The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Twenty minutes later, Lingyun drove back into the west gate of Haizi.

But this time it wasn't to report on work or thoughts; instead, it was to meet with Deputy Director Zhang in a building inside the West Gate.

The two SUVs that followed parked in the designated parking spaces outside and did not come in.

In a short while, Ling Yun met with Deputy Director Zhang.

After exchanging greetings, Deputy Director Zhang immediately got to the point.

"What I'm about to tell you needs to be kept strictly confidential, and it's not convenient to say it over the phone, which is why I called you here."

"Okay, I'm all ears."

Ling Yun nodded slightly, his expression immediately becoming much more serious.

"Relax, there's no need to be so serious here. It's not a bad thing, it's a good thing."

Deputy Director Zhang said with a smile, then changed the subject.

"Your previous schemes against Goldman Sachs, the traps you set for their crude oil futures trading department, have worked, and with remarkable success and devastating effect!"

"Since the outbreak of the financial crisis, especially from yesterday to today, during the period of violent fluctuations in international oil prices, Goldman Sachs' crude oil futures trading department has made a series of mistakes, resulting in huge losses."

"Information from New York indicates that Goldman Sachs' crude oil futures division has suffered losses of no less than $100 billion, which is absolutely adding insult to injury for Goldman Sachs, which is already in a severe liquidity crisis."

"As a result, the department director committed suicide by jumping off a building in front of Goldman Sachs headquarters. It's said that he lost his entire fortune and was burdened with hundreds of millions of dollars in debt..."

"what!"

With a gasp, Ling Yun was startled.

"Holy crap! Tommy actually jumped off a building and committed suicide. In the international crude oil futures trading market, this guy was an absolute titan whose every move could cause an earthquake."

"I never imagined he would lose so badly. Not only did he lose all his wealth, but he also incurred hundreds of millions of dollars in debt. Just how high was his leverage?"

As he spoke, he began to laugh gleefully.

Seeing his performance, Deputy Director Zhang was stunned for a moment, then burst into laughter.

Tommy's suicide has caused quite a stir on Wall Street, directly exacerbating the serious liquidity crisis facing Goldman Sachs. Originally, Goldman Sachs was in a slightly better position than Morgan Stanley, but now the situation has been completely reversed.

"According to reliable intelligence, shortly after Tommy's suicide, Goldman Sachs' board of directors urgently contacted financial giants such as Buffett and the Rothschild family, sparing no expense to raise funds in exchange for equity."

"There's another matter. Anthony, the CEO of Goldman Sachs' Shanghai branch, had just finished negotiations with various airlines when, just half an hour later, he was directly dismissed by the New York headquarters and ordered to return to New York immediately to report on his work."

"Anthony's dismissal is likely related to Tommy's poor decision-making and suicide. He also invested a lot of money in Tommy's operations, and now he's lost everything."

"A loss of over ten billion dollars in one go will definitely trigger an investigation at Goldman Sachs headquarters. They might even trace it back to you through Anthony. Goldman Sachs is no pushover, which is why Shenzhen has increased the number of special agents protecting you!"

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun's expression immediately became even more serious.

He knew better than anyone what Goldman Sachs was like.

They're a bunch of guys who'll stop at nothing for profit; there's nothing they won't do!

In his previous life, Hui Pu was able to eliminate the British conman who had swindled him out of $90 billion, along with his entire family, lawyers, and key witnesses, leaving only one person to pay off the debt.

Given Goldman Sachs' strength and resources, if they wanted to do this, they would certainly do it much more ruthlessly and unscrupulously than Hedge Fund.

Thinking about this, Ling Yun was still somewhat nervous.

After all, it involves life and death, and the safety of family and those around us. It would be strange not to be nervous!

Deputy Director Zhang keenly noticed his change in mood and quickly offered a few words of comfort.

"You don't need to worry too much. This is China. Even if Goldman Sachs has connections everywhere, they can't act recklessly. Relevant departments have strengthened protection to ensure the safety of you and your family."

"If Goldman Sachs makes any unusual moves, the relevant departments will swiftly retaliate. If necessary, we can also conduct some transactions with Goldman Sachs. I believe Goldman Sachs is unwilling to give up this huge market of ours."

Ling Yun nodded and chimed in with a few words of agreement.

"Thank you for your concern and support, SZ. You are right, Goldman Sachs is absolutely unwilling to give up this huge market, which is the most dynamic and has the greatest development potential in the world."

"Especially against the backdrop of the global financial crisis, Goldman Sachs has no choice but to grit its teeth and admit defeat if it wants to climb out of this deep pit, not to mention that it was originally due to their inferior skills."

They then continued their discussion.

In addition to the series of events that occurred at Goldman Sachs headquarters, Deputy Director Zhang also reported on some other matters.

For example, the original plan was to arrest Anthony and then deport him.

Since Goldman Sachs headquarters was preparing to clean house itself, after some deliberation, the relevant departments decided not to take action for the time being.

And he allowed Anthony and his close associates to leave Shanghai, leaving the problem to Goldman Sachs headquarters to handle.

With the methods of those bastards at Goldman Sachs, once they return to New York, Anthony and his men will absolutely suffer a fate worse than death, and being completely bankrupt is a certainty!

Arresting them domestically would only benefit these bastards and increase the likelihood of Ling Yun being exposed!

Then there are those business spies that Anthony and his team bribed; we can continue to dig deeper and use a long-term strategy to catch bigger fish!

It's not too late to secretly arrest these traitors after Goldman Sachs headquarters has dealt with Anthony and his associates!

After a moment's thought, Ling Yun nodded in agreement to the plan presented by Deputy Director Zhang.

After finishing this matter, Deputy Director Zhang introduced some other things.

These include large-scale coordinated injections of funds into financial markets by central banks worldwide, the Federal Reserve's expansion of its liquidity tools, the escalating run on money market funds, and the SEC's accelerated push for a ban on short selling.

Ling Yun then conducted an in-depth analysis of the development of this global financial crisis, stating with certainty that...

The damage this financial crisis has caused to the global economy and financial markets is far more astonishing than anyone imagined!

His tone suddenly became more serious at the end.

"Based on my analysis and judgment, the US government is very likely to propose a large-scale bailout plan this weekend, which could be as large as one trillion US dollars."

"Regarding this issue, I previously reported to SZ that this bailout plan might encounter setbacks in both houses of Congress. Once the two parties reach an agreement on the distribution of pork, the bailout plan will eventually be passed."

"Once this bailout plan is implemented, it will inevitably have a huge impact on the global economy and financial markets. We need to prepare in advance and make good use of this opportunity."

Deputy Director Zhang gave him a deep look several times, then nodded with a smile.

"I must say, your ability to accurately predict global financial market trends is absolutely unparalleled; no one can match it!"

"Since you've brought this up, I might as well give you some inside information. Intelligence indicates that the US Treasury Department is preparing a massive bailout plan."

"I will relay everything you just said to SZ verbatim. We will prepare contingency plans in advance, so you don't need to worry."

Ling Yun paused for a moment, but didn't respond to that!

A few minutes later, the conversation ended.

Just as Ling Yun was about to take his leave, Deputy Director Zhang suddenly patted him on the shoulder approvingly.

"SZ asked me to pass on a message: what you said before was absolutely right. This devastating global financial crisis is a huge disaster for the whole world."

"For our country, the benefits outweigh the drawbacks; it could even be described as a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity for development, a national destiny that we absolutely cannot afford to miss..."

The moment Ling Yun heard the words "national destiny," he suddenly felt a chill run down his spine and his whole body tremble!

What else could this be but a once-in-a-millennium opportunity for the nation's destiny?

Starting this year, the entire country has taken off in just over a decade!

More importantly, the fate of this nation is closely related to me!
