The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

As Lingyun predicted, the recovery momentum of international oil prices was exceptionally strong.

Starting around 4 p.m. on Tuesday, in less than half a day, international oil prices surged by more than six dollars, rising rapidly from $109 to around $115.

Faced with such a phenomenal market, everyone on the joint investment team was extremely excited.

Everyone quickly calculated the figures: based on the joint investment team's holdings, the profit from this investment exceeded $300 million, far surpassing the previous return.

Amid cheers and celebrations, everyone turned to look at Ling Yun, awaiting his trading instructions.

Everyone's eyes were filled with intense admiration.

Some of the young traders even unconsciously had a hint of admiration in their eyes.

Ling Yun remained unmoved, keeping a close eye on international oil price trends.

As we were talking, international oil prices had already reached $115.5.

This latest price means that the joint investment team has earned approximately 170 million.

Just then, President Kong came up and gently nudged Ling Yun's arm.

"Xiaoling, is it really possible for international oil prices to surge to $120 today? This rebound is really quite exaggerated."

As soon as he finished speaking, Mr. Sun, who had followed him, immediately chimed in with a few words of agreement.

"I think it's a bit risky. Going over ten dollars a day is like a rollercoaster ride; people with weak hearts really can't handle it."

"Should we call it a day? Making over two billion in just over two days—I never even dared to dream of such a thing before."

Ling Yun turned to look at the two vice-ministerial level officials, smiled, and shook his head.

"It's not time to close out positions yet. I'm sure that by tomorrow night at the latest, international oil prices will definitely reach $120."

"My liquidation target for the joint investment team is $119. Like I said, we won't make the last penny."

"The reason why international oil prices have rebounded so fiercely is because there are dark forces manipulating the market behind the scenes, and these dark forces should be the major financial institutions on Wall Street."

"Before the global financial crisis broke out, this was their last chance to profit from global short sellers by going long. Given the greedy nature of these bastards..."

Just then, a cheer suddenly erupted from the trading area.

"$116! International oil prices have gone completely mad!"

"Wow, we made another fifty million dollars! This is a huge windfall!"

The moment he heard the cheers, Ling Yun quickly stopped talking and turned his head to look at the international oil prices on the big screen TV.

Both Mr. Kong and Mr. Sun stared wide-eyed at the electronic screen.

When they saw that international oil prices had soared to $116.2, they were speechless and never mentioned closing their positions again.

Just then, Ling Yun finally issued the transaction order ahead of schedule.

He stepped forward, picked up the microphone from his workstation, and his clear and firm voice instantly resonated throughout the entire trading area.

"Attention everyone, once international oil prices break through $119, immediately begin to gradually close out your positions to lock in profits from this long position."

"The plan is as follows: close 40% of the position at $119, 30% at $119.3, and the remaining 30% at $119.6, leaving no positions open."

"The Hong Kong Island and Singapore investment teams are doing the same thing, closing their positions in sync with everyone else. The operational strategy is the same as last time: distributing shares in small, dispersed orders."

"After closing out these positions, we don't need to rush into a full-scale long/short strategy. We can remain quiet for a couple of days and observe the market situation before making our move!"

"brush"

All the traders turned to look at the same time, responding enthusiastically.

"receive"

As soon as the words were spoken, everyone immediately got to work.

They might assign tasks and quickly formulate a liquidation plan, or they might pick up an encrypted phone and report the situation to their teams in Hong Kong and Singapore.

As the operation unfolded, everyone was astonished.

"This young man is truly ruthless. If international oil prices really break through $119, he could make five hundred million dollars in this one go. That's incredibly impressive!"

"Only this young master could have held out this long. Anyone else wouldn't have, let alone pocketed the $119 already!"

Just as everyone was discussing this, Ling Yun took out his encrypted phone and sent a text message with lightning speed.

"$120, clear out in one click"

After sending the text message, he put his phone in his pocket and continued to keep a close eye on international oil price trends.

Shanghai, the headquarters of Yuanda Group.

Upon receiving the text message, Mr. Wang couldn't help but gasp in shock.

Immediately afterwards, he handed his phone to Chairman Zhao and showed him the contents of the text message.

"hiss!"

As expected, Chairman Zhao also gasped in surprise.

Then his eyes lit up with excitement, and he quickly whispered a few words of exclamation.

"My god, this kid's getting crazier and crazier, but I love it!"

"Since he says international oil prices will break through $120, then it's bound to happen. Let's just execute the trading order!"

"We can make eight or nine hundred million this time. According to Lingyun's plan, we should immediately withdraw the principal and half of the profits to keep Goldman Sachs in suspense."

Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Wang chuckled.

"Hahaha, this is hilarious! Goldman Sachs is truly like a donkey pulling a millstone, being completely played by Ling Yun!"

"I immediately informed Li Jie and the others of the trading instructions, and told them to prepare to close their positions."

As he spoke, he walked toward the trading area.

In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, it was already around 2 a.m.

The harvest moment that everyone had been eagerly awaiting finally arrived as scheduled.

International oil prices, which were gradually leveling off, suddenly surged upwards for some unknown reason, instantly breaking through $119.

More importantly, after international oil prices broke through $119, they did not immediately retreat, but continued to rise slowly.

Upon seeing this, the office area instantly erupted in excitement.

Lingyun, who had been closely monitoring international oil prices, quickly issued a trading order.

"Everyone, start closing your positions. Pay attention to the speed of shipment."

At the command, all the traders immediately sprang into action, rapidly closing out their positions.

Two investment teams, one in Hong Kong Island and the other in Singapore, acted simultaneously, quickly and dispersedly selling off their long positions.

Meanwhile, international oil prices continue to rise.

About twenty minutes later, international oil prices rose to $119.3, triggering the second liquidation line.

About fifteen minutes later, the third stop-loss line set by Lingyun, at $119.6, was broken without any doubt!

Under Lingyun's command, the joint investment team immediately accelerated the liquidation process.

Just then, Mr. Sun suddenly leaned closer and whispered:

"Xiao Ling, international oil prices are rising more and more sharply. If we close our positions later, wouldn't we be able to earn more?"

Ling Yun turned to look at him and firmly shook her head in refusal.

"I'll say it again: it's too risky to not make a single penny! We need to be restrained when investing, and even more restrained when making money. We absolutely cannot be greedy!"

"We are merely participants in the international crude oil futures market, not rule-makers. We must play the game within the rules set by others!"

"If we show our strength too much, we'll definitely attract a siege from Wall Street. Those bastards might even pull the plug and eat up our principal and all our profits."

Mr. Kong and Mr. Sun were stunned, a chill running down their spines.

The next moment, Mr. Sun clicked his tongue and muttered a complaint.

"Unplugging the internet? Wall Street doesn't have that kind of bottom line, does it? That's utterly despicable!"

"They set the rules of the game in the international capital markets. If they don't even abide by them, how can others participate?"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun almost burst out laughing.

This is already outrageous? Things that are even more outrageous than this will dazzle you in the future!

Such as unplugging the network cable, deleting code, shutting down the server, and forcibly confiscating assets under various fabricated charges.

These tactics will become standard operating procedures for the US government and Wall Street, and they'll be incredibly adept at using them!
