When it comes to buying physical gold, Kyle does not intend to invest all of it in one basket. You know, Kyle still has $440 million in funds in overseas accounts.
With the development of the times, countries in Europe, Asia and other regions have risen one after another, which will inevitably lead to further weakening of the US dollar, and its continued depreciation is almost irreversible.
Therefore, buying gold to preserve value is a major trend!
Swiss Bank.
"Thank you Mr. Page for choosing our bank. We promise to ensure the safety of Mr. Page's funds." Andreev said solemnly.
Andreev Milvorskid is the Vice President of the Swiss Bank Corporation.
At the same time, he is also the former senior adviser to the Swiss Ministry of Finance, a senior member of the World Finance Council, honorary president of the University of Tokdel in Switzerland, and a visiting professor of finance at many world-renowned schools such as the University of London, the University of Cambridge, and the University of Munich. He is a big figure in the global banking industry.
"You're welcome."
Kyle smiled and said, "I really didn't expect that you would be the one serving me personally. After all, my capital is only $440 million, which is far less than the big capitalists."
Andreev smiled mysteriously. "Mr. Page, you're being modest. I know your company's gains from the Asian financial crisis. Well, they're not much worse than those of the established investment banks."
Kyle smiled and didn't respond.
Oh shit!
He is indeed a cunning old fox.
Kyle thought about it and understood. While others might not be aware of Gale Capital's gains from the Asian financial crisis, Andreev, as Vice President of UBS, had his own information channels. He could get insider information about Kyle's Gale Capital, or even about the Big Five Wall Street investment banks, if he wanted to.
"gold!"
Kyle said solemnly, "That's right. Please use all of my 440 million yuan deposit to purchase physical gold. Deposit? Of course, I'll deposit it with your bank. After all, your bank's reputation is second to none in the world."
If all $440 million is used to purchase physical gold, it will definitely be a loss in the short term.
After all, the dot-com bubble hadn't happened yet, and the international gold price was bound to fall in just two years. Currently, the international gold price is around $310 per ounce, and hasn't fallen to its lowest point of $251 per ounce.
"If it goes down, it goes down. It won't go down much anyway. From a long-term perspective, it's still a big profit."
Physical gold cannot be purchased at the lowest point. After all, if you want to buy it at that time, you may not be able to buy it, and it will take a long time.
Similarly, it will take a long time for California Standard Bank to use its $380 million to purchase physical gold.
Of course, Kyle is not in a hurry, as long as it can be completed within two years!
If the floating gold price is between $251 and $310 per ounce, then Kyle's $820 million can buy roughly 80 tons of gold!
How can such a large amount of gold be purchased without the involvement of Swiss banks?
Even if the time span is 2 years.
You don't know until you calculate it. After calculating it, even Kyle was shocked!
Wow, 80 tons of gold!
It's so scary!

Wall Street, Gale Capital Investment Company.
"Boss, after you withdrew $1.44 billion in funds, the company currently has $52 million in funds in its account."
Henry Jugenburg read the report with a growing sense of unease. He had realised his boss's heart wasn't in financial investment, and he feared Kyle would withdraw the company's meagre $52 million in funds once again.
"hehe!"
Kyle smiled and patted Henry's shoulder.
"Don't worry," he said, "I won't use this money for anything else. I'll leave it entirely to you to manage. There's still profit to be made in the foreign exchange markets of South Korea, Japan, and Southeast Asian countries. It's not much, but I believe you'll achieve even greater success."
Hearing this, Henry was relieved.
As long as Kyle no longer withdraws funds, he will feel relieved.
After all, once Kyle withdraws all the funds, Gale Capital will become an empty shell. This is undoubtedly an extremely uncomfortable thing for those who are immersed in capital management!
Is there still profit in the Asian foreign exchange market?
Of course!
You should know that in the original time and space history, the Asian financial crisis lasted for more than a year. After 1998, the five major investment banks on Wall Street and several international speculators would continue to plunder the foreign exchange markets of various Asian countries.
Especially the Indonesian rupiah, which was beaten to pieces!
Although the next capital game is almost untraceable, Kyle is still optimistic about Henry and other members of the Gale Capital team.
We look forward to them using this $52 million in funding to achieve another huge victory!

December 7th.
Page Films.
Kevin Feige, vice president of Worldwide Pictures, gave Kyle a report on the acquisition of comic book copyrights.
$200,000 to acquire the rights to "Iron Man" from New Line Cinema;
$350,000 to acquire the rights to Ghost Rider from Crystal Sky Pictures;
Another $3.2 million was spent to acquire the copyrights of a series of superheroes including "Black Widow", "Aquaman", "Hawkeye", "Captain Marvel", and "Daredevil" from major Hollywood film and television companies;
Among them, the highest price was to acquire the copyright of "The Hulk" from Universal Pictures, which cost a total of 5.9 million US dollars.
"Boss, the Hulk is a top superhero in Marvel Comics, and his popularity is second only to Spider-Man Peter Parker," Kevin Feige explained.
Kyle nodded and smiled, "I understand. And it's really not easy for you to get the rights to The Hulk from Universal Pictures. After all, they are one of the Big Six in Hollywood!"
In the original time and space history, after the Hulk was sold to Universal, there was "The Hulk" shot by Ang Lee in 2003.
Although Marvel Studios has regained the rights to film the Hulk in the future, Universal Pictures is still holding on to its distribution rights. In other words, as long as the Hulk releases a solo film, Universal will have the rights to distribute the physical film, negotiate with theatres, determine the release date, and even own the film format.
Marvel naturally doesn't want to make things difficult for others, which is the main reason why the Hulk has appeared countless times in the Marvel Universe film series but has never had a solo movie.
As for Iron Man?
You said its copyright price is so low?
Only $200,000!
Iron Man is a third-tier hero among Marvel superheroes, or even a fourth-tier or fifth-tier hero. Before the release of the "Iron Man" movie, his popularity could not be compared with that of Spider-Man and the Hulk.
Moreover, the copyright ownership of Iron Man is also extremely interesting.
In 1990, Universal acquired the rights to the characters of Iron Man, the Hulk, and Namor. In 1996, 20th Century Fox acquired the rights to Iron Man from Universal. In 1997, the rights to Iron Man were transferred from Fox to New Line Cinema.
Unfortunately, all three companies once owned the copyright to the Iron Man character, but they did not take it seriously. In the end, the copyright to Iron Man was finally taken back by Marvel in 2006, and they adapted and filmed "Iron Man", which helped Marvel reach the peak of its life.
"Boss, do you think we can take over the entire Marvel company?"
At this time Kevin Feige suddenly said.
You know, he's a big fan of Marvel Comics.
In fact, Kyle wanted to too!
But Kyle, who was well-versed in history, was even more aware of the dirty tricks between Marvel's major shareholders. Those guys would not let go until they were at their wits' end. They would even rather drag Marvel to hell than sell their shares in the company.
"Huh?"
Suddenly, Kyle thought of the possibility of acquiring Marvel in its entirety.
Isn't your Marvel company going through bankruptcy reorganisation and extremely short of funds?
That's good!
You have no money, but I have money!
Kyle can easily lend money to Marvel in the name of California Standard Bank. The collateral is of course Marvel's superhero copyrights, or even Marvel's shares!
"As long as your loan is blocked, then if you can't repay it by the due date, it's completely legal and reasonable to take over the entire Marvel company."
