Recently, in Hanchuan City, Hubei, Mr. Huang's home, who lives in Miaotou Town, accidentally caught fire, and more than 80,000 yuan in cash placed at home was burned. Anxious, he approached a local bank for help. After more than 3 hours of counting and appraisal, Mr. Huang finally exchanged more than 20,000 yuan.
After the fire, Mr. Huang rushed to the bank counter with a plastic bag full of damaged cash to ask for help.
Liu Shaowu, Comprehensive Service Manager of Bank of China Hanchuan Branch: The customer introduced that it was more than 80,000 yuan, and some of it had been completely carbonized into bars (lumps), and we couldn't clean it up, and some of the money was partially carbonized.
Mr. Huang said that he opened a waste recycling station, and on the eve of the National Day, he hurried back to his hometown to reunite with his relatives, and did not have time to deposit the more than 80,000 yuan in cash he had just received into the bank. In the early morning of October 1, a fire broke out in the electrical circuit of the home, and cash was burned. In order to minimise Mr. Huang's losses, a number of bank professionals worked together.
After more than 3 hours of manual peeling, counting and appraisal, Mr. Huang finally exchanged RMB 22,500.
Huang Zhangquan, a resident of Miaotou Town, surnamed Tai Village: Some have been burned into coke, some have only been burned into such a large piece, and some can't even be peeled off, to be honest, I am really grateful to them.
Tao Gang, Vice President of Hanchuan Branch of Bank of China: For the integrity of the coupon reaches more than three-quarters, (the bank) can be exchanged in full, and the integrity of the coupon is less than three-quarters, and more than one-half can be exchanged. Here I also remind the masses of the people that they must protect the renminbi and try not to store a large amount of cash at home to avoid accidental property losses.
