Global Monopoly of Technology

Luo Sheng must not have imagined that because of his reasons, Ali had been forced to IPO a year earlier.

Although Mr. Ma's opponent's performance is calm, he is actually a group of panic. Bluestar Technology has been through a long battle, and even Wall Street was overturned once last year.

Anyone who encounters this kind of competitor will panic, but they can't show it, not only can they also be very calm.

However, Mr. Ma's analysis is indeed very reasonable. Luo Sheng really can't focus on this one right now. His family's business is too big.

The three major strategies of Bluestar Technology alone are not easy. It is necessary to work on the "Snowman Plan" and the "Ladder Plan". Star Arrow International is currently one of the main focuses of Luo Sheng's work.

Secondly, the new energy vehicle company project strategy of the Côte d'Azur, the domestic semiconductor industry chain strategy, the life science fund strategy, etc.

The family business is so huge that it is enough to just sort out the strategy. Luo Sheng hardly cares about tactics now, unless it is a very important node, such as WeChat, which is a major event related to the mobile Internet era of the entire group company.

As for things like e-sports, if the people below come to him to report and make decisions about the e-sports business group, Luo Sheng will definitely train the other party to be bloody, and then fire him on the spot.

...

As the time entered mid-March, Luo Sheng, who spent most of his time working on Star Arrow International and Climbing Technology, got out of it and took his private plane south to Pengcheng to attend this year's IT Leaders Summit.

This time I stayed for two days and left.

"I'm sorry to tell you one thing. Someone finally doesn't buy your magical aura." Qin Weimu entered the hotel room. She brought a document and Luo Sheng arrived ten minutes earlier than her.

"This is the fax document just sent by Pang Lei." After speaking, Qin Weimu handed the material in his hand to Luo Sheng. He took the material and did not rush to open it, but looked at her and asked curiously: " Who won't buy my account?"

Qin Weimu replied: "The one you named in particular is Zhang Yiming, the founder of Toutiao. I found that your vision is really unique. This person is indeed a bit different from other founders."

Luo Sheng smiled and did not explain this, but instead asked, "How do you say it?"

"I roughly read the information sent by Pang Lei, and there is a sentence from Zhang Yiming that can summarize why he refused the investment of Bluestar Technology: I founded Toutiao,

Not wanting to be an employee of Bluestar Technology. We hope to become a platform-level company with great value and significance to the society, mainly to express to employees or to the industry that Toutiao still has its own ambitions. "

Having said this, Qin Weimu couldn't help but praise: "I don't think you are wrong, Zhang Yiming's statement is really admirable. And he not only rejected us, but also rejected Ali, as long as the giants invest in him, he doesn't care. Hesitantly refused."

Luo Sheng nodded and didn't speak. He opened the materials and began to browse the contents of Pang Lei's report. Qin Weimu also went directly to the bathroom.

I have to say that Luo Sheng really admires Zhang Yiming. From the past ten years to today, the domestic Internet market has basically been monopolized by "LATB".

Baidu has basically fallen behind, Ali has achieved a rise, Teng Xun has made a fortune, and Bluestar Technology is the brand of Huaguo Internet Technology Company.

It is under such a market structure, especially since the beginning of this year, that almost all of the major startups are unable to escape the fate of being acquired or acquired by Bluestar Technology or Alibaba, while other startups simply rush to the bottom of the tree to enjoy the shade. , with the main goal of hugging the thigh or standing in line.

Under this circumstance, Toutiao founded by Zhang Yiming was able to reject the olive branch thrown by Bluestar Technology, which is equivalent to rejecting the huge temptation and insisting on the lofty goal of becoming a platform-level company.

At this point, many entrepreneurs in China have been thrown away, and Zhang Yiming is obviously a few ranks higher than them.

Qin Weimu came out of the bathroom and saw that Luo Sheng was still sitting on the sofa browsing the documents passed by Pang Lei. She came to sit next to her, and couldn't help but say:

"At the same time, he rejected giants such as Bluestar Technology and Ali. I believe Zhang Yiming should know clearly that Toutiao, which is still in the incubation stage, will face the brutal pursuit and interception of the two giants and other competitors at the same time. It can be seen that his Entrepreneurial determination and courage are commendable.”

Luo Sheng nodded and said: "It is indeed worthy of praise. From an objective point of view, this is also an incentive and encouragement for the current entrepreneurs. If the current Internet entrepreneurs have his pattern and courage, then today's China Internet It may break the monopoly pattern of 'LATB' over the past decade and present a new industry pattern."

Hearing this, Qin Weimu tilted his head to look at him and teased, "That's what you said, but you definitely won't see what happened, right?"

Luo Sheng smiled and said, "That's right. Appreciation is for appreciation, every yard is a yard. He Zhang Yiming rejected me, and I wanted to take him down."

Qin Weimu: "Luohua intends to be ruthless, how to take it? Take a step back and say that since you are optimistic about Toutiao's model, why not just let Bluestar Technology set up a development and operation team to copy it? For example, it's called Bluestar Toutiao or something. , so Zhang Yiming has no chance at all."

Luo Sheng: "Direct copying is indeed the most worry-free and labor-saving, and if you do this, Toutiao, which is in the incubation stage, will definitely not be able to turn around. But it's not good, because this way, Bluestar Technology will become bigger and bigger, and it will become old in the future. The hit from Meiyi’s stick is enough to impact half of the domestic Internet, and a little distraction can distract your attention.”

Obviously, it is definitely not the competitors in the same industry who can bring pressure to Luo Sheng now, but the evil American emperor using national power.

As for the commercial competition among peer competitors, Luo Sheng has never felt a clear and real sense of crisis.

Qin Weimu asked, "then how are you going to get him?"

Hearing this, Luo Sheng smiled: "It's simple, you go to arrange the family fund to handle this matter. Didn't he refuse the olive branch of the giant? Then I won't take it directly. With so many private investment fund institutions under the family fund, it is best to be a foreign investment. As for the status, you can arrange to find someone who understands the Internet thinking to talk to Zhang Yiming as a VC, just because he refuses the olive branch of the giant does not mean that he is not short of money."

Qin Weimu smiled knowingly and nodded: "Okay, I'll deal with it."

In this way, Zhang Yiming will have to recognize it when he recognizes it, and he will have to recognize it if he doesn't recognize it.

In today's Internet entrepreneurship field, "burning money" is a perplexity that almost every startup company encounters every day, whether it is Bluestar Technology, Alibaba ten years ago, or the O2O industry, which is burning more and more money.

There is no shortage of big markets in the market by burning money. Whoever burns more money is likely to squeeze out competitors.

Today’s Toutiao was established at the time of the one-year anniversary in March.

As a start-up company, it is impossible to do without money. Zhang Yiming rejected the offer of the giant, so he could only go to other VCs for financing.

In the end, there will only be another plot left in the industry: the consequence of refusing the giant's offer is the fate of today's headlines.

In this situation, he Zhang Yiming is nothing but proved to be an arrogant loser.

Luo Sheng closed the materials and put them aside.

This matter is settled like this. Today's headlines or the future ByteDance is something that Luo Sheng must control. This company is a model of emerging giants rising in the 4G network era.

In Luo Sheng's memory of his last life, Toutiao or ByteDance was the only emerging Internet giant in the 4G era that rose and reached a volume of 100 billion US dollars, especially the company's short video business.

For example, Douyin has made Tengxun feel a huge crisis in China. ByteDance is using this to faintly leverage Tengxun’s social dominance in China. Internationally, Douyin’s international version of Tik-Tok makes Xiao Zha’s face The book can't be calm, and even imitating one can't do it.

In this world, Bluestar Technology is equivalent to Facebook + half of Tengxun in the last life, and Luo Sheng will definitely not let this situation happen in this life. He doesn't want to be like Teng in the last life. In a hurry, Xunxun blocked various links to Toutiao's products on its own social products to curb the expansion speed of the other party.

Internet giants are sometimes replaced, which is also a problem of air outlets. After you react, it may be too late.

This year, 2013, is the first year of the full take-off of the mobile Internet era. Last year, the 4G network began commercial use, and this year has begun to fully popularize the 4G network.

The popularization of the new generation of network technology infrastructure will definitely give birth to new industrial chains and new demands. Now that Toutiao is born, the short video business will soon usher in a new stage. When 4G tariffs are reduced, the network speed will increase. With the improvement, short videos will rise rapidly. At the same time, the online live broadcast industry will also become popular. The e-sports industry will usher in the first round of explosions, and Luo Sheng has already completed the layout many years ago.

Bluestar Technology rose in the 2G network era and dominated the 3G network era, and Luo Sheng's goal is more than that. In the future, he will lead Bluestar Technology to dominate the 4G network era, and ultimately monopolize the 5G network era in the next ten years.
