The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

While Ling Yun was enjoying his romantic bliss, several old friends on the other side of the ocean were thinking of him.

Because he was to meet with the visiting French president, Paulson came to the Treasury building to work, even though it was Sunday.

He planned to handle some business in his office before heading to the White House to accompany the cowboy president to meet with the French president and begin talks.

As a result, shortly after he arrived at his office, Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke and New York Fed President Geithner came to visit him to discuss some matters.

With the addition of Goldman Sachs CEO Lloyd and SEC Chairman Cox, who had previously made appointments, Paulson's office was suddenly filled with some of the most powerful figures in the American financial world, making it a very significant gathering.

There's another reason why these financial tycoons flocked to Paulson's office.

The US presidential election is about to enter its final battle, and from the perspective of alternating power, the Democratic Party's victory is almost a foregone conclusion!

In this situation, financial giants like Cox need to communicate with Paulson to ensure a smooth transition of the financial markets during the power transition.

Since it was a discussion in the fields of economics and finance, the cowboy president in the White House did not participate.

In fact, the president, who had already served two terms, knew he was bound to step down.

Now, aside from seeking various benefits and advantages for himself and his family, he basically doesn't care about anything else, and often just exists like a mascot.

In the economic and financial spheres, Paulson gained unprecedented power, enabling him to make sweeping changes.

Unfortunately, it was just a flash in the pan.

Next January, he too will be packing his bags and leaving the position of finance minister.

Considering his return to Wall Street, he must find a way to maintain the stability of the financial markets and ensure a smooth transition to the next administration.

If he can do this, the next administration will definitely reward him, and he will be able to thrive on Wall Street.

That is why Geithner, widely regarded as the next finance minister, came to visit at this time.

After exchanging greetings upon entering, everyone sat down on the sofa in the reception area, drinking coffee and discussing the current situation of the US financial market, as well as the international financial market.

One of the key topics of discussion was the recent Black Friday and the likely impending Black Monday.

They also don't have a good solution for the likely continued sharp decline tomorrow.

Several people sat together and discussed for a long time, but they couldn't come to a conclusion.

About half an hour had passed as they were talking.

Bernanke suddenly put down his coffee cup and changed the subject.

"Did everyone pay attention to the National Financial Work Conference held this weekend? At this conference, the Chinese government released a series of signals regarding fiscal and financial policy reforms."

"After I woke up this morning, I received a call from the head of the Federal Reserve's global financial policy analysis department. They immediately analyzed and studied the relevant outcomes of the National Financial Work Conference in China."

"Based on preliminary analysis, they highly praised some of the financial policy reforms, even saying that those policy adjustments were ingenious ideas that would play a positive role in resolving the current financial crisis..."

Next, he briefly introduced the relevant situation.

As he explained, the others in the room nodded in agreement.

When they heard about the global financial crisis, their eyes lit up, and some even applauded enthusiastically.

After Bernanke finished explaining the situation and they had a detailed discussion, Paulson chimed in with a few words of reflection.

"Although I am very reluctant to admit it, I have to say that if we want to resolve this global financial crisis, we must rely on the help and cooperation of the Chinese government and financial markets."

"Although China's financial market is not very open, you can tell from the adjustments they make to their economic and financial policies that they are not actually closed off, and that there are experts behind the scenes advising them."

"When the global financial summit is held in the middle of the month, we must have a good talk with them and listen to their ideas on how to solve this global financial crisis. If we can take this opportunity to get them to expand the openness of their financial markets, that would be even better..."

Just as he finished speaking, Lourdes suddenly interrupted.

"Do you think it's possible, Henry, that the brilliant person who proposed these economic and financial policy reforms is that little rascal named Ling Yun?"

"Based on our understanding of that little rascal, his abilities are unfathomable. He is fully capable of standing at the height of the global financial market and proposing these ingenious reform ideas."

"When we dealt with Yuanda Investment before, we discovered that this company has very close ties with the Chinese government, and it's highly likely that it provides financial advice to the Chinese government."

Paulson was taken aback when he heard these words.

The rest of the people present were hearing the name Ling Yun for the first time, and they were all full of curiosity.

Before they could ask, Paulson nodded slightly.

"That's certainly possible. This kid is a rare investment genius. He has a deep understanding and research into economics and financial markets, and is definitely a top expert."

"But we don't have concrete evidence, so we can't confirm whether this conjecture is correct for the time being. But it's okay, I've received word that this kid will be coming to Washington to attend a financial summit."

"Because we need to apply for US visas, the Chinese Embassy in China has received the list of the Chinese delegation, which includes this guy's name. The Ambassador to China called me immediately to inform me."

"Once he comes to Washington, we can try to get in touch with him, sound him out, and more importantly, find out his views on the financial crisis. If we can establish a cooperative relationship, that would be even better."

Upon learning that Ling Yun was coming to Washington, Lloyd clapped his hands excitedly.

"Great! As long as this little bastard comes to Washington, we'll definitely find a chance to get in touch with him and have a face-to-face talk with him."

"He has caused Goldman Sachs a lot of trouble and huge losses. He deserves an explanation, or don't blame us for not following the rules."

Only after hearing this did Cox interject.

"Henry, Lloyd, is this kid you're talking about, Ling Yun, the Chinese investment genius that Goldman Sachs has been secretly investigating?"

"Were Goldman Sachs' huge losses in crude oil futures and its subsequent massive losses in betting on stock index options with Yuanda Investment closely related to this 'miracle boy'?"

"I know that Goldman Sachs is secretly investigating a certain brilliant investment genius and closely monitoring the every move of China Grand Group in the international financial market."

"But I don't know who this suddenly emerging investment genius is. What I didn't expect is that the Ministry of Finance is also paying close attention to this matter. It seems that we have to take this kid very seriously."

"brush!"

Paulson and Lauder both looked over, hesitated for a moment, and then nodded in unison.

"That's right, Cox, this suddenly emerging investment genius, is indeed a force to be reckoned with. Goldman Sachs has gained almost nothing under his guidance!"

"Not only that, according to our current information, this kid likely made billions of dollars by taking advantage of the subprime mortgage crisis and the financial crisis."

"And this is just the investment dividend that can be statistically recorded. His hidden investment profits may be even more astonishing. Calling this kid a stock market genius is absolutely right."

"hiss!"

Bernanke and Cox both gasped in astonishment, completely taken aback by the enormous profit from this investment!
