Chapter 708 [The Number One Money Burning Project on the Cote d'Azur]

The show quickly became popular, and Galloway's theory is very popular nowadays, and many people buy it, and his book "The Big Four" hit the bestseller list as soon as it was published.

"It's not going to make any more trouble, is it? It's only been a few days......," said one of the executives at the CΓ΄te d'Azur's regular internal executive meeting.

Luo Sheng was also present, he sat in the chief position, and he held a book in his hand, which was Scott Galloway's "Big Four", which is currently quite famous in the industry and a relatively best-seller.

"The attention aroused is indeed not small, but in fact will not appear, AT&T Group from the split to the present and gradually mergers and acquisitions, this is the default result of North America, although the split of the giant in the civil voice seems to be getting louder and louder, but when the dust has not settled in the great power competition, the multinational giant will not be split."

Luo Sheng put down the book and continued: "If you want to split up your own large head enterprises, you will become someone else's fish on the board, lose your transnational competitiveness, and meet not a better market environment, but you will be overwhelmed by the competitive pressure of other countries' supergiant enterprises. ”

Yao Jianhong nodded: "It makes sense, if you lose your international competitiveness, you will lose your international market share, and no one will be stupid enough to defend passively in the end, and the existence of multinational giants is to take the initiative to attack and defend with offense." ”

Lao Mei shouts every day that he wants an anti-monopoly investigation and a split of the super-giant group enterprises, but he has not seen anyone split up in the past decade or two, but the AT&T group that was split up before is now merged into one.

The executive was still a little worried: "Based on Europe and the United States, we are outsiders after all, they can protect their tech giants, but we can play double standards for us, we have to go out after all." ”

Luo Sheng said in an orderly manner: "Prevent a hand, keep more eyes on the natural will not be wrong, but can not be afraid of this, in today's digital age, we have our unique advantage, this advantage we will obtain a relatively strong negotiating position, to the continent market for example, you don't use my technology and service products you will be abandoned by the times, you don't want to have too much negotiating position, so don't be frightened by their intimidation threats, their hearts are actually very empty." ”

There are really few people who can fight the big data of the Internet, and the traditional European technology giants Nokia and Ericsson have gradually fallen behind, and those who are not outdated are basically pinched by the throat of fate by the United States.

Now the entire land of the continent is basically the world of foreign multinational technology giants such as the Cote d'Azur, Bluestar Technology, Google, Microsoft, Amazon, Samsung, etc., competing here, but none of the local technology companies can fight, and most of them are forced to fight under the pressure of survival and choose to join a certain party.

can only worship the dock as a little brother barely survived.

In fact, there have been start-ups with giants in the past, and PureLiFi, a visible light wireless communication technology research and development company founded by Hyland Haass, is the most typical example.

Now that the people who beat Zhou have broken their thighs, they have given up this company to Luo Sheng.

After joining the Cote d'Azur, PureLiFi is currently valued at $200 billion, making it a well-deserved super unicorn company and the only start-up technology company in the world that has been valued at more than $200 billion.

This year, Hyland Haas has begun to draw up PureLiFi's IPO listing plan on the New York Stock Exchange, and has discussed this matter with Luo Sheng, the head of the parent company, after all, the largest shareholder is also the biggest backer, although PureLiFi was founded in Dazhou, the head is also German, but the basic market is in the Greater China market.

Although it is a beating, it is a Chinese bone.

The penetration rate of LiFi light guide technology in the Greater China market is the largest in the world.

Luo Sheng also readily agreed and strongly supported him to rush to the New York Stock Exchange to ring the bell for listing, which will be the full rise of a super-giant and the largest holding subsidiary of the Cote d'Azur.

"In an article the day before yesterday, the Financial Times described the 2010s as the decade of 'BANG' and said that most experts predict that the tech giants will continue to dominate their industry in the next decade."

Yao Jianhong, who attended the meeting, said with a smile, and then he added: "But what is more interesting is that the Financial Times reported that the New York Stock Exchange officially created a [BANG+] index the day before yesterday." ”

The concept of "BANG" has been around for a long time, first coined in 2013 by CNBC TV host Jim Cramell, and was originally conceived as representing four high-performing tech stocks: BlueStar, Amazon, Netflix and Google, with the first letters of the names of these four companies forming the "BANG" concept.

The "BANG+" index, created by the New York Stock Exchange, does not refer specifically to these four companies, but rather to index tracking a basket of stocks of U.S.-listed tech giants.

Among them are Microsoft, Ahri Baba, who brought in the second "A", and PureLiFi, which is about to go public on the New York Stock Exchange.

All of these companies represent the technology of the future, and another thing they all have in common is the hundreds of billions of dollars in hyperscale.

If it weren't for the fact that the Cote d'Azur was not listed, and the Azure pure electric car was listed in the big A, there would be absolutely no suspense that these two companies would have entered the "BANG+" index.

Luo Sheng said with a smile: "The New York Stock Exchange is also good at playing, and the so-called 'BANG+' index can be called a galaxy battleship composed of technology stocks, and we are the leader of the undisputed leaders." ”

The audience also couldn't help but laugh for a while, the New York Stock Exchange's "BANG+" index has an incredibly high barrier to entry, and only the real super tech giants or tech giants that have clearly become the dominant ones are eligible to be included in the index's tracking, such as PureLiFi, which has only risen in recent years.

The regular meeting ended, and the other executives left one after another, but Luo Sheng, Yao Jianhong, and the head of the company's technical department stayed behind to continue the meeting.

Gao Hua, a senior technical director from the Cyanazur Laboratory, said: "Mr. Luo, the R&D budget of the virtual brain computer has been overspent by ......"

When Yao Jianhong heard the word "again", he couldn't help but be angry and said, "Why is your project overspending again?" Overspending every year, the R&D funding of this project has become the company's number one gold-swallowing monster, more than three times the R&D expenditure of graphene materials, ten years, 100 billion or dollars My God~, you can't save a little? It accounts for almost one-third of the company's R&D expenditure, and other R&D project teams are complaining to me, who do I complain to? If you don't have any money, you can print it yourself......! ”

The technology research and development projects under the Cote d'Azur are dazzling, ranging from a few million to hundreds of billions of dollars such as "virtual brain computers".

Ten years ago, the CΓ΄te d'Azur laboratory officially established the "virtual brain-computer" project and started research, at that time the company was far less rich than it is now, and at that time it was a science fiction-level concept, so the budget was only 20 million US dollars in the first year, but it began to increase on a large scale year after year.

Gao Hua said helplessly: "Mr. Yao, this is not good, all the money has been thrown in, and if there is no money, the whole project will have to be shelved, and the previous investment will not be wasted?" It's not for nothing in the past ten years, the technology has been iteratively improving, and if it is shelved, it will really be in vain. ”

Yao Jianhong said with a posture of iron: "If you want money, if you want a life, you can do it." At the rate at which your project department burns money, in a few years, the entire company will have to be hollowed out by you, and it won't cost so much money to build a super particle collider. ”

Luo Sheng silently watched the two of them perform, glanced at the two of them, and immediately stopped breathing, "Okay, okay, you two don't sing and harmonize in front of me, you can't take a dim sum with a fake stroke?" If you have an opinion, just say it, don't turn around in front of me, complain, and complain. Besides, the project was approved by me personally ten years ago, even if the project fails, I am responsible for it, and it is not your turn to give me the top bag, it's almost enough, and I still have to do what I need to do. ”

The two looked at Luo Sheng and surprisingly unanimously showed a honey smile to hide their embarrassment, and the boss was still as insightful as ever, and he couldn't hide anything.

Looking at the two of them, Luo Sheng said in his heart that it was too difficult for him to really drop, the management of these individuals are all ghosts, and they really can't control Lao Yao and them without any strength, to say that the biggest consensus of the company is to obey Luo Sheng, and there is no disagreement in the whole company from top to bottom.

And if he leaves office and doesn't do anything, the company may really not have the centripetal force that it has now.
