Global Monopoly of Technology

Chapter 478 [Google's actions]

Google headquarters, executive meeting.

"Current technology stocks have been dragged down by Bluestar Technology and continue to plummet, and batches of people have begun to take to the rooftops, but it is an opportunity for us. Bluestar Technology has been forced to spit out a large market waiting to be received, and Google may become the biggest winner. " Sergey Brin, one of the founders, couldn't hide his happy expression when he spoke.

A group of executives also have such expressions, not only Google, but also North American companies such as Microsoft, Amazon, Salesforce, etc. are now hearing the news, and they went to the original Bluestar Technology customers for the first time to sell their business solutions. .

Right now is the rhythm of grabbing food and grabbing money.

In this incident, there are too many IT companies to be affected, and there are also many small and medium-sized enterprises that go bankrupt.

But to say that the worst North American company is the "Big Blue" IBM, the "friends" in North America have already seen IBM unhappy for a long time.

Because Bluestar Technology started to announce the start of All in cloud service in 2006, IBM made money just by relying on the orders given by Luo Sheng. Over the years, those days have been very nourishing.

And this time the worst is IBM, not only has the follow-up list gone, but now it is entangled in a lawsuit with Bluestar Technology.

Once the lawsuit is lost, IBM will compensate Bluestar Technology with a huge sum of $6.75 billion, which is almost equivalent to spitting out most of the profits it has eaten over the years.

Samuel is furious right now, and his epic KPI target for this year has long since gone bankrupt.

At the Google executive meeting, one of the executives who attended the meeting said: "Our evaluation department has obtained data showing that the blow to Bluestar Technology this time has left at least a market vacancy of more than $45 billion."

A group of executives also showed greedy expressions, at least a market gap of 45 billion US dollars, this is the result of Bluestar Technology's deep cultivation for seven or eight years.

Larry Page looked at everyone: "The cloud computing market is the key point. Now it depends on who can grab more shares with the fastest speed and low price. By the way, what progress has the negotiating team we sent? What is Star Technology's attitude towards selling their cloud computing infrastructure such as data centers in North America?"

Each of these large data centers is a big moneymaker, and the operation and maintenance costs are terrifyingly high. They have lost customers due to force majeure. Now that Luo Sheng has decided to lay off a large number of employees in North America, one-third of the employees will be fired.

In order to open source and reduce expenditure,

These data centers are the best ones to sell.

One of the executives who attended the meeting shook his head and smiled bitterly: "Mr. Page, our negotiation team has already approached the senior management of Bluestar Technology, but unfortunately, they don't sell it, and they didn't even think about this issue at all. "

Page turned his head to look at him and said stunned: "What? Not to sell? The annual maintenance cost of these empty data centers is no less than 4 billion US dollars. Are you sure not to sell?"

Eric Schmidt spoke: "Obviously, this shows that Bluestar's confidence in making a comeback is imperative, so they don't sell it. Don't forget the size of Bluestar's terrifying cash reserves, according to their last The information publicly disclosed in the audited statements is as much as $221.8 billion in cash flow, which is more than twice that of Berkshire Hathaway, and it is also the group company with the largest cash reserve in the world. more than a century."

Speaking of Berkshire Hathaway, now the veteran stock market leader is using his long-stocked cash to scoop up some low-cap but high-quality corporate stocks at a time when the entire market is frightened.

When Paige heard this, he couldn't help but scolded in a low voice: "Sheet, Luo Sheng, this lunatic never regards money as money. It seems that he wants to buy his ready-made data center and other infrastructure and integrate it into Google's banner. Don't have too many illusions. already."

Larry Page's judgment is very correct on this point. Luo Sheng will not sell it at all, and would rather waste it and raise it with money.

It took five or six years of hard work to build the foundation for today. He would rather spend 40 billion dollars in money and spend it in vain and firmly control it in the hands of Bluestar Technology.

It's not just money. Bluestar Technology Group itself has more than 200 billion cash reserves. The purpose of putting so much money in the small gold inventory is to cope with the arrival of this day.

Bluestar Technology's money has been spent, and the family fund still has 300 billion cash reserves. Qin Weimu is now actively preparing for Greece's bankruptcy and making a fortune. Greece will declare bankruptcy this year, and the debt can no longer be supported. Later, the "black swan" event of Brexit can make a serious profit.

The rhythm that this little money will be spent more and more is not certain.

Page skipped this topic: "OK, another key point to talk about today is about the company's spin-off and reorganization. The motion has been submitted to the board of directors for vote and passed. We will establish the parent company Alphabet. Originally, Google will only retain part of the business and lose weight. Become a wholly-owned subsidiary, while other cutting-edge projects will be spun off into independent subsidiaries to form the Alphabet group together with subsidiary Google."

The spin-off and reorganization is the result of Eric Schmidt's vigorous initiative. Although Google's development cannot be compared with that of a monster-level company like Bluestar Technology, it is also growing stronger and stronger, and it also looks bloated. .

Bluestar Technology has done a good job, and completed the spin-off and reorganization before the IPO. Eric Schmidt also had to admire Luo Sheng's foresight.

However, even after the spin-off and reorganization of Google, most of the original business entities still remain under the name of the subsidiary Google, including search, advertising, maps, applications, online video, Android, etc.

As a subsidiary of the parent company Alphabet, Google is the first to bear the brunt, followed by early-stage venture funds, investment funds, X Labs, Boston Dynamics Machines, which was just acquired earlier this year, life science projects, smart home Nest, etc.

As for the management team of the parent company Alphabet, the structure has also been restructured, with Larry Page as CEO, Sergey Brin as president, and Eric Schmidt as executive chairman.

The spin-off subsidiary Google will be CEO Sundar Pichai, the former head of Chrome OS and Android, an executive from India who is now a member of the meeting.

Basically, it's not much different from the original Google management.

At this moment, Eric Schmidt's assistant and secretary came to the conference room and whispered to him. Eric's complexion changed slightly when he heard the news.

"Doctor, what happened?"

Larry Page noticed the change in his expression, and everyone in the meeting looked at him.

As Eric Schmidt's assistant and secretary left the conference room, he looked around everyone and said solemnly: "There is bad news from the other side of the ocean, Bluestar Technology announced that it will actively reduce its corporate profits by 22.3%. The computing services segment cut profit by 30%."

Sergey Brin: "What? Are you kidding me?"

Larry Page immediately opened the laptop work computer in front of him and operated it quickly, and the other executives in the meeting were also stunned by the news.

"Is he crazy?"

"Has the management of Bluestar Technology been fooled?"

"The North American side previously said that it would lay off one-third of its staff to increase revenue and reduce expenditure, and now it has taken the initiative to cut profits by more than one-fifth. Isn't this a contradiction?"

"Luo Sheng's way of playing, even if Bluestar Technology has a huge cash of 200 billion US dollars, it is not enough for him to squander."

"Maybe good news for us."

The executives at the meeting talked a lot, but at this time, Eric Schmidt said: "Good news? No, it's not stupid and it's not good news. This man's vision and business strategy are so terrible that I even doubt him. Reserve more than 200 billion US dollars in cash is to deal with today's situation. Remember a strategy announced by Zhang Bowen, executive vice president of Bluestar Technology Group? Bluestar Technology invested heavily in third world emerging market countries, combined with this news, through self-sacrifice come to forcibly support the opponent..."

Eric Schmidt looked around the crowd and said solemnly: "Those former customers of Bluestar Technology have left, so Luo Sheng has taken measures to support their opponents, which will inevitably cause the original old customers to panic, which is equivalent to forcing their opponents to return. Take the Star-Cloud solution of Nebula as an example. This is the best cloud service in the industry. The price was high in the past. Now Luo Sheng is actively reducing profits to customers. The international competitiveness of Star-Cloud will usher in a qualitative leap. Google -Cloud, AWS has no competitive advantage and it will only get worse now.”
