Prodigal Son of the Ming Dynasty

  Chapter 1575 Who is in favor and who is against

  For banks, the risk of a run on the bank is extremely high.

   Now, since Wang Jinyuan intends to inherit Fang Jifan's behest, he must repurchase the stock no matter what, and save the stock price that has been devastated, so more funds are needed.

  But if the run continues, it will be a fire in the backyard, which will make the whole Xishan worse.

  While Her Royal Highness has made a promise, Wang Jinyuan is still a little worried.

   It's just that at this time, we can only sink our boats.

  He immediately returned to the bank and ordered all the shopkeepers to start to act.

  In the exchange, a large amount of funds are still injected, and stocks are repurchased frantically.

   This is a stock that has been plummeting, and finally began to pick up a little bit.

  Wang Jinyuan is undoubtedly taking a big gamble.

  Because although he has mobilized tens of millions of taels of silver from Xishan Bank, and even keeps a large amount of funds as reserves, it is still unknown whether he can restore the stock market before the funds are exhausted.

  It was only at this time that some commercial firms saw that Xishan Bank began to inject funds, and finally took action, and some people began to enter the market. Of course... most of them were extremely cautious, fearing that one bad one would turn the boat over.

  The only good news is that as a large number of stocks began to be repurchased, the momentum of crazy selling was stopped.

only…

  For Xishan Bank, it is a time of life and death.

  Such a large-scale dispatch of funds made many people doubt whether the Xishan Bank had enough reserves. All of a sudden, the wave of runs finally broke out.

  Countless people are worried that the Daming banknotes in their hands will become waste paper.

  More and more people are afraid that at this time, the bank's reserves will run out.

  Therefore, more and more people come to exchange real money.

   Among them, there are quite a few people who are not angry with Xishan.

  Fang Jifan died, they were happy.

  As a result, the stock price and the price of the mansion plummeted, but they found that they were the ones who suffered the most.

   Their hearts are bleeding.

  But without hesitation, he broke his arm to survive.

  Therefore, they immediately repudiated the loan, preferring that Xishan confiscated the house, fields, and land mortgages.

  Now...the vast majority of them have lost all their wealth.

  The house is gone, and the family land is gone.

nothing left.

  Maybe... Some people still have some treasures in their hands. The only thing that comforts them is that they still have an official position.

  So, they had no choice but to comfort themselves, they would not have to worry about no firewood if they kept the green hills, and even if Fang Jifan's dog-like thing died, the big guys would not be at peace. Well, I'm going to break up the house, so is his Fang's family still able to live a good life?

   It’s a big deal, the fish will die and the net will be broken, let’s all work together.

  Xishan Bank is definitely going to end.

  Looking at the crowd of people who came to run, Zhou Tao, whose land and mansion had been confiscated before, was overjoyed.

   This is the only good news during this period of time.

The land in his hometown was gone, the house was also confiscated, and Xishan issued an order for forced relocation. For a while, the Zhou family was crying, but although Zhou Tao was bleeding from his heart, he could have imagined that... this was to carry on the holy school. Grit your teeth and move.

  A family of dozens of people, young and old, had no choice but to dismiss the servants and find a small building like a matchbox to live in. Life is not comfortable, and Zhou Tao is depressed.

  There are only a few hundred taels of precious banknotes left in his hand. This is the last piece of wealth.

   At this time, what else can I do?

He went to the bank with the banknotes that day, but he saw that the bank was crowded with people, and there were many people who came to run on them. Many people were afraid that they would not be able to get back the gold and silver. They were extremely anxious and pushed hard. .

  Although the bank has repeatedly assured that there will be sufficient gold and silver for everyone to exchange, people are still anxious.

   What happened in Beijing in the past few days made everyone startled. Many people have their entire wealth in this bank.

  Looking at the chaotic crowd, Zhou Tao felt secretly happy. On the one hand, he was worried that he would not be able to get back his gold and silver, and on the other hand, he wished that the Xishan Bank would collapse.

  …

  In fact, the bank's deposits are about to be emptied.

  Because the printing of precious banknotes is equivalent to gold and silver, but with the continuous surge of asset prices, there are still bubbles.

  That is to say... the precious banknotes are actually printed with a much higher value than the reserve gold and silver.

  Suddenly so many people exchanged with precious banknotes, this is nothing more than worse for the already hurting Xishan Bank.

  At this time... Zhu Xiurong, who was dressed in plain onyx, arrived at Chen Ji Firm in a carriage.

  Chen Ji Trading Company is engaged in the business of car dealerships, with a large scale, and it is a leader in the capital and Jiangnan.

  Because of this kind of transaction, the cash flow is huge, so there are countless treasures in hand.

   Around the carriage, there are several eunuchs and dozens of guards.

  Hearing that Her Royal Highness the Princess came to the door, the whole Chen family was extremely surprised.

  So, Chen Shang, the head of the Chen family, hurriedly led his sons to the middle gate to greet him.

  Zhu Xiurong walked slowly to the hall and sat down gracefully.

  Chen Shang served carefully, guessing Zhu Xiurong's intention.

  Zhu Xiurong casually sipped his tea.

  She has shed tears now, but she still looks haggard.

   Immediately afterwards, she slowly opened her mouth: "The Chen family is one of the best in the car dealership, but I heard that there are some difficulties in business now?"

  Chen Shang hurriedly said: "Yes, there are some."

   "Hey, now is a difficult time for the community. Everyone has difficulties. Although my husband has gone, he mentioned the Chen family before, saying that the husband is smart and that he should make a fortune."

"Ah, Qi Guogong actually mentioned the villain?" Chen Shang was in a complicated mood. In any case, although he had no friendship with Fang Jifan, from the establishment of the new city to the fortune of the Chen family, to a certain extent, Chen Shang kept up with him. It is only after the rise of Xishan that today is what it is, so although he and Fang Jifan don't know each other, they have admired him for a long time.

"It's natural." Zhu Xiurong said lightly again: "My husband passed away, and now at home, there are only orphans and widowed mothers left behind. Alas...Although I am the emperor's daughter, I have already planned that I will be born as a member of the Fang family. , Death is the ghost of the Fang family, now that I am in charge of the family business, there are many things I don't understand, and I need to ask more gentlemen for advice in the future."

   "No... dare not... dare not." Chen Shang hurriedly waved his hands.

   Zhu Xiurong stood up, blessed Chen Shangfu, and saluted.

  Chen Shang didn't dare to accept it, and immediately knelt down and bowed down: "Your Highness, you are a villain, you are a villain."

  Zhu Xiurong said a few more words, he said that Chen Ji Trading Co., Ltd. had contributed a lot to the new city over the years, and he also said that the first seven days were approaching, and he asked the Chen family to pay their respects before he got up and left.

This Chen Shang respectfully sent Her Highness the Princess out of the mansion. Seeing Her Highness's car driving away, he turned his head in a daze, and said to the eldest son Chen Ye behind him: "Hurry up, get him back immediately, the one in our hand More than one million taels of precious notes, not cashed... Hurry up..."

  Chen Ye looked stunned, and couldn't help saying: "Father, why didn't you change it? People say that this precious banknote may not be safe, so it's better to change it back to real gold and silver."

   "You know what a fart." Chen Shang sullenly raised his hand and slapped Chen Ye directly.

He stared at his son with hatred, and said sharply: "You have no wink, you still don't understand what's going on up to now? How lucky is it for the Chen family to come to the door in person? Do you think Her Royal Highness What are you here for now? She mentioned Qi Guogong in the first sentence. What is this? She was born as a member of the Fang family, and died as a ghost of the Fang family. The palace is the imperial court of the Ming Dynasty, at this time, we must not throw stones at Xishan, otherwise, even if Xishan cannot be kept, can she not kill our mere Chen family?"

  Chen Ye was sweating profusely, but said silently in his heart, I see that Her Royal Highness is very polite.

I saw Chen Shang gritted his teeth again and said: "After that, Her Royal Highness got up and bowed to me. She is a noble person, and she is the daughter of His Majesty today. What can I do? What is it, I am worthy of her gift." What is this called? It’s called being rewarded for nothing. If Her Royal Highness salutes a lowly businessman like me for the sake of Xishan, it means that she is determined to protect Xishan at all costs. She can condescend to salute, and she can You are welcome to anyone who does bad things, how many lives does our Chen family have, and can we fight against her? Do you really think that Xishan has been so famous and prosperous these years, and it is only relying on business? He has a knife in his hand!"

  At this time, Chen Ye was finally scared out of his wits.

Chen Shang said again: "During the conversation just now, she talked about some business matters. It seems that she has done her homework. This shows that she has a clear understanding of our Chen family's business. She knows our business. That is to say, everyone can share wealth, but also must share troubles, if you don't share troubles with her, when the time comes, Xishan is over, and our Chen family will have to be buried with her."

"Also... We personally sent her chariot and horses out. Didn't you look carefully? Her chariot and horses didn't go back in the direction of the west mountain, but went east. It's not far to the east. It's rice making. The Desheng company that she is visiting is not our Chen family's surname. I am afraid that in this capital, she will visit any merchant with a name and surname. You bastard, do you understand what this means now? Not sure... This Xishan Bank is really saved. At this time, it’s a disaster. Isn’t this courting death? Let’s pass on the order, we are grateful for the kindness of Qi Guogong, at this time, we should live and die with Xishan, and we are not allowed to withdraw even one or two of the treasures in our hands , By the way, check how much cash is left at home, let's keep some of it ourselves, and send the rest to Xishan Bank to be exchanged into Daming banknotes. It's time now, and we can no longer care about personal gains and losses. Let's do business Yes, one of the reasons is to take a longer view. Now that the situation is like this, it is dead anyway, why not follow the Fang family and find a way out!"
