The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

It took about forty minutes for the United Securities investment team to successfully close out their positions and completely suspend short selling of the US stock market.

The same was true for Yuanda Hong Kong Island branch, which quickly completed its liquidation, completely locking in the huge profits from this round of short selling.

Those state-owned investment teams that blindly follow Lingyun's lead acted even faster in liquidating their positions.

They received the relevant instructions last night and completed the liquidation before 1 a.m., but outsiders had no way of knowing it.

After confirming that both investment teams had successfully closed their positions and exited the market, Lingyun grabbed the microphone and announced loudly:

"There are still twenty minutes until the US stock market closes. Everyone can relax and take a break. We'll do a recap after the US market closes."

"After we get back to the hotel later, everyone can completely clear their minds, get a good night's sleep, and not think about stocks at all!"

"call!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, their tense nerves finally relaxing.

Just then, the investment director of CICC suddenly leaned closer and asked:

"We've now completely suspended short selling. Should we reverse course and go long? If we do switch entirely to long, when is the right time to enter the market?"

Ling Yun turned to look at the investment director, then at Chairman Lou and President Wang, who were all smiling.

He knew very well that this was the question that Chairman Lou and his group wanted to ask, and the investment director of CICC was just a mouthpiece.

Only by obtaining the answer to this question can the relevant investment teams of CIC and CICC make early moves to position themselves.

Ling Yun didn't hide anything and gave the answer in a low voice.

"Our next step is indeed to reverse our short position and go long, but not now, but tomorrow night or early the day after tomorrow. The exact time will depend on market conditions!"

"One thing must be clear: the overall downward trend in international financial markets remains unchanged. This reversal from short to long positions is merely a short-term rebound, and investors should not linger!"

As they were talking, Chairman Lou and General Manager Wang arrived.

"Thank you for reminding us, Lingyun. We will remember that and will definitely fight and retreat quickly."

Chairman Lou patted Ling Yun on the shoulder with a smile, making no attempt to hide anything.

Twenty minutes passed in a flash, and it was already four in the morning.

US stocks closed on time.

All three major indices plummeted, marking one of the largest single-day drops since 9/11, wiping out a total market capitalization of over a trillion dollars.

If the scope of the statistics is expanded to the international financial market, the total amount of wealth that evaporated out of thin air on this day would be in the tens of trillions of dollars!

Today's international financial markets are best described as a scene of carnage and bloodshed!

But just as the US stock market closed, cheers erupted in the United Securities investment team's office area, and everyone was overjoyed!

As the biggest mastermind behind the scenes, Ling Yun had no time to celebrate.

As he quickly packed his things, he said to Chairman Lou and the others:

"The international crude oil futures market hasn't closed yet. I need to go upstairs and check it out. Today's international crude oil futures market is just as exciting!"

"Most importantly, today is a crucial battle, and we cannot afford to make any mistakes!"

Chairman Lou and General Manager Wang exchanged a glance and nodded with smiles.

"You can go upstairs first. We can talk about the debriefing later; there's plenty of time!"

"Judging by your smug look, you've got this battle all figured out upstairs. Don't let those treacherous foreigners get away with it!"

No need to ask, Chairman Lou and his group are also in the know.

"Haha, you two can rest assured about that. I never go easy on those damned foreigners."

Ling Yun nodded with a smile.

Then he picked up his backpack and walked quickly toward the entrance of the office area.

Following closely behind, Director Xie and Zhong Tao, who were waiting in the rest area, quickly caught up.

In the blink of an eye, they had left the office area and taken the elevator upstairs.

Just then, an analyst suddenly shouted excitedly:

"Look everyone, the US SEC just released a major announcement, stating that starting tomorrow night, it will strengthen the regulation of naked short selling and immediately draft anti-naked short selling fraud regulations!"

"This is a short-selling ban. It seems the US government and the Federal Reserve are really desperate, resorting to this ultimate weapon. Fortunately, we had already liquidated our positions and exited the market, otherwise we would have been walking right into their trap."

Unsurprisingly, this bombshell news instantly set the entire office area ablaze.

Everyone was stunned and speechless!

Once everyone realized what was happening, they quickly went online to search for relevant financial news.

Within moments, everyone had confirmed this major news.

"boom!"

The entire office area instantly erupted in chaos; everyone was completely stunned by this bombshell.

"My God! It's actually true! The US SEC has really resorted to the short-selling ban, clearly driven to desperation!"

"That's incredible! Ling Yun actually pulled off that kind of extreme maneuver! I have to bow down to him!"

As everyone exclaimed in surprise, they all turned to look at Lingyun's workstation.

There was no one at the workstation; it was spotless.

Everyone turned to look at the office entrance, their eyes burning with fervor, even showing a hint of fanatical worship.

Upstairs is the joint investment team's office area.

As soon as they arrived at the entrance of the office area, Ling Yun and his team heard bursts of excited cheers.

"Look! International oil prices have surged to $97! They're unstoppable!"

"Wow, a whopping 6.6% increase! Is this really a sign of rising international oil prices? Can international oil prices really surge like this?"

"Hahaha, this full-fledged somersault was a stroke of genius! Lingyun is absolutely awesome!"

Hearing the cheers, Ling Yun's lips curled into a smug smile.

Director Xie, who was standing to the side, immediately gave him a thumbs up and showered him with praise!

"Your move was absolutely phenomenal! Even if I were to copy your trading instructions exactly, I couldn't do it this perfectly!"

"Given the amount of capital we've invested, if international oil prices really do surge to over $130, we'll make a fortune!"

Ling Yun turned to look at him and made a few joking remarks.

"Keep it low-key, keep it low-key, it's just basic stuff, the real show is yet to come!"

As he spoke, he took the lead into the office area, facing the cheers and eager gazes of everyone.

Seeing his expression, Director Xie, Zhong Tao, and the security guards from the General Administration who were standing guard at the entrance of the office area all burst into laughter.

As Lingyun entered the office area, everyone immediately turned to look at him.

When they saw it was him, everyone paused for a moment.

Immediately afterwards, the office area erupted in excitement.

"Slap slap slap"

Everyone stood up and gave Ling Yun the warmest applause.

The applause was accompanied by cheers that rose and fell.

"That's incredible, Lingyun! You're a true god of futures trading!"

"This operation was flawless, Lingyun! You deserve everyone's utmost respect."

Ling Yun raised his hand and waved to everyone, then gently pressed it down, jokingly saying loudly:

"What 'God of Futures Trading'? I wouldn't dare accept that title, and I have absolutely no interest in being an idol. I prefer to play the fool and quietly make a fortune!"

"Let's talk behind closed doors. We can joke around all we want here, but once we're outside, I hope everyone will never mention what happened here, let alone my name."

Everyone paused in surprise for a moment, then chuckled and nodded.

Well! This guy's gotten addicted to being the mastermind behind everything!

God knows how many financial institutions will be robbed and swindled by this guy and be left heartbroken!

Looking at Ling Yun again, he suddenly changed the subject.

"I just heard at the office entrance that international oil prices have broken through $97, with a daily increase of over 6.6%, a truly meteoric rise!"

"But I must say, this is just the beginning of this super bull market; the most exciting part is yet to come!"

"Everyone, please stay calm. Otherwise, when the climax arrives, you might be too hoarse to cheer and celebrate—that would be a real shame!"

"Hahaha"

A burst of laughter erupted from the crowd; everyone was laughing excitedly.

at the same time.

On the other side of the ocean in New York, someone is rapidly falling into hell!
