When the owners of the silver horn heard that the Chamber of Commerce opened interest-free loans, their restless emotions cooled down, the first feeling was disbelief, and the second was overwhelming gratitude! As for the so-called asset mortgage, as long as it can be redeemed with money afterwards, it is actually the concept of writing an IOU.

The Chamber of Commerce did not take the opportunity to offer high interest rates and merge with the bank, which not only provoked the pillar of the Chinese-funded banking industry, but also made a high degree of return to the society.

If, after borrowing money, there is a run on the bank and it becomes insolvent, it is actually difficult to get back all the money lent. Because the three major banks of the Chamber of Commerce do not all have the first creditor's rights, the assets must be sold at a low price to compensate the first creditor first.

Of course, the Chamber of Commerce will not lose all its money, and it will not be able to recover a penny, and it will still be able to recover seventy or eighty percent more or less. In exchange for quotas, it is not to give the silver number bosses the opportunity to arbitrage and prostitute the funds to save the market.

In fact, the silver boss does not dare to do such an over-the-top thing, but there must be a rule for everything, and there must be rules for saving the market. Several silver number bosses brought some cashed checks, and immediately took the checks to redeem the amount.

Qiu De even accepted the check, asked the silver number man to take the silver account boss to complete the mortgage procedures, and then lent the check from the Oriental Bank. The bosses of the silver number took the checks of the Oriental Bank to the counter to cash them, and then transported them back to the bank number to the customers for payment.

Most of the silver number owners did not bring the check to the chamber of commerce, and when they saw that some of the bosses had already started the formalities, they hurried back to the silver number to get the check.

Then he came to the guild hall with boxes and boxes of checks to borrow money.

From the beginning of Qiu Degen's table to collect tickets, the link of Chinese-funded bailout has been started Xu Mingye, the boss of Yongtai Yinhao, handed over the check to Qiu Degeng, and after completing the mortgage procedures, he received the corresponding amount of cash check, and breathed a long sigh of relief, and raised his sleeves to wipe the sweat on his forehead for the rest of his life.

He walked down the steps with the cash box, and just arrived at the water tank in the middle hall, as if he remembered something, he stood there and was stunned for a moment. Qiu De's eyes looked at him and felt a little strange, just when he was suspicious, Boss Xu put the cash box on the ground, turned around and lifted his robe, knelt on the ground, took off his hat, and knocked his head three times.

"Click!"

"Click!"

"Click!"

Qiu De immediately got up from his chair to avoid when Boss Xu knelt down, and the rest of the silver boss present were also stunned for a moment, and they all dodged to avoid a road, and looked at Boss Xu. Boss Xu said: "Thank you to the Chamber of Commerce for opening the warehouse to save the market and help your neighbors!" ”

Qiu De was about to persuade Boss Xu to get up, but when he saw that Boss Xu had already stood up by himself, he bowed and said, "Mr. Qiu, thank you Chairman He, Boss He, and many directors of the Chamber of Commerce for me." ”

Immediately, Boss Xu left in a hurry, Qiu De laughed even more, and understood that Xu Mingye was not kneeling to him, nor kneeling to Boss He, but kowtowing to a plaque on the pillar of the hall. I saw that the two sides of the middle hall are still engraved with a pair of couplets from the time of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, the left book "bravely stand at the head of the tide, dare to be the first" eight characters, the right book "unity and enterprising, neighborly harmony" sentence, in the middle is hung a pair of black lacquer gilt plaque, written "national rejuvenation" four big characters.

The word is from the handwriting of Mr. Chu Weinan, the founder of the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce, and was written in the 40s when the Chaoshan Chamber of Commerce was first established.

Afterwards, Qiu De sat down again and began to handle business, but before leaving, the silver boss would bow deeply to the plaque in the middle hall as a salute.

The spirit of the Chamber of Commerce, see you in times of crisis, the soul of the Chamber of Commerce, can be molded together.

In the past, the members only relied on the strength of the Chamber of Commerce, no one took the word "national rejuvenation" to heart, and even many people subconsciously ignored the plaque.

Yongtai Silver.

Xu Mingye came to the door with a few cash trucks from the Oriental Bank, looked at the more than 200 customers blocking the door, and shouted: "Bosses, the silver number will be cashed to you immediately."

More than a dozen employees of Oriental Bank sent the cash boxes to the counter one by one.

Several detectives of the criminal team held cigarettes and looked at the crowd, watching for something to happen.

In order to avoid frequent cash flow problems, Ho Ting-yin specially signed an operational order to mobilize more than 100 police officers from Hong Kong Island and Kowloon to escort cash. Before there was a professional security company on Hong Kong Island, the police force had a duty to protect the security of banks, and sending people with guns to escort large-scale cash transfers was a reasonable use of law enforcement power to bring services to the public, but there was no fear of problems at all.

The customers, who were noisy before, saw the police escorting the cash boxes to the counter one by one, and the atmosphere calmed down immediately.

A Nanyang boss took out more than 100 cash and left, and before leaving, he sat in the silver number and drank tea, and smiled embarrassedly: "Xu Sheng, the Mingde silver account went bankrupt in the morning, and it was rumored that the small silver village was going to close down and run away." ”

"I've been here all my life, so I have to come here in person."

Xu Mingye solved the crisis in front of him and said with a smile: "Boss Zeng, I understand, the silver number deposit certificate is free to withdraw, you can withdraw when you like, when you want to deposit, when you can save." ”

"Xu Sheng's atmosphere."

The Nanyang boss patted him on the shoulder: "After so many years of cooperation, I still don't believe you?" I'm not afraid that you will run away, but be careful, and when the limelight passes, there will be many opportunities for cooperation in the future. ”

"Walk slowly."

Xu Mingye smiled and sent people out of the door.

Evening.

Five.

When the directors of the chamber of commerce returned to the hall, they set up a stove on the log table in the middle hall, soaking vegetables, playing the side stove, and chatting about the turmoil in the industry.

"I chatted with Mr. Shao of the Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, President Wang of the China Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Chairman Dong of the Hakka Chamber of Commerce, and President Chen of the Fujian Chamber of Commerce and reached an agreement." He Shanheng was wearing a gray suit and tie, and after sitting on the chair, he did not rush to move the chopsticks, but scooped a bowl of bone broth base with a spoon and put it in front of him to cool: "The Shanghai Chamber of Commerce, the Hakka Chamber of Commerce, and the Ba Fujian Chamber of Commerce will actively save themselves and provide loans to the silver boss in the Chamber of Commerce to ensure that the members of their respective chambers of commerce will tide over the difficulties first." ”

"The China Chamber of Commerce and Industry learned the news that it could allocate 20 million Hong Kong dollars for two years and provide it to us at low interest."

He Dingxian picked up a few pieces of hanging dragon from the copper pot with chopsticks, put them in the sauce and stirred them, and stuffed them into his mouth, but he couldn't help but flash a touch of loss in his heart.

The Chinese on Hong Kong Island do not have their own government and their own leaders, so it is really difficult to get things done. Borrowing the system of the chamber of commerce, no matter how big it is, it can only use the nostalgia to unite the local compatriots. We want all Chinese on Hong Kong Island to unite and unite with the outside world.

Difficult!

Because, the Chinese on Hong Kong Island lack the highest level of legality, like a lost soul, like an orphan.

"After all, it's better to sweep the snow in front of the door." He swallowed the hanging dragon with relish, and then picked up a few slices of tripe and threw them into the pot. He Shanheng said ashamedly: "I'm sorry, He Sheng, because the funds to be mobilized in the banking industry are too large, several chambers of commerce are quite worried. ”

"Even if you know that a run has formed, it's hard to trust us, after all, the Guangdong Chamber of Commerce in Hong Kong's banking industry is the largest, and other chambers of commerce are more willing to wait."

Zheng Yutong's face was displeased, and his temper was hot: "it, what are you waiting for, collect our corpses, or eat our meat?" ”

"When facing British capital, Chinese capital is one and the same, do you understand?"

"Forget it."

He Dingxian waved his chopsticks and said indifferently: "If only they could take care of themselves and not cause us trouble." Didn't you still make 20 million in the Federation of Trade Unions? Don't have too little money for nothing, and others must give money if they are not responsible. ”

"Chairman He, hard work."

He toasted a cup of tea.

He Shanheng shook his head: "It's just a trivial matter." ”

"Where the duty lies."

Zheng Yutong shook the pot and said: "In just one afternoon, I have already purchased more than five million gold, and if it weren't for the jewelry business last year, I would almost not be able to hold it." ”

Ho Shanheng said: "I have asked Hang Seng's salesman to write a special check and guard the vault 24 hours a day, during this time, Feng Changli represents Hang Seng's accounts and works in the guild hall. ”

"No problem."

He Dingxian nodded in greeting, as for the little jewelry business in Zheng Zong's son-in-law's mouth, it is not a little bit, but a direct mark, the world's diamond industry monopoly company, the only product exporter "Delbys" company's diamond import license.

Become the only distributor in Hong Kong, mainland China and Haojiang regions.

Gaining a regional monopoly position will take Chow Tai Fook to a whole new level.

Not only do gold, but also make diamonds, and diamonds are more profitable.

The success of this move has established Chow Tai Fook's leading position in the precious metals and jewellery industry in Asia, and other jewellery companies have only worn Chow Tai Fook shoes for decades. Li Guanchun said: "I personally take care of the accounts of the Bank of East Asia. ”

"Haha."

"Okay, with Chairman Li coming forward, it will definitely be more thoughtful." He Dingxian ate the meat and said that he had no opinion. As long as they are willing to pay, it doesn't matter who comes forward to manage the accounts. What's more, the three banks are three separate accounts, but for every HK$10 million invested by the two banks to bail out the market, Oriental Bank has to invest HK$20 million.

This is not a mandatory requirement, but it is based on the ratio of capital reserves. It can't be, he shouted to save the market, and then spend the money of Hang Seng and Oriental Bank first, right?

At this time, the bosses of all the silver accounts in the chamber of commerce have been present one after another, in addition to the Shenglong, Fengyu, Yongtai and other silver accounts that have come, there are also Daoheng, Guang'an, Yonglong, Yuedong Trust and other banks. Among them, the silver boss is a big boss, with two or three shareholders.

In a bank with a surname, the chairman of the board of directors and six or seven directors are present. There are a total of 37 formal banking companies registered by the Chamber of Commerce in Guangdong Province, excluding gray companies such as loan sharks and pawnbroking, but more than 100 people have come.

The hall helpers brought small stools to the members, and the members sat on the stools, sitting upright, quietly waiting for the directors of the chamber of commerce to eat and drink enough before coming to talk to them. Around the middle hall, in addition to the Chao Yiyong Ma Tsai in black shirts, there are also more than a dozen plainclothes detectives led by Lan Gang, regardless of the police, Jianghu people, and waists, the atmosphere becomes more and more solemn with more visitors.

In the picture, more than 100 chamber of commerce bosses sitting together, looking at a solemn carved pillar couplet in front of them, above which is a black plaque, a few steps to go inside, under the Chinese painting of "grand plan to spread wings" in the middle hall, there are eight chamber of commerce directors wearing suits, different ages, and different expressions.

The directors were wearing suits, playing the side stove, some were smiling, some were popular, but without exception, their eyes were very sharp, and their aura was deep and wide.
