Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 175 [Peppa wants to light a fire in Luo Sheng's backyard (monthly ticket plus more)]

(Chrysanthemum has been exploded, ask for monthly ticket to explode~~)

——

On the same day, in the western hemisphere late at night, the Los Angeles Special Telegraph delivered a financial report issued by Bluestar Technology Group in the middle of the night, which awakened countless stockholders and investors.

According to the financial report, the total revenue of Bluestar Technology in the first quarter of this year reached US$1.58 billion, a year-on-year increase of 263% from US$434 million in the same period last year. The chain growth rate also reached 33%, far exceeding analysts’ expectations.

Operating profit in the first quarter reached 428 million U.S. dollars, 135 times higher than the 3.17 million U.S. dollars in the same period last year; net profit was 247 million U.S. dollars, nearly 138 times higher than the 1.79 million U.S. dollars in the same period last year.

79.4% of the total revenue in the first quarter came from advertising revenue, 73.5% of the total revenue came from the BlueSpace operating business segment, and over 83.2% of the total revenue came from overseas markets.

The proportion of overseas revenue has reached a new high, more than 80% compared with last year, and the proportion of advertising revenue has dropped to 80% for the first time.

The change in the revenue ratio of this quarter has a major factor in the game business of the Bluestar Technology Group. The performance of the three game companies acquired last year all performed well, of which the most eye-catching performance is Take-Two, especially the representative work of its subsidiary R Star The "GTA" series is selling well and has won many gold rocker awards in the industry.

Take-Two completed the company's adjustment under Luo Sheng's suggestion and quickly got out of the predicament. It took off directly this year, and its current market value has exceeded 2 billion US dollars.

The G-fat Valve company is joining the Bluestar Technology Group's array, and has ushered in a big explosion in the past year. Because Valve has gained access to the two major social networking sites, BlueSpace and MicroBlog, the number of users on the Steam game platform has skyrocketed. It is the entry bonus from the BlueSpace website, because the accurate push effect is outstanding.

As of 2006, data on the Steam platform showed that there had been 77.5 million user registrations, which made Microsoft quite regretful. You must know that G Fat went to his old company to do Steam, but turned it down because he couldn't understand it.

Now it has become an online game store on the PC side, and more and more small and medium-sized third-party game developers release games on this platform.

The rise of Steam has grown to a force that can not be underestimated in the game industry. Major game manufacturers in the world are paying attention to it. The key is that there is a technology giant behind it, which is very important.

After tasting the sweetness of Bluestar Technology's A-level entrance, G Fat said that it shouldn't be too fragrant. G Fat is not fat now, and then began to be fed by players to get fatter, and it is evolving towards real G Fat.

The sudden emergence of V agency in a short period of time has made Sony, Microsoft and other first parties feel threatened. The PC side has robbed the profits, so the growth of the console sales must have an impact, and the market will be so big.

What they are most worried about now is that the 3A masterpiece will land on the Steam platform, or even be exclusive. Although the PC hardware and entertainment attributes are not as good as the game console, the technology has been improving. These big companies are looking at the future trend.

Once an explosive model comes out, the impact it will bring is not tickling it. This is where the first parties such as Sony and Microsoft are really afraid.

Obviously, Luo Sheng won again.

When he acquired these game companies last year, he was generally questioned by the industry, and now those who questioned have honestly shut their mouths, or conversely praised them.

From the perspective of business investment, the money Luo Sheng spent last year was a rhythm of making a lot of blood.

And Luo Sheng’s third overseas game company "Polish Donkey" CDProjektRed, after obtaining investment and no financial difficulties, is now developing two games vigorously, one is released at E3 in 2004 Demo" and the other is the first work in the "Witcher" series. Both games are scheduled to be officially released next year.

Although "Polish dumb donkey" is not as eye-catching as Valve or TakeTwo at present, given Luo Sheng's personal effects, this company is now also attracting attention in the industry.

The three game companies acquired by Luo Sheng have been in a state of stocking since they smashed the money out and merged into the Bluestar Technology Group's territory. They have not interfered with any of their operations. For example, Valve has also given A-level entrances to the drainage.

This shocked the game people who originally thought it was the second Vivendi. Dare to be an angel, not a demon?

...

The financial report for the first quarter revealed that stockholders regained their confidence in Bluestar Technology Group, and stimulating the rise of BTC's stock price is a no-brainer.

Due to the time difference, the Western Hemisphere was one day late. On April 17th, the Nasdaq opened on schedule in the Western Hemisphere, and Bluestar Technology’s stock jumped and opened. The stock rose 14.9% that day, and its market value soared to US$79.97 billion , Surpassing Dell and Apple again, second only to Samsung Electronics.

Luo Sheng used facts to prove one point to the market and investors, believing that he has made a lot of money, and doubted him, basically lost, and even lost his underwear.

Entering mid-to-late April, major listed companies have also released their own financial reports. Google has not announced audited financial reports, but its chief financial officer George Reyes said on Friday, April 21, that advertising revenue growth The momentum will slow down.

Affected by this news, Google's stock price fell by 27.76 US dollars per share on Friday to close at 362.62 US dollars, a 7.11% drop.

Reyes subsequently spoke at an investor conference, saying that Google's growth depends on the future acquisition of new users or entering new markets, rather than the improvement of the existing online search advertising business.

According to the latest data, the online search advertising business accounts for 97.5% of Google’s sales, which is far more than that of Bluestar Technology.

On April 23, Google finally announced its first quarter earnings.

Unlike most listed companies, Google has always pursued a strategy of not providing performance targets. Bluestar Technology Group also does not provide performance targets, and does not want the company to blindly pursue profits and get lost in it. This is Luo Sheng and Page Surprisingly unanimous consensus.

Similarly, the stock prices of the two companies are easily affected by performance expectations or forecasts. After the release of Google’s first quarter earnings report, the performance failed to meet analyst expectations, resulting in a 19% drop in stock prices, which can be described as a big plunge.

This is the first time since its listing in August 2004 that Google’s profits have fallen below Wall Street analysts’ expectations. Since its listing, Google’s stock has risen by more than 400%, reaching a maximum of $475 per share.

This sharp drop also dropped Google's market value from second in the world's top ten technology companies in the IT field to sixth. The first five companies are Microsoft, IBM, Intel, Cisco, and Samsung Electronics.

Google ranked sixth with 112.6 billion U.S. dollars, and Bluestar Technology Group is behind Google. Since the gap opened on April 17, BTC stocks have grown fiercely this week, reaching 87.2 billion U.S. dollars. .

Behind the Bluestar Technology Group are Apple, Dell and Yahoo.

The market value of Google is getting closer and closer, and the market value of Apple is getting further and further away. Maybe the second quarter of this year may surpass Google's rhythm. This is possible.

Obviously, Google’s operating income is heavily dependent on advertising, and Yahoo and Microsoft are catching up, not to mention the Bluestar Technology Group, which went public this year. Bluestar Technology is the biggest threat to Google.

Although the stock price plummeted for some time due to the storm of heavy investment in cloud computing services, the first quarter earnings report was completed on the same day as the big counterattack.

As the newly emerging world's top Internet giants, the two companies are often compared by Silicon Valley and Wall Street, and are hailed by Silicon Valley as the "gemini" companies of IT rookies.

Obviously, the eye-catching performance of Bluestar Technology is also an indirect blow to Google.

It is worth mentioning that the revenue of Bluestar Technology, advertising business still occupies an absolute proportion, and the financial report just disclosed shows that the proportion has dropped significantly compared with the past.

However, the operating income did not drop but rose sharply. This is the most eye-catching place.

There is no doubt that Yahoo and Microsoft's catch-up is secondary, and Bluestar Technology Group is the key to great pressure on Google.

But Google will never sit still.

At the end of April, Larry Page very decisively burned the fire to Luo Sheng's back garden. Google began frequent contacts with BlueSpace's competitor, the second in the industry, MySpace.

This has also attracted the attention of Bluestar Technology.

Obviously, Peppa's attempt to light the fire in Luo Sheng's backyard was an undisguised rhythm.
