Chapter 74: The Mind Is Almost Demonic
On the other hand, while Su Che was writing a medical book, the money shop owners went to see the prefect Gai Sheng in a group.
When Gai Sheng heard the news, he was immediately happy. He nodded and agreed to meet with the group of bank owners.
In the side hall, a group of bank owners bowed to Gai Sheng.
Gai Sheng asked lazily, "You said you had something important to tell me. To be brief, just tell me what you want to say."
Zhao Junxian, the shopkeeper of Baofenglong Bank, stood up and presented a plate of gold, saying respectfully, "Sir, we came here in a hurry and did not prepare any gifts. This plate of gold is our small gift. Please accept it."
Gai Sheng glanced at the plate of gold. The quality was pretty good, but the quantity was a bit small, weighing only about seven or eight kilograms. For a distinguished person like him, this was really a small gift.
Gai Sheng glanced at the servant beside him, and the servant immediately stepped forward and took the plate of gold.
Seeing Gai Sheng accept the gold, the bank owners and Zhao Junxian immediately breathed a sigh of relief.
Zhao Junxian said, "The thing is, there have been rumors in the city recently that our major banks have misappropriated the depositors' money and deposited it in Chengjin Bank, causing the depositors to become uneasy and start a run on their money. This is a very fatal situation for our bank."
"We have already investigated it clearly. We have witnesses and evidence. This series of rumors was spread by Chengjin Bank in order to drag us down with them. They are worthy of death. I hope that the Lord of the Mansion can handle it impartially and arrest all the offenders of Chengjin Bank and bring them to justice!"
"Please, Lord, save us!"
Listening to Zhao Junxian's words, Gai Sheng nodded and said, "You are right. Although the crimes of slander and slander have been abolished several times, those who cause bad influences should still be dealt with."
After hearing what Gai Sheng said, all the bank owners showed joy on their faces. As long as Gai Sheng was willing to handle it, the matter would be settled, and this bank run would be over!
However, the next second, Gai Sheng smiled and asked, "However, as far as I know, you also spread rumors to attack the Chengjin Bank, which also caused a run on the bank. So according to what you said, should we be punished for the same crime?"
As soon as these words came out, Zhao Junxian's face changed drastically, and a group of bank owners couldn't help but show astonishment. They hurriedly shouted: "Master, this rumor has nothing to do with us. It's a rumor among the people in the market, not spread by us..."
"Please judge for yourself, my Lord!"
Gai Sheng's eyes widened when he heard this, and he shouted, "Do you really think I'm a fool? Do you really think I'm a corrupt official who's easy to fool?"
The Lord of the Mansion was furious, and the bank owners were so frightened that they knelt down one after another, prostrating themselves in front of Gai Sheng, and shouted, "It's unfair, Lord of the Mansion, this is all framed by outsiders, we didn't mean to fool you!"
"You still don't admit it? I think you won't cry until you see the coffin. Come here!" Gai Sheng snorted coldly, and immediately dozens of soldiers came in one after another, waiting to be ordered.
"Lock all these blood-sucking parasites in jail and wait for their execution!"
A group of soldiers responded: "Yes!"
Then they dragged the group of bank owners and shopkeepers away.
These bank owners would never have thought that Gai Sheng had already received the money, but he still favored Cheng Jin Bank! Why?!
They were all distraught and looked at the prefect Gai Sheng in despair.
"You can't do this!"
"Gai Jun, have you forgotten our friendship?"
"I once drank and talked happily with you."
A group of people shouted in despair.
But after hearing this dying cry, Gai Sheng couldn't help but sneer: "Who am I, who are you? Don't you really know your own position? A bunch of lowly businessmen , do you really take yourselves seriously?"
With these bank owners being thrown into jail, it was like the last straw that broke the camel's back. Without any further action, all the banks, big and small, in Nanyang County experienced bank runs, and the run even spread to other counties.
Without any suspense, all the money houses went bankrupt, only Chengjin Money House survived and gained higher credibility.
It's very simple. Other money houses are completely vulnerable when facing a bank run, but Chengjin Money House can repay the money in full, no more and no less. With such a comparison, isn't the gap obvious?
Depositors don’t care why Chengjin Money House can afford to pay while other money houses cannot.
After the bank run, the whole place is in a mess. If you start at this time and reap the remaining assets of this group of money houses, you can definitely make a fortune. As long as you take over their loans and are responsible for repaying the depositors' deposits, this is definitely a business that is sure to make money.
Ji Renyong told Su Che about this matter very excitedly and suggested that Su Che take over the inheritance of these money houses, but Su Che was too lazy to eat it. He understood clearly that some things can be eaten, but some things cannot be eaten.
Ji Renyong didn't understand Su Che's indifference.
But soon, two days passed.
The governor of Nanyang County, Lord Gai Sheng, has spoken out, saying that he wants to solve the problems for the people of Nanyang County and deal with the remaining issues of the money houses. He wants all depositors who are unable to withdraw their money to be able to do so!
The government took over!
These money houses are not like the banks in Su Che's previous life. Most of the investments cannot be recovered in the short term, or even cannot be recovered at all.
They are basically real high-quality assets. As long as the loans extended by the money houses are collected and repaid to the depositors, not only will no money be spent, but a huge profit can be made!
In the past two days, Gai Sheng sent someone to calculate this account to see how much money he could make. If he couldn't make much money, he would definitely not touch it.
If you don’t calculate, you will be shocked. After collecting the loans and returning the depositors’ savings, you can make at least 100 million yuan! Even if there are bad debts and miscellaneous losses in the middle, you can still make at least 70 to 80 million yuan!
At that time, Gai Sheng's eyes lit up. He directly took over the debts of these money houses and was responsible for repaying the depositors.
This move directly changed Gai Sheng's reputation by 180 degrees, and he became the upright ruler of Nanyang County.
The depositors did not care whether Gaisheng was profitable or not before they took action to solve the problem. They only knew that they could finally withdraw the money that they had been unable to withdraw, so they were naturally grateful and praised the Lord of the Mansion endlessly.
When Ji Renyong saw the news, he broke out in a cold sweat and got goose bumps on his back. He was filled with fear. If Chengjin Money House took action according to his suggestion and inherited the legacy of these money houses, it would be a way to his death!
It turns out that these were the prey that the Lord of the Mansion had his eyes on, and no one else could touch them, so the young master had no interest in them at all. He was told to give up the idea as soon as possible. As early as the beginning, the young master had seen through everything!
Then he thought about how the Lord put all those bank owners into jail, maybe it was not only for his savings and interest in Chengjin Bank, but also for his current interests?
The game involved made Ji Renyong terrified. For a moment, he couldn't help but sigh that the young master was only twelve or thirteen years old this year, but his mind was almost like a demon and his vision was so far-sighted. It was really terrifying.
