The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

After entering the main building of the villa, Ling Yun gave a brief introduction to the top-tier mansion and then led Chairman Zhao and his group on a tour of the first floor and garden.

During this time, there was naturally a chorus of exclamations of "Wow!"

Looking at everything inside this top-tier mansion, Chairman Zhao and the others felt they couldn't take it all in, their eyes filled with envy.

A short while later, Uncle Li came over to inform them.

The chefs have prepared dinner, which is all laid out on the table, and the wine has been decanted.

Ling Yun nodded, then smiled and said:

"Everyone has worked hard. Uncle Li, please take Sister Yue and the others outside. Chairman Zhao and the others are old acquaintances, so we can just drink by ourselves."

"During the meal, I had some investment matters to discuss with Chairman Zhao and the others, which need to be kept confidential at this stage."

Uncle Li was not displeased at all by his frankness.

"Okay, Mr. Ling, please feel free to call me anytime if you need anything."

After saying that, he turned and went to the restaurant.

Then, together with the office staff who were staying in the restaurant, we left the main building.

After watching them leave, Chairman Zhao immediately asked in a low voice:

"Ling Yun, your butler doesn't seem like an ordinary person, does he...?"

As he spoke, he raised a thumb and gestured upwards a few times.

The meaning behind his gesture was immediately clear to everyone.

Ling Yun naturally understood and nodded with a smile.

The next moment, he immediately changed the subject.

"Let's go to the restaurant and enjoy the delicious food prepared by the chefs. We can also discuss the situation in the international financial market and potential collaborations."

"To be honest, like you, this is my first time tasting a Cantonese meal prepared by the chef class."

"These past two days, I've been so busy I haven't had a moment to breathe. I only ate breakfast at home once; lunch and dinner were both out!"

Chairman Zhao and the others exchanged a glance, then nodded in unison.

"Okay, thanks to you, we'll also try some Cantonese cuisine with a Hong Kong flavor!"

Afterwards, Lingyun led them away from the garden and they went to the restaurant together.

The restaurant was now empty, and the tables were laden with delicious dishes that looked and smelled wonderful, making one's mouth water!

Ling Yun glanced around the restaurant and casually pointed to the chairs at the table.

"Please sit wherever you like, don't be shy. I'm not one to stand on ceremony when I'm with acquaintances and old friends, so please be comfortable."

"Okay, that definitely makes me feel more comfortable."

Chairman Zhao smiled and nodded in response.

Despite saying that, everyone still followed the rules when they took their seats.

The main seat naturally belonged to Ling Yun, with Chairman Zhao sitting to his left and General Manager Wang of Yuanda Investment sitting in the first seat on his right.

Then came the two investment directors, with Zhou Hua and Zhang Yuntian sitting at the very back!

After settling down, Ling Yun picked up the remote control that was placed to the side, casually turned on the large screen TV hanging on the wall, and tuned the TV to the financial channel.

This is one of his habits: to watch international financial news while eating.

Those sitting in this restaurant right now are all seasoned professionals from the financial industry.

It's not surprising that Chairman Zhao and his colleagues have similar habits.

After tuning the TV to the right channel, Lingyun invited everyone to pick up their chopsticks and enjoy the delicious food prepared by his team of chefs.

Then, he picked up a piece of steamed wild grouper with his chopsticks and put it in his mouth.

The moment the fish entered his mouth, he felt a tender, smooth, and sweet taste, and the aroma instantly filled his entire mouth.

In terms of taste, wild grouper tastes somewhat like chicken, but it is more tender and has a richer aroma, leaving a lingering fragrance in the mouth and making it very tempting.

At the same time, Chairman Zhao and the others picked up different delicacies from their respective plates and eagerly put them into their mouths.

After a brief chewing, tasting, and savoring, their eyes lit up.

"This tastes absolutely amazing! Even a five-star hotel's executive chef wouldn't be able to achieve this level!"

"Wow, this shark fin soup is up to state banquet standards! We really made the right choice coming here tonight, we're going to have a real feast!"

Seeing Zhao Dong and the others' performance, Ling Yun smiled and nodded.

"Since everyone is satisfied, please enjoy! I'm completely reassured about the culinary skills of the chef training class!"

"Let's talk about work while we eat."

At this point, he turned to look at Mr. Wang of Yuanda Investment.

"Mr. Wang, my private lawyer will be arriving in Hong Kong Island in a couple of days to help me assemble an acquisition team, which includes professionals such as lawyers and accountants."

"The settlement of investment dividends between me and Yuanda Investment will be handled by my private lawyer. Yuanda Investment will need to cooperate..."

Without the slightest hesitation, Mr. Wang immediately nodded in response.

"No problem, we will fully cooperate."

"very good"

Ling Yun smiled and nodded, then continued:

"For the next period of time, I will stay on Hong Kong Island, using it as a springboard to lead Siyuan Capital and its other investment companies directly into the international financial market."

"The investment profits distributed to me by Yuanda Investment no longer need to be transferred to the mainland through the Bank of China in Hong Kong as before. Now they stay directly in Hong Kong for investment."

"The State-owned Assets Supervision and Administration Commission and the China Banking Regulatory Commission have both approved this matter. It is legal and compliant, but they will not disclose it to the public. You will receive the relevant documents by Friday at the latest."

"There's one more thing. My lawyer will be in contact with you regarding the transfer of ownership of the two luxury apartment buildings, the Grand Mansion on Queen's Road Central and the Ritz-Carlton Gardens..."

Next, Lingyun talked about some other things.

All of these matters are related to Yuanda Investment, including profit sharing, transfer of fixed assets, and other cooperative matters.

For example, fixed assets, in addition to the Grand Mansion and two luxury apartment buildings, also include several properties and land located in Kowloon and Hong Kong Island, which will also be transferred to Ling Yun's name.

These fixed assets were basically compensation from the bets between Goldman Sachs and Barclays. Yuanda Investment then converted them into market value and paid them to Lingyun as compensation!

President Wang had no objection to Ling Yun's proposals and immediately nodded in agreement.

These matters have already been approved and resolved within the Broad Group; they are simply being discussed on the table now.

Before long, Lingyun and President Wang had reached an agreement on these matters.

The next second, Chairman Zhao eagerly chimed in:

"Lingyun, judging from your words, it's a done deal that your Siyuan Capital is entering the Hong Kong financial market, and you plan to acquire some financial investment companies in Hong Kong."

"It seems you're planning to make a big splash in Hong Kong's financial markets, using it as a springboard to lead your capital group directly into the international financial markets and make a big splash!"

"Siyuan Capital's rapid expansion in Hong Kong is just around the corner. Will this affect your cooperation with Yuanda Group? We hope the cooperation can continue..."

Ling Yun looked at Chairman Zhao, smiled, and shook his head.

"It's true that Siyuan Capital is making a big push into the Hong Kong financial market, but that won't affect my cooperation with Yuanda Group. I will continue to provide Yuanda Group with investment strategies, but I'll just need to make some minor adjustments to the way we cooperate."

"Because of my connections and the series of miracles created by Yuanda Investment, there are now countless people eyeing Yuanda Investment. We can take advantage of this and have Yuanda Investment provide cover."

"I'll tell you the details of how it will work later. Our cooperation with the Yuanda Group headquarters can continue; for example, I will continue to provide investment strategies in the crude oil futures market..."

"call!"

Chairman Zhao and the others all breathed a sigh of relief, their faces instantly lighting up with smiles!
