Macro to loop through all worksheets except the first two and copy a cell and range into another workbook - vba

Question

I have a master workbook that I have that already looks through all the files in a folder. However, one of the tabs needs to look through all the tabs in a different selected workbook "Data". The workbook has roughly 30 worksheets, and I need to loop through each worksheet except "Investments" and "Funds". If it makes it easier these are the first two tabs in the workbook. I then need to copy cell F9 in each worksheet, paste it into a different workbook "Master" cell "C4", go back to the same worksheet in the "data" workbook and copy range "C16:C136" and paste that into cell "E4" of the "master" workbook. Then it would need to loop to the next worksheet in the "data" workbook and continue the loop. For each new worksheet, I need it to paste one row lower in the "master" file. i.e. the second worksheet would paste in "C5" and "E5".
If it makes it easier I can split this up into two macros. And Just paste all the data from the worksheets into a new blank sheet in the data work book and then I can have another one to copy all of that over into the "master" workbook once done.
Thanks in Advance

Please show us your first attempt. Feel free to put in comments like
' I need this to do XXXX here, but I don't know how
Here are a some hints:
To loop through all sheets in a workbook, use:
For each aSheet in MyWorkbook.Sheets
To skip some specific sheets, say:
If aSheet.Name <> "Investments" And aSheet.Name <> "Funds"
To copy from aSheet to MasterSheet, start by setting the initial destinations:
set rSource = aSheet.range("F9")
set rDestin = MasterSheet.range("C4")
Then in your loop you do the copy:
rDestin.Value = rSource.Value
...and set up the next set of locations
set rSource = rSource.offset(1,0)
set rDestin = rDestin.offset(1,0)
Does that help?
EDIT: Briefly looking at your version, I think this part won't work:
If ws.Name <> "Funds" And ws.Name <> "Investments" Then
Next ws
Don't you want to delete that last line?
EDIT 2: You use this a lot:
wb.Worksheets.<something>
But that does not refer to a specific worksheet. You want to use "ws", like this:
ws.Range("F9")
BIG EDIT:
Step through this version carefully and see how it works:
