The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Chapter 381 Surpassing is only a matter of time

On Thursday night, the US stock market plummeted by 4% at the opening, but then rallied violently to close with a 7% gain at 4 a.m., marking the third-largest single-day point gain in US stock market history.

If calculated from the lowest point of the day, the increase is even more dramatic.

The international crude oil futures market and commodity trading market experienced a similar dramatic V-shaped reversal.

For example, international oil prices once rebounded to above $60, but the final gain was locked at around 4% by the morning close.

If we consider the overall position throughout the day, the increase exceeds 7%.

Faced with such an explosive surge in the market, the various investment teams and state-owned financial institutions under Lingyun's command all made a fortune.

In accordance with his investment strategy, each investment team quickly liquidated their long positions in US stocks before the US stock market closed.

However, long positions in European and Asia-Pacific stock markets remain unchanged, preparing for another big profit on Friday.

The investment departments of various airlines also liquidated their long positions in crude oil futures, preparing to switch from long to short again and continue to short international crude oil futures.

When the delegation on the special plane received these messages, they had already flown into American airspace and were less than an hour away from Washington.

Upon receiving the message, the SZ members immediately turned to look at Ling Yun's location, their eyes filled with admiration.

A moment later, Ling Yun was brought over by Deputy Director Zhang and given a private analysis of the latest international financial market situation for several SZs.

Before he began his analysis and explanation, several SZs praised him highly.

In the blink of an eye, the special plane had arrived over Washington.

In his previous life, Ling Yun never had the chance to come to America because he was imprisoned for a long time.

After being released from prison, he had to struggle to make a living every day, so there was no possibility of him coming to the United States; he couldn't even get a tourist visa.

This was his first time visiting the United States, both in his past and present lives, so it was understandably a bit of a novel experience for him.

However, when he looked out of the porthole next to his seat, all he saw was a vast rural area.

This was almost identical to the video he had seen in prison A in his previous life, so he wasn't surprised at all.

But in the current accounts of many public intellectuals, Washington shouldn't be like this!

Just as Ling Yun was silently complaining, Deputy Director Zhang suddenly approached him and whispered:

"Xiao Ling, I know you're worried about some people and things in Beijing. After the plane lands at Andrews Air Force Base, you can call your family and ask about the situation."

"But the call must not exceed thirty seconds, be concise, and you cannot say anything related to the visit or the delegation. After all, Andrews is an air force base, so it's best to be careful."

As he spoke, he handed over a portable satellite phone.

Ling Yun understood the subtext of his words perfectly.

Yesterday morning, after he dropped Jia Jingwen off at the Houhai Grand Courtyard, his mother did not immediately take her to Peking Union Medical College Hospital for a prenatal checkup.

Because the deputy director of the obstetrics and gynecology department, whom they had booked, didn't start work until the afternoon, they could only go to Peking Union Medical College Hospital in the afternoon.

The pregnancy test results were not available until Lingyun boarded the plane.

Once the private jet took off, his personal communication signal was cut off, so he couldn't make a phone call to inquire about the situation and could only patiently wait for the private jet to land.

As a result, he still doesn't know the results of his pregnancy test and is very worried about it.

After learning about this, SZ had Deputy Director Zhang bring over a satellite phone to allow him to call home immediately upon landing to find out what was going on.

"Thank you for your concern, Director Zhang. I will keep this confidential."

Ling Yun politely accepted the satellite phone.

Ten minutes later, the special plane landed smoothly on the runway at Andrews Air Force Base.

Unlike ordinary civilian airports, this one is directly operated by the U.S. Air Force and is the home of Air Force One, the presidential aircraft.

There are no conventional terminals or jet bridges here, and the parking spaces are also different from those of ordinary airports.

Looking out the porthole, you can see many different types of military aircraft, including some of the world's most advanced fighter jets and military transport planes.

Not far away, a blue and white wide-body passenger plane was parked at a berth; it was none other than the famous Air Force One.

In addition, the welcoming ceremony had been set up at an empty berth not far away.

The embassy staff, senior officials and personnel who came to greet them, as well as senior U.S. government officials and business representatives, were all in place, and the scene looked quite grand.

As soon as the private jet landed, everyone looked out the window.

Seeing the advanced fighter jets and transport planes parked at the airport, everyone couldn't hide their envy.

"The US is clearly flexing its muscles, and it has to be admitted that those muscles are indeed very well-developed!"

"Who says otherwise? With air power based on those advanced fighter jets and transport planes outside, I wonder when we'll ever have that kind of capability?"

Unlike the others who were filled with envy, Ling Yun remained calm.

He knew better than anyone that, at the current rate of development, China would catch up with the United States very soon!

When sixth-generation fighter jets fill the skies over China, it will be the turn of these damned foreigners to be filled with envy!

But all they can do is envy, be jealous, and hate them. Trying to catch up with China's development speed is just wishful thinking!

Just as he was secretly enjoying his day, the voice of the accompanying office leader came through the sound system, reiterating some important points, such as interview discipline.

During this time, the special plane changed direction several times and headed to the berth where the welcoming ceremony was to be held.

Ling Yun picked up the satellite phone, looked down, and dialed his mother's number.

It was a little past six in the morning in the capital, and the sky was just beginning to lighten.

According to our family's schedule, Mom should already be up and preparing breakfast.

as predicted!

The phone rang only two or three times before my mom answered it.

"Hello, who is this?"

Once she confirmed it was her mother's voice, Lingyun immediately got to the point.

"It's me, Mom. We've arrived at our destination safely. I only have thirty seconds to talk. How did yesterday's test results go? I've been thinking about it!"

My mom paused for a moment, then immediately realized what I meant and quickly gave me the answer.

"The test results are as you hoped, so don't worry. The most important thing is to do your job well."

As a veteran who has worked at the Municipal Archives Bureau for over twenty years, my mother is highly perceptive.

She knew very well what she could and couldn't say in Ling Yun's phone call.

Even though Ling Yun was using a military satellite phone, strict confidentiality had to be maintained.

"That's fantastic! This result is perfect. I'll hang up now and call you back later."

Ling Yun said quickly.

He hung up the phone before his mother could respond.

He glanced at his watch; it only took 24 seconds.

Seeing the call duration, he couldn't help but secretly breathe a sigh of relief.

Then, thinking about the fact that Alyssa Chia had confirmed her pregnancy, a bright smile immediately appeared on her face.

As they were talking, the private jet had already driven to the designated parking spot and slowly came to a stop.

Once the plane came to a stop, everyone got up and began to tidy their clothes, fix their hair and makeup, and so on, in preparation for the welcoming ceremony that was about to begin.

The welcoming ceremony to come is a matter of face for both China and the United States, so it cannot be taken lightly.

Especially today, with the financial crisis sweeping the globe and causing enormous damage to the global economic and financial order, the visit of the Chinese delegation is definitely a major event that has attracted worldwide attention!

That's exactly the case!

In Beijing, at Houhai, a large courtyard house.

After ending the call, Mom immediately left the kitchen and walked quickly towards the living room in the north room.

As soon as she reached the living room door, she heard her grandmother's excited voice coming from inside.

"Look, the private jet has landed. I wonder if we'll see Yunzi later?"
