Global Monopoly of Technology

By entrusting a headhunting consultant, the company invited him to take charge of Bluestar Technology in charge of European business with an annual salary of $2.18 million. The global global sales president took a lot of effort to dig over.

Thinking about it too, it's certainly not easy to grab talent from Larry Page. Google's treatment is no worse than that of Bluestar Technology. If you want to dig into Google's corner, there is no other way but to give higher treatment.

There is an interesting phenomenon in foreign countries, especially in the Silicon Valley technology circle in North America, that is, many Indians hold key positions in famous technology companies.

It's no coincidence that this phenomenon has become unusually common. New Hampshire Southern University conducted a cross-cultural study of professional managers in North America and India.

The study found that more executives from India achieved the highest rankings and scores in Silicon Valley in terms of the leadership qualities of professional executives.

However, this research report is actually a bit one-sided. It does not mean that the Chinese cannot, but because most Chinese executives usually return to their own countries to start businesses and become their own bosses. As for Indians, their own countries have not allowed them to The soil of their entrepreneurial success is difficult for a clever woman to cook without rice. They can only display their talents on the stage of Silicon Valley.

While Luo Sheng's vision is global, Bluestar Technology's positioning is also a multinational company.

If you want to make the company’s overseas business develop smoothly and become bigger and stronger, you really can’t just blindly appoint domestic people, not to mention that the average Chinese people like to work alone and be their own bosses, otherwise professional managers in Silicon Valley, People from China are definitely no less than Indians.

Luo Sheng usually likes to ridicule the third brother occasionally, but he has no malicious intentions. After all, he is talking about business, and Indians are not useless. How can they be like a duck to water in Silicon Valley without something?

Niksh Mehrotra, a professional executive from India, was chosen through his personal interview. Through communication, he found that this middle-aged bald uncle with glasses and a 37-year-old has the characteristics of facing the future. He is also able to combine sincere personal humility with strong professional will and has achieved outstanding results.

This kind of professional manager is never short of jobs, all jobs are looking for him, as long as he shows a little bit of thinking about job-hopping, the call from the headhunting company will blow him up every minute.

To set up a film general manager in Europe is in line with the development plan of Bluestar Technology, which is conducive to the company's better business operations in Europe.

With the development of Bluestar Technology today, it has become more and more like a mature multinational technology company. It is divided into three business segments by region, Greater China, America, and Europe.

The three major business segments are the core of the company. From a commercial perspective in the current five to ten years, the most commercially valuable business segment is the Americas, followed by Europe, and finally Greater China.

Ten years from now, Greater China will be the world's No. 1 in terms of size and commercial value in a single market.

As for the present, because the development speed of the domestic Internet is not even comparable to that of Europe, let alone North America, not to mention the quality, but the volume, the number of Internet users in North America has doubled in China, and has already reached 200 million I have gone, and the country is currently only worth over 100 million.

To say now, among all the domestic Internet companies, Luo Sheng's Bluestar Technology Company is the only Internet technology company that has successfully gone overseas so far. Even if there are three other companies in "BALT", they are one of the best in foreign countries. Nothing, let alone anything else.

It is no exaggeration to say that, at present, except for Bluestar Technology, which is going hand in hand at home and abroad, other Internet companies have no idea of ​​developing overseas at all. They have no idea, at least not now.

If it can be done in China, it is already a huge success. After all, Bluestar Technology is unique and cannot be replicated, not even in Silicon Valley.

The time came to August 2004. Luo Sheng's focus was still on the Azure Coast company, and he spent two-thirds of his time in the "Cazur Sea Lab". He coordinated the entire [Azure] project plan and led " The research and development of the "Blue Star" project, while taking into account the operation of Bluestar Technology.

However, the Bluestar Technology Company, when he was away, was taken care of by the company's second-in-command, Chief Operating Officer Zhang Bowen.

This month is quite important for Bluestar Technology. Another major new product of the company this year will be officially released this month, namely streaming video business, domestic version of Bluestar Video, and international version of Bluestar Video.

The launch date has been confirmed, in the second half of this month, the exact date is August 21, 2004, the domestic version and the international version will be launched simultaneously on this day.

This is the product with the longest development cycle among the company's many products. The project was approved at the beginning of the year and was delayed until August.

In fact, it can be launched in June, but because Luo Sheng dug his own corner after establishing the Cote d'Azur company in March, he dug nearly half of the backbone engineers from Bluestar Technology to Cote d'Azur, and the manpower was not enough plus the project handover. Slowdowns are inevitable.

...

On August 20, Bluestar Technology CEO Office.

Luo Sheng looked at the computer intently, he opened a page, it was a report from the Forbes website, and it became a habit to spend ten or twenty minutes every day paying attention to information.

On August 19, that is, yesterday, the North American Internet giant Google was listed on the Nasdaq. The IPO financing reached 1.666 billion US dollars. It was originally going to raise 2.7 billion US dollars. The price of some original shares was lowered on the day before the listing, and the amount of financing was significantly reduced, from the original $2.7 billion to $1.7 billion, and the final actual financing was $1.666 billion.

After the listing received financial support, Google began to rapidly expand its territory and seek diversified development.

Luo Sheng looked at the content reported on the Forbes website, and felt quite emotional in his heart. The listing of Google is definitely a feast for capital.

It's not unreasonable to be so crazy. Google started to make a profit in 2001 when it was only three years old. At the same time, almost all Internet companies, including Yahoo, were losing money. At that time, except for Google, the other exception was eBay. .

Even in the era of the bursting of the Internet bubble, Google continued to consolidate its position as the "king of search".

Not surprisingly, its stock price will climb to around $200 by the end of the year, and its market value will exceed $50 billion.

Because Google's performance report is too dazzling, revenue of 3.19 billion US dollars, profit of 399 million US dollars, revenue growth of 118%, the key is that Google's large-scale diversification investment in the case of expansion, the profit also reached nearly 400 million US dollars , which shows its earning power.

After reading the relevant news reports for a while, Luo Sheng closed the page, and the time was almost up. It was time to get into work.

Silicon Valley and Wall Street are now chasing Google's listing. Luo Sheng is not only emotional, because he firmly believes that the value of Bluestar Technology, under his control, will inevitably surpass Google's.

Major Internet companies at home and abroad have entered the IPO stage one after another, and this track seems to be more and more popular.

However, Luo Sheng is not in a hurry. Bluestar Technology is still a while away from the IPO stage. Although he can list the company in the United States this year as long as he wants to go public, he does not want to go public so soon.

On the second day, that is, on August 21, another major product of Bluestar Technology this year, the streaming media video business, the domestic version of Bluestar Video and the international version of Bluestar Video were officially launched simultaneously.
