The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Although Obama won the traditionally red state of Indiana, the interference of Republicans and the cowboy president significantly diminished this local victory.

Following the release of a series of extremely poor economic data, Japanese and South Korean stock markets, which opened at 8:00 AM, both plummeted, directly dragging down the entire Asia-Pacific financial market.

Subsequently, the Hong Kong stock market, the A-share market, and other Asia-Pacific stock markets all experienced sharp declines upon reopening.

Meanwhile, the US presidential election is in full swing and has entered a fierce stage.

Around 9:30 a.m., the latest news came.

Obama won the key swing state of Virginia, marking the first time the KMT has won this crucial state since 1964.

Upon hearing this news, Ling Yun immediately gave a resolute conclusion.

"Director Zhang, the KMT's victory is secured, and Obama's win in this election is a foregone conclusion."

"Virginia is too important. The Republicans losing 21 electoral votes from this state means defeat is inevitable!"

As soon as the words were spoken, Deputy Director Zhang's voice came through.

"That's right, almost everyone in the media holds this view: Obama winning Virginia means he won this election."

"I must say, you're amazing, kid. Your predictions for the US election were incredibly accurate. What's even more astonishing is your grasp of human nature in both parties..."

Ling Yun naturally responded with polite words in response to Deputy Director Zhang's praise.

In the international financial market, the news of Obama's takeover of Virginia triggered a brief rebound.

Unfortunately, this rebound was short-lived and weak, and was quickly overwhelmed by a wave of panic selling.

Compared to the international financial market, the international crude oil futures market did not even rebound, and fell like a dramatic plunge!

Seeing this, Ling Yun was completely relieved.

Today, instead of going to the CIC headquarters to oversee operations, he stayed in his luxurious study, closely monitoring international financial market trends and the progress of the US election, remotely directing various investment teams.

At the same time, preparations are underway for the global financial summit in the middle of the month.

Before we knew it, it was noon.

In the restaurant, Lingyun was having lunch with Da Meiyuan and Jia Jingwen, chatting about company matters and the US presidential election, among other things.

The LCD TV hanging on the wall is broadcasting the US presidential election live.

Just then, a bombshell announcement came over the television.

According to reports from CNN and other mainstream US media outlets, the latest statistics show that the Democratic Party has won more than half of the electoral votes.

"Based on this result, Democratic candidate Obama will be elected the 44th President of the United States, becoming the first African American president in American history..."

Upon hearing the news, Ling Yun immediately stopped talking and looked up at the television screen.

Da Mei Yuan and Jia Jingwen were the same; they both turned to look at the TV with delight in their eyes.

Under Lingyun's subtle influence, coupled with the rapid increase in their personal wealth from the international financial market, they are now quite concerned about international financial market trends and international politics.

Moreover, they understood that Obama and the Democratic Party's rise to power meant increased volatility in international financial markets, which would be far more beneficial than harmful to them.

In the past, such a thing would never have happened to them; they would never have dreamed that these things would be related to them.

Unbeknownst to them, each of their fates underwent a tremendous and earth-shattering change because of Ling Yun!

This change is certainly good; it's the best outcome they've ever dreamed of.

Just as they were looking at the television screen, Obama appeared on the live broadcast, with his wife in charge of the campaign headquarters.

The couple gave a joint interview to the media, and were still campaigning and canvassing for the election.

Many in the Democratic Party campaign already know that major news outlets have just officially announced Obama's election as the 44th President of the United States.

As the news spread rapidly, Obama's campaign headquarters erupted in cheers.

Meanwhile, the global financial news scrolling across the top of the television screen showed that the international financial markets were still falling and had not rebounded despite Obama's election as president.

Seeing the cheers on the live broadcast, Da Meiyuan and Jia Jingwen's eyes lit up with excitement.

They were certainly not happy about Obama's election as president, but rather excited because Obama's election would make the international financial markets more volatile, and they could make more money.

As they spoke, the live television broadcast changed again.

The footage that appeared on the television screen was of Republican candidate McCain's campaign headquarters.

Unlike Obama's campaign headquarters, the atmosphere at McCain's campaign headquarters was unusually oppressive, with people looking dejected, like defeated soldiers!

Even the flags used for rallying support were drooping, seemingly foreshadowing the election results.

Upon seeing this, Da Meiyuan suddenly smiled and said:

"It seems the outcome of this US presidential election is already decided. Shouldn't Obama declare victory next?"

Immediately following, Alyssa Chia showered the audience with compliments.

"Honey, your predictions about the US election were incredibly accurate, almost flawless!"

"If McCain had asked you to be his campaign advisor, he might have turned the tide of the election."

"Snapped!"

Ling Yun lightly patted her sexy thigh and teased her with a smile.

"Haha, you've gone too far with your praise. If McCain dared to hire me as his campaign advisor, he wouldn't even make it past the Republican primaries."

"The reason is simple: I am Chinese. If I were to interfere in the US presidential election, hiring my people would be tantamount to suicide!"

"On the surface, Sino-US relations seem to be going so well, but in reality, it's far from that. The US imperialists have never given up their desire to destroy us!"

Then, he turned to look at Da Meiyuan and responded to her question.

"Although Obama's election is a foregone conclusion, he will not immediately declare victory. Instead, he will wait until McCain publicly concedes defeat before delivering his victory speech."

"This is a generally accepted procedure that any presidential candidate with a sound mind will follow, except, of course, those with mental illnesses..."

At this point, he couldn't help but think of his comrade Jian Guo and the King of K-lines from his previous life!

Those in the know all claim to be investment geniuses, invincible, but compared to Comrade Jianguo, who draws his own K-line charts, they are far inferior!

Next, Lingyun briefly explained what might happen between Obama's confirmation of victory and the delivery of his victory speech.

Things unfolded exactly as he had predicted.

At 12:30 pm, McCain called Obama and publicly conceded defeat, which was relatively dignified.

Half an hour later, Obama delivered his victory speech at his campaign headquarters in Chicago.

With this, the US presidential election held amidst the financial crisis has come to a close.

From now until early January next year, the two governments will begin the transfer of power.

Due to differences in governing philosophies and the differing interests of the capital groups they represent, this period will inevitably cause severe turmoil in the US financial market and international financial markets.

For Lingyun, this is a golden opportunity that he absolutely cannot miss!

After watching Obama's victory speech, Ling Yun went upstairs to his study, turned on his computer, and prepared to check the international financial market.

While waiting for his computer to boot up, he casually dialed Director Li's number.

After exchanging greetings and discussing the US election results briefly, he immediately got to the point.

"Good news often turns into bad news, Director Li. A sharp drop in the US stock market tonight is a foregone conclusion. With the election results in hand, it's time for the massive amounts of betting capital to exit the market!"

"While the market had positive expectations for Obama's new policies, they couldn't withstand the enormous impact of the collapsing fundamentals and economic recession. The Democratic Party's policies were also a disaster..."
