[Look for a monthly ticket, there are three more changes today, the monthly ticket will be updated, and there is also a recommended ticket to vote~~]

——

On January 18, the headquarters of Bluestar Technology.

Zhang Bowen entered Luo Sheng's office and reported to him: "Mr. Luo, there are news from North America, and foreign news agencies have related reports. Amazon founder Jeff Bezos suddenly attacked us."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng was also stunned for a while, looked at Zhang Bowen and said in confusion: "Amazon?"

Zhang Bowen nodded and said: "On the morning of January 17, North American time, according to a report from The New Yorker, Jeff Bezos publicly questioned Bluestar Technology Group’s data collection behavior in the media and suspected that it should be Whether it complies with China’s content review rules and restricts the content viewed by North American users, he also publicly expressed his hope that North American intelligence agencies will investigate whether related overseas applications of Bluestar Technology Group constitute a so-called “national security risk”.”

"In addition, Jeff Bezos also commented that BlueSpace's international version of the BlueSpace social networking site has exceeded 133 million users in North America, accounting for 66.5% of the entire U.S. Internet users. It is a potential counterintelligence threat that cannot be ignored. Based on these concerns, it is hoped that intelligence agencies will assess the national security risks posed by BlueSpace and other content platforms operated by Bluestar Technologies in North America, and report the results to Congress."

So direct?

This is what Luo Sheng hates most, even though he had long expected that Bluestar Technology Group would definitely face such things. Sooner or later, he just didn't expect it to be so fast, let alone Amazon.

"What surprised me was that it was the bald Bezos who jumped out. I thought it would be Google."

Zhang Bowen was quite relaxed when he saw that Luo Sheng heard the news, but he took this issue very seriously, and said anxiously: "Mr. Luo, once this kind of issue comes up, it is very troublesome."

In the eyes of the company’s No. 2 person, Bluestar Technology Group is now facing any competitor who can deal with it calmly and is confident of defeating the opponent, but it will be different if it is faced with the suppression of the North American authorities. So far, 80% of the company's revenue comes from global markets other than Greater China, and the North American market is the largest source of revenue, followed by Europe.

Luo Sheng nodded and said solemnly: "You are right. You must respond to this matter in a timely manner. First, respond as soon as possible. Second, the group company’s board of supervisors must further tighten, and keep an eye on the senior management of those subsidiaries in charge of overseas business. However, external pressure is secondary. The real key to prevent is whether internal executives should cooperate with each other or be caught in law enforcement. Once discovered and verified, the board of supervisors should not hesitate to initiate the removal procedure and then airborne the executives."

The board of supervisors has the right to convene an extraordinary meeting of shareholders without holding a shareholder meeting. Moreover, in Europe and the United States, the board of supervisors has greater powers in a company than in the mainland. Because of this, Luo Sheng can safely hand over the overseas business to him. Fully trusted foreign executives take care of it, but the board of supervisors is absolutely its own.

As long as they don’t get muddled, it’s also difficult for the United States to drive Bluestar Technology out of the North American market. On the one hand, the United States is not as anti-globalization as it was later. Americans are now enjoying the huge dividend period brought about by globalization. 100% support. Secondly, for a company as big as Bluestar Technology Group, moving this company means moving the vested interests of many capital predators on Wall Street.

Although the relationship between Luo Sheng and those friends on Wall Street is not "iron" to the point of being a brother, it is only tied together because of interest, but then again, sometimes the interest is bound. This relationship is even more iron than brothers. .

After explaining a few words, Zhang Bowen left this office to deal with the matter.

As for Bezos's sudden attack, it seems that Bluestar Technology and Amazon have no grievances in the past and recently, but Luo Sheng quickly understands it after a little thought.

The reason lies in cloud computing services!

Obviously, Amazon is anxious. Luo Sheng budgeted US$5.6 billion to invest in cloud computing services. Although Amazon is the first company to launch elastic computing cloud services, Bluestar Technology is only a few years away. Follow up immediately after a month.

Not only that, the investment scale is even fifteen times that of Amazon.

You know, the current market value of Bluestar Technology has reached 150 billion U.S. dollars, while Amazon's current market value is only 15.7 billion U.S. dollars. In terms of market value, the volume is nearly ten times that of Amazon.

Luo Sheng has invested 5.6 billion US dollars into the cloud computing service field, and the company's current cash flow still has 12.8 billion US dollars, Amazon simply can't fight it.

The super-large scale of cloud computing services is destined to be a large investment project. The current Amazon is not the Amazon whose market value was once more than one trillion US dollars in the previous life. The current Amazon company is the real brother in front of Bluestar Technology.

Jeff Bezos wanted to stop Luo Sheng's crazy expansion, but he couldn't fight for his positive strength, so he started playing Zhengzhi card when he was impatient.

Luo Sheng had long expected this situation to happen, so he was not surprised at all, let alone nervous. Every money the company made in North America was clean, and he was always waiting for the FBI to come.

But having said that, everything has two sides, and it may not be a bad thing from another angle. To some extent, this is a good publicity opportunity for Bluestar Technology Group.

In the afternoon of the next day, Zhang Bowen hosted a temporary media conference to respond and make a statement to Jeff Bezos' remarks.

[Hua Guo Zhengfu has never asked its major platforms to delete any content. It will not in the past, will not now, and will not in the future]

[About data and information security.The data of all North American users is stored in North America, and database backup systems are established in Singapore and Switzerland. The data center is completely outside the jurisdiction of China, and these data will not be subject to the laws of China.

This matter has aroused heated discussions in the domestic and foreign media, and the statements of Bluestar Technology Group have also been quoted and reported by the media. Especially in the Mainland, the heated discussions on this topic have become more popular.

Luo Sheng rarely speaks in public, but it does not mean that he does not speak. This time he also commented on his personal media account and specially posted several blog posts on the international version of MicroBlog.

[Some of Jeff’s remarks are obviously unfounded and irresponsible slander. His description of Bluestar Technology’s entry into the North American market clearly has no reason. On the contrary, we have prepared a large budget to build large-scale data in North America. Center, providing better network services and data security.In fact, the effectiveness rate we bring to advertisers is much higher than that of Google, because there are no such products on the market.Obviously, Jeff wanted to kill Bluestar Technology, but he would not succeed.

After the blog post edited by Luo Sheng was published, the attention was even higher. The media reprinted reports one after another. Some media even exaggeratedly modified Bluestar Technology and Amazon. The two tech giants openly tore each other, Luo Sheng and Jeff. Bezos gave birth to Liangzi or something.

But the interesting thing is that something interesting happened.

Luo Sheng sent out this tweet in the evening. He logged in to the blog post edited by MicroBlog's APP through the blue mobile phone. After clicking send, he threw the phone aside and went to sleep.

In North America, it was in broad daylight, and just about six hours after the blog post was posted, a Silicon Valley technology expert left a comment under his blog post. This message only had three question marks.

???

This boss is surprisingly one of Google’s co-founders Larry Page. He also has a social media account and has been registered for MicroBlog for a long time, and he has passed the celebrity certification. However, there are not many fans. Luo Sheng is better than his less.

A blog post by Luo Sheng also blew up Larry Page, and things became more and more interesting. Netizens who follow the science and technology sector are also the masters who watch the excitement and are not too big, and they leave messages in low voices.

"It's another famous scene in the science and technology world where big coffees are popular with each other, but this time it is not Jobs and Gates."

"So what exactly do Page's three question marks mean?"

"Page: What do you care about me when you quarrel?"

"It is recommended that Bluestar Technology simply acquire Amazon, and then fire Jeff, or send him to bookstores to sell books, as an administrator or something. As one of the largest Internet technology companies in the world, there should be no problem in acquiring Amazon. , Although I admit it’s a bit rough..."

The number of messages slowly increased, and Luo Sheng also gained a lot of fans. Most of the netizens who eat melons expressed their distress for Google, which is lying in a gun.

The industry is also paying close attention. Some people in the tech circle in Silicon Valley also jumped out to support Amazon and said:

[If there are no more Amazons to take action, then we will all face a cruel future. One person, one company, one platform will be the only choice, which is too bad.]

Originally, the media still received much attention from the media, and netizens who eat melons are also happy to see it. They also hope that the two sides can be more aggressive.

Back then, the two celebrities, Jobs and Gates, tore each other, the scene and the smell of gunpowder are more than that.

However, Luo Sheng did not continue to pay attention to this matter, because at the moment, Wall Street has almost entered the calm before the storm.
