Li Zhen waved his hand and said, "If you have anything to do, just tell me."
Fan Kai said: "President, our finances are in crisis."
Li Zhen raised his eyebrows, the smile on his face disappeared, and his expression became serious. The financial crisis is no joke. Once the country has a financial crisis, it will lead to a series of problems. In serious cases, it can even cause The country has had a huge impact, causing turmoil in the newly stable state power and affecting the operation of the entire national system.
Li Zhen stared at Fan Kai and said in a deep voice: "Greater China Bank has been operating well, how could there be a sudden problem?" His eyes were like daggers, staring at Fan Kai closely, which made Fan Kai feel good for a while. Heart-pounding.
Li Zhen has been in a high position for many years and has gained official authority.
When he stared at the person, it was as if there was a sharp sword hanging above Fan Kai's head.
With a look of self-blame on his face, Fan Kai said solemnly: "Speaking of it, the main reason for this incident is that I didn't do a good job and was taken advantage of, which led to today's situation."
"What's going on specifically?" Li Zhen asked.
Fan Kai sighed: "The thing is like this. Due to the continuous wars in the past few years, countless amounts of money are consumed every year, and the money stored in banks is gradually depleted. After the unification of the world, taxes have not been collected yet, and countless officials have taken risks. When the government came out, the money consumption once again increased. Coupled with some disasters from time to time, money was spent on disaster relief. Moreover, there were also building courts and supplying the army. A series of money consumption caused the bank's money to be unable to keep up. "
"Actually, the consumption of money is just a crisis, not a big problem."
"As long as people save money, we can keep running."
"But somehow, the news that we didn't have enough money in the bank suddenly reached the ears of a British missionary. At that time, the British missionary spread rumors that our money had been embezzled by officials and that there was no money in the bank's warehouse. After this word spread, it spread like a plague, and people who had deposited money in the bank came to withdraw money one after another. In one day, the bank's cash inventory dropped by one-fifth."
"For two consecutive days, the bank's inventory has been reduced by about half."
"I, Brother Mu and the rest of the bank staff hurriedly refuted the rumors and even arrested the British missionary. However, the rumors had a huge impact on the bank. People come to withdraw money every day, while the number of people depositing money is decreasing day by day, and they can no longer make ends meet. .”
"When Brother Mu and I saw that something was wrong, we urgently summoned all the major businessmen from the Thirteenth Bank of Guangzhou to borrow money from the businessmen to raise funds, which temporarily blocked the gap. However, we still lacked money, so Brother Mu and I I came to Beijing to find the President. On the one hand, I came to ask for help. On the other hand, I wanted to ask the President to rest and recuperate and suspend the war. Otherwise, if we continue to fight, our money will not be able to circulate, so we will have to rely on the people to make decisions. It will hurt the people and destabilize the newly stable country."
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 money bank is currently empty and we urgently need a fund to replenish it. Now we can't raise the money. Now, we can only ask the President to find a way."
After Li Zhen heard this, his brows furrowed into the character "Chuan".
This time, it's the UK again.
Britain, Britain, this country where the sun never sets, is really restless. The last time it initiated the Eight-Nation Treaty, it was intended to restrict its troops from conquering everywhere and prevent Li Zhen from sending troops everywhere. Now, something like this happened again, which made There was a problem with Li Zhen's money bag, which made Li Zhen sigh.
When Fan Kai saw that Li Zhen was silent, he said: "President, I did not investigate this matter and allowed the British to take advantage of it. Please punish me, President."
Mu Zhongyuan said: "It's also my responsibility. I didn't supervise it well."
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "It has happened. It is useless to feel guilty and blame yourself, and it is useless to hold people accountable. What we have to consider now is how to solve the problems encountered. Only by raising enough money can we plug the vacated loopholes."
Mu Zhongyuan's expression softened slightly and he said: "The President is wise."
Li Zhen rolled his eyes and said, "Find a way quickly. Dealing with the financial loopholes is the key."
Mu Zhongyuan said: "Brother Fan Xian and I came to Beijing just to ask the president for some advice. We really couldn't think of a way. We have used all the available methods. Even Fan Xiandi and I have used our family resources. I put in my own money, but it still can’t plug the gap.”
Li Zhen was suddenly speechless and felt deeply helpless.
Damn, he became a firefighter.
Li Zhen quickly calmed down, thought about it, and said: "The only way to collect money is to raise funds. There are many rich people in Guangzhou Thirteenth Bank, and you are one of them. You should have good relations with the rest of them." , can’t we borrow money?”
Fan Kai shrugged and said helplessly: "President, these rich people all have money in the bank. They also know the situation of the bank's disaster this time. They were worried that the bank would collapse completely, so they borrowed money to temporarily block it." Part of the gap has caused the bank to barely operate, but it is still in danger of collapse at any time. Brother Mu and I want to borrow more money, but no one is willing to lend money, lest we can't exchange the money."
"A mercenary guy."
Li Zhen muttered, with a solemn look on his face.
Not being able to borrow money is the biggest problem.
Fan Kai continued: "Now money has become the biggest problem. As long as there is sufficient funds injected into the bank and let the people know that our bank has enough money, the people will restore their trust in us and all the problems will be solved. In the final analysis , it’s because there is not enough money to keep the bottom of the bank, so people can’t find a sense of security.”
Li Zhen's eyes fell on Fan Kai and asked: "Who are the richest people in the country that you know?"
Fan Kai thought about it carefully and replied: "As far as Guangdong is concerned, the most famous one is Wu Shaorong of the Thirteenth Industry. This man is the son of the tycoon Wu Bingjian. He inherited the family business and is extremely rich. In addition, he also has There is the Qiao family in Shanxi. The head of the Qiao family, Qiao Zhiyong, is well-managed and has countless wealth. Hu Xueyan, a businessman from Huizhou, is the most famous and richest today."
Li Zhen said solemnly: "You and Brother Mu will invite all these people to Beijing within a month, before or after the year. I tell them, if you can't come to the soft ones, you must invite the hard ones." , at the same time, the bank must hold on, that is, after more than a month, it will be able to operate at a high speed again."
"yes."
Fan Kai responded and asked: "What clever ideas does the president have?"
Li Zhen shook his head and said: "There is no plan."
The two people were speechless and stared at each other, but they couldn't think of a good plan and could only agree.
