Chapter 129 Future information given by the system
After Zhuke traveled over, he also had his personal golden fingers, which is the so-called system, just like many time travelers predecessors.
Well, even if my system is often pretending to be dead, half-dead, the lower-end one.
But it is undeniable that Zhuke's first pot of gold was the news of the listing of Netscape Company given by the system. Otherwise, even if Zhuke could succeed, he would not have had a net worth of US$7.8 billion in just over two years.
"When thinking about it this way, the system is quite powerful."
The future information provided by the system is mostly information from European and American countries, and this is exactly what ordinary people in the Great Heavenly Kingdom lack.
Yes, Zhuke is a time traveler.
Know some giant companies in Western countries, and historical events.
However, Zhu Ke, who was an orphan in his previous life, was busy all day long for life, so how could he have the time to worry about these things?
[Host, do you view the information?]
"Check!"
With Zhuke's order, the less intelligent system responded immediately.
The information is as follows:
1. Random House, as one of the world's largest commercial English publishing groups, will be acquired by Bertelsmann Group from Germany in May 1998, with a 76% stake worth US$5.9 billion;
2. Under Armour Sports Goods Company, founded by former Maryland football star Kevin Plank, is currently in poor operation and urgently needs financial investment;
"Damn!"
OK, please forgive Zucker for breaking out of the way now.
Although Zhuke is now a billionaire, he is still a little loser at heart. It is not natural to swear.
In fact, Zhuke has the desire to die!
"Landon Bookstore is famous, how can I not know? But I can't afford Random Bookstore with a market value of nearly 10 billion US dollars!"
That’s right, Zhuke is very jealous of Random Bookstore. After all, as the world’s leading commercial English publishing house, Penguin Publishing Group is the one that can rival it. Not to mention that in the future, the two giant companies will merge into one and become the overlord of the global publishing industry!
At the same time, Zhuke also saw some insider annual profit reports from Random House in the news given by the system.
In the fiscal year 2000, Random House sold $2.55 billion and profits were $250 million.
Moreover, the annual profit rate will grow at a minimum rate of 12% from now on.
Even if Random Bookstore's profit and market value, including growth rate, is far less than the development and profit of Internet companies, it is more stable than it is!
Random House, which has a history of nearly a hundred years, can be passed down forever like those red wine estates in France as the inheritance capital of the family.
This is very rare.
"How come, I can't afford it!"
Zhu Ke complained about the system, suppressed the discomfort in his heart, and stated: "I can't afford it now, but it doesn't mean I can't afford it in the future, so I'll escape."
Under Armour?
Under Armour Sports Goods Company?
Zhu Ke, who often watched the NBA in his previous life, certainly knew that there was such a sports goods company in the United States. The biggest star he signed was Stephen Curry, the NBA star known as "Curry"; of course, there were also other stars, such as Brandon Jenningskemba Walker, Raymond Felton and others.
In the data given by the system, Zucker quietly saw some of its future development trajectories.
Yes, it is indeed not as strong as Adidas and Nike in the sports market.
The futures market value is 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 one!
"In addition to industries covering movies, TV, animation, music, peripheral product chains, etc., entertainment media groups often must also have related industries such as sports, books, etc. After all, they themselves are part of the pan-entertainment category."
"If I can invest in shares or even directly acquire Under Armour, then I will definitely be able to make up for a shortage of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group's shortcomings in the sports market."
For a moment, Zucker thought a lot.
It is completely feasible to acquire or acquire a stake in Under Armour!
You are short of money, I have it!
The most important thing is that Under Armour Sports’ current market value is really not high. How early will it be before it is listed on the US stock market?
If the acquisition is successful, then Zhuke can make the most of the advantages of the Time Traveler, including those newcomers who have not yet made efforts in the NBA, or signing contracts with those future demons who have not yet entered the NBA, such as LeBron James, or even Yao.
I don’t want to know, I’m totally shocked when I think about it!
Zhu Ke suddenly discovered: "Sports goods are totally intriguing!"
Go and do it when you think about it!
Zhu Ke is self-aware and understands his own disadvantages, but there is still one thing that is that he can calculate and work hard.
At that time, he immediately contacted his private lawyer Zhang Wei and again commissioned him to investigate the company to learn more about Under Armour Sports Goods Company.
"Lawyer Zhang, I'll give you the matter. Oh, you talk about time? Of course, the faster the better, then that's it. After the matter is done, I'll cover all the money you have to travel to Hawaii."
Zhuke hung up the phone with a smile.
......
After hanging up the phone, Zhu Ke, who was alone in the villa, became a little turbulent again.
"At this time, shouldn't we have a celebration?"
Immediately, Zhuke cleaned up briefly and drove to find Jessica Chastain.
This night ~
There are no roads to visit Pengshan here, and the blue bird is diligent in exploring it.
This night ~
The flower path has never been swept by the guest, and the cloak door will be opened for you now.
.........
The next day.
Zhuke, who slept until he woke up at noon, went to Silicon Valley according to the pre-determined itinerary after having a meal with Jessica Chastain.
Today, ICQ company located in Silicon Valley will hold a board of directors. In addition to the management led by Weisger, it is the most important thing to hold a seminar on the issue of US stock listing.
Will it be listed in the near future, or will it be planned to go public in one or two years?
This is a question worth considering by all shareholders of the board of directors!
At this meeting, the company's CEO Weisger had a fierce dispute with Microsoft's shareholder representatives.
A representative from Microsoft said: "I don't agree with planning to go public in the near future!"
"hehe!"
CEO Weisger sneered: "Of course you Microsoft doesn't want icq to go public so soon. After all, Netscape, which has learned from the past, is now in front of you!"
"You...what do you mean this? Don't forget that Microsoft is also a shareholder of IQ Company. Will we suffer losses? Weisger, you must understand that IQ Company is still in an unprofitable situation. If it goes public in a hurry, its market value will definitely be lower than our expectations."
The powerful words of Microsoft immediately caused everyone in the conference room to be whispered.
Representatives from Goldman Sachs, News Corporation, Sequoia Capital and other parties began to whisper.
"snort!"
CEO Weisger snorted coldly: "Rouss, let me be more blunt. Isn't you Microsoft already developing instant messaging software? Netscape's browser has been defeated by you using the rogue method of forcing IE browser to pre-install. Now you are in a state of surviving and half-dead."
"So can I say that your Microsoft instant messaging software is also planning to use rogue means to fight ICQ?!"
After the words came to an instant blow!
Representatives from multiple investment institutions present were all fucking talented.
Until now, they still don’t know what Microsoft is thinking. You are planning to play alone with us!
In an instant, Goldman Sachs, News Group, Sequoia Capital and other representatives couldn't sit still.
Goldman Sachs representative said loudly: "It must be listed in the near future."
The representative of Sequoia Capital agreed: "I agree that I will report the news to the Sequoia Capital's board of directors as soon as possible, and I will convince them."
Once Icq is listed, it will inevitably obtain sufficient development funds and can grow and grow in the shortest time. Even if Microsoft uses rogue means again, ICQ will not have no strength to fight back.
As for Zucker?
Hoho~
Of course I agree!
The first update of "" is given away!
