Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 71 [Ambient New Goal]

Competing with Steve Jobs against Apple?

The rhythm of the battle front is getting longer and longer.

Everyone was caught off guard. After a while, Yu Jun who was present couldn't help but said: "Mr. Luo, you mean a new product... If I'm right, is it competing with Apple's iTunes?"

Luo Sheng smiled and snapped his fingers, nodded in affirmation, and immediately said: "On October 23, 2001, Jobs took out his revolutionary product iPod from his jeans pocket, and iTunes was also on the same day. It was upgraded to version 2.0 to support simultaneous online management of the iPod. Soon after, the iPod will sweep the global market. Jobs hopes to use the momentum of the iPod’s great success to turn iTunes into an online music store, so that Apple can enter the digital music industry smoothly."

"Boss, the crux of the problem is that our Internet company's core business is social networking sites. Jobs has an iPod but we don't have similar hardware product support." Xu Yong said straightforward but concise and concise, which can be described as a pain point.

"It doesn't matter, let's do the PC client first. As for the back, Shanren has a clever plan and let me sell it." Luo Sheng said with extremely strong confidence. He did not tell Xu Yong their inner plan now.

Now reborn, Luo Sheng is of course using his advanced thinking and technical strength to decisively intercept Hu Jobs. He must first launch the first real touch screen smartphone before the first generation of iPhone is launched by Joe’s gang. Is there a terminal platform?

Not surprisingly, Steve Jobs will secretly develop the iPhone this year. By January 2007, he will launch this global sensational electronic product, put the Internet in his pocket, and the mobile Internet will strike.

Luo Sheng has already prepared in his heart. This year, the plan must be implemented. The starting time is about the same as Steve Jobs. He can still seize the opportunity. The leader of Qiao has the advantage of relying on Apple’s technology accumulation, but Luo Sheng is not bad. As a genius traverser, His own technological development ability is more than equal, this is his unique advantage.

After a while, Luo Sheng put all these thoughts away for the time being. Although time is tight and there are many things to do, he has to go step by step.

Closing the laptop, Luo Sheng once again looked at everyone and said: "Our development plan this time is extremely large. Strictly speaking, we have to make four products at the same time, separating video and audio, namely, streaming online video and online digital. Music, followed by domestic and international versions, streaming video is the most important, digital music second."

Everyone didn’t say a word, listening to Luo Sheng’s methodical speech: “The digital music project, the domestic version is called Bluestar Music, the overseas version is MusicSpace; the online streaming video project, the domestic version is called Bluestar Video, the international version is called BluestarVideo. This is the development task that our company will complete in the first half of this year."

"Half a year?" Xu Yong was stunned for a moment, and said quickly, "Boss, what international jokes are you making, you will definitely not be able to finish it in half a year. A full deal is equal to four big projects!"

"What four big projects, there are actually two." Luo Sheng said calmly: "Don't worry, you are in charge of the domestic version. I will arrange for the overseas version of the project to be completed by an engineer in North America."

He has not forgotten that the three founders of YouTube, such as Chen Shijun, are now his own employees. Just let them lead the development of the international version.

As for YouTube, I have come to this age, so I should never show up.

"If you don't have to be responsible for the development of the overseas version, it shouldn't be a problem within half a year." Xu Yong nodded thoughtfully. The company has now received about 2.7 billion in financing and has also moved to Sioux City. It has rapidly expanded the recruitment of engineers, and Luo Sheng must also It is not an impossible task to join the development sequence.

At this time, Luo Sheng looked around everyone and laughed: "If BlueSpace is a social network based on the emergence of [web2.0 era], then the new project is based on the emergence of online streaming media sharing in [web2.0 era]. Websites, especially BluestarVideo, this time we are going to build a UGC based... UGC is called [UserGeneratedContent], which is user-generated content, that is, a video sharing website with user-created content as the core."

Luo Sheng briefly introduced the model and concept of the new project to everyone, and then said with very powerful words:

"The goal of our new project is to seek to create another blue space or another Google. Just like blue space will become synonymous with social networking sites and Google will become synonymous with search engines, Blue Star Video will also become an online video. Synonymous with service, and to surpass Netflix to become the goal of the entire online audio-visual industry."

There is only one online streaming video service platform that Luo Sheng can see. It is definitely not the one that launched last year, but Netflix, which has been established for five or six years, is a North American streaming media on-demand. Online provider.

But "Bluestar Video" is not a benchmark against Netflix. The web2.0 era has only begun to emerge. What Bluestar Video wants to do is an online streaming video sharing website, and the benchmark is YouTube. Of course, there is no YouTube now.

This website can't even find the shadow now. Its three co-founders have now worked for Bluestar Technology. They don't have one now, and there will be none in the future. There will be only one BluestarVideo video website in the future.

Whenever I think that the number of visits to YouTube in the original world will become a super monster second only to Google, you don't have to think about Luo Shengtuo's mission of not forgetting his original intention, keeping in mind to walk his own way, and leaving others with nowhere.

And I am very convinced that I have the advantages of foresight and can definitely do better than YouTube.

...

After getting the B round of financing, Luo Sheng can be said to be busier, because time is money, and a slow step will lead to a slow step.

He is now well-known in the industry, it can be said to be in full swing, a lot of media want to interview her, a lot of programs want to invite him as a guest, because although his experience is not long, but it is too legendary, so he dropped out of his sophomore year to start a business , The established Bluestar Technology Co., Ltd. rose rapidly in the Internet industry and became one of the "BALT" Big Four.

And this year, Luo Sheng is only 20 years old, and he is 20 years old. The more topical convenience is his valuation, which has reached a valuation of ¥15.5 billion, while the current domestic richest man is worth ¥12.4 billion. In other words, in terms of valuation, Luo Sheng is already the country's new richest man.

In order to gain eyeballs and click-through rates, some media directly wrote in the article that Luo Sheng is already the new richest man in China. Although the media exaggerates, it does not prevent him from becoming a hot spot in business and Internet technology. And the process of rise is a legendary story.

It has achieved such a high level within a year of starting from scratch, and it has made many people feel that the Internet field is really a place of rich myths, but people who have been in the business world for many years do not have much emotion about this.

After all, in their opinion, the Internet is too imaginary. It gets up quickly and sometimes falls the worst. Relatively speaking, Luo Sheng is in the eyes of many long-established business leaders, especially those who do business. His foundation is too shallow, like duckweed.

But this does not hinder the media's enthusiasm and pursuit, but Luo Sheng does not have this free time to waste for bragging, and any program invitations and interviews are all rejected by him without exception.
