Chapter 426: On the verge of bankruptcy

The streets of the market, large and small business houses, overnight, as if they had been programmed, were all discussing one thing.
"Eh, have you heard?"
"what?"
"Zhu Family!"
"I heard it, I heard it. Are you saying this is true? That's the Zhu family."
"My third uncle's sister-in-law's nephew's mother-in-law's brother's cousin's brother-in-law's cousin is working as a man in the shop below Cheng'en Bo's mansion. I heard that the shop can't even get a hundred taels of cash. Thousand taels of cash were all taken away by the owner."
"Ah! So the Zhu family really has no money?"
"First I was fined 1.55 million taels, and now the sea ship was robbed by pirates again. That was a loss of millions of taels. No matter how much money the Zhu family has, it can't stand the toss."
"I won't tell you anymore. My mother-in-law saved a sum of money in Zhu's bank, and she has to quickly take it out."
"I have two currency notes issued by the Zhu Family Bank in my hand, and I have to quickly exchange them for cash."
"Go together, go together. I'm afraid that Zhu's house will run out of money if we go late."
"The Zhu family won't go bankrupt, right."
"Who knows."
The ordinary people in the market are worried about their own losses, and they want to rush to the Zhu family bank in exchange for cash before everyone can react.
As a result, when I arrived at the door of the money house, there was a crowd of people, all of them came to run on, so why didn't they react.
I am afraid that everyone in the capital has heard the news of the robbery of the Zhu’s sea boat.
"Hurry up, let's squeeze in."
It is hard to save some money. If the Zhu Family Bank is closed and bankrupt, who will pay for the loss?
The run on the door of the Zhu Family Bank flew into thousands of households like wings. More and more people are running on Zhu's bank with cash deposit receipts.
The crowds are raging, and it is inevitable to trample.
Embroidered clothing guards, Five Cities Soldiers and Horses, and Jingzhao Yin Yayu all dispatched to maintain public order to prevent accidents.
In the Zhu Family of Cheng'en Bo Mansion, the atmosphere is depressing and solemn.
Cheng Enbo Zhuci dragged the sick body and met with shareholders and partners.
The three sea ships that were hijacked cost millions of taels of cargo. Half of the funds came from partners or Zhu's relatives and friends.
When the Zhu family raised funds to go to the sea, everyone was afraid that it would be slow, and they were afraid that their money was too small. The Zhu family would not appreciate it. They all took an active part in equity participation and gave the Zhu family a lot of money to operate.
Now that the ship has been hijacked, how enthusiastic these people were in the first place, now they regret it.
Hundreds of large and small shareholders, Zhu family friends and relatives gathered around Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci, asking for an explanation.
"Uncle, you can tell everyone the truth, is the Zhu family's ship really robbed?"
"You also believe in market rumors. Where's your brain?" Master Zhu Er had a grumpy temper and took the lead to go back.
"There is no impermeable wall in the world. The whole capital is talking about the robbery of the Zhu's sea ship. Could it be that this can't be fabricated out of thin air. It's been a few months now, even if a turtle climbs, it should be back. You Zhu's sea? Where is the ship? Where are the millions of taels of cargo? Say that the ship has not been hijacked, take the cargo out!"
"Yes, hand in the goods."
"Hand over the money."
"Up to now, uncle, you can give everyone a precise word. Has the sea vessel been hijacked? If it has not been hijacked, should the cargo and profits be explained to everyone." Cheng En Bo Zhu's face flushed and was ill. of. He said nothing, his eyes half-squinted.
"What are you guys? My father is willing to see you, it is already enough face. You still dare to persecute my father. Who gives you the courage."
Master Zhu Er rolled his sleeves, and was about to go.
"Second, withdraw."
Master Zhu shouted angrily, "All of you present here are guests of our Zhu family, partners, you must not be rude."
"Brother, these people are bullying to the top, and they spread rumors that our Zhu family's sea boat was robbed, why should we be polite to them. It is polite to not arrest them without a newspaper officer."
With hundreds of partners, Zhu's relatives and friends looked ugly.
Everyone respects Enbo's Zhuci, it does not mean that you will be scolded by your second master Zhu.
Someone had a black face and said, "The rumors about your Zhu family have already caused ups and downs in the city. Your Zhu family has never given you an explanation. Could it be that the ship was robbed? You made up yourselves for the purpose of greedy us. silver?"
"Your Zhu family is really shameless. Wasn't it just that you were fined more than one million and two taels in taxes, and you hit our heads. Deliberately fabricated the news that the ship was hijacked, trying to greet us for money and Goods. I tell you, no way."
"Fuck you shit. It's a mere one million taels. Our Zhu family hasn't paid attention to it. Our Zhu family will not be greedy for your money and goods. Brother, tell them that the ships and goods are now there. Where, tell them all to shut up."
Master Zhu Er's violent temper is really mad at him.
Master Zhu subconsciously looked at his father Cheng Enbo Zhu's resignation, "Father, do you want to say something?"
Everyone looked at Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci.
Cheng En Bo Zhuci opened his eyes, his eyes swept across everyone's faces.
He opened his mouth and was about to speak.
At this moment, a steward ran in in a panic, "Old, old man, it's not OK. The money house..."
"Shut up!" Master Zhu snapped.
"What happened to the bank? Speak clearly."
"You Zhu family don't want to hide it."
The partners and Zhu's relatives and friends all got into trouble.
At the same time, he hurriedly sent the accompanying servant or the shopkeeper to ask for news outside.
There must be something wrong with the Zhu Family Bank.
"Your Zhu family is too shameless, did you spare the money from the bank?"
"Uncle, we all respect you. Over the years, we have been very happy to cooperate with the firm under the Zhu family. This time, please tell us the truth."
"Yes, we need to tell the truth."
"Uncle, we have been following you for many years, spending money and effort, and we have never been unambiguous. You gave an order and we charged forward. Now something has happened, you can't cheat us."
"Uncle, please tell me the truth."
"What's the situation with the ship? Is it really hijacked by pirates? What happened to the Zhu family bank? Is your Zhu family really out of money?"
"Fart! Our Zhu family is so poor that we have money left. You dare to say that our Zhu family has no money, it's a joke."
"Master Zhu Er keeps saying that Zhu's family is too poor to have money left, so dare to be good, my family is too poor to open the pot, please Master Zhu Er to give me my money. I only need the principal, no interest, and no profit."
"Yes, return the principal to us."
"Your Zhu family can have today because of our concerted efforts. Now you want to cross the river and demolish the bridge, there is no way."
"Yes, no way."
"Enough, shut up!"
After the noise for a long time, Cheng Enbo Zhuci finally started to speak.
He scanned the audience, calmly, and said firmly: "The three ships of the Zhu family..."
Everyone is holding a heart, what is the situation of Zhu's sea boat? Hijacked
Cheng Enbo Zhuci replied: "Everything is normal!"
boom!
The group is excited.
"Uncle, do you have evidence for what you said? What about the ship, what about the goods? There is no ship and no goods, somehow there are people. Nothing, how can you tell us to trust you.
"Uncle, you can't talk nonsense."
Master Zhu Er was furious, "My father said that the ship was okay, what do you want? You have to force our Zhu family to admit that the ship was hijacked, so you are happy? What is your peace of mind? Okay. The ship is really going to be hijacked, what good will it do for you?"
"Now we have no good. You said that the sea vessel was not hijacked, then we ask to see the goods, see the money, and ask for the principal to be drawn, but it is not excessive."
"All the profits of those three sea-going vessels will be given to you Zhu family. I don't want it. I only want my principal. Not much, one hundred thousand taels, please pay."
"My fifty thousand taels."
"My thirty thousand taels."
"My 150,000 tael."
Obviously these partners and Zhu's relatives and friends did not believe in Cheng Enbo's words. Firmly believe that the ship has been hijacked.
It doesn't matter if you haven't been hijacked.
Anyway, this year is nothing but hard work, just get the principal back.
Hundreds of people in the hall are noisy, like a vegetable market.
Master Zhu Er rolled his sleeves and quarreled with these people.
As the center of the incident, Cheng Enbo Zhuci half-squinted his eyes, like an old monk entering Ding.
Master Zhu actually had a foreboding, when the rumors came out, he almost believed that the ship was robbed. Only one confirmation left.
He was a little frustrated. When everyone was arguing, he first called the steward to the front and asked quietly, "What's the situation with the bank?"
"Master, there are runs in all the banks under the Zhu family. It is getting more and more serious. Later, the situation is out of control, and the shopkeeper shuts down the banks. Those petty people rioted and directly attacked the banks. If it is not for the presence of Xiyiwei, I am afraid. It is our people who will be trampled to death by those mobs."
Master Zhu's face changed drastically when he heard it.
He looked at his father Cheng En Bo Zhu's resignation, "Father, what should I do now?"
In fact, what he most wants to ask is, how much money is left in the bank?
Did your father vacate the bank?
Cheng Enbo Zhu Ci remained silent.
Master Zhu was anxious, "Father, please tell your son the truth, is the sea vessel hijacked? Is our Zhu family out of money?"
Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci suddenly opened his eyes, his eyes were like torches, staring at Master Zhu with an angry flame.
Master Zhu shivered with fright.
Cheng Enbo Zhuci sternly scolded, "Hugh is so gibberish."
As soon as the voice fell off, the shopkeepers of several partners rushed in and shouted: "It's not good, my lord! There is a run in the Zhu family bank, the Zhu family bank has no money!"
what!
The audience was silent, so quiet as if the pause button had been pressed.
After a few seconds, as if someone had opened the light, the hall immediately boiled.
Everyone stood up from their seats and rushed towards Cheng Enbo Zhuci.
"Pay back, pay back!"
"At this moment, dare to deceive us, are we really fools?"
"Give it money, give it money. Give me my capital."
"The ship was robbed, everyone in Beijing knew about it and wanted to keep it. Your Zhu family is so dark-hearted."
"I think your Zhu family clearly wants us to give you back the pot and want us to die with your Zhu family."
"The Zhu family has a knighthood, so where can you die? They clearly want us to be a substitute for the dead."
"Bo Cheng, you old bastard, pay the money."
...
The whole hall was in a mess.
The guards of the earl's mansion poured in and formed a human wall to separate the emotionally excited business partners and friends of the Zhu family.
Cheng Enbo Zhuci's face was pale and he coughed violently.
It seemed that he was ten years old in a short period of time, like an old man with a stalemate. How can there be a vigorous and well-maintained appearance in the past.
Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci stood up with the help of Zhu steward.
Master Zhu Er is still yelling, "Dare to do something to my father, arrest all of you and throw you into prison, so that you can't eat and walk around."
"Second, don't talk nonsense."
Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci spoke out to stop Master Zhu Er.
Master Zhu Er was very upset, "Father, these people recognize money and not people, they are not good things."
"It's all our hard-earned money, so why not allow us to ask for money?"
"Is it loyal, filial, benevolent and righteous if we have to bury you with the Zhu family? Your Zhu family is so big."
The partners and the Zhu family's friends were even more angry, and the second master Zhu deceived people too much.
"Okay, let's just say a few words less."
Cheng En Bo Zhu Ci raised his hand and pressed down. After all, the majesty was still there, and everyone calmed down as soon as he expressed his stance.
"I'm sorry everyone."
I'm sorry to speak, everyone's face is not good.
"father!"
Cheng Enbo Zhuci waved his hand to stop his son from clamoring.
He continued: "The three sea ships of the Zhu family were indeed robbed by pirates. These days, the old man has been busy with these things. There had been some results, but unexpectedly, I don’t know who broke the incident and caused such a big deal. The turmoil, so that the old man's previous efforts to recover the loss have been in vain.
It is also a last resort to conceal the facts. I just hope you all have more confidence in the old man. The Zhu family hasn't reached the point where the mountains and rivers are exhausted, and now they are just encountering a little difficulty. Give the old man some time, this difficulty will be resolved quickly. "
The partners looked at each other.
Master Zhu also stood up and bowed deeply, "Please give the Zhu family some time, we will definitely give everyone a satisfactory explanation."
"We naturally believe in uncle's ability. But my family is waiting for me to take the money to go home to buy rice and cook, and the guys are also waiting for me to take the money back to pay salaries. Your Zhu family has a big business, without my point. Money is also irrelevant. I beg you, return our principal to me. I don't want any interest or profit."
"I don't want interest or participate in sea trade dividends. I just want to return the principal to me."
"me too."
"me too."
"Do you want to be shameless?" Master Zhu Er pointed at everyone, "Knowing that the ship was hijacked, you are still forcing our Zhu family to pay back your principal? Why do you return it to you?
At the beginning, you took the initiative to do business in partnership, and no one forced you. Moreover, it is said that sea trade has risks, and everyone is responsible for their own profits and losses. What's the matter, did everything you say was fart?
Haimao makes money, and everyone earns it together. Now that the ship is hijacked, all losses are of course borne by everyone. I want our Zhu family to bear all the losses alone and tell you that there is no door. "
"Uncle, you are right. If you think like Master Zhu Er, we have nothing to say."
Cheng Enbo Zhuci took a deep breath, "Everyone must believe in the Zhu family and the old man. Isn't the old man's reputation built over decades worthy of your tolerance?"
"We only need the principal."
"After the matter is resolved, I will repay your principal."
"The Zhu family bank was run on, where did you take the money to repay our principal?"
"It's a big deal, the old man becomes a seller, this is the head office. Don't forget, there are hundreds of shops and merchants under the name of Zhu family, isn't this money?"
The partners exchanged glances, "Okay, we will believe the old man once. I hope the old man will not let us down."
Everyone dispersed.
The hall was in a mess.
Master Zhu asked worriedly: "Father, what are we going to do next?"
Cheng En Bo Zhuci sighed tiredly, "First draw a sum of money to the bank to stabilize the situation. It really doesn't work, prepare to sell some of the properties. Sell the properties from other places first, and the properties in the capital can't be moved."
As soon as the capital moved here, the Zhu family really didn't have the power to recover.
Master Zhu frowned, "Father, where should we draw funds from?"
"From……"
Cheng Enbo Zhu's speech was lost for a while.
Suddenly, I realized that the Zhu family really had no money.
"The huge Zhu family can't make up hundreds of thousands of taels?" Master Zhu Er was very upset.
He didn't expect the sea ship to be robbed to be true.
Fortunately, he was torn with partners from the beginning. The result was a slap in the face.
"Father, where did the money go?" Mr. Zhu asked very rudely.
Cheng Enbo Zhu was speechless.
Butler Zhu couldn’t bear to say,
Master, uncle has been trying to make up for this period of time. I deliberately drew a part of the funds to Jiangnan to buy marine goods in order to cover up the fact that the ship was robbed. Unexpectedly, someone knew in advance. The news, and everyone knows it."
"Since the money is in Jiangnan, then quickly withdraw it."
"The money is in the goods, and it will be cashed out somewhere soon."
"Father is confused!"
