Global monopoly of technology

By entrusting a headhunting consultant, the company hired him at a high price with an annual salary of $2.18 million to take charge of the European business of Bluestar Technology. The film in charge of the European business is always an Indian. The previous owner is Google. The president of global global sales took a lot of effort to dig it.

Think about it, it is certainly not easy to grab talent from Larry Page.Google's treatment is no worse than Bluestar Technology. If you want to dig into the corner of Google, there is no other way but to give higher treatment.

In foreign countries, especially in the North American Silicon Valley technology circle, there is a more interesting phenomenon, that is, many Indians hold key positions in famous technology companies.

When this phenomenon becomes unusually common, it is no coincidence.New Hampshire Southern University conducted a cross-cultural study on this, surveying and researching professional managers in North America and India.

The study found that in terms of the leadership quality of professional executives, more managers from India have achieved the highest rankings and scores in Silicon Valley.

However, this research report is actually somewhat one-sided. It does not mean that the Chinese are not good, but because most Chinese executives usually return to their own countries to start businesses and become their own bosses. For Indians, their own country has not allowed The soil for their entrepreneurial success is hard for clever women to cook without rice. They can only display their talents on the stage of Silicon Valley.

While Luo Sheng's vision is global, Bluestar Technology is also positioned as a multinational company.

If you want to make the company's overseas business develop smoothly and become bigger and stronger, you really can't blindly appoint domestic people, not to mention the average Chinese people like to start their own work and be their own boss, otherwise the professional managers of Silicon Valley, There are definitely no fewer people from China than Indians.

Luo Sheng usually likes to tease his third brother once in a while, but he is not malicious. In any case, he is also in business, and Indians are not worthless. How can they not have anything to mix in Silicon Valley?

Nix Mehrotla, a professional executive from India, was interviewed by him personally. Through communication, he found that this 37-year-old middle-aged bald uncle with glasses has the characteristics of facing the future.Moreover, he is able to integrate sincere personal humility with strong professional will, and has also achieved outstanding performance.

This kind of professional manager never lacks a job, and is always looking for him at work. As long as he shows a little bit of thought of hopping, the call from the headhunting company will blow him up in minutes.

The establishment of a film director in Europe is in line with the development plan of Bluestar Technology and is conducive to the company's better business operations in Europe.

Today, Bluestar Technology has become more and more like a mature multinational technology company, divided by region into three major business segments, Greater China, Americas, and Europe.

The three major business segments are the core of the company. From the business perspective of the current five to ten years, the most commercially valuable business segment is the Americas, followed by Europe, and finally Greater China.

Ten years later, Greater China will be the world's best in terms of single market size and commercial value.

As for the current situation, because the development speed of the domestic Internet is not even comparable to that of the European region, it is even less comparable to North America. Not to mention the quality, in terms of volume, the number of Internet users in North America is twice that of the domestic Internet users, and it has already rushed to 200 million. Go, and the country is currently worth over 100 million.

To say that among all domestic Internet companies, Luo Sheng’s Bluestar Technology Company is the only Internet technology company that has successfully gone overseas. Other companies, even "BALT", have reached the other three. Nothing, let alone anything else.

It is no exaggeration to say that at present, apart from Bluestar Technology at home and abroad, other Internet companies have no idea of ​​going overseas at all. They have no idea, at least not now.

Being able to do it in China is already a huge success. After all, Bluestar Technology is unique and cannot be replicated, even in Silicon Valley.

...

The time came to August 2004. Luo Sheng’s focus was still on the Blue Coast Company. He spent two-thirds of the time in the "Blue Coast Laboratory" every day. He coordinated the entire [Azure] project plan and led the " The research and development of the "Blue Core" project also takes into account the operation of Bluestar Technology.

However, the Bluestar technology company, when he was away, was taken care of by the company's second-in-command, the chief operating officer Zhang Bowen.

This month is very important for Bluestar Technology. Another major new product of the company this year will be officially released this month, which is the streaming video business, the domestic version of Bluestar Video, and the international version of BluestarVideo.

The launch date has been determined, and the exact date is August 21, 2004. The domestic and international versions will be launched simultaneously on this day.

This is the product with the longest development cycle among the company's many products. The project was established at the beginning of the year and was delayed until August.

In fact, it can be launched in June, but since Luo Sheng dug his own corner after setting up the Blue Coast company in March, he dug nearly half of the key engineers from Bluestar Technology to the Blue Coast company. There was not enough manpower and the project was handed over. It is inevitable to slow down the progress.

...

On August 20th, Bluestar Technology CEO Office.

Luo Sheng looked at the computer intently. He opened a page that was a report on the Forbes website. It has become a habit to spend ten to twenty minutes following information every day.

On August 19, that is, yesterday, the North American Internet giant Google listed on the Nasdaq. The IPO raised a total of 1.666 billion US dollars. It was originally to raise 2.7 billion US dollars. The day before the listing, the price of some original shares was lowered, and the amount of financing was greatly reduced from the original 2.7 billion US dollars to 1.7 billion US dollars, and the final actual financing was 1.666 billion US dollars.

After getting financial support from the listing, Google began to rapidly expand its footprint and seek diversified development.

Luo Sheng looked at the content reported on the Forbes website, and was quite moved in his heart. Google's listing is definitely a feast of capital.

It's not unreasonable to be so crazy. Google started to make a profit in 2001 when it was only three years old. At the same time, almost all Internet companies, including Yahoo, were losing money. At that time, except for Google, the other exception was eBay. .

Even in the era of the bursting of the Internet bubble, Google is still on the rise, constantly consolidating its position as the "king of search".

Not surprisingly, its stock price will climb to around $200 by the end of the year, and its market value will break through $50 billion.

Because Google’s performance report is too eye-catching, with revenue of US$3.19 billion, profit of US$399 million, and revenue growth of 118%. The key is that Google’s profit has reached nearly US$400 million despite large-scale diversified expansion investment. , Shows its ability to make money.

After reading related news reports for a while, Luo Sheng closed the page and the time was almost up. It was time for him to work.

Both Silicon Valley and Wall Street are now chasing Google's listing. Luo Sheng is not only emotional, because he firmly believes that the value of Bluestar Technology under his own control will inevitably be better than Google.

Major Internet companies at home and abroad have successively entered the IPO stage, and this track seems to be getting hotter.

However, Luo Sheng is not in a hurry. Bluestar Technology is still some time away from the IPO stage. Although he can list the company in the United States this year as long as he wants to go public, he does not want to go public so soon.

On the second day, that is, August 21, Bluestar Technology's another heavyweight product streaming video business this year, the domestic version of Bluestar Video and the international version of BluestarVideo were officially launched simultaneously.
