"Huaxia people? How could Huaxia people possibly have so much money deposited in our Qingqiu Bank?" Piao Guanzhi was suddenly perplexed. If they had money, why would they deposit it in Qingqiu's bank? Isn't it good to save money in Huaxia? To deposit it in the bank and make money for Qingqiu? If this were an ordinary time, Piao Guanzhi would have been laughing so hard that he'd be close to tears. No matter which country's citizens were involved, as long as they deposited money in their bank, it was always good news. But once it came to withdrawing money, it would be a nightmare! "Do you have any specific information on these Huaxia people?" "We do, but it's meaningless," said Director Kim. "These Huaxia people are not entrepreneurs or investors. They seem to be the most ordinary people living in our Qingqiu, some even renting their homes. Yet when they pull out their bank cards, not one of them has a balance of less than a hundred million Qingqiu Currency!" "How is that possible? How could these Huaxia people be so wealthy?" Upon hearing this news, Piao Guanzhi could no longer keep his composure. "What's the situation now?" "The situation is very grave. This morning, our bank's deposits have already decreased by more than 200 trillion!" "What? 200 trillion gone in just one morning?" A spasm crossed Piao Guanzhi's face. Their deposits only increased by 700 trillion in a quarter, and now in just three hours, a third was already gone? "We're now running out of armored cash transport vehicles. Banks all over the country are requesting support, and the situation is becoming more severe," Director Kim said. "Apart from those Huaxia people coming to withdraw money, there are also many customers looking to make deposits. As soon as they hear the bank is low on funds, who would dare do business with us!" "Not only that, the news has already leaked out. More and more customers are gathering at the entrance of the bank waiting to withdraw money. They fear our bank might be emptied, and when the crucial moment comes, they won't be able to get their money out. Right now, for them, having cash in hand is what matters most!" "This is bad!" If the news spreads further, it could even lead to widespread panic. Keep in mind, although banks do hold a substantial amount of savings, they operate on liabilities. Their assets are lent out, invested, or used for other purposes. Qingqiu Bank has more than 20 trillion Qingqiu Currency in deposits—can the banks nationwide come up with 20 trillion Qingqiu Currency in cash? Even 10 trillion can't be produced! If panic were to ensue at this time, it could truly cause an explosive crisis. If all the national savers were to surround the bank doors waiting to withdraw money, the bank might even go bankrupt! However, the country cannot just stand by and watch a cornerstone bank go bankrupt. If the bank cannot produce the money, the country would even resort to printing currency to fill the bank's financial gaps. "You're down 18 trillion?" The more calls Piao Guanzhi made, the more his hands trembled. Nearly all of the banks in Qingqiu were experiencing the same issue, and the reserves lost by Qingqiu Bank were actually amongst the lesser ones! "What on earth is going on?" Piao Guanzhi's face went blank, "No, this matter isn't so simple; I must report it to the state's Ministry of Finance!" ... That evening, a private airplane landed at the capital's international airport in Qingqiu Country, and a young man in a thick down jacket shivered as he stepped off the plane. "Achoo! Dammit, what kind of lousy place is this, so cold?" Zhang Menglong grumbled as he disembarked, "So cold I could die. If it weren't for wanting to travel abroad, I really wouldn't want to come here!" After assigning the task to Hong Yi the day before, Zhang Menglong had been planning a trip to Qingqiu Country. Strictly speaking, this was his first time leaving Huaxia, and he wasn't quite accustomed to the foreign air just yet. "Why do I feel that everything here reeks of kimchi?" Zhang Menglong remarked. "Mr. Zhang, what you just ate was kimchi rice cakes." "Oh, is that so? Hahaha, I thought they were pickled vegetable rice cakes for a moment!" Zhang Menglong laughed sheepishly, "Right, how are things now? Are their banks about to go crazy?" "Mr. Zhang, throughout today, Qingqiu Bank's savings have plummeted by 58 trillion, Lianbang Bank by 54 trillion, Hana Bank by 47 trillion, Qingqiu Minsheng Bank by 49 trillion... In total, we've already withdrawn over 500 trillion Qingqiu Currency from the banks." "Ah? Is that all?" Zhang Menglong sounded disappointed, "That's all the money I have?" "Not at all, Mr. Zhang," Hong Yi smiled, "it's not because you don't have enough money. Those smaller banks simply don't have that much cash on hand, and they must pull from Level One banks. But since two o'clock this afternoon, even Level Two banks have been running out, and now the entire Qingqiu Country is frantically circulating cash." "Hahaha, then this scene must be quite spectacular!" Zhang Menglong laughed. "Indeed, they don't even have enough armored cash transport vehicles now!"
