Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 340 [The Heart-stuck Microsoft and the Jumping Oracle]

During this time, the major IT giants also released their own financial reports.

On July 27, the third day of the Q2 financial report of Bluestar Technology Group, Microsoft also disclosed its own performance report.

According to foreign media reports, the "Business Week" website published articles and reports.

After Intel, Bluestar Technology, IBM and other IT companies have released financial reports that exceeded investors' expectations, Microsoft has made a very different voice from these companies, and its net profit has fallen sharply.

According to Microsoft’s financial report, as of June 30, the total revenue was 16.6 billion US dollars, net profit was 3.05 billion US dollars, revenue fell 17% year-on-year, and net profit fell 29% year-on-year.

Bluestar Technology Group's total revenue of 12.77 billion US dollars, but the net profit has exceeded Microsoft.

The net profit of US$3.05 billion is indeed a huge amount, but this is the second consecutive profit shrinkage in Microsoft's 23-year history.

As Microsoft's net profit and revenue both fell short of analysts' expectations, investors dumped Microsoft stock in subsequent after-hours trading, causing the company's stock price to fall by 8.84% in after-hours trading.

As of now, Microsoft's share price on Nasdaq is 23.30 US dollars, down 2.26 US dollars, corresponding to a market value of 206.7 billion US dollars.

Before the financial report was announced, there was still US$227.4 billion, and more than US$20 billion was evaporated.

Before Microsoft released this financial report that disappointed investors, the entire stock market was rising due to the rebound in the performance of major IT companies. In contrast, Bluestar Technology, which is currently the world’s largest IT company by market value, has On the day when the stock price plummeted, Bluestar Technology's stock price rose again by about 4.27%, and the top and bottom executives of Microsoft were overwhelmed.

The total market value of Bluestar Technology has therefore reached 256.3 billion U.S. dollars, surpassing the “first line of the universe where Laj’s love survives”. ICBC ranks third among listed companies in the world. And the second Exxon Mobil Corporation.

Luo Sheng reads two newspapers with the latest information every day, one for the industry and one for the academic world.

He has also paid attention to the recent situation of Microsoft. Bluestar Technology has now overturned Microsoft’s throne in the IT technology giant and is proud of the world as the new king enthroned. Microsoft opened the gap of about $50 billion.

However, in Luo Sheng's view, Microsoft's prospects are still relatively bright. It is expected that Windows 7 will stimulate a new round of computer sales after the October release, and Microsoft has announced plans to launch a new version of Office software next year.

Most people think that Microsoft's most profitable is the Windows system, but in fact this business only contributed $3.1 billion in Microsoft's $16.6 billion revenue this quarter, and the most profitable is actually Office office software.

...

Qin Weimu's villa.

That night.

Luo Sheng walked out of the bathroom slowly, took the bath towel and wiped the drops of water on his hair, almost tossed the bath towel to the bedroom.

At this moment, Qin Weimu is sitting with her back against the head of the bed. She is wearing a nightgown from the Italian luxury brand La-Perla, which gives people a high-level sexy elegance. She personally loves this brand.

But Irene likes French brands.

Obviously, Luo Sheng's appearance in her villa shows that today is an odd day of the week.

She Qin Weimu was holding an Azure mobile phone and staring at the screen, and when she saw Luo Sheng coming in, she said, "Foreign news, maybe you should watch this video."

Luo Sheng got into the bed and gave a big grin, and subconsciously said: "Xiao Na, cut the video to the main screen."

After speaking, he looked at the LCD screen on the wall and waited, but after he finished speaking, there was no response.

After a while, Luo Sheng realized that it was Qin Weimu's house, not the science and technology complex. Her villa was not connected to the smart home hosting system.

"Corona?"

Hearing the sound floating from the side, Luo Sheng subconsciously tilted his head and saw Qin Weimu focusing on his eyes like death staring.

Luo Shengdun felt mad and sweaty, and quickly explained: "Your Majesty, please listen to my explanation first. It is definitely a big misunderstanding. Xiaona is an artificial intelligence Nov. I developed, nicknamed Xiaona."

"is it?"

Qin Weimu stared into his eyes motionlessly, trying to see if Luo Sheng was lying, but without commenting for too long, she looked away, because she also knew that if this guy wanted to pretend, from her eyes There is basically no valuable information.

"It's true, am I so stupid for such a lie that can be broken with a single poke?" Luo Sheng said vowedly.

Qin Weimu looked back at Luo Sheng again: "So you still have an unbreakable lie to me?"

Luo Sheng: "..."

At the end, Luo Shengsheng said irresistibly: "Baby, this is not a construction site, let's not make a difference? Or you can just move into the technology complex."

Suddenly I felt tired explaining this problem to a woman.

Qin Weimu didn't continue to take advantage of this issue, nor was he talking about anything, so he threw the phone in his hand to him.

Luo Sheng picked it up and looked at it. It was an interview video. Seeing the interviewee, he was surprised and said: "What do you want me to do with Larry Ellison's interview? I don't like this product very much.

Seeing that Qin Weimu did not respond, Luo Sheng immediately clicked to play the interview video.

This is a video of an interview with the founder of Oracle Larry Ellison on Fox Radio and Television.

In the video being played, Ellison said: "...I am very happy to see the U.S. economic recovery, but I think at this time we should be more alert to the new competitor, the Chinese, if their economy exceeds ours, if Let them train more engineers than us. If their technology companies defeat our technology companies, our military will lag behind them soon, and our economy will be the same. We are gradually competing with them. ."

"Of course I stand for the United States. I hope we can win and that we can take the lead in developing and protecting our technology. It must be the same. I think we must strengthen economic investment, develop the economy, and develop technology. They have a lot of talents. Engineers have contributed a lot of intellectual property rights. There are also technology giants such as BTC (Bluestar Technology) and ACC (Côte d’Azur). I think it is very important that we can win and must win in the competition with them. We can I don’t want to be second..."

The general idea of ​​this interview video with the founder of Oracle can be summarized by Luo Sheng in one sentence after reading it: How can this work?They cannot be allowed to surpass the United States.

The subtext is: suppress.

After reading this interview, Luo Sheng put his phone aside and smiled: "Oracle is mostly anxious. Even if the translation software and MySQL make Ellison feel the crisis, you should be alert if you remind me. This guy likes to do these wild ways. Operation..."

The instant translation service of Bluestar Technology exploded the market as soon as it was launched. Strictly speaking, it has harvested more than 4 billion US dollars in global revenue in less than a quarter. It is too crazy as a new business.

Behind this is the power of big data. Of course, it cannot be separated from the assistance of artificial intelligence.

In a sense, the instant translation service has turned Bluestar Technology into a global enterprise-level software service provider. Oracle is the world’s largest enterprise-level software company, and Luo Sheng also has the MySQL card in his hands, Ellison It's not anxious to blame.

This is the same reason that Jeff Bezos jumped out to "worry about the country and the people" for the United States. He clearly felt that his kingdom's hinterland has been threatened by Luo Sheng, and he has not come up with a reliable one. Solutions to deal with this crisis.

Luo Sheng lay on his back and stared at the smallpox and said: "My business is too difficult. I have to compete with Microsoft, Amazon, Google, IBM, and Intel. I have to compete with almost all of my own. Silicon Valley technology giants compete..."

Qin Weimu ignored him and grumbled: "Shut up, go to bed."
