Global Monopoly of Technology

Bluestar Technology Group and IBM reached a strategic cooperation, and Luo Sheng personally came out to weave a new conceptual term "cloud computing", and supported this field.

His current popularity and influence in the industry, whether in China or Silicon Valley, is a big-shot influence. Even if it is not important, as an industry insider, if a company like Google ignores his views, it is definitely a crime. Unwise low-level error.

In fact, none of these giants would make such a low-level mistake.

Except Yahoo.

With the end of the IT Forum Exchange Conference in Pengcheng, Mr. Ma asked a business unit within Ahri to focus on cloud computing-related topics. With Ahri's current financial resources and scale, last year Ahri had already put Yahoo's business in Greater China. The merger of the business is equivalent to obtaining Yahoo's $1 billion in financing.

Obviously, Ali can definitely enter the field of cloud computing, but he can't play as big as Luo Sheng.

However, Teng Xun and Baidu did not pay attention to cloud computing services. They agreed that this concept was right, but they were not optimistic that Luo Sheng's blueprint could be realized now and in the foreseeable future.

Therefore, these two companies have no plans to enter the cloud computing field, at least not now, including in the next five years.

They were also happy to see what happened to Luo Sheng first.

On the international front, Jeff Bezos, who runs Amazon, has become more determined and is lobbying vigorously to get more capital to invest in cloud computing services in the market.

Google then announced to join, investing $500 million to test the waters.

Microsoft also announced its entry into the field of cloud computing services, and it also dumped $300 million to explore a path first.

It can be said that only Luo Sheng and Jeff Bezos have made firm investments so far, because Amazon, as an e-commerce company, has a lot of e-commerce data very useful, and Jeff saw the value of the entire industry chain. , and cloud computing services are the key.

...

After entering May, the media in the industry frequently reported on cloud computing. Some people in the industry joked that Luo Sheng would become a "martyr" if he didn't do well. Those giants who followed him were the shrewd ones. Like a fool to explore the road ahead.

Luo Sheng doesn't care about some short-sighted remarks. They seem to have forgotten the pioneers who can really achieve great success in this world.

Either a fool or a lunatic following the fool.

After seeing the actions of Google and Microsoft in the field of cloud computing services, Luo Sheng felt inexplicably relieved. If these companies followed suit, Luo Sheng would still be a little stressed.

After all, whether it's Google or Microsoft, their size and financial strength are actually stronger than the current Bluestar Technology, and they are a technology company in North America, which is an advantage that Luo Sheng does not have. The North American land is a complete outsider.

However, the matter of cloud computing has made IBM the first party to benefit, and even the IBM company involved did not think of it.

There is no doubt that since entering the new century, Luo Sheng has set off the first wave of cloud computing services, which has given IBM a huge opportunity.

IBM has been driven by the cloud computing trend, and its market value has soared to more than 140 billion US dollars, and it is now second only to Microsoft.

The strategic cooperation with Bluestar Technology has played a key role, and since May, as major giants have invested in the field of cloud computing, large or small, hardware companies such as IBM and Intel are not calm.

IBM, which has tasted the sweetness, its head Samuel Palmisano is now an "unwavering" public support for cloud computing, and it has been touted.

It can be said that IBM is the biggest beneficiary at present, and has reached important cooperation with two major players in the field of cloud computing services, namely Bluestar Technology Group and Amazon.

...

mid-May.

The headquarters of Bluestar Technology Group, Luo Sheng's office.

"Mr. Luo, there is a little trouble in North America." Zhang Bowen came to his office, and immediately came to report to Luo Sheng when he received news from there.

"What's the trouble?" Luo Sheng asked.

"The North American authorities are choking us on the grounds of data security. The four data centers we want to build in North America will not be allowed to enter the market, and they have refused on the grounds of data security." Zhang Bowen explained.

Hearing this news, Luo Sheng was stunned for a while, but he didn't have much psychological fluctuations, which was not surprising at all.

When Laomei released Bluestar Technology into the North American market, it never imagined that it would grow at such a fast rate to where it is today. Many of its websites, BlueSpace, Reddit, MicroBlog, etc., have monopolized the social network in North America. More than one-third of netizens are inseparable from these Internet social products.

Zhang Bowen couldn't help but admire: "It's still President Luo's foresight, splitting and reorganizing in advance, stripping out the main business segments and dividing them into two, into a domestic version and an international version."

If Americans knew that this situation would exist today, they would not have allowed Bluestar Technology to enter the North American market so easily. Now it is too difficult to drive Bluestar Technology out.

The old beauty can't be reckless.

Since the BlueSpace social networking site exceeded 100 million users in North America, it has been targeted by the North American authorities. At that time, they began to think of ways to kill Bluestar Technology, including non-economic means.

However, Luo Sheng already had this awareness early on. For this reason, he split and reorganized the company, adjusted the business sector, and raised a super luxurious legal team. At the same time, the parent company has a top-down supervisory board. The whole set of systematic layout ensures that oneself do not commit second crimes so as to give the other party a chance.

Lao Mei is now worried about Bluestar Technology making mistakes, even a small mistake will be magnified and become an excuse for sanctions.

Even go fishing in secret.

Of course, it is not enough just to do nothing by himself, so Luo Sheng actively introduces Wall Street capital. When looking at the current ownership structure of Bluestar Technology Group, you will find that Goldman Sachs, Merrill Lynch, JP Morgan, Morgan Stanley, and Citi are all among them. , the background is more scary than the other, Bluestar Technology has their vested interests, and Bluestar Technology is getting bigger and bigger, and their interests are getting bigger and bigger.

Wall Street only cares about one thing...that is profit, everything else can make way for it, and those who stand in its way will be smashed without hesitation, open, secret, solicited, borrowed or stolen. .

As long as Bluestar Technology Group is in the North American market, it doesn't keep its promises and makes full use of the local rules, it is very difficult to be kicked out of this market now.

Zhang Bowen added: "Speaking of another thing, it's very funny. The news was revealed yesterday, Mr. Luo, guess what? The company's stock has risen by 2%, can you believe it?"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng was also stunned for a while, but he couldn't help laughing when he reacted, and said, "It seems that the market and investors are still stubbornly not optimistic about our move in the field of cloud computing."

Otherwise, how could the company's stock jump 2% abnormally because of this news?

Because the North American authorities do not approve, you will have four large data centers that cannot be built, which is equivalent to saving one-third of the cost in the field of cloud computing, and of course the stock will rise.

Zhang Bowen added: "When it comes to stocks, IBM's stock plummeted 3.57% in response, directly evaporating $5 billion."

Luo Sheng said calmly: "There is no need to worry about this matter, I think IBM is more worried than us, they are now the first beneficiaries, IBM will never pay us a liquidated damages because of this matter, and put the cloud The computing business is handed over to Intel or Dell, whoever has the best interests.”

This time, Bluestar Technology signed a ten-year strategic cooperation agreement with IBM, which is a huge profit for IBM. The total value of this strategic contract is 40 billion US dollars, and IBM has no reason to refuse.

If Bluestar Technology breached the contract, it would have to pay a sky-high liquidated damages of US$3 billion, while IBM would pay Bluestar US$1 billion for breach of contract. Although it was less than one third, it was still an astronomical amount.

For IBM, the liquidated damages are not the key, the key is the strategic contract with a total value of 40 billion US dollars.

The entanglement here is even more complicated. IBM's shareholding structure has now been confirmed that its largest shareholder is Warren Buffett, and other Wall Street investment banks, including Goldman Sachs and Morgan, have intricate interests in it.
