The capital of Qingqiu Country, Qiuyuan, is a bustling city that attracts nearly all the young people filled with dreams from the entire country. Here, the housing prices are hardly lower than those in a first-tier city in Huaxia.
Even in the more remote areas, it's likely that 1 million Huaxia currency can only buy you a rough, unfurnished apartnt of about twenty or thirty square ters.
The people of Qingqiu Country do not hold such traditional thinking; for them, renting is equally a viable option. Many people even choose to rent for life, rather than touching those soaring housing prices.
But in the center of this city, skyscrapers still stand tall, with the most representative being the headquarters of Qingqiu Bank located in the city center.
This is a landmark building locally. Qingqiu Country, rely a speck on the world map, but this year, Qingqiu Bank entered the top 50 of the global 1000 banks list, and even its US Dollar foreign exchange reserves made it into the top ten.
From this, one can imagine just how large this bank is!
In the president's office of the head bank, a portly middle-aged man was listening to his secretary report on this quarter's financial statents.
The secretary was a very tall woman with the standard face of a Qingqiu country movie star, exuding a captivating charm all over. Of course, many people knew that there were so unspeakable secrets as to why this woman was able to sit in the position of the bank president's secretary.
"Boss, our bank's total savings volu has increased by 8 trillion Qingqiu Currency this quarter, a significant increase compared to the last quarter, and we are expected to potentially break through the 10 trillion mark by the end of the year."
"Hmm, continue," said Piao Guanzhi, the president of Qingqiu Bank, who kept glancing at his secretary, his thoughts not at all on the report.
"President! You're so bad!" the secretary noticed Piao Guanzhi's heated gaze.
"Hahaha, aren't you the one who likes
this way the most?" Piao Guanzhi revealed a sleazy, lecherous smile, "Tonight, my wife is not at ho..."
"Then I'll co to your place tonight!" The secretary put the report on Piao Guanzhi's desk and sat on his lap.
"Boss, you've been in a really good mood lately!"
"Of course! The savings rate in our bank keeps on increasing. How can I not be happy?" Piao Guanzhi's hands began to rove restlessly.
"Yeah, it's quite strange. Starting from over half a month ago, our bank's savings rate suddenly skyrocketed by quite a bit, almost doubling. Our bank didn't make any announcents, and the increased interest rate was very marginal. Could it be related to so new policy the country released recently?"
"Hahaha, policy? This blessing cos thanks to a young person from Huaxia!"
"There's such a story?" The secretary beca extrely curious, "I don't really follow the news from Huaxia."
"This happened in Huaxia, but the news has spread all around the world," Piao Guanzhi said, "The world's wealthiest man Poladi went to Huaxia for a al with an entrepreneur and t a Huaxia youngster nad Zhang nglong. He claid that the financial crisis of the last century was caused by that young man's grandfather."
"Is there such an absurd story?" The secretary's eyes widened in disbelief. How could one person topple the global economic system? It seed impossible unless it was war. But how could one person cause a war?
"Poladi said that the grandfather of this Zhang nglong caused serious inflation by emptying banks from many countries around the world, followed by a series of consequences."
"No one would believe such a thing, right?"
"Ordinarily, nobody would believe it if it ca out of soone's mouth, but these words were spoken by the world's wealthiest individual. Recently, this matter garnered quite a bit of attention in the world's economic circles!"
"What does this have to do with our bank's savings volu?"
"Hehe, that is the wisdom of us Qingqiu people!" Piao Guanzhi said, "Our economists claim that this economic crisis has nothing to do with the Huaxia people at all, it's caused by the new economic model our country has established. Now that this economic model has matured, it is ready to be officially deployed in developing our national economy.
The people of our nation believe it, so naturally, they are willing to take their money out and invest."
"Hahaha, how naive they are!" the female secretary laughed.
"Once the money is in the bank, it's ours to manage. No matter the outco, it doesn't concern us. If anyone's to bla, it's those economists, hahaha!"
"But didn't that Huaxia youth have any reaction?" the female secretary asked curiously.
"It's all just hype. What's he supposed to react to? Is he supposed to prove his grandfather actually caused an economic crisis? Well, he should give us one, then! Forget about the entire world's economy—our Qingqiu Country's economic system is now as solid as rock. With our substantial foreign exchange reserves, not even a whole country could easily take us down.
"Boss, whether our country's economy is as solid as rock, I don't know, but you've definitely beco unshakable!"
"Hahaha! There's nothing pressing today, why don't we warm up a bit first?" As he spoke, Piao Guanzhi's hands beca increasingly restless.
"Thump, thump, thump!" Just at that mont, the door to the president's office was pounded with an urgent knocking sound.
"What's going on? Who is so inconsiderate?" Piao Guanzhi lost half his mood instantly, tidied up his clothes, and his secretary quickly picked up the report again.
"Co in!" Piao Guanzhi said in a not-so-friendly tone. Whoever was looking for him at this ti was really walking into the line of fire, weren't they?
"Manager Kim, what's the matter?" Seeing that it was his trusted aide, Piao Guanzhi's face softened a bit. Otherwise, with the two of them looking flushed and embarrassed, any normal person would have known what had just happened.
"President, sothing's happened!"
"What could possibly happen? Don't rush , haven't I told you many tis? If the sky falls, I'll hold it up. Take your ti and explain!"
"No, President, the sky has really fallen—our bank is out of money!"
"Out of money? How is that possible?" Piao Guanzhi stood up abruptly.
A bank running out of money was in itself a laughable matter, as Qingqiu Bank was the largest bank in the country. If they were out of money, wouldn't that be even more ludicrous? He had just been listening to his secretary report this quarter's savings volu; was this so kind of joke?
"Manager Kim, we Qingqiu people do not celebrate Huaxia's April Fool's Day. This joke isn't funny at all."
"President, I'm not joking!" Manager Kim was almost driven to tears, "Since the bank opened this morning, a lot of people have been coming to withdraw cash at our branches across the country."
"Isn't that normal?"
"But they're withdrawing tens of millions or even hundreds of millions in cash at a ti!" Manager Kim continued, "The Level Three banks nationwide have already been emptied of cash, all are asking for support from the next Level Two, and even six Level Two banks have been cleaned out. Now they're turning to the head office for help!"
"How could this be?" Piao Guanzhi was dumbfounded, "Who are these people making withdrawals?"
"President, all the people are exclusively Huaxia people!"
