Global Monopoly of Technology

Throughout the middle and late March, Bluestar Technology has become the focus of the Internet industry, to be precise, Weibo/MicroBlog has become the focus of the topic.

With the end of the SXSW Music Festival, the second promotion of Weibo/MicroBlog was immediately picked up, and "Bluestar Family Bucket", a subsidiary of Bluestar Technology Group, was linked with the current strong user base and influence to drain it.

However, there was no large-scale pop-up advertisement. This is what Luo Sheng hates the most. Although he knows that this is very useful, he hopes to reduce the damage to the user experience as much as possible when implementing the promotion.

Therefore, the main method is to send emails and background messages to some users who have reached a certain scale of BlueSpace/BlueSpace fans, including some well-known up owners of Bluestar Video/BluestarVideo.

Invite these people to register for Weibo/MicroBlog accounts, and then let these up owners introduce their social accounts to users, indirectly driving the majority of ordinary users.

The users who received the official invitation email from Bluestar Technology have all entered Weibo/MicroBlog without exception, because it is very beneficial to them, and there is no reason not to do it, so all of them are very positive.

In late March, Li Mingyuan and David Sachs made their mark in the domestic technology world and North American Silicon Valley respectively.

Li Mingyuan, who is in charge of Weibo, was invited to participate in an industry symposium on March 27. Luo Sheng couldn't invite him, big name, so the CEOs of other subsidiaries should be invited, right?

But the fact is that the heads of other subsidiaries are not very fond of bragging, perhaps because of the influence of the founders.

In fact, Li Mingyuan didn't want to participate, but since Weibo has just been launched, it is also necessary to come out and brush up on the presence. Now is the time to be alone.

At the symposium, the host looked at the young guest Li Mingyuan and said: "We found that the propaganda slogan of Weibo is 'everyone is a media person', which makes me think of two Americans. In July 2003, the Two Americans named Shein Portman and Chris Willis clearly put forward the concept of 'We-Media', which literally translates to 'our media', and the two Americans carried out the so-called 'We-Media'. A very strict definition."

At this moment, when the host paused, Li Mingyuan resolutely took advantage of this gap and said in advance: "I want to say one thing, it is true that the Americans proposed the concept of 'We-Media' in July 2003, but in fact Mr. Luo proposed it a month in advance, of course I hadn't joined Bluestar Technology at that time, I joined the following year."

As soon as these words came out, the people in the industry couldn't help but be stunned for a while. Is there such a thing?

The host immediately realized what was expected, and immediately said: "Mr. Luo? However, it has not been reported."

Li Mingyuan: "Of course it didn't come out, because this is our company's internal communication. Bluestar Technology is a very important corporate culture. Except for food, it is a forty-minute exchange of ideas and brainstorming every day."

Moderator: "Bluestar Technology's corporate culture is indeed very unique, but since the internal communication has not been reported, it should be inconvenient to disclose it? It is inconvenient to say that it is inconvenient to involve commercial secrets."

Li Mingyuan: "Uh, no, it's not really a commercial secret. If I did, I wouldn't open this chatterbox. It didn't come out because the company was really busy, products were launched one after another, and there was no time to participate in interviews and exchanges. Xie Yinbo Mann and Chris have basically the same definition as Mr. Luo, but the term Mr. Luo gave is 'self-media'."

self-media?

The industry insiders present at the meeting couldn't help thinking in their hearts, We-Media, our media, and self-media.

The second of this concept noun!

Just now, everyone doubted whether they would plagiarize the concepts proposed by others. Now that a concept of "self-media" has come out, it makes people believe it a little bit.

Li Mingyuan continued: "Mr. Luo not only first proposed the concept of 'We Media' in internal communication, and defined it, but also predicted the future development trend of We Media."

As soon as these words came out, the people in the industry immediately pricked up their ears. Luo Sheng's not coming out to participate in the industry exchange was really a huge loss.

Li Mingyuan says:

"Mr. Luo believes that the development of self-media will roughly go through three stages in the next ten years. Before the birth of Weibo and MicroBlog is the first stage, which is also the initialization stage. This stage is represented by BBS; In the .0 era, this popular statement is also a concept proposed by Mr. Luo. Mr. Luo believes that the second stage is the embryonic stage of self-media, which will be represented by personal websites, blogs and Weibo; the third stage is self-media awareness In the awakening stage, we mainly set foot in the field of self-media through portal websites, videos, and e-commerce platforms, and the platforms are diversified.”

"At present, the birth of We Media is only a few years old. According to Mr. Luo's point of view, these three stages will exist at the same time, but the relative subjects are different. Weibo must become one of the major subjects."

In fact, Li Mingyuan still did not say the real point, that is, he did not mention the trend of mobile Internet platforms.

The concept of the mobile Internet, Luo Sheng has said in the company's core executive group, Li Mingyuan is definitely one of the core members of Bluestar Technology, and he has already realized Luo Sheng's purpose of establishing the blue coast. .

The boss is playing a big game.

Through Li Mingyuan's dictation, the concept of "self-media" has really entered the public's field of vision. What is even more surprising is that Luo Sheng has already proposed this concept early and made periodic predictions. It can be seen that Lan Star Technology now launched Weibo, I am afraid that he was already brewing in 2003.

As the exchanges continued, the industry insiders present increasingly hoped that Luo Sheng could come out to chat and share his Internet thinking with the outside world.

Now, everyone no longer suspects Luo Sheng plagiarizing the concept of Americans, because it is completely unnecessary. With his current "coffee position" in the industry, he can't afford it, not to mention that Bluestar Technology is practicing it.

However, everyone is very concerned about Li Mingyuan. He became an executive of Bluestar Technology at such a young age, and he is in charge of one side, which is equivalent to a prince of the Internet business empire of Bluestar Technology. Come, let the boss take the limelight, but also let people find that this young Bluestar Technology executive is really not easy.

It is not unreasonable to be able to become "one prince".

In the days that followed, without any doubt, a new wave of imitations came again.

Li Mingyuan's communication at the symposium also aroused great repercussions in the industry, including portal websites and e-commerce platforms.

And the concept of "self-media" has also been widely spread in the industry. In this environment where everyone is imitating Bluestar Technology and madly touching Luo Sheng to cross the river, what he said is too influential, even if it is through others. It comes out of the mouth.

Because the facts are in front of us, the current dazzling achievements of Bluestar Technology are in front of us.

With the passage of time, it came to April 11, 2005. On this day, the domestic technology industry, North American Silicon Valley, and Wall Street all focused their attention on Bluestar Technology Group.

Ten days have passed since April, and the much-anticipated first quarter financial report of Bluestar Technology Group should come out!

All the investors of Bluestar Technology, including the industry, are very concerned about this company, because it was reported on the Internet that the company was ready to seek profit at the beginning of the year.

As the saying goes, it is a mule or a horse, just pull it out for a walk and you will know.

When it just entered April, the major VCs couldn't wait to urge the company to release the financial report information quickly. Even if it is not disclosed publicly, it must be disclosed internally as soon as possible. Anyway, it has not yet been listed.

Investors were also excited after entering April. Under this complex and intertwined mood, Bluestar Technology finally disclosed the company's first quarter earnings report for 2005.

...

Pengcheng, Tengxun headquarters.

Xu Chenghua's secretary entered his office carrying a paper newspaper. "Mr. Xu, Bluestar Technology publicly disclosed the financial statements for the first quarter this morning."

After speaking, his secretary handed him a financial newspaper in his hand.

And Xu Chenghua quickly opened the newspaper. The headline on the front page was the second quarter financial report publicly disclosed by Bluestar Technology. Bluestar Technology finally disclosed the financial report, and Tengxun will also disclose the second quarter financial report the day after tomorrow. Naturally, Teng Xun, who holds the stake in the technology report, is extremely concerned about it.

When Xu Chenghua opened the newspaper and saw the contents above, his entire body fell into a sluggishness, staring at the data in the newspaper in disbelief.

"What? This..."

...

(Ps: It was officially launched in the early morning of the evening, and it was only a few hours or so. I rolled all over the ground to ask for recommended tickets. I asked weakly: It broke out every day this week, and it was still free. Everyone enjoyed it. bacteria.)
