Chapter 142 Hurry up and Print Money
As the chairman of a bank, no one understood better than Piao Guanzhi what these cards represented. Zhang Menglong not only possessed their Qingqiu Bank's black card, but he had even taken those of several other banks.
Would these black cards be without money? Piao Guanzhi wouldn't believe it even if he were beaten to death, as for how much money they contained, Piao Guanzhi didn't dare to think about it.
"Do you intend to allocate cash from the other banks?" Zhang Menglong saw through Piao Guanzhi's thoughts at a glance, and at this juncture, except for this method, he probably had no other way out. But would Zhang Menglong give him this opportunity?
"President Piao, I'm sorry, but even if you summoned all the bank presidents of Qingqiu Country here, you wouldn't be able to get a penny from their vaults, because they are all struggling to save themselves now,"
Zhang Menglong pointed to the black card of Minsheng Bank and said, "This card has 6,666 sub-accounts, with a total savings amount, not much, of 420 trillion Qingqiu Currency."
"This one, the black card of Lian Bank, should have more than 8,000 sub-accounts, with a total savings amount of about 480 trillion."
"And this one, about 390 trillion."
"Oh, this one has more, 12,000 sub-accounts, with a total savings amount of 810 trillion. Two-thirds of their entire bank's savings were filled by me."
"Do you want me to tell you how much money the remaining cards have?" Zhang Menglong looked at Piao Guanzhi with a smile beaming.
Piao Guanzhi and Manager Li's bodies were already trembling.
Zhang Menglong came fully prepared this time! The savings on just these cards already exceeded their bank's total savings. Even if they could mobilize funds through connections to resolve the urgent needs of Qingqiu Bank, what about the other banks?
They were certain that once Zhang Menglong got the money from here, the next target would be the other banks. Could they still mobilize money then?
Zhang Menglong was like a swarm of locusts, leaving nothing behind wherever he passed. Should he make his way through, the bank deposits of the entire Qingqiu Country would be completely emptied.
It wasn't just Zhang Menglong. The withdrawal demands of the ordinary citizens of Qingqiu Country alone could directly cause their collapse.
Once everyone knew the banks had no money, the angry working class would immediately surround all the bank buildings, forcing the banks to hand over cash.
When that time came, businesses would not be able to operate normally, society would be in chaos, and to cope with the frantic public, the country would inevitably have to start the printing presses, wherein inflation would be inevitable.
In a few months at most, the economic system that Qingqiu Country has built over the years would collapse in an instant. Let alone that they didn't really have any economic model, but if there was no penny left, would the existence of this economic model matter at all?
"Mr. Zhang, you don't have to be so aggressive, do you?" Piao Guanzhi's face was pale.
"Aggressive?" Zhang Menglong laughed, "When your idiot economists cursed me, asking me to apologize, why didn't I see you stand up and tell them not to be aggressive? A hypocrite dog, aren't you?"
Zhang Menglong's sarcasm was undisguised, "Isn't your economic model supposed to be superior? The economic crisis was triggered by you, so since you can cause an economic crisis, you must also be able to quell it, right? I mainly want to see, just to learn a thing or two, nothing else."
"Mr. Zhang, this could cause very adverse foreign relations,"
"Oh? Is that so?" Zhang Menglong spread his hands, "I don't know about that. I only know that when I deposit my money in your banks, it is my money, and whenever I want to withdraw it, that's my business. If you have to impose some sort of blame on me, then I can't help it."
"But, what I hate the most is when others threaten me. Your recent words made me very uncomfortable, so now I have decided to add another 200 trillion to the amount I want to withdraw from your bank. If you can't provide it, then I can only go ask your finance department for it. If your banks don't have money, your country surely does, right?"
Upon hearing this, Piao Guanzhi suddenly panicked. If this matter escalated to the national level, it would become almost impossible to resolve.
"Mr. Zhang, please give us some time, the amount you want to withdraw is just too massive. Although we are responsible for the banks, these banks are state-owned, and we probably can't make the decision,"
"No problem, I have plenty of time. I just plan to stay in Qingqiu Country for a while, to enjoy your local customs and look at your beautiful men and women. You don't need to rush, I have the deposit slips here, and you can't run away anyway."
Zhang Menglong, of course, had no intention of settling all matters at once. For him, causing a crisis in Qingqiu Country wasn't the main goal; his main purpose was to send a warning. As for how hard the slap would be, that depended on their attitude of acknowledging their mistakes.
"Oh, one more piece of advice," Zhang Menglong added, "Instead of studying how to deal with me, making me give up on withdrawing, you might as well hurry up and start printing money!"
Having said that, Zhang Menglong actually left with Hong Yi directly.
...
"Hong Yi, what do you think they'll do in the end?" Back at the residence, Zhang Menglong lazily lay down.
"Isn't that obvious? I bet all those bank big shots are huddling in a meeting right now, and they must have even alarmed the people at the Qingqiu Country's finance department. If nothing goes wrong, they'll probably invite you over for tea in a couple of days."
"Tea? As if I'd give them the pleasure!" Zhang Menglong laughed.
He took out his phone. He hadn't checked Weibo in the past few days, and the comments under his post that read "Heard you don't believe me" had already reached several hundred thousand.
"Boss Zhang, did you run away?"
"Weren't you going to prove it to us? Hurry up!"
Your next chapter is on empire
"Didn't you say your family is powerful? They could even trigger a global economic crisis. Stop just drinking and start showing us something!"
"The person above is a total idiot. Based on what we know about Boss Zhang, he must be preparing to unleash a big move right now!"
"Haters are cursing, loyal fans are already getting ready to watch the show."
...
"Really, all kinds of people exist in this world," Zhang Menglong snickered, and he posted his current location, "Sorry, in keeping with the principle of world peace, I won't be causing any major incidents for now. But for some loudmouths, I must teach them a lesson. I'm planning to empty out the money in the banks here."
Afterwards, Zhang Menglong immediately shared a screenshot of his savings in the Qingqiu Bank.
"730 trillion Qingqiu Currency? I... I... uh... uh..."
"Can someone tell me the exchange rate? I didn't get much schooling!"
"Can't you look it up on Baidu? Today's exchange rate between Huaxia currency and Qingqiu currency is 165 times. Do the math yourself, it's over 40 trillion Huaxia currency, more than 6700 billion US Dollars!"
"For real? It's not photoshopped, right?"
"Boss Zhang needs to photoshop? You must be joking!"
"Damn! If I remember correctly, doesn't Qingqiu Bank have only about 20,000 trillion in total? What's he planning to do?"
"Hahaha, I know this one, I work at the bank. Don't be fooled by that 20,000 trillion deposit, they probably don't even have 500 trillion in cash. If Boss Zhang shows up, he could literally bankrupt the bank!"
"Awesome!"
"Hahaha, I told you, Boss Zhang is not the type to swallow a loss!"
"He's starting with Qingqiu Country first huh!"
"I am Bai Jianguo, and I'm already panicking."
"To those troublemaking scumbags, Boss Zhang is killing the chicken to warn the monkeys!"
"Guys, stop scrolling through Instagram, Twitter, and Facebook. You'd better start printing money fast because what will you do when Boss Zhang comes?"
