The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

After finishing his call with Chairman Zhao, Ling Yun immediately began to devise this trap specifically for Goldman Sachs.

Considering that Lewis's stay on Hong Kong Island might be short, he dared not delay at all in order to drag this scumbag into the situation and make use of him.

In about two hours, Ling Yun quickly formulated the entire plan and drafted a US stock index options betting agreement.

After checking it repeatedly to ensure that the action plan and the betting agreement had no major legal loopholes, he sent the plan to Deputy Director Zhang.

I also called Deputy Director Zhang to briefly explain the situation.

Listening to his introduction, Deputy Director Zhang on the other end of the phone was secretly amazed.

After he finished explaining the situation, Deputy Director Zhang pondered for a moment before giving his response.

"I must say, Xiao Ling, you always have wildly imaginative ideas, and you're incredibly daring. Your methods of fighting are also incredibly diverse and dazzling!"

"I will immediately report your action plan to SZ. As long as SZ approves, the operation can begin, but this process must be kept strictly confidential."

"Next, I will contact several experts who are well-versed in the laws and regulations of the financial markets of Hong Kong and the United States to review this plan in order to avoid any legal loopholes."

"Since you say time is of the essence, I'll get started right away, and I should be able to give you an answer by this evening at the latest."

As soon as he finished speaking, Ling Yun quickly exchanged a few polite words.

"I'm sorry to trouble you. I'll wait for your call. I hope the operation can proceed smoothly tomorrow, otherwise we might miss the best opportunity!"

"Understood, I'll go to the SZ office to report right away."

Deputy Director Zhang responded with a smile, and then prepared to end the call.

Just then, Ling Yun suddenly remembered something else and quickly spoke up:

"There's one more thing. Once this operation is approved and the betting results are in, I believe we can wipe out all those commercial spies bribed by Goldman Sachs!"

"Anthony has already been dealt with internally at Goldman Sachs. Most of these corporate spies were recruited by Anthony and his cronies, and they no longer have much value!"

"Why not stage a show of making an example of them, so that those damned foreigners, including Lewis, will understand that China is not a place where they can act recklessly?"

Deputy Director Zhang listened in a daze, and after Ling Yun finished speaking, he couldn't help but express a few words of emotion.

"Hahaha, what a brilliant example of making an example of someone! Your moves, one after another, are all deadly!"

"One can imagine the expressions on the faces of those Goldman Sachs guys after suffering huge losses in the bet, coupled with this spectacular 'killing the chicken to scare the monkey' show!"

After exchanging a few jokes, he hung up the phone.

After ending the call, Ling Yun thought for a moment, then sent a copy of the action plan and the betting agreement to Chairman Zhao and Lawyer Zhang.

The reason for sending it to Chairman Zhao was to let him and General Manager Wang familiarize themselves with the contents of the plan in advance and be mentally prepared.

Only after Deputy Director Zhang gave a positive answer could they send the action plan and performance-based agreement, which had been refined by the expert team, to the Hong Kong Island branch and quickly deploy and carry out the operation.

Sending this action plan and performance-based agreement to Attorney Zhang was to have him conduct a compliance check on the legal and regulatory aspects!

After sending out the action plan and the performance-based agreement, Ling Yun made a phone call to Chairman Zhao and Attorney Zhang respectively, briefly explaining the situation.

After finishing these tasks, Ling Yun packed his things and left the luxurious villa, preparing to visit the headquarters of China Investment Corporation.

In fact, he didn't need to go to the CIC headquarters these past two days; going there would have just been a formality.

The international financial market and crude oil futures market have moved in much the same direction as he predicted in the past two days; the word "fall" is enough to describe it!

He had already formulated investment strategies and contingency plans, and each investment team could simply execute them according to the established strategies without encountering any major problems.

Even so, Ling Yun still had to make a trip to the CIC headquarters to go through the motions!

He would leave the CIC headquarters and go home to rest after the US stock market opened in the evening.

Just as he drove out of the villa area, Attorney Zhang and Chairman Zhao began to review his action plan and the stock index option betting agreement!

Shanghai, the headquarters of Yuanda Group.

CEO's Office.

Chairman Zhao sat in his office chair, smiling as he looked at General Manager Wang across from him.

At this moment, Mr. Wang was reviewing on his laptop the stock index option betting scheme that Lingyun had prepared specifically for Goldman Sachs, as well as the betting agreement he had drafted.

After reading less than a third of it, Mr. Wang could no longer hide his shock, but at the same time, his eyes shone with excitement.

His performance was entirely within Chairman Zhao's expectations.

Chairman Zhao chuckled softly and jokingly teased:

"Looking at this stock index options betting scheme, doesn't it feel like they're giving you a taste of their own medicine? Ling Yun really is vengeful!"

Mr. Wang was taken aback for a moment, then looked up at Chairman Zhao, smiled and nodded in agreement.

"Indeed, Ling Yun's counterattack does have a bit of the feel of using the enemy's own methods against them, as seen in martial arts novels."

"Goldman Sachs previously plotted against various airlines by specifically crafting that insidious fuel hedging strategy, which, in a sense, was a fuel betting agreement."

"Now Lingyun has turned the tables, specifically crafting this US stock index options betting scheme for Goldman Sachs, clearly intending to use this betting agreement to deliver a heavy blow to Goldman Sachs!"

"But this is an extremely risky stock index options bet. According to the terms of this betting agreement, if we win this bet, we can make tens or even hundreds of times the profit in one go."

"What if we lose? The losses could be tens or even hundreds of times the initial investment. If we choose the wrong betting method and direction, and then encounter extreme market conditions, the losses could even be magnified indefinitely."

Chairman Zhao fell silent and remained silent for a long time.

He pondered for a full five minutes before nodding solemnly.

"You're right. Lingyun's US stock index options betting agreement is extremely risky, and the fact that the counterparty is Goldman Sachs, a behemoth in the international financial market, makes the risk even higher!"

"But I have faith in Ling Yun. I have enough confidence in his vision and ability. The miracles he has created are the best proof. I think he will definitely win this time."

"More importantly, Lingyun understands the risks of this US stock index options bet better than we do. Look at the last page of the document; Lingyun has developed a corresponding risk isolation plan..."

Before he could finish speaking, Mr. Wang quickly flipped to the last page of the document.

Just as Chairman Zhao said, on the last page of the document, Lingyun indeed provided a comprehensive risk isolation plan.

Seeing this risk isolation plan, Mr. Wang's heart, which had been in his throat, eased a little.

Beijing, CIC headquarters.

Around 3:30, Ling Yun led Zhong Tao and the others into the office area of ​​the United Securities investment team.

As soon as they saw him, several guys near the office entrance immediately stood up and greeted him warmly, followed closely by the others.

Ling Yun, with a smile on her face, greeted everyone warmly as she walked towards the office.

We hadn't walked more than a few steps when a man in his thirties suddenly asked expectantly:

"Excuse me, Ling Yun, could you tell everyone when the generous rewards you promised will arrive?"

"This morning, we handed over the bank account number to your legal team and completed all the information registration."

Ling Yun turned to look at the guy and made a few jokes.

"So eager? Are you in a rush to buy a house, or a rush to get married? Or are you just eager to enjoy life?"

"Don't worry, the reward I promised will arrive in your account by October 5th at the latest, not a penny less!"

The man blushed and then frankly explained his situation.

"You're absolutely right! I'm both anxious to buy a house and anxious to get married, and it's urgent!"

"It's almost National Day, and my parents and my girlfriend's parents are planning to come to Beijing for a trip. More importantly, they'll meet to discuss our wedding."

"As of now, I still live in my company apartment. Although I have a Beijing hukou (household registration), I don't own a house. I'm just a Beijing drifter!"

"If I own a house in Beijing, or have enough savings to buy a house, I will feel much more confident when discussing marriage with my girlfriend's parents, and my parents will be proud of me."

"Haha, I see."

Ling Yun burst into laughter, then nodded with a smile.

"It's a good thing to start a family and build a career. To make you feel confident when you meet your father-in-law and mother-in-law, I'll try my best to deliver the reward before the National Day holiday."

"I can reimburse most of your parents' and father-in-law's expenses for their trip to Beijing during the National Day holiday, excluding shopping costs. It's just a small token of my appreciation!"

Faced with such a good thing, that guy was naturally overjoyed.

"That's great, thank you for your generosity. If you ever need anything, just let me know, I'll go through fire and water for you!"

His words were met with another burst of laughter from the audience.

"I never knew you were such a henpecked husband, Brother Dong!"

"Xiao Dong, you absolutely must let everyone know when you get married! We'll all come and be your best man!"

Everyone chattered and joked, filling the room with laughter.

Just then, Mr. Chen from CIC approached and whispered:

"Lingyun, let's go to the conference room. Chairman Lou and General Manager Kong are waiting for you there; they have something very important to discuss with you!"
