Mr. Shaler, I like students' money the most.

In response to Heifu's question, Mr. Shaler indifferently grabbed the chat biscuits provided by Caesar Group in front of him, and then while eating the free biscuits, Mr. Shaler said to Heifu with ease,

"You like investigating, don't you? Just go investigate it yourself and you'll know!"

"Asshole, if you dare to do anything behind my back, I will definitely make you pay for it!"

Seeing how relaxed Mr. Shaler was at the moment, Heifu was a little angry.

For black clothes,

He has always been the one to tease others, and play them around. When will it be someone else's turn to tease him? !

As a secret society, Heifu and others also have weaknesses;

That is the funding chain of the Digital Secret Society.

Money is the cornerstone of all actions. Even if you are a brave warrior who saves the world and defeats the evil dragon, without money, you can't even afford to stay in a passing hotel and can only sleep on the street.

Mr. Shaler and Hoshino can be threatened by the black service because of money issues. Similarly, the black service can also be threatened by Mr. Shaler because of the problem of capital chain.

Once the Digital Secret Society lacks financial support, it will be like a company with a broken capital chain. The research results of Heifu in the Digital Secret Society, along with the Digital Secret Society itself, will disappear.

95% of the funding for the Digital Secret Society comes from secret funding from the Caesar Group.

If a fish leaves the water, it will die.

The relationship between the Digital Secret Society and the Caesar Group is like that between fish and water. Both sides use each other and cooperate with each other.

The Digital Secret Society needs financial sponsorship from the Caesar Group, while the Caesar Group needs to rely on the capabilities and research results of the Digital Secret Society to eliminate dissidents in Kivotos and expand wildly. Neither side can leave the other.

Unable to suppress his anger, the image of a conspirator that Hei Fu had just established collapsed in an instant. Hei Fu gritted his teeth in frustration, picked up the landline phone, pressed the dial button hard, and called the director of Caesar Group on the other end of the line.

"Hello, this is Black Suit. I need to investigate immediately what happened at Caesars Bank. Investigate everything that happened right now. Even if a rat passed through the sewer of Caesars Group, you must report it to me truthfully!"

After hanging up the phone, Heifu looked gloomily at Mr. Shaler, who was eating the free cookies in front of him and stuffing them into his pockets, preparing to take the consequences.

Then the next second, the landline phone in front of Heifu rang, and Heifu grabbed the phone impatiently.

Then Heifu got the information he wanted, and Director Caesar on the other end of the phone reported,

"Sir Black Suit, Caesar Group didn't find anything strange just now. There is only one thing that is very strange. Just now, residents from Abydos have come to Caesar Bank to deposit money. Although each person deposits a small amount, in total, these Abydos residents have deposited about 900 million yuan."

"Is that all?"

The man in black touched his chin with his right hand and began to think seriously about the connection.

Deposits, threats, banks, could it be...

Then, just as Heifu was quietly realizing something, Mr. Shaler used the peach letter to send a signal to Qinxiang and others again.

[Qingxiang, start the second step of the plan]

As Mr. Schaller gave the signal,

The director of Caesar Group on the other end of Heifu's landline suddenly called Heifu again.

Heifu picked up the ringing landline phone and heard Director Caesar shouting in panic on the other end of the line,

"Oh no, Lord Heifu, something terrible has happened. We are all doomed. Check out the short video on Taoxin News Network on your phone. The number of views of the declaration of war has exceeded 100 million!"

Hearing the panicked voice of the director of Caesar Group, Heifu opened his mobile phone and clicked on Taoxin app. Then, on the homepage of Taoxin short video, a short video with over 100 million views suddenly appeared. In the lower right corner of the video, there appeared a tag that was the hottest on the entire site that day, and the number of views of the short video was still rising.

The moment the black server clicked on it, the number of views of the short video soared to 120 million.

The title of the video only has a few words.

【Declaration of War】

Then the subtitle,

[We are the top terrorists in Abydos, the masked swimsuit group, and we have released a large number of new counterfeit currency on the market]

In the video, a group of terrorists wearing gangster masks stood in front of a pile of counterfeit money. The counterfeit money behind them formed a three-meter-high mountain.

Then a gangster wearing a gangster mask with two small holes poked out of it, revealing a pair of cat ears, held a 10,000 yuan bill and showed it to the camera.

"Everyone, we are the Masked Swimsuit Group. This is our latest masterpiece, a fake 10,000-yuan bill. It can knock down any ATM machine on the market. Everything about the fake bill is the same as the real thing, except for the serial number."

As he spoke, the man named Cat-eared Bandit, who was actually Serika, paused for a moment and continued,

"The only way to distinguish the real from the fake is quite simple, just light them up. To prove that the money we made is fake, we deliberately added green fluorescent agent to the color-changing ink, so they burn differently from the real money."

As he spoke, the cat-eared bandit took out another real 100-yuan bill and lit it with a lighter. The real bill burned into a burnt yellow color.

Then the cat-eared bandit lit up the fake 10,000 yuan bill,

The color of the burning banknotes was a light green.

Chapter 24: Bank Run (Fourth Update)

After teaching the audience in front of the screen how to distinguish between real and fake, the cat-eared bandit pointed to the three-meter-high pile of counterfeit banknotes behind him and said,

"This is 90 billion counterfeit banknotes. We will gradually deposit them into Caesar Bank within three days. Currently, the number of counterfeit banknotes in Caesar Bank is 900 million. We will gradually increase the amount of counterfeit banknotes transferred in. Our goal is to destroy Caesar Bank in order to avenge our companions..."

The cat-eared bandit became more and more excited as he spoke, and then realized that he was a little too excited. He coughed a few times, and then continued in a relaxed and friendly tone.

"Our only enemy is Caesars Bank. We don't want to be enemies with the general public, so we are releasing this video to urge everyone to withdraw money as soon as possible. Don't wait until there is a mixture of fake and real money in the bank before transferring your property to avoid causing major losses."

Then at the end of the video, there is a personal vlog video, in which an unknown person comes to the ATM machine of Caesar Bank.

Then he deposited the fake money and successfully knocked down the ATM machine. Then the other party went to the counter to deposit money, successfully deceived the bank teller at the counter, and deposited the fake money into the bank.

Apparently the Masked Swimsuit Group wasn't lying.

As soon as this video came out,

Taoxin, a super app that combines many functions such as chat, short videos, forums, etc., has directly exploded, and countless people who do not know the truth have left messages,

is this real?

This is terrible, my money might also become fake money because I really deposited money in Caesar Bank. No, I must withdraw it as soon as possible!

I also deposited money in Caesar Bank because the interest rate there is high. It turns out that depositing money there is so unsafe!

There are also messages from the public who speak out their own experiences.

It’s true, damn, someone just made a purchase at my eel restaurant, and I received a counterfeit 10,000 dollar bill!

Then, countless follow-up videos popped up below the video.

Some people went to Caesars Bank to deposit money, and by checking the serial number, they found that there were counterfeit bills in the money withdrawn from the ATM machine.

Moreover, after the banknotes are lit, they emit a faint green and strange light.

For a while, Tao Xin's chat room was filled with people, and there was a sense of crisis as if a dark cloud was looming over the city.

In a sense of crisis,

As more and more people went to Caesars Bank to withdraw money, Caesars Bank had no choice but to issue six official announcements in a row to prove that the counterfeit money crisis was completely fictitious.

Looking at the content of the video and the various rumors that were prevalent in the Taoxin chat section, the black server instinctively felt the crisis and the expression on his face gradually became gloomy.

And this crisis is a bank run.

The profit-making operation model of Caesars Bank, or all commercial banks, is similar.

That is = the bank promises a certain interest rate to users to attract customers to deposit money, and then the bank uses the customers' deposits to provide lending services, and then charges high interest on the loans, earning the interest difference.

Since most of the customer savings collected by the bank are used for lending, and lending will inevitably result in the customer's savings no longer being in the bank's hands, what should the bank do if the customer comes to withdraw the money?

That is where the concept of reserves comes in.

In order to cope with the withdrawal of savings customers, banks will reserve a portion of money in advance when lending, as a reserve for small-scale withdrawals by savings customers.

Anyway, it is impossible for all the bank's customers to line up in the bank overnight and withdraw all their deposits.

If it happens, it is called a bank run, a terrible and vicious event that can lead to bankruptcy.

At this moment, facing the video of the masked swimsuit group, the whole Kivotos was in panic.

Gehenna College, Discipline Committee Activity Room,

"Ya Zi, what are you doing? Why do you want to leave so suddenly? You haven't finished today's work yet."

Hina looked at Ako who was about to run away, and Ako looked at the Discipline Committee Chair Hina very awkwardly and replied,

"Um, President Hinata, I, I have some personal matters, it's not a big deal, but I deposited all my retirement pension in Caesar Bank, and I have to go withdraw the money!"

And the streets of Abydos,

The four people from Convenience House 68 were piled up on a small shared electric bike. Kayoko was driving, Mutsuki was sitting in the basket, and Haruka, who was small in stature, was squatting on the front rest pedal of the shared electric bike.

Ailu sat in the back seat, hugged Kayoko's back, and yelled at her,

"Hurry up, hurry up, Kayoko, all our savings are in Caesar Bank. It's so unfortunate. I worked so hard for Mr. Shaler for so many days for nothing, and I thought I was finally going to become famous. But it turns out that the target of Mr. Shaler's financial attack is Caesar Bank. Ah, I have completely shot myself in the foot!"

Just when the whole of Kivotos was in a panic, an even more explosive piece of news came.

The Federal Bank, the official media of the Kivotos Central Bank, issued an official announcement.

The Federal Bank's banknote printing templates were stolen and lost, and someone colluded with the Federal Bank's internal staff to steal the magnetic security thread and illegally purchased color-changing ink from the color-changing ink manufacturer through certain official channels.

The Federal Currency is now completely unsafe. Citizens and students are requested to take good care of their finances. Before the Federal Bank comes up with a better solution to identify counterfeit banknotes, please do not use physical currency for transactions, especially do not transfer money to Caesar Bank.

With the entry of the Federal Reserve, it was like a thunderclap that instantly hit the leaking chicken coop, causing the hens in the coop, who had already been distracted, to jump around and realize that the end of the world had really come.

In an instant, the crowd, unable to suppress their panic any longer, rushed into Caesars Bank like a tide and began to withdraw money, trying to take away all their deposits in Caesars Bank.

In just two minutes, all the ATMs inside Caesars Bank stopped working due to lack of money in the machines.

After scanning all the banknotes that can be withdrawn from the ATM machine,

Countless panicked Kivotos citizens rushed to the counter, just like the terrified crowd at the scene of the Dutch tulip bubble burst, yelling and demanding to withdraw their money immediately, trying to withdraw all their deposits.

In the business hall of Caesars Bank, fear spread from panic to despair. Due to the bank run, even the calmest savings customers realized that

Caesars Bank is no longer safe at all. People have to withdraw money as soon as possible, otherwise Caesars Bank will definitely go bankrupt. This awareness of the crisis has in turn exacerbated the bank run, creating a vicious cycle.

Just three minutes,

The amount of reserves in Caesars Bank dropped exponentially, from 40 billion to only 4 billion.
