Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 457 [A terrifying technology empire as large as the Internet]

The subsidy war that lasted for more than 100 days finally ended, and the two sides shook hands and made peace.

This also indicates that the ACC host has finally passed the test of the market, and it also makes the established first party manufacturer have to admit the strong position of this new player.

The next-generation console war is over, and the new ACC king takes the throne. In the context of content interoperability, before the launch of the next-generation consoles by established manufacturers such as Microsoft and Sony, ACC consoles are in the current global home game console market without competitors. status.

With the end of the war, well-known masterpieces such as the "Final Fantasy" series, "God of War" series, and "Halo" series have landed on the ACC console platform, which further stimulated the sales boom of ACC consoles.

Similarly, masterpieces from the original ACC camp such as the "GTA" series, "Witcher" series, and "Assassin's Creed" series have also successively landed on console platforms such as PS and Xbox.

However, these works landed on the competitor's platform, and the commission was reduced by 10%. On the contrary, the ACC platform increased the commission by 10%.

In the case of content exchange and hedging, the technical advantages of the ACC host are immediately reflected.

Gradually, word of mouth has fermented in the global game player community over time.

Competitors watched the sales of ACC consoles steadily increase, but they were helpless.

This reconciliation itself was hard-won. If Luo Sheng hadn't considered that more things are worse than less in the current moments, he would have directly labeled the other party as a tool for evading antitrust. He would never leave the Microsoft host alliance. Take this respite.

...

A week later, New York, Paul Watson's house.

A servant had just put a newspaper on the dining table. Soon Paul Watson came here to have breakfast. At the same time, he picked up the Wall Street Journal, the largest paid newspaper in North America on the table, and read it.

The front page The front page is related to the Bluestar Technology Group.

Just yesterday, Bluestar Technology Group officially released its 2011 Q1 financial statements.

According to the financial report data, Bluestar Technology Group generated 47.99 billion U.S. dollars in revenue and 17 billion U.S. dollars in net profit this quarter, both hit new highs.

The Q1 financial report of the new year revealed a lot of information, and the Wall Street Journal used a whole page to report on it.

Among the many business segments of Bluestar Technology Group, the four major segments of the game business group, online translation, cloud computing services and mobile advertising revenue have the fastest growth, and are called the "Four King Kong" business by the company's employees.

The revenue growth of mobile advertising business is the most impressive.

From a broad perspective, the financial report data of Bluestar Technology Group still ranks first in the proportion of advertising revenue, accounting for 20.6 billion US dollars of revenue, which is 43%.

From a narrowly defined data point of view, excluding cloud computing modules, Bluestar Technology’s advertising revenue accounted for $14.7 billion in total revenue, accounting for one-third of the proportion.

In the past, Netizens ridiculed Bluestar Technology as a high-tech company that sells advertisements to make a living. Officials have also ridiculed themselves, but now it seems that there is nothing wrong with it.

However, the current official Bluestar Technology Group does not say so, but claims to be a company dedicated to providing cloud computing service solutions to global customers.

At this moment, Paul Watson, who was having breakfast, saw an excerpt from an interview with Nick Prin, the vice president of information research and analysis company Gartenr, in the newspaper. He claimed: As cloud computing services that can support more than 10,000 servers operate at the same time continue to spread, The scale of cloud computing service application deployment has also risen.

Purin said:

Before the financial turmoil that swept the world in 2008, cloud computing services were still a relatively novel IT service for the majority of users. It was rare for enterprises and social organizations to consider using cloud computing services.

But now more and more corporate IT department managers are beginning to consider using cloud computing service strategies, while more radical social organizations are also considering using cloud computing services.

Pulin finally stated: The global cloud computing market is expected to reach 61 billion U.S. dollars in 2011, of which North American market revenue will account for 60% of global revenue, European market revenue will account for 23.8%, and China Cloud The computing market is also expected to reach 14.4% of US$8.8 billion.

"42 billion U.S. dollars...tsk tut." Paul Watson who was watching the hold suddenly muttered to himself.

Bluestar Technology Group still firmly dominates about 70% of the global cloud computing service market. In other words, with a market size of 61 billion US dollars, Bluestar Technology will cut 42 billion US dollars this year.

In the first quarter of this year, the total revenue of the global cloud computing service market reached 14 billion U.S. dollars, of which 9.8 billion U.S. dollars was received by Bluestar Technology, which is really full.

The Nebulas Star-Cloud solution is still untouchable in the industry.

If Luo Sheng lowers the price again, the life of international friendly businessmen will not be able to survive. The major cloud computing service companies in North America really can only live by robbing Wujiao Building and other official orders. As for other clouds Computing service providers, I'm afraid it's a big shot.

At this time, Paul Watson continued to look down, and Bluestar Technology’s Q1 financial report rarely announced a large amount of the latest live data about the company’s major business sectors.

As of the first quarter of 2011.

The number of users of BlueSpace is 570 million, and the number of global users of the international version of BlueSpace has reached 790 million.

Reddit’s global user base exceeds 670 million, but the actual user base is 250 million, thank goodness. Reddit can be said to be the worst one in Bluestar’s "family bucket". This quarter only brought the company 27 million US dollars. Revenue, compared with the company's other buddies, even embarrassed to say that he is a younger brother.

Advertisers don't like Reddit at all. In the eyes of advertisers, why do they want to advertise on an anonymous stinking platform like Reddit?Isn't it better to advertise on the real-name social BlueSpace platform?

The number of users of Bluestar Music reached 420 million, and the number of global users of the international version of MusicSpace reached 370 million.

The market share of Yunge Search in Chinese search has reached 60%. It is the number one Chinese search engine at the moment. The Matthew effect is taking shape. The decline of whiteness is almost irreversible, and its market value has fallen below 10 billion US dollars.

The number of Weibo users has surpassed 400 million cumulatively, and the number of global users of the international version of MicroBlog surpassed 500 million for the first time.

Bluestar Video has 470 million global users, and the international version of Bluestar has 680 million global users, second only to BlueSpace. As the world’s largest online streaming video site today, 40% of BV video network users watch music Video programs and music videos have also become the most popular columns on BV video websites.

Most of the videos with the highest click-through rate on the website are MV videos.

The number of users of the cross-platform chat application WhatAPP has reached 200 million, and the number of users of WeChat has reached 130 million. The latest social products launched by the two major Bluestar Technologies are both internally and externally marketed.

Everyone knows that in the future social field, these two social software will shine in the mobile Internet era, just like BlueSpace in the PC Internet era.

The reason why Bluestar Technology is so powerful is that it once again occupied the air outlet of mobile Internet even social communication ahead of everyone.

Paul Watson finished reading Bluestar Technology's content report and put down the newspaper in his hand. Sometimes he felt frustrated with the energy of Bluestar Technology Group, the technological empire.

Because he found that the scale of the company itself is really as large as the Internet. An ordinary netizen user with 6 months of Internet age, no matter which country he is in, he has at least contacted one of Bluestar Technology's If he rejects all the products of Bluestar Technology Group, he will not be able to surf the Internet smoothly.

It’s even harder to imagine that thousands of small and medium-sized enterprises and even some large companies rely on Bluestar technology to get moisturized, even those on BV video network who are full-time. Master UP now also relies on Luo Sheng to enjoy food.

The North American authorities want to forcibly dismember this company. If Luo Sheng comes to a dead end, it may repeat the impact of the same magnitude as the millennial IT bubble.

"Sir, the flight time is up, you should leave." The butler came to Paul Watson and reminded him.

"OK."

Paul Watson took off the napkin, took the black trench coat that the servant handed him, put it on him, and left the villa. The special car outside to receive him has been waiting for a long time.

After a while, he was driven to the airport in a special car.

His special plane will fly directly to China. Paul Watson's trip to China is to meet Luo Sheng, and a group of people will go with him.

The biggest purpose of this trip is to persuade Luo Sheng to use his social empire under the Bluestar Technology Group in North America to help the "General Austrian" win the re-election election next year.

Well, it's a "Tonglanmen" or "Tongluomen" or something. "Blue" refers to Bluestar Technology Group, and "Luo" refers to Luo Sheng of course.

This is a PY deal that Wall Street and Austrian President have reached.

But this deal still needs to be persuaded, because he is the ultimate ruler of the huge social kingdom of Bluestar Technology Group.

You know, now every two Americans have at least one Internet service product of Bluestar Technology Group.

Paul Watson is very concerned, because he is the direct person in charge of the Bluestar Technology Group’s business within Goldman Sachs. He has seized the line of Luo Sheng when he has risen all the way over the years. From another perspective, Luo Sheng is His future.
