Global Monopoly of Technology

At the end of the second quarter of 2009, the cloud computing services of Bluestar Technology Group still dominated the market with a market share of more than 70%. Services revenue hit a whopping $7.7 billion in the second quarter of this year alone, surpassing total cloud services revenue for all of last year.

For this financial report, Luo Sheng focused on the content related to cloud services, but in the social network, he took a rough look.

In 2009, the number of global users of the domestic version of BlueSpace has exceeded 400 million, and the users are mainly from the mainland and neighboring countries in East Asia, as well as overseas students; the number of global users of the international version of BlueSpace has reached 558 million;

Reddit's global users exceeded 500 million;

The number of users of Bluestar Music has exceeded 300 million, and the number of global users of the international version of MusicSpace has reached 257 million;

The market share of cloud song search in the domestic search engine has reached 35%, second only to the whiteness.

The number of global users of Weibo has exceeded 300 million, and the number of users of the international version of MicroBlog has accumulated to 339 million;

The number of global users of Bluestar Video has reached 350 million, and the number of global users of the international version of Bluestar Video has exceeded 500 million;

The cross-platform chat application WhatAPP has 13.85 million users worldwide.

In all its business segments, except for WhatAPP, which was launched soon, the number of users of other products has exceeded 300 million. No matter from which point of view this data is viewed, Bluestar Technology Group has such a powerful set of "family buckets". The lineup is the undisputed super social overlord in the world today.

Any product that comes out is unicorn-level.

Luo Sheng put down the materials and said with a smile: "If there is no problem with the audit, let's release it to the public. Our stock should rise a little faster. Microsoft is already catching up with us."

Zhang Bowen couldn't help but smile and nodded, the two sides chatted for a while, and then Lao Zhang left the CEO's office.

Luo Sheng stayed here for about ten minutes, then left the Bluestar Technology headquarters and went to the Azure Coast Laboratory to check the progress of the third-generation smartphone.

Entering the third quarter of 2009, Luo Sheng's work focus will undoubtedly be further placed on the Côte d'Azur company. The autumn conference will launch the third-generation smartphone, which is already imminent.

The company has not launched a new generation of products for almost two years.

The current situation is that major mobile phone manufacturers have been established one after another, and overseas technology companies including Samsung have also entered the field of smartphones and launched products one after another. With the development of Huaqiangbei, all kinds of fake smartphones are also springing up like mushrooms after a rain.

The industry will soon become a sea of ​​red, with so many brands, only a handful will survive.

Luo Sheng naturally wants to keep Côte d'Azur leading all players in the industry.

...

The next day, after obtaining Luo Sheng's approval, the second quarterly report of Bluestar Technology Group was officially released.

Foreign news reported that the report card of the second quarter report of US$12.77 billion had blinded the industry, which was 2 percentage points higher than the estimates of Wall Street analysts.

In the second quarterly report, Bluestar Technology delivered an unexpected report card for the market, and created the company's history. For the first time, the revenue in a single quarter exceeded 10 billion US dollars.

The four words super giant are well deserved.

The second quarterly report disclosed that cloud computing services have skyrocketed, reaching US$100 million. Thanks to the instant translation of the new business that was launched soon, this quarter generated US$4.07 billion in revenue. The most important thing is that the revenue here is for Bluestar Technology, the major multinational Internet companies. Tech giants have to pay an annual "translation tax" worth $23.47 million, which is equivalent to the rhythm of counting money in the future.

Wall Street analysts are still reliable, the only error is the sales of the education version, and the sales in the Greater China market far exceeded analysts' expectations.

The performance of other business divisions of Bluestar Technology Group, the traditional social network sector, was in line with analysts' expectations.

But the most promising thing is that the business sector of Bluestar Technology is showing a trend of innovation, diversification and balance, and the cloud computing service sector in a broad sense leads the performance. However, 30% of it is actually advertising, followed by social networking. The performance of the business unit is still the absolute proportion of advertising revenue, and virtual gifts are all side dishes.

Another major performance highlight is the game division. Bluestar Technology does not make games by itself, and the e-sports business group is losing money, but it can be ignored. Its subsidiaries, such as Valve, Blizzard, Take-Two, and the "Polish Donkey" CDPR The company's industry is performing exceptionally strong.

Since last year, Take-Two has also consolidated its financial statements with its parent company, Bluestar Technology. So far, these gaming companies have all consolidated their financial statements with their parent company.

Blizzard Entertainment's "World of Warcraft" new expansion "Wrath of the Lich King" has performed exceptionally well since its release, allowing this phenomenal game to continue to dominate the PC-side online game market, and the mainland will be released next year.

V's performance is quite good. Its "DOTA" is popular nowadays. Speaking of this, there have been some disputes. Blizzard and "Ice Frog", the core map maker of "DOTA", fought a lawsuit. The latter Decisively "rely on" V agency.

Since the parent company Bluestar Technology acquired these two game companies, they were in a state of "stocking", and they didn't care at all. The following major game developers operated independently, and their peers were enemies, and they fought each other from time to time.

In the end, the trouble went to the parent company. The parent company of Nima is not easy to deal with. Zhang Bowen's strategy is...don't care.

Go ahead and make trouble, anyway, it's mine in the end anyway, so it's safe to say that the parent company didn't abide by its original promise and interfered in your operations.

So the two sides can only fight.

And this kind of trivial matter didn't even reach Luo Sheng's ears.

The "Witcher" released by CDPR is also quite eye-catching. Although it did not become a phenomenal masterpiece, it is also a best-selling work.

The most dazzling is undoubtedly Take-Two's R star. The fourth installment of its flagship "GTA" series was released in early December last year. I still remember that some analysts predicted that "GTA4" sales in the first week will reach 5.8 million. Set around.

At the time, most people thought such predictions were too optimistic, because even GTA San Andreas, whose predecessor dominated the all-time PS2 software sales chart, took nearly a month to break the 5 million unit sales.

However, the final result was that "GTA 4" sold 3.6 million units on its first day of sale and broke 6.5 million units in its first week.

In the face of such crazy numbers, it may seem a bit outdated to describe it as "monster software".

Throughout the dazzling report card in the second quarter of 2009, the game division of Bluestar Technology Group contributed 990 million US dollars in revenue this quarter. This is a low season when several game companies have no major releases. Such achievements It is not dazzling.

In addition to envy, people can only be jealous and sigh.

At the beginning, Luo Sheng's acquisition of these companies was questioned by investors, and now he has become a super cash cow of Bluestar Technology Group, reaping wildly profits in the global game market.

With this dazzling report card across the ocean, the Nasdaq opened the next day, and the stock of Bluestar Technology rose sharply at the opening, up 7.5% on the day, about 17.15 billion US dollars, and the market value of after-hours trading was innovative Bluestar Technology The group has reached a record high with a total market value of 100 million US dollars, ranking fourth in the list of the top ten listed companies in the world.

The third place in front of Bluestar Technology is ICBC, with a total market value of 250.43 billion US dollars.

In second place is Exxon Mobil, with a total market value of $337.2 billion.

The first is China National Petroleum, with a total market value of 352.3 billion US dollars.

After Bluestar Technology Group is Microsoft, with a current market value of $226.7 billion.

There is no doubt that Bluestar Technology is now regarded as a pride in the hearts of mainland netizens who eat melons. Its status in China is similar to that of Samsung in South Korea, Sony in Japan, Alstom in France, and General Electric. Same as America.

In the past, when we mentioned technology companies and the IT industry, it was no accident that companies like Microsoft, Google, and IBM would be brought up to talk about them. These technology companies are indeed great companies.

But no matter how great it is, it is also an American company. For the people in the mainland, they can only envy and hate.

But now, my country finally has a top high-tech company that can be compared with these well-known world-class companies, not only not weaker than those old IT giants, but even better.

This dazzling tens of billions of dollars in revenue is not just a string of data, but also carries the pride and exhilaration of countless Chinese people.

For many fans of Bluestar Technology and Luo Sheng, although they have no real relationship with them, and they will not benefit from the competing reports from major news media in the industry, these news are read with relish and heartfelt.
