Chapter 485: Taking advantage of the opportunity, the last straw (Part 1)

Some people were happy, but some people were worried. The number of deposits in Tongyuan Banks has exploded, which means that other banks will not receive deposits, rather will receive more people who want to withdraw money!

A depositor in other bank has to pay a storage fee. However, in Tongyuan bank, a depositor not only doesn’t need to pay a storage fee but also will get extra money. Anyone with a bit of brain will know what to chose.

Without questions, other banks received a lot of withdrawal requests. The Futian Bank next to Tongyuan Bank undoubtedly has the worst scenario.

Due to the “specialty” of geographical location, even if some people want to deposit money at Futian Bank, after hearing the introduction of Tongyuan Bank, they cannot help but inquire. After knowing that Tongyuan Bank was jointly being operated by the Cui Family, Xue Family, and Su Family, the people of the East Country was no longer worried about being cheated.

Futian Bank originally wanted to take advantage of the opportunity of Lin Chujiu’s compensation affair to collect the people’s silvers, so as to ease their current predicament. However, not only no one tries to deposit in their bank, but rather they received a huge wave of withdrawal.

This time, the amount was not as petty as before. They used to receive a small amount of withdrawal from ordinary people. They only lose at least 10,000 silver per day. However, today, whether it’s the big merchants or peasants, they all withdraw and exchanged their money. Then, they all go to the Tongyuan Bank next door.

In just one day, their bank took out 5 million silvers. Futian Bank once again lost the money they saved. The manager of Futian Bank cried without tears. To prevent the situation from getting any worse, the manager of Futian Bank, especially took a trip to some large households, who haven’t withdrawn their money. He hoped that they could ease the burden that the Futian Bank experiencing this time.

This idea was beautiful, but the reality was cruel. The manager, who was very confident because he came from the Central Empire, had always looked down on others. He didn’t even put Lin Chujiu in his eyes, so how could he put these businessmen in his eyes?

Before, the manager of Futian Bank never got worried about their bank losing depositors. All the banks in the East Country belong to the Central Empire. The Futian Bank was the face of all banks. So if someone offended the manager of Futian Bank, that someone will not have a chance to deposit money in any bank.

In the past, for the convenience of depositing money, a lot of businessmen didn’t hesitate to say one or two good words to the manager of Futian Bank. So when they heard about what happened this morning, they were shocked, but they immediately understood what was going on.

Monopolizing business was an arrogant move. The East Country has no bank of their own. If the Futian Bank don’t accept their money, then they can only carry boxes with silvers while making transactions. No need to ask about the inconvenience, what’s even more worrying was the security.

But now, the situation reversed, a new compet.i.tor has entered the bank market. The previous one-sided situation has collapsed. Although there were still many people that are afraid of the Central Empire and didn’t dare to refuse to face the manager of Futian Bank, some of them had enough grudge against the manager. They don’t want to have another contact with him, so these people called their housekeeper to send their relatives to take out 1,000 silvers one at a time. There was no signature on the silver ticket. Who knows whose family they came from… …

The manager of Futian Bank thought that because he came to their door in person, those ‘lowly’ businessmen would be scared to fight against him. However, he didn’t think that this action will not suppress the craze of taking out, but rather it will let the people think that the Futian Bank has no more money, so the manager of Futian Bank warned the big merchants not to take out their money… …

As soon as this news came out, the people in the whole capital went mad. The people who were originally waiting for the storm to subside, now also rushed to take out their money, which also affected several nearby towns.

The manager of Futian Bank originally planning to transfer the money of the banks to the nearby towns in their branch. However, even the banks over there were now asking him for help.
