    ? Shanghai, Miaoqian Street, in front of the former Huilianhao Miaoqian store, was crowded with people, drums and gongs, lions dancing in the south and colorful flags waving, creating a festive atmosphere.

    However, if you take a closer look, you will find that there are many strange emotions mixed with this celebration The rumors are full of half-truths and half-false. After the spread of the newspapers, worries and uneasiness are rapidly fermented, and people are all worried about their property safety.  Therefore, on the eighth day of the eighth day of the eighth month of August, all the people were looking forward to it. In front of the original stores of Huilianhao and Rishenglong, like this store, it was crowded with worried people.

    When the auspicious time arrived, firecrackers crackled in front of the store. The shareholders of the Royal Bank and the manager of the Shanghai branch joined hands to lift the red silk on the door, revealing a plaque with gold letters on a blue background.  The Royal Bank Shanghai Miaoqian Sub-branch finally opened for business amidst applause and cheers.

    However, before the store staff such as shareholders and shopkeepers woke up from the joy of the new opening, people poured into the store like a tide, rushed to each counter, and demanded cash withdrawal with their passbooks held high.

    Most of the people who go to the front counter to ask for payment are certificates of deposit of around 500 taels to 800 taels. The slips are not too many, but it can't stand the crowd.  They didn't give a reason, and the buddy couldn't ask the reason. Fortunately, the higher-ups had already foreseen that there would be a wave of redemption when the door opened. In order to stabilize people's hearts, they had prepared three million taels of silver.  So after verifying that it was correct, the clerk opened boxes of brand-new official silver, took out neatly stacked fifty taels of big ingots, and paid them to the depositors in full.

    Seeing that the people in front had successfully cashed in, the mood of the depositors suddenly stabilized a lot, and the shareholders and shopkeepers who had been trying their best to appease the depositors in the lobby were secretly relieved.  But before he was relieved, he brought it up again The buddy came to report, and a big depositor came to the VIP passage in the backyard and demanded to pay.

    That person brought five carts, ten porters, and a dozen bodyguards, and handed over seventeen silver bills to the cabinet, totaling two hundred and eight thousand taels of silver.  Cashing out such a large amount of silver requires prior approval, and it would be a big trouble for the bank to come to the door without saying hello.

    Seeing that something was wrong, the steward in charge of the VIP business said with a smile on his face, "Please invite the distinguished guests to have tea inside and have a rest. I'll call the shopkeeper over right away."

    "It's easy to say." The man nodded, and Xu Bu walked into the reception room with two bodyguards, drinking tea calmly.

    Upon receiving the report, the shopkeeper felt that something was wrong, said hello to the shareholders, and rushed to the back to receive it in person, and politely said, "May I ask what your name is, sir?"

    "My surname is Qian, begging for money!" The man said with a half-smile, "This shopkeeper has a tight face."

    "Xiao Ke was originally in the Yangzhou branch, and was just transferred to take over the store." The shopkeeper said with a smile.

    "May I ask your surname?"

    "My surname is Wang, and my name is Benchang." The shopkeeper Wang said, "I heard that Mr. Qian wants to cash in silver?"

    "Yes." Mr. Qian nodded and said, "Two hundred and eight thousand taels, including ten Huilian tickets and seven Risheng tickets, please check with shopkeeper Wang."

    "No hurry, no hurry." Shopkeeper Wang poured tea to Mr. Qian and said, "The tea served in our shop is all good Mingqian. Please try it, Mr. Qian."

    "I'm in a hurry to see the money, but I can't drink it." Mr. Qian didn't appreciate it.

    "Is this" Shopkeeper Wang is also used to wind and rain, still smiling and said: "More than 200,000 cash in silver, which is more than 12,000 catties, and more than 4,000 big ingots, it is very inconvenient to carry" See  Mr. Qian took out a cigarette from his pocket, and he hurriedly lit it for him and said: "Although my name has been changed to the Royal Bank, the purpose will not change, and the service can only be improved. When doing business, we must always serve our customers.  Make a good plan, so much cash is inconvenient and unsafe to carry, so I will take care of it on my account. I don¡¯t know what Mr. Qian wants to use for raising this huge sum of money, but let¡¯s see if it can be remitted there, or according to Mr. Qian¡¯s designation  Wouldn't it be much easier to change the ticket separately?"

    "Thank you for your attention." The person surnamed Qian took a puff of cigarette, and said lightly: "This money has a helpless use, and I can't tell you. All in all, I have to do it when they specify that they want cash in cash. I also know how to move it."  It's bulky and unsafe, so I brought a car and people."

    Having said that, it is already very face-saving. Besides, whether it is a bank or a ticket number, to put it bluntly, it is a place for others to keep their money. How can they control the use of other depositors?  If shopkeeper Wang babbles again, it will be discrediting his own gold-lettered signboard, so he can only sneer and say: "How to arrange this money is your freedom, but this amount is really not small. According to the usual practice, you have to pay it one day in advance."  Just let us know."

    "I'd like to notify you in advance, are you open? Besides, there is no express regulation, so you can't withdraw large amounts of cash on the same day, right?" Mr. Qian pulled his face down: "I willThe man was shaken awake.

    It was the steward at the front desk who came to call him, and he said angrily, "Shopkeeper, wake up, something has really happened!"

    "What did you say?" Shopkeeper Wang said, still confused, rubbing his sleepy eyes.

    "The gates have not been unloaded, and the depositors are already queuing up." The manager's report reported.

    When shopkeeper Wang heard this, the remaining sleepiness disappeared without a trace. He hurriedly got up, washed his face in a hurry, and rushed to the shop, only to see the shop assistants looking up at the wall clock hanging high on the wall.

    The clock pointed at 8:50, and the door would be unloaded in ten minutes.  The passage of time is as uncomfortable as a death row prisoner waiting to be executed, but no one dares to propose to open the door early, because everyone knows that opening a minute earlier may mean the outflow of tens of thousands of taels of cash  In this precarious time, every cash must be saved.

    However, ten minutes was up soon, and the chime of the time awakened everyone who was in a daze. Shopkeeper Wang stomped his feet and gritted his teeth: "Open the door!"

    Just as a man removed a door, the crowd rushed in like a tide and squeezed him to the ground. The others shouted: "It's going to kill! It's going to kill!" and rescued him.

    When the scene started, it was chaotic.  Fortunately, the police from the prefect's Yamen in Shanghai arrived in time, and finally stabilized the situation under threats.

    Zhang Butou, who was leading the patrol, walked into the shop bang-bang, wearing big shiny leather boots, and said in Shandong dialect: "Who is the shopkeeper?"

    "It's me!" Shopkeeper Wang hurried over to pass the cigarettes.

    Catcher Zhang took the cigarette, put it in his ear without smoking, and said, "You shopkeeper, don't cause trouble for the owner. Quickly move out the money and send him on his way, so as not to ruin the market."

    "There is plenty of money. Mr. Zhang, please maintain order, and come one by one." Seeing Zhang Butou's badge, shopkeeper Wang said with a smile on his face, "I won't let the brothers suffer in vain."

    Seeing that he was still on the right track, Catcher Zhang nodded, and then raised his voice and said, "Don't worry, you have plenty of money, come one by one!" Finally, the depositors were lined up in a long line, and the line went up to a dozen or so on the street.  Husband.

    With the government in charge, the customers are quieter, and the tellers have been instructed in advance to move as slowly as possible.  Many depositors use passbooks to withdraw deposits and need to settle the interest, which is even slower. The six people standing at the counter only deal with forty or fifty customers in an hour, and the money withdrawn is less than 100,000. It seems that the situation is OK.  Steady.

    But around noon, at the VIP counter in the backyard, more than a dozen big households came together and said in unison that they wanted to withdraw money, and each of them had a lot of passbooks in their hands.  Add up to a total of more than three million taels!

    Shopkeeper Wang was sweating profusely at the time. Fortunately, Shanghai was still very hot at this time, so he was able to cover it up.  He wiped his sweat, forced a smile and said, "You are all distinguished customers of our bank, why bother to withdraw cash? If it is useful, our bank will issue bank notes, and the handling fee will be waived!"

    But everyone disagreed: "We only need cash!"

    "I don't know what you want to use for raising so much money?"

    "It's safe to hide at home, okay?" All the rich households said angrily, "Why are you talking so much nonsense? On the back of this passbook is written 'as you exchange and withdraw'!" "That's right, the wealthy households all over the beach are looking at us  , don't try to renege on your debt!"

    "That's what you said," shopkeeper Wang said with his facial muscles twitching, "When did Rishenglong default on our debt?" In a hurry, he uttered the original store name¡ª¡ª
