Global monopoly of technology

Bluestar Technology Group reached a strategic cooperation with IBM, and Luo Sheng personally came out to weave a brand-new conceptual term "cloud computing" and supported this field.

His current reputation and influence in the industry, whether in China or in Silicon Valley, is a big-name influence. Even if it is not important, as an industry insider, if a company like Google ignores his opinion, it is absolutely wrong. Unwise low-level mistakes.

In fact, none of these giants will make such low-level mistakes.

Except Yahoo.

With the end of Pengcheng’s IT forum, Mr. Ma asked Ali’s internal business department to focus on cloud computing-related topics. With Ari’s current financial resources and scale, last year, Ari has already put Yahoo in the Greater China region. Incorporating the business into its subsidiary is equivalent to obtaining Yahoo's $1 billion financing.

Obviously, Ari can definitely enter the cloud computing field, but he can't play with such a big deal as Luo Sheng.

However, Tengxun and Baidu did not pay much attention to cloud computing services. They are right to agree with this concept, but they are not optimistic that Luo Sheng's original blueprint can be realized now and in the foreseeable future.

Therefore, the two companies have no plans to enter the field of cloud computing, at least for now, including the next five years.

They are also happy to see what is going on with Luo Sheng before talking.

On the international front, Jeff Bezos, who is in charge of Amazon, has become more determined and is vigorously lobbying for market financing to obtain more funds to invest in cloud computing services.

Google subsequently announced that it would join, investing $500 million to test the waters.

Microsoft also announced its entry into the field of cloud computing services, and it also spent $300 million to find a way out.

It can be said that so far only Luo Sheng and Jeff Bezos have made firm investments, because Amazon, as an e-commerce company, has a large amount of e-commerce data very useful, and Jeff has seen the value of one of the entire industry chains. , And cloud computing services are the key.

...

After entering May, the media in the industry frequently reported on cloud computing. Some industry insiders joked that Luo Sheng might become a "martyr" rhythm. Those giants following him are smart, like Luo Sheng. A fool is probing the path ahead.

For some short-sighted remarks, Luo Sheng doesn't care. They seem to forget that the pioneers who can achieve great success in this world are either fools or lunatics who follow fools.

After seeing the actions of Google and Microsoft in the field of cloud computing services, Luo Sheng was inexplicably relieved. If these companies also followed up with large investments, Luo Sheng would still be a little stressed.

After all, whether it is Google or Microsoft, their current size and financial strength are actually stronger than the current Bluestar Technology, and they are a technology company in North America, which is an advantage that Luo Sheng does not have. The land of North America is a total outsider.

However, the matter of cloud computing has made IBM the first to benefit, and even the involved IBM company did not expect it.

There is no doubt that since entering the new century, Luo Sheng has set off the first wave of cloud computing services, which gave IBM a huge opportunity.

IBM has been blown up by the cloud computing trend, and its market value has soared all the way to over 140 billion U.S. dollars, and is now second only to Microsoft.

The strategic cooperation with Bluestar Technology has played a key role, and after May, as major giants have invested in cloud computing, large or small, this has made hardware companies such as IBM and Intel not calm.

Having tasted the sweetness of IBM, its head Samuel Palmisano is now "unswervingly" publicly supporting cloud computing, and it has been advocating.

It can be said that IBM is currently the biggest beneficiary and has reached important cooperation with two major players in the field of cloud computing services, namely Bluestar Technology Group and Amazon.

...

Mid-May.

The headquarters of Bluestar Technology Group, Luo Sheng's office.

"Mr. Luo, there is a little trouble in North America." Zhang Bowen came to his office and came to report to Luo Sheng as soon as he received the news from there.

"What's the trouble?" Luo Sheng asked.

"The North American authorities stuck our necks on the grounds of data security, and refused to allow the 4 data centers we are building in North America to enter the market on the grounds of data security." Zhang Bowen explained.

Hearing this news, Luo Sheng was stunned for a while, but he recovered but there was not much psychological fluctuation, which is not surprising at all.

When Lao Meifang Bluestar Technology entered the North American market, it never thought it would grow at such a rapid rate to where it is today. Many of its websites BlueSpace, Reddit, MicroBlog, etc. have monopolized North American social networks. Already more than one-third of Internet users cannot do without these Internet social products.

Zhang Bowen couldn't help but admire: "It's still President Luo who is far-sighted, split and reorganized ahead of time, and split the main business segment into two, divided into domestic and international versions."

If Americans knew that there would be today's situation, it would not have been so easy for Bluestar Technology to enter the North American market. Now it is too difficult to drive Bluestar Technology out.

Lao Mei cannot be unscrupulous.

The BlueSpace social networking site has been targeted by North American authorities when it broke 100 million users in North America. At that time, it began to figure out how to kill Bluestar technology, including non-economic means.

However, Luo Sheng had already had this awareness early on. For this reason, he split and reorganized the company, adjusted the business sector, and raised a super luxurious legal team. At the same time, the parent company has a top-down board of supervisors. The whole set of systematic layout ensures that oneself does not commit two so as to give the other party a chance.

Lao Mei is now worried about Bluestar Technology's mistakes, even a small mistake will be magnified and become an excuse for sanctions.

Even go fishing secretly.

It is certainly not enough to do nothing. Luo Sheng actively introduces Wall Street capital. If you look at the current equity structure of Bluestar Technology Group, you will find that Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Citigroup are all listed. , The first one is more scary than the other, Bluestar Technology has their vested interests, and Bluestar Technology is now getting bigger and bigger, and their interests are getting bigger and bigger.

Wall Street cares about only one thing... that is profit, and everything else can give way to it, and those who stand in the way will be crushed without hesitation, explicit, secret, begging, borrowing or stealing. .

As long as Bluestar Technology Group does not speak truthfully in the North American market, and fully utilizes local rules, it is now difficult to be kicked out of this market.

Zhang Bowen said: "There is another thing very funny to say. This news was revealed yesterday. Guess what Luo President? The company's stock has risen by 2%, can you believe it?"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng was also stunned for a while, and couldn't help but smile when he reacted, saying: "It seems that the market and investors are still stubbornly not optimistic about our move in the cloud computing field."

Otherwise, how could the company's stock rise abnormally by 2% because of this news?

Because the North American authorities do not approve it, you have four large data centers that can’t be built, which is equivalent to saving a third of the cost in the field of cloud computing, so of course the stock will rise.

Zhang Bowen added: "When it comes to stocks, IBM's stock plunged 3.57% instead, evaporating 5 billion US dollars."

Luo Sheng said calmly: "There is no need to worry about this matter. I think IBM is more anxious than us. They are now the first beneficiaries. IBM will definitely not pay us a penalty for this matter and will The computing business is handed over to Intel or Dell, and whoever has the interest will care."

This time, Bluestar Technology signed a ten-year strategic cooperation agreement with IBM. This is a huge profit for IBM. The total value of this strategic contract is US$40 billion. IBM has no reason to refuse.

Bluestar Technology defaulted to pay a astronomical US$3 billion in liquidated damages, while IBM defaulted to pay Bluestar Technology US$1 billion. Although only one-third, it is an astronomical figure.

For IBM, liquidated damages are not the key. The key is a strategic contract worth 40 billion US dollars.

The entanglement here is even more complicated. IBM's shareholding structure has now confirmed that its largest shareholder is the stock god Barfit, and there are other Wall Street investment banks, including Goldman Sachs and Morgan, who have complicated interests in it.
