Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 78 Return to North America

Soon after Qin Weimu left the office, Luo Sheng received a call from Xu Yong and soon went out of the office to the R&D department.

Bluestar Technology is now in a stage of rapid development, and its existing business is continuously developing and expanding according to the established plan. The [Know] project of Yunge Search has been established. This is already planned. Next year is [Wiki] Feng Yi, Yu Jun and Li Mingyuan are responsible for the company’s search business. Li Mingyuan is mainly preparing for the operation of the "Super Girl" entertainment event.

In addition, the most important task of Bluestar Technology this year is to share video and audio. Two major projects, namely music and video, are divided into four major products.

There is no way, it must be divided into domestic version and overseas version. Only in this way is it better to take into account the operation of global business.

...

"Boss, the Bluestar music project has been developed and the internal testing is basically no problem. We think it can be officially launched. When did you decide?"

It was Xu Yong who was speaking, and immediately added: "Oh, yes, according to the plan [Yunge knows] this project has been established at the beginning of the month, and Feng Yi is in charge."

Luo Sheng said: "It's enough to advance as planned."

Bluestar Technology now has many projects. In addition to ensuring that the products that have already been launched are operating well, new projects have not fallen.

Xu Yong repeatedly asked: "When will the Bluestar Music project go online? Not only the domestic version, but the overseas version has also completed internal testing. As long as you approve, both the domestic and overseas versions of Bluestar Music [MusicSpace] can be synchronized. online."

Bluestar Technology has another major development project, Bluestar Video. However, this project is still under development. I am afraid it will be passed in the second half of the year after passing internal tests.

Because Luo Sheng evacuated more than 300 technical R&D personnel to the Blue Coast Company halfway, more than one-third of the core technical personnel were transferred, and it is impossible to have no impact on Bluestar Technology.

"Continue to optimize, don't rush to launch it for now, wait until I go to North America and discuss the copyright issue." Luo Sheng said after thinking about it.

"I think it's possible for Bluestar Music to go online first in China. Anyway, the copyright issue is in the country. We have nothing to do with those record companies. The overseas version of MusicSpace can wait until the copyright is fixed before it goes online. Boss, what do you think?" Xu Yong It is worth mentioning that the company’s two major music projects, the domestic version and the international version, are very different. After all, the situation is different.

It must be admitted that in this era, there is no concept of copyright in China. The existing music portals bluntly just carry pirated copies, such as the current Baidu MP3 Qianqian Listening.

At present, in China, people like Luo Sheng who actively seek copyright authorization are insane in the eyes of domestic practitioners. They obviously don’t need money, but they want to spend the wrong money. It’s a fool with a lot of money. behavior.

"No!" Luo Sheng did not hesitate to reject Xu Yong's proposal, and said: "Going online in advance will seriously affect my business trip to the United States to talk about copyright. I want to convince the record company to give you the rights you want. It’s very difficult. They won’t authorize it casually. If you do this, the company’s impression score in the eyes of the record companies will be greatly reduced, and it will make them fear of being dominated by Napster.”

Xu Yong helplessly said, "Well, after you have negotiated the copyright issue before you go online, you can just transfer the staff to be responsible for the development of Bluestar Video. But the boss, I found that Chen Shijun is a good person. Recently, I told him He has frequent email exchanges, and he is very knowledgeable in streaming media technology. I think this is a personal talent, and he may be responsible for operating the overseas version of the [BluestarVideo] video business."

Luo Sheng smiled when he heard the words, and said concisely: "The heroes see the same."

After a pause, Luo Sheng added: "The other thing is that I don't want Jobs to quickly understand our intentions. Of course, the Qiao Gang mainly looks down on us. It is the best. Our music project is the target of Apple. Compared with us now, iTunes, Apple is a behemoth. For such a Big Mac, it’s better to let it notice us as late as possible."

Suddenly Xu Yong's eyes lit up and he looked at Luo Sheng: "I understand, no wonder the boss you are going to set up the Blue Coast company and do the mobile phone business of consumer terminals. You want to make the Bluestar music playback function become Essential functions of mobile phones?"

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "Just know, don't yell everywhere."

Xu Yong and one of the core backbones who attended the meeting nodded again and again, surely he wouldn't talk nonsense everywhere. If he talked about this, he would not be laughed off by others. Cross-border competition with Apple?

Saying this will definitely usher in a crowd of ridicule.

Xu Yong couldn't help but said with emotion: "To tell the truth, I never thought that one day I would compete with Apple, and I was excited to think about it."

In fact, what is Luo Sheng's ambition?

Go to the hinterland of the telecommunications kingdom with wireless terminals, and personally pry into the era of mobile Internet, BlueSpace [BlueSpace], search engine Yunge, Yunge Tieba, Yungezhizhi, Yungepedia, Reddit.com , Bluestar Music [MusicSpace], Bluestar Video [BluestarVideo] and so on.

These are collectively referred to as the "Blue Star Technology Family Bucket", and use this as a starting point to establish a foundation for building the ecosystem of the mobile Internet application operating system on the Côte d'Azur. Take the lead step by step, step by step. What else will happen to the iPhone by then?What else does the iOS ecosystem matter?

Must be the leader of the Blue Coast.

Luo Sheng’s plan is extremely clear. The Blue Coast company leads the hardware ecological chain and operating system, and the Bluestar Technology Company leads the software application ecological chain. It takes its own way, leaving others with nowhere to go. If others have a way to go, then Just grab it, and let others have nowhere to go.

perfect!

...

Entering April, Luo Sheng once again embarked on a trip to North America and traveled to the United States for the second time. This time he led eleven people there, and Qin Weimu must be on the list.

On the morning of April 5th, it was the second day that Luo Sheng came to Los Angeles. Today, he will meet with Morris, the head of Universal Music Group. Before he came to the United States, he had made an appointment.

Luo Sheng is also quite well-known in North America. At the end of last year, he appeared in major mainstream media in Europe and the United States. Now he is also a real billionaire worth hundreds of millions. Otherwise, even if he makes an appointment, the head of Universal Music may not think about it. Want to see him.

Americans are arrogant.

In fact, there is a big gap between record companies and companies in the technology sector. This is the result of Napster, an Internet company.

However, Gang Leader Qiao still broke this barrier, at least now it is not nearly as incompatible as in earlier years, Morris is still willing to meet Luo Sheng.

The meeting place was at the Malibu Country Club in Los Angeles. The Malibu Golf Club is the best golf course in Los Angeles, enjoying the spectacular undulating Santa Monica Mountains alone.

This golf club is half private and half open to the public. It only takes about 45 minutes from the center of Los Angeles to escape the hustle and bustle of the city. It is a private resort and a good place for business meetings.

Of course, the biggest reason for choosing to meet here is that Universal Music's headquarters is here in Santa Monica, Los Angeles.
