Chapter 129: Future information given by the system
After Zhuke crossed over, like many of the predecessors of the crosser, he has personal golden fingers, which is the so-called system.
Well, even though my own system often pretends to be dead, half-dead, relatively low-end one.
But it is undeniable that Zhu Ke’s first pot of gold was the news of the Netscape company’s listing given by the system. Otherwise, even if Zhu Ke could succeed, it would not be possible for Zhu Ke to have what it is today. 700 million dollars in net worth.
"Thinking about it this way, the system is still pretty awesome."
The future information provided by the system is mostly information from European and American countries, and this is precisely what ordinary people lack in the Great Heavenly Dynasty.
Yes, Zhuke is a traverser.
Know some giant companies in Western countries and major historical events.
However, Zhuke, who was born as an orphan in his previous life, is busy all day long with some exceptions. Where can I worry about this?
[Host, do you want to check the information? 】
"Check!"
Following Zhuke's order, the less intelligent system immediately responded.
The message is below:
1. Random House, as one of the largest English-language commercial publishing groups in the world, will be acquired by Bertelsmann Group from Germany in May 1998, acquiring 76% of the shares, valued at US$5.9 billion;
2. Under Armour Sporting Goods Company, founded by former Maryland football star Kevin Plank, is currently in poor operating conditions and urgently needs capital investment;
"Fuck!"
Okay, please forgive Zhu Ke for exploding at this moment.
Although Zhuke is now a billionaire, he is still a small **** in his bones. It is not a matter of course to explode foul language.
Actually, Zhu Ke has all the desire to die!
"How can I not know that Random House is so famous? But I can't afford Random House, which has a market value of nearly ten billion U.S. dollars!"
That’s right, Zhu Ke is very greedy for Random House. After all, as the world’s leading English-language commercial publishing house, the Penguin Publishing Group is comparable to it, not to mention that in the future the two giant companies will merge into one and become a global publishing house. The overlord of the industry!
At the same time, in the news given by the system, Zhu Ke also saw some insider annual profit reports of Random House.
In fiscal year 2000, Random House had sales of US$2.55 billion and a profit of US$250 million.
Furthermore, the profitability rate will increase at a minimum of 12% every year thereafter.
Even though the profit and market value of Random House, including its growth rate, are far less than the development and profitability of Internet companies, it wins in stability!
Random House, which has a history of nearly a hundred years, can be passed on forever as the heritage capital of the family, just like those wine estates in France.
This is very rare.
"Well, I can't afford it!"
Zhuke complained about the system, resisted the discomfort in his heart, and said: "I can't afford it now, but it doesn't mean I can't afford it in the future. I slipped away."
Under Armour?
Under Armour Sporting Goods Company?
Zhu Ke, who used to watch the NBA in his last life, certainly knows that there is such a sporting goods company in the United States. The biggest star he has signed is impressively NBA star Stephen Curry, known as "Curritian"; of course, there are also other stars signed, such as Brandon Jennings, Kemba Walker, and Raymond. De Felton et al.
In the data given by the system, Zhu Ke quietly saw some of its future development trajectory.
Yes, it is indeed not as strong as Adidas and Nike in the sports market.
The market value of is also far inferior to the two giants Adidas and Nike, but the market value of US$4.3 billion in 2020 is still a very delicious cake.
The fragrant kind!
"Entertainment media groups, in addition to film, television, animation, music, and peripheral commodity chain stores, often must have related industries such as sports and books. After all, they themselves are also a member of the pan-entertainment category."
"If I can buy shares, or even directly acquire Under Armour, then I will definitely be able to make up for the shortcomings of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group in the sports market."
For a time, Zhuke thought a lot.
It is completely feasible to acquire or invest in Under Armour!
Are you short of money, I have it!
The most important thing is that the market value of Under Armour Sports is really not high now. Is it early for it to be listed on the US stock market?
If the acquisition is successful, then Zhuke can make the most of the advantage of the crossover, including those newcomers who have not yet entered the NBA in one fell swoop, or signing future little monsters who have not yet entered the NBA, such as LeBron James, Even Dayao.
I don’t want to know, I was completely shocked when I thought about it!
Zhu Ke suddenly found out: "Sports goods are totally messed up!"
Do it if you think of it!
Zuke has self-knowledge and understands his own disadvantages, but there is still a little bit of excellence, that is, he can calculate and work hard.
At the moment, he immediately contacted Zhang Wei, a private lawyer, and once again entrusted him to investigate the company to learn more about the Under Armour Sporting Goods Company.
"Lawyer Zhang, I'll leave the matter to you. Oh, do you mean the time? Naturally, the sooner the better, so that's it. After the matter is over, I will cover all the money for your trip to Hawaii."
Zhuke hung up the phone with a smile.
......
After hanging up the phone, Zhuke, who was alone in the villa, became a little commotion.
"At this time, shouldn't you come to celebrate and celebrate?"
Immediately, Zhuke simply cleaned up, and drove to find Jessica Chastain.
this night~
There are no many roads to Pengshan, and the blue bird is attentive to look around.
this night~
The flower path has never been swept away by the fate, and the gate is now open for the king.
...
The next day.
Zhuke, who slept until he got up at noon, accompanies Jessica Chastain to finish the meal, and then heads to Silicon Valley according to the scheduled itinerary.
Today, ICQ, located in Silicon Valley, will hold a board of directors. In addition to the management headed by Wesgow reporting to the board of the recent work results, the most important thing is to hold a seminar on the issue of US stock listings.
Is it going to be listed in the near future, or is it planning to go public in a year or two?
This is a problem, worthy of consideration by all board shareholders!
At this meeting, the company's CEO Weisge and Microsoft's shareholder representatives had a fierce dispute.
The representative of Microsoft said: "I don't agree with planning to go public in the near future!"
"Ha ha!"
CEO Weisge sneered: "Of course you Microsoft don't want icq to go public so soon. After all, the tragic situation of Netscape, a lesson learned from the past, is right in front of you!"
"You...what do you mean by this? Don't forget that Microsoft is also a shareholder of icq. Will we let ourselves suffer losses? Wisger~www.wuxiaspot.com~ You have to understand, icq The company is still in an unprofitable state, and if it goes public hastily, its market value will definitely be lower than our expectations."
The sonorous and powerful words of the Microsoft representative immediately caused everyone in the conference room to fall into a state of whispering discussions.
Goldman Sachs, News Corporation, Sequoia Capital and other representatives began to whisper.
"Humph!"
CEO Weisge coldly snorted: "Lauth, let me be more blunt, aren't you Microsoft already developing instant messaging software? Netscape's browser was used by you to force pre-installation of the IE browser. I was defeated, and I am now in a state of lingering and half-dead."
"Then can I say that your Microsoft instant messaging software also intends to use rogue means to fight ICQ?!"
The voice fell, and the entire conference room exploded in an instant!
The representatives of multiple investment institutions present are all **** human beings.
Until now, where they still don’t know about Microsoft’s careful thoughts, co-author you are planning to play alone without us!
In an instant, representatives of Goldman Sachs, News Corp., Sequoia Capital, etc. could not sit still.
A representative of Goldman Sachs said loudly: "It must be listed in the near future."
The representative of Sequoia Capital agreed: "I agree, I will report the news to the board of Sequoia Capital as soon as possible, and I will convince them."
Once Icq is listed, it will inevitably be able to obtain sufficient development funds and develop and grow in the shortest possible time. Even if Microsoft uses rogue methods again, ICQ will not have no room for counterattack.
As for Zhuke?
Hehe~
Of course I agree!
The first update of "" is here!
