The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Half an hour later, Ling Yun pushed open the door and walked into the conference room on time.

Upon seeing him enter, Mr. Chen and his colleagues, who were chatting and laughing, immediately stopped talking and looked over, each with eyes full of admiration.

Previously, everyone was a little worried when they learned that Lingyun would no longer be coming to the CIC headquarters every day to oversee operations, or even working through the night with everyone, as he used to.

There are concerns that he might become complacent and neglect studying the trends in international financial markets, leading to misjudgments, the loss of his magic touch, or even huge losses.

As it turned out, everyone soon discovered that regardless of whether Ling Yun was on-site directing or not, the magic he created would continue and would not diminish in the slightest.

He stayed at home, remotely directing operations via his mobile phone, and continued to create miracles and relentlessly reap huge profits in the international financial market.

The continued surge in international financial markets from yesterday until now is the best proof of this.

With such amazing superpowers, it's hard not to be awestruck!

After greeting everyone upon entering, Ling Yun stepped forward, pulled out a chair, and sat down in his designated seat.

As soon as he sat down, he got straight to the point.

"Just like when I came here last week, I only have half a day to spend at CIC headquarters today. I have to attend a high-level meeting this afternoon."

"Time is limited, so let's get straight to the point. Who can give a brief overview of the international financial markets and the US election?"

"The second point, in particular, is a global focus today and will directly impact the trajectory of the entire international financial market; we must pay close attention to it."

"After understanding the basic situation, I will make some minor adjustments to the established investment strategy. Everyone can follow the adjusted strategy..."

Hearing his words, President Chen and the others unconsciously sat up straight, their eyes sparkling with excitement and undisguised envy!

After spending some time together, they both understood.

The young man sitting at the top, issuing orders, is far more than just a rare investment genius; his power is even more astonishing!

Tell me, has anyone ever seen such a young member of the Financial Stability and Development Committee? I've never even heard of him!

Even more astonishing is that I heard this young man has become a regular at Haizi, going there to report on his work so often that it's like coming home!

The investment directors exchanged glances and quickly reached a consensus.

"Then I'll do it..."

Just as Mr. Chen spoke, the conference room door was suddenly pushed open.

Several bigwigs, including Director Li of the State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission, Director Dong of China Investment Corporation, and General Manager Wang of CICC, arrived together and entered the conference room.

Upon seeing these bigwigs enter, Ling Yun and several investment directors immediately stood up and greeted them.

Director Li nodded with a smile and gently pressed his hand down.

"Please have a seat, everyone. Let's continue the meeting. We just had a meeting downstairs in the chairman's office to discuss matters related to the United Securities investment team."

"We heard Lingyun was here today, so we came up to take a look around and also to sit in on your investment analysis meeting..."

Following closely behind, Chairman Lou and General Manager Wang nodded in agreement.

After exchanging greetings, everyone took their seats.

As soon as he sat down, Ling Yun looked at President Chen and nodded to signal him to continue.

"cough!"

Mr. Chen cleared his throat and immediately got to the point.

"As everyone knows, today is the US election day, which is the global focus and will have a huge impact on international financial markets."

"Looking at the bigger picture, the outcome of this US election will have a far-reaching impact on the future global political and economic landscape and will change many things."

"As is customary, the US presidential election will officially begin in New Hampshire at 1 p.m. today (China time) and will continue until 1 p.m. tomorrow."

"The time span is a full day, but in the context of the Asia-Pacific financial market, as well as the commodity trading market and the foreign exchange market, it spans two trading days."

"Based on the latest polls and public opinion data, the Democratic Party's chances of winning the election are getting higher and higher, and the Republican Party may have to relinquish the presidency this time..."

Next, Mr. Chen gave a detailed introduction to the US election and the situation in the international financial markets.

While he was speaking eloquently, the investment director of CICC used a projector placed on the table to project various data and charts onto the screen.

This includes the latest polling data and election analysis for the US election, the content of Obama's new policies, and the trends of the Asia-Pacific financial markets during trading hours.

It took about fifteen minutes for General Manager Chen to finish explaining the situation.

Ling Yun thought for a moment, then smiled and nodded.

"Excellent! It seems everyone has been quite busy these past few days, demonstrating a strong understanding of the US election and the international financial markets. Very good!"

"Based on the current situation, the Democratic Party is highly likely to win this election, and Obama will become the first non-white president in American history."

"For us, it doesn't matter who's president. What we care about most right now is the reaction of the international financial markets—whether it's a surge or a crash."

"Given that this is a change of government during the peak of the financial crisis, the Democratic Party and Obama have made many weighty promises to voters in order to win this election."

"Therefore, it can be confirmed that from 1 p.m. until 1 p.m. tomorrow, coinciding with the US election voting, international financial markets will experience a comprehensive surge."

"We certainly can't miss such a great opportunity to make money, but this surge isn't sustainable, so we have to act quickly and withdraw quickly."

"The specific operation is as follows: before the close of the Asia-Pacific stock markets today, each investment team must sell all relevant stocks and completely reverse their positions in the last half hour."

"European stock markets that opened in the afternoon, and US stock markets that opened in the evening, all adopted the same strategy: clearing out positions at high levels and reversing course to short positions at the close..."

Everyone was startled by these words and looked completely taken aback!

Everyone knows very well that Lingyun will definitely instruct his teams to short again and repeatedly reap the rewards from the international financial market!

But no one expected that the order would come so quickly!

"Wow, isn't it a bit too early for a complete shift from bullish to bearish before the market closes today?"

"Based on our timeline, the US election will span two trading days. Does that mean the stock market will plummet as soon as the election results are in?"

Everyone started talking at once, looking at Ling Yun with puzzled expressions.

The next moment, Mr. Wang from CICC suddenly asked curiously:

"Lingyun, didn't you say that international financial markets would definitely surge after the US election results were announced?"

"Then why did you instruct all investment teams to short the market so quickly? What is the basis for this action? Can you explain?"

Ling Yun turned to look at President Wang, who was sitting in the back row listening, and without the slightest hesitation, immediately gave the basis for his judgment.

"The surge in international financial markets from yesterday to today, and even until the US stock market closes early tomorrow morning, is mainly driven by the strong stimulus from the US election and Obama's new policies."

"But this strong stimulus is just a temporary fix, not a cure. It will only last until the US election officially ends tomorrow, and then it will quickly subside."

"Based on the current election situation and polls, the US election may be decided before 1 p.m. tomorrow, with Obama securing a majority of the votes."

"That's why I asked all investment teams to quickly switch from long to short positions before the close of stock markets in various countries. Besides the election, there are several other reasons that cannot be ignored."

"After the US stock market closes tomorrow morning, the US government will release a series of important economic data, including October non-farm payrolls, employment data, and non-manufacturing data."

"These key economic indicators must be very bad. The current US administration, having lost the election, will definitely use this opportunity to give the Democrats and Obama a hard time..."

"Snapped!"

Suddenly, Mr. Lou slapped his thigh and excitedly interrupted.

"That's true. Given that cowboy president's style of doing things, he'll definitely give his successor a hard time."
