The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

"Coward! He only knows how to commit suicide to escape defeat, he doesn't even have the courage to try again. He deserves to die!"

Tommy turned his head to look out the window with disdain and made a few sarcastic remarks with a cold laugh.

He then looked away and gazed at the beautiful secretary opposite him.

The beautiful secretary instantly understood and immediately continued to report the situation.

According to Hayes' report, the five futures accounts of China Grand Group remained completely inactive; they did not take the opportunity to add to their positions or increase their holdings.

Tommy paused for a moment, then nodded slightly.

"That's more like it. With that little bastard's sharp eyes and ruthless style, he won't stop until he's stuffed."

"It's alright, we can let them have a taste of the spoils this time. There will be plenty of opportunities to deal with these guys later."

"Tell Hayes to keep a close eye on those five futures accounts of Yuanda Group and see at what price they will close their positions."

"If they don't know when to stop, we won't hold back. This time, we can teach them a small lesson."

As soon as he finished speaking, the beautiful secretary nodded immediately.

"Okay, boss, I'll inform Hayes right away."

After saying that, she turned and left the office.

Tommy closed the office door and glanced at the international oil price chart.

In just a short time, international oil prices have fallen to $110, and there is no sign that the downward trend will stop.

More importantly, this is still not the target price set by Goldman Sachs.

Tommy still did not issue a liquidation order, allowing his investment team to continue dumping shares relentlessly.

Seeing international oil prices fall below $110, he sneered, picked up his phone, and dialed Anthony's number.

After the call connected and they exchanged greetings, he quickly got to the point.

"Anthony, do you have any way to get information about the investment team at Yuanda Group? I'd like to learn more about them."

"With international oil prices plummeting today, the investment team from Yuanda Group must have made some moves, but just like us, they're short sellers wielding sickles."

"Hahaha, we're actually in the same trench as that little bastard, how interesting."

Anthony's loud laughter rang out, followed by some good news.

"One of my guys used to work for Broad Group. He's heard some things these past few days, and Broad Group's move this time is quite significant."

"They seem to have organized a twelve-person investment team to conduct transactions behind closed doors somewhere at the group's headquarters, probably dealing with international crude oil futures."

"The one pulling the strings behind the scenes is probably that bastard Ling Yun. Nobody has any contact with this investment team, but I'll find a way..."

Tommy's eyes lit up, and he nodded excitedly, saying:

"I believe you can do it. As long as you're willing to spend the money, there's no fortress that can't be breached. Goldman Sachs has no shortage of money."

"We must grasp that little bastard's investment strategy as soon as possible so that we can set targeted traps for them."

"Understood, I'm working on that."

Anthony responded confidently.

They then continued their discussion on the issue.

Across the ocean, in Beijing.

After international oil prices successfully fell below $110, the second liquidation order was triggered.

This time, without Lingyun needing to remind them, all the traders immediately sprang into action, continuing to close out their positions in small, dispersed orders.

While they were busy, Director Fang from the Security Department of the Civil Aviation Administration of China suddenly came over and called Ling Yun to the conference room, saying that he had something to report to him.

Ling Yun nodded and followed him to the small conference room.

After closing the door, Director Fang immediately reported the situation in a low voice with a serious expression.

"The State Administration of Taxation just received news from State A that Goldman Sachs has made a move, targeting the investment team of Yuanda Group and preparing to infiltrate them."

"The other party mentioned your name more than once during the conversation, and you are their ultimate target. They are trying to find a way to obtain your investment strategy so they can set a trap."

"It is clear that Goldman Sachs has determined that you were directing the Yuanda Investment team and the Hong Kong branch to carry out the transactions behind the scenes, but they did not mention the joint investment team."

"Based on this situation, Goldman Sachs is unaware of the joint investment team's existence. Director Li asked me to remind you to be extra careful, and the security department will also strengthen its confidentiality measures."

Upon hearing this news, Ling Yun was not worried at all; on the contrary, he was overjoyed.

As soon as Director Fang finished speaking, he immediately offered a solution.

"Great! It was expected that Goldman Sachs would target the Yuanda Group investment team. It's also a good thing for the joint investment team; we can take advantage of it."

"Goldman Sachs' focus on the Yuanda Group investment team will inevitably cause it to overlook the existence of the joint investment team, which will benefit the joint investment team in carrying out its actions."

"However, I still want to remind Chairman Zhao and President Wang that we can allow them to leave a small loophole for infiltration, but we must ensure that the core members are not bribed."

"The core members I'm referring to include President Wang and Zhou Hua, among others. Once the other operators are infiltrated, we can take advantage of them and use their scheme against them."

Director Fang paused for a moment, then smiled and made a few remarks.

"Hahaha, they're playing the art of war now. Those guys at Goldman Sachs are really unlucky. Of all people to choose, you're destined to be their opponent. They're going to get played like fools."

"Don't worry, someone will notify Chairman Zhao and General Manager Wang, and Chairman Zhao will be asked to remind your three friends that your message will also be relayed."

"Chairman Zhao and his team are experienced and will definitely be able to put on a good show. With the covert support from relevant departments, there won't be any problems."

"That's good. That's exactly what I wanted—to have everything under control."

Ling Yun nodded in satisfaction, then changed the subject.

"All members of the joint investment team, as well as the investment departments of each airline, must strengthen their confidentiality measures."

"If we have a few more big market events like today, the investment departments of various airlines will make huge profits from the international crude oil futures market, which will eventually attract the attention of international capital institutions."

"Now we can only hope that this attention comes as late as possible, and we must also prepare for the worst."

As he said this, the admiration in Director Fang's eyes deepened even more.

After a moment's thought, he gave a low reply.

"I will report these issues to Director Li tomorrow. It would be more appropriate for the General Administration to handle these matters."

"An excuse is easy to find: the General Administration of Customs can issue a document requiring all airlines to strengthen their security measures. Such documents are perfectly normal."

"Specifically, for each airline's investment department and a few key personnel, we can provide one-on-one reminders about confidentiality..."

Next, they continued to discuss security-related matters.

Just then, a burst of excited cheers suddenly erupted from the office area outside.

"At $109.6, international oil prices have hit the third liquidation level; it's time to liquidate your positions!"

"International oil prices are still falling. If we close our positions later, can we earn even more?"

Hearing the cheers coming from outside, Ling Yun immediately stopped talking.

"International oil prices have hit the third liquidation level. I need to go out and check it out, lest some guys hesitate."

With that, Ling Yun strode toward the door.

Director Fang glanced at the doorway and immediately followed.

In a short while, they had left the conference room.

Immediately afterwards, a resolute voice rang out from the office area; it came from Ling Yun.

"Listen up, all traders! Immediately close all short positions in every account, leave not a single one!"

"After closing out your positions, take a moment to adjust your mindset and be prepared to switch from short to long positions at any time."

Once this trading order was issued, there was no room for maneuver.

"receive"

Numerous traders responded enthusiastically and sprang into action.

Half an hour later, at the headquarters building of AVIC.

Mr. Kong, who had been sitting in front of his computer closely monitoring international oil price trends, stared in disbelief at a message he had just received on his encrypted phone.

The text message was sent by Secretary Zhou; it was concise and to the point, and filled with joy.

"Phase one mission completed, investment profits exceeding 1.3 billion, a return of 6.5 times."

Looking at this short message, Mr. Kong even felt a bit like he was in a dream.

As expected, this kid is amazing!

After making a few remarks, Mr. Kong suddenly remembered something.

He quickly picked up the red secure phone on his desk and started making calls.

The call was quickly connected, and he excitedly began to report the situation.

"Report to SZ: The first phase results from the joint team are in. The investment yielded a profit of 1.3 billion in one week, a profit margin of 6.5 times..."
