The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

When Ling Yun and Director Li entered the conference room, the two directors and deputy directors of the Civil Aviation Administration of China, as well as General Manager Kong and General Manager Sun, were already there, drinking tea and chatting.

By this time, all airlines had broken free from Goldman Sachs's treacherous fuel hedging agreement, thus resolving this major problem.

Although some of the penalty was paid, it was negligible compared to the huge investment profits earned in the international crude oil futures market during this period.

In this situation, everyone looked smug and pleased with themselves.

Upon seeing Director Li and Ling Yun enter, Director Li and General Manager Kong immediately stood up and greeted them with smiles.

After exchanging greetings, everyone took their seats.

After a few more casual chats and jokes, the meeting officially began.

Director Li scanned the crowd, smiled, and said in a loud voice:

"The purpose of this meeting is to summarize the joint investment initiative at this stage and to discuss and formulate the investment direction and plan for the next phase."

"At the outset of this joint investment initiative, our primary objective was to generate sufficient profits from the international crude oil futures market to offset the penalties incurred in terminating our contract with Goldman Sachs."

"The joint investment team has not only successfully completed its mission, but has also earned an astonishingly large profit from the international crude oil futures market, which is extremely beneficial to the development of the entire civil aviation system."

"Let's talk behind closed doors. Comrade Xiao Ling deserves immense credit for the joint investment team's remarkable achievements. It was he who led the joint investment team to create this miracle."

Having said that, he took the lead in clapping and nodded to Lingyun.

Following closely behind, Director Li and General Manager Kong applauded, applauding Ling Yun's outstanding performance, their eyes full of admiration.

Ling Yun quickly got up from his chair and nodded politely.

"You're too kind, leaders. I'm truly unworthy of such praise. This collaboration with the airlines is a win-win situation for both parties."

"Through this collaboration, the airlines successfully resolved a persistent and troublesome problem, and also earned huge profits from their investments."

"I also benefited greatly, making a lot of money and gaining a bigger stage to realize my ambitions. Incidentally, I also gave those scumbags on Wall Street a piece of my mind; I've had my eye on them for a long time..."

"Hahaha"

Everyone burst into laughter, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

After the laughter subsided, the meeting resumed.

During the ensuing discussion, Director Li, along with the two bureau chiefs and various executives, participated together.

The significant contributions made by Lingyun in this collaboration were acknowledged and highly praised.

It was also made clear once again that the huge dividend he was entitled to would be transferred to his bank account on time.

And a formal decision has been made that the cooperation will continue until the end of this year.

Alternatively, they could wait until international oil prices hit rock bottom before ending this joint investment in the international crude oil futures market.

The meeting did not end until 4:30 p.m.

Director Li and General Manager Kong got up to say goodbye and leave, but Ling Yun stayed behind.

At 5 PM, Chairman Lou of CIC and General Manager Wang of CICC will be coming to the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, along with several bigwigs from the People's Bank of China and the Financial Stability and Development Committee, to have a meeting with Director Li and Ling Yun.

After seeing Director Li and his group off, Ling Yun followed Director Li back to the office, where they prepared to wait for Chairman Lou and his group to arrive.

After entering and settling down, Director Li suddenly raised a question.

"Xiao Ling, under your guidance, several state-owned asset teams have earned massive investment profits in the international financial market recently, the amounts are quite astonishing."

"As you know, our country implements foreign exchange control policies. These huge profits from overseas investments cannot be directly transferred into the country, as that would be against regulations and would also have a certain impact on the domestic financial market."

"Now the question is, how to maximize the profits from these overseas investments? As a top professional in the financial field, do you have any good suggestions or methods?"

Ling Yun smiled and immediately offered the most perfect solution.

"This problem is not difficult to solve. As this devastating financial crisis sweeps the globe, the prices of all commodities except gold will plummet."

"Once these commodity prices hit rock bottom, we can jump in and buy them at the bottom. We can even take the opportunity to acquire shares in some resource-related listed companies, acting as saviors."

"For example, BHP Billiton and Rio Tinto, which are currently engaged in acquisition battles, as well as Brazilian iron ore giants like Vale, are the best targets, and now is the best time."

"If we can seize this opportunity to acquire partial stakes in these iron ore giants, we will undoubtedly gain a certain degree of initiative in the annual iron ore negotiations and no longer be led by the nose by them."

"And then there's Iraq, ravaged by the US. This so-called war on terror, sparked by a bag of laundry detergent, will probably be over in two or three years. Iraq is full of abandoned oil fields—those are gold mines!..."

"Wow—! What a huge appetite!"

Director Li was shocked and stared at Ling Yun with wide eyes.

The look in his eyes was as if he were looking at a monster!

In the blink of an eye, it was already around 8:40 pm.

Ling Yun drove back to Financial Street and returned to his duplex mansion.

He saw it as soon as he entered the door.

Leilei and Yanzi were sitting on the sofa in the living room, watching TV and chatting.

Unlike previous evenings, they were dressed more neatly tonight, rather than in sexy and alluring lace slip dresses.

In the center of the living room, there were ten large suitcases, two of which were black and belonged to Lingyun.

In addition, there are some luggage bags and purses on the coffee table and sofa in the living room.

This scene looks like a mass relocation.

Upon seeing Ling Yun return, the four beauties immediately stood up to greet him.

After greeting her, Da Meiyuan immediately began asking questions out of curiosity.

"Honey, Yanzi called us this afternoon and said we're moving, and we're leaving tonight."

"What's going on? Why are we moving? Where are we moving to? What happened? Is it dangerous?"

As she bombarded them with questions, the hearts of the women instantly leaped into their throats.

Yanzi was unaware of the details of this move. When she told Leilei and the others about it before, she was vague and unclear, which made them all very anxious!

Ling Yun casually put his arm around Da Meiyuan's slender waist, kissed her beautiful cheek, and then smiled as he explained the reason.

"Didn't I tell you before that I have competitors everywhere in the international financial market? Now a heavyweight competitor has its eye on me and is preparing to investigate me?"

"That's why I decided to move to a luxury villa in Chaoyang District. It's my house, registered under my mother's name, and the relevant information is kept confidential."

"That detached villa covers an area of ​​over 2,800 square meters. The total area of ​​the villa, including the basement, is over 1,700 square meters, and it includes an indoor heated swimming pool."

"The villa is right next to Chaoyang Park, with front and back gardens, and is surrounded by high walls, so it's very private. Once you move into that villa, you won't have to worry about being seen by your neighbors at all."

"I don't have to be as wary and cautious as I was when I lived here, especially Yuanyuan and Jingwen. I no longer have to worry about paparazzi taking pictures of me together..."

Next, he gave a brief introduction to the luxury villa.

He then opened his laptop and showed the interior and exterior of the luxurious villa.

Upon seeing the luxurious interior and exterior scenery, the eyes of the several beautiful women instantly lit up.

Compared to this duplex, the luxurious detached villa was even better, offering unparalleled privacy. Why would they refuse to move?

After introducing the luxurious villa, Ling Yun then talked about his experience of being thoroughly investigated by Goldman Sachs.

However, he did not mention Sheng's name, only saying that it was a very powerful international financial institution that was envious of his amazing investment performance and therefore launched an investigation.

For safety reasons, he asked Da Meiyuan and the others to be vigilant and never mention their relationship with him in public, not even on the phone.

When they enter or leave the villa area, they are picked up and dropped off by dedicated bodyguards in cars, instead of using their own vehicles.

Ling Yun also specifically instructed Jia Jingwen to stay in mainland China during this period and not to return to Taiwan!

Hearing his arrangements, the women were all speechless and nodded in response.

After explaining the precautions, Ling Yun got up and left the living room to go upstairs to his study to pack his things.

There are two desktop computers in the study. The hard drives must be removed and taken away, along with numerous documents and other items locked in the safe!

Starting tonight, this duplex mansion will become fishing bait, waiting for the fish to take the bait!
