Global Monopoly of Technology

Luo Sheng ended the call with Zhang Bowen, and after sitting for a while, he stood up from the marble seat by the roadside, and then did not continue to start, but took a walk, and several bodyguards accompanying him kept following him.

The pedestrians on the road are all young college students, because Sioux City University is nearby.

I am afraid that there are very few college students today who do not know the legendary figure Luo Sheng.

Especially the Yangchenghu campus of Sioux City University, and the new headquarters of Bluestar Technology Group are only a straight-line distance of about four or five kilometers. Today's young people do not know this company, and who do not know the founder of this company. And the richest man Luo Sheng?

At this moment, when Luo Sheng was walking, the male and female college students on the road couldn't help but stare at him.

Many people are super excited, because this is the first time they have met their idols up close, especially sister paper, they basically have a momentary fantasy that they are Cinderella.

Speaking of which, at the end of the fall of 2007, there was a word on the Internet that suddenly became popular at that time and became more and more popular - Gao Shuai Fu.

And this online buzzword is often accompanied by some photos of Luo Sheng, which has become an indisputable synonym for "high, handsome and rich", and has also become a super idol worshipped by countless young boys born in the 1980s. the most perfect object.

During this time, Luo Sheng, who was walking along the way, would greet some college students who passed by with a polite smile and sometimes nod his head. The sister paper was shocked by the electricity on the spot.

Luo Sheng was very indifferent, but those college girls turned their heads shyly, their hearts were pounding, or unconsciously quickened their pace a bit, feeling guilty for some reason, and they couldn't help but think about it in their hearts.

Speaking of which, the vast majority of college girls in this era are still very pure and reserved, with a green and cute look, which contrasts with the unrestrained personality of the girls ten years later.

Of course, this era is not without it. Modern cities like Shencheng also have exceptions like Irene.

In fact, there are still many people who want to rush up to take autographs and take photos with Luo Sheng, but seeing the seven or eight unsmiling bodyguards beside him, their faces are clearly written that no strangers should approach them. Finally gave up the idea.

However, people who have mobile phones can't help but take pictures in the distance. Most of them are only functional phones, but at least they can take pictures. A small number of college students bought Azure mobile phones from the Cote d'Azur.

This mobile phone can be said to be an artifact of today's outfit ratio, and it can become the object of everyone's attention when it is taken out of the pocket.

There have also been some not-so-positive news. For example, some time ago, someone sold a kidney to buy a Weilan mobile phone, and some girls went to Yuanshou for a Weilan mobile phone. These incidents turned into memes and went crazy online. pass.

What [tap, the Azure thing got rid of.jpg] quickly caught on.

...

At this moment, the people who passed by Luo Sheng were also whispering to their classmates, both men and women.

The whispers of the sisters are as follows:

"Well~~ he was flirting with me just now, that look almost made me cry..."

"I'll go to you, a dead girl, won't it flood?"

"What should I do? I'm about to fall!"

"It's not flooding, it is estimated that flooding has become a disaster."

Here's what the men had to say:

"Technology stocks have also dived recently, and the market value of Bluestar Technology has also plummeted. Mr. Luo's worth has shrunk significantly. He still has such a leisurely and elegant way to walk the streets. As expected, he is the number one idol in my heart, a godlike man. God-like existence, two words - steady!"

"Two words? Mom's mental retardation."

"It's okay, anyway, the change of Mr. Luo's worth on the rich list will not affect my current ranking."

"Forehead……"

"Let me tell you, if you don't work hard, your ranking will be overtaken by me."

"You two... I often seem out of place for you because I'm not funny enough."

"Hey~~Mad, it's really more popular than people. Seeing Luo Sheng's achievements and age, I think I'm going to graduate school right now, and I don't want to work hard anymore, so I'm very desperate, God, I don't want to work hard, give I'm a rich loli."

"Actually, I have a place where I will always lead Luo Sheng, and he will never catch up."

"Just go ahead and put it on. This is faster than putting it on. I'm ready to applaud."

"Hey, I'm serious. I'm 24 this year, and I'm one year older than him. This is where he can never catch up with me. I didn't want to tell this secret..."

"I'm down~~"

"..."

"Where's my BB machine, I can't see this pretender to death."

"Okay, you are cheating, this is more than pretending, and there are some more details in it. The labor and management are speechless..."

...

Luo Sheng finished his morning run, went home to take a shower, and went to work in the company. Not long after he came to the office and sat down, Qin Weimu knocked on the door and entered.

The first thing today is to go to the Cote d'Azur for office.

"Just in foreign news, Sun Microsystems announced Wednesday that as part of a major restructuring plan, the company will lay off 4,000 to 5,000 jobs over the next six months. In addition, the company will sell its New York, California-based company. Walker's work park, and returning the leased facility in Sunnyvale, California, will save the company about $500 million a year in cost savings from this move, as well as restructure its shareholding structure."

Qin Weimu looked at the materials in his hand, then looked up at Luo Sheng and added: "According to the Market Watc** report, the number of layoffs planned by Sun Microsystems this time accounted for about 13% of the company's total number of layoffs. , I think this is preparing for the acquisition of MySQL."

Sun Microsystems is not as rich as Bluestar Technology. Hearing her report, Luo Sheng agreed with Qin Weimu's guess. The other party is likely to be actively operating in order to incorporate MySQL under his command. It is difficult to raise funds, so it does not hesitate to lay off employees to increase income and reduce expenditure. It is estimated that the adjustment of the shareholding structure is for cross-shareholding.

"In terms of financial strength, Sun is not my opponent. If it weren't for the barriers built by the North American authorities, and they tried their best to obstruct them, I would have swallowed Sun together." Luo Sheng said indifferently.

Qin Weimu put the documents in his hand on the table, sat down on the chair next to him, and looked at Luo Sheng: "I think we should pay more attention to Google, which may be the biggest potential competitor of Cote d'Azur, two years It has been rumored before that Google intends to gobble up ailing Sun."

"Google's current CEO, Eric Schmidt, used to be the CTO of Sun, and is the best person to broker this deal, and according to Sun's current market value, Google doesn't have to pay a lot. It's very difficult for us to acquire Sun. But it is not difficult for Google, and at the same time, Google can also provide the necessary software platform through Sun to maintain sustainable development."

If Qin Weimu only had professional qualities in legal affairs, finance and auditing before, then after working with Luo Sheng for so long, she has evolved or improved in the past few years.

Talent is one aspect, but effort is also very important. Talent determines the upper limit, and effort determines the lower limit.

Although Qin Weimu is not a scientist, he has the qualities of a scientist. Scientists are always afraid of falling behind, so they are always learning about external information, analyzing information, thinking and transforming knowledge into their own knowledge, so as to progress with the times.

Before working with Luo Sheng, Qin Weimu didn't have such a deep understanding of the IT world as she does today, but she joined a technology company and self-discipline required her to naturally acquire this knowledge.

"Are you worried that Google will acquire Sun and form a chemical reaction with its Android system team to impact the AOS ecosystem?" Luo Sheng looked at her and said.

Qin Weimu nodded lightly.

Let’s talk about 2005. At that time, it was at the critical stage of the Cote d’Azur [Azure] plan. In August of the same year, Google quietly acquired Android and its team, a high-tech enterprise that had only been established for 22 months. At that time, the eyes were right The target is Nokia's operating system, and now the Android team is frantically imitating AOS.

Also at that time, not only Google held back the big move, Luo Sheng held back the big move, everyone was holding back the big move, Qiao Gang was also preparing for the iPhone project, and also cooperated with Motorola.

Luo Sheng actually wanted to acquire the Android team, but at that time he really didn't have the extra energy to do these things. It was very difficult to acquire high-tech companies in North America, and what happened now is the best example.

Just because of who's surname is the issue may make a simple acquisition difficult. If Luo Sheng's surname is "Mei" instead of "Hua", it would be much easier to acquire Android or Sun. .

For example, Bluestar Technology has been fighting for two years to land its data center in North America. This time, it has basically failed to acquire Sun. It can be seen that Laomei is strictly guarding its own high-tech enterprises.

Fortunately, MySQL is a Swedish company this time. Although it is not easy to acquire European companies, it is still much better than North America. Especially in the current economic crisis, Europe is actually worse than North America.

Europeans also know that they have been miserable by the Americans, and they can't say that they are suffering. They can only break their teeth and swallow them in their stomachs.

Luo Sheng took MySQL into his bag after clarifying the intricate relationship here. Acquiring high-tech companies in Europe and the United States is really not easy, and it is time-consuming and labor-intensive.

However, the success is clearly worth it.
