Global monopoly of technology

The commercial cooperation between Bluestar Technology and Xinshi Industrial Group is not the first time that it has aggressively entered the subcontinent market. In fact, it has been actively deploying as early as eight years ago. The real large-scale deployment of the subcontinent business market was in 2014. It was the beginning of last year.

People in the industry know that in 2014, Bluestar Technology Group announced its withdrawal from the North American market and almost left that year.

It was also in 2014 that Bluestar Technology Group began its strategic restructuring, the implementation of the three major strategies, and a five-year plan of US$150 billion in scientific research.

At the same time, this year, Bluestar Technology proposed a "free basic" Internet connection service in the subcontinent market, aimed at helping Indo users in remote areas to provide Internet surfing services, but because of its neutrality, it was questioned by the local telecommunications regulatory agency. Banned.

But Bluestar Technology obviously will not give up a huge emerging market because of this setback.

For a long time, regulators in the subcontinent have been skeptical of foreign companies dominating the market, while the Internet market in the subcontinent is currently dominated by two foreign technology giants.

They are Bluestar Technology, which dominates the social field, and Google, which dominates search engines and map services. The two companies have basically monopolized their respective markets.

In the sub-continent business, the two Internet giants, Google and Bluestar Technology, rarely participate in the core competition of each other’s business, and it is not necessary. One is that it is difficult to reach each other’s core business, and the second is that the sub-continent market is an incremental market with a large number of New netizens are entering the world of the Internet, users are everywhere, and short-term user value development is not great, there is no need to waste more energy and financial resources to fight each other head-on.

In the past five years, both sides have had nothing to do with each other.

However, for the current Bluestar Technology, it is obviously not satisfied with the status quo, so it has reached a close business cooperation consensus with the local richest man, Mu Kash,. It is really difficult to leave Mu Kash if he wants to make a difference in the subcontinent market. Characters.

As an industrialist and public figure in the subcontinent, Mu Kash once spoke out to urge regulatory agencies to make some regulations that are conducive to the development of local enterprises. This is of course selfish and will hinder foreign countries such as Bluestar Technology, Google and Amazon to a certain extent. The company's local business development.

The third brother also has smart people, and Mu Kashi insisted that the large amount of data collected by multinational technology groups such as Bluestar Technology and Google should remain in the subcontinent.

But this is nothing for Bluestar Technology. It has no intention of controlling these data. As long as you have the right to use it, this is the bottom line. Otherwise, it would be funny to be kicked and made a wedding dress.

Although the two sides have different views or even differences on some issues, this does not prevent the two sides from cooperating in other areas.

The cooperation with Mu Kash can go on smoothly, and his Internet empire dream can continue. Everyone takes what they need, and you can't handle it. If people's dreams can't continue, then they can't cooperate smoothly. .

It is normal for multinational companies to have differences. Even if there are differences in some departments within the Bluestar Technology Group, it is not a strange thing. As long as the big strategic steps are not affected, Luo Sheng does not care about these details, otherwise I can't get through.

...

Three days later, Mu Kashi came to the headquarters of Bluestar Technology, conducted a public strategic cooperation signing ceremony, and officially announced that Bluestar Technology has spent US$2.85 billion to acquire 22.7% of JioPlatforms.

In the conference hall of Bluestar Technology Headquarters, more than 200 media footage recorded the scene of the signing ceremony, and Luo Sheng was present.

He originally didn't want to attend the signing ceremony, let Zhang Bowen presided over, but then think about Mu Kashi personally come, he did not come forward, the specifications are a bit wrong, the other party may feel that he is not getting enough treatment.

After thinking about it, I decided to come and sign this strategic contract in person. Anyway, Lao Zhang has been presided over behind the scenes in order, and he came out to show his face, but only half an hour.

A media reporter off the court looked at the scene in front of him and said: "The big guy is the big guy. Judging from the recent hot news, the blue coast is about to burn eyebrows and is so calm."

The partner next to him joked: "The blue coast burns my eyebrows, what's up with my Bluestar Technology? Uh... it seems that Bluestar Technology is not much better."

"Haha."

In any case, the current scene is a celebration of the important cooperation between two well-known multinational giant groups. The atmosphere is cheerful. At this moment, here, there is no unpleasant atmosphere.

The layman looks at the excitement and the insider looks at the doorway. The insider knows that this cooperation is not without the slightest connection to the previous hot news. On the contrary, there may be a greater inner connection.

At this moment, Luo Sheng stood on the podium full of flowers and looked at the media people present, smiling calmly and calmly said: "The subcontinent has the largest user community of Bluestar Technology and WhatAPP, and there are also many talented entrepreneurs. The cooperation between the two companies can help people and companies in the subcontinent create more new opportunities. We can connect consumers and companies through a seamless mobile experience."

Mu Kashi, who was standing at another independent speaking platform, followed him to speak in English, but with a strong curry flavor.

"The two parties will work closely to ensure that consumers can use WhatAPP to conduct seamless transactions with JioMart, such as viewing the nearest Kirana mom-and-pop store through WhatAPP, and purchasing their products and services."

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "Bluestar Technology is making investment arrangements. More importantly, we will be committed to in-depth cooperation on some major projects. These projects can open up business opportunities for people across the subcontinent."

Mu Kashi added: "I look forward to the cooperation with Mr. Luo. The in-depth cooperation relationship with Bluestar Technology will help realize the mission of'digital Indian crossing', and its two ambitious goals, namely,'life convenience 'And'Business Convenience' will benefit every Indusman without exception. There is no doubt that this is a win-win cooperation situation for all parties."

What you said and what I said was basically just a scene.Luo Sheng's current personal net worth exceeds US$370 billion, making him the richest person in the contemporary world and the richest individual in human history, while Mu Kash is at US$32.2 billion, making him the richest person in the subcontinent.

Although there is a big gap in terms of amount, they are undoubtedly super wealthy, and they are all leading figures in their respective fields. However, Luo Sheng’s popularity and influence in the subcontinent are definitely not as good as Mu Kashi’s. , There is no doubt that both sides need each other's strength and obtain the benefits they want.

The signing ceremony was completed, and the scenes were over. Under the focus of many media reporters, the two left their respective speech platforms at about the same time and walked towards each other, ending the event with a courteous handshake between the two sides.

This scene was also filmed by reporters, and then appeared on the pages of major media as the latest news report, especially the local media of Indus, which made a close-up report on this matter.

After all, Mu Kashi is the most well-known and influential public figure in the subcontinent's business community, not to mention Luo Sheng, who is simply a world news hot spot that can move.

Regarding this major transnational business cooperation, the major media have also found many professional and well-known industry figures through their own channels to comment on this, and they are also happy to accept media interviews and interpret them.

[I think this transaction has other benefits for Bluestar Technology. From the disclosed cooperation rules, it can access telecom operators, which means that Bluestar Technology can access the entire data treasure house, including mobile phone types, Customer location, data usage, spending data, and many other information to further improve their ability to advertise.

[For Jio, in addition to funding and technical firepower support from Bluestar Technology, it can also access the most powerful and versatile application in the world. WhatAPP is the Indus Internet, which owns nearly two-thirds of the subcontinent. Many users, they can easily board Kiranas, because all of them use WhatAPP, and may soon be further upgraded.

As soon as the news of the cooperation came out, the market value of JioPlatforms rose sharply. Obviously, the market is very optimistic about this cooperation.

Although it is still too early to say whether these plans will actually be implemented as expected, it is clear that this $2.85 billion transaction can help Reliance go further in reducing debt.

However, at this time, most of the European and American media jumped out to sing bad news. Many media ridiculed Luo Sheng for being so obsessed with the subcontinent market. They looked at the potential of this market and thought that they could hedge Bluestar Technology and lose its North American business The losses brought about by the market may be lost in the end.

Yes, with such a report, the European and American media suddenly offended both sides, and the third brother is often the most face-conscious. The third brother’s netizens immediately started on Reddit. The local media Parkes Daily and the like also started to compete with Europe and the United States. The media was fighting a war of words.

The focus of this cooperation is that Mu Kash will initiate an unprecedented price war in the subcontinent next year, aiming to shake up the extremely competitive telecommunications industry in the subcontinent. Mu Kash’s 4G phone service Jio is expected to bring hundreds of millions of new users. , Although it will cause several local companies to close.

But this is Mukash’s goal, not only to destroy his brother’s business, but also to include Jio-Airtel, also run by billionaire Sunil, and billionaire Kumar, who runs the loss-making British telecom operator Vodafone. There are two other companies that are his targets.

...

This matter came to an end, and Zhang Bowen began to prepare for the next real negotiation. This is the highlight.

The Bluestar Technology was handed over to Lao Zhang, and Luo Sheng moved to the Côte d'Azur, to be precise, the Côte d'Azur Lab, Lens Semiconductor and Zixing Lithography Machine.

This is the core lifeline that determines the true direction of this technology battle.

On December 17, an exciting breakthrough came from the Côte d’Azur Lab. The power of the light source, which is the number of extreme ultraviolet photons that are transmitted to the scanner to achieve wafer exposure, was achieved.

In the research and development of the mass-produced Zixing lithography machine, all major technical pain points can basically be declared to be overcome.
