The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

As Lingyun had anticipated, the official announcement of the Financial Summit Declaration and the five action plans marked the beginning of reforms and governance in the international financial market.

For example, emerging market countries have gained more say, successfully avoided being stigmatized and smeared, promoted reforms of the IMF and the World Bank, and gained more voting rights, etc.

Of course, such a major reform takes time to advance and complete; it cannot be accomplished overnight!

Developed Western countries are unlikely to willingly relinquish any power and will inevitably try every means to retaliate and defend their vested interests.

Emerging market countries will not easily obtain the powers mentioned in the declaration; they can only truly achieve their goals through continuous struggle.

It cannot be ruled out that there may be traitors in emerging market countries who would betray their own country and the interests of other emerging countries.

Ling Yun had witnessed such a thing more than once in his previous life.

For example, some emerging South American countries are prone to going back on their word, and they will follow whoever offers them the best benefits!

In light of this, Lingyun privately reminded Vice President Wang and the others to be careful about this situation and to have some reservations about trusting certain emerging market countries!

For Vice President Wang and his team, who are experienced in combat, these issues had already been considered, and contingency plans had been prepared!

The declaration and action plan of the financial summit immediately caused a huge sensation in the international financial market and drew cheers.

However, many professionals quickly discovered that the financial summit declaration and the five action plans were not perfect and had significant limitations and inherent shortcomings.

For example, there is a lack of binding force, a lack of implementation mechanisms, a short-term lack of globally unified large-scale bailout funds, a slow pace of reform, and a failure to address the fundamental issues of the dollar system.

As these limitations and inherent shortcomings were analyzed and brought to the forefront, the previously jubilant market sentiment began to recede rapidly!

At this time, Ling Yun had already returned to the hotel with the delegation and started packing her luggage.

This afternoon he will leave Washington with his delegation for a series of state visits to various countries in Central and South America.

The delegation did not leave the Americas until a week later, after the APEC meeting in Lima, Peru concluded!

Then he flew to Greece in Europe for a visit, and returned home after the visit.

But this is only the delegation's itinerary, and only the complete itinerary that has been made public.

When it comes to Ling Yun, that's a different story!

A minor incident occurred when the delegation returned to the hotel.

Perhaps Lloyd wanted to try one last time, or perhaps something else had happened, but he somehow managed to find Yi Xing through Ling Yun's university president and conveyed a message to Ling Yun, wanting to meet and talk with him.

Ling Yun's attitude remained unchanged. Using the excuse that his current role was merely that of a full-time translator and that nothing else was involved, he once again refused the request to meet.

Just to save face for Yi Xing and the university president, they said they could consider finding another opportunity to meet with Lloyd later!

Upon receiving this answer, Yi Xing smiled and made a phone call to Ling Yun's university president to explain his stance!

As for Lourdes' reaction to this answer, it's easy to imagine that he was furious!

Back in her room upstairs, Lingyun was preparing to pack her luggage.

Deputy Director Zhang knocked on the door and came in, informing him to go to the luxury suite where the primary service recipient was staying for a small debriefing meeting.

Although this debriefing meeting was small, it was extremely important, as all the senior members of the delegation and several members of the think tank were required to attend.

Hearing this, Ling Yun couldn't help but be a little surprised.

"Did I hear that right, Director Zhang? Am I really qualified to attend this debriefing meeting?"

Seeing his surprised yet delighted expression, Deputy Director Zhang chuckled.

"Haha, Xiaoling, don't underestimate yourself. Everyone saw how brilliant your performance was at this global financial summit."

"You are not only qualified to attend this debriefing meeting, but you should also be prepared to speak. Do your best later."

"Alright! I'll definitely do my best and live up to your expectations."

Ling Yun nodded vigorously.

Immediately afterwards, he picked up the suit jacket he had just taken off and put it back on.

He straightened his tie again before following Deputy Director Zhang out of the guest room and heading towards the presidential suite on the same floor.

Just as they stepped out the door, Deputy Director Zhang suddenly whispered:

"I'll explain why Lourdes asked to meet you again at the coffee shop downstairs at the hotel this afternoon after we leave Washington."

"Now all you need to know is that the operation in the early hours of the morning was a great success. The personnel involved successfully achieved their objectives and even had some unexpected gains."

Ling Yun paused for a moment, then suddenly realized.

Although he didn't know the details of the operation in the early morning, he knew the objective very well, because this was the trap he had set!

The next moment, he smiled and nodded slightly.

"I see. No wonder Lourdes was so agitated. This is getting more and more interesting."

As they spoke, they arrived at the door of the presidential suite.

After a brief announcement, they pushed open the door and entered the presidential suite.

Five minutes later, everyone who participated in the debriefing meeting gathered and took their seats in the conference room of the suite.

The meeting then began to summarize the delegation’s performance at the global financial summit, as well as the process and results of the meeting.

The person who chaired this summary meeting was Vice President Wang, who is in charge of economic and financial work.

After a concise and clear opening, he smiled and looked at Ling Yun, who was sitting at the conference table.

"Before the meeting officially begins, I would like to highly praise and commend Xiaoling for her performance during this global financial summit."

"Xiao Ling, your performance was outstanding. You played a crucial role in helping the delegation successfully achieve a series of strategic goals at the summit..."

"Swish"

Everyone on the scene turned to look at Ling Yun, their faces beaming with smiles and eyes full of admiration.

"Splash!"

Ling Yun gently pushed the chair back and quickly stood up.

As soon as Vice President Wang finished speaking, he quickly nodded and said a few words of modesty.

"You flatter me, SZ. I'm unworthy of such praise. I only did what I was supposed to do; it's nothing to boast about."

"The delegation's successful achievement of a series of strategic goals is a result of the visionary leadership and effective governance of all members of the SZ delegation, as well as the collective wisdom and hard work of everyone in the delegation."

"I'm just a small cog in the machine, I dare not take credit..."

Before he finished speaking, laughter immediately erupted from the audience.

"Haha, I didn't expect you to be such a sly fellow. That's a very eloquent thing to say."

"No need to be modest, Xiaoling. Everyone has seen your performance, and no one can deny your outstanding achievements."

Ling Yun chuckled, scratched his head, and said a few more modest words.

This little incident passed quickly, and Vice President Wang swiftly got to the point.

"Xiao Ling, now that you've stood up, don't rush to sit down. Let's start this debriefing meeting with you here!"

"In this conference room, you have the most extensive practical experience in international financial markets, and you are invincible in every battle. Your understanding of international financial markets is extremely profound."

"Then you can tell us, what impact will the summit declaration and the five action plans have on international financial markets?"

With Vice President Wang's words, everyone's attention once again focused on Ling Yun.

Looking at Ling Yun again, he quickly adjusted his emotions and thoughts, and immediately gave a response.

"Regarding the impact of this financial summit on global financial markets, I believe it can be viewed from three perspectives."

"The first aspect is the short-term market impact. Over the next two to three months, risk appetite in international financial markets will see a phased recovery."

"The US dollar is likely to weaken in the short term, with non-US currencies and commodities leading the recovery. Market sentiment will gradually improve, and panic will subside."

"The second is the transformation of market systems and trading logic in the medium to long term. With the conclusion of the summit, the market pricing logic will be permanently switched, and policy expectations will become the primary driver of asset pricing..."
