Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 76 Azure Coast

Bluestar Technology Headquarters, CEO Office.

"The youngest billionaire in the country and even the world, the youngest individual who accumulates billions of fortunes the fastest, the news media are reporting your news on the front page, becoming the focus of everyone's attention..."

Irene walked into the CEO's office, flipped the door, said with a smile, walked away, and came to Luo Sheng's desk. She twisted her hips, sat with her hands, and let her hands go. neck.

"...The love career has a double harvest, and you can become a winner in your life in the first year of the crown. What comments does Mr. Luo have to express?"

Luo Sheng glanced at the pretty face that was close at hand, and said solemnly: "I'm here again for gold panning? Didn't you panning for gold the day before? Sooner or later you will be hollowed out if this goes on, who can stand it?"

Irene: "Isn't it the next day..."

Luo Sheng: "..."

At that time, the sun and the moon were in the sky, and Chibi was nostalgic.During the jokes, the feathers watched the scriptures, the rocks pierced through the sky, the stormy waves shot the incident, and thousands of piles of snow rolled up.When the big river goes east, the waves are exhausted.

...

As the scene has recovered, Irene's face still has a faint blush, and Luo Sheng is full of blood to recover, but there is really no drop.

"The budget for the trip to the U.S. has been drawn up for you. How long will it take for you to go on this business trip?" Irene said, with an unchecked little resentment. It has not been two months since my last business trip to North America. Going there.

Irene naturally hopes to be with him every day in love, but also knows that Luo Sheng's career and company development are at a critical moment. Now this kind of life rhythm is also quite good, and there is a sneaky excitement.

"This time it won't be too long. I definitely won't go for more than half a month like last time, at most a week." Luo Sheng thought for a while and said that this trip to North America has only one purpose.

Let’s talk about audio-visual copyright issues.

This trip is scheduled for the beginning of next month, which is April.

And this month, Luo Sheng has more important things. The mobile Internet tide is about to hit. 12% of the equity has been transferred and cashed out. Now that he has sufficient funds in his hand, he must deploy in the ICT field as soon as possible. The first task is to establish integrated circuit research and development. laboratory.

Irene left the office, and Luo Sheng began to ponder ICT technology research and development alone.

The goal is very clear, and the thinking is also very clear, that is, before Apple launches the iPhone in January 2007, it is the first to launch the world's first truly desktop-level smartphone.

Halfway through Hu Jobs, Luo Sheng is imperative for this matter, and always fulfills the mission of "going on one's own way, leaving others with nowhere to go".

...

While Luo Sheng was actively preparing, at that time, in a place on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, two old friends who had known each other for many years were talking face to face.

These two were Apple's then CEO Jobs, and the man sitting across from Jobs was named Edward Zander. In January this year, he airborne Motorola and became the head of the company.

Not long ago, Edward Zander, who had just taken charge of Motorola, successfully rejected a major acquisition contract, staged a perfect move, and successfully missed a historic opportunity.

That is about the acquisition of Huawei. The two parties had already negotiated last year. Huawei decided to sell itself to Motorola for $10 billion. Both parties have completed the initial signing, but Edward, who was parachuted down at the last moment, felt that it was too expensive. , Lowered the price to 7.5 billion US dollars.

Hua was outraged and stopped selling.

At this moment, the two old friends who have known each other for many years seemed to have a pleasant chat. Both sides talked about some dialogues that Apple and Motorola should strengthen cooperation.

However, the situational conversations that Qiao Gang held at this moment are more of greeting with old friends. He should now be immersed in the joy of the great success of the iPod. This product has been launched on the market and has been bringing a steady stream of sources to Apple. The profits can be described as pourable.

Edward Zander looked at his old friend to ask a question and asked: "I ask you Steve, when you go out, you will make sure whether you have brought three things together, your keys, your wallet, and your Phone, your iPod is not on this list."

Jobs has always used bullet-like language to impact others, but this sentence of a friend who has known each other for many years successfully hit the leader of the Joe Gang.

Not long after Edward Zander took charge of Motorola, the new official took office with three fires. What he wanted to do was something he had to consider now. Of course, the first major thing he did after taking office was to successfully shut out Motorola.

Sure enough, it is an extraordinary CEO, and the operation is difficult to predict.

This year is a difficult transition period for Motorola. Since the bubble burst in the Internet and telecommunications industries, Motorola's performance has been poor.

For Motorola at this time, the hard-hit comes from the "next door." When Motorola's stock price has plummeted, the stock prices of Nokia and Qualcomm are booming.

There is a saying: Happiness is not about what you don't have, but what you have, but not your most annoying neighbor next door.

Motorola is now in this state of mind.

"By the year 2004, Apple's iPod has already made the mark in the music player market in the United States. Market analysts also claim that the global music player market is close to hundreds of millions of units..." Edward Zander said here, seemingly Affirming this work of Steve Jobs, in fact, the first ups and downs.

Sure enough, Edward Zander immediately changed the subject and added: "But old friends, the sales of mobile phones will be ten times more than this number. If mobile phone manufacturers turn the music playback function into a necessary function of mobile phones, even If you can sync, the iPod will undoubtedly face life and death challenges."

This word undoubtedly hit the heart of the leader of Qiao again like a bullet, the leader of Qiao did not say a word, obviously tacitly acquiescing this point.

Friends who have known each other for many years brought Motorola to the door to hope to cooperate with Apple. At this time, Jobs' mentality has quietly changed. If it was just a greeting before, then now it is really possible to cooperate with Motorola.

But every other way is like a mountain. At this time, Apple under Jobs's control is obviously unable to subvert the pattern of the mobile phone market.

It is now 2004, and Apple is still hovering outside the door of mobile phones that people cannot leave. If this is not a crisis for Apple, there is no crisis.

Steve Jobs, who had understood in an instant, began to become more active and more patient than Edward Zander.

...

At the same time, while Edward Zander was urging Joe’s gang to work together to make him determined to develop an Apple mobile phone, Luo Sheng, who was far away on the other side of the Pacific, was also stepping up time to start a secret called the "Blue Core Project". Project landing.

Obviously, Luo Sheng regarded the "Blue Core" project as a magic weapon that could take him deep into the hinterland of the telecom kingdom.

On March 21, 2004, Luo Sheng registered a new wholly-owned legal person company-AzureCoast Technology Co., Ltd.

Luo Sheng transferred 12% of the equity of Bluestar Technology Company and finally cashed out 2.64 billion yuan in disposable funds after tax. He used 2.6 billion yuan for the registered capital of the new company, Blue Coast, and basically all of it was taken out, only left A fraction of less than 40 million was placed on a personal account.

2.6 billion yuan is definitely an astronomical figure in this era, but there is still a pitiful little for Luo Sheng to do. If this money is not saved, it will burn out in a short time.

The reason why investors are not optimistic about Luo Sheng's entry into the ICT field is because this field is not an ordinary burning of money. For a start-up company with no foundation, there is simply nowhere to spend the money.

This is true under normal circumstances, but Luo Sheng is very clear about what advantages he has, not to say that he is bigger than the sky, but as a genius soul from the future came to this era, under his leadership, he will inevitably be able to avoid many detours and realize his benefits It saves countless trial and error costs.
