"What's wrong? What happened? " This scream immediately attracted the attention of the entire settlement center. After all, this was the lifeline of Hua Xia's banking system. If there were any problems here, all the banks in Hua Xia would be in chaos.
Therefore, not long after the screams were heard, more than a dozen armed security guards and two or three management staff of the rental car rushed over.
"Look, are my eyes playing tricks on me? There seems to be a problem with this number. Did I see a few more zeros?!" The female operator who screamed said.
The settlement center had its own automated management system, but in this day and age, no matter how automated the system was, it still needed manual assistance. Every encrypted transfer information that was sent to the center needed to go through a manual audit, reconciliation, and registration. Then, it would be entered into another database, and finally, it would be turned into text files. So, it really needed a lot of professional staff.
"Is there a problem with this number?" The director in charge of managing the entire settlement center glared at the female operator. Did this guy hide his eyesight during the physical examination? He couldn't even see a computer number clearly!
"Let me see!" The director pulled the operator away and sat down. Then, he stared at the numbers on the computer screen.
"Well, this is a foreign exchange transfer!" The director saw that this transfer information was different from most of the transfer information because this box was green, and most of the information boxes were white.
Among them, the white information box was a Renminbi transfer, and the green box was a foreign exchange transfer. Generally speaking, after 1000 white Renminbi transfers, there would be a foreign exchange transfer. Many operators would only see a few foreign exchange transfer operations in a day.
"F * ck!" Although the director didn't scream, he cursed for the first time since he started working.
"Ten, ten, ten, ten … ten billion" Then, the director stretched out his fingers and began to count the numbers one by one like a primary school student, then said blankly, "Did I count wrongly? You guys count it too. How is this possible … and this symbol, is this USD?"
"Ten, ten, ten, ten billion … ten billion" Then the surrounding operators all began to count the number of zeros one by one like children. Most of them counted more than ten times before finally confirming that they didn't lose wrongly.
"It's ten billion! This is ten billion USD!!!! That's one-fifth of our total foreign exchange reserves!!!! "The owner couldn't help but scream.
In 1994, China's foreign exchange reserves were 51.62 billion USD, according to the statistics released by CCTV. This was not just US dollars, but the final number of all foreign currencies in the world.
This transfer of 10 billion USD was equivalent to one-fifth of the country's foreign exchange reserves in 1994. How could this not make people scream?
"Hurry up and check which bank transferred the foreign exchange reserves from. Did they transfer the wrong amount? Filling in the wrong number, this is not a joke! "The director said quickly.
"It's from our branch in Hong Kong!" The operator immediately reported.
The Director went straight to the phone room and called Central Corp's Hong Kong branch. Before the Director could say anything, the branch manager said. "Director, I know what you want to ask. There is no mistake. There is no mistake with the numbers. It is indeed 10 billion USD."
"Are you sure? Did you really receive 10 billion USD? Are your eyes playing tricks on you? "The Director asked.
"There's no mistake. At 8: 30 this morning, as soon as our bank opened, six cash trucks from Mitsubishi Bank came and delivered 10 billion US dollars in cash to our vault. All of us counted it for seven hours and checked it three times. We're sure it's 10 billion US dollars in cash. The money is in our vault. We're ready to send someone to transfer it to the capital!" said the president of the Hong Kong branch.
"You bastard, why are you in such a hurry to send it over? Let me tell you, immediately gather all the security forces in the branch and find a way to get the help of the police. You will stay in the vault and don't leave. I will contact the higher-ups immediately and ask the local police to help you transport it back to the capital!" The Director immediately gave the order.
Then the Director immediately reported this matter to the chairman of the head office. The whole Central Corp was shocked, and the news was sent directly to XXX. The whole core of Hua Xia was shocked.
Especially when they found out that the money was transferred from Mitsubishi Bank to the Daqian Group's account through the Central Corp. Everyone was even more shocked.
However, this was all the next day. After the Director had just finished his report and kept ordering people to safely send the huge amount of cash back to the capital, Chairman Liu of G&S Bank came directly to him.
"Old Niu, Old Niu, come out and give me back my money!" Chairman Liu shouted at the door of Director Niu's office.
"What money? I have no money!" When Director Niu saw Chairman Liu, he knew that the debt collector was here. He retorted without thinking.
"Nonsense! My client said that 10 billion USD has been transferred to our G&S Bank account. You can't go back on your word. Transfer the money to me now!"
"What nonsense are you talking about?!" Director Niu did not expect Chairman Liu to get the news in advance, so he said with a straight face, "Do you have any organizational discipline? The country's regulations state that all foreign exchange must be managed by our central bank's foreign exchange bureau. I'll transfer the money to you in RMB!" "Nonsense!
"Bullsh * t! That was before 1993. After 1993, our bank can manage our own foreign exchange. We just need to report to the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. Don't even think about taking my money. Why do I need RMB? Hurry up and transfer my USD to me!"
"Sigh, we are all enterprises of the people. It's the same no matter where the money is …" Director Niu said.
"I don't care, I want the money!"
"I have no money. My money is still in Hong Kong!"
"You have money in the vault of the State Administration of Foreign Exchange. Give me my 10 billion USD first!"
"Nonsense! Don't you see that the transfer process takes 24 hours? It's only been a few hours. Just you wait! " A large group of onlookers watched as the two big bosses of the banking industry quarreled like crazy children. Both of them were as angry as bulls.
Only our Boss Jia was still waiting outside pitifully and helplessly. He thought to himself, why is it so difficult for me to return the money?! Isn't it said that the one who owes money is the boss?!
