Global Monopoly of Technology

Bluestar Technology Group headquarters, innovation workshop department.

"Boss, President Zhang is looking for you."

"Okay, you guys continue, email me if you have any questions." Luo Sheng got up and gave a few words to the engineers before leaving.

As Luo Sheng left, several engineers began to communicate.

"It's really not easy for the boss."

"Yeah, on the one hand, he manages several giant groups, on the one hand, he has to go to major R\u0026D departments to climb technology, and on the other hand, he has to deal with the current crisis of the company."

"In the past, the boss could come to the innovation workshop for thirty or forty minutes, but now he was called away in ten minutes."

"It's hard work when your career is bigger. I'd better be a programmer."

"It's out."

"hey-hey."

...

On the other side, Luo Sheng had already seen Zhang Bowen, "What's the matter, Lao Zhang?"

The two were running side by side, and Zhang Bowen said: "Mr. Luo, New Zealand, Canada, the United Kingdom, and Australia have all followed suit, and Lao Mei really hit hard. If we hadn't been prepared, we might have been beaten. Unprepared, and even unable to withstand such a blow.”

Luo Sheng tilted his head and glanced at him before looking ahead: "It's all English-speaking countries. It's not an accident. My relatives in the United States, as I expected, what about the euro zone? What's the situation?"

If the euro area market is also lost, it means that about 80% of the developed country market will be lost. This is a big blow to Bluestar Technology, but it will not die.

Lao Zhang saw Luo Sheng's indifferent demeanor, and while he was in awe, his confidence also rose a lot.

"According to your strategy, the company will increase investment in the euro area market, including profit margins."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng nodded: "Well, if the euro zone can stabilize, try to stabilize it as much as possible. It's okay to have a little blood now. I don't care about the gain and loss of one city, one pool and one time, but the top priority of the core strategy is the mainland market. The in-depth development of China, followed by the development of emerging market economic regions in the third world, the euro area should be ranked at the back and cannot place too much hope.”

"You can't even pay too much attention to the market in Northeast Asia. Japan and South Korea, the two old and beautiful tool countries, will definitely not be able to withstand a little pressure from Sam's father.

Didn't the English-speaking market give up on me? Then lay off employees. About 75% of the employees in the local area, with more than 30,000 people, are the smallest countries like New Zealand, and the market size is not as good as a Sioux City. "

Hearing Luo Sheng's remarks, Zhang Bowen sighed: "It seems that things are more serious than I thought, Mr. Luo, you go to the euro area in person, this is also a kind of attitude and sincerity."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng smiled, stopped and looked at Lao Zhang, Zhang Bowen was a little puzzled.

Luo Sheng: "Attitude and sincerity are indeed here, but it's useless. Not only is it useless, it will even make them think that we can't survive without the euro area market. Believe me, those Europeans will definitely take advantage of the fire. I go there and pay less. For a price, there will be more meat to be cut. They were all things in a stinky ditch hundreds of years ago. Even if they split up or change places, the smell is still the same, and it can't be washed away, so you can go. Now, I'm bragging in the mainland, so I'll do it like this."

Zhang Bowen was speechless when he heard it, and said with a smile: "Yes, I still have something to think about, then I will prepare a trip to Europe."

Luo Sheng: "Well, I don't care how much you spend there or how much blood you bleed, you can do it as you please. I only have one requirement, the premise is that the pride cannot be lost. Even if the developed markets are all lost, we can still live. , and one day he has to come over and beg me for a solution."

As soon as these words came out, Lao Zhang was also in high spirits. He didn't say anything but nodded solemnly.

Anyway, this makes me angry.

Lao Zhang also blindly believed in Luo Sheng, and today's Bluestar Technology does have arrogant capital.

Luo Sheng continued to walk forward, and asked casually, "How much has the company's market value dropped now?"

Zhang Bowen: "Yesterday, after several major English-speaking countries announced the news, the stock market tumbled again. The company's stock price fell below the line of the last thunderstorm. The current market value is only 478 billion US dollars."

The confidence of the market and investors has been completely lost recently. Since the explosion of Bluestar Technology Group, there has been no good news, and bad news has followed.

Luo Sheng glanced at him and said calmly: "What is only 478 billion US dollars? It's inflated, isn't this still the world's largest market value, leaving the second place with more than 100 billion US dollars?"

...

As the English-speaking market has announced a ban on cooperation between local companies and Bluestar Technology, Bluestar Technology also announced that the local area has drawn up a layoff plan due to business setbacks and passed a resolution of the board of directors. The scale of layoffs is expected to be 32,000. Only the scientific research department and the operation and maintenance department will continue to operate. Employees in other departments will be laid off if they can, and if they cannot be laid off, they will find a way to lay off.

Once the news was confirmed, the stock price plummeted. During this time, a series of operations of Bluestar Technology successfully led the entire stock market to dive all the way down.

And these areas are directly fried. You must know that the layoff of 32,000 people is not only affected by 32,000 people. These 3.2 people represent 32,000 families. Nearly 100,000 people are affected.

These people are the backbone of the consumer market. Now that they are unemployed, consumption will inevitably shrink, which will inevitably impact the local economic situation into a downturn, which will indirectly affect the development of many enterprises.

Bluestar Technology put out a budget of 6.3 billion US dollars to settle the severance compensation of these more than 30,000 employees. Having money is human nature.

You don't make me feel better, and I won't make you feel better, isn't it just that everyone hurts each other together?

...

Entering March, Zhang Bowen, as the company's No. 2 person, finally started a business trip to Europe.

Lao Zhang did not go immediately, but started his trip to Europe 20 days after Bluestar Technology announced its plan to lay off 32,000 people.

There is a careful machine here, and it is for the euro area to make a time difference.

Take a good look. Bluestar Technology has 77,000 employees in Europe. If you dare to follow up, Bluestar Technology will dare to lay off 57,000 employees.

On March 17th, the Bluestar Technology negotiation team led by Zhang Bowen and the European Commission formally approached and negotiated.

In the conference room, people on both sides sat facing each other, this was an internal closed-door meeting.

Zhang Bowen, who was sitting in the middle, said:

"Your Excellency Slaine, we are the only ones here, so let's open the skylight and say something bright. Bluestar Technology Group's recent situation is very bad, we admit it. But at the same time, you can't deny that your life in Europe is not very good now. In the same way, the debt crisis has plunged the European economy into a quagmire, and if we have to fight against Bluestar Technology, this is a lose-lose situation.”

Lao Zhang is outspoken, anyway, the meeting behind closed doors.

Europe is facing a debt crisis, and it is impossible to say that the impact of the recent series of stock market crashes on the European economy will not have any impact, even if the world economy is also fluctuating.

The old America is so rigid, but in the end it was Europe that suffered the most, because this is not the first time. The subprime mortgage crisis broke out in 2007, which triggered a global financial turmoil. Ordinary people who eat melon think that North America is the biggest loser. In fact, Europe Talent is.

Under such a big environment, both Luo Sheng and Lao Zhang are quite confident in stabilizing the euro zone market.

There are only eternal interests in the world. After the interests are negotiated, everything is not a problem.

Slaine, who was headed by him, looked at Zhang Bowen with a face as if someone owed him millions of euros: "Mr. Zhang, don't overestimate yourself, you are just a company, and it is naive to threaten the Executive Committee. ."

Zhang Bowen remained calm and said indifferently: "Your Excellency Slaine, this is not a threat, I'm just stating a fact, the truth is that the situation of both of us is actually quite bad, I think we all want to find a solution that can be satisfied by both parties, That's all."

After he finished speaking, Lao Zhang was full of contempt in his heart. These Europeans are here for this sake, and a group of nobles can't let go of their faces. Who should they show their faces?
