Global monopoly of technology

Before Liu Jianwei left the Science and Technology Complex, he wrote an autograph letter to recommend his old friend to teach at Harbin Institute of Technology and lead the nanorobot science team to join Star Arrow International.

This kind of subject research that is far away from the application stage, apart from the support of national scientific research institutions, there is really no capital willing to invest, and the country’s funding is limited, and it is more inclined to prioritize funding to technologies that can be quickly applied. field.

But Luo Sheng is undoubtedly an exception. Not only does he like to invest in these areas that are partial to basic research, but the key is that he is the world's richest man and the owner of money.

Luo Sheng was also very happy to know a top nanotechnology research team by accident, and even possibly join Star Arrow International.

This is an invisible benefit. God knows that Liu Jianwei's old friend will have his old friend recommended by him again?

The fact that I have to admit is that even academics are divided into layers, and the atmosphere is even stronger.

The space ladder project does not need to think too much in the short term. In the next ten to fifteen years, breakthroughs and precipitation of cutting-edge technology may be carried out. The space ladder project can truly be advanced to the substantive stage. There are four key technical pain points. Must be resolved.

The first is the breakthrough of new material carbon fiber nanotube technology, the second is also the technical breakthrough of new material room temperature superconductor, and the third is the breakthrough of nanotechnology.

The fourth one is the problem of air and space transportation.

Luo Sheng chose recyclable rocket technology. In addition to commercial aerospace launch, the creation of the Starlink project and unmanned autonomous driving, the space ladder will be the biggest mission of Star Arrow International.

As long as these four major technical pain points are solved, the space ladder will definitely enter the actual planning stage.

As for the space station, ground base station, and space launch port that this ladder possesses, humans have already had long-term technological precipitation. The biggest problem with these problems is the incredible amount of engineering and project budget scale.

The Century Project is not just a literal meaning, it means a huge investment of manpower and material resources.

This project is impossible to complete without a budget of several trillion yuan, but as long as it is completed, mankind will no longer be limited to the cradle of the earth. At least the expansion of the scope of activities to the periphery of the earth's orbit will become the norm. This is the space ladder. The greatest significance.

Such a super large project of the century is not accomplished overnight. It took more than three months to build a model. Although future planning is important, it is more important to focus on the present.

Luo Sheng needs money and needs to make a lot of money.

Only by making enough money now can Star Arrow International become a major shareholder of the space ladder project and gain control of it. In ten or twenty years, it is impossible for Luo Sheng to develop the space ladder project alone. , It must be a transnational cooperation project, the participating giant groups are not one and two, and state capital will also participate.

Luo Sheng would not do it even if he had the capital to carry out this project alone, the risk would be too great.

As soon as Liu Jianwei left, Luo Sheng collected the recommendation letter he wrote, went back to the private office and put the envelope aside, then opened the work mail list and found two unchecked mails.

Amazingly, it is the 2012 financial report information of Bluestar Technology from Zhang Bowen, and the 2012 financial report information of Blue Coast from Yao Jianhong.

Luo Sheng clicked in and took a look.

In 2012, Bluestar Technology Group's annual revenue was 115.97 billion U.S. dollars, which was almost cut in half compared to the previous year’s 2030 billion U.S. dollars. The annual net profit was 20.715 billion U.S. dollars, compared with 72 billion U.S. dollars in the previous year. Only about 28%.

This financial report is also in line with Wall Street analysts’ expectations. At the same time, because Bluestar Technology has stabilized the European market, Blackstone Group previously predicted that Bluestar Technology’s annual revenue will be less than 100 billion U.S. dollars, but then added a risk report and adjusted it to 1128. Million dollars is very close to the real data.

Although its performance is not as good as the previous year, it is still a multinational technology giant with annual revenue of more than 100 billion U.S. dollars. Taking last year’s data as an example, it can reach hundreds of billions of dollars in annual revenue. There are thousands of companies worldwide. Of the companies in China, only a handful of 65 companies have done it. You must know that the number of companies in the world is measured in units of 10,000.

For a company with hundreds of billions of dollars in revenue, any company that casually takes out is either a giant or an industry overlord. Sneezing a sneeze is the whole industry following a cold.

The turbulence of Bluestar Technology last year is the best explanation, and there are countless companies that "sick".

Because last year's revenue was almost cut in half, Bluestar Technology fell to 40th in the world's top 500 rankings, second only to the French retail giant Carrefour Group.

Although profits have plummeted, it still sits firmly in the top five in the world and remains one of the most profitable companies in the world.

After reading the content of the email, Luo Sheng directly edited a section of the content manually and sent it to Zhang Bowen, and then clicked on Yao Jianhong's email.

In the past year, Côte d’Azur’s annual sales reached 175 billion U.S. dollars, an increase of 27% compared to the previous year. Last year, the brother company Bluestar Technology suffered a miserable experience, but Côte d’Azur did not suffer much. The spread, that is, was forced to adjust the company's asset allocation by Wall Street, but it did not have a substantial impact on the company's operations.

North America did not start at the same time, and now it is fortunate that they did not start at the same time. So many moths were created just by hitting Bluestar Technology.

The Côte d’Azur set a net profit of 20.125 billion U.S. dollars last year, an increase of 21.74% year-on-year. Compared with its high-tech, the net profit margin is a bit low, only about 11.5%.

But it can't stand up to the huge base. The Côte d'Azur broke through a net profit of 20 billion U.S. dollars for the first time last year. Even with crazy money for research and development, high human resource costs and corporate operating costs, it still makes money.

From this perspective, the high-tech industry is indeed the most profitable.

It is worth mentioning that the Blue Coast Company did not release new products last year. Smart phones are still selling Azure-3, and they are still best sellers. The continuous sales of iP tablets have further boosted the sales of Azure-3 mobile phones.

In January of this year, the cumulative sales of ACC consoles have exceeded 100 million units, and it has undoubtedly become another phenomenon-level product for home game consoles.

Hardware sales are the bulk of the Côte d’Azur, but the growth rate of the more profitable software business is also gratifying, with the AOS ecosystem contributing $16.5 billion in sales.

The ACC console platform’s game sales rake is also quite gratifying. In the third quarter of last year, the platform revenue and the amount of subsidies paid to third parties not only balanced the balance, and finally achieved a profit of 170 million US dollars for the whole year.

This means that starting this year, ACC hosts have begun to make full profits.

But the biggest highlight is the company's smartphone open source system WOS.

After the Blue Coast has completed the bottom of the system, it will be used by friends for free. Now domestic smart phone brands such as Xiaomi, Huawei Honor, vivo, OPPO, Coolpad, Apple’s iPhone and other mobile phone brands all use the WOS ecosystem.

However, there is still a relatively independent one. Lianxiang's mobile phone business chose the Android system. The other party explained that it is to do global business, so it chose a relatively suitable global Android system.

There are always unsocial.

It is worth mentioning that there are six or seven foreign mobile phone brands that use the WOS operating system, and they are basically dispensable small brands, but the largest brand is not Apple’s iPhone.

Last year's iPhone shipments ranked third in the world, second only to Azure and Samsung (Samsung). It must be said that Cook, who has been in charge of Apple for two years, is indeed a marketing master.

The WOS open source system is free, but it has brought amazing advertising revenue to the Côte d'Azur. WOS contributed 15 billion yuan (2.2 billion US dollars) in advertising revenue throughout the entire year last year.

The current pattern of the global smartphone market is that Azure, a brand under the Cote d'Azur, stands alone at the top of the food chain and is in the first echelon.

The second echelon is a situation where the two camps are facing each other. The most representative brand of the WOS camp, which is dominated by domestic brands, is the iPhone. Although it is an American company, Apple was facing a crisis that year and Luo Sheng decisively grasped it. , Which also killed the birth of iOS.

The rival of WOS is the Android camp, the most representative brand is Samsung mobile phone, HTC has already been overtaken.

The second echelon is the competition between the two open source systems.

The third echelon is the "others", such as the mobile phone business of Microsoft, the mobile phone business of Sony, and traditional veteran companies such as Nokia. Not to mention these. In the big wave of mobile Internet, they are even struggling to follow.

After reading the content of the email, Luo Sheng also returned a message to Yao Jianhong.

It is the Spring Festival, but most of the executives of the two companies have no time to go home for the New Year.

The executives of Bluestar Technology worked overtime collectively. Last year's crisis was over, but a lot of problems left behind must be properly handled, otherwise it will affect the operation plan for the new year.

The next day, Bluestar Technology Group publicly disclosed the 2012 financial report information. The disclosure of this annual report that was in line with Wall Street analysts’ expectations continued to drive the market.

After financing last year, the total equity of Bluestar Technology reached 1.95 billion shares. The stock price was US$372.58 per share after the market, and the net income per share was US$10.62. The company's total market value was US$726.531 billion. The current market value has stabilized at around US$700 billion. Small fluctuations.

Entering February of the new year, the market finally stabilized, and with Barfit's rare heavy holdings of BTC stocks, small and medium investors, fund companies, and even retail investors have dispelled their doubts.

Let's cover up and build a position!

Well, forget what happened before.

The important thing is to grasp the present and carry forward the past.
