"Situ Jie is still in touch, why can't I get in touch? It's almost night, and the trial should be over even if it is delayed!"

The emaciated camel was bigger than a horse. After a busy afternoon, Huo Zhaotang mortgaged his own shares and some land, and obtained hundreds of millions of Hong Kong dollars in cash from old friends and other banks as quickly as possible.

Relying on these cash, Huo's Bank not only safely survived the run crisis of the day, but the remaining cash can be used for two or three days.

This made Huo Zhaotang heave a sigh of relief.

Run, the most dangerous is the first day.

If you can cope with it, you can restore the confidence of depositors, reduce the amount of subsequent runs, and allow the bank to survive the crisis.

If you can't handle it, and you can't exchange money for the citizens who come to withdraw money, then the news will spread to ten and ten, and more people will come to withdraw money. In that case, the bank will be ruined.

different from other industries.

Banks rely on their reputation. With a good reputation, not only can they easily borrow billions or even tens of billions of funds from the market, but they can also allow countless citizens to deposit their money.

If the reputation is over, even if you still have hundreds of millions or even billions of cash in your vault, it will be over as soon as you finish, and the bank will be dismantled by the flock of depositors.

For Huo Zhaotang, the most important thing now is to get back the lost [-] million yuan.

otherwise!
If outsiders know that the Huo Group has lost [-] million Hong Kong dollars, the resulting run will not only be more violent than it is now, but will also cause a chain reaction, from banks and stocks to the real estate of the Huo Group.

For the Huo Group, which puts half of its funds in real estate, real estate is the real lifeblood.

Once the material suppliers collectively come to collect debts, the Huo Group will be required to pay for the materials.

Huo Zhaotang is really over, and the bankruptcy and reorganization are the lightest.

"Boss, it's not good. There's news from the West District Police Station that Director Situ Jie was taken away by the ICAC, saying that he violated police regulations." Just when Huo Zhaotang was worried that he couldn't contact Situ Jie.

The bank manager brings bad news.

"Situ Jie was taken away by the ICAC. It violated the regulations. Which regulation?" Hearing that Situ Jie was taken away by the ICAC, Huo Zhaotang was shocked. This was his biggest official backer.

In recent years, Huo's Group has been able to grow from the bottom, firstly, it is inseparable from its own struggle, and secondly, it is inseparable from Situ Jie's support.

Without Situ Jie, just the harassment from the society would make Huo's group overwhelmed.

"I heard that it is related to your kidnapping, boss. The ICAC suspects that you have a relationship of interest."

"It's related to my kidnapping, damn it!" Huo Zhaotang jumped up when he thought of the ledgers in his safe that gave gifts to Situ Jie and some important people. He had to go home as quickly as possible and destroy the evidence before the ICAC came to his door.

In the past, these things were his life-saving talismans, allowing Situ Jie and those big shots to protect the Huo Group.

Now, this is a death talisman. If the ICAC finds out, those big shots will not only kill themselves, but may even kill their entire family in order to protect themselves.

"Fortunately!"

What Huo Zhaotang worried about didn't happen. He returned home accompanied by bodyguards and found that the ICAC hadn't come to the door. He was relieved and went upstairs immediately. He went to get some things from the safe to clear the relationship.

It's okay for Situ Jie to be unlucky, but he must not be involved.
-
"boom!"

The newspaper deliveryman threw a bundle of packed newspapers into a newspaper box, then started the accelerator, and left without looking back. He needed to rush to the next house.

Lean less!
The head of the household opened the door and came out, looked at the newspaper in the newspaper box, picked it up and read it while walking back, after only a few steps, he was not calm.

Because the headlines on the front page of the newspaper were that Huo's Bank suffered a run on deposits.

The head of the household knew this news yesterday, but the Huo Group has a lot of money and business, and a mere run will not make it bankrupt, so the head of the household didn't care.

But what happened next made the head of the household uneasy.

According to internal information, Huo's Bank encountered a major robbery, and [-] million Hong Kong dollars in the vault were stolen, causing the Huo's Group's funds to break, and it is likely to cut off its tail to survive, causing the Huo's Group to go bankrupt and reorganize.

"Oops, [-] million Hong Kong dollars has been robbed. If it is true, the Huo Group may really go bankrupt. Not good, my material payment has not been settled with the Huo Group. If he goes bankrupt, who am I going to find?" .”

The panic-stricken head of the household quickly looked through other newspapers and found that they were all about this aspect. All Huo's Bank and its parent company, Huo's Group, were about to go bankrupt.

But the head of the household, who wanted no money, hurriedly changed his clothes and drove straight to Huo Zhaotang's house before he even had time to eat. He wanted to get his money back as soon as possible.

As a result, when they arrived at Huo's house, he was not the only one who came. There were also other large and small businessmen, some were material dealers, some were engineering dealers. Without exception, they and Huo Zhaotang had business arrears.

These people came here, without exception, to ask for money.

As for Huo Zhaotang, he went out early in the morning, and everyone who rushed over was in vain. In order to get money, after confirming that Huo Zhaotang was not at home, everyone rushed to Huo's Bank in groups.

Compared with Huo Zhaotang's family, Huo's Bank is in a worse situation.

Originally, because the run was normal on the first day, all the people who went to withdraw money got their deposits. In addition, Huo Zhaotang not only asked the bank to extend the working hours from 7 o'clock to [-] o'clock, but also deliberately asked people to put a large amount of cash in the bank. Bank lobby.

Indicating that Huo's Bank has strong funds, as long as the withdrawal of money is accepted, it gives great confidence to the citizens who wait and see. On the first night, the number of people who came to withdraw money has decreased a lot.

However, after news of the robbery of Huo's Bank's [-] million cash was exposed through the newspapers.

In an instant, citizens and companies with deposits in Huo's Bank were detonated.

What is the concept of [-] million!
If it is said that the big banks such as Hang Seng Bank and Citibank are okay, they are a drop in the bucket, and they can rely on their strong strength to overcome them.

But for a small and medium-sized private bank like Huo's Bank, [-] million can be said to kill him, let alone Huo's Bank, even his parent company, Huo's Group, will not escape bad luck.

At this moment, everyone thought of HSBC.

This is the giant and uncrowned king of Xiangjiang. Because of the robbery of the treasury, he became a bankrupt member, and the blood and sweat of countless citizens were wiped out.

Huo's Bank probably won't be able to withstand it.

So, they came to the door of Huo's Bank one after another. At this moment, they no longer lined up, because Huo's Bank didn't know when it would close down. For their own hard-earned money, they waved their deposit slips and squeezed into the bank desperately, thinking as soon as possible. Get your hands on the money and make the scene chaotic.

As for Huo Zhaotang himself.

After knowing that the newspaper published the news that his own treasury was robbed, he immediately went to the bank to assign tasks to the employees, asking everyone to work hard and try their best to keep the bank.

As a result, Huo Zhaotang became desperate when he saw more and more people coming to the bank to run on the bank, which had already formed a congestion outside, and many material dealers ran to the company to block him.

"Why did Dongfang Group mess with me? I didn't offend Lei Weidong." Seeing the bank manager standing in front of him, Huo Zhaotang roared.

Because the news that Huo's bank was robbed of [-] million Hong Kong dollars was first reported by a newspaper under the Eastern Group, which let Huo Zhaotang know who was messing with him.

"Maybe, it's because we blocked the way of the Eastern Group." The bank manager lowered his head and guessed.

"Being the Taoist of the Eastern Group, I'm not Huo Daheng, how could I be the Taoist of the Eastern Group." Huo Zhaotang said with a wry smile when he heard this.

Xiangjiang has two Boss Huo.

One is Huo Zhaotang. Although this guy is rich, he is ungrateful and ungrateful. He is even more stingy than Wang Yifei. He often colludes with associations to obtain land use rights from the citizens at a reserve price, and then builds some bean curd buildings and sells them to the citizens.

Earn huge profits in the middle.

Not to mention being popular among the citizens, even in the upper class, the word of mouth is not good.

Let alone the other one, he is not an ordinary billionaire businessman, but a red-capped businessman, the top figure in Xiangjiang.

He has money but doesn't love money, he does things not only with loyalty, but also with righteousness, he is the best friend in the Mainland, and his status in Xiangjiang, let alone Huo Zhaotang, a small man.

Even Lei Weidong fell behind.

Although Lei Weidong's investment in the Mainland has been much higher than Huo Daheng's over the years, his relationship with the Mainland is still not as good as Huo Daheng.

the reason is simple.

Lei Weidong started to invest in the mainland at the end of the 80s. Although it is not a icing on the cake, it is not a timely gift.

Daheng Huo was different.

In the 60s and [-]s, when people were in the most difficult time in the Mainland, they began to send supplies to the Mainland.

It is said that Huo Daheng sent the earliest penicillin in the mainland, and saved countless commanders and fighters in the war.

This relationship can be said to be a shared weal and woe, accumulated little by little, even if Daheng Huo has retired to the second line, the accumulated contacts can make his family support for decades, it is not something that Lei Weidong can surpass in a short time.

"I don't know, it may be related to Qiu Gangao and the policemen. I heard that Lin Qiaochu, the barrister who reversed the case for Qiu Gangao and others, has a close relationship with the Dongfang Group.

Do you want to find someone to make peace and let the Eastern Group let us go. "

"It's too late to say anything now." Huo Zhaotang looked at the TV in the office. It was a financial TV station, which was broadcasting the Huo's bank run incident live.

Looking at the screen, Huo's Bank's stock price has plummeted. Not to mention the [-]% drop from yesterday's level, it is still dropping to the bottom, showing no sign of stopping.

Huo Zhaotang knew that Huo's Bank's stock had collapsed, and it couldn't be recovered no matter what.

The Eastern Group did not give itself a way out at all.

If you want to deal with the run crisis, you must get a lot of cash.

But now Huo's Bank's stock has fallen into a dog, and no one wants it even if it is mortgaged.

Unless I can get back the lost [-] million.

But Huo Zhaotang knew his reputation in the police force.

After he threw stones at Qiu Gangao and others, his reputation in the police force was already tainted.

If it was before, Huo Zhaotang didn't care.

I am a billionaire, and I am not at the same level as the front-line police. Even if I deal with them, I still contact their leaders. With Situ Jie around, I can mobilize the police force at any time.

just now!

Not to mention Lei Weidong's shadow behind this incident, even without Lei Weidong, those front-line policemen would delay as long as they could, looking at themselves as unlucky. As for Situ Jie, he is really in danger now.

"This is the general manager's office, you can't come in, you can't come in." Just as Huo Zhaotang was complaining about himself and didn't know what to do, there were loud footsteps outside the office.

A large group of businessmen who supplied goods to the Huo Group broke through the barriers of security guards and secretaries, and entered Huo Zhaotang's office to ask for money.

"Mr. Huo, our account should be settled, and our company is waiting for the money to go to the pot." This is pleading.

"Boss Huo, we have been friends for more than ten years. For the sake of our cooperation for many years, we have accepted the money. The old love in the future will still be friends." This is playing the emotional card.

"Huo, give me the money immediately, or I will not only find someone to hack you to death, but also harm your family." This is a threat.

"Quiet, everyone, calm down, the boss is thinking of a way, give us a little time, and you won't lose your money." Seeing the debt collectors swarming up, the bank manager hurriedly stopped them and persuaded them earnestly.

"A solution, there is no other way now!" Seeing the rushing crowd and the crowded crowd downstairs, Huo Zhaotang shook his head and smiled wryly.

In this place of Xiangjiang, there has always been only icing on the cake, not instant charcoal. A wealthy businessman of his size will not only have no one to rescue him when he encounters difficulties, but will also think about stepping on his feet and kicking himself to death to divide up his wealth. .

Huo Zhaotang has seen this too many times in his more than [-] years of business career.

So when he felt something was wrong, Huo Zhaotang sent his wife and children away. Counting the time, they have already boarded the plane to Canada.

Fortunately, here is Xiangjiang, passports can be visa-free for most countries in the world, and European and American countries can go directly by buying air tickets.

Unlike the mainland, you need an embassy to apply for a visa to go to Europe and the United States.

They're gone, and I feel at ease.

Even if the company goes bankrupt, they won't be involved. Although they can't live the life they used to, but relying on the tens of millions left to them by themselves, if they don't lose their fortunes, it's enough to live a comfortable life.

All you have to do is end it all.

"Boss Huo, what are you going to do?" Just when there was chaos in the office, someone suddenly saw Huo Zhaotang climbing up the window sill, and immediately shouted:
"Come down quickly, the money you owe me can give you a little time."

"Hurry up, what's the use of time if you give me time alone." Huo Zhaotang shook his head and said with a wry smile: "I invested in the stock market and real estate in the bank, and lost another [-] million yuan.

Now unless the police can get the [-] million back, nothing will work. "

Huo Zhaotang pointed to the crowded crowd downstairs, and continued: "You don't need to force me, the depositors down there can run the bank and boast, so they owe a whole lot of debt and go to jail and hurt their families. I’ve enjoyed it all, and it’s not a loss in this life.”
