After learning the basic situation from Kevin, Ma Xiaoguang locked himself in the office alone and whipped Hardman hard - this was quite a tricky thing.
The special account thing that Kevin was talking about is going to take some work.
First of all, who are the people in these accounts, what is the exact situation, how much is the specific amount of each account, and which banks are they in?
Secondly, how can we transfer the money out or out? This is a big project and the most difficult part of the entire operation.
If there are two accounts, Ma Xiaoguang can naturally withdraw cash. The problem is that there are dozens of accounts, and it is too difficult to withdraw cash separately...
After thinking about it for an unknown amount of time, when it was time to get off work, the whole office was filled with smoke, as if there had been a fire, or like bacon being smoked during the twelfth lunar month. It was really smoky.
The moment the office door opened, MISS Liu was startled. She saw Boss Ma asking questions with concern, as if he was afraid that the old man would stop burning charcoal in the office.
"Okay, don't worry. It's just something to think about. You and Kevin should worry more about the matter tomorrow." Boss Ma said apologetically.
MISS Liu Wenyan smiled sweetly and said calmly: "It's okay, just be more careful outside..."
After hearing this, Boss Ma seemed to feel a lot more at ease somehow.
The next day, Boss Ma and Fatty did not go to Zilin Building, but changed into a less outstanding ordinary suit jacket and went to wander around Huade Road.
"Master, what's the point of wandering around like this?" the fat man asked in confusion.
"Hey, how come you always have such good luck? Things go here and there, things go here and there. Things will start soon. You may not want to go back to Zilin Building for a meeting. How about we go back now?"
"Don't! Let's go shopping on Huade Road." The fat man's face changed after hearing this, and he said hurriedly.
The two of them walked and chatted, and soon they arrived near the Mosaic Synagogue.
Moses Synagogue is a synagogue located at No. 62 Ward Road, also known as Ward Road Synagogue. It was built by Jews of great Mao origin who raised funds.
The synagogue was completed in 1927. It covers an area of 660 square meters and has a construction area of 1,074 square meters. It has three floors of brick and wood structure and faces south to north. It is a verandah-style building with a combination of Chinese and Western styles in the late Qing Dynasty.
"Master, aren't you going to go in and pray?"
"Well, it's a pity that I don't believe in Judaism. Otherwise, I should go in and pray..."
"Then what are we doing here?"
"All Jews believe in Judaism. Do you think that if someone dies, do they have to come here to report themselves?"
"Oh, I understand! Your old man wants to get the list from the church. This is a good way, but how can you check the bank account if the person is gone?"
"Well, don't worry, let's have breakfast first." Boss Ma said with a wink.
Before he finished speaking, he took the fat man to a breakfast stall not far from the auditorium and sat down. He ordered a drawer of steamed dumplings and two bowls of white porridge, and the fat man sat down and started eating calmly.
"Boss, business has been booming lately?" Boss Ma started chatting with the breakfast stall owner while eating.
"Ara, this is a small business, so-so. However, there have been more and more white men near the synagogue recently, and the business has been a little better..." The breakfast stall owner seemed to be in a good mood today, and he had a pleasant conversation with Boss Ma.
"Foreign devils also like to eat xiaolongbao?"
"This boss, don't you know, some foreign devils like to eat Ala's Xiao Long Bao... No, there was a tall ghost guy a few days ago, and he said these Xiao Long Bao are good." Breakfast stall The boss said happily.
"Why do you remember so clearly?"
"That ghost guy has blond hair and is tall. He is different from Mr. Bai in the synagogue. He speaks in a special way and is easy to recognize."
"Are you talking too loudly? The bridge of your nose is high..." Boss Ma was excited when he heard this, and quickly described to the breakfast stall boss the appearance of Hoffman, his colleague from Hans.
The breakfast stall owner had a very good eye and memory. After a brief description, Ma Xiaoguang easily confirmed that Hoffmann and Fisher from Hans Country had already visited the chapel the day before yesterday.
After getting useful information, Boss Ma and Fatty finished their breakfast and left the breakfast stall.
"Fat man, I won't go to church anymore, and it's too conspicuous if we go there. Let's go to Lihe Foreign Trade Co.," Boss Ma said quietly.
"Okay." Fatty agreed readily.
The fat man was naturally in a good mood because he did not have to go to church to worship in a pretentious manner. Although he did not believe in God, he was an honest man and did not want to deceive God.
"Next we have to put on our makeup. Those two foreign devils know us." On the way to Lihe Foreign Trade Co., Ltd., Boss Ma said to the fat man in a deep voice.
"Do you need to call Brother Guishou and the others?" Fatty suddenly asked after hearing this.
"Yes! You have a good idea! With these two brothers, the work will be much easier. When we get to Lihe Matheson, you can send a telegram first..."
More than forty minutes later, Boss Ma arrived alone on Jiangxi Road, which is the core area of the public concession, not far from the Ministry of Industry and Industry Building and Lihe Foreign Bank.
It is said that if you want to check the list of Jews, the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau can actually do it. However, most of the Jews are refugees, and some may not be registered with the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau. Moreover, if the Ministry of Industry and Commerce Bureau is alerted, the matter will not be kept secret!
While thinking about various plans, Ma Xiaoguang walked slowly to the opposite side of the Lihe Bank building.
This four-story building is in the Queen Anne Revival style. The exterior walls are made of plain red bricks and stone carvings, and the top is decorated with Baroque pediments. The whole building is very majestic and beautiful. It is the largest building among the Shanghai Foreign Bank Buildings.
Ma Xiaoguang was at a newsstand opposite the building, leisurely flipping through the day's newspapers while staring at the building with the corner of his eye.
Now after going around in circles, Ma Xiaoguang finally thought it through.
Since Hansi's counterparts have been working on it for a long time, they probably already have accurate information, and there is no need for them to go out of their way to repeat the work.
The best way now is to keep an eye on the two counterparts in Hans Kingdom, and then take action at the right time. This is the optimal solution!
Of course, this method also has the biggest risk. These two people from Hans are not ordinary people. They are professional agents. Trying to follow them with a mantis stalking the cicada and an oriole behind them is tantamount to seeking the skin of a tiger.
But at the same time, if this huge amount of money goes to the fascists or even the Japanese, Ma Xiaoguang can't help but tell himself that he must find a way to get this money. Fighting the Japanese is also an economic fight!
Every dollar spent now may be a bullet fired at the enemy in the future!
Thinking of this, Ma Xiaoguang calmed down. Seeing that the time was almost up, he took out a few coins, bought a few newspapers, and turned around to leave.
I turned to the back of the foreign store and stayed at the corner for a short time when I saw a familiar Mercedes-Benz 170 appearing in front of me.
There were three people in the car. The two in the front row were naturally Hoffman and Fisher, but there was an Oriental face in the back row.
The speed of the Mercedes-Benz 170 was neither too fast nor too slow. When leaving the house, it turned left and headed north toward Hongkou.
Seeing that the Mercedes-Benz 170 was about to disappear from sight, Ma Xiaoguang saw a black taxi approaching on the roadside. Before the car stopped, he opened the rear door and got in.
"The time is just right!" The driver was a fat man, but he had already changed his clothes, had a big beard, and a driver's hat, looking like a standard driver.
"Yes, if you come here later, I will have to pick up the car." Boss Ma praised the fat man's tacit understanding and started to modify it with the props in the back seat.
This was all thanks to Charlie Cao's prior arrangement. After arriving at Xiangsheng Company, Lao Zhou also strongly supported the work of Boss Ma and Lao Cao, and signed a car rental agreement with the car dealer in the name of Tianma Yangxing due to the understanding and trust between both parties.
This car rental agreement can be compared to the Internet car rental model of later generations. Even if there are branches of Xiangsheng Company in Shanghai, they are all registered in the name of Tianma Yangxing, and the car can be picked up at any time to cope with possible situations at any time. car usage status.
This was the 1930s, and taxis were also a luxury expense. They would not come at your fingertips like in the drama. Most of the time, you needed to make a reservation in advance to use a car. However, spy work was not like other jobs. No one could guarantee what would happen in the next minute. This time Operation can solve a big problem.
"Don't follow too closely. First of all, be careful not to be exposed. There are other people in their car!" Boss Ma changed his clothes and ordered in a deep voice.
After driving the Mercedes-Benz 170 for half an hour, we arrived at Yoshida & Co., a neon country store on North Sichuan Road.
In addition to the two agents of the Hans Kingdom, there was also a middle-aged man in a suit with yellow skin and dark eyes who got off the car. Judging from the way the employees of the Neon Country Foreign and Commonwealth Bank saluted and bowed to him, his identity should be unusual.
"It seems that the little devil and Hans are moving faster than we expected!" Boss Ma whispered to the fat man.
"But there is no way to find out what these people are talking about? The most important thing is where have they reached?" the fat man said with some worry.
"It doesn't matter, it's not that fast! This is not a small amount of money, and it won't be done in three to five days. Let's keep an eye on these three guys. There is probably something fishy."
After waiting outside the foreign store for about an hour, two agents from the Hans Kingdom drove out. The middle-aged man from the Neon Kingdom did not follow them into the car. Instead, a beautiful black Chrysler Airstream sedan drove out.
Twenty minutes later, the two cars stopped in front of a Shikumen house in Taichengli, Pingliang Road.
Before the car could stop, two Hansi men and four Neon men in the car behind them hurriedly jumped out of the car and rushed into the Shikumen house.
There was only a messy sound of rummaging through boxes and cabinets inside the house, and not long after, a group of people rushed out again with disappointed faces.
The short, stocky Neon Nation man in the lead asked Hoffman: "Mr. Hoffman, I didn't find anything, what should I do?"
"Go to the Moses Synagogue on Ward Road and arrest that Bai Sitan!" Hoffman said bitterly.
A group of people got the order, jumped into the car, and drove away quickly.
Watching the two cars disappear, Boss Ma smiled and said to Fatty: "It's almost done, Fatty, let's go in and take a look."
"Aren't you following?" The fat man was a little confused.
"A monk who can run away can't run away from the temple! Take a look here first, maybe there will be clues here, believe me, it's true!" Boss Ma said with a smile.
