Even if the loan is lost, it is within the scope of the Austro-Hungarian Bank. Besides, Serbia is also mortgaged, and the possibility of loss is very low.
There were also newspaper reports before, and it also caused the citizens of Vienna to sigh that the banks are so rich. As for the nuances between the Austro-Hungarian Banking Group and the Austro-Hungarian Bank, few people noticed it.
This time Fuhu Chunqiu's brushwork was very successful, and the concept was blurred. In addition, after the outbreak of the economic crisis, all kinds of gossips were flying all over the sky, and if they were believed, the sky would fall.
Well, this is just the beginning, and this uncertain news cannot shake everyone’s confidence in the Austro-Hungarian Bank.
A few days later, another Viennese tabloid published a piece of news: The Greek government suffered heavy losses after the economic outbreak, the government is about to face a crisis of bankruptcy, and the Austro-Hungarian bank may not be able to collect another loan.
The loan amount this time is not that big, and the total sum of zero and zero is only more than 20 million kronor. But this time the problem is obviously much more serious, and the Greek government is indeed on the verge of bankruptcy. (Historically, the Greek government almost went bankrupt, but it was handed out by the great powers and it was impossible to declare bankruptcy until 1898.)
The senior officials of the Austro-Hungarian Bank are now in a meeting to discuss whether or not to save the Greek government. In fact, this issue does not need to be discussed.
Due to political and economic considerations, it must be rescued. The current Greek government and Germany and Austria still have close relations. And even if Austria-Hungary does not participate, other powers will interfere.
At the end of the 19th century, large international financial loans were linked to politics, and the Austro-Hungarian Bank was no exception.
Austro-Hungarian Bank is now mainly discussing what to get next? How to help the Greek government survive the disaster? You must know that the Greek government can basically mortgage almost the same. The reason for the financial bankruptcy in 1898 was because there was no collateral.
This time, the Austro-Hungarian Bank reacted more obviously. President Widos immediately held a press conference to refute the rumors and announced the unanimous principle of the powers. The five major European hooligans will intervene. You can rest assured and don't listen to rumors. The Greek government will not go bankrupt, and the most important thing is that the loans of the Austro-Hungarian Bank will not be unwashed.
This news is indeed exciting. Since the outbreak of the economic crisis, the stocks of Austro-Hungarian Bank, which have been falling, have rebounded.
Widows is in a good mood now. To be honest, Austro-Hungarian Bank has developed very well under his helm, but the economic crisis broke out and all industries have been affected.
Austro-Hungarian Bank is no exception. The stock price has been falling and he is under great pressure. Now it has finally rebounded. Does this mean that the crisis is over?
But Vhuhu did not let his good mood last long. The Vienna Daily published another bad news: something went wrong in the Ottoman Empire!
In fact, it’s not a big deal. In the late 19th century, the Ottoman Empire was peaceful for a few days. What counts as a peasant uprising in a mere mere town? Even if there are more people participating this time, it will be suppressed soon! Besides, the Hardenberg family and the Ottomans are also centuries-old rivals, and the impact on Austria-Hungary is really not great.
Well, the Austro-Hungarian Bank was hit again this time. In the chaos, several employees were accidentally injured and lost some property by the way. The mere tens of thousands of crowns are not worth mentioning.
But the power of the rumors is immense. Fuhu readily magnified the amount hundreds of times and published it in a street newspaper.
But out of concern for the Ottoman Empire, this rumor spread quickly. Then the newspapers in Vienna followed one after another, and the intelligence officers decisively brought a rhythm. Everyone began to guess how much the Austrian Bank had lost this time!
From a few million to tens of millions, there are speculations and opinions vary. In order to gain the attention of others, newspapers even boldly speculated that the Austro-Hungarian Bank lost several hundred million.
Well, this kind of speculation of hundreds of millions is estimated that only idiots will believe it. President Wicks immediately called a press conference to announce the loss in an attempt to reassure people. It is publicly acknowledged that the Austro-Hungarian Bank did have trouble in Ottoman, but the loss was only 80,000 kronor.
Obviously it was self-defeating this time, and the citizens of Vienna said one after another: If I believe it, I will be a fool!
Who called the Austro-Hungarian Bank in order to show its strength and give people a feeling of wealth. According to ordinary people, it is normal for the Austro-Hungarian Bank to have eight million in the Ottoman Empire. How can it be robbed and killed without losing eight hundred and eight million?
If Vickers knew what the people thought, he would spit on them. The Austro-Hungarian Bank is very rich, but it is not so arrogant that it can put thousands of dollars in a branch, and the Vienna headquarters is almost the same!
No matter there are so many people, just think it is reasonable! The Austro-Hungarian Bank must have suffered heavy losses, otherwise why would they hide their losses. People are so unpredictable, the more they think about it, the more terrifying it becomes. At this time, the intelligence personnel begin to take the rhythm again.
Vienna street
Rady is an ordinary intelligence officer under Ferdinand, of course he does not know who he is working for.
He is still very satisfied with this part-time job. I usually go to work normally, and occasionally I only need to spread a few messages, and I can get rich remuneration. It is easy and simple, and there is no danger.
As for who the employer is, he doesn't bother to care. Anyway, you only need to use your mouth to make money. Training has been specially organized at the top. In order to reduce the risk of exposure, the spread of news is generally only a guess.
In his opinion, this is a lot, who would pay attention to a small person like him. And so far, judging from the tasks he has received, Ruddy believes that this is a capitalist biting a dog, and he is very happy about this kind of thing.
"Hey, Carlo UU Reading www.uukanshu.com, have you made a deposit in the Austro-Hungarian Bank?" A middle-aged man in his forties and slightly obese walked over and Rudi took the initiative to beat him. Hello.
"Of course, Radi! You know that the current economic environment is very bad, and those small banks may go bankrupt from time to time! The Austro-Hungarian Bank has always had a very good reputation, although interest rates are low, but safety is guaranteed!" Carlo said with a smile
"God! Didn't you watch the news? Austro-Hungarian Bank's foreign investments have failed one after another and are about to go bankrupt!" Radi said in surprise.
"How is this possible? The Austro-Hungarian Bank is a well-known big bank in the world, how can it be bankrupt if it is strong?" Carlo said in disbelief
"How do I know if it is broken or not? Anyway, the Austro-Hungarian Bank has lost a lot of money recently, and the newspapers have said it. You don’t know the current situation in China. There are factories closing every few days. Who knows how many bad debts Austro-Hungarian Bank has on hand? Even in a big family business, I can’t withstand such a toss!
Rady said lightly
"That's what you said! The economy is indeed sluggish now. The machinery factory where the boy Boluo used to stay has gone bankrupt. I heard that he still owes a lot of money to the bank! Look at it, do I want to hurry up? Take it out, more secure?" Carlo said hesitantly
"I suggest you take it out! Losing a little interest is better than losing everything. Are there fewer banks going bankrupt in Vienna now? Who knows if the Austro-Hungarian Bank can survive this time? This is a loss of tens of millions. !" Radi continued to overweight
"Well, I was thinking about it!" Carlo said with a painful expression
……
The same thing happened on the streets of Vienna more than one thing. After many people were fooled, they consulted with relatives and friends, which inadvertently affected more people. The rumors intensified and the run crisis broke out.
