Global Monopoly of Technology

(The chrysanthemum has already been exploded, ask for a monthly ticket to explode it~~)

——

On the same day, in the Western Hemisphere in the middle of the night, the Los Angeles special telegram came in the middle of the night with the financial report issued by the Bluestar Technology Group, which awakened countless shareholders and investors.

According to the financial report, the total revenue of Bluestar Technology in the first quarter of this year reached 1.58 billion US dollars, a year-on-year increase of 263% compared with 434 million US dollars in the same period last year, and a month-on-month growth of 33%, far exceeding analysts' expectations.

The operating profit in the first quarter reached US$428 million, a surge of 135 times compared with the US$3.17 million in the same period last year; the net profit was US$247 million, an increase of nearly 138 times compared with the US$1.79 million in the same period last year.

In the first quarter, 79.4% of the total revenue came from advertising revenue, 73.5% of the total revenue came from the BlueSpace operating business segment, and over 83.2% of the total revenue came from overseas markets.

The proportion of overseas revenue has reached a new high, which has exceeded 80% compared with last year, while the proportion of advertising revenue has dropped to 80% for the first time.

The change in the revenue ratio this quarter has a major factor in the game business of Bluestar Technology Group. The three game companies acquired last year performed well. Among them, Take-Two is the most eye-catching company, especially the representative work of its subsidiary R Star. The "GTA" series is a best-seller and has won a number of Golden Joystick Awards in the industry.

Take-Two completed the adjustment of the company under the suggestion of Luo Sheng, and quickly got out of the predicament. It took off directly this year, and the current market value has exceeded 2 billion US dollars.

And the fat Valve company is joining the Bluestar Technology Group array, which has ushered in a big explosion in the past year, because Valve company has obtained the entrance of the two social networking sites BlueSpace and MicroBlog, which has caused the number of users of the Steam game platform to skyrocket. It is still an entry bonus from the BlueSpace website, because the precise push effect is outstanding.

As of 2006, the data on the Steam platform showed that there were 77.5 million user registrations, which made Microsoft quite regretful. You must know that G Fatty found his old owner to do Steam at the beginning, but he refused because he couldn't understand it.

Now it has become an online game store on the PC side, and more and more small and medium-sized third-party game developers are publishing games on this platform.

The rise of Steam has grown into a force that cannot be underestimated in the game industry, and major game manufacturers in the world are looking at it. The key is that there is a technology giant behind it, which is very important.

After tasting the sweetness of the A-level entrance of Bluestar Technology,

G fat said not to be too fragrant, G fat is not fat now, and then it started to be fed more and more fat by players, and it is evolving towards the real G fat.

The sudden emergence of Valve in a short period of time has also made Sony, Microsoft and other first parties feel threatened, and the PC side has robbed profits, so the growth of console sales must have an impact, and the market is so big.

What they are most worried about now is that 3A-level masterpieces will land on the Steam platform, or even be exclusive. Although PC hardware and entertainment attributes are not as good as game consoles, technology has been improving. These big companies are looking at future trends.

Once an explosive model comes out, the impact it brings will not be scratching the itch. This is what Sony, Microsoft and other first parties are really afraid of.

Obviously, Luo Sheng won again.

When he acquired these game companies last year, he was generally questioned by the industry at first, and now those who questioned are honestly shut up, or conversely boasted.

From the perspective of business investment, the money Luo Sheng spent last year was a rhythm of making a lot of money.

And CD Projekt Red, the third game company "Polish Stupid" acquired by Luo Sheng overseas, after obtaining investment without financial difficulties, is now vigorously developing two games, one was released at E3 in 2004 The "Demo", while the other is the first work in the "Witcher" series, both of which are planned to be officially released next year.

Although "Polish Stupid Donkey" is not as eye-catching as Valve or Take Two at present, due to Luo Sheng's personal effect, this company is now also attracting attention in the industry.

The three game companies that Luo Sheng acquired have been in a state of stocking since they poured money out and merged them into the Bluestar Technology Group. They have not interfered with any of their operations, not to mention that Valve has also given A-level entrances in the drainage.

This surprised people in the game industry who originally thought it was the second Vivendi. It was an angel who dared to come back, not a demon?

...

The first quarter financial report disclosed that investors regained their confidence in Bluestar Technology Group, and it was a sure thing to stimulate the rise of BTC stock price.

Due to the time difference, the Western Hemisphere is one day late. On April 17 in the Western Hemisphere, the Nasdaq opened as scheduled, and the stock of Bluestar Technology jumped higher. , once again surpassed Dell and Apple, second only to Samsung Electronics.

Luo Sheng used facts to prove a point to the market and investors. Those who believed in him made a lot of money, while those who questioned him basically lost, and even lost his underwear.

In mid-to-late April, major listed companies have also released their own financial reports. Google has not released audited financial reports, but its Chief Financial Officer George Reyes said on Friday, April 21 that the growth in advertising revenue Momentum will slow.

Affected by the news, Google's shares fell $27.76 per share on Friday to close at $362.62, a 7.11% decline.

Reyes later spoke at an investor conference, saying that Google's growth depends on acquiring new users in the future, or entering new markets, rather than improving its existing online search advertising business.

According to the latest data, the online search advertising business accounts for 97.5% of Google's sales, which is more than that of Bluestar Technology.

On April 23, Google finally announced its first-quarter earnings.

Unlike most listed companies, Google has always pursued a strategy of not providing performance targets. Bluestar Technology Group also does not provide performance targets. It does not want the company to blindly pursue profits and get lost in it. Surprisingly unanimous consensus.

Similarly, the stock prices of the two companies are easily affected by performance expectations or forecasts. After Google's first-quarter earnings report was released, its performance failed to meet analysts' expectations, causing the stock price to plunge 19%, which can be described as a big dive.

This is the first time Google's profit has fallen short of Wall Street analysts' expectations since it went public in August 2004, and its stock has risen more than 400% since its IPO, reaching as high as $475 a share.

And this big drop has also caused Google's market value to drop from second to sixth among the world's top ten technology companies in the IT field. The top five are Microsoft, IBM, Intel, Cisco, and Samsung Electronics.

Google ranks sixth with US$112.6 billion, and behind Google is Bluestar Technology Group. Since the gap-up on April 17, BTC stocks have grown fiercely this week, reaching US$87.2 billion. .

Behind Bluestar Technology Group are Apple, Dell and Yahoo.

The market value of Google is getting closer, and the market value of Apple is also getting farther and farther. Maybe it will surpass Google's pace in the second quarter of this year. This is possible.

Obviously, Google's operating income relies heavily on the advertising business, and Yahoo and Microsoft are catching up, not to mention the Bluestar Technology Group, which went public this year. Bluestar Technology is the biggest threat to Google.

Although the stock price plummeted for a while due to the turmoil of investing heavily in cloud computing services some time ago, the big counterattack was completed on the day the first quarter financial report came out.

As the newly emerging world's top Internet giants, the two companies are often compared by Silicon Valley and Wall Street, and are hailed by Silicon Valley as "Gemini" companies for IT rookies.

Obviously, the eye-catching performance of Bluestar Technology is also an indirect blow to Google.

It is worth mentioning that the advertising business still occupies an absolute proportion of Bluestar Technology's revenue, and the financial report just disclosed shows that the proportion has dropped significantly compared to the past.

But the operating income has not dropped but has risen sharply, which is the most dazzling place.

There is no doubt that Yahoo and Microsoft's catch-up is secondary, and Bluestar Technology Group is the key to putting a lot of pressure on Google.

But Google is definitely not sitting still.

At the end of April, Larry Page very decisively set fire to Luo Sheng's back garden, and Google began to have frequent contact with BlueSpace's competitor, MySpace, the second largest in the industry.

This also attracted the attention of Bluestar Technology.

Obviously, it was an undisguised rhythm for Page to try to light a fire in Luo Sheng's backyard.
