The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, it was already around 7 p.m.

After finishing a fairly substantial boxed lunch in the rest area, Lingyun returned to her workstation and continued to closely monitor international oil price trends.

He had just returned, and before he had even settled into his chair, several traders nearby suddenly cheered in unison.

"Look, international oil prices have fallen below $111! It's practically plummeting!"

"That's absolutely true. The speed of this decline is truly outrageous. It'll only take a few minutes for it to break below the $110 mark!"

Ling Yun, who was about to sit down, was startled by the sudden cheers and muttered a curse to himself.

This is nothing, what's the big deal!

When international oil prices suddenly drop to $40, won't you guys be so excited you'll be jumping for joy?

Unlike his nonchalant attitude, Mr. Xie and his colleagues were all beaming with excitement.

They were all staring intently at the largest electronic screen on the wall, their gazes burning with fervor!

as predicted!

International oil prices have just fallen below $111 and are now at $110.9, very close to the first liquidation line set by Lingyun!

Seeing international oil prices continue to plummet, Mr. Xie and his colleagues raised their fists in celebration.

"That's fantastic! We've made nearly 40 million US dollars, or 300 million RMB, bringing our total investment profit to a staggering 1.1 billion RMB! It's like a dream!"

"Awesome! If we can close the positions smoothly as planned, we can make 1.2 billion today, a six-fold profit in just one week! I never even dared to dream of that!"

Amidst the cheers, everyone turned to look at Ling Yun.

Without exception, everyone's eyes were exceptionally intense, filled with both admiration and curiosity!

As one of the few insiders, Zhou and General Manager Xie were filled with envy when they realized that Ling Yun had invested 300 million yuan, giving him a stake of more than one-sixth.

The calculation couldn't be simpler: in just one week, Ling Yun personally made a profit of 200 million yuan in the international crude oil futures market.

If we add the 15% investment profit dividend and the dividends from the Yuanda Group investment team.

There are also larger securities investment teams downstairs, as well as investment dividends from the Hong Kong branch of Yuanda Group, which is shorting international financial markets.

If all these investment profits and dividends are added together, Lingyun's weekly dividends will be an incredibly high figure.

This number is at least 500 million, and could even be as high as 1 billion.

Thinking of this, Zhou Mi and the others secretly clicked their tongues in amazement, and were somewhat envious.

But they weren't jealous, because they knew that Ling Yun deserved it all!

Without Lingyun's accurate predictions and god-like command, neither the various airlines nor Yuanda Group could have achieved such a dreamlike investment result; they wouldn't even dare to imagine it!

Looking at Ling Yun, he was intently watching the international oil price trend, completely absorbed.

The next second, international oil prices suddenly dropped, instantly hitting $110.6.

Ling Yun's smile widened even more, and he immediately issued a reminder.

"Attention everyone, international oil prices are about to fall below $110.5. All teams should close their positions as planned, and pay close attention to the trading techniques."

"Buying is booming right now, and countless bulls are frantically trying to save themselves. Closing out positions is perfectly fine. Don't be impatient. Everything is ready, the time is ripe, and I want the perfect result!"

As soon as he finished speaking, a large number of traders responded enthusiastically.

"Got it, are you going to watch our performance?"

As they spoke, everyone sprang into action, each one brimming with excitement.

The guys responsible for liaising with the teams in Hong Kong and Singapore quickly grabbed the encrypted phone and relayed Ling Yun's message.

Just two or three minutes later, a burst of ecstatic cheers suddenly erupted in the trading area.

"$110.5! International oil prices have indeed triggered the first liquidation level, awesome!"

"Holy crap! International oil prices have plummeted, and we're making a fortune!"

Everyone cheered, so much so that they forgot to start the transaction immediately.

It wasn't until Ling Yun's resolute voice came from the speakers that everyone was instantly jolted awake!

"Start closing out positions! Now's not the time to celebrate. Wait until 6 AM tomorrow, then everyone'll have plenty of time to celebrate!"

A word to wake up the dreamer!

Everyone quickly came to their senses and sprang into action.

In the blink of an eye, the trading area was filled with the sound of keyboards being pounded, which sounded extremely noisy, yet was like heavenly music!

As everyone moved, short-selling orders of only twenty or thirty lots flew out of everyone's fingertips like snowflakes and into the international crude oil futures trading market.

As Lingyun said, there was strong buying interest in the international crude oil futures market at that time.

As soon as these short-selling orders appear on the market, they are snapped up by countless buyers of all sizes around the world without the slightest hesitation.

The countless long positions, large and small, that took these short positions were all trading while wiping away tears, swallowing their pride and blood, and continuing to trade.

They can't just not trade; not trading means they can't close their long positions, which means margin calls or even being wiped out!

Stubbornly holding on will only cause losses to continue to grow rapidly until you are bankrupt and back to square one!

But as long as you trade, you're essentially handing over most, or even all, of the wealth you've earned through half a lifetime of hard work to countless short sellers on the opposing side.

With countless small, scattered orders being executed at breakneck speed, the joint investment team finally began to reap their first real harvest, and the amount of the harvest was extremely astonishing!

Across the ocean, in New York.

Goldman Sachs.

Before dawn, Tommy had already arrived at Goldman Sachs headquarters.

Then he took to his office to personally direct the strangulation of all bulls in the global crude oil futures market.

Just as Lingyun had guessed, Goldman Sachs reacted faster than any other person or institution, and had already quietly made arrangements several days in advance.

As a result, Goldman Sachs immediately became one of the biggest winners after international oil prices began their precipitous drop today.

In this situation, it's hard to believe that they weren't colluding with the New York Mercantile Exchange.

"Tommy, international oil prices have fallen to $110.2. What's the next step? Should we continue to push prices down, or immediately reverse course and go long?"

"The continued plunge in international oil prices has already triggered panic in the market. Now, by continuing to push prices down, we can definitely drive them even lower."

On the phone, a senior manager was asking for investment advice, his voice unusually excited.

Tommy glanced at international oil prices and gave instructions without hesitation.

"Keep dumping it! International oil prices are still some distance from our target. As long as I don't call to stop, keep dumping."

"It would be best if the market could create a sense of panic. Only in this way can we collect enough shares at a loss, so that we can make more money when we go long."

"Understood, boss. Let's continue dumping shares."

The senior manager responded excitedly.

After hanging up the phone, Tommy glanced at the time on his computer.

Then he took out his phone, ready to call the other organizations involved in the coordinated operation.

Just then, a series of piercing alarm sounds came from outside the window.

Tommy turned and looked out the window in surprise, then picked up the landline and made a call to his secretary.

"Julia, what's with the alarm outside? Go ask security about it. Today's operation is crucial and can't be interrupted."

"There's one more thing. Call Hayes and ask him about the five futures accounts of China Grand Group. See if they've made any moves."

As soon as he finished speaking, the beautiful secretary's voice came through.

"Understood, boss. I'll investigate right away."

"OK"

Tommy nodded and hung up the phone.

Just three or four minutes later, the beautiful secretary knocked on the door and entered the office to begin her report.

"Boss, a few long positions in international crude oil futures just committed suicide by jumping off a building. They jumped from the headquarters of Castle Fund, and they might have been clients of Castle Fund."

"Quite a few long positions in crude oil futures have committed suicide by jumping off buildings today. This is the fourth wave. The police are stationed on the streets, and they immediately sound the alarm whenever someone jumps to their death..."

The beautiful secretary spoke calmly, maintaining a professional smile throughout.

His tone was as if he were talking about what to have for breakfast today, completely devoid of emotion!
