Gale Capital.
Andy Cherop looked at Kyle and said solemnly, "Boss, it's almost an hour. We've already taken the first wave of dividends. I suggest we immediately abandon high-leverage operations and switch to low-leverage operations of 2-3 times."
Ms. Claire, the chief data analyst, quickly followed up, "I also agree. As the event has progressed, the American federal government and military have all made appearances and statements. In this situation, the Japanese cabinet government will definitely take swift countermeasures to curb the predatory actions of investment banks like us."
In a word: we were too reckless just now; it's time to rein it in, or the risk will be too great.
"Haha!"
Kyle shook his head at this moment.
"I think we can still maintain high-leverage operations for another half an hour!" Kyle said firmly.
As soon as his words fell,
Andy and Claire's expressions both changed.
The risk was too great; after all, the Japanese cabinet government was not to be trifled with.
Kyle spread his hands and laughed, "Where is Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori now?"
"Uh..."
Andy and Claire were both stunned.
Yes, where was he?
He should have appeared long ago!
In fact, this was the benefit of being a transmigrator.
Others didn't know, but as a transmigrator, Kyle was very clear.
In the original timeline, when the "Ehime Maru" incident occurred, Yoshiro Mori was playing golf and only appeared an hour and a half after receiving the news.
The most crucial thing was that he was photographed playing golf, and the photos were leaked.
This was truly exasperating.
His poor performance caused his approval rating to plummet.
Even if Yoshiro Mori later gave a "reasonable" explanation,
But the front pages of major media outlets featured large photos of Yoshiro Mori playing golf, which aroused public anger and led to the Japanese cabinet's approval rating falling to an unprecedented single digit of 5.7%. Yukio Hatoyama, the leader of the opposition Democratic Party, mocked, "The approval rating of the Mori cabinet is comparable to Japan's consumption tax rate (5%)."
Two months later, Yoshiro Mori was forced to resign.
From 1993 to 2000, Japan had changed prime ministers 5 times. At that time, a popular saying in Japan was: "Singers are popular for one year, prime ministers serve for two."
In contrast, Yoshiro Mori's tenure as prime minister lasted just over a year, to be precise, a little over a year and ten days... Bear Stearns, Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, Morgan Stanley... The speed of reaction of these large Wall Street investment banks was truly not comparable to that of ordinary companies. While other investment banks were urgently allocating more funds into the Japanese financial market, these large companies had already quickly allocated at least 1 billion US dollars within a short hour.
The most was still Goldman Sachs!
"The investment banks that took the most of the first wave of dividends, apart from those local Japanese 'leading parties,' are probably just our Goldman Sachs and Kyle Page's Gale Capital!"
"In one hour, we used 1.5 billion US dollars and made a profit of 400 million US dollars."
"We can fully imagine how many 400 million US dollars we can earn in a single day today!"
The speaker's name was Wall Dallen. He was one of the bigwigs at Goldman Sachs Investment Bank, having served at top investment banks such as Bear Stearns and Lehman Brothers. He held multiple Ph.D.s in finance and had been a prominent figure in the financial world for decades, truly a force to be reckoned with.
At the same time, Kyle also had a good relationship with Wall Dallen.
Wall Dallen was responsible for the listing of Kyle's Waterworld Animation Company.
"Dallen, you're still shrewd," a bigwig from Goldman Sachs Investment Bank sighed.
Upon hearing this, Dallen waved his hand and smiled, "It was also a coincidence. Kyle Page allocated 2 billion US dollars into the Japanese market, and I, with a try-it-and-see attitude, also followed with some funds. I really didn't expect such a big surprise."
Unexpected gain!
That's right, Goldman Sachs Investment Bank being able to get ahead of other investment banks at this critical juncture was indeed an unexpected gain.
"Dallen, do you think Kyle Page's actions were truly accidental?" the Goldman Sachs investment bank executive asked with a serious expression.
"Haha!"
Dallen shrugged and said playfully, "Who cares? The final result is only one: we made money, and Kyle made money. As for whether it was an accident, does it matter?"
Does it matter?
It really doesn't matter.
The "Ehime Maru" incident was a sudden political accident and absolutely could not have been the result of human manipulation. Furthermore, at the time of the incident, Kyle was playing golf with Little Edward Rosky, and everything was so traceable and reasonable.
In a word, this money was clean!
Kyle was not afraid of investigations by any country or any organization!
"I made so many preparations before, announcing the 'Harry Potter' theme park and publicly disclosing the 2 billion US dollars in fund flows, wasn't it all to make this matter seem reasonable?"
Kyle also went to great lengths...
Half an hour later.
Japanese Prime Minister Yoshiro Mori finally appeared, arriving late.
The press conference began!
"Andy, Claire, immediately stop high-leverage operations and use normal operations," Kyle said with a wave of his hand.
"Yes, boss," everyone nodded in agreement and quickly carried out Kyle's orders.
At this moment, everyone's faces were filled with excited smiles. There was no other way; Gale Capital had made a fortune today.
From the outbreak of the incident until now, only an hour and a half, or 90 minutes, had passed. In this short period, Gale Capital used 2 billion US dollars to frequently attack the Japanese stock, foreign exchange, and futures markets, and with high-leverage operations, earning a staggering 1.1 billion US dollars!
1.1 billion US dollars!
This was the result of just over 90 minutes of action!
Without a doubt, the profits from these 90 minutes of operations alone made Gale Capital the top-earning investment bank globally, surpassing even the five major Wall Street investment banks.
Time passed minute by minute~
Even though Gale Capital canceled its high-leverage operations, the profits were not as large or as astonishing as before, but they were still very substantial.
"The rate of profit has decreased, but our risk has also decreased."
"Steady~"
"Mori has appeared, and the Japanese cabinet has also issued countermeasures. The Japanese government, with hundreds of billions of dollars in foreign exchange, is not to be trifled with."
"No matter what, we've made a huge profit today!"
...In the following time, there were huge fluctuations in the Japanese futures, stock, and foreign exchange markets.
Investment institutions and international buyers from various countries and regions engaged in fierce battles, desperately extracting wealth from the Japanese economy.
By noon, under the operation of President Andy Cherop, Gale Capital made multiple aggressive moves, gaining another 120 million US dollars in wealth.
During this period, Goldman Sachs Investment Bank's gains had already reached 1 billion US dollars, almost surpassing Gale Capital.
"It's alright."
Kyle waved his hand and smiled, "Goldman Sachs's funds entering the market are probably already over 6 billion US dollars now. They can earn so much money because of their real ability."
Compared to Goldman Sachs, large investment banks like Bear Stearns, Merrill Lynch, and Morgan Stanley had much smaller gains.
After all, they missed the first wave of dividends!
Gale Capital and Goldman Sachs, having seized the initiative, held too many advantages... By evening, all of Gale Capital's funds had withdrawn from Japan.
This financial event, which evolved from a political incident that came quickly, suddenly, and also ended quickly, brought Gale Capital a total profit of 1.3 billion US dollars in just one day.
Shocking!
This was the exclamation of countless peers!
Gale Capital's earnings for just this one day exceeded the annual earnings of many small and medium-sized Wall Street investment banks.
