The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

After a brief moment of shock, everyone started asking questions.

"With international oil prices continuing to plummet, why are you going long at this time? What's your basis for this decision?"

"That's right. This global financial crisis has just begun, and the risks are far from over. Isn't it too risky to go long now?"

Ling Yun glanced at everyone present and confidently gave his answer.

"The reason I decided to reverse my position and go long on international crude oil futures at this time is very simple: international oil prices are about to rebound, and this rebound is very strong. The opportunity is not to be missed."

"Here, I'll first explain the core logic behind the rebound in international oil prices, and then I'll discuss specific operational strategies. We still have enough time, and our team has time to make arrangements."

Everyone fell silent, their eyes all focused on him, filled with both curiosity and a touch of doubt.

After a brief pause, Ling Yun continued his eloquent speech.

"The first factor driving the strong rebound in international oil prices is the significant weakening of the US dollar. Today, the dollar fell by about 1.5% against the euro, which will drive funds back into crude oil futures, thereby pushing up international oil prices."

"The second factor is the decline in global crude oil inventories, with global gasoline inventories falling for eight consecutive weeks to a record low. In addition, the impact of Hurricane Ike on the supply side continues to unfold, providing fundamental support."

"The third factor is the demand for a technical rebound. International oil prices have fallen sharply and reached a key support level. A large number of stop-loss orders have been cleared, and short covering and the entry of a large amount of bargain-hunting funds will trigger a technical rebound."

"The fourth factor is the marginal easing of panic. According to reliable sources, the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve are discussing a joint bailout of AIG, preparing to provide AIG with at least $800 billion in secured revolving loans."

"The price AIG paid for this was pledging at least 80% of its shares to the U.S. Treasury and accepting a joint purge of management by the U.S. Treasury and the Federal Reserve, which is essentially a government takeover."

"The US government needs to invest at least $2000 billion to resolve AIG's problems. This bailout is just the beginning, but it can alleviate market sentiment to some extent and drive a rebound in international oil prices..."

Next, he combined the various information and intelligence he had gathered, as well as technical data, to conduct an in-depth analysis of the reasons for the rebound in international oil prices.

While he was doing his analysis, everyone opened their laptops and started searching online for relevant financial news and data.

The result is self-evident!

All of Ling Yun's points have been verified!

Some of this information is released in just half an hour to an hour, or even just a trivial financial news flash.

Looking at these freshly released financial news reports and flash news, everyone was secretly amazed.

Could it be that this young master has a pair of discerning eyes? He can always find the most valuable information from a vast sea of ​​data.

Then, by meticulously analyzing these messages, potential investment opportunities can be extracted, allowing for early strategic planning and decisive success!

Even if I had several more pairs of eyes, I might not have been able to discover this incredibly valuable information!

As they spoke, Lingyun had already explained the logic and reasons for the impending strong rebound in international oil prices.

Then, he changed the subject.

"Based on my estimation, international oil prices should really start to rebound tomorrow afternoon, giving us ample time to position ourselves."

"Starting today, until 3 or 4 pm tomorrow, as long as international oil prices remain below $90, the joint investment team can enter the market and continue to build long positions."

"This time, the investment is 10 billion RMB, leveraged 120 times. The operating strategy remains unchanged: diversify positions with small, dispersed orders to avoid attracting the attention of other international speculators."

As soon as he finished speaking, everyone nodded in unison.

"Understood, we'll assign tasks shortly."

Ling Yun smiled and nodded gently, then added some precautions and operational details.

After he finished making the arrangements, an investment manager suddenly asked a question.

"How long will this long position last? At what price will we close our position and exit?"

Ling Yun looked at the investment manager, thought for a moment, and then gave his answer.

"This strong rebound in international oil prices is just a flash in the pan, lasting no more than a week, before returning to its old downward trend."

"In view of this, we must fight and retreat quickly, and we must not linger in the battle. As for the target liquidation price, I cannot give an exact number at this time, but it should be above $120."

The moment this approximate target price was announced, everyone was astonished!

"Originally over $120, but now international oil prices have fallen below $90, that's a difference of at least $30! If that's the case, we'll make a killing!"

"A surge of over $30 in just a few trading days—this is an absolute super rally! Even if it's short-lived, it's still worth making a big deal out of."

"That's right. If you set up your position at $90, leverage it 120 times, and then close it at $120, you could make billions of dollars in one go. That's outrageous!"

Everyone started talking at once, and they were all extremely excited.

Ling Yun glanced around the room, then smiled and nodded confidently.

"That's right, this is a super bull market. If we seize this opportunity, we'll definitely earn just as much as we have in the past two days."

Hearing this definite answer, everyone became even more excited.

About twenty minutes later, the meeting ended, and everyone got up and left the meeting room to get back to work.

Ling Yun kept Director Fang, Secretary Zhou, and the two investment directors from China Eastern Airlines and Shanghai Airlines behind, saying he had something to discuss with them.

After everyone else left and the office door closed, he immediately got to the point.

"We've been secretly battling Goldman Sachs' crude oil futures division for so long, it's time to teach those bastards a lesson. This strong rebound in international oil prices is a golden opportunity!"

"Goldman Sachs is currently facing a severe liquidity crisis and will definitely try every means to raise funds. The international crude oil futures market is a very important channel for raising funds, and they will never let it go."

"With this get-rich-quick mentality, they are prone to impulsive decisions and lose their rational judgment of the international crude oil futures market. I plan to take advantage of this and set a deadly trap for Goldman Sachs..."

Director Fang and his colleagues exchanged a quick glance, instantly becoming eager to act.

The next moment, Director Fang asked with great enthusiasm:

"Tell me quickly, Lingyun, how do you plan to deal with these guys in Goldman Sachs' crude oil futures department? How do you plan to screw over Goldman Sachs?"

Ling Yun smiled confidently and turned to look at the two investment directors from Shanghai Airlines and China Eastern Airlines.

"This requires the cooperation of Shanghai Airlines and China Eastern Airlines' investment departments, and a small sacrifice, to make this trap designed specifically for Goldman Sachs flawless!"

"Actually, it's not really a sacrifice. The losses of Shanghai Airlines and China Eastern Airlines in the international crude oil futures market are negligible, and I will compensate them through other investment channels."

Without the slightest hesitation, the two investment directors nodded in unison.

"Just tell me, Lingyun, how do you need our cooperation? As long as it teaches those bastards at Goldman Sachs a lesson, we'll cooperate fully."

"If it weren't for your timely reminder, our two airlines would have been ripped off by those bastards at Goldman Sachs. Now that we have a chance for revenge, we can't let it slip by."

Seeing the two investment directors gritting their teeth, Ling Yun and Director Fang both burst into laughter.

"Hahaha, a gentleman doesn't leave a grudge unavenged!"
