Chapter 129 Future Information Given by the System

After Zhu Ke crossed over, he had a personal golden finger, the so-called system, just like many of the seniors who passed through.

Well, even if this system of my own often pretends to be dead, the half-dead, relatively low-end kind.

But it is undeniable that the first pot of gold that Zhu Ke started was the news of Netscape's listing given by the system. Otherwise, even if Zu Ke succeeded, it would not have been possible in just over two years. 7.8 billion dollars.

"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 precisely this is what ordinary people of the Great Celestial Dynasty lack.

Yes, Zucker is a transmigrator.

Know some giant companies in Western countries, and historical events.

However, Zhu Ke, who was an orphan in his previous life, with a few exceptions, was busy with life all day long. How could he worry about it?

[Host, do you want to check the information? 】

"Check!"

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

Message as follows:

1. Random House, as one of the largest English-language commercial publishing groups in the world, will be acquired by the Bertelsmann Group from Germany in May 1998, with a 76% stake, valued at $5.9 billion;

2. Under Armour Sporting Goods Company, founded by former Maryland football star Kevin Plank, is currently in poor operating conditions and is in urgent need of capital investment;

"Fuck!"

Well, please forgive Zucker for exploding at the moment.

Although Zucker is a billionaire now, he is still a little diaosi at heart.

In fact, Zu Ke wanted to die!

"Random House is very famous, how can I not know about it? But Random House with a market value of nearly 10 billion US dollars, I can't afford it!"

That's right, Zucker is very jealous of Random House. After all, as the world's leading English-language commercial publishing house, the only one that can compete with it is Penguin Publishing Group, not to mention that in the future, the two giant companies will merge into one and become a global publishing company. Industry leader!

At the same time, in the news given by the system, Zucker also saw some insider annual earnings reports from Random House.

In fiscal year 2000, Random House had sales of $2.55 billion and profit of $250 million.

And, every year thereafter, the profit rate will grow at a minimum rate of 12%.

Even though Random House's profit and market value, including growth rate, are far behind the development and profitability of Internet companies, it is better than stability!

Random House, which has a history of nearly a hundred years, can be passed on forever as the family's inheritance capital, just like those red wine estates in France.

This is very rare.

"Nah, I can't afford it!"

Zhu Ke complained about the system, endured the discomfort in his heart, and said: "I can't afford it now, but that doesn't mean I can't afford it in the future. I slipped away."

Under Armour?

Under Armour Sporting Goods?

Zucker, who often watched the NBA in his last life, of course knew that there was such a sporting goods company in the United States. The biggest star it signed is the NBA star Stephen Curry, known as "Curitian"; of course, there are other stars signed, such as Brandon Jennings, Kemba Walker, Raymond De Felton et al.

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 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 Group,

In addition to the industries covered by movies, TV, animation, music, peripheral commodity chain stores, etc., it is often necessary to have related industries such as sports and books. After all, they are also members of the pan-entertainment category. "

"If I can become a shareholder, or even acquire Under Armour directly, I will definitely be able to fill a shortcoming of Jinshuguang Entertainment Group in the sports market."

For a time, Zucker thought a lot.

Acquiring or taking a stake in Under Armour is completely feasible!

Aren't 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. How long before it goes public in the US stock market?

If the acquisition is successful, then Zucker can make the most of the advantages of the traversers, including those newcomers who have not yet played in the NBA, or signing future demons 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!

Zu Ke suddenly found out: "Sporting goods are totally messed up!"

Do it if you think of it!

Zhu Ke has self-knowledge and understands his own shortcomings, but he still has a little extra, that is, he can calculate and work hard.

Immediately, he contacted Zhang Wei, a private lawyer, and entrusted him with an investigation company again to learn more about the news of Under Armour Sporting Goods.

"Lawyer Zhang, I'll leave the matter to you. Oh, you said time? Of course, the sooner the better, that's good, let's do it for now. After the matter is done, I will cover all the money for your trip to Hawaii."

Zucker hung up the phone with a smile.

......

After hanging up the phone, Zhu Ke, who was alone in the villa, became a little more commotion.

"At this time, shouldn't we come and celebrate?"

Immediately, Zucker simply packed up and drove to Jessica Chastain.

this night~

There are not many ways to go to Pengshan, and the blue bird is attentive to visit.

this night~

The flower path has never been swept away by customers, and the Pengmen is now opened for you.

......

the next day.

Zucker, who slept until he woke up at noon, went to Silicon Valley according to the established schedule after eating with Jessica Chastain.

Today at ICQ, which is located in Silicon Valley, a board meeting will be held. In addition to the management headed by Wesger reporting the recent work results to the board, the most important thing is to hold a seminar on the issue of US stock market listing.

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 question that deserves the consideration of all board shareholders!

At this meeting, there was a fierce dispute between the company's CEO Vesger and Microsoft's shareholder representatives.

A representative from Microsoft said: "I don't agree with planning to go public in the near future!"

"Ha ha!"

CEO Wesger sneered: "Of course you Microsoft don't want icq to go public so soon. After all, Netscape, which has learned from the past, has its tragic situation right in front of you!"

"You... what do you mean by that? Don't forget that Microsoft is also a shareholder of icq, are we going to suffer losses? Wesger, you have to understand that icq is not yet profitable. If it is listed in a hurry, the 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.

Goldman Sachs, News Corporation, Sequoia Capital and other representatives began to whisper.

"Humph!"

CEO Wisig snorted coldly: "Rouss, let me be more blunt, aren't you Microsoft already developing instant messaging software? Netscape's browser was used by you to force the rogue pre-installation of IE browser. It was defeated, and now it is in a state of lingering, half-dead."

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

As soon as the voice fell, the entire conference room exploded in an instant!

The representatives of the multi-party investment institutions present are all **** people.

Until now, they still don't know Microsoft's careful thinking, co-authoring you are planning to leave us alone to play!

In an instant, representatives of Goldman Sachs, News Corp, and Sequoia Capital couldn't sit still.

The representative of Goldman Sachs said loudly: "Listing, 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 directors of Sequoia Capital as soon as possible, and I will convince them."

Once Icq is listed, it will definitely be able to obtain sufficient development funds, and it will be able to grow and develop in the shortest possible time. Even if Microsoft uses rogue tactics again, ICQ will not be completely free to fight back.

As for Zucker?

hehe~

Of course I agree!
