Global Monopoly of Technology

Chapter 335 [profiteering]

The annual cost of the enterprise-level solution is 23.47 million US dollars, or about 160 million yuan excluding exchange rate changes.

It's no different than stealing money.

You must know that a set of EDA process software under Kaideng Electronics is cheaper, and there is no doubt that the market size is not comparable to the EDA software industry. In a sense, companies in the entire IT industry are potential customers. At the same time, all Internet social users are also potential customers.

Obviously, there's nothing better than scouring the wool of those IT giants like crazy.

Bluestar Technology has the confidence to sell so expensive, because there is only one company in the world that can provide such excellent product service solutions.

Although it is very expensive, global Internet companies, especially well-known Internet giants, have to pay this amount of money.

Without him, compared to paying 160 million RMB or 23.47 million US dollars for Bluestar Technology every year, the benefits brought by this solution are enough to offset this expenditure, because IT costs are indeed reduced.

For example, in Ali, an e-commerce company, Mr. Ma must have the ambition to promote Ali to take the road of globalization.

So the question is, if you want to go global, you don't need to think that the annual budget expenditure will be more expensive than this 160 million, especially the subsequent development and expansion.

If these big companies can't see the cost optimization, how can they choose this solution in an endless stream? In contrast, the solutions provided by Bluestar Technology immediately demonstrated unparalleled competitiveness.

Buying a set of software services costs more than 20 million dollars a year, although it is ridiculously expensive, but choosing this solution can really reduce IT costs for yourself. It is the best solution until you find a lower cost solution.

With the launch of the cross-platform chat application WhatAPP and online cloud translation, they have received unanimous praise from customers, and the two blossoming situation has excited Wall Street. All these are intuitively reflected on the stock changes of Bluestar Technology Group.

Entering late July.

Bluestar Technology Group Headquarters, CEO Office.

"Mr. Luo, the Q2 financial report has been audited."

Zhang Bowen entered Luo Sheng's office with a copy of the materials he had taken from Irene, and put the materials on the table. Old Zhang said excitedly: "Bluestar Technology's business is becoming more and more diversified now, and advertising revenue has become more and more diverse. The proportion of total revenue has continued to decline over the years, but the absolute revenue is recovering, especially this time the launch of the online translation software business has further reduced the proportion of advertising revenue.”

Earlier, Bluestar Technology was dubbed by many netizens as a high-tech company that lived by selling fancy advertisements.

Research and develop various high-tech technologies, just to sell better advertisements and sell more advertisements.

For a long time, the proportion of Bluestar Technology's revenue, advertising revenue accounted for about 70% to 80% for many years.

For a large multinational technology group, such a business revenue structure actually has a big problem with its ability to resist the cold.

Too monotonous business is definitely unhealthy, and the company's ability to resist risks is relatively poor. Once the advertising business is affected, the company's overall revenue will face large fluctuations, just like the global financial disaster in the last fiscal year. It is not that cloud computing services drive the overall data, and the 2008 report card will never win the dazzling results of 25.5 billion US dollars in revenue.

Luo Sheng picked up the list of Q2 financial reports. The material data is very detailed, many of which cannot be announced.

Revenue in the second quarter hit US$12.77 billion, which was similar to what Wall Street analysts expected. The biggest significance is that this is the first time that Bluestar Technology Group has surpassed US$10 billion in revenue in a single quarter since its inception. This is a feat never seen before.

In the second quarter, revenue increased by 87.8% year-on-year and 63.1% month-on-month. Net revenue was US$100 million, an increase of 68.5%, of which net profit was US$3.7 billion, an increase of 64.6%.

"Yes, Bluestar Technology can basically lock in the top position in the middle of the world's top 500 this year." Luo Sheng nodded with satisfaction and said to himself, in 2007, Bluestar Technology Group had already ranked among the world's top 500. , in 2008 because of the decline in income, some rankings, but still in the top 400 ranks, this year can definitely rush to the top 200.

Zhang Bowen said: "Q2's transcript can break the record of 10 billion US dollars, thanks to the super growth of cloud computing services and translation software business, but Q3's performance growth rate may not be as fast as Q2, unless the personal software business will be Exceeded expectations and ushered in a big explosion.”

Lao Zhang made such a prediction on Q3 performance, and Luo Sheng agrees. At present, large Internet companies around the world have basically bought the enterprise-level solution for the online cloud translation business that has the need and the financial resources, and it is a year. One sign, enterprise customers want to sign three times a year or something, but Bluestar Technology does not agree. At present, only Bluestar Technology can provide a perfect solution for this service in the world.

The version is updated every year, and then there is a reason to increase the price. If you know about reflation, why do you need to sign every three years?

During the second quarter, 140 large enterprises from all over the world chose the enterprise-level solution of Bluestar Technology Group's online translation business.

Luo Sheng can now finally realize how cool Synopsys and Kaideng Electronics are for EDA software companies. One version of software is sold to a company with tens of millions of customers and a family of tens of millions, and the money here is almost paid for lying down. earned.

The growth of the translation software business segment still has huge room for imagination, whether it is individual users or enterprise-level solutions.

There are only 140 enterprise-level major customers. To put it mildly, the Fortune 500 are all potential major customers, and even those large companies that have not ranked among the Fortune 500. The cost brought by the international expansion of business, Bluestar Technology This set of solutions can help these customers reduce their IT costs.

In return, Bluestar Technology can lay down here and earn billions of dollars every year.

From the perspective of the proportion of the major business sectors in the revenue data of the second quarterly report, Bluestar Technology Group's cloud computing services in a broad sense accounted for 60.5% of the revenue for the first time, with a proportion of 36% compared with the previous quarter. two o'clock.

This is all thanks to the strong revenue increase of the online cloud translation business. In addition to the enterprise-level solutions accounting for the absolute majority of the revenue, the solutions of other customer groups have also performed very well. The key is that there will be too much in the future. room for growth.

Even if the global user scale of the ordinary version of the translation solution has reached 3.28 million, the revenue has reached 57.62 million US dollars;

The cumulative global user base of the home version is 1.12 million and the revenue is US$90 million;

The cumulative global users of the education version are 1.3 million, and the revenue is 142 million US dollars;

The Small Business Edition has accumulated 150,000 global customers and generated $65.42 million in revenue;

The accumulated global users of the professional version are 420,000, and the revenue is 427 million US dollars;

Enterprise-grade solutions have won 140 major customers and generated $100 million in revenue.

According to a general ledger, the online translation business generated about 4.07 billion US dollars in total revenue in the second quarter, which also hit a % of the total revenue of Bluestar Technology Group in the second quarter.

There is no doubt that this business has not only been a great success, but also has a rhythm that can make money that even a money printing machine can't print.

In this business segment, in addition to enterprise-level solutions, Bluestar Technology attaches the most importance to the professional version and the education version. The sales here are stronger than the small business version, because the customer group of academia and graduate students.

The biggest purpose of this customer group subscribing to the professional version is to download papers. The reason why the professional version is more expensive than the small business version is because too many terms are too professional and relatively niche, which means collecting big data and updating the database in real time. is to incur huge costs.

The biggest feature of the professional version is rigorous professionalism, which is a service specially designed for the exchange of scholars from all over the world in academia. Rigorous professionalism is the key to the success or failure of this service.

To this end, Bluestar Technology has to continue to fund the academic world, including cooperation with those academic journals, otherwise how can people give you data? How can I advise you?

There are all costs here.

However, the academic community is also very willing to cooperate with Bluestar Technology Group at this level, which is mutually beneficial and can be said to be very positive.

The reason is also very simple. The academic world does not have so many turbulent games in the market. Most scholars hope that researchers from all over the world can break the barriers of language, culture and communication. Academic progress is a great contribution.

The education version is also highly valued by Bluestar Technology. There is no other, just from a commercial point of view, the education industry is absolutely profiteering.

In the domestic market, the best seller is not the small business edition, nor the home edition, nor the regular edition, but the education edition.

Parents will not be stingy with their children's education investment, otherwise the various cram schools that are mushrooming after the rain are fake?

The Xiaobawang learning machine can sell like crazy, to a large extent, it is tied to the word "learning" in marketing.

Parents, if you listen to it for learning, then buy it, and bring a keyboard, which is actually a game console. How many of them will be really used for learning?

Isn't it all like Double Dragon, Super Mario, Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles?

There is no doubt that the commercial value of the education version has great potential in the future, and it is worth digging deeply in this section, especially the domestic market. Just thinking about the millions of college students graduating across the country in a few years, or even thousands 10,000, and it is the annual amount. There is no doubt that as long as it is related to education and the performance of children, parents will definitely pay the bill willingly.

It's not that Luo Sheng wasted money on students for this, but it was really helpful to education, especially for college students and postgraduate students. It is very helpful to read some academic papers and read foreign academic journals. These Bluestar Technology Group All are cooperative.

Online translation software is not a game software. Even if you buy this service product, you can expand your horizons by communicating with international friends. That is better than saving Celia in a dungeon every day, right?
