Zhu Ke was alone in his study at home, writing and painting, planning the future of the company.

Up to now, there are many companies under Zucker, and there are even more companies holding shares.

Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group is the most important industry under Zhuke.

Its subsidiary companies include Wald Pictures, Upn TV Network, WB TV Network, Jin Shuguang Music, Jin Shuguang Publishing, Under Armour Sports Products, Manchester City Club, World Wrestling Entertainment, Baokai Game Company, Water World Animation Company, SpongeBob SquarePants chain stores (including Baz Doll Factory), Jin Shuguang Radio......

A total of 17 subsidiaries.

Today, the entire Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group has become a force that cannot be ignored in Hollywood, especially becoming the overlord of the 2000 Christmas schedule, which has made Jin Shuguang Entertainment a very popular momentum.

Judging from the profit level, media power and distribution channel advantages alone, Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group is definitely the top ten media giants in the United States.

And all this took only 5 years!

Miracle!

Many American entrepreneurs exclaimed: "This is a miracle, an incredible and jaw-dropping great initiative."

In fact, Zhuke himself is very proud and proud of this.

In June 1999, Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group was worth US$3.26 billion in overall!

Among the major Hollywood film companies, the overall strength ranks 8th;

In the field of major media companies in the United States, it ranks 17th!

But...what now?

Now, more than a year later, it has already developed leap forward!

In December 2000, according to the latest issue of Fortune magazine, the overall value of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group was as high as US$5.8 billion;

Among the major Hollywood film companies, the overall strength ranks 7th, second only to Hollywood's top six, and has surpassed MGM and DreamWorks;

In the field of major media companies in the United States, it ranks in the top ten, and has climbed several places.

This is definitely a huge leap!

After a year and a half, the overall market value of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group rose from US$3.26 billion to US$5.8 billion, with an increase of more than US$2.5 billion.

The growth was so fast that countless people were shocked.

Fortune magazine published an article saying: "Since the bubble crisis, Mr. Juke Wald has acquired many film and television companies, local TV stations, and local radio stations, spending more than US$300 million, and has quickly acquired various subsidiaries of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group. In this regard, it is very reasonable that the overall market value of Jinshuguang Entertainment Company has risen."

"Secondly, the two movies "Spider-Man" and "Harry Potter" have made great contributions!"

"The two films have made great contributions to the Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group."

"At the same time, with the 100 billion dollar plan for books, movies, theme parks, and various industries built around the Harry Potter series. We are very sure that at this time next year, the overall market value of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group will increase by another $1 billion, or even $2 billion, which is very likely!"

"The most important thing is that its Water World Animation company has a market value of up to $1.9 billion since its listing in November 1999."

"In less than 5 years, Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group will surely become a giant company with a market value of up to 10 billion US dollars!"

Fortune magazine gave Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group a very high evaluation and won the recognition of many readers.

However......

Apple ceo Jobs sneered: "Fortune magazine is too conservative. According to my understanding of Zhuke, 5 years? He can't wait! In at most 3 years, Jin Shuguang Entertainment will definitely become a media company with a market value of more than 10 billion US dollars, or even a higher market value!"

These remarks made a large number of people shake their heads.

They thought Jobs was too exaggerated.

However, those who are familiar with Zhuke, such as John Lassett, Redstone, Murdoch, Billy, and others, agree with Jobs' remarks very much.

Mattel CEO Mainz, facing the interview, said in a deep voice: "Water World Animation Company's market value is US$1.9 billion, and Wald Pictures' valuation is more than US$2.1 billion. The combined two companies alone exceed US$4 billion."

After pausing, he said: "The TV group under Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, the upn TV network, WB TV network under its jurisdiction, said it is worth 1.2 billion US dollars, but if I say it is far beyond this number, it is worth at least 2 billion US dollars."

Finally, Mainz said: "The revenue of Baz Doll Factory in 2000 exceeded US$2.5 billion. This alone is a company worth more than US$3 billion."

Say a thousand and tell ten thousand.

Mattel CEO Mainz believes that the report given by Fortune magazine is completely lower than the actual value of Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group.

Time magazine published an article saying: "Kin Shuguang Entertainment Group is a company with an overall valuation of more than US$7 billion."

That's right, Time magazine's overall market value estimate for Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group is far greater than Fortune.

...........

"No matter what the two magazines, Fortune and Time, Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group still has a long way to go," Zhu Ke said intimately.

you do not say.

You should know that in early 2000, the United States Online acquired Time Warner, but in the form of cash stocks, it gave a purchase price of US$181 billion;

Disney Group has a market value of more than US$45 billion, while in September 2020, its market value was as high as nearly US$240 billion;

Compared with these giant companies, Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group undoubtedly has a long way to go. Although Zhu Ke is a person deeply influenced by the "small peasant thought", he will never be complacent and at most he will be complacent for a while.

.........

In addition to Jin Shuguang Entertainment Group, Zhuke's companies also have many holding companies.

LinkedIn, Standard Bank of California, McAfee (antivirus) software company, Dafeng Capital, European Starship Technology...

As for companies that hold a small amount of shares, there are more.

Google, Amazon Mall, Apple, Mars...

Well, of course there is also a technology park with an initial investment of more than $2 billion.

"I don't know. After counting, my current net worth is nearly 15 billion US dollars. Moreover, this is because the Internet and technology stocks are now sluggish, otherwise my net worth will definitely exceed 30 billion US dollars!"

Zhu Ke was also shocked.

It has to be said that Zhuke's current wealth is indeed shocking.

An Internet bubble swept the world, causing the wealth of the rich on the Forbes rankings to shrink seriously. Bill Gates alone lost his personal wealth of more than $50 billion.

"Tsk tsk tsk tsk ~"

"This is the release date of Forbes rankings. Otherwise, the $15 billion wealth I hold now can be ranked in the top 20 of the world's richest people."
