The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Inside the meeting room.

The air conditioner was blasting, but it couldn't quell the sweltering heat.

The international oil price chart on the computer screen was soaring upwards like it had taken an aphrodisiac.

With each upward jump, the scorching heat in the air seemed to rise a little more, becoming even hotter and more exhilarating.

"Lingyun, London Brent crude oil has broken through $140 per barrel."

"New York WTI crude oil futures have exceeded $139.8, and are just one step away from breaking through $140."

Zhou Hua and his companions stared intently at the international oil price chart, their gazes burning as if they were staring at their first love's naked body.

Ling Yun's pupils contracted slightly, his gaze fixed intently on the price chart of New York WTI crude oil futures.

Just as WTI crude oil futures prices touched the $140 mark, he quickly issued a trading order.

"Guys, start closing out your positions. Try to sell all your long positions as quickly as possible."

"With the current massive trading volume, we don't need to be so cautious anymore; we can sell off in large quantities!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Zhou Hua and the others responded in unison.

"Received, mission accomplished."

They started closing out their positions like they were on steroids.

Just then, General Manager Wang excitedly pushed open the conference room door and strode in.

"Xiao Ling, you guys really hit the jackpot this time..."

But no one paid him any attention; Ling Yun and the others were busy with their transactions and didn't even lift their eyelids.

Mr. Wang's smile froze on his face, and he could only stand aside and watch helplessly.

At this moment, he was also very excited, his eyes filled with envy, wishing he could be a member of this investment team.

In just two or three weeks, Zhou Hua and his team earned a huge amount of bonuses that most of the group's senior executives and employees would earn in a lifetime!

Needless to say, Ling Yun's share of the profits is enough to shock everyone.

That's an enormous fortune, measured in hundreds of millions, and it's still growing rapidly. Everyone is envious, including President Wang.

"Done! We really hit the jackpot this time!"

Zhou Hua suddenly slammed his hand on the table, making the mouse jump.

Immediately following was Zhang Yuntian's excited cheers.

"Awesome! The feeling of clearing out inventory with one click is amazing! I'm only just realizing how addictive making money can be!"

In the blink of an eye, everyone had finished clearing out their inventory.

Ling Yun's tense face finally broke into a smile, his eyes and brows blossoming.

He then stretched out his arms and yawned, his joints making a series of cracking sounds.

Just as he was about to say something, he suddenly caught sight of President Wang standing to the side and quickly greeted him with a smile.

"Excuse me, Mr. Wang, everyone was busy closing out their positions and didn't notice you come in."

"If I'm not mistaken, you've come because of the soaring international oil prices?"

Mr. Wang glanced at everyone, smiled, and nodded.

"Congratulations! You've made another fortune. I'm so envious! You seized this opportunity brilliantly!"

Hearing his compliments, everyone couldn't stop smiling.

Just from this wave of buying WTI crude oil futures, Zhou Hua and his team can each earn around 5 million yuan, and Ling Yun's dividend is as high as 70 million yuan. How could they not be happy!

Compared to Zhou Hua and the others, Ling Yun was not as excited.

He picked up the chilled mineral water on the table, took two sips, and quickly calmed himself down.

Then he instructed Zhou Hua and the others to keep a close eye on international oil price trends and be ready to switch from long to short positions at any time!

Seeing Ling Yun instantly switch states and quickly issue new trading instructions, President Wang felt his eyelids twitch violently.

This kid is a money-making machine; he's incredibly shrewd and ruthless when he strikes!

Mr. Wang silently murmured a sigh before speaking aloud.

"Lingyun, your team's current investment profits have steadily exceeded 20 billion, far surpassing the target!"

"Have you considered ending this operation here and locking in the profits?"

"If you intend to do this, the group has no problem with it. As for Chairman Jin and the others, I can communicate with them."

Zhou Hua and the others immediately stopped what they were doing and turned to look at Ling Yun.

After these two dreamlike weeks, they all trusted Lingyun completely and followed his lead without question!

If Ling Yun makes the decision to end the operation, they will not utter a single word of objection, but will happily accept the outcome!

By this point, each of them had received more than 2500 million in dividends. What more could they ask for?

The money seemed to be made too easily, which made them a little uneasy.

Ling Yun looked at President Wang, then at the international oil price trend, and confidently shook his head.

"Is the group afraid of having too much money to handle? If not, why the rush to end this operation?"

"There are still two weeks left. I'm confident I can make even more money in the remaining time!"

"Therefore, I've decided that the tripartite cooperation plan will continue. Faced with such a golden opportunity, I don't want to back out too soon!"

"But……"

Just as President Wang was about to say something, Ling Yun interrupted him directly.

"Of course, it's only natural for the group to be worried about losses. I can consider allocating one billion in profits first and using the remaining billion or so to continue investing."

"As agreed, I helped the group and investors recover all their losses within a month, and I did that. What else does the group have to worry about..."

"Well said, Xiao Ling. You have that kind of courage, and the company isn't that petty."

Chairman Zhao's loud voice suddenly came from the doorway.

When they saw him come in, everyone stood up to greet him.

The chairman walked straight to Ling Yun's side and patted him on the shoulder approvingly.

"Since the market is so good, you can continue to reap the benefits from the international crude oil futures market. The cooperation plan is not over yet!"

"We should press our advantage and pursue the enemy relentlessly. As long as we manage the risks well, I believe you can create even greater miracles..."

From his perspective, he naturally hoped that Ling Yun and the others could help the group make more money, the more the better!

Ultimately, it all comes down to his brilliant decisions and outstanding leadership.

"Thank you for your support, Chairman. We will definitely do our best."

Ling Yun smiled and exchanged a few polite words.

As they were talking, Zhang Yuntian suddenly exclaimed:

"Look! The price of WTI crude oil futures in New York has surpassed $140.2, and the rate of increase is starting to slow down; it seems like it can't rise any further!"

"brush!"

Everyone's eyes quickly focused on the computer screen.

as predicted!

The soaring international crude oil futures price seemed to be paused at around $140, and began to consolidate sideways.

Ling Yun's eyes sharpened, and he immediately issued the command.

"This is the opportunity I've been looking for. Start shorting, spread out small orders to buy WTI crude oil futures short positions, leverage 150 times!"

"Pay attention to your buying speed. There's no rush. Our large-scale liquidation just now may have already attracted the attention of some major international capital."

"clear!"

Zhou Hua and his team quickly got into battle mode, their fingers flying across the keyboard once again.

Watching this scene, the chairman murmured with emotion:

"The current international oil prices are truly alarming; the rise is terrifying!"

"But with so many bullish voices online, isn't it a bit premature to launch a large-scale short-selling attack at this point?"

Ling Yun looked up at Chairman Zhao and gave a confident response.

"International oil prices have soared to this level, and there's not much room for further increases; the highest it will reach won't exceed $150!"

"Today, a confluence of positive factors propelled oil prices above $140 per barrel. However, judging from the price trend, there are already signs of weakening upward momentum!"

"I believe international oil prices will trade sideways at high levels today, neither surging nor falling rapidly. Now is the best time to short them..."

Things unfolded exactly as he had predicted.

Then, until 5 a.m. on the 27th, international oil prices remained high and traded sideways, eventually closing at a high of $139.64 per barrel.

Based on this closing price, Lingyun and his team made over 30 million by shorting the stock.

Faced with this result, Chairman Zhao, General Manager Wang, and Zhou Hua were all amazed!

Meanwhile, in New York.

Goldman Sachs headquarters, international crude oil futures trading division.

After the market closed, a senior futures trading executive rushed to the investment director's office to report on the situation.

"Tommy, we found out. The company that suddenly dumped more than 8000 long positions in WTI crude oil futures this morning is a futures company located in Shanghai, China."

"Huaxia's futures companies are interesting. How are their trading performances?"

Tommy was somewhat surprised, but more so curious.

"The opponent is a master."

The senior manager nodded and placed the documents in his hand on the desk.

"Over the past two weeks, they have been very active in the international crude oil futures market; to be more precise, several of the company's trading accounts have been very active."

"They constantly switch between bullish and bearish positions, sometimes going long and sometimes short, achieving amazing investment results while operating very discreetly!"

"My analysts spent most of the day analyzing massive amounts of trading data from the past two weeks to finally uncover these guys!"

"Should we set a trap for these guys? They've made a fortune on WTI crude oil futures; it's about time they gave back their profits!"

Tommy reached for the documents on the table and quickly flipped through them.

After a moment's hesitation, he smiled and shook his head.

"The trading record is perfect; this is definitely the work of a master trader!"

"But I've seen plenty of top traders. Every trader in the outer office area is a one-in-a-million expert!"

"We have to take down these arrogant bastards and teach them a lesson, but not now. We'll wait until oil prices peak!"

Shanghai, Yuanda Group.

After washing up, Ling Yun was about to go to bed when he suddenly reached out and touched his burning ears, muttering a few complaints under his breath.

"Who's been gossiping about me this time, buddy? Probably up to no good!"

As he spoke, he turned over and lay down on the bed, quickly falling asleep.
