Global Monopoly of Technology

Chapter 709 [The ambitions of the super tech giants are obvious? 】

Luo Sheng finished his breakfast, but the show wasn't over yet. He didn't close the show, but continued to watch it while lying on the big curved sofa.

At this time, the host of the show said: "I once had a phone interview with Mr. Larry Page, the founder of Alphabet, Google, and he said in the interview that if Alphabet is split into more and smaller parts, it will It is impossible to compete with foreign tech giants such as Huaguo's Bluestar Technology and Alibaba."

Galloway said: "I think it's just an excuse for these tech giants, which in economics they call 'national competitiveness,' and their rationale is: If you reduce our size and power in any way, we will We cannot defend our global market share, defeat foreign adversaries and defend American interests.”

Speaking of this, Galloway sneered: "But from the results, it seems that these technology giants in Silicon Valley still did not beat foreign competitors, but were hanged."

Moderator: "So you don't agree with this point of view?"

Galloway nodded: "I don't believe that Larry Page's claim is true, because smaller, more nimble tech companies have stronger countervailing capabilities than big companies, making Big Mac-level It is absolutely unfriendly to the world, and it is absolutely unfriendly to the entire society.”

The host asked rhetorically: "The problem is that it is still difficult to defeat foreign technology giants. If it is split, wouldn't it have no chance of winning?"

Galloway said: "I think the senior management of the two sides should start more advanced negotiations and jointly agree to periodically break up their respective giant companies, just like negotiating with the Russians to jointly reduce the nuclear arsenal."

Hearing this, Luo Sheng directly gave Galoway two words: naive.

Such an idea is undoubtedly a naive idealist. Galloway's naiveness lies in the fact that he is divorced from the basis of reality and thinks of human nature too beautifully, and the weakness of human nature, its greed is destined to be impossible.

The "chain of suspicion" in the story of "The Three-Body Problem" can be said to perfectly explain the impossibility of Galoway's idea, and there is also a bloody example in reality, and that is Ukrainian.

Back then, the "silly white sweet" Wu Kelan thought that Ying Sauce was a good person, and resolutely dismantled his nuclear power. Now he knew that he was fooled, and it was too late to know that the other party was a rogue, and he paid the price in blood for this.

If it wasn't so "silly and sweet" at the beginning, as the world's third largest nuclear force continues to this day, today's five hooligans would have to be polite to deal with Tungsten.

The show is still going on, Galloway said: "2018 is the first year of 'world domination' by the tech giants, and if we don't make changes, everyone will live in the shadow of these super tech empires for the rest of their lives. I Among the many tech giants around the world, four of them are listed and written into a book - "The Four"."

After speaking, Galloway took out his book and displayed it in the interview lens, which translated as "The Big Four".

Seeing this, Luo Sheng seriously doubted whether this product was here to advertise his book.

Host: "Which are the four big tech giants?"

Galloway: "Côte d'Azur, Bluestar Technology, Google and Amazon. These four companies are the most successful companies in the past decade in terms of market capitalization and influence. How do they infiltrate the lives of ordinary people? Why do their stock prices skyrocket when they cause serious social problems, and when they become trillion-dollar companies, is there anyone who can stand up to them?”

"Of course, among these four companies, Côte d'Azur has yet to go public, but I don't think anyone would doubt that as long as it goes public, it must be another trillion-dollar super company, even more exaggerated than Bluestar Technology, whose revenue this year will exceed Walmart Group became the number one of the Fortune 500, which is an optimistic expectation of the vast majority."

It is worth mentioning that as the first quarter of 2018 draws to a close, there are already four companies in the world standing above the trillion-dollar mark, and three of the Big Four mentioned by Galloway.

In addition to Bluestar Technology Group and Azure Pure Electric Vehicle Company, which have already exceeded the trillion-dollar market value, Google and Amazon broke the trillion-dollar mark for the first time in March this year.

This is because the stock market accelerated its sprint after Bluestar Technology plummeted and surged, reaching the trillion-dollar mark earlier.

This is also not expected by industry insiders.

Galloway added: "Whether you're a competitor, or their partner, or just a regular user of their product, you need to know something about the greatest companies of this era."

Host: "Great? This doesn't seem to be consistent with your previous remarks."

Galloway: "Of course, of course, they are great companies, they have promoted the progress of human society and technology, there is no doubt. However, this does not mean that they will continue to be great, and the problem we are facing now is this The four super tech giants are fully covering and continuously feeding our material and spiritual needs."

"I describe them in this book as the 'Four Horsemen of the Apocalypse'. The power in the hands of the Four Horsemen is constantly increasing, and Luo Sheng's global power is increasing exponentially and has super power, so I say he is the world The most dangerous person ever."

Speaking of which, the screen switched the lens and listed a piece of data.

Galoway's voice continued to be heard in the program: "This set of data is very intuitive, Google occupies more than 90% of the global search market; 95% of young people are using Bluestar Technology and its products; 50% of online transactions, 80% of e-book transactions are done through Amazon; while Côte d’Azur has $350 billion in cash, among all listed companies in the world, only 9 companies have a market value higher than this, but this is only Côte d’Azur’s cash assets.”

The tenth-largest public company in the world so far is Johnson \u0026 Johnson, with a market capitalization of $340 billion.

Galloway continued: "Côte d'Azur has more cash than the combined market value of the bottom 245 companies in the S\u0026P index. Although Azure mobile phones only have a market share of about 15%, they monopolize more than 90% of the industry's profits."

"The four giants have shown themselves in the financial statements of the past quarter, and the Côte d'Azur with the explosive effect of Azure-5 made its revenue increase by 22% month-on-month and reached the threshold of more than 200 billion US dollars in a single quarter for the first time. Blue Star Technology's revenue soared 37% to a single-quarter profit of $12.87 billion. Google's revenue continued to maintain an average growth of about 20% in the past 30-odd quarters to a single-quarter revenue of $30 billion; Amazon's revenue jumped 37.5% to $60 billion, and for the first time in history, more than $1 billion in profit, and finally there is no loss.”

"68% of the people of Magnesia obtain information through the products of Bluestar Technology and Google, and more than 70% of the traffic flowing to major media websites comes from these two super technology giants, and the survival of these media websites is highly dependent on Due to the kindness of Google and Bluestar Technology, Bluestar Technology is catching 33% of the traffic sources of The New York Times, so we found that in the past month, the New York Times criticized Luo Sheng and his company more strongly than peer newspapers. It's a lot weaker, you can judge the reason for yourself."

At this moment, Luo Sheng, who is an audience member, smiled slightly when he heard this. No wonder the "New York Times" didn't sneer at himself very much in the past, and it was not as good as CNN.

"The New York Times" still has a plan. Before seeing Luo Sheng's irreversible collapse, it still did not dare to easily increase its efforts. Holding one-third of the traffic is tantamount to pinching the throat of fate. It's one thing, but eating is more important.

Galloway said again: "For consumers around the world, we can only pray that Google and Bluestar Technology will not do evil consciously, otherwise these two super giants will still seize the Internet entrance, and they will feed fake news like shit. , fake news, fake information fills our throats, and what is even more terrifying is that at this moment, you may even deceive yourself and have an illusion of freedom, and you don’t know it at all.”

Alan, an ordinary Internet user far away in North America, is watching this late-night show, and he takes it seriously. He was fed shit by Google before, but he supports Bluestar Technology even more, because Bluestar Technology has really not been established since its establishment. do evil.

The show is coming to an end here, and at this time the director switched the camera and released the Amazon logo.

Galloway explained this: "In fact, all the ambitions of the super tech giants have been revealed. You can observe this trademark map of Amazon. Below 'amazon' is a smiling arrow pointing from a to z. "Bible: Revelation" chapter 1, verse 8 records - The Lord God said: I am the Alpha, I am the Omega, the Almighty who was, who is, and who will be forever."

The host said, "Alpha, Omega are the first and last letters of the Greek alphabet."

Galloway said: "Amazon's trademark changed from the millennium, like a sickle and a hammer, how ambitious does a company have to be to use a passage of God's words in the Bible to implicitly endorse itself? Google, in hindsight, figured it out, so they changed the name to the tongue-in-cheek Alphabet, and barely got left behind.”

"And Bluestar Technology has made no secret of it from beginning to end. Isn't our planet an azure planet? The scary thing is that the name has not changed since the day it was born. I think Luo Sheng has been He knows his goals very clearly, which is both admirable and unnerving, and in a sense, his strength is higher than Jeff and Page."

Luo Sheng, who was watching the show, felt the difference. Although his evaluation of Galoway was a naive idealist, he did have something, and the angle of analysis and interpretation was quite tricky.
