Since the run on the bank, Gaoyi bank has not begged depositors not to withdraw money, second, did not ask the Hong Kong government for help, and third, did not contact HSBC. Finally, it has reached the extreme of "amateur". Now it is the first to launch the ATM business, which can only be described as "alternative".
However, in the strong contrast between the anxious team of tellers on one side and the high-tech equipment for automatic withdrawal on the other, ATM has attracted so much attention that TV stations have given on-site interviews.
You know, in the current era when video capture equipment in the TV industry is still very bulky and film has not been completely upgraded to videotape and broadcasting car, the cost of on-site interview is not low.
In the camera lens of BTV, in front of the ATM of Gaoyi Bank branch next to Jindong supermarket in Yau Ma Tei, Kowloon, several young white-collar workers are eager to queue up to use the service.
The female reporter, who was still dignified in the scorching sun, invited a man who had successfully withdrawn money through ATM to stand in front of the camera, "Sir, is your process of using ATM smooth? Is it difficult to operate?"
The young man, who seemed keen on trying fresh food, proudly showed off his quick acceptance of new things. "What's difficult? Just insert the card and follow the instructions."
The female reporter continued to ask, "do you have any views on ATM service?"
The other party said excitedly, "it would be nice if all banks in Xiangjiang provide ATM services. At that time, they can not only use and withdraw at will, but also don't have to work so hard."
At this point, he pointed to the people who were still waiting tirelessly to withdraw money from the window of the business hall of Gaoyi bank, "look at them. They are lined up and sweating in hot weather. It is estimated that they can't even care about lunch."
The female reporter nodded, "thank you for your interview."
……
Henry kaiserk and Simon kaiserk, two gentlemen brothers, did not take the ATM card suddenly played by Gaoyi bank to heart. At most, they moved Gao Xian's idea of grandstanding and diverting attention. They were busy making representations to the securities regulatory office, the acquisition and merger Commission and other relevant regulatory agencies, glad that the consortium to which the industry belongs had major financial problems, The acquisition of land should be invalid.
In fact, the Hong Kong government is very big. Today's Xiangjiang is not the original small fishing village. Today's era is not a closed one. As long as you dare to play tricks, it will inevitably lead to unpredictable disaster consequences. It is not too much to describe it as threatening the commercial reputation that Xiangjiang has not easily established.
Take Hong Kong Governor MacLehose for example. It is not difficult to understand why he no longer sees Henry and Simon kaiserk. Hong Kong Governor MacLehose thinks Jardine has been used to enjoying special treatment for a long time and has caused great trouble to the Hong Kong government for his own interests.
This long-term habit of enjoying special treatment left Jardine's business a loophole of being acquired. When it couldn't fight head-on, it played tricks by all means.
Although there is no conclusive evidence, people with a clear eye know that the sudden run on Gaoyi bank is inseparable from Jardine.
The attitude of governor MacLehose represents the ideas of a considerable number of senior British officials in the Hong Kong government, and obviously becomes the majority compared with the positive governance energy of Jardine.
To put it bluntly, Jardine's excessive demands, unscrupulous means and disorderly trouble have bored the ghost guy himself.
Therefore, the Hong Kong government's response to Jardine's attempt to invalidate the acquisition of land by happy industries is to be business as usual and decide the outcome by your ability. Don't let your mother and your wife fall into the river at the same time. You're in a dilemma about who to save first.
Henry kaiserk and Simon kaiserk worked separately all day. After meeting at Wenhua hotel in the evening, the former frowned and said, "the breakthrough is still at Gaoyi bank. As long as Gaoxian's money bag is broken, all problems will be solved."
Simon kaiserk clenched his teeth and said, "Gaoyi bank is silent and rigid. It looks unpredictable. I'll recruit some more people to mix with the withdrawal crowd to build momentum."
Henry kaiserk warned, "be careful, don't get caught."
Simon kaiserk laughed disdainfully. "There is no shortage of people doing dirty work in places like Xiangjiang. Each head is given hundreds of yuan, not to mention queuing up at the bank. People are willing to do it at the upper reaches of the street."
……
This evening, Gaoyi bank still did not hold a media communication meeting to publicly explain the loss of deposits all day. It seems that it should carry out its indifferent attitude to the end.
The media didn't make a fuss about this. Anyway, ATM, a new topic, is enough to support the material needs of newspaper layout and program content.
No matter which side the media sit on, they are very surprised. They only heard that Huifeng bank and Standard Chartered Bank are studying ATM services. Unexpectedly, Gaoyi bank, which was upgraded this year, has become a bank. However, the media's praise of Gaoyi bank does not seem to help ease the depositors' run on Gaoyi bank.
On the fourth day of Gaoyi bank's run, depositors who withdrew money at all outlets of Gaoyi bank still seemed interested.
The noisy people in front of the Kowloon Branch of Gaoyi bank,. I didn't notice that a pair of the bright little eyes were watching them from a hidden window with the an excellent perspective.
The fat man in his twenties hiding behind the curtain is no one else. It is just Wang Jing who has not graduated from college for a long time. He was introduced to BTV by his father Wang Tianlin, who is a director of Shanghua culture.
This year, BTV was poached by Jiayi TV with high salaries. Wang Jing didn't go with the tide, so he had a place in the slightly empty BTV.
At this time, Wang Jing appeared here because Shanghua culture wanted to find some trusted, smart photography professionals who could suffer in this hot day to capture some abnormal behavior in the depositor team waiting for withdrawal for Gaoyi bank. Wang Jing can be regarded as a family source and can play with photographic equipment, so he was recommended by his father Wang Tianlin.
Wang Jing, who married this year at a young age, is suffering from great family financial expenses. Naturally, she is happy to take up this well paid job.
To capture evidence for Gaoyi bank, we still consider skills very much, because the camera capacity in this era is very limited. Unlike in the "old script", the storage space of any smart phone will be 64g, 128G, or even 512g, or even more after decades.
Wang Jing carefully observed the crowd below and gradually found a rule. There were a lot of people watching the withdrawal, but two-thirds of the people who really went to the business window of Gaoyi bank to handle the withdrawal business looked like, so that many people were arranged to jump the queue, which seemed to achieve the maximum effect of the run.
"Sure enough, someone is playing tricks in the dark." Wang Jing happily adjusted the camera lens.
……
The run on Gaoyi Bank seems to have originated from a video of Jiayi TV; Four days later, BTV also broke the news with a video and paid back to its peers who dug at the foot of the wall.
In the TV picture with the timeline logo, the audience can easily distinguish who is really withdrawing money and who is bluffing.
The host was also humorous, "is this the trust that Gaoyi Bank found in order to show its business prosperity?"
……
In the luxury suite of Wenhua Hotel, Henry kesek looked at the TV with a gloomy face and said nothing; Simon kaiserk scolded angrily, "these idiots take a lot of money and do things so carelessly!"
Henry kaiserk sighed. "The tide is over. Let's consider how to minimize the loss."
Simon kaiserk certainly understood the meaning of Henry kaiserk's words. After struggling for a long time, he said dejectedly: "happy industry has long spoken and will not accept land shares from Jardine's securities."
Henry kaiserkesi said: "find more securities managers from outside Jardine Matheson securities and deliver them separately to reap Duoli. Even if reap Duoli is aware of it, it will not be strictly guarded like Gaoyi and Xiangji securities."
Simon kaiserk replied reluctantly, "OK, I'll arrange for someone to try."
……
On the fifth day of Gaoyi bank's run, major newspapers in Xiangjiang published shocking headlines one after another.
There is no doubt that the run on Gaoyi bank is a conspiracy!
It is hard to imagine that a battle of life and death without gunsmoke will take place around us!
By a hair's breadth, Xiangjiang banking industry almost followed the great crisis more than ten years ago!
……
In addition to Xiangjiang media's hoarse attention, there are more practical phenomena.
The crowd that had besieged the outlets of Gaoyi bank was no longer strong, and even some branches began to operate normally.
People with different thoughts, just watching, the once hot run on Gaoyi bank is cool!
