Global Monopoly of Technology

Two new faces, one is an investor representing Bill Gates. Gates has been reducing his holdings of Microsoft stocks. His assets are diversified. Although he is famous as the founder of Microsoft, most of his wealth is actually Not from Microsoft, but other investments.

The other side is Google, which was successfully listed on the market last month. The person sent by Google is its strategic investment department.

Of course, although it is a strategic investment department, Bluestar Technology only accepts financial investment. Simply put, you give me money, and I will give you equity. If you want to interfere with the company's operations, sorry, turn left and walk slowly.

At about 10:20, three commercial vehicles drove to the gate of the Hilton Hotel. Compared with the top luxury business cars that stayed there before, these vehicles were all of the same brand, and they were quite satisfactory. Top luxury cars, but for the current situation, that's it.

Soon, a group of people came down from the front and back of the three cars, about six or seven business people in formal suits, some men and women, and most of the media's cameras quickly followed one of the beautiful women. .

No way, beautiful women are naturally more attractive to the camera.

It was Qin Weimu, who was the first time she appeared in the media. Many male reporters were immediately attracted by this beautiful scenery.

When focusing on Qin Weimu among the group of business people, terms such as [mature], [OL], and [lady] unconsciously popped into my mind.

But it's by no means gaudy. She's beautiful and connotative, very royal, and very professional.

After the group of people got off the bus, they all gathered towards the vehicle in the middle. After a while, the driver of the commercial vehicle in the middle got out and came to the car and opened the door.

Under the gazes of everyone, a sunny and handsome young man came out of the car, except for Luo Sheng.

Compared with the people next to him who are wearing formal work clothes, its clothes are maverick, and as always, it has a minimalist personal style, which is also extremely ordinary.

But there is a saying, it looks ordinary, but in fact Luo Sheng's outfit is not cheap at all, there is no brand name because it is all tailor-made.

But in the current situation, he is very eye-catching and impressive in his "ordinary" attire.

"That's Luo Sheng, the founder of Bluestar Technology?"

"very young!"

"I heard that it was eight or five years old, the virtual age is twenty, the actual age is nineteen..."

"This age matches the height of the career, it's really irritating!"

"For a long time, I couldn't understand why Bluestar Technology burned so much money but became the darling of capital, and VCs from one family to another couldn't wait to throw money at him..."

"Do you understand now?"

"Uh, I don't understand."

"That's right. If you think about it, you are still here. It's time for you to give up writing and go into business. I may have shot you instead of Luo Sheng."

"..."

At this moment, Luo Sheng got out of the car and headed towards the Hilton Hotel, Qin Weimu and other company team members also followed.

The reporters present were constantly discussing, but they did not forget to take pictures.

Luo Sheng's achievements in the industry now, there are not a few people who study him, but the results are almost inseparable, and the conclusion is that it is almost impossible to replicate.

It is because of this that it is legendary, and it is talked about by the industry and paid attention to by the world.

In the end, it can only be touted in various ways. For example, when everyone despised the energy of hao123, he made a decisive acquisition, or he had actively sought financing and was rejected by all. Now most of those people have regretted it.

Once an opportunity is missed, it is truly missed.

Even if you want to invest in Bluestar Technology now, you may not have that capital. The last round of financing reached nearly 2.7 billion yuan.

I'm afraid it's more exaggerated this time.

Before Luo Sheng and the others entered the Hilton Hotel, the hotel manager greeted them warmly and led them to the meeting place. This kind of reception was very skillful for him.

Along the way, I walked through a rather splendid spiral staircase, and countless stars and celebrities from all walks of life have passed by.

After Luo Sheng and his people entered the conference room, a few minutes later, people from Morgan's investment bank also came. At this point, all the investors had entered the conference room, and the door of the conference was closed.

Privately raise funds, negotiation and negotiation have the right to disclose or not disclose to third parties.

Luo Sheng exchanged a few words with old acquaintances, and chatted with the main investors present for a while before getting to the point.

First of all, Luo Sheng asked Qin Weimu to briefly describe the current operation status of Bluestar Technology Company and its development vision for a period of time in the future to all investors, mainly where the money from the C round of financing is used, and also Not surprisingly, this round of financing may be the company's last privately raised capital.

Qin Weimu is young, but his professional standards are unquestionable, and he is also fluent in many foreign languages. After all, foreign-related legal professionals and most of the investors are foreigners, but this is a small problem.

Although it is a simple description, Qin Weimu still spent more than ten minutes.

Bluestar Technology has grown to the present, with a large scale and a wide range of businesses.

At the end, the person in charge of the Gates investment representative who attended the meeting questioned: "Sorry, I think the existing business operations of Bluestar Technology are healthy and are also developing in the direction expected by investors, but the online video business makes me unable to do so. understand."

Luo Sheng opened his mouth and said, "Please speak."

The other party immediately replied: "According to this beautiful lady just now, Bluestar Technology's concept of streaming online video sharing is a bit bizarre... If I understand correctly, you are an online video website, but you let users add content and Consume, and then the site makes money from it? IMHO, that's crap..."

Speaking, the head of Microsoft's investment representative looked at the others, most of them nodded silently, and the head of strategic investment from Google frowned, as if thinking deeply and with doubts.

"What kind of new model is this?"

Many of the investors attending the meeting have some research on the Internet, not to mention that there are other well-known Internet companies among the investors, such as Google and Tengxun.

But everyone was dumbfounded about the online video business model proposed by Bluestar Technology.

Gates' investors said it very directly. Users add content and then consume it, and finally the website makes money from it. What role does the website play in it? What did you contribute? Why are you making this money?

Obviously, everyone didn't understand.

Luo Sheng is not surprised by this at all. At this time, very few people can understand this model, and he even doubts whether anyone understands it.

However, it is not too much to give an explanation to take away the investors' money in large quantities without letting him interfere.

At present, Bluestar Technology has no idea of ​​making money, but spending money like water, how the money comes out of the hands of investors depends on Luo Sheng's mouth, so he calmly and confidently said:

"I am a firm believer that the key to BluestarVideo's success in streaming online video services is that the video player always works, people don't care if the product is perfect, as long as they work...but you have to get one thing right!"

Luo Sheng raised a finger, glanced at the major investors present, and then said: "To be honest, the sharing function of Bluestar Technology's current online video products was inspired by the payment product PayPal. ."

As soon as these words came out, everyone was confused for the second time. How could they be related to PayPal? Could this be related? Hell, one is an online video business and the other is an online payment business. They are two completely different things. How can it be more nonsense than this?

At this moment, there is only one thought in investors' minds: trying to predict the thoughts in Luo Sheng's mind is as unreliable as predicting the stock market.

Perhaps it is precisely because others can't see through, and even think Lu Ziye, that he can succeed and always be one step ahead of others.

I can only comfort myself like this.
