Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 479 [Second Hand]

After the public news of the Bluestar Technology Group’s media conference spread, mainstream media in Europe and America, especially North America, immediately began to criticize Luo Sheng on a large scale, accusing him of irrational behavior, causing countless people to go bankrupt. .

There is also a war of saliva on the Internet.

"To be reasonable, the operation of Bluestar Technology is too expansive and irrational."

"If people fuck you so shamelessly, don't you fight back?"

"Give up the fantasy"

"Quiet!"

"As expected of the archbishop, this is the strongest tech giant I have ever seen."

"I hope I can survive the difficulties."

"It makes sense. Although the recent news is full of enthusiasm, it is also a huge price for Bluestar Technology. In the field of cloud computing services, the North American market has a market share of 60% of the global market."

"Obviously, the U.S. is embarrassed to engage in local protection, and uses this despicable method to suppress Bluestar Technology. Hehe, Amazon, Google, and Microsoft, which are Silicon Valley technology giants engaged in cloud computing, are now dreaming of laughing ."

"If you continue to toss like this, it might cause a great recession in the global economy."

"The energy of a multinational giant group like Bluestar Technology is truly terrifying. Once such an emergency breaks out, the global economy will catch a cold."

...

Menlo Park, California, North America, Bluestar Technology Film Director.

In a company distribution building that can accommodate 18,000 people working at the same time, most of the employees working in the company are full of worries these days, and the atmosphere is not as happy as before.

The air atmosphere in the office lobby is faintly spreading the smell of everyone's self-risk. The Bluestar Technology Group currently has a total of 220,000 employees worldwide, of which there are more than 30,000 employees in North America.

Everyone already knows that the company announced that it will lay off close to 9,000 people, and it is only for employees in North America, which means that almost one of the three people will face unemployment.

Claude came to the company to work on time today. He has noticed that there are more than 60 vacancies in the office area where he is located. He knows what that means. The employees who originally sat in those places have been fired.

He hardly has any mood to focus on his work. In fact, he is not the only person with this mentality. There are a lot of people in the company now.

"Claude, I regret to tell you the news that you have been fired. If you have any complaints, you can go to the union to complain."

At this moment, a woman with a wavy haircut wearing a black hip skirt and glasses came to Claude and left behind without waiting for the other person to answer. Claude only heard the drifting away. The sound of high-heeled shoes dong dong dong.

After receiving the notice from the company's HR, Claude also said nothing, holding his head slightly in pain and pasting it on the keyboard on the workbench.

unemployed!

For a long time, he took out a box from under his feet with a frustrated expression, and then began to pack his own things. He had been preparing for this box for two days. He hoped that he wouldn't use it, but he still used it in the end.

Claude didn't go crazy, because he was fired by the company, so he would get a generous liquidated damages.

But he really loves this job, the food culture and generous treatment of Bluestar Technology, but the cruel reality is that he is now unemployed.

Two hours later, Claude went through the resignation formalities, completed the handover, and drove away from the company with his belongings. When he walked out of the intersection, he saw a noisy sidewalk.

A large number of employees who were forcibly dismissed protested, holding signs with slogans such as "Return my job", and many media reported live.

...

Technology complex building.

Luo Sheng is watching video news reports in his private office. It is the news content of Bluestar Technology in North America. The screen shows many fired employees protesting in Menlo Park.

And the local media is also doing a lot of rendering.

Qin Weimu next to Luo Sheng glanced at the news reports and watched Luo Sheng: "The company still lacks the right to speak in the media. Although we have also contributed to the recent stock market turmoil, it is obviously not the same as those reported by the media. Describe us as the culprit..."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng said with a smile but a smile: "In order to win votes, we have to express our understanding. But you say that we don't have the right to speak in the media. It is wrong."

Seeing Qin Weimu’s surprised eyes, Luo Sheng smiled and said: “We just don’t have the right to speak in traditional media, but we have the right to speak in new online media, such as BV Video Network, MicroBlog, BlueSpace, Reddit, WhatAPP, etc. The social media platforms are mine, and the online media will have more and more power in the future. It is precisely because of this that they will be so decisive in this move."

Qin Weimu said concisely: "The Blue Coast may be even more dangerous."

Luo Sheng shook his head and smiled indifferently: "If they do this, their own technology industry and the economy will be messed up, and they can't develop normally. Why don't they completely kick me out of the North American market this time? The economic loss is too great and huge. It is difficult for them to predict accurately, and they are not monolithic internally. The game of interests of all parties is complicated and we have to mediate in it."

This time the scale is huge. In Luo Sheng's view, Lao Mei does want to remove the thorn of Bluestar Technology Group. The authorities naturally know that this is in the interests of North America, but more important than this is the votes.

After a while, Luo Sheng looked at Qin Weimu and asked, "Oh, yes, how much did we earn this time?"

Qin Weimu put up a finger: "The net profit is 100 billion US dollars. The cash flow of the family fund has reached 300 billion US dollars, the total net assets are 450 billion US dollars, and the total asset management list scale has reached 700 billion US dollars, which exceeds Buffett’s Berkshire Hathaway, it’s a pity that we can’t buy the bottom of the low-priced but high-quality North American companies like Buffett."

Luo Sheng: "The Blackstone Fund is the goal of our family fund. You only manage more than 700 billion dollars. The financial market operated by the Blackstone Group has more than $5 trillion in funds."

Qin Weimu smiled and said, "How can I reward me?"

Luo Sheng thought for a while and replied: "Then...reward you several hundred million."

...

At the headquarters of Bluestar Technology, Luo Sheng did not come to the company today, and Lao Zhang is chairing an internal executive meeting.

"The impact of this old American A4 paper on our company is quite obvious. The first round of counterattack did not have much effect. Recently, international friends and businessmen are stealing pleasure. Some companies that have interrupted cooperation with us have switched to Microsoft. , Google and the embrace of these companies.” An executive at the meeting was speaking.

After he finished speaking, another executive went on to say: “Take the cloud computing service market as an example. Affected by this turmoil, our global market share in the cloud computing service market has dropped to 62%. Our share of development may fall to 40% or even lower."

In the field of cloud computing, North America is the largest market. The output value of cloud computing in this region accounts for about 60% of the world's total. It is currently the largest cloud service market deservedly.

Bluestar Technology also invests the most in the field of cloud computing services in the North American market. After all, the market here is the largest.

But now that this situation comes out, many North American companies have to follow the ban and turn to the embrace of local cloud computing service companies in North America.

The long-thinking Lao Zhang immediately made a final decision: "It's time to play the second hand. Tomorrow, we will announce that the service fee and advertising fee of Nebulas Star-Cloud will be reduced by 30%. Bluestar Technology will provide service fees for its major customer groups. The overall reduction to 22.3%, worldwide!"

The Bluestar Technology Group alone has $200 billion in cash reserves, which is where the confidence to dare to fight a price war.

But this news is bad news for the stock market.
