Global Monopoly of Technology

Bluestar Technology Headquarters, CEO Office.

"The youngest billionaires in the country and even the world, the youngest individuals who have accumulated hundreds of millions of fortunes the fastest, the news media are reporting your news on the front page and become the focus of attention..."

Irene walked into the CEO's office, opened the door and opened the book with a smile. She said with a smile, and walked away to Luo Sheng's desk, twisting her hips, sitting, and a pair of slender hands. neck.

"...Love and career have a double harvest, and you will become a winner in your life in the year of your career. May I ask Mr. Luo, what testimonials do you want to give?"

Luo Sheng glanced at the pretty face that was close at hand, and said solemnly, "Going to pan for gold again? Didn't you do it the day before yesterday? If it goes on like this, it will be hollowed out sooner or later. Who can stand it?"

Erin: "Isn't it the next day..."

Luo Sheng: "..."

At that time, the sun and the moon were in the sky, and Chibi nostalgic. While laughing and chatting, Yu Yi watched the scriptures, the rocks pierced through the air, the waves beat the table, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. Go east of the river, and the waves will be washed away.

...

As the scene has recovered, Irene's face still has a faint blush left, Luo Sheng is full of blood, but there is really not a drop left.

"The budget for the trip to the United States has already been prepared for you. How long will you be going on this business trip?" Irene said, with a small resentment that cannot be traced. It's been less than two months since the last business trip to North America. go for a trip.

Irene naturally hopes to be with him every day in love, but she also knows that Luo Sheng's career and company development are at a critical moment. Now this pace of life is also very good, and there is a sneaky sense of excitement.

"This time it won't be too long, and I definitely won't go there for more than half a month, at most a week." Luo Sheng thought about it and said that this trip to North America has only one purpose.

Let's talk about audio and video copyright issues.

This trip is scheduled for the beginning of next month, which is April.

And this month, Luo Sheng has more important things, the tide of the mobile Internet is coming, 12% of the equity has been transferred and cashed out, and now there is sufficient funds in hand, he must deploy in the ICT field as soon as possible, the first task is to establish integrated circuit research and development laboratory.

Irene left the office, and Luo Sheng began to think about ICT technology research and development by himself.

The goal is very clear, and the idea is also very clear, that is, to launch the world's first truly desktop-level smartphone before Apple's launch of the iPhone in January 2007.

It is imperative for Luo Sheng to stop Steve Jobs halfway, and he has always practiced the mission of "walking his own way, leaving others with nowhere to go".

...

While Luo Sheng was actively preparing, at that time, in a place far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, two old friends who had known each other for many years were talking face to face.

The two were Apple's then-CEO Steve Jobs, and the man sitting opposite Jobs was Edward Zander, who parachuted into Motorola in January this year to become the head of the company.

Not long ago, Edward Zander, who had just been in charge of Motorola, successfully rejected a major acquisition contract, staged a perfect move, and successfully missed a historic opportunity.

That is about the acquisition of Hua Wei. The two parties had already negotiated last year. Hua Wei decided to sell himself a Motorola at a price of 10 billion US dollars. Both parties have completed the initial signing, but at the last moment, Edward, who was parachuted down by air, felt that it was too expensive. , pushing the price down to $7.5 billion.

Wah was furious and did not sell it.

At this moment, the two old friends who have known each other for many years seem to be chatting quite happily. Both sides talked about some dialogues that Apple and Motorola should strengthen cooperation.

However, the situational conversation that Joe's gang leader is having at this moment is more about chatting with old friends. He should now be immersed in the joy brought by the great success of the iPod, which is bringing a steady stream of Apple Inc. profit,

It can be said to be full of pots.

Edward Zander looked at his old friend and asked a question, "I ask you Steve, when you go out, do you make sure you have three things with you, your keys, your wallet, and your your phone, your iPod is not on this list."

Jobs has always used bullet-like language to attack others, but this sentence from a friend who has known each other for many years successfully hit the Joe Gang master.

Not long after Edward Zander was in charge of Motorola, there were three fires when the new officer took office. What he wanted to do was something he had to consider now. Of course, the first major thing he did after taking office was to successfully keep Motorola out of the door.

Sure enough, it is an extraordinary CEO, and the operation is difficult to predict.

This year has been a difficult transition period for Motorola, which has struggled since the bursting of the Internet and telecom bubbles.

For Motorola at this time, the blow is still from the "next door". While Motorola's stock price is plummeting now, the stock price of Nokia and Qualcomm is thriving.

There is a saying: Happiness is not that you don't have anything, but that the most annoying neighbor next door has, but you don't.

Motorola is in that mindset right now.

"By 2004 this year, Apple's iPod had already topped the US music player market, and market analysts also claimed that the global music player market was nearly 100 million units..." Edward Zander said here, seemingly in the Certainly this work of Steve Jobs, in fact, is first promoted and then depressed.

Sure enough, Edward Zander immediately changed the conversation and added: "But old friend, the sales of mobile phones will be more than ten times this number. If mobile phone manufacturers make music playback a must-have feature of mobile phones, they will even be a must. If it can sync, then the iPod will undoubtedly face a life-or-death challenge.”

These words undoubtedly hit Gang Master Qiao's heart like a bullet again. Gang Master Qiao did not say a word, apparently tacitly acquiescing to this.

Friends who have known each other for many years brought Motorola to the door and hoped to cooperate with Apple. At this time, Jobs' mentality has quietly changed. If it was just a chat before, then now he is really excited about the possible cooperation with Motorola.

But it is like a mountain. At this time, Apple under the helm of Steve Jobs is obviously unable to subvert the pattern of the mobile phone market.

It's 2004 now, and Apple is still lingering on the doorstep of the phone that people can't leave for a moment, and if that's not a crisis for Apple, it's not.

Jobs, who figured it out in an instant, became more active and more patient than Edward Zander.

...

At the same time, while Edward Zander was instigating the gang leader Joe to work together and making him determined to develop an iPhone, Luo Sheng, who was far away on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, was also stepping up his time to start a secret called "Blue Core Project". The project landed.

Obviously, the "Blue Core" project is regarded by Luo Sheng as a magic weapon that can take him deep into the hinterland of the telecom kingdom.

On March 21, 2004, Luo Sheng registered a brand new sole proprietorship company - Azure Coast Technology Co., Ltd.

Luo Sheng transferred 12% of the shares of Bluestar Technology Company, and finally cashed out 2.64 billion yuan of disposable funds after tax. He took out 2.6 billion yuan for the registered capital of the new company Azure Coast. A fraction of less than 40 million was placed on the personal account.

2.6 billion yuan is definitely an astronomical sum in this era, but for what Luo Sheng has to do, it is still very little.

The reason why investors are not optimistic about Luo Sheng's entry into the ICT field is that this field is not an ordinary burning of money. For a start-up company with no foundation, it is simply money that has nowhere to spend and is given in vain.

This is true under normal circumstances, but Luo Sheng is very clear about what advantages he has, not to mention the greatness, but as a genius soul from the future came to this era, under his leadership, he will definitely be able to avoid many detours and realize it. Save countless trial and error costs.
