Bulgarian Empire

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 losing money is very low.

It was also reported in newspapers before, and it also caused the citizens of Vienna to sigh that the bank is really rich. As for the subtle differences between the Austro-Hungarian Bank Group and the Austro-Hungarian Bank, few people paid attention.

This time, Fu Hu Chunqiu's brushwork has been used very successfully, blurring the concept. In addition, after the outbreak of the economic crisis, all kinds of gossip are flying all over the sky. If you really believe it, the sky will fall.

Well, this is just the beginning. Just this uncertain news will not shake everyone's confidence in Austro-Hungarian Bank.

A few days later, another tabloid in Vienna published a news: The Greek government suffered heavy losses after the economic outbreak, the government is about to face bankruptcy, and another loan from the Austro-Hungarian bank may not be recovered.

The amount of this loan is not that large. The total amount of zero and zero is only more than 20 million kronor. However, the problem this time is obviously much more serious. The Greek government is indeed on the verge of bankruptcy. (Historically, the Greek government almost went bankrupt, but it was pulled by the foreign powers, and it was impossible to declare bankruptcy until 1898.)

The senior management of the Austro-Hungarian Bank is now meeting to discuss whether to save the Greek government or not. In fact, this issue does not need to be discussed.

Due to political and economic considerations, it must also be rescued. The current Greek government and Germany and Austria are still very close. And even if Austria-Hungary did not participate, other powers would intervene.

At the end of the 19th century, large international financial loans were all linked to politics, and the Austro-Hungarian Bank was no exception.

Austro-Hungarian Bank's main discussion now is what to get next? And how to help the Greek government through the disaster? You must know that what the Greek government can mortgage is almost the same. The reason for financial bankruptcy in 1898 was because there was no collateral.

This time, the Austro-Hungarian Bank's reaction was much more obvious. President Widos immediately held a press conference to refute the rumors and announced the principle of unanimity among the powers. The five hooligans in Europe will intervene, and everyone 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 banks will not go to waste.

The news was really heartening, and Austro-Hungarian Bank shares, which had been falling since the onset of the economic crisis, have rebounded.

Witos 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 were affected.

Austro-Hungarian Bank was no exception. The stock price began to fall, and he was under great pressure. Now that it's finally rebounding, does that mean this crisis is over?

However, Fuhu did not let his good mood last long, and the Vienna Daily published another bad news: something happened again in the Ottoman Empire!

In fact, it is not a big deal. In the late 19th century, the Ottoman Empire was peaceful for a few days. What is a mere peasant uprising? Even if there are a little more people participating this time, it will not be suppressed soon! Besides, the Hardenberg family and the Ottomans are also old rivals for hundreds of years, and they really have little influence on Austria-Hungary.

Well, the Austro-Hungarian Bank was hit again this time. In the chaos, several employees were accidentally injured, and some property was lost along the way. The mere tens of thousands of kroner was not worth mentioning.

But the power of the rumors is huge, and Fuhu happily magnified the amount hundreds of times and published it in a street tabloid.

However, out of concern for the Ottoman Empire, the rumor spread quickly. Then the newspapers in Vienna followed up one after another, and the intelligence officers took a decisive rhythm, and everyone began to guess how much the Austro-Hungarian Bank lost this time!

From millions to tens of millions, there are speculations, and there are different opinions. Some newspapers even boldly guessed that the Austro-Hungarian Bank had lost hundreds of millions in order to attract people's attention.

Well, this kind of speculation of hundreds of millions is estimated to be believed by only idiots. President Vickers immediately held a press conference,

The loss was announced in an attempt to reassure people. It was openly admitted that the Austro-Hungarian Bank was in trouble in the Ottomans, but the loss was only 80,000 crowns.

This time it was obviously self-defeating, and the citizens of Vienna said: I would be a fool to believe it!

Who called the Austro-Hungarian Bank to show its strength and give people the feeling of being rich and powerful. According to the thinking of ordinary people, it is normal for the Austro-Hungarian Bank to have 1,800,000 in the Ottoman Empire. How could it be possible to not lose 1,800,000 if it was robbed and murdered?

If Vickers knew what the people were thinking, he would definitely spit on them. The Austro-Hungarian Bank is very rich, but it is not so arrogant that it can put eight million in a branch, and the Vienna headquarters is almost the same!

People don't care so much, as long as they think it's reasonable! The Austro-Hungarian banks must have lost a lot, otherwise why would they hide their losses. People are unpredictable, and the more they think about it, the more terrifying it is. At this time, the intelligence personnel began to take the rhythm again.

Vienna street

Lardy was an ordinary intelligence officer under Ferdinand, and of course he had no idea who he was working for.

He is still very satisfied with this part-time job. Usually go to work normally, and occasionally only need to spread a few messages, you can get rich rewards, easy and simple and not dangerous.

As for who the employer is, he is too lazy to care. Anyway, you only need to talk about it, you can make money, and the above has specially organized training. In order to reduce the risk of exposure, dissemination of news is generally just guesswork.

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, Lardy believes that this is a capitalist dog bites a dog, and he is not tired of this kind of thing.

"Hi, Carlo, have you deposited money in the Austro-Hungarian bank?" A middle-aged man in his 40s who was slightly obese came over, and Raddy took the initiative to go over and say hello.

"Of course, Raddy! You know that the current economic environment is very bad, and those small banks may go bankrupt! The credit of Austro-Hungarian banks has always been very good. Although the interest rate is low, it is safe!" Carlo said with a smile

"God! Haven't you watched the news? Austro-Hungarian Bank's investments abroad have failed one after another, and they are about to go bankrupt!" Raddy said in surprise.

"How is this possible? Austro-Hungarian Bank is a big bank in the world. How can it go bankrupt with its strength?" Carlo said in disbelief

"How do I know if it goes bankrupt? Anyway, the Austro-Hungarian Bank has suffered a lot of losses recently, and the newspapers have said it. It's not like you don't know the current situation in China. Every once in a while, there are factories closing down. Who knows how many bad debts the Austro-Hungarian Bank has on hand? In a big family business, you can't stand such a toss!" Raddy said lightly

"That's what you said! The economy is really in a downturn right now, and the machinery factory where that kid Bo Luo worked has gone bankrupt. I heard that he still owes a lot of money to the bank! Look at it this way, do I need to hurry up and pay the money? Take it out, it's more secure?" Carlo said hesitantly

"I suggest you take it out! It's better to lose a little interest than to lose everything. Are there fewer banks in Vienna now? Who knows if the Austro-Hungarian Bank can survive this time? This is a loss of tens of millions. !" Raddy continued to add

"Well, I'm thinking about it!" Carlo said with a painful face

...

The same thing happened more than once on the streets of Vienna. After many people were fooled, they consulted with their relatives and friends, which inadvertently affected more people. The rumors intensified, and a run on the bank broke out.
