Traveling through the Tang Dynasty: Peerless Village Girl

Chapter 291
Huitong Bank is spread all over the country, and the shopkeepers assigned to each place are either talented and loyal subordinates, or the children of the clan. They work hard to manage the affairs of the bank, which makes Huitong flourish.

The big shopkeeper of Tongguan Bank is his own younger brother Situ Qing, who manages a branch of Ruoda and is quite successful.

However, bad news came back from Tongguan now. Situ Qing was fond of gambling, owed a lot of debts, embezzled public funds to gamble, and used imaginary numbers to cover up his deficit. Until two days ago, a big client came to raise a sum of money. The cash and the bank's deposits were not enough to pay. The news spread and the whole city was in an uproar.

"Damn it!" Situ Mingyuan crumpled up the note in his hand with a livid face, and shouted, "Notify all the elders in the clan to hold an urgent meeting."

All the senior members of the Situ family joined the emergency membership, and when they heard about Tongguan, they were all pale and bloodless, angry and anxious.

"Third Uncle, bring a batch of cash and rush over there immediately, and have someone bring that bastard back to me!" As the head of the family, Situ Mingyuan issued a series of orders, "Sixth Uncle, notify the island near Tongguan Branches in the government, prepare cash as much as possible, and provide support when necessary."

Private banks in ancient times relied on a good reputation to survive. Once the reputation is not good, it will definitely affect the entire bank. The Tongguan matter is not a trivial matter. It is not only related to the reputation of Huitong, but also to the interests and future of the Situ family. The entire Situ family took urgent action, and important members were sent out one after another, rushing to the field at high speed.

Situ Mingyuan sits in Chang'an, and ordered people to closely monitor every move of Chang'an Bank. He was worried that the news about Tongguan would affect the Chang'an head office.

Three days have passed, and there is no abnormality in the daily cash deposits and withdrawals of the Chang'an head office. The fast horse who rushed back from Tongguan brought back the news that the third uncle rushed to Tongguan with a large amount of cash and cashed out the panicked emergency cash withdrawal of the customer. Eliminated some bad influence, Situ Qing has been escorted back to Chang'an.

In the Tongguan branch, there are still a large number of customers queuing up in a long line every day, scrambling to withdraw cash, Huitong suddenly has an accident, and they are worried that their hard-earned money will be wasted. Of course, they have to raise it. This is also a normal psychological reaction.

In the short term, it is impossible to eliminate this bad influence. The only thing we can do is to try our best to stabilize old customers, prepare enough cash, and satisfy customers' cash withdrawals to the maximum extent.

As long as we can meet the cash that customers put forward due to panic and worry every day, this kind of fear will gradually disappear over time.
