The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

In the early hours of the morning, the master bedroom finally became quiet.

After a passionate and unrestrained lovemaking session, Lingyun embraced Leilei and drifted off to sleep.

As he predicted, the international financial market experienced a nearly day-long surge before finally beginning to fluctuate.

According to his investment strategy, the joint securities investment team, Yuanda Investment Company, and other state-owned financial institutions and investment teams have all completed their harvest and secured their profits.

Faced with such a result, Mr. Chen and the others were full of praise.

From Tuesday to Thursday, the international financial market continued to fluctuate and consolidate, with stock markets in various countries experiencing both rises and falls, and the battle between bulls and bears intensifying.

During this period, various countries introduced a number of market rescue measures, but they did not make much of a splash and were unable to change the market trend.

For example, France launched a €220 billion financing plan for small and medium-sized enterprises, the Brazilian central bank invested another $500 billion in an attempt to stabilize its currency, and the Bank of Japan injected ¥6000 billion.

Unfortunately, these seemingly substantial market rescue measures were completely swallowed up by the fierce battle between bulls and bears.

Moreover, as time went on, the bears gradually suppressed the bulls.

The international financial markets are once again shrouded in gloom, with a storm brewing.

Another global stock market crash seems imminent!

During these three days, Ling Yun did not go to the CIC headquarters. He either stayed in his luxurious villa or remotely directed the various investment teams from his courtyard house in Houhai.

They naturally partied every night, enjoying themselves so much they forgot all about home.

It's Friday morning.

Just after 7 a.m., Ling Yun rushed to the CIC headquarters to direct the various investment teams in preparation for what might be a global Black Friday.

He had just entered the office area when he ran into Mr. Lou and his group.

Upon seeing Chairman Lou and his group, Ling Yun prepared to raise his hand in greeting.

But Chairman Lou reacted even faster, saying enthusiastically:

"Xiao Ling, you're amazing! The Australian stock market, which opened first, has already crashed, and the current drop is over 6%!"

"The situation in the Japanese and South Korean stock markets, which opened at 8 a.m., is also not optimistic. Based on the current situation, a sharp drop at the opening is practically a certainty!"

"Yesterday we completed a full reversal from long to short positions. If today really is Black Friday, we're sure to make a fortune."

As he spoke, Chairman Lou excitedly patted Ling Yun's arm.

Standing next to and behind him, Mr. Chen and the others were also extremely excited.

The way everyone looked at Ling Yun was somewhat like looking at a monster.

His eyes held a mixture of shock, admiration, curiosity, and disbelief!

Ling Yun smiled and greeted everyone, then asked a question he already knew the answer to:

"I didn't expect the international financial markets to be so lively; it's a bit beyond my expectations. However, this kind of activity can only benefit us, not harm us!"

"Based on the trends in the international financial markets over the past few days, I predicted that the international financial markets would fall today, but I didn't expect them to fall this sharply!"

"Last night I went home to have dinner with my parents and grandparents, and I didn't have time to keep up with international financial news. What major events happened internationally? Can anyone tell me?"

"Hahaha"

Everyone laughed in unison, all looking as if they knew exactly what was going on.

You have no idea what major events happened in the international financial markets last night? Don't be ridiculous!

If you really didn't know, why would you have come to the CIC headquarters so early to personally oversee operations? That's a full three hours earlier than usual!

Is it that you're not sleeping well in your mansion anymore? Or has your stunning girlfriend suddenly become less beautiful?

While secretly complaining, everyone felt much better!

Otherwise, how could this young master have achieved such great success and risen to prominence? How many people can compare to him in terms of his conduct and interpersonal skills?

The next moment, Mr. Chen smiled and took over the conversation, explaining the situation.

"Here's the thing: after the US stock market closed early this morning, a series of major shocks suddenly erupted in the international financial markets!"

"American banks, General Electric, DuPont, and other giants spanning multiple industries have successively released their third-quarter reports, announcing huge losses."

"Following closely behind, news came from the UK that the UK's GDP fell by 0.5% quarter-on-quarter in the third quarter, marking the first quarter-on-quarter decline in UK GDP in 17 years."

"Although this decline is small, it is enough to prove that the British economy has officially entered a recession. What's more worrying is that the recession in the United States is said to be even more severe!"

"This news instantly ignited the international financial markets. Crude oil futures fell first, followed by the Australian stock market, making a global crash almost inevitable..."

He then went on to describe some other details.

Ling Yun was fully aware of what President Chen was saying, and in fact, he understood it even more thoroughly and deeply!

He listened very attentively, nodding frequently.

After Mr. Chen finished explaining the relevant situation, he quickly and decisively gave his conclusion.

"There is no doubt that a global economic recession has been confirmed, which will inevitably trigger panic throughout the international financial markets!"

"Today's plunge will sweep across the entire international financial market; this will truly be a global Black Friday..."

Although everyone had anticipated this conclusion, they were still incredibly excited to hear Ling Yun say it so confidently!

After chatting for a few more minutes, Ling Yun called Lou Dong and the others, asking them to wait in the conference room.

Then someone notified the airline executives and investment directors upstairs to come downstairs for a small meeting.

After arranging these matters, he greeted Chairman Lou and the others, and then went to his office.

A dozen minutes later, in the small conference room.

Seeing that everyone had arrived, Lingyun smiled and got straight to the point.

"The reason I've gathered everyone here is to tell you one thing: this global Black Friday is inevitable!"

"Stock markets and all commodities worldwide will crash and plummet today. Everyone should sharpen their sickles and seize the opportunity to reap a hefty harvest..."

Before he finished speaking, a burst of laughter immediately erupted from the audience.

After the laughter subsided, Mr. Kong from AVIC said with a smile:

"From the current perspective, that is indeed the case. I don't know about the situation in stock markets around the world, but I do know about the situation in the international crude oil futures market."

"Since the market opened at 6:00 AM, international oil prices have plummeted by 5%, falling to around $64. It's quite alarming!"

"What I don't understand is why gold prices plummeted today. Has gold lost its safe-haven appeal?"

Ling Yun looked at President Kong and nodded with a smile.

"The current international financial market is in turmoil; in such a severe liquidity crisis, cash is king, and even gold is ineffective!"

Then, he changed the subject.

"Let me explain the current state of the international financial market to prevent misjudgments, wrong decisions, and unnecessary losses."

"From a policy perspective, the global rescue effort has now shifted from maintaining financial stability to stimulating the economy, but the stimulus力度 is lagging behind recession expectations."

"Looking at the economic front, the global recession has gone from expectation to reality. The UK's first negative growth in 17 years in the third quarter is a landmark event!"

"Thirdly, there's the funding situation. Global liquidity is tightening again, making the US dollar the ultimate safe-haven asset, as evidenced by the decline in gold and the dollar's 4% surge in a single week!"

"Finally, from the perspective of commodity markets, the collapse in global demand outweighed the contraction in supply, and the sharp drop in crude oil and all commodities is sufficient to illustrate this situation..."

Listening to his insightful analysis, everyone present was excited and their eyes lit up, while at the same time feeling a dazzling sensation!

In everyone's eyes, the word "monster" is firmly attached to Ling Yun!
