The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

It was early morning, around 7:30.

After completing the review and summary, Ling Yun led Zhong Tao and the others away from the CIC headquarters and got into a car to go home and rest.

Just as the convoy left the CIC headquarters, Deputy Director Zhang suddenly called.

After the call connected and they exchanged greetings, he quickly got down to business.

"Let me tell you something, Lingyun. Shortly after the US stock market closed, at SZ's instruction, Minister Xie spoke separately with Paulson and several other finance ministers from the G7 countries."

"During the call, Minister Xie explained your proposed bailout plan to them, which included direct fiscal injection and nationalization. It was quite enlightening."

"Hahaha"

Ling Yun chuckled and chimed in with a few words of agreement.

"That's a brilliant analogy. Paulson and his ilk are currently blinded by their own limited perspective, trapped in the confines of liberal economic policies!"

"Once they are forced into a desperate situation where they have no choice but to break through, they will eventually think of the New Deal and state capitalism."

"Unfortunately, we beat them to it this time, so they have to accept the result. Paulson and his team must be feeling really frustrated right now!"

"Hahaha, you're really wicked, no wonder Paulson and the others are so annoyed!"

Deputy Director Zhang burst into laughter, thoroughly enjoying himself.

After the laughter subsided, he resumed the previous topic and continued to explain the situation.

"During his calls with Paulson and the UK Chancellor of the Exchequer, Minister She specifically mentioned that the UK and the US must put pressure on Goldman Sachs and Barclays to honor their bets with Grand Investment."

"After careful consideration, Paulson and his team indicated they would consider the issue, but the specifics of how to proceed would require further discussion and communication with Goldman Sachs and Barclays."

"In a phone call with the president of the European Central Bank, Minister Xie suggested that Europe would need at least two to three trillion dollars to bail out the market if it wanted to resolve the impending banking crisis..."

Upon hearing this, Ling Yun's eyes lit up with joy.

As soon as Deputy Director Zhang finished speaking, he thanked him profusely.

"Thank you for your concern, SZ. It's just a small matter for us, and we are deeply grateful for your attention!"

"If international financial markets surge across the board next Monday, it will be the best opportunity for Goldman Sachs and Barclays to address this issue."

"Given the insight of Goldman Sachs and Barclays executives, they should be able to see this, and Yuanda Investment should also take action..."

After chatting for a while, Deputy Director Zhang took the initiative to end the call.

After hanging up the phone, Ling Yun turned to look at the scenery outside the car window, while pondering his strategy for further negotiations with Goldman Sachs and Barclays.

Unbeknownst to them, the convoy had already returned to the villa located near Chaoyang Park.

As usual, when Ling Yun entered his luxurious villa, the several beauties were already up.

They were all dressed very sexily and had prepared breakfast, waiting for him to come back so they could have breakfast together.

They were all very excited because they had made a fortune again last night!

As soon as Ling Yun entered the door, several beautiful women rushed over and quickly surrounded him, chattering and greeting him.

"You're finally back, darling. It's Saturday, can't you relax at home for a couple of days?"

"What exactly happened to the international financial markets last night? If they continue to plummet like this for a few more days, will everything collapse?"

"We just checked online, and we've each made a fortune again! The speed at which we're making money is absolutely insane!"

As she spoke, Alyssa Chia reached out and took Ling Yun's backpack, while Da Mei Yuan took the coat.

Yanzi and Leilei had nothing to say, so they each grabbed one of his arms, hugged him affectionately, and walked together towards the living room.

Ling Yun glanced at them, then smiled and began to explain the situation.

"From the day before yesterday to early this morning, the international financial markets experienced their darkest two days since the outbreak of the financial crisis, suffering two consecutive days of bloodshed!"

"The specific reasons are a long story, but I'll explain them in detail and analyze them for you after you shower and have breakfast, so you can learn something new!"

"All you need to know now is that for others, these were the darkest two days. Countless investors lost everything, and some even committed suicide during these two days!"

"But for us, these past two days have been incredibly wonderful, a golden opportunity to make a killing, so everyone has made a fortune."

"Unfortunately, such opportunities are rare and hard to come by. Starting next week, the international financial markets will enter a period of sustained decline and will no longer be so volatile."

"Before we enter a downward trend, we have one more chance to reap huge profits. After we've done that, I'll help you adjust your investment strategy..."

As they spoke, everyone entered the living room.

They then sat down on the sofa and started chatting and laughing.

After a tender moment of cuddling, Lingyun got up from the sofa, picked up her backpack, and went upstairs to wash up.

Across the ocean, in New York.

After listening to the reports from his senior executives, Lloyd quickly packed his things and prepared to go home to rest.

Just then, Paulson suddenly called.

After the call connected and they exchanged greetings, Paulson got straight to the point without beating around the bush.

"Laurde, a couple of hours ago, I spoke with the Chinese Finance Minister and we had an in-depth discussion about the current state of the international financial markets."

"Surprisingly, the other party provided a set of effective bailout plans, even specifying details such as the proportion of funding from different countries."

"The other six finance ministers also received this call and learned about some of the details of this bailout plan. We then held a video conference."

"After discussion and evaluation by the expert panel, everyone agreed that this market rescue plan is the best option at present, and it is very likely our only option."

Upon hearing this, Lloyd nodded slightly.

"I have received the information and understand the general content of this bailout plan. I agree with your statement that this bailout plan is the best option at present!"

"Direct government investment and nationalization is a tactic of state capitalism, somewhat reminiscent of Roosevelt's New Deal. I agree with doing this!"

"I guess that's it. We're in agreement, and this is the only way we can proceed now."

Paulson continued, then changed the subject.

"But there's a problem here. The Chinese government came up with this bailout plan on conditions. We accepted their conditions before they released the details of the plan."

"One of the conditions put forward by the Chinese side is closely related to Goldman Sachs. They demanded that the government and the Federal Reserve put pressure on Goldman Sachs to honor the debt obligations made with Yuanda Investment."

Upon hearing this, Lauder's expression changed drastically.

He was about to say something in his defense, but the words stuck in his throat and he swallowed them back.

On the phone, Paulson continued to explain the situation.

"As for the method of fulfillment, the two companies can sit down and discuss it. At the time, I specifically asked why the Chinese side was particularly concerned about this matter and why it would strongly support Yuanda Investment."

The Chinese explanation is that Yuanda Investment is controlled by the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission of Shanghai, and whether Goldman Sachs and Barclays fulfill their obligations under the performance-based agreement is a matter of China's national interests!

"Besides, the prodigy that Goldman Sachs is investigating likely played a significant role in this matter. I even suspect that this bailout plan originated from him..."

Upon hearing this, Lloyd was stunned.

Does that little bastard really have that much power? He actually managed to intervene at the national level, using the US Treasury and the Federal Reserve to put pressure on Goldman Sachs!

He even stood higher and saw further.

To the point that he single-handedly proposed a bailout plan to save the international financial market, isn't that a bit of an overstatement?
