Global monopoly of technology

Day by day, Azure-4 is selling well in the domestic market. At this time in 2013, full-screen mobile phones are indeed very eye-catching in the eyes of consumers.

Although the product is very expensive, it has not affected the sales of Azure-4.

After three years, the Cote d'Azur has returned with new products, as the industry interprets its energy as an industry leader.

At the same time, overseas consumers are also looking forward to it. User surveys conducted by some industry media have made them realize the powerful appeal of Azure-4. 60% of consumers surveyed decide to replace their mobile phones. The goal is For Azure-4 mobile phones, 42% of consumers feel that the price is not cheap but acceptable, and 30% of consumers feel that the price is too expensive, but they will choose to buy at this price.

Only 20% of surveyed questionnaires should be too expensive to be considered at all.

It has to be said that Luo Sheng's overseas reputation has reached unprecedented heights. In fact, many ordinary Europeans and Americans have little knowledge of Asia.

But there are still some.

For example, when some ordinary Europeans and Americans are asked about their impressions of Japan, most people think of the keyword Sony.

Nowadays, when asked what impression of the State of China, apart from kung fu, now everyone will think of smart phones on the blue coast, Bluestar technology family bucket, etc.

This is actually the brand influence brought by the successful globalization of the past ten years.

This year, the North American "Forbes" magazine released the list of the top 100 most valuable brands in the world in 2013. The Blue Coast has successfully pulled Bluestar Technology from the top of the list for two consecutive years, and took the first place.

The Côte d’Azur currently tops the list with a brand value of 212.56 billion U.S. dollars, while Bluestar Technology currently condescends to second place with a brand value of 175.57 billion U.S. dollars, followed by Google (100.72 billion U.S. dollars) and Coca-Cola (80.25 billion U.S. dollars). ), IBM (75.39 billion US dollars).

Luo Sheng’s two companies can be called "two rides", leaving the companies behind them far away. In fact, when Bluestar Technology was not hit by North America, its brand value once soared to 2013. 240 billion US dollars.

After all, that year, the market value of Bluestar Technology once rushed to a height of 1.7 trillion U.S. dollars, and its net profit reached an unprecedented 72 billion U.S. dollars. Now the total market value remains in the 1.3 trillion U.S. dollar range. Although it has not reached its peak, it is also very terror.

And this year's Riviera is undoubtedly the most dazzling company in the global technology community.

...

The time has come to December, and the global launch date of Azure-4 has entered a countdown, and overseas consumers have begun to wait.

But at this moment, a piece of news caught consumers all over the world off guard, especially consumers in North America, and it shocked countless people.

On Monday, December 9, the North American Federal Department of Justice announced that the Bluestar Technology Group and the Blue Coast Group’s national operating authorization poses a potential national security and law enforcement risk to North America, and proposed to the North American Federal Council to revoke and terminate Bluestar. The international Internet services provided by Star Technology North America in the United States and the authorization of local enterprises to cooperate with it, and the authorization of the international communications and terminal business services provided by the Côte d'Azur North America in the United States as well as the cooperation with local enterprises was revoked and terminated.

As soon as the news came out, the industry was in an uproar. Bluestar Technology's stock fell at that time, and closed down 9.8% that day. 127.4 billion US dollars evaporated instantly. At least one Intel (market value of 123.1 billion US dollars) said it was gone...

The news beam spread to the Eastern Hemisphere, which was still at night. The big A shareholders who studied the US stock market in the middle of the night shuddered when they saw the bad news, and the major forums all started directly.

"Lao Mei Zhen Nima is shameless, can't compete just like this?"

"Can't afford to play?"

"Seeing this news is really both happy and worried. I am happy because the archbishop Niu broke off, and the company forced the old United States to be such a shameless hooligan. What I am worried about is how the company's strength can withstand the attack of the old United States. ?"

"Yes, Bluestar Technology and the Côte d'Azur are indeed good news, but after all, they are companies. Mi Di is really shameless. If you can't play, you will be a rogue."

"Bad news!"

"Lao Mei, let's toss about it. Is the stock market crash last year not enough? Want to engage in a panic selling?"

"Mi Di: Don't panic, we can print money like crazy, anyway, the world pays the bill."

"Now I realize that the original Blue Coast and Bluestar technology are so strong!"

...

At dawn in the Eastern Hemisphere, the Big A and Hong Kong stocks opened in early trading and both gapped and opened lower. The market value of Bluestar Technology Group plummeted, and the two major concept stocks of Blue Coast and Bluestar Technology also fell sharply. In the early trading, more than half of them all had their limit. Refers to the hardest hit area.

The three major stock indexes and the Hang Seng Index are all full of greenery and have been dragged into the water. The volume-level listed company of Bluestar Technology has plummeted by nearly 10 points. The impact on Hong Kong stocks is also positively correlated. Either take off together or together Into the sea.

As for it, it is normal for a big A to take a bath together. After all, a sharp decline in the periphery follows a sharp decline, a small decline when the periphery rises, and a fall when the periphery rises.

However, the North American side is not much better. Bluestar Technology Group was led by the bad news. Several semiconductor-related Silicon Valley technology giants also plummeted. IBM was the North American technology company most affected by this news, followed by Azure. The North American supply chain partners of Coastal Corporation followed suit.

Called Black Monday for technology stocks.

...

Technology complex building.

"After all, what should come is coming. I am not surprised by this news at all. You don't have to panic, just deal with it calmly."

Luo Sheng sat comfortably in his private office, and was currently having a video conference with the core executives of Bluestar Technology and the Blue Coast at the same time.

The executives who attended the meeting saw the appearance of the boss on the screen, as if this matter had nothing to do with him. How powerful is his heart, anyway, the management couldn’t sleep when he heard the news in the middle of the night. Feel it.

But seeing the BOSS so calm, everyone is considered to have the backbone, anyway, Luo Sheng is still on top of the sky.

For a moment, Luo Sheng went on to say: "This matter looks serious. In fact, Lao Mei is not so calm. It shows that our layout over the years is effective. This is the manifestation of the ability to resist risks, and this is the importance of making more friends. This is also the necessity for us to earn some money but not to leave it to others. Look at the news announced by the North American Federal Department of Justice. It is only a suggestion, not the final ruling. This is more interesting."

Zhang Bowen's voice came in the video: "Since Lao Mei sloppy at us, then we will play Tai Chi with them."

Luo Sheng smiled and nodded: "That's right, it's the right thing to do in business. What should I do if I respond to the response. By the way, how long can the chip inventory last?"

Contempt the enemy strategically, and value the enemy tactically.

Yao Jianhong: "The stock in stock can last for about 15 months. Not long after, several major chip supply chain partners in North America started a remote video conference with me late at night. Several new orders have been negotiated, and they have limited production capacity to supply us. , To provide us with chips and try to sell us as much as possible before the sanctions arrive. In the end, we should be able to last about 20 months."

I have to say that Lao Yao now admires Luo Sheng's foresight very much. At that time, the management still felt that it was unnecessary for the company to stock up on such a large scale. After all, the semiconductor industry was updated too quickly. Maybe a year or two later the chips in your inventory It is a backward product.

However, Luo Sheng resisted the crowd and insisted on large-scale purchase and storage. The facts now undoubtedly proved his vision and plan for the future. Otherwise, he would not be able to deal with it calmly.

The development of the Côte d’Azur over the years has achieved remarkable results in localization, but there is still a way to go before 100% localization. The entire semiconductor industry chain does not mean that achievements can be achieved in a short period of time. Block chips, some have to get solutions from North American supply chain partners.

Now that such a stall is happening, the international suppliers of the Côte d’Azur have also followed suit, especially the supply chain partners in North America. Now they are desperately putting into production to supply the Côte d’Azur, and other partners’ The production capacity has also been shut down. Anyway, there will be opportunities for cooperation in the future, so let's queue up behind.

The business with Luo Sheng may not be done in the future. Before North America has issued a formal ban, a few more will be sold.

Not to mention the North American suppliers, the company is now desperately speeding up the foundry production capacity, shelving the orders of Apple and other companies, and prioritizing the allocation of production capacity to the Côte d’Azur. Now it is time equals money. It is losing the Côte d’Azur cooperation The last word is for partners to hurry up and supply.

Now the major supply chain partners of the Côte d'Azur, especially the international supply chain partners, are busy rushing for time, and rushing for time is stealing money.

Although SPC is not a North American company, like Samsung Electronics and ASML, it is an international member of the North American Semiconductor Industry Association. Moreover, SPC’s own technology is also difficult to get rid of the constraints of North America, and pressure will definitely yield. .

The Côte d’Azur cut its net profit margin from 25% to 8% this quarter. What to do with the extra tens of billions of dollars is now obvious, and that is to accelerate the localization of high-quality supply chain systems.
