After exchanging the Moon Spirit Crystals, the hooligans were very happy because they had successfully completed the first step of earning money!
As for the bank, they didn't know the purpose of the hooligans, so they couldn't stop them. Once they stopped them, as long as they couldn't give a reasonable reason, it would definitely cause a run on the bank.
In comparison, the Moon Spirit Crystals that were worth more than a hundred thousand yuan were nothing to the bank. Although they had lost one-third of their Moon Spirit Crystal reserves, the Moon Spirit Crystals were still a drop in the ocean for the bank.
However, when these hooligans got their hands on the Moon Soul Crystals, they immediately spread the news.
That afternoon, a large number of people rushed to the bank to exchange for Moon Spirit Crystals. As the news spread, more and more people came to the bank to run on the bank. At first, because they were all ordinary people and most of them were from the slums, they didn't ask for a lot of money. However, it wasn't normal for so many people to exchange for Moon Spirit Crystals at the same time.
Therefore, the bank reported the matter to the higher-ups while helping the poor people exchange for Moon Spirit Crystals. Soon, the higher-ups were alerted.
"What?! Did the news get leaked? "
"What should we do? We still don't have any clues about the Moon Spirit Crystal Robbery. If we let them run on the bank, the bank won't be able to hold on for much longer! "
"Let's hold on for a few days first. If we refuse to exchange now, the financial system and currency system will collapse!"
"That's the only way. Fortunately, only the poor people are exchanging, so the number isn't very large!"
…
At that time, because the news only spread in the slums, although there were many people exchanging, everyone was very poor. Each family could only exchange for two or three Moon Spirit Crystals. Therefore, the bank could completely hold on.
Moreover, the higher-ups of the bank had another idea. They wanted to keep the exchange open. This would increase the bank's credibility in the hearts of the people. As long as they maintained this for a few days, the people would feel that the bank could pay for Moon Spirit Crystals. Since Moon Spirit Crystals weren't convenient to use, they would save the Moon Spirit Crystals and exchange them for paper money.
The bank's idea was good, but when the news spread to the rich people, the situation took a turn for the worse!
Although the number of rich people was relatively small, they controlled the majority of the wealth. These people were afraid that their cash would turn into paper, so they all ran to the bank and asked to exchange their money for Moon Spirit Crystals.
This way, the pressure on the bank instantly increased!
"No! We must restrict the rich from exchanging. If this goes on, all our Moon Crystals will be exchanged in less than three days. Once we can't continue to pay, the financial system of the entire gamma space will collapse! "
…
In addition to the anxiety of the bank's executives, the news was also reported to the consul.
"Damn it! How did they get here so quickly? "The Consul cursed angrily. Jiang Fei, who was beside him, was secretly laughing.
"The show has finally begun!" Although Jiang Fei was secretly happy, he pretended to be at a loss.
"I see!" The consul pondered for a moment. He had been trying to come up with a solution for the past few days. Although he had not come up with a practical and effective solution, he had come up with a way to temporarily relieve the pain.
"Tell the higher-ups of the Life Building to gather some Moon Spirit Crystals to lend to the bank first. Then, have the bank exchange a limited amount of Moon Spirit Crystals. Only fifty million Moon Spirit Crystals per day," the administrator ordered.
"Yes!" After receiving the order, this person passed the order to those people.
Very soon, the higher-ups of the Life Building reluctantly gathered some Moon Spirit Crystals. As they were the ones who caused the mistake, they had no choice but to lend them the money.
However, even if they borrowed money from the Life Building, it would only be a drop in the bucket. As mentioned before, when the bank issued banknotes, it issued more banknotes according to the ratio. When everything was normal, the people would not run on the bank, so everything was normal.
However, if the people ran on the bank, everything would be over. Even if the one-third of the Moon Spirit Crystals were not stolen, they would not be able to pay the full amount. This was because the Moon Spirit Crystals they had in reserve were not even as much as the issued paper money. In fact, they only had one-third of the issued paper money, or even less.
"As expected!" After hearing the administrator's order, Jiang Fei nodded to himself. In the end, the other party had chosen to limit the exchange.
As a result, the people became even crazier. The bank limited the exchange, which undoubtedly proved the accuracy of the rumors. The bank could no longer exchange all the money, so they had to rush to exchange. Otherwise, the money in their hands would become waste paper.
More and more people gathered at the entrance of the bank. After the day's limit was used up, the remaining people did not leave at all. They surrounded the entrance of the bank. When the bank opened the next day, they squeezed in, hoping that they would be lucky enough to exchange all the money in their hands for Moon Spirit Crystals.
As a result, as soon as the bank opened, the limit for the day was used up by a few people. People from the outside could not enter, and it was not far from chaos.
Under such circumstances, the administrator could only give another order. Not only did the bank limit the total exchange, but it also limited each person to only one Moon Spirit Crystal per day. This way, the situation seemed to be slightly alleviated, but this balance was soon ended.
Everything was as Jiang Fei expected. From the time the bank started to restrict the exchange, the currency in the Gamma Space began to depreciate. At first, the price on the black market changed from one thousand dollars to one thousand two hundred, and then to one thousand three hundred and fourteen. The price of the Moon Crystal seemed to be going up at a steady pace.
Two days later, it became 2,000 dollars. This meant that the currency in the Gamma Space had depreciated by 50% in two days.
It was not only the Moon Spirit Crystal that increased in price. Everything else was increasing in price. As the money in their hands could become waste paper at any time, the merchants were not willing to accept it. Now, they were asking to pay with Moon Spirit Crystals, and even barter with other items. They were not willing to accept paper money.
When the bank started to limit each person to only one Moon Spirit Crystal per day, the gangsters appeared again. They sold the Moon Spirit Crystals in their hands on the black market. After earning twice the price difference, they violently drove away the people queuing in front of the bank, and then hired the people from the Slums to help them line up and exchange.
Under this economic crisis, the people in the Slums were even more miserable. They were now willing to risk their lives for a cake, let alone a line for the gangsters. Therefore, these gangsters instantly became the boss, and each of them made a fortune.
