Global monopoly of technology

Chapter 614 [SIA Can't Hold The Pressure]

As the time approaches the end of the month, the annual report data of Bluestar Technology Group, Azure Coast and Azure Pure Electric Automobile Company are also released. The 2015 annual reports of the two companies also disclosed audited financial reports in a three-day interval.

Bluestar Technology's total revenue in 2015 reached US$168.035 billion, an increase of about 22% compared to last year's performance. The company's net profit margin was voluntarily reduced to 8.36%. Last year's annual net profit was US$14 billion.

Since Bluestar Technology once set a peak annual revenue of 2030 billion US dollars, the situation in the following years has undergone great changes, and the market value has fluctuated sharply in these years.

But now, the situation of Bluestar Technology has continued to slowly increase since its revenue was cut in half, while the company's net profit has been declining, but the company's market value is now rising in shocks.

At present, the market value of Bluestar Technology has rushed to 1.32 trillion US dollars, surpassing the Blue Pure Electric Automobile Company. The media also ridiculed Luo Sheng for being invincible and lonely to fight each other.

The North American crackdown did not affect the market value of Bluestar Technology, and investors voted with their feet because the current stock price of Bluestar Technology is a choice made by investors after the management clearly decided to abandon the North American market.

The result is obvious, investors believe in the future of Bluestar Technology.

The company's expansion in the subcontinent is now quite gratifying. It is currently deploying in the traditional retail market, and the offline traffic entrance is one step ahead of Ali, and the sudden commercial launch of LiFi technology. Although it is a pilot, the prospect is promising.

Not surprisingly, after the completion of the 40 commercial pilots, the offline traffic portal of LiFi technology will further stimulate the performance of Bluestar Technology. Investors are very optimistic about this. In addition, Bluestar Technology’s tangible revenue growth lies there. Even the real group of Wall Street investors cannot be ignored.

The stock price rise is inevitable.

The stock god Barfit once again won, early bargain hunting, and now he earns a lot of money.

Bluestar Technology has always had institutions to sell short, but it was just a small break. Both the long and the short are fighting in the market every day. Like the previous move that wanted to make the company half disabled, no institution dared to start.

The Côte d’Azur’s global sales of US$265.6 billion last year has slowed down. The revenue of the hardware sector has actually begun to shrink by about 20%. The reason is that the company has not launched new products, whether it is ACC game consoles, ieP tablets or Azure smartphones. , Have not launched the latest flagship machine.

In the absence of new products on the market, the company's revenue can maintain growth beyond the expectations of Wall Street analysts. The source of its growth is mainly the power of the ecosystem, AOS application store and revenue from the game sector.

The Côte d'Azur does not develop its own games, but the ACC console now has a sales scale of up to 200 million. Major games are released on the ACC platform, and the revenue is more and more substantial.

Among them, this year's star-rated products "The Witcher 3" and "GTA5" were both released in 2015, becoming annual phenomenon-level best-selling masterpieces, and game developers, publishers, and platforms all earn a lot of money.

Another reason that cannot be ignored is that the ban on domestic game consoles was lifted in 2015. Although the domestic game console market was not actually boosted, it was at least a good start.

The ability to lift the ban is to a certain extent due to the military-civilian integration strategy. The country needs talents in this area. The game is very powerful. In today's era, there is a real opportunity to be specially recruited.

The Côte d’Azur’s net profit margin was compressed to 9% last year, generating $24 billion in revenue.

And Luo Sheng's second listed company, the Blue Pure Electric Automobile Company, which is listed on Big A, had a staggering annual revenue of 1,288 billion yuan last year, which is about 207 billion US dollars excluding exchange rate changes.

This is the biggest dark horse, but everyone knows the fundamental reason why the performance of the blue pure electric car is so impressive.

The people who speculate in futures are dripping blood. This figure scalper speculators contributed at least about 65%. Without the contribution of scalper speculators, the revenue of Blue Pure Electric Vehicles last year should be around 450 billion yuan.

This performance has also brought the company's market value to a whole new level, reaching a height of over 8 trillion yuan (approximately $1.29 trillion). The Big A's Dinghai Shenzhen is worthy of its name.

But the most terrifying thing is the net profit margin, which reached an exaggerated 72%, that is, 927.3 billion yuan. It was the scalper speculators that made the core contribution.

However, in the annual report conference call, the management of Blue Pure Electric Automobile Co., Ltd. has made it clear that the company’s future layout will not be used for dividends. This greatly disappointed shareholders who were expecting dividends, but there was no way. It's useless, and the vote can't reach the number of votes. No dividend is not paid.

The profit earned is used for expansion and R&D investment. The laying of charging piles and electricity subsidies are big money-makers. With the increase in electric vehicle shipments, the electricity subsidy expenditure will increase rapidly, and the state will have to give the company more than 167.2 billion every year. The RMB subsidy.

The money will be spent quickly, and these budgets have been planned early.

It is impossible to pay dividends. The Blue Pure Electric Automobile Company insists on “forever” without paying dividends. It would rather put the funds in the company's small vault as a devaluation of cash reserves than pay dividends.

Although the "Company Law" stipulates that listed companies must pay dividends at least once within 5 years, the Blue Pure Electric Automobile Company is only listed, and 5 million will be paid out after five years.

...

Entering February.

"Forty commercial landing pilot projects that access LiFi have been well received by users. In the past few days, many retailers and department stores in Japan and South Korea want to access this technology for their supermarkets. Some have found the Blue Coast. , Some found Bluestar Technology."

In the Science and Technology Complex, An Qingxue reported to Luo Sheng and sorted out the company reports of Yao Jianhong and Zhang Bowen and handed it to Luo Sheng.

"This matter..." Luo Sheng thought about it for a moment and said to himself: "The LiFi technology they fancy, this matter Bluestar Technology and the Blue Coast retreat behind the scenes, and put Hyland Haas and his PureLiFi pushed to the front, focusing on promoting LiFi technology, paving the way for standardization."

The so-called unprofitable cannot afford to be early, merchants in Japan and South Korea have taken a fancy to this technology. The date will be the May Day holiday. The domestic tourist army will soon be all over the world. For those who bring goods, the preferred region is Japan. Han, foreigners have already seen the strength of Chinese people in buying and buying these years.

In some areas, the economy was not very good. Once the tourists from China came in, the local economy would be as violently as if they had taken drugs.

If you say who the "rabbit" wants to do, don't talk about other tricks, you only need to restrict the input of local tourists, the economic prosperity of that place may be the Great Depression overnight.

This is really no joke.

The fight is a lot of labor and management, which looks unpretentious, but in fact it is very hard-core.

These local merchants in Japan and South Korea are already preparing to engage in large-scale promotions. The access to LiFi technology is obviously to provide a better shopping experience. This investment is worthwhile, and the cost can definitely be recovered.

An Qingxue made memos one by one, and at this moment Xiaona's voice responded.

"Master, Zhang Bowen requests video communication."

"Come closer."

Luo Sheng immediately looked at the computer screen on the desk. After a while, a window popped up under Xiaona's custody, and Zhang Bowen's image appeared.

"Mr. Luo, someone from North America has sent over and said that he wants to talk to us. It is estimated Mr. Yao has also received the news."

Sure enough, when Zhang Bowen had just finished speaking, Yao Jianhong also requested to connect.

Luo Sheng said: "Let's connect Lao Yao to this channel."

There is nothing to hide anyway.

"Mr. Luo, eh? Mr. Zhang is also here? Am I on the wrong channel?"

Luo Sheng smiled and said: "This is a private message channel, it's not a mistake."

Yao Jianhong: "That's it, Mr. Zhang is here, then I think it should be the same thing."

Luo Sheng nodded: "It seems that the other party still can't stand the pressure."

The two people in the video screen couldn’t help but smile. Yao Jianhong smiled and said, “It’s me and I can’t stand it. Bian suddenly announced that DNA storage is about to enter the commercial landing pilot. Those semiconductor manufacturers are not going to blow up? It is estimated that they don't know how we will move next, and they are panicked now, haha."

Although Luo Sheng and his team's management didn't know what happened within the opponents during this period, they could also judge with a high probability that they must have conflicts and differences, and they also quickly compromised.

To be precise, it is a compromise between SIA and North America. Otherwise, even if international manufacturers do not choose to be an enemy of Luo Sheng, they will never deliberately offend, and there is a bold probability that they will come over and beg to make friends and play together.

When the suppression of Luo Sheng and the technical card neck have lost their due effect, it is no longer meaningful to continue to reshuffle. Since reshuffling is inevitable, the most important thing at that time is how to win in the new game. The greater good.

This is quite realistic for foreigners. In domestic terms, those who know the current affairs are outstanding and follow the trend.

Luo Sheng said to the two of them: "The negotiation will continue as planned and will not change. I will not show up. You two will talk to Old Man John on behalf of the Blue Coast and Bluestar Technology. Our terms are still the same. "

"The Côte d'Azur wants to cooperate with the international semiconductor first-line supply chain. Don't give me substitute products, what you want is the latest generation of technology; and Bluestar Technology will pay 65% ​​of the moving cost for exiting the North American market, which is regarded as a'breakup fee' If you don’t agree, you can execute whatever you decide before."

...

(Ps: The plot timeline of this book has been advanced to 2016. The semiconductor layout has begun to be completed. The level of science and technology under the background of the novel world should be ahead of the current in some fields. Once the semiconductor chip is completed, it can take off. Part of the technology is already in reality, and the subsequent technology should be advanced, and the technology written later should become more and more "black", but it still needs a process, rather than suddenly emerge, such as LiFi technology Once laid out, as an infrastructure technology, it will not be abrupt to the emergence of unmanned driving and the Internet of Things in the future.)
