Chapter 076 [Azure Coast]

Bluestar Technology Headquarters, CEO's Office.

"The youngest billionaire in the country and even in the world, the youngest and fastest individual who has accumulated hundreds of millions of wealth, the news media are reporting your news on the front page, becoming the focus of attention......"

Erin walked into the CEO's office and flipped the door to the book naturally, said with a smile, strolled away, and came to Luo Sheng's desk, twisted her hips, sat down, and followed his neck with a pair of slender hands.

“…… Love and career double harvest, the crown year to become a winner in life, may I ask Mr. Luo what kind of comments to make? ”

Luo Sheng glanced at the delicate face that was close at hand, and said seriously: "Come to pan for gold again?" Didn't you shop the day before yesterday? If it goes on like this, sooner or later it will be hollowed out, who can withstand this? ”

Erin: "It's not the next day..."

Luo Sheng: "......"

At that time, the sun and moon were in the sky, and the red cliffs were nostalgic. Between the laughter and talk, the feather python watched the scriptures, the rocks pierced the air, the waves took pictures, and thousands of piles of snow were rolled up. The big river goes east, and the waves are exhausted.

……

As the scene has been restored, Erin's face still has a faint crimson left, and Luo Sheng is full of blood to recover, but there is really not a drop left.

"The budget for the trip to the United States has been prepared for you, how long will this business trip be?" Erin said, there is a kind of small grudge that cannot be checked, since the last business trip to North America, it will be less than two months to come back and go again.

Erin naturally hopes to be with him every day in love, but she also knows that Luo Sheng's career and company development are at a critical moment, and now the pace of life is also very good, and there is a sneaky sense of excitement.

"This time it won't be too long, it will definitely not be more than half a month like last time, at most a week." Luo Sheng thought for a while and said, this trip to North America has only one purpose.

Let's talk about audio-visual copyright.

The trip is scheduled for the beginning of next month, in April.

And this month, Luo Sheng has more important things, the tide of mobile Internet is coming, 12% of the equity has been transferred and cashed out, and now there are sufficient funds in hand, and the layout in the ICT field must be laid out as soon as possible, and the first task is to establish an integrated circuit research and development laboratory.

Erin left the office, and Luo Sheng began to think about ICT technology research and development by himself.

The goal was clear, and the idea was clear: to launch the world's first true desktop smartphone before Apple launched the iPhone in January 2007.

Halfway to intercept Jobs, this matter Luo Sheng is imperative, and always practice the mission of "going your own way, so that others have no way out".

……

While Luo Sheng was actively preparing, at that time, somewhere on the other side of the Pacific Ocean, two old friends who had known each other for many years were talking face-to-face.

The two men were Steve Jobs, Apple's CEO at the time, and the man sitting across from Jobs was Edward Jander, who parachuted into Motorola in January this year to become the head of the company.

Not long ago, Edward Jand, who had just taken the helm of Motorola, successfully rejected a major acquisition contract, staged a perfect move, and successfully missed a historic opportunity.

That is about the acquisition of Huawei, the two sides had already negotiated last year, Huawei decided to sell itself to Motorola for $10 billion, and both parties had completed the initialing, but Edward, who was parachuted in at the last moment, felt that it was too expensive and lowered the price to $7.5 billion.

In a fit of rage, he stopped selling.

At the moment, the two old friends, who have known each other for many years, seemed to have a pleasant chat, and both sides talked about some conversations that Apple and Motorola should strengthen cooperation.

But Joe's conversation at this moment was more of a conversation with an old friend, and he should now be basking in the joy of the great success of the iPod, which has been bringing Apple a steady stream of profits since its launch.

Edward Jander looked at his old friend and asked, "I ask you Steve, when you go out, you make sure you have all three things with you, your keys, your wallet, and your phone, your iPod is not on this list." ”

Jobs has always used bullet-like language to impact others, but this sentence from a friend who has known each other for many years successfully hit the Joe gang.

Not long after Edward Jander took the helm of Motorola, the new official took office three fires, and wanted to do something that he had to consider now, of course, the first major thing he did after taking office was to successfully turn Ploughshare out of Motorola.

Sure enough, it is an extraordinary CEO, and the operation is difficult to predict.

This year has been a difficult transition for Motorola, which has been performing poorly since the bursting of the bubble in the Internet and telecommunications industries.

For Motorola at this time, it is still from "next door" that has been hit hard, and while Motorola's stock price is now plummeting, Nokia and Qualcomm's stock prices are booming.

There is a saying: happiness is not what you don't have, but what you have, and your most hated neighbor next door doesn't.

Motorola is in that mindset right now.

"By 2004, Apple's iPod had become a leader in the U.S. music player market, and market analysts also said that the global music player market size was nearly 100 million units...... "Edward Jander said here, seemingly affirming Jobs's work, but in fact it was first promoted and then depressed.

Sure enough, Edward Jander immediately changed his mind and added: "But old friend, the sales of mobile phones will be more than ten times that number, and if mobile phone manufacturers make music playback a must-have function for mobile phones, and even synchronize, then the iPod will undoubtedly face a life-and-death challenge." ”

These words undoubtedly hit the heart of the Qiao gang leader like a bullet again, and the Qiao gang leader did not say a word, obviously acquiescing to this.

Friends who have known each other for many years came to the door with Motorola in the hope of cooperating with Apple, at this time Jobs's mentality has quietly changed, if it was just a greeting before, then now it is really a possible cooperation with Motorola.

But interlacing is like a mountain, and at this time, Apple under the leadership of Steve Jobs is obviously unable to subvert the pattern of the mobile phone market.

It's 2004 now, and Apple is still hovering outside the door of people's phones that people can't leave, and if it's not an Apple crisis, then it's not.

Jobs, who figured it out in an instant, began to become more active and endurant than Edward Jander.

……

At the same time, while Edward Jander was instigating Joe to work together and make him determined to develop an Apple mobile phone, Luo Sheng, who was far away on the other side of the Pacific, was also stepping up time to start a secret project called the "Blue Core Project".

Obviously, the "Blue Core" project was regarded by Luo Sheng as a magic weapon that could take him deep into the hinterland of the telecommunications kingdom.

On March 21, 2004, Luo Sheng registered a new wholly-owned company, Azure Coast Technology Co., Ltd.

Luo Sheng transferred 12% of the equity of Bluestar Technology Company, and finally cashed out 2.64 billion yuan of disposable funds after tax, and he took out 2.6 billion yuan for the registered capital of the new company's Cote d'Azur, basically all of which were taken out, leaving only a fraction of less than 40 million yuan in personal accounts.

2.6 billion yuan is definitely an astronomical amount in this era, but for what Luo Sheng has to do, it is still pitiful, and if this fund is not saved, it will not take long to burn out.

The reason why investors are not optimistic about Luo Sheng's entry into the ICT field is because this field is not an ordinary money burner, and for a start-up company with no foundation, it is simply nowhere to spend the money, and it is given for nothing.

Under normal circumstances, this is true, but Luo Sheng knows very well what advantages he has, not to mention that he is bigger than the sky, but as a genius soul from the future who comes to this era, under his leadership, he will definitely be able to take a lot of detours, so as to save countless trial and error costs.
