Global Monopoly of Technology

Time to enter August.

This afternoon, the heads of the major domestic household appliances industry leaders basically participated in an informal conference held in the cloud invited by Luo Sheng. In addition to the three white goods giants, there were also bosses such as kitchen appliance faucets. Electric appliances, the leading company of sweeping robots, Stone Technology, the high-quality creative small household appliance company Xiaoxiong Electric, and the leading company in the field of integrated stoves, Zhejiang Meida, etc. were all invited.

Most of them are boss companies, and the smallest market value is at the level of 10 billion yuan. For example, the market value of companies such as Bear Electric and Stone Technology is in the order of 20 to 30 billion yuan, and the market value of large companies has reached 300 billion to 400 billion. For example, the Big Three of white goods.

These invited companies have either achieved monopoly or even transnational operations in a line of business, or achieved the top of a line of business, and they are all strong players.

At this moment, Luo Sheng is standing in front of the high-definition giant screen hanging on the wall in his office. It shows the full map of the business technology empire he has built over the past ten years. The current three cores are Bluestar Technology. , Côte d’Azur and Shengfeng Capital, which radiate outward and expand their boundaries continuously.

This map is also presented to all attendees, who can see it through their own panel.

The imprecise correspondence is that content is king, channel is king, and capital is king. Anyone who has one of these elements can become a global first-class giant, and Luo Sheng has all three, and thus builds a company. A very large-scale ecosystem that revolves around each other.

Taking Shengfeng Capital as the core to ensure the liquidity of funds for this ecosystem, cash flow is an indispensable element of any large enterprise. Without sufficient liquidity, systemic risks will arise.

With Bluestar Technology as the core, this ecosystem has ensured the upper-level applications and content cornerstones, the successful acquisition of Fox, the reorganization of Bluestar Pictures and its independence, making up for the shortcomings of the content sector, ensuring that it will not be constrained by Hollywood and content. Being harvested, it is really painful to pay billions of dollars in film and television copyright fees every year.

Taking Azure Coast as the core, this ecosystem ensures the stability of the underlying architecture and hardware ecology. The family bucket series products include Azure mobile phones, ieP tablets, AzureBook notebooks, mainframes, VBM virtual brain machines, plus extended Dabai robots, Azure Pure Electric cars, etc.

The three cores have built a complex ecosystem with the widest radiation range, the most diverse species, and the most powerful combat power on the planet.

When many executives who attended the meeting saw the territory of the business empire created by Luo Sheng, they were both shocked and inexplicably a huge sense of frustration. A comparison of the empire's territory is like a component on it, not indispensable.

Zhejiang Meida is the leader in the domestic integrated stove field, and its market value is only 10 billion yuan. Compared with the revenue of the Cote d’Azur last year, it can achieve sales of 2.7 billion US dollars on average in one day.

In other words, the sales created in a little more than half a day are worth the total market value of the entire Zhejiang Meida.

This cloud conference was attended by the heads of leading companies from all walks of life. Luo Sheng, who was in his thirties, was the youngest, but all of them together were no match for a core segment of the Cote d'Azur. , let alone the entire business empire.

People are more mad than people.

"The richer the species, the healthier the ecology. The development of science and technology has entered an era of homogenization. Before we fail to break through the cradle of the earth, the ceiling is approaching, and the era of stock competition is coming."

Luo Sheng went back to the office chair and sat down while talking. The entire business map displayed on the giant screen on the wall was reduced to a small window. Looking at the bosses on the screen, he continued:

"In today's era, no matter how good a single product is, it's useless, and it can't make you stand out. The real competition has risen to the competition of the ecosystem. Products with the same performance and the same price will definitely hang a single product with ecological support. .

"

The bosses present were all envious from the bottom of their hearts, especially the Big Three of white goods, who were about to burst with envy.

Let’s not talk about the entire business empire ecosystem constructed by Luo Sheng, let’s talk about the hardware ecosystem of the Côte d’Azur, and the whole family bucket of Côte d’Azur is what they dream of realizing in smart home appliances.

Why are Cote d'Azur products so popular? In addition to the technology manufacturers leading the trend with technology, the most important thing is the ecosystem they build.

At this point, the laptop AzureBook released by Côte d'Azur directly hoisted and hammered Lianxiang is a textbook case, that is, it enjoys the premium of the whole family bucket ecology of Côte d'Azur.

To say that AzureBook is against the sky, in fact, it is just like that. Azure Coast officials admit that this is just a random supplement of edge business. It is not as subversive and stunning as the flagships of Azure’s previous generations, and its performance is actually not ahead of its peers. Eighteen A street, but it is to hang up the peers and hammer them.

Obviously, it is because AzureBook has the blessing of the whole family bucket ecology of the Cote d'Azur, and products with an ecosystem are more user-friendly and more inseparable from users.

In turn, users can change a single product at any time, and such users are only temporarily your users and not your long-term users.

To put it bluntly, the cost of a user who wants to replace the whole family barrel product is too high.

Just imagine, a user on the Côte d'Azur, his mobile phone is Azure, his laptop is AzureBook, his tablet is ieP, etc., all of which are tens of thousands of dollars. If you want to change products from other ecosystems, such as Android, you can only change them together. The Côte d'Azur will not be compatible with the ecosystem of the sworn enemy Google, so if the family is not particularly rich and has mines, it will not be easily replaced.

And human beings are a kind of creature with collection addiction and obsessive-compulsive disorder. The family is full of products from the whole family of the Cote d'Azur. Suddenly a Google product appears, and it is uncomfortable. It feels like a traitor in the creampie, and it feels like an "outsider" I would love to replace it.

The most typical example is laptops. Before the AzureBook came out, most of the users of the Cote d’Azur family used Lianxiang laptops or Apple’s laptops, and users didn’t think there was any problem.

The issue of AzureBook's listing comes, and if you think about it, you will become a scumbag. When users see that the laptop is not a family bucket on the Cote d'Azur, they can't bear it, and they feel that the family is untidy and blue. .

As a result, some users decided to buy an AzureBook to replace their old laptops when they broke down, and some users simply threw the old laptops away and bought a new AzureBook to replace them. It is the same logo trademark, which satisfies the collection addiction and obsessive-compulsive disorder, and it feels super and very nice.

The peers were squeezed by AzureBook like this, and they lost in the ecosystem.

The Big Three of white goods are envious, but envy is envy. Everyone understands the truth. Everyone wants to be a platform and build an ecosystem, but not everyone can do it.

The right time and place are indispensable to people and people. The strong are always strong, and the wind has passed.

The ecosystem built by Luo Sheng is basically invincible. As long as it does not collapse, no one outside can shake it.

"Mr. Luo, this time you have invited the leading companies in the entire home appliance industry. This is to 'catch all of us'." One of the executives who attended the meeting said half-jokingly, which caused everyone to laugh. for a while.

He was smiling on the surface, but he was actually nervous.

Everyone knows that Cote d'Azur is lagging behind in the field of smart homes, but with the birth of the Dabai robot, the smart home ecology has ushered in uncertainty again, realizing that the final leader has not yet settled.

Now all major home appliance companies are very anxious, and they all want to make their products intelligent and smart home appliances as soon as possible to achieve ecologicalization. Everyone has an APP that wants to be a platform, such as the three giants of white goods. Needless to say.

Everyone knows that the gameplay of making a platform and making an ecology to engage in a family bucket is very fragrant.

Luo Sheng also said with a smile: "Mr. Li is joking, if I really want to do it all in one go, it's a matter of dividing and breaking it, there's no reason to call the big guys together, money can't be earned, and people's energy is also limited. Whether you believe it or not, I can say it first, Cote d'Azur will definitely not reach out to the home appliance industry. Frankly speaking, the scale of the home appliance industry reaches trillions, but traditional manufacturing does not make money, and we are too busy with projects that make money. Come."

The implication is that if you think too much, I don't like your insignificant profit.

The executives at the meeting felt offended when they heard Luo Sheng's last sentence. There was nothing wrong with what he said earlier, but can't the last sentence be taken back?

This is very angry. The key is that there is no way to refute it. The main business of the Cote d'Azur is a monopoly-level business that represents high profits and high premiums. Profits explode. Last year, the profits alone exceeded 200 billion US dollars. The domestic home appliance industry has reached the total market size.

Although the home appliance industry is also a technology industry, the bigger label is the low-end traditional entity manufacturing industry. If we really want to trace it back, the entire industry is transferred from the United States to Japan and South Korea and then from Japan and South Korea to China, because it is not profitable. Therefore, developed countries will transfer it to the industry, leaving behind the monopoly of high-end manufacturing.

Cote d'Azur is also a monopoly-level high-end manufacturing industry. Everyone is an entity, but it is very different.

However, although Luo Sheng's words made everyone feel that they were offended by him, and there was no substantive commitment, his words made the bosses present feel at ease.

It doesn't matter if you are offended, as long as you don't extend Luo Sheng's claws to the home appliance industry, otherwise it will be impossible to live.
