Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 306 Highly-anticipated Press Conference

With the establishment of Shengfeng Capital, Luo Shengdi positioned this company as a strategic investment company.

It is a very critical part of the "spare tire plan". The purpose of its establishment is to create a domestic semiconductor industry chain that is not restricted by Europeans and Americans. It needs a strong system to bring a group of younger brothers instead of fighting alone. .

Fighting alone is not staunch, but a bit silly. People will fight you in groups.

However, building the entire industrial chain of domestic semiconductors is by no means overnight. The shocking "Hanxin Incident" that year was a heavy blow to the development of the domestic semiconductor industry, causing the semiconductor industry, which was already lagging behind, to fail. I heard you say that you want to engage in independent research and development of semiconductors.

Over the past few years, we can only rely on state support, and the support is limited, because the country did not have money at the beginning, and now it is not very rich, and the semiconductor industry is too expensive.

To make matters worse, there was a "Hanxin Incident". It is conceivable that the damage to the entire industry was so great. The result was the collapse of the domestic civilian semiconductor industry. The trend of buying and renting is not suppressed. live.

Up to now, some of the leading semiconductor companies in China seem to be strong, but there is really nothing that can be beaten internationally.

Even the "Lens Semiconductor" jointly established by Côte d’Azur and Huawei is still lagging behind the international level and is always in a state of catching up. Regardless of the powerful AP processor of Côte’s azure mobile phones, it is actually a castle in the sky and it is easy to collapse. Only part of the modules are independently developed. Once the supply chain gets stuck, the core business of the Riviera will face the fate of shock.

It can be said that the current development momentum of the Cote d'Azur is very good because of the "magnanimity" of the Americans, and if they want, they can destroy the Cote d'Azur at any time.

The "magnanimity" of Americans is not really magnanimous. It is clear that they are raising pigs. Luo Sheng has a strong premonition for this.

At this moment, Luo Sheng drank the remaining yogurt in the cup, took a paper towel and wiped it off, ending his flirtation with Qin Weimu, and started talking about business:

"Shengfeng Capital has not officially announced it to the outside world? Well, let me talk about it at that time, you go to compile a report on the status of the domestic semiconductor industry and give me an assessment, and then make an assessment to determine which projects and entrepreneurial teams can invest, and our money It’s not a strong wind. In the semiconductor industry, if a lithography machine is put in at 20 billion yuan, it won’t make much splash. Let’s not talk about the whole industry. Let’s start and make a good start so that we can drive More capital comes in, including Shengfeng Capital also accepts foreign capital investment, but the premise is that I have the final say on how to spend the money."

Qin Weimu nodded. Since working with Luo Sheng and involved in the technology industry for five or six years, she has also become a female elite in the IT industry and is a rare multi-faceted expert.

Such a problem is not difficult for her to deal with.

Shengfeng Capital currently has 119 employees, both at home and abroad. It has established a branch office in Göttingen in Europe and a branch in Vancouver in North America, but 70% of its employees are in China.

It will definitely expand further in the future. Shengfeng Capital will not only invest in China, but also invest in the world.

The decline of the West is inevitable, and the existence of Luo Sheng will accelerate the decline of the West to a certain extent. Because the East has him, the revival will be faster, and the decline will increase, and the West will of course decline faster.

It is worth mentioning that Mengqiu joined Shengfeng Capital. Before that, he worked for Goldman Sachs. At the beginning of Bluestar Technology's early and mid-term entrepreneurial stage, Mengqiu was handling the initial stage of Goldman Sachs' entry.

Now, the investor has moved from Goldman Sachs to Shengfeng Capital. In the current environment, the financial collapse is more than a year, but Wall Street is still layoffs, and major investment banks are laying off staff. This gives Shengfeng Capital many opportunities to absorb. A large number of investment elites work for it.

Mengqiu was not laid off, but Luo Sheng hired him to Shengfeng Capital. The other party would never have thought that there would be such a day, and he would become an employee of the other party.

...

After the meal, Luo Sheng started a new day of work. Now he doesn't care much about the daily operations of the two companies, but he still goes to work for one or two hours every day, mainly to look at reports, and more reports are generally At home, which is the science and technology complex, Xiaona, the artificial intelligence connected to the security systems of the two companies, reports to him regularly every week.

The other working hours are spent on research and development. Recently, he has not been in Lens Semiconductor or the Azure Coast Lab. Most of the time he stayed in the innovation workshop, presided over the two projects of the subsea data center and the open source platform BlueStack.

After the cloud computing outlet was completely detonated, all parties flocked to it. For example, all major domestic IT companies who want to enter this field are waiting to be fed. They have no strength, but do not want to miss this gold mine. There are still opportunities. , Waiting for Bluestar Technology to launch an open source cloud platform.

Of course, there are many people who have set their sights on the open source cloud platform Open-Stack that the United States has also announced in a high-profile manner, but domestic companies have two major concerns about this.

The first concern is the risk of public condemnation. If you choose Open-Stack, you will definitely be condemned by netizens, and the corporate reputation will definitely have a negative impact.

The second concern is the technical problem. Of course, the R&D strength of Silicon Valley cannot be underestimated, but in the field of cloud computing, at least at present, Bluestar Technology said that the second is that no one in the world dares to say that it is the first. It is also the discovery of Open-Stack. When imitating the Nebula Star-Cloud of Bluestar Technology, domestic players have begun to tilt the BlueStack open source cloud platform, which Bluestar Technology has not even announced its name.

Since they are all open source, Silicon Valley is a copycat, and Bluestar's open source cloud platform is properly "orthodox." There is not much doubt about how to choose whether it is from reputation or technology.

The only doubt is that we can't wait too long, so many domestic companies are anxious. Now they are only sure that Bluestar Technology will launch an open source cloud platform, but I don't know when it will be launched, or even a name.

Time passed day by day, and finally, as we entered March, countless companies that wanted to enter the field of cloud computing services finally looked forward to the open source cloud platform they were thinking of. The BlueStack open source cloud platform based on the underlying foundation of Nebulas Star-Cloud is finally Begin to come out after a thousand calls.

...

On March 2, the much-anticipated BlueStack conference was held today as scheduled. As Bluestar Technology Group announced the open source cloud platform BlueStack on its official website, the name spread in the industry on that day.

OpenStack-VS-BlueStack, this is the word that the media like to use as a title.

As soon as the news came out, Silicon Valley giants such as Eric Schmidt were caught off guard. They didn't expect the other party to hold a press conference so soon, but after thinking about it, I didn't feel too surprised.

Bluestar Technology must have been preparing for a long time. If the other party knew that it took only one quarter, they would probably be pissed off.

In the first two days of the conference, developers from all over the world gathered in Sioux City. Every time Bluestar Technology makes a big move, Sioux City’s leaders attach great importance to it and escort the entire process, but the needs will be met as soon as possible.

Nowadays, Sioux City is extremely famous all over the world because there is a technology giant group that is now well-known all over the world.

The landing of Bluestar Technology in Sioux City not only caused the local fiscal taxation and urban GDP to soar, but also radiated its reputation all over the world. The top leader of the previous session had already been promoted in advance.

Shencheng was very heartbroken, heartbroken, just next door, but out of reach.

Nowadays, the development speed of the city of Sioux City can be described as a small change in three months and a big change each year. The substantial financial revenue feeds back the development of the entire city. There was no large-scale event venue before, which led to the annual meeting of Bluestar Technology. Shencheng Office.

No need now. At the end of last year, a national-level comprehensive stadium with a scale of 100,000 people was completed. Star-rated hotels have sprung up, and various surrounding infrastructures have been comprehensively planned and upgraded.

This is a typical and inevitable economic law. A giant group in the surrounding area has also made Xiangcheng District the king of the new land. Even the housing prices of the entire Sioux City have been heated up, driving housing prices soaring.

Incidental is the consumption upgrade. The growth of Bluestar Technology has actually squeezed many local small and medium-sized enterprises to death. They are dead and can go, and those who do not go will have a difficult life.

This is an economic law that cannot be changed, but what remains is definitely more competitive. There is no doubt that Sioux City must retain Bluestar Technology.

It will inevitably provide better and more comprehensive surrounding infrastructure facilities, and real estate developers have seen the opportunities here and swarmed, which is what Sioux City expects to see.

Of course, land prices will go up, infrastructure facilities will be upgraded, shops will also go up, and consumption will of course go up.

The employees of Bluestar Technology have high welfare and high treatment. The consumption upgrade does not bring any economic pressure to them, but the employees of other companies in the surrounding area are different. They do not have such a high income, but their consumption has gone up. The wages, the small and medium-sized enterprises will definitely not be able to bear it, so they will leave or die.

Luo Sheng can’t manage these things, nor can he manage them. It can only be seen how the leaders of Sucheng solve the contradictions among them. But in general, as long as the leaders do practical things, use the two giants of Bluestar Technology and the Azure Coast. Taxation of technology companies is also a good choice to support other companies.

Although high-tech companies enjoy tax relief, Bluestar's annual revenue of more than 170 billion yuan, the base is large, the absolute number is still astonishing.

At this moment, in addition to developers from all over the world leaving the hotel where they stayed and heading straight to the Bluestar Technology conference site, all the major media who also rushed to the Bluestar Technology headquarters early in the morning.

This conference can be described as the focus of the IT industry.
