The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Although the sky had already brightened, countless investors had fallen into endless darkness.

That night, countless people were instantly bankrupted and, in despair, went to the rooftop!

Ling Yun had just returned to the joint investment team's office area on the top floor when he saw it on a live international financial news broadcast.

Several Wall Street investment elites, and even hedge fund tycoons, jumped off rooftops one after another, falling to their deaths on the cold streets.

Ling Yun was already used to such tragic outcomes where the winner takes all and the loser is nothing, so he had no time to care.

Upon entering the office area, he immediately summoned General Manager Xie and the others to the conference room to begin outlining today's investment strategy.

At this moment, President Xie and Secretary Zhou were all excited, their eyes shining, showing no signs of fatigue.

As soon as he entered, Secretary Zhou asked impatiently:

"Lingyun, the US stock market crash tonight also dragged down international oil prices. Does this mean that international oil prices will continue to plummet today?"

Like him, President Xie and the others all thought the same way.

As soon as the question was posed, everyone looked over with anticipation, their eyes burning with excitement.

Ling Yun glanced around the scene, a smile on his face, but nodded decisively.

"That's right, international oil prices will definitely plummet today, with intraday drops exceeding -10%, and it's even possible that they will fall below $70."

"Given the large size of their holdings and the shift to medium- to long-term investments, the joint investment team should refrain from making significant moves during this super market rally, and at most only adjust one-third of their positions."

"The investment departments of various airlines can take advantage of this super market trend. Once international oil prices fall by more than -11%, they can consider quickly closing out their positions and locking in profits."

"Then wait for international oil prices to drop to around -12%, then go long to catch a strong rebound. Wait for international oil prices to rebound by more than 10% next Monday, then liquidate all your positions at once."

"After clearing out my positions and lying low for a few hours, international oil prices are likely to open high and then fall next Tuesday. I will give instructions at that time on when to short international oil prices again..."

Everyone was stunned by his operational strategy.

After Ling Yun finished speaking, there was a two or three-second silence before President Xie and Secretary Zhou reacted.

The small conference room erupted in chaos the next instant.

"My goodness, this crazy back-and-forth profit-taking, with just two or three days of super market activity, has allowed the investment departments of various airlines to earn at least 30 points in profit. It's outrageous!"

"Wow! Will international oil prices really fall below $70 today? The put option strike price agreed upon by various airlines with Goldman Sachs was around $69."

"In other words, if we hadn't deviated from the hedging strategy set by Goldman Sachs, starting today, airlines would be facing continuous losses. It's too risky!"

"Isn't this market situation a bit too outrageous? Lingyun, if you don't have a strong heart, this kind of rollercoaster-like market fluctuation could easily wipe out several people!"

Ling Yun glanced at Zhou Mi and the others, and confidently teased:

"This super market trend is indeed exaggerated. It's no exaggeration to call it a roller coaster ride. Everyone should be mentally prepared, lest they really get wiped out."

"First, everyone will experience an epic two-day crash, followed by an epic strong rebound, and then another drop..."

Half an hour later, the conference room door opened.

Ling Yun and Secretary Zhou emerged from the conference room chatting and laughing, each of them radiating energy.

Afterwards, Ling Yun went to his office, and Secretary Zhou and General Manager Xie also went back to their offices to make phone calls, conveying Ling Yun's investment strategy to the investment departments of various airlines.

After entering the office, Ling Yun turned on his computer to check the international financial market and crude oil futures market.

During this time, he called Chairman Zhao and talked about the investment strategy for the past two days.

This includes both crude oil futures investment strategies and operational strategies in international securities markets.

Just like President Xie and Secretary Zhou, Chairman Zhao was also stunned by this super rollercoaster market, and even more dumbfounded by Ling Yun's crazy operation.

But he was mostly excited, to the point that he stammered a little.

After discussing investment strategies, Chairman Zhao brought up another matter.

"Around 6 p.m. yesterday, the general manager of Barclays' Hong Kong Island branch called Wang Mian to protest Yuanda Investment's aggressive short-selling of Barclays Bank stock and hoped that we would stop short-selling."

"Wang Mian deflected all blame, saying that this was a normal investment activity of the company and had nothing to do with the previous stock index option betting results. On this occasion, Wang Mian formally notified Barclays."

"We will summon representatives from Goldman Sachs and Barclays to the company again on Saturday afternoon to discuss issues related to debts incurred in stock index options betting. We hope that Goldman Sachs and Barclays will not shirk their responsibilities."

"The general manager of Barclays Port Island branch did not give a direct answer, but instead deflected the question by saying that the matter required headquarters approval before a decision could be made on whether to attend Saturday's meeting..."

After listening to Chairman Zhao's introduction, Ling Yun gave a disdainful sneer.

"These bastards are determined to renege on their debt. Grandma, keep dreaming! No way!"

"Something big is definitely going to happen this weekend; Goldman Sachs and Barclays might even change their stance."

"We can wait and see. If they still have this attitude when the market opens next Monday, then we'll increase our short-selling efforts and force them to their knees, singing 'Conquer!'"

"Haha, since you're so sure, I'm now brimming with confidence."

Chairman Zhao burst into laughter, laughing heartily.

The international crude oil market closed at 5:00 AM.

Ling Yun left the office and went downstairs to the United Securities investment team's office area.

When he entered the conference room downstairs, Mr. Chen and his team of investment directors and senior investment managers were already gathered there, waiting for him.

Even Chairman Lou and General Manager Wang, who had only gone back to rest late last night, had returned here, waiting to hear Lingyun's investment analysis.

After greeting everyone upon entering and exchanging a few polite words, Ling Yun went straight to his seat and stood there.

Then, after scanning the crowd, he immediately got to the point.

"Next, I'll talk about today's investment strategy. Apart from the joint securities investment team, all other state-owned financial institutions, including CIC and CICC, can follow suit."

"It's okay if other state-owned financial institutions have doubts or are hesitant to follow suit due to investment security concerns, but they absolutely cannot operate in the opposite direction, or they will definitely suffer significant losses."

Wow! Quite the boast!

But I have to say, this kid definitely has the confidence to be so arrogant!

The miraculous operations and astonishing investment performance of the past are the best proof!

Lou Dong and the others muttered a few complaints to themselves, becoming even more curious.

Then look at Ling Yun, pause for a moment, and then continue to speak eloquently.

"Affected by the continuous plunge in European and American stock markets from yesterday afternoon to early this morning, the Asia-Pacific stock markets, which are about to open, will definitely start with a sharp drop."

"European stock markets, which open this afternoon, and US stock markets, which open tonight, will also continue to plummet, and the declines are likely to be even more dramatic than yesterday."

"Our strategy today remains firmly to short the entire international financial market and capitalize on this market crash to make a fortune!"

"However, regardless of whether it's the Asia-Pacific stock market or the stock markets of Europe and the United States, all positions must be liquidated before the market closes, and then a complete reversal from short to long positions must be initiated to go long on international financial markets."

"The reason for this 180-degree turn is that I predicted an epic rebound would occur next Monday, sweeping across the entire international financial market. This is an opportunity that cannot be missed."

"hiss!"

Everyone gasped in surprise, their eyes shining with excitement.

The next moment, Chairman Lou asked in surprise:

"Why do you make this judgment? Lingyun, can you explain your reasoning?"

Ling Yun looked at this big shot and gave his answer with a smile.

"The reason is simple: governments in Europe and the United States, as well as Wall Street, must come up with truly effective measures to rescue the market this weekend, otherwise the international financial market will completely collapse!"
