Benchmarking against Apple and competing with Jobs?

The rhythm of the battle line is getting longer and longer.

Everyone was caught off guard, and after a while, Yu Jun, who was present, couldn't help but say, "Mr. Luo, you mean the new product...... If I'm not mistaken, it's competing with Apple's iTunes, right? ”

Luo Sheng snapped his fingers with a smile, nodded in affirmation, and then said: "On October 23, 2001, Jobs took out the revolutionary iPod from his jeans pocket, and iTunes was upgraded to version 2.0 on the same day, supporting the synchronous online management of the iPod. Soon after, the iPod took the world by storm, and Jobs hoped to capitalize on the success of the iPod and turn iTunes into an online music store, thus allowing Apple to enter the digital music industry. ”

"Boss, the crux of the problem is that our Internet company, the core business is social networking sites, Jobs has iPods, but we don't have similar hardware product support." Xu Yong said straightforwardly, but his words were concise and to the point, which can be described as a pain point.

"It's okay, let's do the PC client first, as for the back, the mountain people have their own tricks, let me sell it." Luo Sheng said with great confidence, he didn't tell Xu Yong about their inner plan now.

Now reborn, of course, Luo Sheng is using his advanced thinking and technical strength to decisively intercept Jobs, and must be the first to launch the first real touchscreen smartphone before Joe's gang launches the first generation of iPhone, and then there will be a mobile platform?

Not surprisingly, Steve Jobs will secretly develop the iPhone this year, and by January 2007, he will launch this sensational electronic product around the world, putting the Internet in his pocket, and the mobile Internet will hit.

Luo Sheng is already preparing in his heart, this year must implement the plan, the starting time is similar to Jobs, and he can still seize the opportunity, Qiao Gang has the advantage of relying on Apple's technology accumulation, but Luo Sheng is not bad, as a genius traverser, his own technology development ability is surpassed, this is his unique advantage.

After a while, Luo Sheng put away all these thoughts for the time being, although the time was urgent, and there were many things to do, but Ruth had to go step by step.

Closing the laptop, Luo Sheng looked at everyone again and said: "Our development plan this time is extremely huge, strictly speaking, we want to make four products at the same time, separate the video and audio, that is, streaming online video and online digital music, followed by the domestic version and the international version, streaming video is the most important, digital music is second." ”

Everyone was speechless, listening to Luo Sheng's methodical speech: "The digital music project, the domestic version is called Bluestar Music, and the overseas version is MusicSpace (music space); The online streaming video project, the domestic version is called Bluestar Video, and the international version is called BluestarVideo, which is the development task that our company will complete in the first half of this year. ”

"Half a year?" Xu Yong was stunned for a moment, and hurriedly said: "Boss, what kind of international jokes, it will definitely not be completed in half a year, and a full fight is equal to four big projects!" ”

"What four big projects, in fact, are two." Luo Sheng said calmly: "Don't worry, you are responsible for the domestic version, and I will arrange the overseas version of the project to be completed by engineers in North America." ”

He hasn't forgotten that Chen Shijun and the other three founders of YouTube are now his employees, and let them lead the development of the international version.

As for YouTube, my brother has come to this era, so it's good to never appear.

"If you don't have to be in charge of the development of the overseas version, it shouldn't be a problem within half a year." Xu Yong nodded thoughtfully, the company has now received about 2.7 billion financing, and it has also moved to Sioux City, rapidly expanding the recruitment of engineers, and Luo Sheng must also join the development sequence, which is not an impossible task.

At this time, Luo Sheng looked around at everyone and smiled: "If BlueSpace is a social networking site based on the rise of [web2.0 era], then the new project is based on the rise of [web2.0 era] online streaming media video sharing website, especially Bluestar Video, this time we are going to make a UGC-based ...... UGC stands for [User Generated Content], which means user-generated content, that is, a video sharing website with user-generated content as the core. ”

Luo Sheng briefly introduced the model and concept of the new project to everyone, and then said with very powerful words:

"The goal of our new project is to create another blue space or another Google, just as the blue space will become synonymous with social networking sites and Google is synonymous with search engines, Bluestar Video will become synonymous with online video services, and will surpass Netflix as the goal of the entire online video industry."

At present, there is only one online streaming video service platform that makes Luo Sheng look at it, and it is definitely not the exposed video and audio launched last year, but Netflix, which has been established for five or six years, which is a North American streaming on-demand online provider.

But "Blue Star Video" is not benchmarked against Netflix, the web2.0 era has only begun to rise, what Blue Star Video wants to do is an online streaming video sharing site, the benchmark is YouTube, of course, there is no YouTube anymore.

This website can't even find a shadow now, and its three co-founders are now working for Bluestar Technology, not now, and not in the future, there will only be one BluestarVideo video website in the future.

Thinking that the number of visits to YouTube in the original world will become a super monster second only to Google, there is no need to think that Luo Sheng will not forget his original intention, remember to follow his own path, and then let others have no way out.

And I firmly believe in the advantage of my foresight, and I can definitely do better than YouTube.

……

After getting the B round of financing, Luo Sheng can be said to be busier, because time is money, and a slow step will lead to a slow step.

He is now famous in the industry, it can be said that he is in full swing, a large number of media want to interview her, a large number of programs want to invite him as a guest, because although his experience is not long, but it is too legendary, he dropped out of school in his sophomore year to start a business, and the establishment of Bluestar Technology Company has risen lightning in the Internet industry and become one of the "BALT" Big Four.

And this year, Luo Sheng is only 20 years old, and he is 20 years old, and the more topical thing is that his worth valuation has reached a valuation of ¥15.5 billion, and the current richest man in China is worth ¥12.4 billion, in other words, according to the valuation, Luo Sheng is already the new richest man in the country.

In order to win eyeballs and clicks, some media directly wrote in the article that Luo Sheng's worth is already the new richest man in China, although the media exaggerated, but it does not prevent him from becoming a hot focus in the business and Internet technology circles, and the rise of the process can be called a legendary story.

It has achieved such a height in a year from scratch, and it also makes many people feel that the Internet field is really a mythical place to create wealth, but many people who have been up and down in the business world for many years do not have too much emotion about it.

After all, in their opinion, the Internet is too empty, and sometimes the worst fall is when it gets up fast, relatively speaking, Luo Sheng is in the eyes of many business tycoons who have been famous for a long time, especially for the bigwigs who do business, his foundation is too shallow, like duckweed.

But this does not prevent the media from chasing it, but Luo Sheng does not have this leisure time to waste to brag, and all invitations and interviews to any programs are rejected by him without exception.
