The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

The third good thing was the suggestion Lingyun made to Zhongtou Lou Dong.

The idea was to let China Investment Corporation (CIC) take the opportunity to acquire Volkswagen's shares and secretly intervene in Porsche's acquisition of Volkswagen, hoping to seize the opportunity to acquire equity in either Porsche or Volkswagen.

After a swift investigation and assessment, Vice President Wang approved the proposal and instructed CIC to take immediate action.

Vice President Wang naturally praised the person who made the suggestion.

On the phone, Ling Yun was very polite.

Next, Deputy Director Zhang talked to him about some other things.

This includes the covert acquisition of partial stakes in Rio Tinto and BHP Billiton, in order to gain some leverage in future iron ore negotiations.

This matter was secretly initiated last month, and a month later, the operation has yielded remarkable results.

The call lasted for more than ten minutes before Deputy Director Zhang ended it.

After hanging up the phone, Lingyun turned her attention back to the international financial market and continued to read the latest international financial news.

During this time, he first made a phone call to the general manager of Starlight Culture.

He asked the company to prepare some theater tickets, and he planned to distribute them to several investment teams under his command, so that everyone could go to the Poly Theatre to show their support.

Then I called Attorney Zhang again to inquire about the progress of the acquisition.

Today, the acquisition of those two financial companies in Beijing has entered a substantive phase.

Zhang Lu's acquisition team split into two groups and officially entered the two financial companies to conduct a more in-depth and detailed investigation.

If the investigation goes smoothly, you can basically sign the contract.

At the same time, the internal restructuring and reform of the fashion magazine has also begun, and Yanzi will follow up on the whole process.

During the call, Attorney Zhang briefed the caller on the situation at Hearst Corporation.

Two key members of the Hearst family will fly to Beijing this afternoon to discuss investment matters with Siyuan Investment!

Although the liquidity crunch in international capital markets has eased somewhat, Hearst Group still faces significant challenges in raising substantial funds from the capital markets!

More importantly, Siyuan Investment deliberately creates the impression that it has plenty of money and can provide as much investment as you need.

Hearst Group is blinded by its own interests and is currently only focused on financing Siyuan Investment, leaving it with no time to attend to other financial investment institutions.

What they didn't know was that the media resources they had their eyes on, including Universal Television Network and eleven local television stations in North America, were about to become Ling Yun's possession!

Once Lingyun successfully acquires these media resources, Hearst Group will be completely on the defensive.

If Hearst Group wants to complete its digital transformation by then, it will only have one option left: to partner with Lingyun's Siyuan Investment!

After finishing his call with Attorney Zhang, Ling Yun specifically checked Hearst Corporation's stock performance and financial results.

Only after confirming that everything was under control did he feel comfortable shifting his focus to checking the Hong Kong stock market.

Today's Hong Kong stock market also suffered a sharp decline, with the drop now exceeding -4%, showing only slight signs of stabilizing.

Meanwhile, in a villa in Haidian District.

Because they were worried about their daughter, Da Meiyuan's parents took the day off and stayed home, waiting for her call.

Just now, Da Meiyuan called to tell me about Lingyun's decision.

After hanging up the phone, Da Meiyuan's mother complained a few times indignantly.

"That little rascal said he'd meet us this weekend to talk about his relationship with Yuanyuan and Leilei. He's smart enough not to make excuses to back out."

"Otherwise, I'll storm his house and demand justice for Yuanyuan! That brat is such a womanizer!"

Upon hearing the result, Da Meiyuan's father immediately breathed a sigh of relief.

Then, he nodded helplessly and said:

"Since Yuanyuan has made up her mind about this little rascal, it's probably going to be difficult for us to change the outcome. For now, we can only meet with him and have a good talk with him."

"On Sunday night at the Poly Theatre, I even tried to persuade Leilei's parents to accept that Leilei and this little rascal would only date and not get married, and I even gave them a very reasonable explanation!"

"Who would have thought karma would come so quickly? This happened to our Yuanyuan right away, and the target was this little rascal. I grit my teeth just thinking about it..."

As he spoke, he clenched his fists angrily, his teeth grinding together.

Seeing his strong reaction, Da Meiyuan's mother quickly advised him:

"You're right, it's probably hard for us to change this. We might just have to accept it. Luckily, this little rascal is still pretty good to Yuanyuan!"

"Yuanyuan works in the entertainment industry, and none of her previous boyfriends were reliable. Compared to them, this little rascal is actually the most reliable one."

"He helped Yuanyuan earn more money than she could spend in ten lifetimes, and he was also able to protect her very well in the complex environment of the entertainment industry."

"From this perspective, this little rascal is actually the best and most suitable one. Most importantly, Yuanyuan likes him, so our objections won't make much difference."

"When you meet that little rascal this weekend, you must control your temper and not act impulsively. Yuanyuan just said that the special agents around this kid are all armed..."

Upon hearing this, Da Meiyuan's father felt his eyelids twitch violently.

Then, he stiffened his neck and said indignantly:

"So what if those special agents are armed? Does this little bastard dare to let them shoot me? I'm his father-in-law, after all."

Seeing his expression, Da Meiyuan's mother immediately burst into laughter.

"Haha, he probably wouldn't do that. What if those special agents are carrying out SZ's orders?"

"Given how highly regarded this kid is, it's entirely possible that the higher-ups would issue such an order simply to protect his safety."

As soon as he finished speaking, Da Meiyuan's father fell silent and stopped being stubborn.

He worked at the Ministry of Aerospace and had met several top experts who enjoyed the highest level of protection; each of them was a national treasure!

Therefore, he understood that if Ling Yun also enjoyed this kind of treatment, he would better behave himself!

If anyone threatens Ling Yun's personal safety, the special agents accompanying him may simply draw their guns and open fire without needing Ling Yun's permission!

Seeing his embarrassed expression, Da Meiyuan's mother smiled and changed the subject.

"Should we talk to Leilei's parents beforehand, or invite them to meet with that little rascal Lingyun this weekend?"

"Meeting with both sets of parents puts more pressure on him, and he might feel guilty and treat Yuanyuan and Leilei better in the future."

Da Meiyuan's father quickly shook his head, rejecting the suggestion.

"No, let's not. It's not something to be proud of for two sisters to be with the same man; it's shameful!"

"Let's meet with this little rascal first and see his attitude. We can discuss this with Leilei's parents later when the time is right."

On the other side, at the headquarters of China Investment Corporation (CIC).

Sitting in his office chair, Lingyun kept a close eye on the international financial market. Every now and then, he would touch his burning ears and mutter a few words to himself.

"Who's been talking about me behind my back? This is endless! That's going too far!"

Before he could finish speaking, the phone next to him suddenly rang.

He reached for his phone, glanced at the caller ID, and then answered the call.

"Hello, Mr. Zhao, has the negotiation in Hong Kong concluded?"

The next moment, Chairman Zhao's excited voice rang out.

"You guessed right, Lingyun, there's good news. Those damn foreign devils at Goldman Sachs have made huge concessions."

"Our series of actions have clearly been effective..."

Upon hearing this good news, Ling Yun's lips immediately curled into a smile.
