Chapter 132 Future Information Given by the System

After Zhuke crossed over, like many of the predecessors of the crosser, he possessed personal golden fingers, which is the so-called system.

Well, even though my own system often pretends to be dead, half-dead and relatively low-end.

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 was able to succeed, it would not be possible for Zhu Ke to have what it is today in just over two years. 700 million dollars in net worth.

"Thinking about it this way, the system is pretty powerful."

Most of the future information provided by the system is 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 historical events.

However, Zhu Ke, who was born as an orphan in his previous life, was busy all day long with some exceptions. Where can I worry about this?

[Host, do you want to check the information?

"Check!"

With Zhu Ke's order, the less intelligent system immediately responded.

The message is below:

1. Random House, as one of the world's largest English-language commercial publishing groups, 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!"

Well, please forgive Zhu Ke for exploding at this moment.

Although Zhu Ke is now a billionaire, he is still a small cock in his bones. It is not justified to explode in foul language.

In fact, 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 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 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 profit of US$250 million.

Moreover, the profitability rate will increase at a minimum rate 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, resisting the discomfort in his heart, and said: "I can't afford it now, but it doesn't mean that 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 previous life, certainly knew that there was such a sporting goods company in the United States.The biggest star he signed was NBA star Stephen Curry, known as "Curitian"; of course, there were also signed other stars, such as Brandon Jennings, Kemba Walker, 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 is also far less than the two giants Adidas and Nike, but the market value of $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 belong to the category of pan-entertainment."

"If I can buy shares, or even directly acquire Under Armour, then I will definitely be able to make up for the shortcomings of Jin Shuguang 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 current market value of Under Armour Sports is really not high. Is it early 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, 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'm completely shocked when I think about it!

Zhu Ke suddenly found out: "Sports goods are totally messed up!"

Do it if you think!

Zhu Ke is self-aware and understands his disadvantages, but he still has 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 commissioned him to investigate the company to learn more about Under Armour Sporting Goods Company.

"Lawyer Zhang, I'll leave the matter to you. Oh, you say the time? Naturally, the sooner the better, that's better, just like that. After the matter is over, I will cover all the money for your trip to Hawaii."

Zhuke hung up 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 is no way to go to Pengshan, and the blue bird is diligent to look around.

This night~

The flower path has never been swept away by the fate, and the Pengmen is now open for the king.

.......

The next day.

Zhuke, who slept until she got up at noon, followed Jessica Chastain's meal and headed to Silicon Valley according to the scheduled schedule.

Today, ICQ, located in Silicon Valley, will hold a board of directors. In addition to the management headed by Visger reporting to the board of the recent work results, the most important thing is to launch 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.

A representative of Microsoft said: "I don't agree with planning to go public soon!"

"Ha ha!"

CEO Weisge sneered: "Of course you Microsoft don't want icq to go public so soon. After all, Netscape, which has learned a lesson from the past, has its miserable situation in sight!"

"You...what do you mean by this? Don’t forget that Microsoft is also a shareholder of icq. Will we let ourselves suffer losses? Wisge, you have to understand that icq is currently unprofitable. The situation, if it goes public in a hurry, the market value is definitely lower than our expectations."

The sonorous and powerful words of the Microsoft representative immediately plunged everyone in the conference room into a state of whispering.

Representatives from Goldman Sachs, News Corp., Sequoia Capital, etc. began to whisper.

"Humph!"

CEO Weisge coldly snorted: "Lous, let me be more blunt, isn'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, half-dead."

"Then can I say that your Microsoft instant messaging software also intends to use rogue means to fight ICQ?!"

When the voice fell, the entire conference room exploded in an instant!

The representatives of multiple investment institutions present were all fucking human beings.

Until now, they still don’t know what Microsoft’s careful thinking, co-author, you are planning to play alone without us!

In an instant, representatives of Goldman Sachs, News Corporation, and Sequoia Capital 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 by then, ICQ will not have no room for counterattack.

As for Zucker?

Hehe~

Of course I agree!
