The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Chapter 357 Mediocrity is the Only Kind of Person Who Isn't Envied

Upon learning that CIC had successfully reached a strategic cooperation agreement with Volkswagen Group and quickly facilitated the transfer of some key technologies, Ling Yun was so excited that his eyebrows practically flew up.

He did not gain any direct benefit from this matter.

To avoid suspicion, he didn't even participate in the massive short squeeze on Volkswagen stock, missing out on this golden opportunity to make a fortune.

But he knew very well in his heart how much of a role he played and how much he contributed in this matter, and he knew everything he needed to know!

As for those who shouldn't know, or those who aren't qualified to know the inside story, they should just stay in the dark!

Based on the enormous contributions they have made, they will surely receive benefits many times over in the future, whether implicit or explicit.

After reading Lou Dong's message, Ling Yun replied with a long message with a smile.

"Congratulations to CIC on successfully achieving its goals. My mission is complete, and I believe CIC will make good use of this opportunity and the relevant cooperation agreements."

"There's something I must point out: with the global financial crisis continuing to spread, Porsche's failure to seize the opportunity to acquire the Volkswagen Group is tantamount to putting itself in a desperate situation!"

"The reason is simple: Porsche borrowed too much money to acquire the Volkswagen Group, and now that luxury sports cars aren't selling well, the high interest rates are enough to crush Porsche."

"What's worse is that the global credit market is basically frozen right now, and given Porsche's high debt levels, no financial institution dares to lend them any more money."

"This means Porsche will soon fall into a debt crisis. Once the Volkswagen Group recovers, it will definitely take over Porsche. We should take advantage of this opportunity."

"Regarding the takeover and anti-takeover battle between Porsche and the Volkswagen Group, this is all I can participate in at the moment. From an external perspective, this matter has absolutely nothing to do with me."

After sending the text message, Lingyun turned around and kissed Da Meiyuan's pretty face before continuing to watch the movie with her.

Knowing that he was shouldering a heavy responsibility and that many things needed to be kept strictly confidential, Da Meiyuan just smiled softly and didn't ask any more questions!

After spending some time together, she and Leilei had all developed this habit.

Seeing how sensible they were, Lingyun was naturally very pleased.

Five or six minutes passed before Lou Dong finally replied with a message.

"Haha, you're right, kid. This has nothing to do with you. That's the answer no matter who asks!"

"I heard you went home. Have a good rest then, we'll chat again when you have time!"

Ling Yun opened the message, glanced at it, and then smiled as he put his phone away.

at the same time.

Stock markets across Europe, including the German stock market, have opened for business.

Following the news that Porsche was releasing liquidity from its options trading, Volkswagen's stock, which had been subject to a massive short squeeze a couple of days prior, experienced a dramatic plunge at the opening bell!

At yesterday's closing, Volkswagen's share price was €1260 per share.

Today, the market opened sharply lower, with an opening price of only 600 euros, a drop of more than 50%!

And this was just the beginning. In just over an hour, Volkswagen's stock price plummeted to around 400 euros!

Volkswagen's stock price only stopped falling when it hit 400 euros, and then began to fluctuate between 400 and 600 euros.

This crazy crash has once again wiped out many people, kicking them straight into hell!

But unlike the previous two days, this time it was countless bullish investors who were wiped out!

To be more precise, those bulls who took advantage of high leverage, hoarded goods, and tried to get rich overnight have now lost everything and are on their way to the rooftop!

As Volkswagen's stock price plummeted, Lou Dong, sitting in his office at the China Investment Corporation headquarters, kept gasping for breath!

If Ling Yun were here right now, he would give him a thumbs up immediately!

It took about ten minutes for Mr. Lou to calm himself down.

Then I found Director Li's phone number on the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and dialed it casually.

After a few pleasantries, he got straight to the point.

"Director Li, I just received some very valuable information. Someone told me..."

"With Porsche's acquisition of the Volkswagen Group halted, Porsche is bound to face a debt crisis and may even be acquired by the Volkswagen Group!"

"This is a very good opportunity for us; we should be able to make something of it."

Director Li on the other end of the phone paused for a moment, then responded with a smile:

"Now that you've reminded me, I realize this is indeed an opportunity we can't miss; we must make the most of it!"

"You should know that Volkswagen and Porsche's businesses go far beyond just manufacturing and selling cars; the two companies have a very strong technological foundation in engines!"

"We'll talk about that later. Right now, I just want to know if the person you mentioned is the same kid I'm thinking of?..."

Before he could finish speaking, Chairman Lou burst into laughter.

"Haha, you guessed right, anonymous!"

"This kid just told me that he has nothing to do with this, and he won't admit it no matter who asks him."

Hearing this, Director Li smiled.

"Hahaha, what a slippery fellow! He's hiding his true strength!"

"In that case, let's grant his wish. Of course, no one can deny the enormous contributions he has made!"

the other side.

Lingyun, who was watching a movie with Da Meiyuan, suddenly reached out and touched her ear.

"Hey, why are my ears getting a little hot? I wonder who's talking about me behind my back, saying something good or bad?"

"Pfft!"

Da Meiyuan chuckled and then made a few teasing remarks.

"Isn't it normal for people to talk about you? You've made so much money from the international financial markets; you've emptied the pockets of countless competitors!"

"Whether those guys know you or not, whether they even know you exist, just mentioning you is the least of their worries; they probably wish they could eat you alive!"

"Haha, only mediocre people aren't envied!"

Ling Yun laughed loudly, then nodded slightly.

"Leaving aside the past, just today, the international financial markets are experiencing a comprehensive surge. I've already completed my strategic positioning and am poised to make a fortune!"

"Those who misjudged and shorted the international financial markets are probably going to lose everything. They deserve to be cursed at."

Da Meiyuan giggled and snuggled into his arms, her eyes filled with infatuation and happiness!

The international financial market at this time was just as Lingyun had described.

The Asia-Pacific financial markets, which closed successively, all ended with sharp rises, with gains generally exceeding 4%.

European stock markets opened sharply higher and continued to rise throughout the day, showing tremendous momentum!

As for the US stock market opening tonight, a sharp rise is a certainty!

Moreover, Lingyun was very clear that there would be a super market rally next week after the US election results were released.

Then, a complete reversal from bullish to bearish could allow one to capitalize on another sharp drop in prices.

With this frantic harvesting, Ling Yun's personal wealth soared like a rocket into the sky!

Before we knew it, it was already 9:30 p.m.

The US stock market opened on time, and as expected, it gapped up significantly and then surged all the way up!

Seeing this, Ling Yun was completely relieved.

He then shifted his focus to the potential situations he might encounter when he flew to Washington in mid-November for the financial summit, and the various coping strategies.

This evening, he received meeting-related materials, a list of delegation members, and various other information sent by Deputy Director Zhang.

As a senior financial advisor and professional translator, he needed to know the identities of all members of the delegation and be intimately familiar with everyone's information before flying to Washington!

More importantly, he needs to conduct in-depth research on all the proposed topics of this financial summit to ensure that his work is targeted and effective!

These tasks all fell on Ling Yun's shoulders alone, which was no small feat!

He felt no pressure at all; on the contrary, he enjoyed it immensely!
