The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

After the celebration, the chairman smiled and offered a reminder.

"It's time to call Chairman Jin and the others, inform them that the operation is over, and invite them to the company tomorrow."

"Okay, it's time to share the good news with Chairman Jin and the others."

Ling Yun nodded in agreement.

The next moment, General Manager Wang walked to Ling Yun's workstation, picked up the landline on the workstation, pressed the speakerphone button, and dialed Chairman Jin's number.

After the call connected and they exchanged greetings, Mr. Wang began to explain the situation.

They informed Director Jin that their operation had ended and mentioned the total profit figures for the Lingyun Group.

Upon learning that Lingyun and his team had made a profit of over 53 billion, Chairman Jin and General Manager Zhu were extremely excited.

Only Boss Liu's tone revealed an indescribable reluctance.

"Congratulations, Xiao Ling! You're truly amazing; the younger generation surpasses the older. You're incredible..."

"You flatter me, Boss Liu. I'm the one who should be thanking you. Thank you all for your trust..."

As he spoke, Ling Yun quickly gave President Wang a look.

They knew perfectly well why Boss Liu reacted this way.

In the past few days, Chairman Zhao and General Manager Wang have received word that Boss Liu's company has encountered serious trouble due to the impact of the subprime mortgage crisis and may very well go bankrupt.

In desperation, Mr. Liu resorted to any remedy he could find.

He engaged in reckless speculation in the international crude oil futures market and ended up losing almost everything.

After this week began, I heard that Boss Liu has started borrowing money from all over the place, robbing Peter to pay Paul.

Whether the large investment profits that Lingyun Group helped him earn are enough to fill the huge hole he created himself is another matter.

After learning about this, President Wang told Ling Yun to be careful.

Little did he know, Ling Yun had already made up his mind.

Once this operation is over and he receives his due dividends, he will completely sever ties with these private capital entities in Jiangsu, Zhejiang, and Shanghai.

Both Boss Liu and Chairman Jin are the same; these private capital entities all have some original sins to varying degrees.

Now that Lingyun has rapidly accumulated its initial capital, it has no desire to have any further dealings with these private capital entities.

Even if we cooperate with others in the future, it must be with investment institutions like Yuanda Group or other state-owned enterprises.

The premise of cooperation is that money must be clean and accounts must be transparent, so that we can sleep soundly.

After making the call to Boss Liu, General Manager Wang muttered a couple of words to himself.

"I wonder if the money your team earned for him this time will be enough to cover his losses?"

"It's hard to say, but this has nothing to do with me anymore."

Ling Yun smiled and shrugged, then changed the subject.

"It's time to notify Attorney Zhang."

As he spoke, he picked up the landline on the table and began making a call.

The call connected quickly, and after exchanging greetings, Lingyun got straight to the point.

"Attorney Zhang, could you please come to the Yuanda Group headquarters tomorrow to assist me with some matters?"

"Our team's tripartite cooperation plan with the group and Chairman Jin will officially conclude tomorrow morning."

"The next step is the settlement and allocation process, and we need your help to oversee it."

Zhang Lu readily agreed to this request.

"Congratulations, Lingyun. I'll head to Yuanda Group tomorrow to assist you with related matters..."

Next, Lingyun mentioned the time and place for the meeting.

Chairman Zhao and General Manager Wang exchanged a glance, their eyes full of admiration.

This guy is incredibly meticulous; he got his lawyer involved as soon as the operation was over.

In this way, no one can scheme against this kid.

Because of the involvement of Attorney Zhang, a lawyer from a top-tier law firm, Yuanda Group and Chairman Jin will inevitably have to be more cautious when dealing with Ling Yun.

After Ling Yun finished his call, Chairman Zhao patted him on the shoulder approvingly.

"Very good, I really like your way of doing things; this is how you do great things."

"The operation is over. It's dinnertime now, let's go eat."

"The company is treating tonight. You can order whatever you like; consider it a celebration dinner."

Before he finished speaking, Zhou Hua and the other two had already lit up with excitement.

For the past month, they've been stuck in this small meeting room every day, doing nothing but eating, sleeping, and watching the market. They're going crazy!

Now that the operation is finally over, they can't wait to break free of this cage and go out and have some fun.

Contrary to expectations, Ling Yun shook his head with a smile.

"Chairman, it's not time to celebrate yet; we cannot leave this conference room for the time being."

As he spoke, he pointed to the clock on the wall.

"The NYMEX hasn't settled the accounts yet. This operation won't truly be over until 6 a.m. tomorrow, when the NYMEX has completed its settlement."

"There are still eleven hours until six o'clock tomorrow morning. We need to continue monitoring the market. Although the possibility of something unexpected happening is extremely small, we can't be too afraid of the worst."

"Once the NYMEX completes the settlement and we're completely in control, it won't be too late for a celebration banquet. Everyone can revel then."

Chairman Zhao and General Manager Wang were stunned for a moment, then suddenly realized what was going on.

The next moment, Chairman Zhao nodded with a smile.

"We were so caught up in the excitement that we forgot about the New York Mercantile Exchange settlement. We definitely can't relax completely right now."

"Then we'll hold a celebration banquet for you after the settlement is complete. I'll come to the company at five o'clock tomorrow morning to witness the settlement results in person."

"That would be perfect, we can all celebrate together."

Ling Yun smiled and nodded in response.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Chairman Zhao and General Manager Wang prepared to leave.

Just then, Ling Yun suddenly remembered something and quickly called out to them.

"There's something I almost forgot to mention: the five futures trading accounts we used this time should ideally not be used again, at least not in the short term."

"Given our trading frequency and operating style, these five trading accounts are most likely being targeted by certain large international capital firms, and may even have been designated as targets for assassination."

"If the group is not vigilant enough and uses these five futures accounts to trade again, it may be targeted by certain large international capital firms, resulting in huge losses."

Upon hearing this, both Chairman Zhao and General Manager Wang's expressions turned serious.

Immediately afterwards, they all gave a thumbs up.

"The reminder was very timely, Xiaoling. It was a brilliant move! We'll keep that in mind."

"With you making over 5 billion yuan in a month, it's hard to imagine these five international crude oil futures trading accounts not attracting attention."

"As a precaution, the group will discontinue these five international crude oil futures accounts to avoid being targeted."

After finishing this matter, Chairman Zhao and his group left.

As soon as the door closed, Zhou Hua and the others began to lament.

"No way, we still have to stay up for another ten hours? I'm practically exhausted."

"If I'd known it would turn out like this, I would have traded until 5 a.m. tomorrow. Time always flies when you're making money!"

Ling Yun looked at these guys and said with a smile:

"That bitch is being dramatic. Just like before, everyone takes turns sleeping and monitoring the market to prevent the NYMEX from causing any trouble."

"Fortunately, there were no more transactions to be made, so I wasn't nervous, and the eleven hours passed quickly."

At this point, he suddenly stopped smiling and his tone became serious.

"There's something I need to emphasize: everyone must keep this a secret until the settlement is completed by 6 AM tomorrow."

"Even after the New York Mercantile Exchange completes the settlement, you still cannot tell anyone about these things before you receive your share of the more than 60 million in dividends."

He paused, his gaze sweeping over Zhou Hua and the others' faces.

"This is an unprecedentedly large dividend for the group. If the news leaks, the entire group will be in an uproar. I don't want any complications before I receive the money."

"Even if you successfully receive your share of the profits, you can't publicize it except to your closest relatives. If you want to stay in the company, don't make yourselves the target of everyone's criticism."

"I don't want others to know about this, I don't want people to know that I made a billion in one go, and I especially don't want to attract attention from people with ulterior motives..."

Zhou Hua and the others were completely dumbfounded, their mouths agape for a long time.

Once they realized what was happening, they all nodded in unison.

"Okay, I won't even tell my own mother about this for now!!"

"That's absolutely true. Getting rich overnight is the easiest way to attract all sorts of envy, jealousy, and hatred; it has to be kept strictly a secret!"

As they were talking, the conference room door suddenly opened.

Three securities investment experts walked in, chatting and laughing, to discuss investment strategies with Lingyun.

Upon seeing them, Zhou Hua and the others stopped talking at the same time.
