The Japanese financial market on this day, February 10th, can be described as full of ups and downs, brimming with both opportunities and risks.
There were many who made big money;
Those who suffered massive losses were not few either;
At 9:00 PM that evening, Bloomberg News, the world's most famous financial media and service provider, and its subsidiary Bloomberg TV, launched a special live program specifically for today's events.
Host: Michael Bloomberg.
He is the boss of Bloomberg News and a well-known tycoon in the financial field, worth billions. In 2020, he ranked 17th on the global billionaire list with a personal net worth of $48 billion; at the same time, from 2002 to 2014, he served three consecutive terms as the Mayor of New York City!
Of course, even now in 2001, he is one of the most famous financial experts in America.
As soon as the program aired, it attracted the attention of many investment institutions and countless investors.
"Good evening to all the viewers in front of their televisions. I am Michael Bloomberg."
"As everyone knows, it is now February 10, 2001. In a dozen or so days, I will step down from the position of CEO of Bloomberg News to focus on running for Mayor of New York City. Therefore... this may be the last time I talk about financial and economic news with everyone as the CEO of Bloomberg News."
Hearing these words from Michael Bloomberg, many people in front of their TVs couldn't help but sigh with emotion.
After all, Michael Bloomberg is a person with extraordinary vision.
A few days before the Dot-com Bubble officially burst in early 2000, Michael Bloomberg had more than once publicly warned many investment institutions and shareholders to invest cautiously, pay attention to trade-offs, and avoid risks, allowing many people to successfully escape that stock market crash.
"He should be talking about today's Japanese financial events." Kyle was also watching the program now.
Sure enough...
"First, I want to tell everyone that the biggest winner of today's Japanese financial events is definitely not the well-known Five Major Wall Street Investment Banks like Goldman Sachs, Bear Stearns, and Merrill Lynch!"
"Nor is it Gale Capital, which made a stunning $1.3 billion!"
"The biggest winner in the Japanese market today,"
"is precisely the local Japanese investment banks. Led by hundreds of local Japanese investment banks such as Mitsubishi, Mitsui, Sumitomo, Fuji, and Sanwa, they extracted billions of dollars in Japanese financial wealth today, causing losses to the Japanese financial market as high as $90 billion."
The voice fell.
Many American investors couldn't help but gasp.
This is truly profiting from a national disaster!
Especially these large Japanese conglomerates; they simply have no bottom line at all.
"But!"
"The main character I want to talk about today is not these Japanese collaborators, nor the Five Major Wall Street Investment Banks, but Gale Capital, which has emerged in recent years!"
"And... its boss—Kyle Page!"
As soon as these words were spoken, many investment bank executives in front of their TVs perked up their ears.
There was no helping it; that was Kyle Page!
The youngest and most famous multi-billionaire in America!
From Bear Stearns: "Not surprising!"
From Merrill Lynch: "Exactly. Having experienced the Asian financial crisis, the Dot-com Bubble in early 2000, and today's financial events, Gale Capital Company has completely established a firm foothold on Wall Street."
From Lehman Brothers: "Regarding the various investment banks newly opened on Wall Street in recent years, his, Kyle Page's Gale Capital, is incredibly stunning in terms of profit, growth rate, and expansion of company scale."
Goldman Sachs: "Setting everything else aside, they made a killing this year."
...In this live program on Bloomberg TV, Michael Bloomberg cited one powerful example after another regarding today's financial market and Kyle's performance, making many whose eyes were red with envy sigh: young and promising!
In fact, it was true.
Taking $1.3 billion in a single day!
This hasn't never happened in financial history, and there are even more exaggerated cases, but it is indeed rare!
In 1992, the financial tycoon Soros of the Quantum Fund spent half a year positioning in the British foreign exchange market. Utilizing a massive volume of capital, he repeatedly attacked the pound in just half a month, profiting over 1 billion pounds.
Extremely amazing!
Or rather, it shocked the world.
But... as far as today is concerned, the performance of Kyle and Gale Capital is much more dazzling than Soros's shorting of the pound.
In the final stage of the program, Michael Bloomberg bestowed a new title upon Kyle.
—financial little superman.
That is to say, from today onwards, on Kyle's head, in addition to titles like "genius director", "Gold Medal Screenwriter", "Gold Medal Producer", "little emperor of television", "more money than brains", and so on, there was another title: "financial superman"...
The next day.
The New York Times, Time Magazine, The Washington Post, Boston Post... all the famous media publications in America reported on Gale Capital's harvest with huge coverage, and the name of the main character, Kyle Page, was mentioned no less than a thousand times.
[financial superman—Kyle!]
[Taking $1.3 Billion in a Day!]
All kinds of praising reports made Kyle a hot topic again.
At the same time, Kyle's die-hard lackeys, Los Angeles Entertainment News and California Entertainment News, used the most hyperbolic words of praise in their reports—well, strictly speaking, flattery—praising Kyle to the high heavens.
"Hehe!"
After reading the reports from Los Angeles Entertainment News and California Entertainment News, Kyle couldn't help but say smugly, "They're exaggerating too much, I'm still young. However, the title of financial little superman is indeed quite good!"
That's right, Kyle was very proud now.
Taking $1.3 billion in a single day is indeed a harvest that would make anyone unable to remain calm!
After removing the returns for investors, bonuses for Gale Capital employees, and performance pay for executives, according to Kyle's shareholding ratio in Gale Capital, of the $1.3 billion earned yesterday, Kyle alone could get at least $500 million.
A proper big harvest~
Ding ding ding!
Just then, Little Edward Roski called.
"Kyle, congratulations, congratulations!"
"I've heard the news; no, strictly speaking, from the evening news yesterday until today, all the major financial newspapers in America are saying you made a Fortune. Goodfellas, $1.3 billion in a day!"
In his words, Little Edward Roski was full of shock.
Currently, the entire market value of Roski Real Estate is only $1.38 billion!
"The money Gale Capital earned in one day could completely buy out my company," Roski said wistfully.
After a brief conversation, Kyle understood Roski's purpose.
His flattery of Kyle was secondary; the main purpose was to connect with his friend Little John Menard, the largest real estate developer in Wisconsin and the owner of Menards Home Improvement, the largest personal home improvement chain brand in America.
"Okay, tell Mr. Mennard that I'll meet with him soon. He has to go all out on the design for my manor; I'm not short on money!" Kyle said grandly.
Little Edward Roski: "..."
So envious, I really want to hit someone!
