Unlike the Akasaka Imperial Palace in Tokyo, the Chung Hwa Detective Academy, which was originally completely Europeanized, has evolved into a completely Chinese-style building. The newly built Inspectorate is no longer on the side of Xuanwumen Street, but on the Long Live Mountain behind the Forbidden City, and the former Inspectorate will return to the old view of the Ming Dynasty - become the City God Temple in the capital.

Such a big change has made many people complain, the Westernization faction believes that the Inspectorate is the highest authority in China, and the power comes from the people rather than the king, what is the reason for moving to the Forbidden City? And the retro faction insists that the monarch is the lord of all peoples, and there is a mystery courtyard behind the Forbidden City, what kind of system is this? The two factions were noisy, but the plan was approved by the previous Inspectorate, so they had to pinch their noses and accept it, but when it was completed, everyone was shocked by the style of the new Inspectorate.

The new temple seems to be a wooden building of Chinese-style pavilions, but in fact it is made of 33,000 tons of steel and more than 15,000 tons of bronze, and its main hall is similar to the prayer hall of the Temple of Heaven, even if the circular hall of 3,600 square meters is divided into two circles, and more than 800 representative seats are set up in the inner circle. Inside, the ancient trees of the Wansui Mountain where the Inspectorate is located, the greenery, the proper royal forest garden, and the entire Wanshou Mountain except for the northernmost Huangshou Palace, the rest are under the jurisdiction of the Inspectorate, in addition to the meeting, the delegates can also walk without being disturbed by reporters.

The combination of classical and modern technology makes the old man no longer have any, although the old Mystery House has not been demolished, but no one wants to return to the original corner to leave and suffer. Especially in winter, when I have a meeting, I have two fire cages under my feet, and my whole body is still cold. It is even more necessary to fight with the opposition party, that situation. Frail people simply can't stand it.

It is said that this interrogation meeting will not only have newspaper reporters, radio reporters, but also television camera reporters -- Jingshi Television has been established two years ago, color television was invented six years ago, and every word he says will be transmitted to the outside world in an instant, and the outside world is not only depositors or property owners, once he has something wrong in language. In public opinion, there will be another verbal criticism.

"It's not time yet, let's eat something first." Chen Guangfu, who came with him, carried milk, chocolate and luncheon meat from outside. These are all privately provided by their own people - the representatives who are the masters of the people's own affairs are extremely crazy to question, and it is not uncommon for a consultation to drag on for four or five hours.

"I can't eat it." Zhang Kun was full of worries, and Yang Rui had already spoken: it would be fine if the questioning was over, but he understood that the questioning would not be so easy.

"Eat a little bit anyway, those old men are very difficult to entangle, and it is said that Ma Yinchu from the household department is also in it." Chen Guangfu stuffed the luncheon meat that he had opened into his hand, and he opened the other one, took a bite and said with a smile: "Does this taste good......

Luncheon meat is mainly produced in Northeast China and Mongolia. The former has more grain bean dregs so more pigs, and the latter grazing has more cattle and sheep, and now the meat in the north is supplied to the north and south of the country by frozen containers, but the raw materials for making luncheon meat are by no means good meat. Zhang Kun, who has represented the Northeast for several years, obviously knows this. He put down his luncheon meat and ate only milk and chocolate, but soon there was a knock on the door: it was time.

The interrogation meeting was held in the Bao Zheng Hall, and Zhang Kunfu was blinded by the camera's flash as soon as he entered. In a daze, he saw a reporter in the crowd carrying a bellows to him. When the reporters tried to ask questions, the officials of the Inspectorate immediately stopped them. The leader of this inquiry meeting, Qiao Diansen, a representative of Shanxi, saw that the scene was a little chaotic, and immediately knocked on the gavel. shouted a few words: 'Silence', and the scene returned to its previous order.

Similar to the yamen of the former Qing Dynasty, the questioning lords all sat on a long steel platform that was a large section high, and behind the nameplate, the old men did not move. Zhang Kun didn't have a seat, so he could only stand on the first podium in the middle of the long platform, waiting for the old man to ask questions like a prisoner. The first to ask a question was Chen Jingdi, a Zhejiang old man, who coughed and said: "This representative has always been puzzled about why the stock market crash happened last year, and I also asked General Manager Zhang to give a more detailed account of it." ”

"Your Excellency: The U.S. economy affects the whole world, and the world's economy and finance affect each other, and after the collapse of the New York stock market, it will naturally affect the Shanghai stock market, and it is inevitable that there will be a sharp fall." Such foreshadowing questions are the basis for the sharp questions that follow, and Zhang Kun is careful not to contradict the answers that follow.

"That's it?" Chen Jingdi was obviously dissatisfied, "The stock market fell by more than 100 points, and Mr. Zhang's office finished in one sentence." ”

"Your Excellency: This is the fundamental reason for the sharp drop in the stock market, and Britain, France, Germany, Japan and other countries have also fallen very badly, not only in China. If there are other reasons, it is that Chinese people are extremely good at gambling, and when they can make money, they often have a lot of pressure, which has been proved by the Shanghai rubber stock trend 20 years ago. ”

It's okay not to mention the rubber stock trend, but Ma Yinchu, who was sitting on the high platform, felt uncomfortable, especially the one he believed was the initiator of the stock market crash at the end of the Qing Dynasty, standing in front of him. Ma Yinchu was like this, Chen Jing also felt dissatisfied, he coughed heavily, and said a little angrily: "Mr. Zhang, how can you blame the Chinese people for the reason for the stock market crash?" Isn't this related to the increase in the reserve ratio by the National Bank after the stock market crash? This representative is like knowing, why did you want to raise the reserve ratio of the bank at that time? Do you know how many families died in the stock market crash last year? ”

"Your Excellency: It is not terrible for the stock market to plummet in the economic crisis, even if the real estate market in Shanghai, Beijing and Tianjin or even the whole country is not terrible, as long as the shareholders or landlords are not borrowing usury to speculate in stocks and houses. Again, I have to insert that many speculators who committed suicide by jumping off buildings during the stock market crash last year were borrowed from loan sharks to speculate in stocks. Therefore, as a regulated bank, I must ensure that depositors' funds in banks large and small across the country are not illegally lent by banks to these speculators for stock speculation.

That's the scariest thing. The stock market has plummeted, and speculators will naturally ask banks again to borrow large sums of money in order to drive up the stock price, and the banks have violated the rules before, which is a blessing and a curse. will also follow the speculators to gamble, and these funds invested in the stock market in the stock market will only be muddy cows into the sea, without a trace. Therefore, the National Bank of China is raising the reserve ratio at this time to prevent more money from being borrowed into the bottomless pit of the stock market. Once this happens, the hollowed-out banks will not be able to face a run on depositors. Bank failures would leave tens of thousands of families with nothing. On the one hand, there are speculators in the stock market, and on the other hand, there are thousands of households, and in line with the most basic principles of the National Bank, I can only choose the latter. ”

Zhang Kun answered this question well, so that the reporters standing on both sides burst into small applause, but he still stared at the old men on the long platform, since these old men planned this question, it would naturally not make him feel better.

"Mr. Zhang, since you know that thousands of families will suffer after the bank goes bankrupt. So why did Huzhou Silk Bank deliberately downgrade its credit rating when it suffered a run, so that the run was even worse, and the bank eventually went bankrupt and liquidated? It was still Chen Jingdi who was asking, but it was obviously not his problem, he was holding a piece of something and reading it.

After the collapse of the New York stock market, the U.S. economy, which is a major consumer of silk fabrics, suffered a major economic setback, and China's silk industry was of course greatly affected, and the credit rating of Huzhou Silk Bank was reduced. It is the proper meaning of itself, and there is no suspicion of falling into the well. The credit rating is just seeking truth from facts, and its position is not that of any bank but of the entire financial community, and that the failure is not due to a low credit rating. The failure was due to the fact that the bank had reached the end of its rope, and it was impossible for the National Bank to deceive depositors and the entire financial community from the bank's standpoint, and the credit rating was only responsible for the facts. ”

"But it was the State Bank's downgrade of Huzhou's credit rating that caused a bigger run?" Chen Jingdi was originally a director of Industrial Bank. He was worried that the State Bank would also downgrade the bank's credit rating, so he was a little entangled on this issue.

"Your Excellency: If Huzhou Silk Bank fully complies with the Banking Law. No amount of the run will bring it out of business. But since he collapsed, it means that the National Bank is right to downgrade his credit rating. Zhang Kun said.

"But this is also due to the fact that the National Bank suddenly lowered its credit. This is tantamount to encouraging depositors to go to the bank for a run; And I heard that the relationship between the State Bank and the Bank of Huzhou has never been harmonious, and this is a matter of falling into the ground. ”

"Your Excellency: Huzhou Silk Bank is under the jurisdiction of the Shanghai Administration for Industry and Commerce and has nothing to do with the State Bank, except that 20 percent of its deposits are deposited with the State Bank as reserves. And the rumors in the market have also said that Huzhou Bank has helped the revolutionary party launder money, but who can believe it without evidence? Zhang Kun said.

"Don't talk about it left and right, please ask General Manager Zhang to directly answer whether there are old grudges with Huzhou Bank?" Chen Jingdi was extremely dissatisfied with Zhang Kun's answer, and took Qiao Diansen's gavel next to him and struck it fiercely.

"Your Excellency: There are no old grudges." Zhang Kun's eyes blinked, and he replied honestly.

As if knowing that Zhang Kun would say this, Chen Jingdi smiled imperceptibly on his face, and asked, "Who are you?" ”

"Huh... My lord, it's my father. Zhang Kun was sluggish.

"What about Jinyuan Ji Qian Bank?" Chen Jingdi hurriedly asked again, looking at Zhang Kun's gaze.

"Your Excellency: That's the money bank that my father ran in his early years." Although Zhang Kun coughed, his voice changed.

"General Manager Zhang, do you know who caused the collapse of Lingzun Qianzhuang back then?" Chen Jingdi then asked, with an imperceptible smile, like a fox stealing a chicken.

Zhang Kun was sluggish again, and the reporters on both sides stared at him, and he coughed: "Your Excellency: At that time, it coincided with the financial trend, and after the Fukang General Account was closed, the money bank ticket numbers in various places were implicated in this and went bankrupt a lot. ”

"General Manager Zhang's office is afraid that there are some things that have not been said." Chen Jingdi shook his head, looking like an outsider, "Mr. Xu Chunrong, the ancestor of Mr. Xu Baochu, the general office of Huzhou Silk Bank, was the culprit who crushed Lingzun Jinyuan Ji Money Village back then. The money industry circle is so narrow, and Mr. Zhang's office has always been filial, so he shouldn't forget his father's hatred, right? ”

Chen Jingdi shook his head and said word by word about decades of grievances, which made the reporters present very excited, they were extremely enthusiastic to point the camera at Zhang Kun, in the dazzling flash, it seemed to take a picture of his every expression, at this time the scene was a little chaotic, but this time no one shouted 'silence'. There was a mess inside, Chen Guangfu, who had been listening outside, was only in a hurry, a colleague for more than 20 years, he knew very well that the old family affairs were Zhang Kun's obscure things, and now the obscure things were actually made public by Chen Jingdi in public, and the stimulation of Zhang Kun can be imagined.

"I'm going to make a call!" Chen Guangfu said to the secretary beside him, and soon disappeared into the corridor at a rapid pace. He was extremely worried that Zhang Kun would not be able to suppress his emotions and mess up this interrogation meeting, so he wanted to find someone to make trouble - Qiao Diansen, who presided over this interrogation meeting, had promised to sell face in private and take the opportunity to help. However, when he returned from the call, he only heard a commotion in the interrogation hall, and his secretary's face was also red.

"What's going on?!" Chen Guangfu asked uneasily, he suppressed his heartbeat, and listened carefully to the voices in the hall.

"First...... Sir...... the Vienna Credit Bank collapsed! The secretary looked like a drowning chicken, and said the news in disbelief.

"Where's the news?!" Chen Guangfu's eyes lit up, and his hands clutched the secretary's shoulders.

"It's ...... inside" The secretary pointed inside, and Zhang Kun had already come out at this time.

"What's going on?" Chen Guangfu let go of the secretary, looked at Zhang Kun and asked in a low voice.

"Let's go back first, we're busy." Zhang Kun had a lot of beads of sweat on his forehead, although the muscles on his face were still tight, but his eyes were shining, and his pace was also fast, throwing off the reporters behind him a few steps.

"Chen Jingdi, that old thing, calculates me." After getting in the car, Zhang Kun lit a cigarette before he opened his mouth to talk about the things inside, "I really can't answer this question, I don't know if it's filial piety, and I say that I know that I have a personal vendetta in the communiqué, but at this time, the phone suddenly rang, and after Qiao Diansen answered the phone, he said that Austria's Vienna Credit Bank had collapsed." He suggested that the inquiry would be over for the time being, and that we should go back and think about how to deal with it. ”

"That's it?" Chen Guangfu unconsciously waved his fist, feeling that this thing had come by too much coincidence - the Vienna Credit Bank was equivalent to the Austrian central bank, and once it failed, it would be equivalent to the fall of the first domino.

"I don't know!" Zhang Kun's previously suppressed excitement was also fully displayed at this time, and the cigarette was extinguished by him as soon as he took two puffs. "As soon as Austria falls, Germany will be next, and as soon as Germany falls, the Bank of England will not be able to hold on." Speaking of this, he suddenly raised his head, "Go to the airport immediately, go back to Shanghai, we are going to win!" (To be continued.) )
