Chapter 994 An Accident at the Tokyo Branch (Fourth Update)
Edo Castle, Tokyo Branch, President Qian appointed by the Ministry of Finance is busy with his head.The Tokyo branch encountered a new crisis not long after Dayuer left.

"Have you found Manager Wang?" President Qian anxiously paced backstage at the Tokyo branch.

"No, he has disappeared for several days. His home is empty, and he may have fled with the money." An employee who returned from Steward Wang's house was sweating profusely, and his tone was also full of anxiety.

"Damn it, when he asked me to take his leave a few days ago, I thought he was just taking a normal leave. I didn't expect that he caused a terrible disaster and ran away with the money!" President Qian said angrily. huge crisis.

Moreover, this crisis did not come from the outside, but from the inside, which made President Qian ashamed.

A while ago, there were cases of tax evasion and bribery of officials of the Eastern Company by some businessmen in the Japanese trade. President Qian was afraid that someone from the Tokyo branch would also be involved in this case, so he started an internal self-examination of the Tokyo branch.In the end, it doesn't matter if you don't check, after a check, one of the stewards was alarmed, and he ran away with the money before the incident happened.

The current system of Kyushu Bank is like this. Under the head office in Beijing, there are also branches such as Tokyo Branch, Nanjing Branch, and Liaonan Branch.Below the general manager are branch managers, stewards, and general staff.The steward is already a middle-level cadre.

"President, what should we do about this matter? If the higher-ups know, everyone in our Tokyo branch will probably be dismissed." Everyone in the Tokyo branch was in a state of panic when they found out about this.

The other managers were sweating profusely. They didn't know that their colleagues dared to do such a thing, and they just stabbed the sky into a basket.

"If we don't report it to the superiors, how can we find the disappearing Wang Guanshi? He really dared to do such a thing. Doesn't this put us on the stove?" President Qian It can be said that he hated the disappearing Wang Guanshi to the bone.

"Let's search again in Edo Castle. If such a thing is reported to the head office, we will be finished!" Several stewards and other ordinary employees were almost crying.

"Look? Dongying is so big, how can we find a person in our branch? He might have escaped into the sea by boat. And those debt collectors are outside..." President Qian's scalp tingled when he thought of the consequences.

A group of people in the Tokyo branch sighed, not knowing whether to report to the head office in Beijing.

"It would be great if Da Yuer was still there. She has always been very accurate about the accounts. The time when Manager Wang started committing crimes was after Da Yuer left. It seems that he was also afraid of being found out by Da Yuer, and did not dare to do so until after he left. Do it."

"Where do you think Guanshi Wang has the courage to do such a thing? Could it be that he is really related to the convicted tax evader?"

Some employees murmured privately.Some of them are big-hearted, and President Qian and a few stewards will support him when the sky falls.

President Qian thought for a long time, but still made up his mind: "Take the government's special telegram route and report this matter to the head office. No matter what the above opinions are, we need to bravely take responsibility and all the consequences."

Several managers were silent. They walked out of the Tokyo branch with President Qian. There were many businessmen outside waiting for the results. When they saw President Qian and several managers of the Tokyo branch come out, they rushed to meet them.

"President Qian, Guanshi Wang gave us a loan of 1 taels of silver in the name of the Tokyo branch, and also received a deposit of 1000 taels of silver from us. However, the loan of 1 taels of silver has not been secured, and Guanshi Wang is nowhere to be found. How can this be done?" said a Chinese businessman doing business in Japan.

"I also gave Manager Wang 800 taels of silver as a deposit, and he promised to grant us a loan of 5000 taels at a low interest rate. This is a loan approval letter with the Tokyo branch's seal."

"Wang Guanshi promised us that he is willing to sell us 3000% of the Edo Textile Factory at a price of 10 taels of silver. I don't know if it counts."

Other businessmen said one after another, which made President Qian and others feel troubled.

Before the accident, Guan Wang made a lot of promises to merchants trading in Dongying in the name of the Tokyo branch, defrauding these merchants of more than tens of thousands of taels of silver, and the amount promised to the merchants was as many as 10 taels, which made the Tokyo branch unable to fulfill these commitments.Even whether to help Steward Wang fulfill these promises is a headache for President Qian and the others!
"Don't be impatient, shopkeepers. Our Tokyo branch will properly handle the case of Mr. Wang. Mr. Wang disappeared for no reason. There must be something wrong behind it. We need to report it to the head office first, and then we can solve the problem for everyone." President Qian said.

"President Qian, we all trust your Tokyo branch. If we hadn't seen the seal of the Tokyo branch, how could we have believed what Manager Wang said? If the Tokyo branch doesn't handle this matter properly, I'm afraid it will chill my heart. "Everyone said.

"Since you have seen the seal of our Tokyo branch, our Tokyo branch will definitely give you a satisfactory answer." The reason why President Qian has a headache is because the Tokyo branch also has a lot of responsibility for this incident.

Guanshi Wang used the seal of the Tokyo Branch, causing many businessmen to mistakenly believe that he represented the will of the Tokyo Branch to issue loans and sell assets held by the Tokyo Branch. As a result, the first financial fraud incident occurred, and it was not properly handled. Kyushu The bank will lose its prestige.

Tadaki Abe of Edo Bank looked at the people from the Tokyo branch rushing to Yokohama Port to inform the mainland head office, showing a smug smile.He already knew the importance of credibility to the bank, and this time he wanted to take advantage of Dayuer's departure from Japan to destroy the Tokyo branch and expel the Kyushu Army's financial influence in Japan.

At present, the bank notes issued by the Tokyo branch have threatened the shogunate's minting rights.The bank notes of the Tokyo branch can be freely exchanged for gold and silver, and the transaction is convenient, so many Japanese merchants began to use them widely.Once the right to mint coins is plundered by the Kyushu Army, the shogunate will be unable to control the country's economy, and the consequences will be disastrous.

"Officer Wang has fled to Hokkaido with our assistance, and it is impossible for the Kyushu Army to find him." A samurai said to Tadaki Abe.

"This is not enough, kill him, sink to the Hokkaido fishing ground, let him be buried in the belly of the fish, so that everything will be safe. I will see how the Tokyo branch responds to this crisis." Abe Tadaaki felt a sense of revenge.

Da Yuer used the means of a run to bring down his Edo Bank before, but this time he also used the means of a crisis of confidence to fight back against the Tokyo branch.There is a problem inside the Tokyo branch, let's see who else dares to trust them in the future.
