The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

After discussing the continued cooperation with Yuanda Investment, Ling Yun turned to look at Chairman Zhao sitting on his left.

"There's one more thing, Chairman Zhao. You should prepare for the transfer of controlling stakes in those local television stations and media resources in North America!"

"At the latest by next Wednesday, Siyuan Capital's acquisition team will contact you to formally acquire controlling stakes in those North American local television stations and media resources."

"Only after Siyuan Capital has completed the acquisition and truly taken control of those North American television stations and media resources can its negotiations with Hearst Corporation enter a substantive stage."

Without the slightest hesitation, Chairman Zhao immediately nodded in response.

"No problem. Once your team arrives in Hong Kong Island, we can immediately begin the transfer of controlling stake."

"Our group's takeover team is currently in New York and has completed all the takeover work for the controlling stake and finished the share transfer registration procedures."

"After we complete the transaction in Hong Kong, your receiving team will then head to New York, where we can complete the share transfer registration again."

"Judging from your series of moves, you're aiming to become a media tycoon, not just a big shot dominating the international financial markets."

Ling Yun smiled and shook his head, offering a few words of modesty.

"The term 'media tycoon' is a bit of an exaggeration. I don't have such grand ambitions in the film and entertainment media field."

"But I'm determined to acquire these local North American television stations and high-quality media resources. To be honest, I need these media tools!"

"Finance, politics, and public opinion have always been inextricably linked, a fact that is not obvious domestically but is crucial internationally."

"I need channels and tools that I can fully control to make my voice heard internationally, so that I won't be maliciously smeared by competitors..."

Chairman Zhao and President Wang exchanged a glance, both looking somewhat shocked.

They understood this very clearly.

Ling Yun's ambitions were far more exaggerated than he had imagined.

After finishing that matter, Ling Yun took the initiative to change the subject and introduced the relevant matters of Siyuan Capital's entry into Hong Kong Island and his own acquisition of a financial investment company in Hong Kong Island.

However, he did not mention cooperating with China Pacific Group to help them resolve their current crisis and launch a counterattack.

After he finished his introduction, Zhou Hua couldn't wait to ask:

"You called Yun Tian and me to Hong Kong Island to join your newly formed investment team. What roles do you need us to play?"

Immediately following suit, Zhang Yuntian nodded in agreement.

"Exactly, what do you plan to make us do? Just tell us, we'll do our job without hesitation!"

Ling Yun looked at the two guys and gave his answer with a smile.

"I've called you all to Hong Kong Island for three reasons, assuming it's my newly formed investment team and company!"

"My first objective is to have some trustworthy eyes and ears to secretly monitor the movements of the new investment team and the new company, just in case!"

"We've fought side-by-side for several years, and I have complete trust in your character and professional abilities. You are the only choice!"

"The second objective is that my newly formed investment team includes a crude oil futures trading team, and you are all very familiar with and experienced in this area."

"I will place you in the crude oil futures trading team, serving as the leaders of different investment groups, and leading your teams to directly participate in international crude oil futures investment."

"My third objective is that I need you to act as a communication bridge between me and Yuanda Group, as well as Yuanda Investment, and possibly other similar state-owned financial institutions."

"I can't stay hidden behind the scenes forever. It might not be long before my identity and company are exposed. Once that happens, countless people will be watching me."

"To ensure the continuation of my cooperation with Broad Group and to safeguard my investment strategy, I need trustworthy people to act as a bridge to communicate my decisions..."

Following his explanation, Chairman Zhao and the others nodded repeatedly.

Zhou Hua and Zhang Yuntian, in particular, became more and more excited as they listened, their eyes shining brighter and brighter.

After Lingyun finished explaining, they hurriedly patted their chests and assured him.

"Thank you for your trust, Lingyun. Rest assured, we will complete all the tasks you assign and serve as a bridge between you and Yuanda Group!"

"We'll keep a close eye on your newly formed investment team and new company. If we find anything amiss, we'll report it to you immediately!"

"Alright, then let's see how you perform."

Ling Yun nodded with a smile.

The party then continued.

While enjoying a delicious Cantonese meal, everyone enthusiastically discussed cooperation matters and relevant news and trends in the international financial market.

During this time, Lingyun told Chairman Zhao and General Manager Wang.

By early December at the latest, international oil prices will definitely fall below the $40 mark, and may even fall to around $35.

If international oil prices fall below $40, the Yuanda Group's crude oil investment team must liquidate all its short futures positions to lock in profits from short selling.

Then step back and observe from the sidelines for a few days, without trying to grab the last bit of profit from short selling.

Wait until international oil prices drop a few more dollars and market sentiment truly bottoms out before entering the market to go long on international crude oil futures, and then reap another harvest!

Chairman Zhao and his colleagues had no doubts about Ling Yun's investment strategy and were eager to agree with it.

Besides asking questions about national oil prices, Mr. Wang, the general manager of Yuanda Investment, also asked questions with great anticipation.

When will the international financial market bottom out, and when is the right time to buy at the bottom?

When asked about this question, Ling Yun smiled and chose to avoid it, giving only an ambiguous answer.

He told Mr. Wang and the others that the international financial market is still some time away from truly bottoming out and rebounding, and that the bottom will not appear this year!

Therefore, everyone needs to wait patiently.

I will give you a reminder before the international financial market truly bottoms out, so that you won't miss the opportunity to buy at the bottom!

His answer was undoubtedly somewhat disappointing.

But Mr. Wang and his team could only accept it and patiently wait for the opportunity to buy at the bottom and for Lingyun's reminder!

The party ended at 9:30 p.m. amidst laughter and cheerful conversation.

When they left the villa by car, Chairman Zhao and Zhou Hua were both drunk and dazed, but fortunately they could still walk.

Because he had some things to take care of that evening, Ling Yun didn't drink much, and he remained clear-headed throughout.

Seeing the state of Mr. Zhao and his group, for safety reasons, he arranged for security personnel to drive them to the luxury apartments in Lijing Garden instead of the hotel where they were staying.

Anyway, Zhou Hua and the others are moving to Lijing Garden tomorrow, so going there early tonight is no problem.

As for their luggage left at the hotel, they can pick it up at the hotel tomorrow.

After watching Chairman Zhao and his group leave, Ling Yun greeted the butler, Uncle Li, and asked him to arrange for the office staff to come into the restaurant to clean up the mess!

After arranging these things, he went upstairs alone to the master bedroom to wash up and change clothes.

After he finished washing up, changed into a vest and shorts and came downstairs, the area downstairs was quiet again, and the living room and dining room were clean and spotless!

Even in the restaurant air, there wasn't a trace of food smell, only a fresh and pleasant faint fragrance!

Lingyun was very satisfied with the work efficiency of the office staff.

He walked around the dining room and living room, then pushed open the door to the back garden and went straight to the viewing platform.

Then I took out my phone and dialed my mom's number, enjoying the beautiful night view down the mountain while talking to her.

The moment the call connected, his mother warned him.

"Yuanyuan and Jingwen are flying to Hong Kong Island tomorrow. You better watch yourself and don't cause any trouble. They're both pregnant!"

Ling Yun blushed and hurriedly replied:

"Don't worry, Mom, I know what's important. Besides, Leilei and Yanzi are coming too!"
