Like many of his predecessors, Zucker has a personal golden finger, which is the so-called system.
Well, even if your own system often pretends to be dead, half dead and relatively low-end.
However, it is undeniable that the first pot of gold that Zhuke started is the news of Netscape's listing given by the system. Otherwise, even if Zhuke can succeed, it is impossible for Zhuke to have $700 million or $800 million in just two years.
"The system is awesome enough," he said.
Most of the future information provided by the system is from European and American countries, which is exactly what ordinary people in the great Chinese dynasty lack.
Yeah, Zucker's a jumper. That's right.
I know some big companies in western countries, and historical events.
However, except for a few exceptions, Zhu Ke, who was born as an orphan in his last life, was busy all day for his life. Where could he worry about it?
[host, do you want to view information
"Check it out!"
At Zhuk's command, the less intelligent system responded immediately.
The information is as follows:
1. Random House, as one of the largest English commercial publishing groups in the world, will be acquired by Bertelsmann group from Germany in May 1998, with a 76% stake, worth US $5.9 billion;
2. Andema sporting goods company, founded by former Maryland football star Kevin punk, is in poor operation and in urgent need of capital investment;
"Lying trough!"
Well, please forgive the explosion of Zhuke at the moment.
Although Zhuke is now a billionaire, he is still a little loser in his heart. It's not natural for him to make rude remarks.
In fact, the heart that Zhuke wants to die all has!
"How can I not know that random house is famous? But I can't afford to buy random house with a market value of nearly 10 billion dollars! "
It's true that Zhuke is very greedy for Random House. After all, as the world's leading English Business Publishing House, Penguin publishing group can rival it, not to mention that in the future, the two giant companies will merge into one and become the world's leader in the publishing industry!
Meanwhile, in the information given by the system, Zhuke also saw some inside annual profit reports of Random House.
In fiscal year 2000, Random House had sales of $2.55 billion and profits of $250 million.
Moreover, after that, the annual profit rate will increase at the lowest rate of 12%.
Even though the profit and market value of Random House, including the growth rate, are far less than the development and profit of Internet companies, it is more stable!
With nearly a hundred years of history, Random House can be passed down forever as the inheritance capital of the family, just like those wine manors in France.
This is very rare.
"Why, I can't afford it!"
Zuker make complaints about his discomfort, and he says: "I can't afford it now, but I can't afford to buy it in the future."
Andama?
Andrma sporting goods company?
Zhu Ke, who used to watch NBA in his last life, certainly knew that there was such a sporting goods company in America. The biggest star he signed is the NBA star Stephen curry, who is known as "kuritian"; Of course, there are other stars, such as Brandon Jennings, kenba walker, Raymond Felton and so on.
In the data given by the system, Zhuke quietly saw some of its future development trajectory.
Yes, it's really not as strong in the sports market as Adidas and Nike.
The market value is far less than that of Adidas and Nike, but the market value of 4.3 billion US dollars in 2020 is still a very delicious cake.
The fragrant one!
"In addition to film, television, animation, music, peripheral commodity chain stores and other industries, entertainment media groups often have to own sports, books and other related industries. After all, they are also members of the pan entertainment category."
"If I can become a shareholder, or even directly acquire andema, then I will be able to make up for a short board of jinshuguang Entertainment Group in the sports market."
For a moment, Zhuke thought a lot.
It's completely feasible to acquire or take a stake in andema!
You are short of money, I have!
The most important thing is that the current market value of andema sports is really not high. Is it a long time before it is listed on the US stock market?
If the acquisition is successful, then Zhuke can make full use of the advantage of the traverser to include the newcomers who have not yet started in the NBA, or sign the future demons who have not yet entered the NBA, such as LeBron James and even big Yao.
Don't want to don't know, think completely startled!
Zhuke suddenly found: "sporting goods have a head!"
Do what you want!
Zhu Ke has the self-knowledge, understands own inferiority, but still has one point outstanding place, that is can calculate, will diligently.
At present, he contacted Zhang Wei, a private lawyer, for the first time and entrusted him with an investigation company to learn more about the news of andema sporting goods company.
"Lawyer Zhang, please give it to you. Oh, you mean time? Naturally, the sooner the better. Well, that's it first. After the business is finished, I'll take all the money for your trip to Hawaii. "
Juke hung up with a smile.
......
After hanging up the phone, a person alone in the villa in the middle of Zhuke, and some commotion.
"Shouldn't there be a celebration at this time?"
Immediately, Zhuke simply cleaned up and drove to find Jessica chastan.
That night~
There is no way to Pengshan. The birds are eager to visit.
That night~
The path of flowers has never been swept by visitors, and the Pengmen gate is now open for you.
.......
The next day.
Zucker, who had been sleeping until noon, went to Silicon Valley according to his schedule after dinner with Jessica chastan.
Today, ICQ company, located in Silicon Valley, will hold a board meeting. In addition to reporting the recent work achievements to the board of directors by the management led by weisger, the most important thing is to launch a seminar on the listing of US stocks.
Is it going to be listed in the near future or planning to be listed in a year or two?
This is a problem worthy of consideration by all shareholders of the board of directors!
At this meeting, the company's CEO weisige and Microsoft's shareholder representatives had a fierce dispute.
"I don't agree with planning to go public in the near future," said a representative from Microsoft
"Ha ha!"
"Of course, Microsoft doesn't want ICQ to go public so soon. After all, Netscape, a company that has learned from its past, has a terrible situation in front of its eyes," CEO weisger said with a sneer
"You... What do you mean? Don't forget that Microsoft is also a shareholder of ICQ company. Will we let ourselves suffer losses? Weisig, you have to understand that ICQ company is still in unprofitable status. If it goes public in a hurry, its market value will definitely be lower than our expectation. "
The sonorous and powerful words of Microsoft representatives immediately made everyone in the conference room fall into a state of low voice.
Goldman Sachs, News Corporation, Sequoia Capital and other representatives began to whisper.
"Hum!"
CEO weisger hummed coldly: "rolls, let me be more straightforward. Isn't Microsoft already developing instant messaging software? Netscape's browser has been defeated by the rogue means of compulsory pre installation of IE browser by you, and now it is in a state of survival. "
"So can I say that Microsoft's instant messaging software also intends to use rogue means to fight ICQ?"
The whole conference room exploded in an instant when the voice dropped!
The representatives of various investment institutions present are all human beings.
Up to now, they don't know Microsoft's careful thinking. Are you going to play alone!
In an instant, representatives like Goldman Sachs, News Corp. and Sequoia Capital could not sit still.
The representative of Goldman Sachs, Lang Sheng said: "to be listed, 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 immediately, and I will persuade them."
Once ICQ is listed, it will be able to obtain sufficient development funds and grow in the shortest time. At that time, even if Microsoft uses rogue means again, ICQ will not have no spare force to fight back.
As for Zucker?
Hehe~
Yes, of course!
"The first watch" is on!
