The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

Mr. Sun's face darkened rapidly, his fists clenched so tightly that his knuckles turned white, and he practically forced out a sentence through gritted teeth.

"Xiao Ling, what you said is very interesting. Why don't you elaborate?"

As soon as he finished speaking, the conference room fell into a deathly silence, and even the hum of the air conditioner vents could be clearly heard.

Everyone can see clearly that Mr. Sun has really been hit where it hurts this time.

Secretary Zhou sighed inwardly, his face full of exasperation.

What happened to not being reckless? This is practically like dancing in a minefield with a spiked club!

Seeing the awkward atmosphere, Mr. Kong was about to step in and smooth things over.

However, Ling Yun beat him to it.

He met Mr. Sun's almost fiery gaze with a sincere tone.

"Mr. Sun, please calm down. I was just stating the facts, not talking about you personally. There's a specific reason for this."

"China Aviation Oil's situation is indeed special. Your main business is aviation fuel, while other airlines' main business is air transportation, with only passenger and cargo transport as distinctions."

He paused briefly, his gaze sweeping across the entire room, before gently dropping a bombshell.

"More importantly, China Aviation Oil's international procurement of aviation fuel is mostly conducted through its branches in Hong Kong and Singapore."

"In particular, the Singapore branch fell into a series of traps meticulously designed by Goldman Sachs when it shorted crude oil futures in 04, resulting in a huge loss of four to five billion yuan for China Aviation Oil..."

"hiss--!"

A collective gasp filled the conference room; everyone was startled once again.

This is more than just a slap in the face; it's like stabbing China Aviation Oil in its most vulnerable wound and rubbing salt into it!

The crushing defeat in 04 was a major setback for China Aviation Oil and is a taboo topic within the company.

With their wounds exposed in front of them, Mr. Sun and his colleagues looked so ugly they were practically frozen.

"Is this what you call addressing the issue, not the person? To me, it looks like you're specifically targeting China Aviation Oil?"

Mr. Sun was furious and was about to explode.

"Please don't worry, let me explain."

Ling Yun raised his hand to interrupt, his speech suddenly quickening.

"Whether you believe it or not, Mr. Sun, as long as you accept my proposal, I am absolutely confident that I can help China Aviation Oil recover this debt with interest."

"Goldman Sachs, Mitsui, Barclays, and Standard Bank of London—these financial institutions that colluded to swindle China Aviation Oil—none of them will escape unscathed."

Before he could finish speaking, the meeting room erupted in chaos.

"Splash—"

Everyone pushed back their chairs and stood up in unison, looking at Ling Yun as if he were an alien.

Mr. Sun and the investment director of China Aviation Oil were so excited that they almost stumbled and performed a "wild goose landing on the sand" move on the spot.

A gentleman doesn't leave a grudge unavenged!

China Aviation Oil dreams of getting revenge on Goldman Sachs, Mitsui Banking Corporation of Japan, Barclays Bank of the UK, and Standard Bank of London.

Unfortunately, I had the will but not the ability!

In the international financial market, China Aviation Oil's investment department is not even as good as a primary school student. How can it compete with top financial institutions such as Goldman Sachs?

Rushing in to seek revenge would be nothing short of suicide.

Now that someone says they can help China Aviation Oil avenge its humiliation, how could President Sun and his team not be excited?

"What did you say? Did I hear that right?"

Mr. Sun's voice trembled, as if he had heard a fairy tale.

"For a futures trader who's not even thirty yet to challenge four of the world's top financial institutions, even if China Aviation Oil backs you, it's like a mantis trying to stop a chariot..."

"brush!"

All eyes were fixed on Ling Yun, and everyone held their breath.

Everyone wants to see if he's just talking big and making outrageous statements, or if he can actually deliver on this amazing claim!

"Just take advantage of this once-in-a-lifetime opportunity."

Ling Yun calmly replied, composed and unhurried, yet his tone was resolute.

"The subprime crisis is escalating, and a global financial crisis is imminent. These once-arrogant financial giants are actually deeply mired in crisis, facing constant internal and external troubles. It's the perfect opportunity to strike while they're already weakened."

He abruptly changed the subject, getting straight to the point.

"For example, Mitsui Bank in Japan was forced by the Federal Reserve and Wall Street to absorb trillions of yen in junk bonds. My preliminary estimate is that their losses this year will not be less than 300 billion yen."

"Once the global financial crisis breaks out, Mitsui Bank's stock price will definitely plummet. Coincidentally, Mitsui Bank is actively planning to list on the New York Stock Exchange, and Goldman Sachs is behind this."

"If we seize this opportunity to secretly sabotage Mitsui Bank's IPO plans, it would be killing two birds with one stone, and would definitely make Mitsui Bank and Goldman Sachs spit blood..."

Ling Yun began to speak slowly and deliberately, while the others all fell into a daze.

When everyone heard that the plan to smuggle Mitsui Bank's IPO in the US had been ruined, they were all shocked and shuddered.

The next moment, the investment director of China Southern Airlines couldn't help but mutter a complaint under his breath.

"Good heavens, what grudge could they possibly hold? Are they determined to dig up someone's ancestral grave?"

Director Xu of China Eastern Airlines nodded in agreement.

"This kid must have a blood feud with Goldman Sachs. With methods like this, even the Wolf of Wall Street would kneel down in his presence."

"If he really ruins Mitsui Bank's plans to list in the US, the people at Mitsui Group and Goldman Sachs will hate him to death, they'd want to tear him apart!"

At this point, the investment director of Shanghai Airlines also came over.

"I've never seen such ruthlessness in a kid before. Compared to him, all those guys in the investment departments of our airlines are complete idiots!"

At this moment, both General Manager Sun and the Investment Director of China Aviation Oil had their eyes shining.

From Ling Yun's incisive analysis, they truly saw the dawn of revenge.

As soon as Ling Yun finished speaking, President Sun immediately moved forward.

"It seems I really misunderstood you, Xiaoling. Your analysis was brilliant and incredibly exciting to listen to."

His attitude completely reversed, and he rubbed his hands together excitedly.

"Although I don't understand a lot of the financial jargon, I sense your determination to destroy Goldman Sachs! For that reason alone, we're comrades in arms!"

"Hahaha"

Everyone burst into laughter, thoroughly enjoying themselves.

As the laughter subsided, the investment director of China Aviation Oil quickly followed up with more questions out of curiosity.

"Xiao Ling, you specifically mentioned our China Aviation Oil's Hong Kong Island and Singapore branches just now. Is there a deeper meaning behind that? Please elaborate."

"Good question."

Ling Yun smiled slightly, his eyes suddenly sharpening.

"These two companies are key. We will definitely need to use these two platforms in this operation, especially the Singapore branch."

"Singapore is the world's third-largest oil refining center and one of the most important oil trading hubs. Whether you're bullish or bearish, you can't ignore it."

"In the event of extreme circumstances requiring physical delivery, the Singapore branch will become crucial, as it would mitigate the risk of being shorted!"

As he spoke, he looked directly at President Sun.

"The two foreign traders who led China Aviation Oil into trouble in 04 were later confirmed to be employees of Goldman Sachs. This is a bloody lesson from the past."

"At the time, Goldman Sachs used these two industrial spies to constantly persuade its Singapore branch to roll over its positions and increase its short positions, which resulted in a huge loss of four to five billion dollars."

"Currently, there are still many foreign traders at China Aviation Oil's Singapore and Hong Kong branches. I'm sure there are quite a few industrial spies among them."

"That's why I demand absolute control. My investment decisions must be executed resolutely, without any dissent. When dealing with Goldman Sachs, one wrong move can lead to total defeat."

Mr. Sun and the investment director of China Aviation Oil turned pale and then flushed, their mouths twitching uncontrollably.

What this kid said makes perfect sense, but his constant rubbing salt into the wound is really embarrassing. He's such a jerk!

"puff--!"

I don't know who couldn't help but burst out laughing first.

As a result, the laughter seemed to be contagious, instantly infecting everyone and causing waves of laughter to erupt.

Even General Manager Sun blushed slightly, then burst into laughter.
