The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

In the study.

Lingyun nodded with a smile as he guided Yanzi to complete the final purchase.

"Alright, the transaction is complete. These are the stocks you need. Just hold onto them and relax. I'll remind you when to sell."

"These stocks have huge potential. As long as you hold onto them steadily, you'll have no problem making dozens of times your initial investment in the future, enough to ensure you'll be financially secure for life."

At this point, he glanced at the time on his computer and then stood up from his chair.

"It's almost time, I should get back to work. You all drank quite a bit last night, go and rest a bit more. Don't forget to meet with Attorney Zhang this afternoon."

The beautiful women exchanged glances, then smiled and nodded in unison.

"Okay, you're so thoughtful."

Afterwards, Ling Yun left the study and went to the master bedroom to change his clothes.

Without prior arrangement, all four beauties stared intently at his retreating figure, each wanting to follow him to the master bedroom.

But at this stage, only Leilei was qualified, so she followed without hesitation.

As it moved, it swayed gracefully, even with a hint of showing off.

Seeing this, Da Meiyuan and Yanzi were filled with envy.

Fifteen minutes later, Ling Yun changed his clothes, left the duplex mansion, and drove straight to the headquarters of China Investment Corporation.

The women stayed home, chatted enthusiastically for a while, and then went back to their bedrooms to catch up on sleep.

In the afternoon, Da Meiyuan and Leilei met with Lawyer Zhang in the company's conference room and signed several agency and authorization documents.

They entrusted Lawyer Zhang to act as their agent at the law firm to negotiate with Far Eastern Group's Hong Kong Island branch and handle the matter of opening an overseas account.

Although Jia Jingwen is a Taiwanese resident and therefore cannot invest in A-shares, it is very convenient for her to open an international investment account in Hong Kong.

In just over two days, they had opened investment accounts on Hong Kong Island.

After confirming that there were no problems with these accounts, Lingyun used her connections with Yuanda Hong Kong Island branch and Bank of China to inject HK$300 million into each of their investment accounts and began investing in the international financial market.

The investment team at Yuanda Hong Kong Island branch was specifically responsible for operating these overseas investment accounts.

Unlike in the A-share market where he only buys long-term winning stocks and doesn't use leverage, Lingyun doesn't have as many concerns in the international financial market!

Under his remote control, these overseas investment accounts were leveraged at least five times, directly increasing each person's capital to HK$1800 million.

There are almost no restrictions on the scope of investment, including stocks, futures, foreign exchange, gold, etc. You can do whatever makes money.

A global financial crisis is about to erupt. In Lingyun's eyes, the international financial market is full of gold, and it's just a matter of how he likes to harvest it!

In just two or three days, the overseas investment accounts of each of Leilei and her friends had already generated more than ten million Hong Kong dollars in investment profits.

Faced with this result, the women were shocked, and then overjoyed!

As a result, they were all extremely grateful to Ling Yun, their eyes filled with adoration and love, so intense that they could almost melt him on the spot.

On Wednesday, Chen, the former deputy director of Beijing TV, successfully joined Starlight Culture Company as its CEO.

At Lingyun's behest, on his second day at Starlight Culture, General Manager Chen launched a reform and internal restructuring campaign within the company.

Once the reforms are completed, Starlight Culture will quickly enter a period of rapid development, expand its scale, and invest heavily in several high-quality film and television dramas.

They also plan to sign more promising young actors, as well as several established actors with considerable talent and good character.

No one knows better than Ling Yun which young actors have great potential and which have excellent acting skills and won't have a bad career.

The day after Mr. Chen joined the company, Ling Yun injected 50 million yuan into the company in one go for its development.

This is just the first step. He will inject more funds into the company in the future, prompting Starlight Culture to rise like a rocket.

It's already Friday afternoon, and I've been busy all day.

The top-floor conference room of the CIC headquarters building.

Lingyun is currently meeting with the decision-makers of the joint investment team to discuss the trend of international oil prices.

"Shouldn't we close our positions now? Lingyun, we've made over 400 million in this round, that's more than enough!"

"Our airline's investment department also invests in international crude oil futures to hedge against the risks brought about by fluctuations in oil prices."

"But I've never been so terrified. Earning double my money in a week, I even feel like I'm making money in a way that's a bit unethical!"

The deputy general manager of China Southern Airlines' investment department has once again suggested closing out the positions; this is the third time he has suggested doing so in two days.

"Hahaha"

A burst of laughter erupted in the meeting room, and everyone laughed.

Amidst the laughter, the way everyone looked at Ling Yun was no longer one of disdain, but only admiration and praise.

The performance of international crude oil futures prices over the past week, coupled with the remarkable investment profits of the joint investment team, has completely dispelled all doubts!

After the laughter subsided, Director Xie nodded in agreement.

"Lingyun, I also think it's time to close out our positions. Let's lock in the profits from this short position first, and we might even be able to reverse course and go long."

"The war between Russia and Georgia in South Ossetia is raging, and Nigerian rebels are launching increasingly frequent attacks on their country's oil-producing regions."

"Based on past experience, wars that occur in or near oil-producing regions often lead to a surge in international oil prices."

"Under these circumstances, international oil prices could rebound strongly at any time, which is why I believe it's time to close out my positions."

The two directors' words immediately drew agreement from others.

Ling Yun glanced at them, smiled, and shook his head.

"Gentlemen, it's not time to close out these short positions and take profits yet. To be honest, I'm waiting for an even bigger market move."

"The South Ossetian war is a foregone conclusion. Russia's strength completely overwhelms Georgia, and the war will probably be over in just a few days."

"As for the ongoing attacks by Nigerian rebels on their oil-producing regions, and other international events, these factors cannot yet determine the current trend of international oil prices."

"What truly determines the current trend of international oil prices is the increasingly deteriorating international economic and financial market situation, such as..."

Just then, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open.

Secretary Zhou strode in, his face full of excitement.

"International oil prices suddenly started to fall rapidly, Lingyun. In just two or three minutes, international oil prices dropped by more than three dollars."

"Based on our team's holdings, we made over 270 million in just two or three minutes, more than doubling our money. This speed at which we make money is simply insane."

Just as Secretary Zhou was introducing the situation, a near-boiling noise from the office area outside surged into the conference room like a tidal wave.

"Splash!"

Several directors simultaneously pushed back their chairs and stood up abruptly.

Their eyes widened in disbelief, and they gasped in astonishment.

"International oil prices have started to plummet? How is that possible? Shouldn't they be rebounding strongly?"

"With a drop of over three dollars in such a short time, has the market gone mad? Or has something earth-shattering happened?"

"With the South Ossetian war compounded by the Nigerian civil war, and the unresolved Middle East crisis, international oil prices shouldn't be rising at all! This doesn't make sense!"

While exclaiming in surprise, everyone turned to look at Ling Yun, instinctively seeking answers from him.

Looking at Ling Yun again, he seemed completely at ease, nodding with a smile.

"I think I know why international oil prices suddenly plummeted, just like I said earlier..."

Before he could finish speaking, a burst of excited cheers suddenly erupted from outside.

"Fantastic! International oil prices have fallen below $114, and our investment profit has exceeded 800 million!"

Ling Yun quickly looked towards the office area, and his tone of voice immediately changed.

"Let's go to the trading area. The time I've been waiting for to close my position is almost here. As for the real reason for the plunge in international oil prices, we'll talk about it as we walk."

With that, he took the lead and walked out of the meeting room.

The others exchanged quick glances and hurriedly followed.

As they walked, several investment directors involuntarily thought of Goldman Sachs' fuel hedging strategy and couldn't help but shudder!

At this rate of plunge in international oil prices, it won't be long before airlines go bankrupt!
