The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

At 2 p.m., the first high-level bilateral meeting began.

The other side of this bilateral meeting was a group of high-ranking members of the Russian delegation, including, naturally, the special agent president.

After the morning's meeting, especially the huge shock brought by the groundbreaking bailout plan, the Russian delegation's senior officials took the matter more seriously than last night and attached greater importance to this bilateral meeting.

During the talks, both sides discussed and reiterated a series of important topics.

These topics include promoting the voice of emerging market countries in international financial markets, coordinating the positions of BRICS countries, opposing trade protectionism, and supporting IMF and World Bank reforms.

The talks went very smoothly, and both sides reached an agreement or a cooperation intention on almost all the issues discussed.

Compared to the previous life, this bilateral meeting yielded more results.

One of the most important achievements was a series of cooperation intentions reached between the two sides in the energy sector, such as the construction of an oil pipeline connecting China and Russia.

This high-level bilateral meeting lasted for more than an hour before it came to a successful conclusion.

After the meeting concluded and he saw the Russian delegation off, the person who had been the primary recipient of his service turned around and gently patted Ling Yun on the shoulder, his eyes full of admiration.

"Good, Comrade Xiao Ling, you did a very good job."

Following his praise, all the Chinese representatives in the conference room turned to look.

Without exception, everyone looked on with admiration.

Those in the know, including Vice President Wang, were perfectly aware of the source of that person's praise.

Those who are unaware of the details can roughly guess what's going on.

In their view, it was normal for Ling Yun to create any kind of miracle, and it was even more normal for him to receive high praise from that person.

Over the past two days, we've seen this kind of thing many times, and it's become commonplace.

Then, looking at Ling Yun, one should naturally exchange a few polite words.

"Thank you for the compliment, SZ. I'm truly undeserving. I was just doing my job..."

Just then, Deputy Director Zhang knocked on the door and entered the conference room to report on the situation.

"SZ, Brazilian President Lula and his delegation have arrived and are in the rest area outside."

"Xiao Ling, well done, keep it up!"

The man patted Ling Yun's arm lightly again, then turned to look at Vice President Wang and the others.

"Let's go out and greet the Brazilian president and his entourage."

After he finished speaking, he led everyone out of the conference room to greet the next person he was meeting with.

A few minutes later, the core members of the two delegations entered the meeting room together.

They then shook hands and sat down on either side of the conference table to formally begin bilateral talks.

As before, Ling Yun sat next to that person, continuing to play his role as a financial translator.

When necessary, he is also the closest, most professional, and most experienced top financial advisor.

The core issue of this bilateral meeting was that, against the backdrop of the global financial crisis, emerging economies should unite closely and work together to address it.

And to develop strategies to jointly enhance the voice of emerging economies.

Compared to the previous life, this bilateral meeting had several more topics to cover.

These new topics cover China's robust domestic demand for mineral resources, Brazil's vast consumer market, and various mineral resources, among others.

When these new topics were discussed, the man and Vice President Wang and the others glanced at Ling Yun in unison, their eyes filled with undisguised admiration.

Ling Yun sat upright and meticulously provided simultaneous interpretation.

The talks with Brazil lasted for an hour before concluding successfully.

Next came the bilateral talks with the British delegation, or more precisely, the second meeting at this financial summit.

The main topics of this meeting were strengthening financial regulation, coordinating global stimulus policies, and cooperating with both sides in a deeper and broader range of areas and in various forms.

Similar to the Russian and Brazilian delegations, the British were much more humble in their attitude compared to the first meeting last night, and were willing to make more concessions and support emerging market countries in gaining more say in the international financial market.

Compared to the previous life, this meeting covered nearly a third more topics and took more than twenty minutes longer.

The talks only ended when the American delegation, who were waiting at the back of the line, were getting impatient.

Both sides were very satisfied with the outcome of the talks.

Just two minutes after the British delegation left, US Treasury Secretary Paulson and Federal Reserve Chairman Bernanke led a group of high-ranking US officials into the meeting room.

After exchanging greetings and a few pleasantries upon entering, the two sides sat down on either side of the conference table to formally begin their talks.

The talks with the US side remained focused on the implementation of the four trillion yuan stimulus package and cooperation between the two sides based on it.

There are also topics such as communication and coordination on global coordinated market rescue, the exchange rate between the RMB and the US dollar, and maintaining the stability of the US dollar and financial markets.

Compared to the previous life, this meeting added some topics.

As for what it is, I really dare not write it down; the authors of these cards are going crazy.

In the blink of an eye, it was already past six o'clock in the evening, and the sky outside had completely darkened.

The closed-door negotiations for the evening are about to begin, and this bilateral meeting between China and the United States has just ended.

Subsequently, representatives from both sides stood up and shook hands with each other.

After going through these formalities, Paulson suddenly turned to look at Ling Yun, smiled, and greeted him.

"Your translation is highly professional and accurate, Mr. Ling. Your professionalism is admirable."

"I am aware of your previous conversation with Lloyd, and I apologize for his rudeness."

"As you probably know, I used to be the CEO of Goldman Sachs, and I will be returning to Wall Street in the future. If there is an opportunity, I would like to have a good chat with you."

As soon as he said this, everyone in the meeting room looked at Ling Yun.

With a smile, Vice President Wang nodded slightly, allowing him to speak directly with Paulson.

Ling Yun smiled calmly and exchanged a few polite words in response.

"You flatter me, Mr. Finance Minister. I am just an ordinary member of the delegation. There are many people in the delegation who are more capable than me."

"Thank you for your attention. If there is an opportunity in the future, I would be very happy to have an in-depth discussion with the Finance Minister. Right now, I am only focused on my work."

As he spoke, he stepped forward and shook hands with Paulson.

Paulson and Bernanke both felt a headache coming on when they saw his watertight answer once again.

On the contrary, Vice President Wang and his colleagues were secretly laughing.

After chatting for a few more minutes, Paulson and his group left the meeting room first.

After watching them leave, the person who was the primary recipient of service gently patted Ling Yun's arm.

"Good job, Xiaoling."

Immediately afterwards, he raised his hand to look at his watch, smiled, and said loudly:

"Everyone, please get ready, and then head to the main venue for closed-door consultations."

"Okay, SZ"

Everyone responded enthusiastically and immediately got to work.

In a short while, everyone quickly packed up the documents and other materials on the table, left the designated meeting room together, and headed towards the main venue.

When they arrived at the entrance of the main venue, all the relevant personnel from other delegations had already gathered there, ready to enter the venue.

People gathered in small groups, chatting and laughing, or discussing matters related to the summit.

In addition to representatives from various countries, a large number of media reporters were also present.

These guys stayed in the designated media area, setting up their cameras and microphones to take photos and conduct interviews with the members of the various national delegations.

At that moment, several reporters suddenly shouted in unison:

"Look, the Chinese delegation is here! Let's go interview them!"
