Of the former Big Six Banks, not all were large-scale banks like Jin Hui and Rong Sheng.
There were also two banks that, due to factors such as their corporate strategies, had suffered enormous losses before the last Great Depression broke out. They no longer had much confidence.
Of course, whether they had confidence or not was not in relation to ordinary people or ordinary companies. It was in relation to everyone sitting here.
Since they had decided to pick on the weakest, they had to choose the weakest of all.
Once the target had been selected, this symposium, which should not have been charged with hostility, was anything but gentle from the very beginning.
The Financial Supervisory Commission and the Big Seven Banks were clearly divided on these issues. This fundamental conflict could not be resolved unless Mr. Truman had the confidence and determination to completely rebuild the Federal financial and economic order.
Otherwise, their demands could never be accepted in full.
Loud shouting, arguments, disagreements.
Lin Qi and the representative of the Federal Savings Bank simply sat there quietly without taking a position. The people from the Financial Supervisory Commission did not drag them into the battle either.
After they had argued for quite some time, the Vice Chairman of the Financial Supervisory Commission seemed to feel that the right moment had arrived and took the initiative to make some concessions.
"We'll never get what we want by sitting here arguing forever. Why don't we each take a step back..."
At that moment, the Federal Savings Bank's representative glanced at Lin Qi, and Lin Qi knew it was time for him to speak.
The Federal Savings Bank's size meant that they certainly would not have sent its representative to speak, even if that representative was merely a representative.
