Global monopoly of technology

Luo Sheng worked at the Blue Coast Company for three hours. Today’s work is basically completed. After leaving here, I went to the next door Bluestar Technology to handle the work. Fortunately, it’s so close that I can reach another company’s office in less than ten minutes. Sat down.

For the global Internet community in March 2008, a significant event happened, which is of historical significance.

That is, the number of Internet users in China officially surpassed the United States by about 226 million, becoming the world's largest Internet user country or single market, and it is growing at an extremely exaggerated rate. From the beginning of 2005 to the end of 2007, China The number of Internet users in China has almost doubled, and in the following years it is even more exaggerated, adding 100 million users almost a year.

Luo Sheng's original argument with VCs during the financing period has now come true. Sure enough, in 2008, Greater China became the world's largest single market for Internet users.

Backed by the world’s largest single market for the Internet, even if it faces a total ban in North America in the future, neither Bluestar Technology Group nor the Blue Coast Company can die, and can even maintain the size of a world-class giant.

Because this market is really too big, too big, so big that even a single market can produce a monster-level company with a size of 400 billion US dollars.

Ten years later, goods from all over the world want to be sold in Greater China. Even Hollywood movies have hit the streets in North America. The panties that were originally going to lose out have been lost, but they can just rely on the Greater China market to make money back. You can even make a small profit.

It can be seen that this market is so huge that multinational companies all over the world will be charmed by it.

Market size is a kind of right to speak, and it has strong bargaining power.

After Luo Sheng came to the headquarters of Bluestar Technology Group, he stayed in the office for a few minutes and then attended a meeting.

He spends half of his current working time in various meetings every day. The company's plates are so big, it is not an exaggeration to report to him on the operation of major business segments, at least one and a half will be spent. Hours, this is fairly fast.

Then we still need to think about decision-making. We still have to discuss before decision-making. Luo Sheng actually doesn't like meetings very much. He has no choice but to sit in this position.

At this moment, the meeting attended is aimed at the two subsidiaries of Bluestar Technology Group's streaming media online video business, mainly discussing some situations of the international version of BV video network.

Zhang Bowen sitting in the conference room opened a document and flipped through it. At Luo Sheng’s request, the company’s internal use of PPT is prohibited. Everyone must use the original way of note-taking. The PPT looks tall to outsiders, but in Luo Sheng In his eyes it was purely Hu Li's fancy stuff.

It's a waste of time. To put it bluntly, PPT is for people who don't know how to read it, so that they can understand it. However, as practitioners, they also engage in PPT in meetings themselves. It is formalism. Don't you still understand when you are in this industry?Still use PPT?What's the use of that?The get out of class is over.

Facts have proved that the original way of taking notes is more efficient and accurate.

At this time, Zhang Bowen stared down at the material report and said: "In the online video business, the global user volume of the international version of the BV video website has reached 475 million. The bandwidth cost last year was about 322 million US dollars, and this year is likely to lose money. 500 million dollars."

This is a network fee that has discouraged countless Internet companies. It is only for the international version, and the domestic version is separately calculated. Last year's bandwidth cost expenditure was about 1.18 billion yuan ($168 million).

Even more exaggerated is the data of the entire group company. The Bluestar Technology Group currently accounts for at least 8% of the entire Internet traffic, and it uses a large number of optical cables, which is quite scary.

In the online video business segment of Bluestar Technology Group last year, the combined annual revenue of the domestic version and the international version was 1.258 billion US dollars, but 85% of the revenue came from the international version. Luo Sheng now dare not be at this time. The domestic version does not even consider a specific profit plan in the next three to five years. Once the domestic version engages in a paid model, current users will quickly abandon Bluestar Video.

95% of the US$1.258 billion in revenue comes from advertising revenue. Basically, Bluestar Technology Group now lives by selling advertising.

However, this does not mean that Bluestar Technology is an advertising company without core technology. Nuclear power plants are not fancy boiling water for power generation. Is it because this thing is boiling water for power generation, not cutting-edge technology?

Last year, the operating cost of the group company’s streaming video business was as high as US$1.579 billion, not only for operators to pay high bandwidth fees, but also to remove the costs of advertising partners and video producers, including advertising with video UP owners. The alliance is divided.

How popular is the international version of BV videos overseas?

It has become a large dream base for countless ordinary people, and a private star dream factory.

You can directly register a BV account, but most people like to use the BlueSpace social chain to authorize and become a BV video UP owner, dreaming of becoming famous online, creating hot videos, gaining fame and fortune, and even entering the entertainment industry from then on.

For example, there was a typical example at the beginning of this year. A 14-year-old Canadian teenager named Justin Bieber was discovered by his agent Scott on the BV video website, and then played the role of Arthur and Justin. Timberlake two North American superstars robbed each other, and finally Justin Bieber chose Arthur Kid to enter the European and American music scene.

Some folk singers will also make music and simple MV videos and upload them to the BV video website.

Nowadays, thousands of UPs have become full-time people who specialize in producing videos, and they rely on the revenue of advertising alliances to earn income. Some top UP owners have even become millionaires. They started as individuals and later established studios. The team continues to operate.

Bluestar technology family bucket is indispensable. The photo sharing site must have BlueSpace, the real-time information sharing publishing window has a microblog post, MicroBlog, and any grievances on the Internet will go to Reddit, music or other things will go to MusicSpace, and video sharing It's BV.

Bluestar Technology is getting closer and closer to the mission of linking all mankind. In short, people find that as long as they go online, they must not avoid using Bluestar Technology products. At least one of its "family buckets" can be used Open online.

These products with strong social attributes are also highly interlinked, which can bring considerable income and encourage more people to participate.

It is no exaggeration to say that in today's Bluestar Technology Group, hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people in its major business segments directly or indirectly rely on Bluestar Technology, and many of them are still alive and moist.

Once Bluestar Technology has a problem, they will all have to lose their jobs or their income will cause huge fluctuations. In a sense, is this not an umbrella for Bluestar Technology?It can be seen how difficult it is for the technology giant to move Luo Sheng now.

Participating Zhang Bowen continued to report: "According to the latest report released by Compete, it is very close to our internal data. In February of this year, the international version of the BV video site was still the video site with the highest click-through rate and the largest number of independent users in the United States. 54.1% market share of video sites in the United States."

Luo Sheng, who was sitting in the chair of the conference, had one hand on his hips, and one hand resting his chin and elbow on the tabletop. He said nothing, just nodded.

With a market share of more than half of the US market, this is the advantage of seizing the outlet.

Zhang Bowen turned a page of material and said:

"In February, the number of online video views across the United States reached 11.8 billion, compared with BV videos which accounted for one-third of the total. On average, each user watched 40.71 videos on BV videos, compared with the previous month. The share rose by 2.7%, accounting for about 34.5% of the total number of videos."

"In February, more than 151 million American Internet users watched videos online. The average time they spent per person was about 210 minutes. In this regard, BV video sites still attract the most viewers, reaching 92.1 million. These users spent an average of 119.52 minutes watching videos."

"In February of this year, the traffic of video websites across the United States increased by about 4.2% compared to the previous month. In addition, the top five websites with the most independent users were BluestarVideo, GoogleVideo, Yahoo! Video, AOL-Video and Microsoft."

After reporting the data, Zhang Bowen looked at Luo Sheng. The latter did not immediately speak. After a while, he nodded and said: "The development momentum is good. Within three to five years, the number of users of the international BV video website can be updated. Doubled, reaching the scale of 700 or 800 million."

The executives present at the meeting have now become stronger in their hearts. Everyone has become accustomed to Luo Sheng’s big-mouthed arguments, and no one has jumped out to question him, because those who question him now have all four faces without exception. It's swollen, the top two and the bottom two.

But deep down in my heart, I was still very excited. An executive couldn't help but exclaimed: "Eight hundred million magnitude...!"

Luo Sheng glanced at him: "You said that eight hundred million? That's the ambition? What if I say two billion in ten years?"

When everyone heard it, their eyes suddenly rounded...

This……
