Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 295 The Beginning and End of the Robbery Battle and the Deadly Invisible Display of Riches

"Master, Mr. Lu Qi is here."

At the Science and Technology Complex, Xiaona’s voice came to Luo Sheng’s ears. The latter immediately put aside the affairs at hand and said, “Give him here.”

Luo Sheng's move seems to be very important to this person, joking, this is the talent he has spent a lot of energy to compete with Microsoft.

Cortana: "Okay."

On the other side, at the entrance of the Science and Technology Complex, a middle-aged man in a formal suit and glasses came here. What made him stunned for a while, the door opened automatically when he arrived at the entrance and a voice came out:

"Welcome, Mr. Lu, Mr. Luo is already waiting for you, please follow my guidance to come in."

After Lu Qi was stunned for a while, he was surprised to hear the girl's cute electronic sound. He immediately followed the guidance sound with surprise.

After all, it was playing science and technology. This was the first time Lu Qi came to Luo Sheng's private house. It didn't take a moment for him to realize that the building was hosted by a powerful artificial intelligence system.

Lu Qi, this is one of the legendary figures in the IT industry. Luo Sheng spent nine years and two tigers last year to invite him to the Bluestar Technology Group as the top person in charge of cloud computing services.

This person's resume can be said to be comparable to few people in the entire IT industry. What's more important is that the talent who made Silicon Valley IT giants berserk is a Chinese.

Lu Qi graduated from Fu University with a bachelor's degree and a master's degree in computer science. After graduation, he stayed on to teach at the school. In 1992, he studied at Carnegie Mellon University in the United States. He graduated in 1996 with a doctorate in computer science and continued his post-doctorate at CMU. Research, in addition to research papers in academia, also holds 40 US patents, and is considered the savior of Microsoft's search engine.

Lu Qi then joined IBM's Almden Research Laboratory and worked for two years.

He joined Yahoo in 1998, was appointed as Yahoo’s senior vice president in 2006, and was promoted to Yahoo’s executive vice president in 2007.

And just last year, when Lu Qi resigned as executive vice president of Yahoo, it caused a major earthquake in the global IT industry. After learning the news of his departure from Yahoo, the Silicon Valley technology giants almost all threw an olive branch to him.

They have been invited to take the lead.

In Luo Sheng's previous life, Lu Qi, who left Yahoo, joined Microsoft. Later, he resigned as Microsoft's global vice president and joined Whiteness. The 500-day entry took 500 days for Whiteness, which had fallen to more than 40 billion US dollars at the time. It has reached a market value of 96 billion US dollars in time, and the market value has risen by 100 million dollars a day on average!

Nowadays, Bluestar Technology, one of the global IT giants, will certainly not be absent in this battle for people. Luo Sheng also joined the battle without hesitation.

Some people even said with a smile: Lu Qi is unemployed alone, and the global IT industry is broken.

It is already a legend to be able to do this. Every time his resignation will trigger a battle for people in the industry. When he resigned as executive vice president of Yahoo, Yahoo Chief Yang shed tears on the spot. At the farewell party, Yang told everyone All of the engineers put on the same T-shirt and wrote on it: I used to work with Lu Qi, how about you?

How fierce is this robbery battle that Luo Sheng participated in?

More than eight world-renowned IT giants offered an olive branch to Lu Qi, who left Yahoo. Among them, Google, IBM, Microsoft and Bluestar Technology were the most intense. In the end, Google and IBM were defeated, not to mention the others.

So the industry is paying attention to whether Lu Qi will follow Luo Sheng or follow Gates.

The CEO of Microsoft strongly invited and declared what business Lu Qi wanted to do. Microsoft would go and do a business for him, or if he left Yahoo, he could take a vacation for one or two years, and then come back to serve as the chief technology officer. Microsoft just waited and paid an annual salary. It was still given during the vacation, and the current CTO was withdrawn immediately.

Even given an extremely attractive position-Microsoft Global Executive Vice President.

If Lu Qi joins Microsoft, this will be the highest position ever obtained by Chinese in the global technology field.

And Bluestar Technology is also unambiguous. In this robbing battle, Luo Sheng also promised that as long as he joins Bluestar Technology, he will do whatever business he wants to do. At the same time, he promised that as long as Lu Qi thinks, the global company The vice president gives it.

In a word, Microsoft can not only give me Bluestar Technology, but it must be higher than Microsoft.

If Lu Qi really wants to take up this position, Luo Sheng will dismiss his CEO position without hesitation, and then promote Zhang Bowen, the current global executive vice president of Bluestar Technology, to become CEO, and the vacated position will be given to Lu Qi, who is airborne. In charge.

Although Zhang Bowen is not as good as Lu Qi's resume, and his reputation in the IT industry is slightly weaker, there is no doubt about his ability, and now he is also a famous bigwig in the industry.

They are all talents. It is impossible for Luo Sheng to squeeze Zhang Bowen out when he asks for Lu Qi. At the same time, it is also in order to avoid the group's internal high-level intrigue. Such a major top-level structural adjustment will always require someone to leave get out of class to give way.

To be willing, to be willing to have gain.

Luo Sheng's choice was simple, so he could simply dismiss the get out of class by himself. He was the most suitable candidate.

He has long wanted to get rid of the heavy operation and management, and resigning as CEO will not have any impact on his actual control of Bluestar Technology, because he is also the chairman of Bluestar Technology Group.

The control of the first floor of the Sanhui is only released from the position of the top management. He can still decide who will be the top leader.

In the end, Microsoft was defeated in this battle, and Bluestar Technology Group won.

In the industry, in Silicon Valley, no one thinks that Bluestar Technology Group is weaker than Microsoft. Now they are the top technology giants in the global IT industry, and they exist in the same echelon.

Whether joining Microsoft or Bluestar Technology, many people think that Lu Qi is a high climb.

But Luo Sheng felt that Bluestar Technology made it, and made it himself.

After the dust of this robbing battle, Microsoft still did not give up. In order to leave a good impression, the current head of Microsoft Ballmer posted on his personal MicroBlog:

"Compared to the cost of hiring Lu Qi and acquiring Yahoo, we can spend $39.9 billion less."

This means that in 2007, Microsoft wanted to acquire Yahoo and launched a series of negotiations for this.

As a result, the negotiation failed.

Nevertheless, Microsoft CEO Ballmer got another surprise by accident, and he met Lu Qi in the process.

Only then did Lu Qi resign in 2008, and Silicon Valley IT giants have staged a scene of grabbing people.

But Silicon Valley lost.

Lu Qi chose to return to China to work for a mainland technology company. He joined the Bluestar Technology Group. He immediately joined the Bluestar Technology Group Board of Directors and became the company’s director and global vice president. However, there were no two “executives” before him. Word, there are more than one or two vice presidents within the company, but there is only one executive vice president, currently Zhang Bowen.

In addition, Lu Qi also served as the person in charge of the cloud computing project of Bluestar Technology Group. As the president of Bluestar Technology’s online business department, Lu Qi was in charge of the most important business department of the group company after landing, in charge of a cloud of more than 10,000 people. The technical and operational team in service can directly report to CEO Luo Sheng.

Lu Qi has this ability. This is an executive who combines senior professional technical knowledge, outstanding leadership skills and extensive business knowledge. He is a very rare talent in the industry.

...

At this time, Lu Qi entered the science and technology complex. No one took him along the way, but was guided by Xiaona.

This is his first time here. He has also been to Gates’ private house, which is also full of technological elements. Compared with Gates’ mansion, he found that Luo Sheng’s private house contains a sense of technology. There is nothing worse than it is.

A few minutes later, Lu Qi came to a private office and saw Luo Sheng here.

Lu Qi was quite surprised. His attention was attracted by the display cabinet on the wall in front of Luo Sheng. At this moment, Luo Sheng was wearing a pair of rubber gloves and work goggles, using a pair of tweezers to hold a thumb the size of The objects are placed in a grid of a display cabinet on the wall.

Although he didn't look back, he already knew when Lu Qi came into this room.

"How about Lao Lu? This display cabinet on the wall collects the entities of all the known elements on the earth except radioactive elements and arranges them in the order of the periodic table." Luo Sheng put the tweezers aside, He took off his rubber gloves and patted his hands, turned around and asked Lu Qi to sit down next to him.

This wall in the office is the periodic table of elements. Look at the layout of the display cabinets. As long as you have seen the picture of the periodic table, you can see that the display cabinets on the wall are the same as the periodic table on the book. The array layout is exactly the same, and each grid is marked.

Lu Qi felt that the value of this wall was conservatively estimated to be about one or two billion. This is Chi Guoguo's show off his wealth, and he is so dazzling.

For example, No. 45 element rhodium, which is an essential element for surface treatment in the modern gem production process, does not sound cheap, and its price is about 2.4 million yuan per kilogram.

The more expensive platinum that ordinary people can think of, that is, element 78, costs about 190,000 to 560,000 yuan per kilogram, and its value can only be ranked to the middle level in the entire periodic table.

More exaggerated, such as "californium", a synthetic radioactive element, when the value of one gram was the most expensive, it reached an unprecedented $1 billion. Even if the price is not so exaggerated today, it will cost $27 million, which is the most expensive in nature. element.

However, the wall display cabinet does not have any radioactive elements, that is the rhythm of death.

Of course, not all elements are expensive to make people speechless. The cheaper elements, like element 58 used as flint, cost only seven or eight yuan per kilogram.

After Luo Sheng sat down, he personally visited two cups of tea, but Lu Qi, who was sitting across from him, was still looking at the wall and jokingly said: "The invisible display of wealth by the richest man (in the mainland) is really unique."

This fuxian is too deadly...

"Haha..." I couldn't help laughing and laughing: "Speaking of collecting things, rich people might collect famous cars, watches, luxury houses, it's too clichéd and intolerable... So I collect elements. If you are a stamp collector , Then you will probably never own all the stamps, but the collection elements are different. Each element has a grid. Just put the corresponding things in."

It sounds simple, but it's really easy to do... In fact, it's quite simple, as long as you have a lot of small money.

After a while, Luo Sheng found that Lu Qi was looking at the wall with great interest from time to time, and suddenly said with a smile: "I think you are moved by your heart, so I will give you a copy in two days."

Lu Qi was stunned for a while, and said, "Forget it, this thing is too expensive, I will play it myself."

Luo Sheng shook his head and smiled: "No, no, although it is the same, but the one you give is different from the one you made. It's just your one-year salary, which is not expensive and not as many as the year-end bonus."

The way the rich play, the poor are all limited by poverty.

Lu Qi readily accepted. After joining Bluestar Technology, his annual salary is not considered as an option for equity incentives. The annual salary alone is 175 million yuan, which is the highest salary in the entire group company so far.

Zhang Bowen's current annual salary is only 119 million, and Yao Jianhong's annual salary has risen to 80 million. Therefore, Lu Qi, who has joined for almost a year, is the first "working emperor" under Luo Sheng's seat.

On the contrary, Luo Sheng himself is now taking a symbolic salary of 1 yuan, and this gameplay is becoming more and more popular in the industry.
