Global monopoly of technology

Entering mid-to-late April, Bluestar Technology Group released the first quarter of 2013 audit financial report on April 19th. Zhang Bowen also held a regular media conference on the performance report to inform the market and investors about the company’s This year’s outlook, but refused to set specific performance indicators for the group company.

Bluestar Technology has never set exact performance indicators for the next quarter or the next fiscal year. Google also does not want to be a slave to money and a money-making machine.

The financial report shows that the Bluestar Technology Group's global operating income in the first quarter was 23.65 billion U.S. dollars, which not only stopped the decline from 21.17 billion U.S. dollars in the previous quarter, but also increased by 11.71%.

In the first quarter, the net profit was US$3.831 billion, and the net profit margin was 16.2%, which was the lowest level ever for Bluestar Technology. It is important to know that the net profit margin during the disruptive period once soared to a terrifying level of 37%.

However, for the current Bluestar Technology, the net profit margin is really not the focus. The focus is on the growth rate of revenue, which means that the recovery of market share and the development of emerging markets are rewarding.

As long as enough market share is occupied and a de facto monopoly is formed, and after fattening, the profits lost today will be included in the bag with the profit in the future.

This audited financial report was in line with Wall Street analysts’ expectations. The Nasdaq stock market reacted in a timely manner the next day. Bluestar Technology Group’s stock rose by 6%. After-hours trading closed at $459.28 per share, and the total market value reached 8956. Billion U.S. dollars, firmly sitting on the throne of the world's largest listed company, more than twice that of ExxonMobil, which ranks second.

In the past year, Bluestar Technology’s stock has experienced repeated rises and rises, causing retail investors to die to death, but it has never lost the throne of the world's largest listed company. This also reflects from the side. The current era is the trend of technological oligarchs replacing petroleum financial oligarchy.

As the actual top brand of global technology stocks today, Bluestar Technology is not to say. Microsoft, Google, and Amazon are all catching up. The theme is to drive economic growth with emerging technologies.

...

As time goes by, into late April, Bluestar Technology Group's 2013 Developer Conference was held on this day on the 28th of this month.

The developer conference is held in the indoor lobby of the new headquarters in Mobius Ring, a large-scale event venue that can accommodate up to four or five thousand people. Developers from all over the world have arrived in Sioux City two days ago.

This period of time is also very busy for developers in the world, requiring all kinds of travel to the headquarters of the world's major technology giants to participate in the conference.

No, the month of May will be Google’s IO Conference, followed by Microsoft’s Developer Conference, Oracle’s OOW Conference and so on.

nine in the morning.

The conference site gathered developers from more than 100 countries and regions around the world, with a total of more than 3,000 people, most of whom are equipped with an Apple computer and an Azure-3 or iP tablet.

From time to time in the aisle, media reporters carried camera equipment to shoot, and the best position was occupied by the first reporters and set up their own equipment.

The overall light in the auditorium of the venue was dim, and the audience seemed quite quiet. Most of the developers were staring at the work computer on their laps, or thinking quietly, and some people were whispering to each other. Whispered privately.

At this time, there was a voice from the microphone on the scene: "Ladies and gentlemen! Applause. Welcome to Mr. Lu Qi, vice president and executive president of the cloud computing department of Bluestar Technology Group, to open the developer conference."

The lights in the auditorium area of ​​the venue were all turned off, and the lights focused on the stage in front. There was a burst of applause from the scene. Everyone clapped casually and looked forward silently.

I saw a middle-aged man wearing glasses, a white long-sleeved shirt, and a tie stepping onto the stage in a hurry. His figure is not as tall as a stalwart, he looks rather lean and lean. .

But this person in the industry is a big tech that no one knows.

Lu Qi, a man in the global IT industry who had broken his heart for his next job after he resigned from Yahoo, was contested by Bluestar Technology and Microsoft at the same time. In the end, Lu Qi chose to join Bluestar Technology and was in charge of the most The important product Nebula StarCloud has been so far.

Today, Lu Qi is already one of the directors of Bluestar Technology Group. Luo Sheng nominated him to sit on the board of directors two years ago. He is now one of the absolute core executives of the group company, and his annual salary has risen to 150 million. The dollar is higher than Zhang Bowen, the company's No. 2 figure.

However, compared to his annual salary, the 0.325% of the option stock award that Lu Qi has received since joining Bluestar Technology is the bulk. According to the current market value of Bluestar Technology, the value of his stock is as high as 2.9 billion US dollars, which does not count his holdings. Other assets.

However, when the wealth reaches the level of Lu Qi and the others, they will be squandered for a lifetime. Career ideals and spiritual pursuits are what they desire.

At this moment, Lu Qi on the stage made a simple development greeting and went straight to the topic: "This year is the 10th anniversary of the birth of Bluestar Technology. Starting this year, we will no longer be an Internet advertising service provider. From this developer Starting from the conference, in a special year belonging to the group company, we announced that we have chosen to fully transform the AI ​​software service provider and are committed to systematically integrating AI into this system."

The developers off the court listened and watched silently, and so did international friends and business colleagues.

Lu Qi’s words undoubtedly indicate that Bluestar Technology is going to bet on Allin in the field of artificial intelligence this time. Many people still clearly remember that the last time Luo Sheng announced Allin’s cloud computing service in 2006, it took the 5.6 billion US dollars of IPO at that time. No one was optimistic about it at that time, which caused the stock price of Bluestar Technology to fall.

The result of Allin at that time is that today's Bluestar Technology has become the world's largest cloud service company, invincible in the industry.

This time, the industry will not be like the last time. The world's major technology giants have made efforts in the field of artificial intelligence. Not only has the craze not faded, but it has risen further.

Lu Qi’s methodical voice resounded throughout the audience: “Under the background of the flood of cloud services, Bluestar Technology will use artificial intelligence to achieve differentiated advantages in the industry, and Bluestar Technology, which was born on social networks, has been aggressively deploying in recent years. The cloud market, including subsea data centers, etc., has chosen to embody artificial intelligence technology into cloud services."

Lu Qi said in a loud voice: "We will propose a new concept and integrate it into a strategy for the collaborative development of two parallel businesses. That is: [Intelligent Cloud Computing] and [Intelligent Edge Computing]."

Luo Sheng or Bluestar Technology likes to come up with new concepts everyday. Everyone is used to cloud computing, big data, self-media, etc.

In fact, this is also a side effect that Bluestar Technology has always maintained strong innovation vitality.

"In the traditional sense of cloud computing, user data needs to be transmitted to a large server array for processing through a layered network, but most of the Internet of Things devices do not actually need particularly powerful computing power to support. Caused unnecessary waste of network resources."

The industry listened to it, especially some enterprise-level customer groups. It must be happy to hear this. In fact, it is to indicate to the industry that Bluestar Technology is developing new technologies to further reduce costs. In turn, it is to enhance products and solutions. International Competitiveness.

International friends and business colleagues listened very seriously, reducing costs means improving international competitiveness. Compared with companies such as Google, Microsoft, and SAIF, Bluestar’s solutions are really high-quality and inexpensive. The international competitiveness it brings is something that peers envy and envy.

Some companies in North America have begun to complain, and they have shouted that the authorities will lay off employees if the company is not allowed to cooperate with Bluestar Technology, or the authorities will subsidize the company.

No way. Excessive costs will inevitably lead to a lack of competitiveness. The most typical example is the competition between PrestoMall, a local e-commerce company in Malaysia, and Amazon, an outsider.

Amazon has entered the Southeast Asian market ambitiously and feels that it will soon be able to settle this market, and the bald Bezos arrogantly can occupy this market in half a year.

As a result, the face was swollen and embarrassing. Now the local PrestoMall company has begun to take off. The growth rate of nearly 200% in the two fiscal years has left Amazon far behind, and now it is connected to Bluestar Technology The competitiveness of the solution will undoubtedly be further improved.

Many people actually already know Luo Sheng’s strategic intentions. One of the main lines of Bluestar Technology’s strategy to develop emerging market economies is to help local companies improve their international competitiveness, and then compete with companies in developed countries, thereby compelling developed countries. Companies in the region returned to pressure the authorities.

At the same time, this move can also be strongly supported by the authorities of emerging market economies. Under this "altruistic" strategy of mutual benefit, it is not suspenseful and reasonable to obtain local support.

Therefore, Bluestar Technology is very popular in the third world emerging markets.

"Edge computing is actually about deploying servers in local or small network environments to provide computing power to nearby IoT devices, thereby further reducing the access cost of AI cloud computing."

"In terms of intelligent cloud computing, Bluestar Technology will launch two new'cloud programming tools' for developers all over the world this year. The first is called IntelliCode. The built-in AI inside allows developers to provide Intelligent suggestions to improve code quality and increase productivity."

When the code farm heard it, his eyes lit up, a good thing.

"The other software called LiveShare allows multiple developers to collaborate in real-time programming and debugging of codes in the programming environment under the Bluestar Technology Group."

"In terms of intelligent edge computing services, Bluestar Technology chose its open source cloud platform and launched supporting hardware facilities, so that third-party IoT device developers can more easily apply their technology to their own products. ."

Speaking of this, Lu Qi showed off with a calm expression: "Among them, the two major projects we will launch this year, PKB and PBB, are the two major projects that Bluestar Technology is proud of in Star-IoT-Edge technology. Killer."

"Among them, PKB is a small deep learning sensor kit that embeds a variety of sensors including Bluestar's new-generation depth sensor, combined with Bluestar's edge computing architecture services, and can be used to process computers. Visual tasks."

"PBB is an artificial intelligence dedicated processing platform. The core computing device is a dedicated machine learning chip. Thanks to the physical characteristics of this type of chip, developers can program and customize this chip function by themselves."

Bluestar Technology has also begun to lay out the underlying architecture in depth, which makes the Silicon Valley technology giants feel extremely uncomfortable. Is this the more the pressure, the more we will do?

Or does it mean that the suppression is not strong enough?
