The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

"Mr. Lewis, if you need it, we can help you change your appearance and appear in Europe or somewhere else with a completely new identity and guise."

"If you are experiencing financial difficulties, we can help resolve some of them, and even give you a golden opportunity to turn your life around and recover all your lost wealth."

One of the middle-aged men patiently explained.

Every word he uttered was powerful and persuasive.

As he listened to his introduction, Lewis's eyes grew brighter and brighter.

Whether it's a fresh start or a golden opportunity to turn his life around, both hold an irresistible allure for him!

At this moment, he was like a trapped beast facing a desperate situation, never letting go of any possible chance to survive!

This lifeline right in front of us is naturally included.

Even so, he remained somewhat vigilant, which was a habit he developed as a lawyer.

After a moment of silence, he said in a somber voice with a grim expression:

"What do I need to do to get these benefits? As for who you are, I won't ask, and you won't tell me anyway!"

"Over forty years of life experience has taught me that there is no love without a reason, nor is there hatred without a reason!"

The two middle-aged men quickly exchanged a glance and simultaneously revealed a smile.

This stray dog ​​is quite shrewd; with that in mind, things will be much easier!

The next moment, the middle-aged man who asked the question nodded slightly.

"Very good, Mr. Lewis. You are a very intelligent man, and it's always a pleasure to deal with intelligent people!"

"In that case, let's get straight to the point. We want to know some secrets about Goldman Sachs and Lloyd, preferably the kind that are kept secret!"

Great, these guys really are after Goldman Sachs and that heartless bastard Lloyd!

Die, Lourdes!

Since you're so heartless, don't blame me for being unjust!

Lewis muttered a few complaints to himself, while simultaneously gritting his teeth in hatred.

Then, he nodded slightly.

"I can give you what you want, but it must be an equal exchange. I want security, a new identity, and something else!"

"No problem, as long as the information you provide is valuable, we will gradually fulfill our promises."

The middle-aged man opposite him smiled and nodded.

With both sides reaching an agreement, the negotiations quickly entered a substantive phase.

Meanwhile, the plunge sweeping across the entire international financial market is intensifying.

At 9:30 p.m., the US stock market opened on time.

As soon as the US stock market opened, everyone was stunned.

The office area of ​​the United Securities investment team located at the headquarters of China Investment Corporation was quickly filled with exclamations of surprise.

"My goodness, the Dow Jones opened 3% lower, which is a bit beyond expectations. It seems the situation in the US stock market is far worse than we knew!"

"Everyone, look at the market! The US stock market plummeted immediately after opening, without the slightest resistance. What happened?"

"Morgan Stanley has fallen by more than 15%, Citigroup by 11%, and AIG Group is even more dramatic, with a drop of over 20%. Could it be that a magnitude 10 earthquake has struck Wall Street?"

Amidst gasps of disbelief, the US stock market is putting on a breathtaking, extreme plunge at an astonishing speed!

In just twenty minutes, the US stock market, which had already opened 3% lower, plunged another 500 points, and was on the verge of breaking through the 8000-point mark!

Even with mental preparation, everyone was still stunned when they actually saw what happened.

Chairman Lou and General Manager Chen seemed a little incredulous, rubbing their eyes repeatedly to make sure they weren't seeing things!

Just then, Ling Yun suddenly grabbed the microphone from his workstation and shouted at lightning speed:

"Listen up, all investment teams! The situation has changed, and we must adapt and adjust our previously established investment strategies!"

"Once the Dow Jones Industrial Average falls below the 8000-point mark, immediately liquidate all short positions, switch to long positions, and start going long on the US stock market."

"The leverage for this short-selling rally should not exceed four times. Given the current situation, the US stock market will experience significant volatility today, allowing us to profit from the fluctuations several times."

"After 3 a.m. tomorrow, we'll do a full-scale short squeeze, then increase the leverage to about six times, and harvest another crop next Monday."

"European stock markets are currently relatively stable, so there's no need to change our investment strategy. We will continue with our established plan, switching from short to long positions in the last hour before the market closes..."

"Whoosh!"

As if they had just heard the starting gun, everyone turned their heads to look at the same time.

Without exception, everyone was taken aback by Ling Yun's action.

Ling Yun, however, kept his eyes glued to the US stock market index, and his voice became even more resolute.

"Everyone, don't look at me, and don't raise any questions. Be ready to execute trading orders at any time!"

"If you all want to see me, wait until the US stock market closes tomorrow morning, and I'll stand on my desk at my workstation so you can see me to your heart's content!"

After hearing his words, everyone finally came to their senses.

The next second, many traders were the first to respond.

"Got it, watch us!"

With a resounding response, they quickly turned back to keep a close eye on the US stock market trend, ready to close their positions at any time!

The others were a beat slower to react, but they quickly caught on.

Many analysts immediately turned to look at their computer screens, but Chairman Lou and General Manager Chen walked towards Ling Yun.

Just as they were about to ask, Ling Yun smiled and shook his head.

"It's not time to ask questions yet. What everyone needs to do now is to react quickly."

"You must immediately notify all companies and investment teams to avoid missing this golden opportunity!"

"I also have an investment team to notify. I'll explain the reasons to everyone after this transaction is completed."

"what!"

Lou Dong and the others were stunned for a moment, but quickly came to their senses.

"That's absolutely true. Now is not the time to dig deeper; seizing the golden opportunity before us is the most important thing!"

"Everyone, make calls to your respective companies and teams to let them know. Don't miss this golden opportunity!"

As they spoke, Chairman Lou and General Manager Wang quickly pulled out their phones.

Then he turned around and quickly returned to the conference room to make calls to his respective company and his team.

Ling Yun chuckled softly, then took out his phone.

He quickly typed a short message with his fingers flying and sent it to Chairman Zhao, who was far away in Shanghai.

Less than five minutes after the text message was sent, a burst of excited cheers suddenly erupted in the trading area.

"Holy crap! The Dow Jones Industrial Average has indeed fallen below 8000 points. In less than half an hour, the drop has exceeded -7%. This is going to be a complete disaster!"

"The S&P 500 has fallen below 900 points, a drop of over 5%, with the financial sector experiencing an even steeper decline of 13%. This is quite alarming!"

The moment the cheers erupted, Ling Yun quickly looked up at the electronic screen.

as predicted!

The Dow Jones Industrial Average has just fallen below the 8000-point mark, hitting its lowest level since 2003.

This is not the lowest point. The three major US stock indexes are still falling rapidly, to a point where they are unrecognizable!

Ling Yun chuckled softly, then casually picked up the microphone and issued a trading instruction.

"You can speed up the closing process, but you can't clear all positions with a single click. That would create too much noise and might attract unnecessary attention."

"Given the current trend in the US stock market, the Dow Jones Industrial Average will inevitably fall below 7900 points based solely on its downward momentum. We have ample time and room to maneuver."

"clear!"

Numerous traders responded with a thunderous roar, their voices so loud they nearly lifted the ceiling off the building.

Immediately afterwards, everyone sprang into action.

Chairman Lou and President Wang exchanged a glance, quickly took out their phones, and sent out several text messages to each other.

Within moments, the state-owned financial institutions and investment teams that received the text message also took action, starting to close their positions and then switching from short to long!
