The Great Sage Returns from Ten Years of Imprisonment

2 PM, small conference room at the headquarters of China Aviation Oil.

Six traders sat upright, each with four high-definition monitors in front of them. Various numbers and charts on the screens kept changing, reflecting their faces.

In front of them were a laptop computer, two internal telephone lines directly connecting to the Hong Kong Island branch, and other office supplies.

General Manager Sun, Director Xie, and Attorney Zhang sat on the sofa in the rest area, their gazes shifting between Lingyun and the monitor from time to time.

at the same time.

Meanwhile, another investment team at China Aviation Oil's branch in Hong Kong is also on high alert.

Despite being thousands of miles apart, the hearts of the members of both investment teams were racing, seemingly on the same wavelength.

As the clock struck two, all eyes turned to Ling Yun.

Looking at Ling Yun, he was leisurely browsing a news article about the Atlantic hurricane season, his fingers unconsciously tapping lightly on the table.

The next moment, a smile suddenly appeared on his lips.

"Everything is ready; it's time to get started."

He raised his head, his gaze quickly sweeping across the entire room.

He then turned to the six traders, his eyes filled with confidence.

"Hurricane Edwards has caused chaos on the western Atlantic coast, and market concerns about its potential impact on oil production in the Gulf of Mexico have led to a slight pullback in international oil prices over the past two days."

As he spoke, he pointed to the international oil price trend chart on the main display screen.

"Considering global economic trends, this presents the best opportunity to short oil. International oil prices are currently at $127.8 per barrel, and I believe the correction has peaked."

"From now on, we'll gradually build our positions, aiming to complete the task before nightfall. By the time it gets light in America, we can almost reap the rewards!"

He looked around, his tone leaving no room for argument.

"Now I'm assigning tasks. You're responsible for relaying these instructions to the Hong Kong Island team, directing them to establish positions according to the trading orders. All instructions must be executed without exception."

The six traders quickly exchanged glances, and although they still had doubts, they all nodded in agreement.

"No problem, give the order."

"Great, I hope we can have a pleasant collaboration."

Ling Yun smiled slightly.

The next second, his expression suddenly turned serious, and he quickly issued the first trading order.

"Notify Trader Number One to buy 1000 lots of short positions in the August contract of New York WTI crude oil futures in small, diversified orders, using 100 times leverage, based on the current price."

"Each transaction cannot exceed 50 lots, the interval between two transactions must be greater than five minutes, and the stop-loss price is set at $129.5..."

"boom!"

Like a bolt from the blue, this trading order instantly caused an uproar throughout the entire venue.

Everyone froze for a moment, then their eyes widened in disbelief.

"100x leverage, 1000 short positions? This is enough to send you to the rooftop!"

One of the traders exclaimed in a low voice.

"1000 lots is equivalent to 1 million barrels of crude oil, worth 900 million RMB. Account number one only had 50 million RMB in principal, and the investment was just around 10 million RMB. This leverage is terrifying!"

"Doesn't that mean that if international oil prices rise by a few points, Account No. 1 will either be forcibly liquidated or immediately wiped out? This kind of trading is more thrilling than bungee jumping!"

Even Mr. Sun, who was used to big events, couldn't help but wipe the cold sweat from his forehead.

He was about to speak up to dissuade him, but Ling Yun interrupted him decisively.

"Don't worry, everyone. I'm absolutely confident in my judgment. If I'm wrong and lose all 300 million, I'll have no regrets!"

His gaze was sharp, and he spoke each word deliberately.

"The instructions are clear: as I just said, my trading instructions must be executed unconditionally, without the slightest deviation!"

Mr. Sun had the words on the tip of his tongue, but ultimately swallowed them back.

When the top trader looked at him and asked for instructions with his eyes, he could only nod emphatically.

"Execute the trading order. Since Lingyun is so confident, what are we hesitating for?"

That's right, anyway, the money belongs to this young master, so why should I care!

Having figured this out, the number one trader immediately responded in a deep voice.

"Received, I will pass on the instructions immediately."

As he spoke, he quickly picked up the landline and began transmitting trading instructions to the number one trader at the Hong Kong Island branch.

Ling Yun nodded in satisfaction and continued to issue instructions.

"Inform trader number two to buy 800 lots of short WTI crude oil futures August contracts in small, diversified orders, using 150 times leverage, based on the current price."

"Each trade cannot exceed 40 lots, the interval between two trades must be at least 8 minutes, the stop-loss price is $129.2,..."

The second trader's eyelids twitched violently, but he still responded immediately.

"Understood, will be carried out immediately."

He quickly dialed the number two trader at the Hong Kong Island branch and relayed the trading instructions.

Not only him, but everyone in the conference room, as well as the investment team in Hong Kong, were all on tenterhooks at that moment.

And this is just the beginning.

Next, Lingyun issued four more trading orders, each more thrilling than the last.

Third instruction: Use 100 times leverage to buy 1200 lots of short positions in the August contract of New York WTI crude oil futures in small, dispersed orders.

Fourth order: Buy 900 lots of short positions in the September contract of New York WTI crude oil futures with 130x leverage.

Fifth instruction: Buy 700 lots of short positions in the September contract of New York WTI crude oil futures using a leverage of 150 times.

Sixth instruction: Buy 1100 lots of short positions in the September contract of New York WTI crude oil futures using 100x leverage.

In the blink of an eye, Lingyun had issued six trading orders, preparing to buy 5700 lots of short WTI crude oil futures.

This means 570 million barrels of crude oil, with a market value of up to 51 billion RMB!

Lingyun's actual investment was less than 50 million yuan. The high leverage and great risk made everyone present feel a chill down their spine.

Just as the last instruction was issued, trader number one completed the first buy order.

The top trader, who was closely monitoring the account, immediately reported excitedly and loudly.

"The first transaction is complete, with a total of 35 short positions in the August contract for New York WTI crude oil futures, at a price of $127.78."

Ling Yun turned to look at him and nodded approvingly.

"Very good, well done!"

He casually opened his No. 1 futures account and checked his holdings.

The result is self-evident; it's clearly shown in the account.

The No. 1 crude oil futures account already holds 35 short positions, corresponding to 35,000 barrels of New York WTI crude oil futures for delivery at the end of August.

Upon seeing this result, Ling Yun smiled gently.

Immediately afterwards, the other five futures accounts completed their first transactions.

As several traders announced their results, the atmosphere in the meeting room became even more heated, with everyone's face flushed with excitement.

After the first wave of transactions ended, an eerie silence suddenly fell over the scene.

Everyone turned to look at Ling Yun, secretly marveling at his extravagant gesture.

Especially the six traders, they looked at him like he was a madman!

Just then, Mr. Sun leaned closer and uttered a few words of reflection.

"Xiao Ling, I've seen your previous trading records. Your trading style is too aggressive, even a bit crazy. It terrifies me!"

"Who would have thought your actions would be even more aggressive this time? If this 300 million yuan came from China Aviation Oil, I might have had a heart attack by now!"

Ling Yun turned to look at him and explained casually.

"There are three reasons why I adopted such an aggressive trading strategy. First, this 300 million yuan is my own money, and I am not worried about causing losses to others."

"Secondly, this trial investment has a limited timeframe, so I must generate the highest possible return on investment in the shortest possible time to make it more convincing."

"Third, and most importantly, I have complete confidence in my analysis and judgment, which is why I dared to place such a large bet, hoping to make a fortune from this opportunity..."

After hearing this, Mr. Sun could only give a thumbs up.

"You're really something, kid. I'm impressed!"

As they were talking, the second wave of transactions had already begun.

The Hong Kong Island investment team struck again, continuing to buy short positions in New York WTI crude oil futures for August and September in small, dispersed orders, quietly and gradually increasing their positions.

This accumulation of shares continued for the next few hours.

Lingyun's short position in New York WTI crude oil futures grew like a snowball, but it went unnoticed by the market, quietly and imperceptibly.

Meanwhile, on the Atlantic Ocean.

Hurricane Edwards, which is currently ravaging the west coast of the Atlantic, is experiencing changes in its eye, seemingly due to significant disturbances, and is quietly altering its sweeping path!
