Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 480 [Google's Actions]

Google headquarters, executive meeting.

"The current technology stocks are dragged down by Bluestar Technology and continue to plummet. Batches of people have begun to go to the rooftops, but it is an opportunity for us. Bluestar Technology is forced to spit out a large market waiting to be accepted, and Google may become the biggest winner. "One of the founders, Sergey Brin, couldn't hide his happy expression while speaking.

Many executives have such expressions. Not only Google, but also North American companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, and SAIF are all swayed by the wind, and immediately went to the original Bluestar Technology customers to promote their business solutions. .

Right now is the rhythm of grabbing money.

This incident has affected numerous IT companies, and there are also many small and medium-sized enterprises that have gone bankrupt.

But to say that the worst North American company belongs to the "Blue Giant" IBM. In fact, the "friends" in North America have seen IBM upset for a long time.

Because Bluestar Technology began to announce the Allin cloud service in 2006, IBM has made money and made money by relying on the orders given by Luo Sheng. These years, that life can be called a nourishment.

And the worst thing this time was IBM. Not only did the follow-up list disappear, but it is now entangled in a lawsuit with Bluestar Technology.

Once the lawsuit is lost, IBM will compensate Bluestar Technology with a huge sum of US$6.75 billion, which is almost equivalent to spitting out most of the profits it has eaten in these years.

Samuel is now furious, and his epic KPI goal for this year has already gone bankrupt.

At the Google executive meeting, one of the executives who attended the meeting said: "Our evaluation department has obtained data showing that the blow to Bluestar Technology this time left at least a market vacancy of more than 45 billion US dollars."

A group of executives also showed greedy expressions, at least 45 billion US dollars in the market is blank. This is the result of the seven or eight years of Bluestar Technology.

Larry Page looked at everyone: "The cloud computing market is the focus. Now it depends on who has the fastest speed and low price to grab more shares. By the way, what progress has the negotiating team we sent? What is Star Technology's attitude towards selling cloud computing infrastructure such as their data centers in North America?"

Each of these large data centers is a big money maker, and the operation and maintenance costs are scary. They have lost customers due to force majeure. Since Luo Sheng has already decided on large-scale layoffs in North America, one-third of the employees will be fired.

In order to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, these data centers should be sold.

An executive at the meeting shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Page, our negotiation team has already approached the senior management of Bluestar Technology, but unfortunately, they don't sell, and they didn't even think about this issue at all. "

Page turned to look at him, and said, "What? Not for sale? The annual maintenance cost of their data centers is not less than 4 billion U.S. dollars. Are you sure not to sell?"

Eric Schmidt spoke: “Obviously, this shows that Bluestar Technology’s confidence in a comeback is imperative, so they don’t sell. Don’t forget Bluestar Technology’s terrifying cash reserves, based on their last time The publicly disclosed information in the audit report shows a cash flow of as much as $221.8 billion, which is twice as much as Berkshire Hathaway's. It is also the group company with the largest cash reserves in the world. This money can make these data centers support half. More than a century."

Speaking of Berkshire Hathaway, when the old stock god is fearing in the entire market, he is using the cash he has on hand to buy some low-value but high-quality corporate stocks.

Peppa couldn't help but swear in a low voice: "Xiete, Luo Sheng, a madman, never treats money as money. It seems that if you want to buy his off-the-shelf data center and other infrastructure and integrate it under Google, you should not have too much illusion. Up."

Larry Page judged this point very correctly. Luo Sheng would not sell it at all, and would rather leave it alone and raise it with money.

Five or six years of hard work had the foundation today. He would rather spend $40 billion in the past and spend it in vain, but also firmly control it in the hands of Bluestar Technology.

Isn't it just money? Bluestar Technology Group itself has more than 200 billion cash reserves. Xiaojin's inventory puts so much money in order to cope with this day.

Bluestar Technology’s money has been spent, and the family fund still has 300 billion cash reserves. Qin Weimu is now actively preparing for the bankruptcy of Greece and made a lot of money. Later, the "black swan" incident of Brexit can make a fortune.

Maybe this little money will spend more and more rhythm.

Page skipped this topic: "OK, another key point to talk about today is the company's spin-off and reorganization. The proposal has been submitted to the board of directors for voting and passed. We will establish the parent company Alphabet. Originally, Google will only retain part of its business and lose weight. Become a wholly-owned subsidiary, and some other frontier projects will be split into independent subsidiaries and form Alphabet Group together with subsidiary Google."

The spin-off and reorganization is the result of Eric Schmidt’s vigorous initiative. Although Google’s development cannot be compared with a monster-level company like Bluestar Technology, it is also growing stronger and bloated. .

Bluestar Technology has done a good job, and completed the spin-off and reorganization before the IPO. Eric Schmidt also had to admire Luo Sheng's vision.

However, even after the spin-off and reorganization of Google, most of the original business entities still remain under the name of the subsidiary Google, including search, advertising, maps, applications, online videos, and Android.

As for the subsidiary of the parent company Alphabet, Google is the first to bear the brunt, followed by early-stage venture funds, investment funds, X Labs, Boston Dynamics Machines, life sciences projects, Smart Home Nest, etc., which were just acquired earlier this year.

As for the management team of the parent company Alphabet has also undergone a structural reorganization, with Larry Page as CEO, Sergey Brin as president, and Eric Schmidt as executive chairman.

The spin-off subsidiary Google will have Sundar Pichai, the former head of ChromeOS and Android, an executive from India, as the CEO. He is now a member of the meeting.

Basically, it is not much different from the original Google management.

At this moment, Eric Schmidt's assistant and secretary came to the conference room and whispered to it. Eric's face changed slightly when he heard the news.

"Doctor, what happened?"

Larry Page noticed the change in his expression, and everyone at the meeting also looked at him.

As Eric Schmidt’s assistant and secretary left the conference room, he looked around and said solemnly: “There is bad news from across the ocean. Bluestar Technology announced that it will actively reduce its corporate profits by 22.3%. The computing services sector cut its profit by 30%."

Sergey Brin: "What? Areyoukiddingme?"

Larry Page immediately turned on the laptop work computer in front of him and quickly operated it, and the other executives in the meeting were also confused by the news.

"Is he crazy?"

"Has the management of Bluestar Technology been beaten up?"

"The North American side previously said that it would cut one-third of its employees to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, but now it actively cuts more than one-fifth of its profits. Isn't this a contradiction?"

"Luo Sheng's gameplay, even if Bluestar Technology has a huge cash of 200 billion US dollars, it is not enough for him to splurge."

"Maybe it's good news for us."

The executives at the meeting talked a lot. At this time, Eric Schmidt said: "Good news? No, it’s not stupid, not even good news. This man’s vision and business strategy are so terrible, I even doubt him. The reserve of more than 200 billion US dollars in cash is to cope with today’s situation. Remember the strategy announced by Zhang Bowen, the executive vice president of Bluestar Technology Group? Bluestar Technology has invested heavily in third world emerging market countries, combined with this news, through self-sacrifice Come and force your opponent..."

Eric Schmidt looked around and said solemnly: "Those Bluestar Technology’s former customers are far away, so Luo Sheng took to support their opponents. This will inevitably cause the original old customers to panic, which is equivalent to forcing the opponents to return. Take the Nebulas Star-Cloud solution as an example. This is the best cloud service in the industry. The price was high in the past. Now Luo Sheng is actively reducing profits to give customers. The international competitiveness of Star-Cloud will usher in a qualitative leap. Google -Cloud, AWS has no competitive advantage, now it will only get worse."
