Chapter 1000 The Punishment Is Too Light (Part [-])
"The head office has already replied to us and gave us advice on how to deal with it." President Qian raised a telegram sent from the headquarters of Bank of Kyushu from the capital, smiling broadly.

"Master President, if something like this happened within us, the head office will definitely punish us. Why are you so happy?" The employee of the Tokyo branch didn't know why.

"You guessed it right. The head office in Beijing really issued a punishment notice for us, and everyone present has a share." President Qian said.

"Punishment notices have come down, and the president is still laughing. Could it be that he is so sad that he has lost his mind?" The employees of the Tokyo branch looked at me and I looked at you, and the more they thought about it, the more they felt that it was possible.

"The head office requires our branches to carry out strict self-examination and rectification. All employees' wages will be deducted this month, and officials from the Audit Office will be sent to conduct an assessment at the end of the year." President Qian said.

"What else?" Many employees asked.

"No, that's all about the punishment. Do you know why I'm so excited?" President Qian seemed to be alive after a catastrophe.

"Strange, only one month's salary was deducted for such a small punishment! Impossible, did I hear correctly?"

"This is a matter that will cause the Tokyo branch to go bankrupt, and it is only fined for one month's wages. I really don't know if the headquarters is too lenient or thinks this matter is insignificant."

The employees of the Tokyo branch felt that the punishment given to them by the Beijing headquarters was too light.In the Tokyo branch, there was an incident where insiders fled with money. According to the logic, it is possible for the entire Tokyo branch to undergo a major shake-up.However, the penalty imposed by the head office was only one month's wages, which was tantamount to great news in the eyes of everyone.

"Why did the headquarters impose such a light sentence? The direct loss of our Tokyo branch was tens of thousands of taels, and the indirect loss was several 10 taels of silver. For such an incident, at least a group of people must be disposed of to appease public anger, but The head office has no intention of disposing of us. One month’s salary is just a symbolic punishment.” A group of employees stayed in the Tokyo branch for quite a while, thinking through the meaning behind these notices, and found that the head office did not blame too much they mean.

A month's salary is nothing to the employees of the Tokyo branch who are ready to be fired.As an emerging official financial institution, Tokyo Branch's employees are also the first batch of formal "financial industry personnel", and the treatment is very good.Especially in the early stage, there were very few talents who understood finance, and it was not easy to train the earliest batch of people. Even Chu Yun couldn't bear to punish them.

The case of Wang Guanshi running away with money is a flaw in the management system, and even the shogunate figure behind it manipulated this matter, and punishing unrelated employees will not help.

"So how does the headquarters plan to deal with the matter of Manager Wang?" an employee asked curiously.

Everyone looked at President Qian in unison, and they all wanted to know what kind of countermeasures there were behind the calm and breezy headquarters.

"The headquarters intends to send people to find the whereabouts of Manager Wang. Before finding Manager Wang, all the contracts and treaties he signed with merchants in the name of the Tokyo branch, as long as the conditions are not excessive, will be accepted. All losses will be reported to the head office. The head office bears all losses," said President Qian.

"The head office bears all the losses?!" The employees of the Tokyo branch couldn't help being stunned when they heard that the head office would help the Tokyo branch absorb all the losses caused by the loan treaties and property rights contracts.

The behavior of the head office is simply arrogant, and the direct loss of tens of thousands of taels is nothing but a drop in the bucket for the head office that has absorbed a lot of deposits. These loans and property rights contracts are not a complete loss, and some of the capital can be recovered, so it will not really cause much damage. 10 taels of loss.As long as the head office bears the losses, the Tokyo branch remains unchanged as before.

"Why does the head office help our branch to suffer losses? Is it because we are afraid that our Tokyo branch's reputation will be ruined in this crisis of trust?" a manager asked.

"It is very likely that this is the reason. Although Manager Wang made a personal mistake, he has always signed a contract with the merchant in the name of our Tokyo branch. Some merchants have already made preparations based on the contract. If we deny the previous contract, we will give They bring losses, and at the same time damage the reputation of our Tokyo branch. The reputation of our Tokyo branch as a branch is damaged, and the head office and other branches will also be discredited. Therefore, the head office must keep us when the loss is not large. If The loss has increased tenfold, I think the headquarters will still save the branch, but even if we are innocent, we will be treated as guilty to appease everyone's grievances." President Qian analyzed.

Several managers and other ordinary employees nodded. They also felt that it was well thought out by the head office to bear all the losses.

"What should I do if things like this continue to happen in the future? I am not targeting everyone here, but should take measures to prevent individuals from signing contracts with outsiders in the name of our Tokyo branch." Regarding this matter, the employee who survived the catastrophe We began to consider how to improve the current management system.

In their view, if the bank's management mechanism does not change, there will still be insiders who will take risks.

"The letter from the headquarters has already stated that by the end of this year, the whole bank of Kyushu Bank will carry out reform and rectification of the management structure. The bank has the money bag in its hands and must not have any losses." Face, "We will continue to conduct self-examination, and we must not let things like Wang Guanshi happen again. This time Wang Guanshi will be arrested, but he will be executed."

President Qian knew the severity of government officials and employees. If a businessman committed a crime, he might be sentenced to fixed-term or life imprisonment, but the government employees ran away with the money?In Chu Yun's eyes, there is only one dead end, and once the evidence is complete, he will be executed immediately.

"It would be great if the eldest lady is here. When she is here, the king is submissive. How dare you do such a thing?"

"Edo Bank has recently started to raise deposit rates again. They want to make a comeback. Is it possible that our Tokyo branch will compete with them again? Edo Bank has the support of the shogunate behind it, and Abe Tadaaki, who leads Edo Bank, is getting more and more cunning. The method of interest rate tool competition is also more skillful, and it will be a difficult opponent in the future."

The employees of the Tokyo branch found that Tadaaki Abe of the shogunate had become more mature after being calculated by Dayuer, and he had his own insights into banking business without a teacher.

He was able to replace Tadakatsu Sakai as the leader of the shogunate reformist group in his early thirties. Naturally, he is not an ordinary person. He was defeated by Da Yuer who was armed with money and banking. He learned from the pain and summed up his own set of banking theories. .
