Global Monopoly of Technology

Burn more money than the company's online streaming online video business?

Everyone couldn't help but be surprised when they heard it. You must know that the most expensive module of Bluestar Technology's operating costs so far is the online video business segment.

This has not yet been agreed with major entertainment companies on copyright issues. If copyrighted videos are introduced, it will be an astronomical expense.

Luo Sheng looked around the crowd and continued: "The company is very rich and short of money now, so I decided that the company will not pay dividends this year, next year, and will not pay dividends in the next five, ten, twenty years, not only will it not pay dividends. Dividends, we will also issue bonds in the name of the company to raise funds.”

As soon as these words came out, everyone looked at each other in dismay. No dividends will be paid for ten or twenty years. That is to say, if you want to wait for the dividends of holding Bluestar Technology stock, don't think about it. The executives present are now Bluestar Technology. Shareholders, all of your options have not been fully converted into real shares, but some of them have been converted into real shares through exercise.

The company decides whether to distribute dividends or not, of course, the board of directors has the final say, and the board of directors has the final say.

If he said no dividends, then there must be no dividends.

However, everyone does not think it is inappropriate, because the dividends are far less than the return of the stock price appreciation, and the ratio in the hands is only a few tenths, which is only a few hundred thousand a year. Promote the doubling of the stock price, and cash out a little bit is ten times the profit.

Shareholders want both stock appreciation and dividends, which is impossible for Luo Sheng.

It is also necessary to issue bonds. In recent years, the richer the company is, the more it is necessary to issue bonds. In the last life of Luo Sheng, Apple with a market value of trillions, and a cash reserve of one or two hundred billion are still issuing bonds.

Is Apple short of money? of course not!

Even in this life, even now, Apple, under the leadership of Gang Master Qiao, has not paid dividends for more than ten years.

Irene said at this time: "But the law stipulates that the company must pay dividends once within five years."

Luo Sheng waved his hand and said with a smile: "Once every five years, it doesn't matter, just divide it, then divide it once every five years, and then divide it once... 5 million, not US dollars, soft sister coins."

Everyone: "..."

Some investors who want to wait for dividends from holding Bluestar's shares will definitely be angry if they hear this.

At this time, Luo Sheng put away his casual attitude,

He also sat upright, looked around the crowd and said seriously: "Everyone present here is not only the actual manager of the company, but also the shareholders. When I talked about dividends at the meeting, I also gave a precaution in advance, so as not to think wildly. Dividends are petty. In 1985, 90% of the world's listed companies paid dividends, and this year the proportion is only one-third.”

Luo Sheng sat back against the chair again and added: "It is a new international trend that listed companies do not pay dividends, and I am not blindly following the new trend, nor will I go against the general trend. This is the right thing to do. For shareholders, it is more important to The important and better return is the stock price increase, not the dividend. What is the dividend per share? What is the price doubled? Right?"

Everyone nodded silently. Luo Sheng's words were indeed correct. If you are worried that the stock market will not be good in the future, then sell a part of the cash now. The amount of cash out may exceed the dividend income in the next 20 years or even longer. This is quite Yu received twenty years of dividend income in advance, and he still holds most of the stocks.

Concentrating the net profit in the company's cash pool is used to develop the company, thereby increasing the stock price, and the return on the stock price increase will always be greater than the dividend.

It is impossible for one end to enjoy the benefits of rising stock prices and the other to enjoy dividends.

As long as Luo Sheng is at the helm of this company, this will never happen.

Shareholders are definitely unhappy, especially major shareholders, they are definitely against it, people are greedy.

But Luo Sheng didn't care if they were happy or not, and they didn't care if they objected.

Luo Sheng's idea is very simple, to change the thinking of the core management, if it really can't be turned around, then slap it off, it won't be too much.

Even Xu Yong, the co-founder, if he dared to shout about dividends, Luo Sheng would still not hesitate, and how could he be indecisive if he didn't take charge of the army?

However, after the management team said this after Luo Sheng, everyone had doubts, but now they have been solved.

Because relatively speaking, they are not big shareholders like Wall Street, and dividends are indeed the lowest income for them.

On the contrary, if the stock price goes up, their earnings will be higher.

Xu Yong must be a major shareholder. As the co-founder of Bluestar Technology, he still holds 2.96% of BTC shares after cashing out, making him the company's second largest individual shareholder after Luo Sheng.

But for Xu Yong, this has already made him very satisfied. The wealth he possesses is already an astronomical figure, and in his eyes it is already a series of numbers.

"Let's talk about new projects. This year, we will strive to reach the 100 billion mark in market value. This time there must be a big move."

Xu Yong did not let Luo Sheng down. At this moment, he decisively jumped out to cooperate with Luo Sheng. Over the years, he has grown a lot by "practising" with Luo Sheng. As a co-founder, he is unswervingly standing with Luo Sheng. On the same front, the co-founder should help the boss instead of causing trouble. This is the biggest achievement Xu Yong has summed up so far.

When the senior executives at the meeting heard this, they immediately put aside their thoughts, wanting to obtain greater benefits, and doing their best to make the company bigger and stronger than anything else, so everyone unanimously looked at the big boss.

Hearing this, Luo Sheng said with a smile: "In the next period of time, the company's stock price may fluctuate greatly, so don't worry about it, because once this project starts, the market may not be optimistic, and I want to make the stock price 100 billion US dollars this year. It depends on whether the market has confidence in us.”

Whether the market has confidence is unknown, but the managers present are absolutely confident.

Especially Feng Yi and others who followed Luo Sheng all the way in the early days already had blind confidence and admiration for him.

After a while, Luo Sheng looked at everyone and said, "During the global roadshow of our company's IPO listing, a rather low-key e-commerce company in North America quietly launched a new product service in March this year. , called... Elastic Computing Cloud Service. Well, who knows? Who cares?"

Everyone couldn't help looking at each other when they heard it, most of them had never heard of it. At that time, they didn't have time to pay attention to these things.

But that's not all. Just as Luo Sheng was half-selling, Zhang Bowen, who was present at the meeting, said uncertainly, "Mr. Luo, is the company you're talking about the North American e-commerce Amazon?"

Luo Sheng glanced at Zhang Bowen in surprise, then nodded and smiled: "Yes, it's Amazon, which started out by selling books."

After taking a sip of water, he continued: "[Elastic computing cloud service] is a new concept, but as long as you pay attention to the development history of the IT industry, you should know Sun Microsystems, this technology can be traced back to 1988. The concept of 'the network is the computer' was first proposed by John Gage, co-founder of Sun Microsystems in 2008."

"If you go back further, it may be until 1979 when IBM launched the IBM-PC, and computers were popularized from enterprises to individuals, and users could have their own personal computers."

"Then I will combine 'elastic computing cloud service' with 'the network is a computer', change a new term [Cloud Computing], and translate it as [cloud computing]."

cloud computing?

Everyone couldn't help but recite this new concept in their hearts, feeling quite novel for a while.

The boss has always liked to propose some new concepts. For example, new terms such as [web2.0] and [self-media] are now spread by word of mouth in the industry and are often quoted.

Because it is really useful and concise.

After a while, Xu Yong said: "I know Sun, and I have an impression when the boss said this. It is true that 'the network is a computer' was first proposed as a concept in the late 1990s."

Xu Yong turned to look at Luo Sheng and added: "But this is still a concept now, this technology has only been considered to be applicable to supercomputers, and ordinary Internet users can enjoy such cloud computing services? Even if I'm afraid I'll have to wait a long time for that to happen."

Luo Sheng said: "Strictly speaking, cloud computing is not a cutting-edge technology concept, but there is no doubt that it will be born and applied, it will also change the world, and it will bring unimaginable terrifying benefits. What is the most valuable in the new century? You might say talent? Core technology? Yes, but neither, but data! Big data is the most valuable!"

Another new concept term is thrown out, big data, cloud computing, and everyone can't understand it.

Seeing this, Luo Sheng thought for a while, and said in another way, "Let me tell you this. Why, as a social product, QQ's advertising monetization ability is extremely poor, and BlueSpace is now able to make money every quarter. We bring in billions of dollars? Huh?"

Everyone looked at each other.

Is it because of big data?
