Sairong Lane, Bank Mansion.

The courtyard in front of them was full of people, all of whom were the shopkeepers of the big and small money houses who came in a hurry, and everyone was full of sorrow, sighing for a long time, while whispering and waiting, waiting patiently, waiting for the results of the negotiation between the bank mansion and the ticket number, the pawnshop, and the printing bureau.

All over the city of Guangzhou, I saw the shopkeeper of the money village to the tea merchant to pursue the loan, but no one saw the ticket number to the money bank, did not see the money village was run on the withdrawal, the tea collapsed, not only the money village, the ticket number can not stay out of the matter, the main object of the ticket number loan is the money village, therefore, the money village in front of the loan, the ticket number is in the back to the money village to chase the loan.

In this case, the bank mansion naturally did not dare to sit idly by, and hurriedly summoned all the shopkeepers of the ticket number money bank and pawnshop printing bureau to discuss countermeasures.

In the meeting hall, Liang Jiemin looked at the shopkeeper of the ticket number in front of him, and said bitterly: "The tea collapsed, the price of tea plummeted, the tea merchant went bankrupt, the tea shop went bankrupt, and the money bank could not recover the loan. And you guys.... ”

As he spoke, he turned his head to look at the shopkeepers of the pawnshop printing bureau who were sitting on the right side, and said: "A large number of money banks have failed, and Yuanqi Bank will inevitably take this opportunity to annex and expand rapidly.

If there is no Yuanqi Bank, you may have a chance, there is Yuanqi Bank on the side, no one can be alone! Now the big guys have to work together to tide over the difficulties, if they have their own calculations, no one can please them! ”

As soon as the words fell, Huang Zichang, the president of the Tea Shop Guild who was sitting at the bottom, opened his mouth and agreed: "What President Liang said is very true. "He came to ask for help from the bank mansion, and Liang Jiemin specially asked him to attend the meeting.

After a slight pause, Huang Zichang raised his voice and said: "Foreigners are used to drinking tea, like Mongolians, now they can't do without tea at all, except for our Qing Dynasty, foreigners have nowhere to buy tea, although the tea has collapsed and the price of tea has plummeted, it is impossible for foreigners not to buy tea this year!"

England buys as much as 400,000 quintals of tea from Guangzhou every year, and Citigroup also has 100,000 quintals, which shows that foreigners consume 500,000 quintals of tea every year.

Let's just say how much silver is 500,000 quintals of tea worth? According to the calculation of 20 taels of silver, it is 10 million taels of silver, and the East India Company can allocate 10 million taels of silver to hoard tea when it goes bankrupt? This is simply nonsense! Even if the company hoards it, it will be 100,000 quintals when it breaks through the sky, which will not affect the export of tea in the Qing Dynasty this year.

As long as it slows down, the price of tea will inevitably rebound, because the UK suddenly raised the import tax on tea, the price of tea may be difficult to reach thirty, but twenty taels and one quintal, it is absolutely no problem, as long as the price of tea can stabilize at twenty, tea merchants can come back to life! ”

As he spoke, he stood up and shook his head and said, "The old man is here to implore you to work together to help, don't cheapen foreigners in vain." ”

The hall was quiet, no one dared to say anything rashly, this involved millions of silver, no one knew the bottom of their hearts, a bad one, it might drag down the collapse of their own family.

After being silent for a long time, seeing that no one was silent, Liang Jiemin sighed, looked at Zhang Shijie, and said, "Shijie, go to the gate and take off the plaque of the bank mansion." ”

"Huh?" Zhang Shijie was stunned for a moment, and after being sure that he heard correctly, he hurriedly stepped forward and knelt down, kowtowed, and said, "President, don't do it!" ”

"Go!" Liang Jiemin shouted in a deep voice: "From now on, there will be no more bank mansions in Guangzhou, will they be conspicuous?" As he spoke, he commanded: "Jing Yuan, you take someone to open the treasury and return the bank's treasury reserves to the bank." ”

Is this really ready to break up? The shopkeepers in the hall were all frightened, stunned, Tang Jingyuan's face was pale, he didn't dare to speak, he couldn't tell whether Liang Jiemin was really angry, or he was acting to force everyone to express his position.

Seeing that Tang Jingyuan and Zhang Shijie did not move, Liang Jiemin stood up suddenly, glanced at everyone with sharp eyes, and said: "Shaft, lack and strategy!" As he spoke, he flicked his braids and strode away.

The hall was full of people who couldn't come back to their senses, and no one expected that the deliberations would come to such a result! The bank mansion actually wants to take off the plaque and break up!

Pushing open the door of the meeting hall, Liang Jiemin, who was pale, walked to the steps and looked up at the sun, and said in a deep voice to the servants guarding the door: "Go, move the ladder to the gate." ”

Seeing that his face was pale, he was extremely angry, how dare the two servants say much, and hurriedly trotted forward to find the ladder, and the hearts of the treasurers in the courtyard sank, although they didn't know what the president was going to do, but looking at his face, they knew that the talk must have collapsed! One by one, they couldn't help but worry and talked about it.

In the hall, Tang Jingyuan pointed to the shopkeepers of the ticket number, and reprimanded angrily: "Yuanqi Bank, the ambition of the wolf, can force the bank mansion to take the plaque today, and you can also force your ticket number to take the plaque tomorrow!" As he spoke, he turned around, pointed to the shopkeepers of the pawnshop printing bureau, and said sharply: "And you, without Qianzhuang, why are you fighting with Yuan Qi!" ”

The shopkeepers in the hall are all looking at each other, silent, and no one knows whether the bank mansion is making a show, or is it playing for real?

Zhicheng Ticket Number Guangzhou Branch teller Tsuji Kuan looked at Wang Dechang with a worried face, and said: "Wang Shopkeeper, Rishengchang Ticket Number Shanxi Ticket Number Niu Er, you can get an idea about this matter, once the plaque of the bank mansion is taken off, Guangzhou Qian Zhuang is a plate of loose sand, and the situation will be even more unbearable!" ”

Wei Fenghou ticket number Fan Qigui also echoed: "If Guangzhou Qianzhuang is a large-scale bankruptcy, I am afraid that the loss of our ticket number will be greater." ”

"I don't think so." Tianchengheng ticket number Ren Tiande said in a deep voice: "With Yuanqi stirring up the situation on the side, no one can clean up this mess in Guangzhou." ”

"The old man disagrees." Huang Zichang, president of the tea shop, said: "The depression in the Guangzhou market is not good for the Thirteen Banks, and Yuanqi is still lending on a large scale these days, and the tea merchants are no exception, which is the best proof." ”

Wang Dechang glanced at a few people and said: "The amount of money involved in Guangzhou is huge, and it can be said that it affects the whole body, so we have to be cautious..." As he spoke, he looked at Huang Zichang and said, "I also bothered President Huang to invite President Liang back, and this matter must be discussed carefully." ”

Seeing Wang Dechang's mouth, he relaxed, and the shopkeepers of the pawnshop printing bureau opened their mouths one after another, urging Liang Jiemin to come back.
