The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Having determined the conditions for Volkswagen to accept CIC, and preparing to secretly sign a concerted action agreement with CIC to thwart Porsche's ambition to acquire a large corporation at a crucial moment, Lingyun immediately gave the next countermeasures.

He told Lou Dong to give the Volkswagen board some advice after CIC signed the relevant cooperation agreement with Volkswagen, before the German government intervened.

The first move was to have the Volkswagen board of directors publicly address the market.

We urge all investors to remain calm and proactively request regulatory intervention to investigate short selling, options trading, and insider trading.

The second strategy is to uphold the Volkswagen Act and openly unite with the Lower Saxony government to counter Porsche's hostile takeover. China Investment Corporation (CIC) can be used as a hidden card.

In this way, Porsche's hostile takeover might be thwarted without CIC being exposed, and CIC could avoid offending Porsche. This outcome would undoubtedly be the best!

The third move was to immediately freeze technical and procurement cooperation with Porsche, cut off resource support, and report to regulatory authorities, revealing Porsche's debt crisis.

Porsche borrowed tens of billions of euros at high interest rates from major financial institutions to secretly acquire Volkswagen shares, resulting in high debt risk, which is Porsche's fatal flaw.

In addition to these, there are fourth and fifth moves, etc.

This combination of moves will definitely give Porsche a run for its money, and their plan to swallow the elephant is likely to fail before it even begins!

Since it was the Volkswagen board of directors that publicly used these tactics, CIC remained behind the scenes and never took direct action!

In this way, CIC obtained the voting rights on the Volkswagen board of directors as it wished, but without being exposed to the public eye. There could be no more perfect result!

Next, it was the German government's turn to perform, but it was just a formality!

After listening to Ling Yunzhi's methods, Lou Dong remained silent for about ten seconds before sincerely expressing his feelings!

"Xiao Ling, you're terrifying! I don't know how your brain works, to come up with such a perfect and ruthless move!"

"Volkswagen is now the world's most valuable listed company, and Porsche is also a household name, yet you've managed to manipulate them all. It's simply unbelievable..."

In response to Lou Dong's praise, Ling Yun, as usual, exchanged a few polite words.

They discussed for a while before ending the call.

Afterwards, Ling Yun typed out the tricks he had just mentioned on the computer and sent an email to Chairman Lou!

After doing all that, he checked Volkswagen's stock price again.

At this point, Volkswagen's stock price had soared to 1120 euros per share, a full 110 euros higher than the highest price in the previous life.

Volkswagen's total market value has soared, leaving second-place Mobil Oil further and further behind!

Financial institutions and investors large and small that shorted public stocks are going bankrupt in droves, and countless short sellers are losing everything in an instant!

Without a doubt, this is another butterfly effect brought about by Ling Yun, and the damage it has caused is far greater than in the previous life!

But in Lingyun's view, as long as CIC and Volkswagen's board of directors successfully sign the cooperation agreement, these matters will be none of his concern!

He glanced at Volkswagen's stock price and trading activity, then exited the Volkswagen stock page and began checking the international financial markets.

At this time, stock markets across Europe were experiencing a surge in trading volume and price increases, with most rising by more than 4%, creating a jubilant atmosphere in the market!

Unlike the situation in international financial markets, international crude oil futures are consolidating at the bottom and showing a downward trend!

All of this was within Lingyun's expectations.

Once he was sure there were no unexpected events, he got up and left the study, went downstairs to the living room to chat with Da Meiyuan and the others, and prepared for dinner.

Seeing him come down, Da Meiyuan's eyes immediately lit up as she asked:

"Honey, has something big happened in the international financial markets? We just checked our overseas investment account online and found that the assets in the account have increased significantly again."

Following closely behind, Alyssa Chia nodded in agreement.

"Absolutely! My personal overseas assets have increased by over 400 million, and Yuanyuan's have increased by over 500 million. This speed of making money is simply outrageous!"

Ling Yun sat down next to Da Meiyuan and nodded with a smile.

"Indeed, international financial markets are surging across the board today, with European stock markets currently in trading hours showing gains of over 4%!"

"The same applies to the Asia-Pacific financial markets after the afternoon close, but the real drama won't begin until after 9:30 PM tonight and tomorrow!"

Upon hearing this, Da Meiyuan and Jia Jingwen's eyes immediately lit up even more.

"Are you saying that US stocks will surge tonight, and the entire international financial market will rally tomorrow?!"

"If that's the case, doesn't it mean we can earn even more tonight and tomorrow!"

"Haha, it seems you've made quite a bit of progress lately."

Ling Yun smiled and pulled the two beauties into his arms, then nodded.

"That's right. After this super bull market ends, you'll all become even richer."

As he gave an affirmative answer, Da Meiyuan and the others smiled even more brightly.

After chatting for a while, Yanzi and Leilei returned home one after another, making the villa even more lively!

Tonight it's Yanzi's turn to keep Lingyun company. After dinner, Da Meiyuan will leave this mansion and go back to the villa Lingyun just bought to live with her parents!

These rules were agreed upon and formulated by the two mothers together, with the aim of preventing Lingyun and Dameiyuan from losing their temper and impulsively engaging in sexual activity.

At this stage, such things are strictly prohibited!

Da Meiyuan went back to live with her parents, firstly to avoid this risk, and secondly because her mother could take better care of her!

Jia Jingwen will also be leaving tonight to go back to her villa to be with her mother and daughter, so as not to arouse their suspicion!

In fact, she received several phone calls from her mother and daughter last night while she was staying here.

She could only say that she was participating in a promotional event in another city and couldn't go home to be with them, so she didn't reveal any flaws!

Looking at Yanzi and Leilei, who had just returned home, they were naturally very happy to learn that their wealth had increased dramatically again!

But what they were more concerned about was Da Meiyuan's pregnancy.

After washing up and changing into their loungewear, they immediately surrounded Da Meiyuan, curiously asking about her various experiences during pregnancy, almost as if they were seeking her advice in advance!

As they were talking, the dinner that Lingyun had ordered was delivered.

Everyone then got up and went into the restaurant, chatting and laughing while enjoying a sumptuous dinner!

After dinner, it was already around 7:30 pm.

After chatting for a while, just after eight o'clock, Da Meiyuan and Jia Jingwen left the mansion together and went home in their respective nanny cars.

Yanzi and Leilei stayed behind, but tonight, only Yanzi could spend the night with Lingyun!

As for Leilei, she'll be spending the night alone in her room!

In the blink of an eye, it was already around 9:10 pm.

Ling Yun went back into the study, ready to keep an eye on the stock market performance in various European countries, as well as the US stock market which was about to open!

Before he could even sit down, he received two pieces of good news in quick succession.

The first piece of good news came from Mr. Lou, in the form of a short message.

"At 9:00 PM sharp, CIC officially signed a cooperation agreement with the Volkswagen board of directors, including an agreement on acting in concert. The objective was successfully achieved!"

The second piece of good news came from Deputy Director Zhang, and it was a phone call.

After the call connected and both parties confirmed their identities, Deputy Director Zhang immediately got to the point with great enthusiasm.

"Good news, Lingyun. Things are developing as you predicted. The news that the Federal Reserve is preparing an emergency rate cut has indeed leaked, and a surge in US stocks tonight is a foregone conclusion!"
