The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

After chatting about other things for a while and feeling that they had gotten to know each other a bit better, Chairman Liu finally asked the question he was most concerned about.

"Mr. Ling, there are rumors in the international financial market that you are the mastermind behind Yuanda Investment, secretly directing Yuanda Investment to sweep through the entire international financial market."

"Yuanda Investment has been incredibly successful in the international crude oil futures market and in the stock markets of Europe and the United States, making a staggering amount of wealth in a very short time."

"The most famous of these was his bet against Goldman Sachs and Barclays on stock index options, which reportedly netted him tens of billions of dollars and shocked the entire international financial market."

"In the international financial market, especially in the Hong Kong financial market, this bet was hailed as a divine operation, and everyone was in awe of it. Are these all your achievements?"

As he spoke these words with great enthusiasm, Chairman Liu kept a close eye on Ling Yun's eyes and expression.

He tried to judge his true reaction by observing changes in his eyes and expressions, in order to verify his own judgment.

Ling Yun did not respond immediately, but fell silent.

After pretending to think for a moment, he smiled and nodded.

"Chairman Liu, since you personally took me to Hong Kong Island, I can't just make up lies to fool you. Let's talk behind closed doors. I really am the mastermind behind Yuanda Investment!"

"Since the official outbreak of the subprime crisis, all the major investment strategies made by Yuanda Investment have been orchestrated behind the scenes by me, and fortunately, the results have been quite good!"

"But I'm just saying this, and you're just listening to it. Once you leave here, I won't admit that I said these things, and Yuanda Investment isn't a company under my name."

"Wow! It's really true, that's amazing!"

With a gasp, Chairman Liu was stunned on the spot.

Not only him, but the other people at the scene were also stunned and speechless.

The next moment, Liu Dong, realizing what was happening, excitedly reached out his hands and tried to shake Ling Yun's hands.

However, he forgot to unbuckle his seatbelt, and just as he was about to touch Ling Yun's right hand, he was pulled back by the taut seatbelt.

"Well!"

Chairman Liu choked for a moment, his face instantly turning bright red.

Seeing this, Ling Yun couldn't help but chuckle.

"Haha, Mr. Liu, this is your private jet cabin. Even if I had wings, I couldn't fly away."

"Let's talk things out slowly, no need to rush. This trip will take a long time, there's plenty of time!"

Chairman Liu blushed, then made a few self-deprecating remarks.

"Please excuse my prestige, Mr. Ling. I was indeed a bit anxious, mainly because your investment performance is truly astonishing!"

"I've been in the financial markets for decades, and I've never seen an investment performance like that of Yuanda Investment. He truly deserves to be called the god of investment."

"Haha, don't mention any investment god, it's just a joke, don't take it seriously."

Ling Yun smiled and shook his head.

After a few jokes, Chairman Liu quickly composed himself and then asked expectantly:

"To be honest, Mr. Ling, since the financial crisis broke out, I have suffered considerable losses in the financial markets!"

"If possible, I hope you can offer some guidance. I own several investment companies and hope to explore some collaborations with Yuanda Investment."

"If you're willing to offer guidance, regardless of the investment outcome, I will pay you consulting fees according to the highest market standards, without hesitation!"

"If we can cooperate with Yuanda Investment, I'm willing to offer you half of my investment profits as compensation, just for this opportunity."

Without the slightest hesitation, Ling Yun shook his head.

"I'm very sorry, Mr. Liu, but I have a special mission to undertake in Hong Kong this time, and I cannot provide you with direct investment advice."

"As you probably know, Yuanda Investment's parent company is Yuanda Group, which is a state-owned investment institution controlled by the Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission."

"If your investment company wants to cooperate with Yuanda Investment, it must get the approval of Yuanda Group and the Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission. I cannot overstep my bounds."

"Of course, the fact that we can't cooperate this time doesn't mean we can't cooperate in the future. I've established an investment company called Siyuan Investment."

"Siyuan Investment is just starting out, and it will expand into Hong Kong Island in a while. If you still want to cooperate then, we can sit down and talk about it again."

Upon hearing the first part of the statement, a look of disappointment immediately flashed across Chairman Liu's face.

He was extremely disappointed that he failed to seize such a golden opportunity!

Just as he was about to try to salvage the situation, Ling Yun blurted out the rest of his words.

Hope reappeared, and Chairman Liu's sorrow instantly turned to joy.

As soon as Ling Yun finished speaking, he nodded hurriedly, as if afraid that Ling Yun would change his mind.

"That's great, Mr. Ling! As long as you're willing to cooperate with me and help me make money, I'm willing to wait as long as it takes!"

"Regarding your investment company's entry into Hong Kong Island, there's something I can do for you. Just ask; I still have some influence in Hong Kong's financial markets!"

"The other matter is the cooperation with Broad Investment. After returning to Hong Kong Island, I will find a suitable opportunity to go to Shanghai to communicate with Broad Group and the Shanghai State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission."

They then talked about this issue for a while longer.

Near the end of the conversation, Chairman Liu suddenly asked:

"Mr. Ling, what impact will this financial summit have on the future trend of the international financial market? Is now a good time to buy at the bottom?"

"After our country announced its massive market rescue plan yesterday, the entire international financial market was jubilant, and everyone said that Monday would definitely see a surge."

"After the summit declaration and five action plans were officially released this morning, market sentiment changed again, and many people are saying that Monday will see a drop."

"This confusing situation makes it really hard to judge. Yesterday I was thinking of making a big buy at the bottom, but today I'm hesitant again..."

Ling Yun looked at this Hong Kong tycoon and fell silent once again.

After thinking for three or four seconds, he shook his head.

"Chairman Liu, I can't say for sure whether the international financial markets will rise or fall on Monday, and I can't make an accurate prediction!"

"What I can say is that now is definitely not a good time to buy at the bottom. The international financial markets haven't bottomed out yet, so you might as well wait a bit longer."

Chairman Liu paused for a moment, then nodded excitedly in response.

"Okay, Mr. Ling, then I'll wait a while longer before buying in at the bottom!"

"Thank you for your guidance. Now I feel much more confident!"

For him, Ling Yun's subtle guidance was absolutely invaluable.

This will allow him to avoid the misfortune of buying at the bottom only halfway down the mountain. Once the international financial market truly bottoms out, he will have more ammunition at his disposal, and he will be able to earn more after buying at the bottom!

After chatting for a while about the international financial market, Lingyun took the initiative to change the subject and began to inquire about the financial market in Hong Kong, as well as various aspects of social and economic life in Hong Kong.

For the next period of time, he will stay in Hong Kong Island to handle some matters, complete some tasks, and incidentally continue to make a fortune in the international financial market!

Although he plans to stay home and not have much contact with the outside world, it is still very necessary to learn more about the current situation in Hong Kong Island. There will only be benefits and no harm!

Chairman Liu answered all his questions without reservation.

He even spoke animatedly about some of the so-called secrets of Hong Kong's high society, either as a topic of conversation or to attract Ling Yun's attention, and so on!

While they were chatting, the top-of-the-line private jet quickly flew over the Pacific Ocean and continued its high-speed flight towards the other side of the ocean!

Looking out the porthole at the vast Pacific Ocean, Ling Yun felt instantly relaxed and his mind and body became even more carefree!
