Global monopoly of technology

[Front row asks for votes~~]

——

Currently, the top ten IT companies in the world by market capitalization are: Microsoft ($278 billion), Google ($132.9 billion), Intel ($129 billion), IBM ($115 billion), Cisco ($113.7 billion) , Samsung Electronics ($104.4 billion), Apple ($72.13 billion), Bluestar Technology ($72.118 billion), Dell ($71.97 billion), Yahoo ($62.3 billion).

Judging from the top ten market capitalization rankings, the most dazzling ones are the eighth-ranked Bluestar Technology and the second-ranked Google.

Because the time when these two companies were established is really...too young.

Needless to say, Bluestar Technology Group is the youngest of all technology companies, but it has grown to its current size and scale.

Google's data is also extremely dazzling. Since the company went public in August 2004, in just about one and a half years, its market value has soared from 23 billion U.S. dollars at the IPO to 132.9 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of five times that of the IPO. many.

At this moment, Luo Sheng, who was interviewed, said one sentence and he was thinking. After a while, he spoke again in fluent English: "Frankly speaking, as an IT industry practitioner, this It feels like a dream. But this is not an important thing. After the IPO, I don’t care about the company’s market value anymore, because it is not the fundamental reason why our team struggles, nor is it the reason why users like our products. We should Care about what we are doing and why we do it, because of our mission and ideals."

Luo Sheng has never formally accepted an exclusive media interview. The host of "The New Yorker" doesn't know how his adaptability is. However, from the opening question just now, Luo Sheng is also quite attentive to Luo Sheng, which clearly looks like this. Young, his words and deeds are completely calm, showing a relaxed and confident side.

For a moment, the host looked at the people present in front of the stage, then looked at the camera with a smile and said: "I am now face to face with Luo Sheng, the founder, chairman and CEO of Bluestar Technology."

The host once again looked back at Luo Sheng and smiled: "I still want to congratulate the achievements of this IPO. Did you believe that you can grow so fast at such a fast pace in the early days when you founded Bluestar Technology?"

Luo Sheng replied without hesitation: "I think no one would think of it, and of course I would not."

I silently added a sentence: In fact, this was all in my expectation.

Luo Sheng calmly continued: "However, when Bluestar Technology was founded three years ago or even earlier, I believed and still believed that the Internet will change our world, whether you believe it or not, and regardless of Bluestar Technology Whether it succeeds or not, the Internet is and continues to profoundly change our world."

It was the host’s turn to take the words and immediately asked: “Bluestar Technology previously set the largest IPO in history, $5.6 billion, which is 336% of Google’s IPO. How do you plan to use the funds? You will buy Is it a competitor MySpace?"

Bluestar Technology Group’s current largest business sector is the social network [BlueSpace BlueSpace]. The domestic competitor of this business is Tengxun, and the main foreign competitor is MySpace. The opponents have accumulated in North America so far. With a user scale of 15.5 million, it has reached 20 million worldwide.

Luo Sheng couldn't help but raised Erlang's legs, leaning back on the chair and laughing: "Uh...MySpace? Haha, well, I don't know if Chris would sell it to me."

The host stared at him and then asked: "Will you think about it then?"

Luo Sheng shook his head and said seriously: "I think we probably won't, because we think the very important point is that we want to build a product or a company, not buy a product or a company. If we want to guarantee If our entire social ecosystem is vibrant, we must have a healthy competitive environment. In Greater China, we compete with Tengxun, and in North America, we compete with MySpace. Only competition can promote the positive and circular growth of the entire industry, which is good."

There is nothing wrong with this statement, but it demonstrates Luo Sheng's mind and pattern. It also made the industry audience who came to participate in the rebound with emotion. It is not accidental that Bluestar Technology Group can achieve today's myth.

In fact, taking a step back is "scientific pig raising".

Luo Sheng doesn't want Bluestar Technology to face the destiny of being split because of its absolute monopoly, so he has to learn from the toothpaste manufacturer Intel in this regard. If MySpace dies, BlueSpace may face related monopoly disputes.

The host went to the next topic naturally, saying: “BTC is now an international company, so as a multinational technology group, in dealing with the relations with the authorities of various countries, especially the North American authorities, you think the biggest What is the challenge?"

This question is not easy to answer. Luo Sheng put down his legs and covered his mouth for a moment, and then said: “As a multinational company, dealing with various regions is not an easy task. We believe that the most important thing is to communicate with them. , Listen to their difficulties, help them solve them, and at the same time tell them the difficulties we are facing, hoping to get their help to solve our difficulties, this is a very good opportunity for communication. This is why we have been able to Reasons for smoothly launching global business."

Come on.

Luo Sheng slandered an extra sentence in his heart. This may be due to one aspect, and it also played a positive role, but the main reason is not because it shares the benefits with Wall Street to go smoothly...

Luo Sheng believes that even if there are many elites on the scene know, no one will speak out directly, because most of these elites work for Wall Street, or their work is directly or indirectly connected to Wall Street. .

The host quickly transitioned to the next topic, saying: "It seems that there are rumors in the industry that Bluestar Technology is going to marry Google in the field of streaming online video. Is this true? Will it happen?"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng was stunned for a while, and said: "What? Really? How come I never got such news."

Luo Sheng really didn’t know the news. He is now the CEO of Bluestar Technology Group. He didn’t know that there was such a thing. It must be false news. After a while, he smiled and said, “But any business that helps us We will all be very excited and interested enough to cooperate with our ideals."

The host smiled and said: "This is an official rumor refutation."

It has to be said that Bluestar Technology and Google are currently the objects of comparison in the Internet technology industry, that is, many people in Silicon Valley are keen to compare them.

The two companies are now in the same echelon in market value, and both are among the top ten listed IT giants. The former is the dominant player in the social network field, and the latter is the king in the search engine field. Both are Internet technology companies with great potential.

After the IPO, Google has also moved towards diversification. The two companies are very similar, and each has a trump card business sector.

Naturally, the two companies will naturally like to be compared by industry insiders.

The interview has come to an end.
