The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

The US stock market closed at 4 a.m.

As Lingyun predicted, the US stock market, once again gripped by panic, ultimately closed with a drop of around 3.5%.

The financial sector suffered the most dramatic decline, with the banking index plunging 12%, marking the largest single-day drop in US stock market history!

Specifically, in the financial sector, there are countless small and mid-cap financial stocks that have plummeted by 80% or 90%.

The state of the US financial sector that night was so dire that every word was written in blood and tears!

The United Securities investment team, which completed a full-scale long-short reversal early yesterday morning, is now completely stuffed, with their coffers overflowing!

At 5:00 AM, the New York WTI crude oil futures market closed smoothly.

The closing price of international oil was $121.

The moment the NYSE closed, the joint investment team's office area erupted in unprecedented cheers, like a volcanic eruption.

"That was awesome! This rollercoaster ride tonight is something I can brag about for the rest of my life!"

"Damn, the market's finally closed! To be honest, the last thirty years of my life combined haven't been as exciting as tonight!"

"You're the best, Lingyun! Thank you for leading everyone in this thrilling game, and thank you for the generous reward!"

Everyone jumped up from their chairs, some cheering loudly, some waving their fists in celebration, some high-fiving each other, and some even twisting their waists and swaying their hips to dance.

Seeing everyone's near-madness, Ling Yun naturally wore a bright smile.

He had just experienced the same scene an hour earlier.

That was in the office area of ​​the United Securities investment team downstairs. Everyone was equally ecstatic and excited!

Amidst cheers, Director Li and General Manager Kong arrived together.

Overnight, these bigwigs all looked rather disheveled.

His face was oily, his eyes were bloodshot, his clothes were wrinkled, and his appearance was not very presentable!

However, this did not stop their eyes from shining with excitement!

Upon approaching, Deputy Director Li gently patted Ling Yun on the shoulder.

"Tonight's trading and reversal were perfect, Xiaoling! You've once again shown us what's what!"

"To achieve what you've done in international crude oil futures trading is truly unparalleled; it's breathtaking!"

Following closely behind, Mr. Kong and his colleagues echoed his sentiments, showering him with a string of compliments.

Ling Yun quickly offered some polite words, attributing the huge success of the evening to the concerted efforts of everyone in the team, and refusing to take credit for it!

Seeing his humility, the admiration in the eyes of the bigwigs deepened.

After exchanging a few lighthearted words, Mr. Sun suddenly jokingly said:

"Xiao Ling, based on your analysis and your swift, multi-faceted strategy, shouldn't we take a break for a while?"

"To be honest, such a high-intensity work pace is unbearable for anyone after a while!"

"Especially seeing so many traders and analysts in such an excited state, I'm genuinely worried, fearing that one of them might suddenly snap!"

Director Li and General Manager Kong exchanged a glance and nodded in agreement.

"That's true, we share the same concerns. It's time for everyone to get a good rest!"

"Let alone the traders and analysts who are under immense pressure with their huge workloads, even we bystanders are finding it hard to keep up!"

Ling Yun glanced at the several big shots and nodded with a smile.

"Everyone, don't worry. From now on, everyone on the joint investment team can take a good rest for a while."

"The exact duration of the break depends on how this financial crisis develops, but it's estimated to be no less than two months..."

"call!"

Everyone breathed a sigh of relief, and their smiles instantly became even brighter.

Immediately afterwards, Ling Yun picked up the microphone from his workstation and said loudly:

"I have some good news for everyone. From now on, you can all lie low and do nothing for a while..."

These words were immediately interrupted by thunderous applause and cheers.

It was early morning, around 7:30.

After arranging the investment strategies for dealing with the Asia-Pacific and European financial markets during the day, Lingyun took the elevator downstairs, ready to go home and rest.

As soon as I got into the car, Deputy Director Zhang called.

When the call connected, Deputy Director Zhang first offered his congratulations, praising Ling Yun for leading several investment teams to achieve remarkable results that evening.

He then told him with a smile that the news of the triumphant song had quickly reached Hai Zi, and several people from Shenzhen were amazed by it and praised him highly!

Ling Yun offered polite words, but his words betrayed his smugness.

After discussing that matter, Deputy Director Zhang finally got to the main topic.

"Xiao Ling, I heard that you adjusted the investment strategy for the joint investment team, changing it from short-term investment to medium- and long-term investment."

"Does this mean you'll have more free time now? And you won't be as busy as before?"

Ling Yun paused for a moment, then nodded in surprise.

"Indeed, it's time for the joint investment team to keep a low profile. Starting today, I won't need to go to the joint investment team's office every night to monitor the market and direct trading."

"Once the US government's massive bailout plan is implemented, the United Securities investment team will also adjust its strategy, and I will indeed have more free time then."

Upon hearing this, Deputy Director Zhang immediately chimed in:

"That's good. Remember to call me after you wake up this afternoon; there's something special I need to let you know."

"In addition, SZ has something she'd like to discuss with you. The exact time is still uncertain, but it should be sometime this afternoon."

Ling Yun smiled slightly and immediately responded.

"Okay, I'll go back and refresh myself, change into clean clothes, and contact you as soon as I wake up from my afternoon nap."

"That's settled then. See you this afternoon. Go back and get some rest."

Deputy Director Zhang responded with a smile and then ended the call.

A dozen minutes later, Ling Yun returned to the luxurious villa next to Chaoyang Park.

When he entered the villa, Yanzi and Leilei had already woken up and prepared breakfast, waiting for him to come back so they could have breakfast together.

Just like last Saturday morning, they were all very excited, their smiles brighter than flowers.

Upon seeing Lingyun return, they immediately surrounded her, bombarding her with questions about what had happened.

"Honey, did a lot of big things happen in the international financial markets yesterday? Our overseas assets have all surged."

"When we checked our accounts this morning, we were all shocked. At this rate of wealth growth, it won't be long before we're all in the top 20 of the Forbes rich list!"

"I love you so much, darling. Before I met you, I never even dared to dream that I would one day become so rich."

As she spoke, Alyssa Chia tiptoed and gave him a sweet kiss.

Da Meiyuan followed suit, kissing Ling Yun on the other cheek and pressing her whole body against his arm.

Leilei and Yanzi exchanged a glance and simultaneously muttered a sarcastic remark.

"Two vixens, how shameless!"

"Hahaha"

Ling Yun smiled and put his arms around Da Meiyuan and Jia Jingwen's slender waists, briefly explaining the situation.

"From yesterday to this morning, many major events have occurred in the international financial markets. Some people have become rich overnight, while many others have lost everything overnight."

"You guys are the lucky ones who became rich overnight. As for the major events that happened in the international financial markets yesterday, I won't go into detail. We can talk about them another time."

"Given your already impressive wealth, from the perspective of asset security, I will readjust my investment and asset allocation strategies and repatriate a large portion of investment profits to the mainland..."

Next, he briefly explained the adjustment of the investment strategy.

As he said this, he walked into the living room with several beautiful women, sat down on the sofa, and continued their discussion.

The women had no objection to his decision and nodded in agreement.

After finishing their conversation, Lingyun prepared to go upstairs to wash up and change clothes, then come down for breakfast and rest.

Just as he stood up, Yanzi suddenly remembered something and said excitedly:

"I also have some good news to share, I'm sure you'll be very happy to hear it."

Hearing this, Lingyun smiled and turned to look at Yanzi.

"Tell me, what's the good news?"
