The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Around 1:30 p.m., Ling Yun left the headquarters of ChinaX Hong Kong Island by car and headed towards another high-end office building in Central.

Seeing this, several middle-level employees of ZhongX who happened to be passing by the entrance of the underground parking garage were all astonished.

"Huh, whose convoy is this? It's quite a sight, but it looks a bit unfamiliar."

"Without a doubt, the owner of this convoy is an absolute super-rich person. That brand-new bulletproof Rolls-Royce Phantom in the convoy is something most wealthy people couldn't afford to maintain!"

As they were talking, they suddenly saw...

The group's security manager led several subordinates out of the underground parking garage, then had the security personnel take down the "Parking Full" sign and escort it to the guard's office.

Several mid-level managers from ZhongX were stunned for a moment, then their eyes lit up and they began to whisper among themselves.

"No way, the garage was temporarily closed before, was it because of that super-rich guy who just rode in the Rolls-Royce Phantom?"

"It seems that's really the case. Now I'm even more curious about who this super-rich person is, that they can enjoy such special treatment?"

"You should know that this is the headquarters of China X in Hong Kong. Even if the heads of the four major families in Hong Kong came together, they wouldn't receive this special treatment."

As they whispered in surprise, the luxury convoy sped away and soon disappeared from their sight.

In less than ten minutes, the luxury convoy arrived at the famous Queen's Road Central and slowed down to drive toward the entrance to the underground parking garage of a modern office building.

Just a stone's throw from this high-end office building lies the famous Central Bank Street.

One of the most famous landmarks in Central, the Bank of China Tower, stands on this bank street.

Li Ka-shing's Hutchison Whampoa headquarters, HSBC headquarters, and other iconic buildings are all within sight!

Without a doubt, this is the most expensive prime location in Hong Kong, and the heart of Hong Kong Island's financial market and even the entire Hong Kong economy!

The appearance of this luxury convoy immediately attracted a lot of attention.

Like everyone who had seen this luxury convoy before, everyone here was filled with curiosity.

They had never seen this luxury car convoy before, nor did they know which super-rich person owned it.

But one thing is certain: the owner behind this luxury car fleet must be incredibly wealthy!

Inside the Rolls-Royce Phantom, looking at the increasingly close high-end office building, Director Yang smiled and uttered a few words of reflection.

"In that crazy bet that shook the global financial markets, Goldman Sachs, for some reason, actually gave up the property rights of this high-end office building to Yuanda Investment."

"In the current market environment, many companies in this office building have gone bankrupt, the vacancy rate has skyrocketed, and management and maintenance costs remain high, making it appear to be a negative asset."

"Once the peak of the financial crisis is over, there will be no problem quickly revitalizing this high-end office building, which will definitely bring in a large amount of high-quality cash flow. Yuanda Investment will make a fortune!"

Upon hearing these words, a fleeting smile crossed Ling Yun's eyes.

"What was Goldman Sachs thinking? You'd have to ask the former general manager of Goldman Sachs' Hong Kong branch. Without his crucial assistance, Yuanda Investment would likely have missed out on this huge opportunity!"

After muttering a few complaints to himself, Ling Yun responded with a smile.

"The reason why Goldman Sachs would offer this high-end office building as compensation to Yuanda Investment is actually quite simple: in the face of a worsening financial crisis, cash is king!"

Even Goldman Sachs, the world's largest investment bank, is facing severe cash flow problems. This high-end office building is unlikely to provide much cash flow at the moment and also requires significant maintenance costs.

"In this situation, it's actually quite normal for Goldman Sachs to get rid of these kinds of liabilities that are difficult to liquidate. For Goldman Sachs, using this office building to settle debts is a very worthwhile deal."

"Of course, if the global economy and financial markets return to normal, this deal won't be worthwhile, but with Goldman Sachs's formidable resources, it has no shortage of this type of high-end real estate..."

As they spoke, the convoy drove into the underground parking garage and disappeared from sight of people on the street.

After Lingyun finished explaining, Director Yang nodded in agreement for a few moments, then immediately raised another question.

"Yesterday you said that after a while, Yuanda Investment would transfer this office building to your name, and Siyuan Capital's Hong Kong branch would be located here."

"From now on, you'll be coming and going from this office building frequently. In that case, it might be difficult for you to keep your identity and whereabouts confidential."

Ling Yun glanced at Director Yang and nodded in response with a nonchalant air.

"That's right. Yuanda Investment will transfer this high-end office building to my personal name in the form of investment dividends. From now on, this will be a high-end property that I personally own."

"Siyuan Capital's Hong Kong branch will indeed be located in this office building. Other financial investment companies I've acquired in Hong Kong will also gradually move to this office building."

"In just about six months, or at most a year, this place will become the Hong Kong headquarters of Siyuan Capital, becoming one of the focal points of attention in the Hong Kong financial market and even the entire international financial market."

"As for secrecy, the news of my causing a stir in Hong Kong's financial markets cannot be kept secret forever. According to my estimate, keeping it secret for three months will be enough."

"During these three months, I will try to reduce the number of times I come to this office building. I will rely more on trusted subordinates to convey various investment strategies to all parties, and I will not show my face in person!"

"For example, regarding the current crisis facing China Pacific Group, I won't go to the company's headquarters anymore, but I can still remotely resolve this crisis and help China Pacific Group turn it into an opportunity..."

Seeing his confident demeanor, Director Yang was also infected by his confidence.

He had no doubt about whether Ling Yun could keep his promises.

In the blink of an eye, the convoy had arrived at the third basement level and stopped in several designated parking spaces.

As the convoy stopped, Lin Peng, who had led the advance team, appeared at the front of the convoy and reported the situation via walkie-talkie.

"The scene is safe, the conference room upstairs is safe, Mr. Ling, you can get out of the car with peace of mind."

"receive"

Zhong Tao picked up the walkie-talkie and replied, then turned and nodded to Ling Yun.

He then opened the car door and got out, quickly surveying his surroundings.

After confirming that the scene was safe, he then went forward and opened the rear door.

The next moment, Director Yang got out of the car first, followed by Ling Yun.

After landing and taking a stand, Lingyun surveyed the situation.

Due to the rapid decline in office occupancy rates, many financial companies in the building have gone bankrupt, resulting in a large number of empty parking spaces in the garage.

Especially in the VIP parking area on this floor, there are even fewer cars belonging to company bosses and executives.

Looking around, the VIP parking area was full of empty spaces, looking quite deserted and exuding a desolate atmosphere.

For Lingyun, this situation couldn't be more ideal.

This helps keep his personal identity and whereabouts confidential, so he doesn't have to worry about being seen by too many people when he comes to the company!

In addition, the fact that these bankrupt companies closed down and left the market saved him a lot of breach of contract fees.

Once Siyuan Capital's Hong Kong branch is established, and numerous financial investment companies acquired in Hong Kong move in one after another, this high-end office building will soon be filled and bustling again.

At that time, Ling Yun will no longer need to hide his identity and whereabouts. He can openly and boldly sit in the president's office on the top floor and direct his investment companies and teams to carry out their work.

Ling Yun quickly scanned the garage, then looked away and towards the elevator lobby.

"Alright, let's go up."

After saying that, he took the lead and walked towards the elevator.
