For a whole day, President Peman and his secretary seemed to have vanished from the face of the earth. No trace of their existence could be found.
They had asked many people along the way, but no one had seen President Peman’s car pass by.
The shops on the roadside, pedestrians, patrol officers, no one had seen them.
They had thought of all the places they could consider, but they still couldn’t find their tracks.
The people at Basil Investment Bank did not call the police, and the security company was happy about this. Otherwise, if people knew they had lost their employer, it would also be a heavy blow to their business!
After getting off work, these people gathered together.
“The money in the bank hasn’t been touched. I don’t think they ran away early. They might have encountered some trouble.”
These people were ostensibly the management of Basil Investment Bank, or had some identity like a Gallic Empire noble.
But in fact, they were all members of the same scam group… no, to be precise, before they decided to scam, they were indeed the core management of the company.
But when they faced shrinking returns and even began to lose money, they became members of the scam group.
“If something happened to them, would it affect us?”
Someone still asked a question that everyone actually knew the answer to with some hesitation. If something really happened to them, then it would inevitably affect their entire scam plan!
Originally, they had wanted to go crazy for one last month, and then leave with a large amount of funds.
But with the disappearance of President Peman and his secretary, this matter had become dangerous.
Whether they were kidnapped or disappeared for some other reason, it made people feel nervous.
No one spoke. They all knew how crazy those people were now. In just one week, they could probably absorb another few million in funds!
Now, people were calling every moment, asking if there were still shares, whether they supported other ways of investment.
Gold bars, bearer bonds, corporate stocks, and so on!
In just one week, or even a few days, their wealth would increase by a lot more.
But at the same time, they were also very clear that once President Peman and the others said something, they would become very dangerous.
The current situation was, either leave immediately, and possibly lose a portion of the money.
Or stay here, bear a huge risk, but also have a huge return!
The room was very quiet. You could hear everyone’s breathing. No one spoke.
After a long time, someone finally said, “Let’s not take the risk. If someone really wants to stay, then let them stay. I’m leaving anyway, first thing tomorrow morning.”
Golden Port, as an international port city, the most convenient thing is that there are international cargo ships and cruise ships docking every day, and at the same time, there are also ships leaving here.
With just a little money, those people were willing to take them away from the Federation.
Looking at the different expressions on these people’s faces, he continued, “Those who leave will divide this money according to our regulations.”
“Those who stay will get all the subsequent income. We who leave first will not participate.”
People only noticed his “will not participate” and did not notice the look in his eyes.
He wanted to run, but was afraid that everyone would run together, attracting others’ attention, so he wanted to use this method to leave some people behind and run out safely himself first.
The president was gone, and a few supervisors were missing. This could be explained away. They had gone out to inspect investment projects.
But if the entire management team disappeared, it would be hard to explain, so his purpose was very simple, just to be able to leave safely first, and he was willing to give up subsequent income.
The others hadn’t thought of this, only thinking of more income. Soon these people were divided into two groups. Four or five people decided to leave first, while the remaining seven or eight decided to stay here and eat the last wave before leaving.
“What about Peman and his share?” someone suddenly asked.
The two were gone, missing, not seen alive or dead. So what about their money?
The person who first proposed to run away said softly, “We’ll take it. When they come out, we’ll give it back to them.”
The people who stayed did not agree. Once they left, who knew if they would ever see each other again? But fortunately, there were two cents, which they directly divided.
With no more conflict, feelings once again took the upper hand. They began to talk about everything in the past, drinking wine that cost hundreds of dollars. Under the dual anesthesia of alcohol and emotion, for once they did not call for those expensive girls, and just talked for most of the night, finally sleeping on the floor.
The next morning, the few who had decided to leave came to Jincheng Bank.
Basil Investment Bank was a super-large account. They went directly to the office of the president of Jincheng Bank.
The president received them warmly. After coffee and pastries were served and the few had settled down, they stated their request.
“We have recently taken a fancy to a project in Madel and need a large amount of funds, so we need to transfer a portion of our funds out.”
The bank president nodded slightly, his pupils contracting slightly. The smile on his face remained unchanged, “How much do you need to transfer out?”
“About $13,00,000.”
The bank president’s brow twitched. He leaned back in his chair, “That’s a lot of money. It might take a few days to transfer out.”
“In addition, we don’t have settlement business with Madel, so you can only take cash.”
“Cash?” one of them couldn’t help but cry out, “Wouldn’t that be too inconvenient?”
Tens of millions in cash looked great, but it was very inconvenient to carry. What if the people on the ship had evil intentions, they would have no room to resist.
The bank president showed an apologetic expression, “We don’t have the relevant business, so we can’t transfer the money to them. But if you go to these few countries that we have business with, we can directly transfer the money into their banks.”
He mentioned the names of several international banks. These international banks were not in their plan, but now they seemed to have no better choice.
The bank president also reminded, “These banks basically all have business in Madel. I’ll transfer the money to them, and they’ll then transfer it to the Madel National Bank. The problem will be solved.”
The few of them briefly discussed it and agreed to this decision.
“How many days at most will it take to complete all the transfers?”
The bank president said with a grin, “One to two weeks.”
The speed of international transfers is slow now, especially for such large transfers. The receiving bank will not really pay out the money to others just because the other party says it will be settled at the end of the month.
They will first create a file, and only after the money has really been transferred into their own account will they acknowledge this sum of money.
To put it simply, they would give these people an account with a deposit, but these deposits could not be withdrawn for the time being. They had to wait until the money arrived before they could use it.
One or two weeks was actually not too long.
The few of them were in a hurry to leave, so they agreed.
After seeing these people off, the bank president dialed a number, “They’re planning to run.”
“Now?”
The person on the receiver was obviously not expecting this, “Didn’t they say they would wait until the 25th?”
“There’s still almost a month. How much money can they get? Why are they in such a hurry to leave now?”
The bank president didn’t know so many details, “I’m not sure. I just want to know now, what do you plan to do?”
The person on the other end of the line was silent for a while, “Don’t hang up yet, let’s discuss it.”
Jincheng Bank was a local bank in Jincheng, and its radiation range was also Likalai State. It was a very difficult thing for it to become a national bank.
However, being able to have a certain market and influence within Likalai State was actually enough for them to survive.
Originally, the people from Basil Investment Bank did not plan to deposit this money in Golden Port, but in more professional and safer national banks like Parkway and Botong.
But the security level of these banks was very high. It was easy for money to go in, but not so easy for it to come out. It was even possible that they would get stuck.
After all, such a large outflow of funds was very likely to trigger a financial security alarm. At that time, it was very likely that not a single cent would get out, and people would also be detained.
On the contrary, the management system of a local bank like Jincheng Bank was relatively loose, and there were no restrictions on the flow of funds, so before they started scamming, they decided to deposit the money here.
But what they didn’t know was that behind Jincheng Bank were some local and Likalai State capital forces and political forces as shareholders.
When they discovered that these scammers had actually made the fund pool so large, these people had already made a decision. They were going to make a move on this fund pool and the scammers.
As for the people who were scammed?
Let them go find the scammers!
As for the scammers?
They are learning to swim at the bottom of the sea!
More than ten minutes later, some voices came from the receiver, “The plan remains unchanged. Transfer the money to a safe account first. We will arrange for these people.”
“After they have harvested the last wave, we will make a move.”
“I know.”
The bank president hung up the phone. He shook his head slightly. That was something the masters valued!
The few of them went back to pack up. They had arranged to leave together. They were lucky today. There was a small cruise ship going to Madel. They bought tickets and boarded the ship early.
After settling their things, they stood on the deck, looking at the prosperous port area of Golden Port, a somewhat indescribable taste in their hearts.
They had struggled here, yearned here, suffered here, and also had their glorious moments here. Now, they were leaving.
Cutting off all the joys and sorrows of the past, saying goodbye to this place, to this country!
The emotions of the few were very complex, and they were silent for a long time.
As the small cruise ship left the port, they also began to look forward to a new life.
It’s just that they didn’t know that they would also be welcoming the end of their lives!
At night, without the other passengers noticing, five bodies were thrown off the ship, splashing up some not-so-large waves on the water surface, and then sank to the bottom of the sea…
