it's gone. ”.
Henry was also unhappy with Belgium's performance, and he said lightly: "I think. Here, if Warby Bank declares bankruptcy, you will reduce your losses by hundreds of millions, but I tell you clearly, from now on, you will lose more friends, just like the polar bear declares bankruptcy, there will be no one to trade with them currency, the transaction will be gold, the trade-off of interests, you can measure it yourself, the difficulties, only you will get through it, there will be no third party funding, unless you find a third party yourself. ”
The governor of Belgium had declared bankruptcy, like Lao Maozi Bank, but Henry's words were clearly threatening, and if he did so, I am afraid that it would not only be Warpy Bank that would be sanctioned, but even the country would be overwhelmed by these countries here.
"Hey......"
He sighed secretly, shook his head and said: "Although our line is small, it is no problem to withstand the run, I believe that the self-tightening of the release of the reluctance is recovered, and the loss can barely be resisted by ourselves." ”
After a short exchange, the rest of the people understood that if the loss was not hard this time, they would be excluded, and even sanctioned, and I am afraid that the country would also be implicated, once that happened, these people would not use their guns, but the country would be angry with their own families, consortiums, I am afraid that the losses will be greater, and even other branches will be difficult to operate.
China's remaining Central Bank and Zhongtong Bank are simply and neatly, and they have simply stated that they will firmly deal with the run on the concession after the news is announced, deal with the big claimants, and never declare bankruptcy.
In this way, the meeting was much simpler, and all the banks understood that if they declared bankruptcy together at this moment, it would cause global credibility to deteriorate, lead to the inability of other banks to operate, and a run, and at the same time, cause a financial turmoil. On the contrary, this is the moment to build credibility, and under such difficult conditions, to give confidence to those who make deposits, that is, to play a golden signboard.
As a result, the one-hour meeting finally decided on a plan, and the banks came up with countermeasures, either to raise funds, to postpone payments, or to raise interest rates, so that everyone could wait for a while, or simply to borrow, to deal with the run, to fully cash in on withdrawals, and in the chaos, to start the bank's credibility.
Among the various means, the only purpose is to admit the account, that is, to stiffen up, let the loss swallow itself, let those who save money feel at ease, and avoid the loss of the overall reputation.
At the end of the meeting, martial law had been lifted on the streets, allowing people to temporarily resume their daily lives, but martial law was still around the banks, and those who were looking for money or those who were transferring money were all stopped outside.
The broken bank has already made everyone see the trouble, but the bank does not say anything to the public, and people only speculate that the bank was bombed, and as for the cause, as for the loss, it is all in speculation.
The bank is vigorously cleaning up the ruins, and they have to rebuild the original site, which may be difficult to complete for the time being, at least in three or two months.
Their move is to let everyone see that the bank has not been attacked, and it is still strong, which is also part of the confidence of everyone.
After the meeting, just after noon, trucks drove up, and then a large amount of money was deposited into the three banks.
According to the losses of the three banks and several large households discussed and counted, the instant noodle factory actually deposited 1,000 catties of gold and 50 million cash at a time, and told Governor Li that within five days, 50 million cash would be raised, which was enough to deal with the run and those who needed compensation.
The other two banks are about the same, they have deposited their money in the banks and packed them into bills, and they will help the banks through the crisis.
Not only did China's three banks not be destroyed, but the amount of money that came in was enough to allow them to easily weather the crisis, even if it was not difficult to pay the full amount of money they had deposited, after all, they did not have any foreign banks in the bank to store the wealth they wanted to repatriate.
This side is in full swing, Dong Ku is also busy there, hundreds of people are busy all night, plus the ones who took over after the shift change in the morning, and in the afternoon, the harvest was finally counted.
Gold, the thirteen banks have obtained a total of more than 780 tons, the amount of silver dollars is more than 300 million, and the banknotes of various countries are about the same, roughly three or four billion, as for jewelry, this has not yet been counted, but the number of cultural relics and jewelry in the banks of various countries is staggering, I am afraid that there are more than the previous Dong Ku in his hands.
Looking at the numbers reported by the group, Dong Ku was not happy, he was more angry at this time.
This gang of dogs. How much wealth they plundered from China! These are just drizzles, and over the years, I don't know how many roads there are.
Oh yes! Be sure to make them all spit it out! No! Double!!
Dong Ku looked at the group of numbers and swore hatefully in his heart.
Zuo Boyang likes to do things, for wealth, he is a little similar to Dong Ku, he has no concept, no hobbies, only the difference is for cultural relics, Dong Ku has an inexplicable collection wail, and he can't tell a Tao, he doesn't even have a hobby. He saw that Dong Ku's mood fluctuated a little, and he was afraid that he would think of the great powers taking away the jewels of the Old Summer Palace again, and he heard Dong Ku talk more than once.
Seeing Dong Ku put down the report form, Zuo Boyang stretched out his hand and handed him a cloth bag and said, "Captain, don't worry about those, you can get them back when you go back, and you can take out the interest." Give, you put this away, this is a testimony of your life and death, don't lose it, it's still useful. ”
"The torn sheets?"
Dong Ku looked at Zuo Boyang puzzled, and took the cloth bag as he spoke.
"Yes, it's the sheet, don't lose it."
Zuo Boyang asked again, but did not explain deeply.
"Okay......"
Dong Ku called No. 5 and said: "You put this away, don't lose ......" (to be continued......)
