Chapter 200 [A Year of Harvest]
As time passed, the global sales of R-mobile phones of the Côte d'Azur had exceeded 1 million units on the second day of the third week, of which 150,000 units were sold in the mainland market.
In China, the R-mobile phone is definitely a trick to show off, whether it's in a restaurant, subway or other public places or the like, pulling this phone out of your pocket can be the center of attention.
For many places in China, especially those who are not on the Internet and have a serious lag in receiving the first information, they are very surprised to see this electronic product.
Can this thing actually make a phone call?
The mobile phone can still be made into this kind of straight board, there are no buttons, and you can just click the screen with your fingers.
High technology!
Moreover, many people think that this is a foreigner's high-tech product, and their first instinct is not to think of it as a domestic brand, but this situation is gradually receding, because rounds of publicity and distribution budgets are coming.
The Cote d'Azur has even been reported in depth by the official media in China, and the evening prime-time news broadcast also occupies about 3 minutes of detailed reporting.
You must know that the total duration of the entire news broadcast is only 30 minutes.
It is definitely vigorously reported, and the main focus of the official media's TV news report is the best-selling mobile phone of the Cote d'Azur company overseas, and the most important thing is to emphasize that this product is a world-leading advanced electrical product, which is extremely rare in China, and it can only be counted on hand.
This also makes many people proud of it.
I have to say that this short three-minute report is comparable to one or two hundred million publicity expenses for the Cote d'Azur company.
And the company itself is also constantly advertising for the full opening of domestic popularity, TV station media prime-time advertising insertion and so on.
To have money is to be able to do whatever you want.
……
On January 17, 2007, after the approval of Luo Sheng, Bluestar Technology Group officially released the fourth quarter and annual financial report of 2006 as of December 31, 2006 some time ahead of most municipal companies.
On Wall Street, the first to quote the report.
According to the financial report, excluding exchange rate changes, Bluestar Technology Group's total revenue in the fourth quarter was US$5.928 billion, an increase of 324% from US$1.39 billion in the same period last year.
Net income was US$1.423 billion, an increase of 806% from US$157 million in the same period last year.
Wall Street analysts widely estimated $5.29 billion.
Thanks to the strong fourth-quarter financial results, revenue and net profit exceeded expectations, prompting the share price of Bluestar Technology Group to reverse Luo Sheng's cash-out turmoil some time ago, rising nearly 9% in after-hours trading, and the market value broke a new high of $144.752 billion.
At the same time, the market value of Company B recently fell from $149.7 billion to $143.38 billion, surpassed by Bluestar Technology Group, becoming the third largest technology company in the world after Microsoft ($294.6 billion) and Cisco ($167.2 billion).
Bluestar Technology Group's annual revenue in 2006 was US$13.876 billion, an increase of 320.8% compared with US$3.297 billion in the same period last year, and its net profit was US$2.916 billion, an increase of about 885% compared with US$296 million.
Fourth-quarter earnings per share of $2.13 also beat expectations, with analysts surveyed in the R survey broadly expecting $1.89.
At the same time, Bluestar Technology Group also disclosed the market size of its six main business segments and ten wholly-owned subsidiaries in this financial report, but it is worth mentioning that the ten wholly-owned subsidiaries and the parent company consolidated financial statements, so the internal operations and performance of the major subsidiaries do not need to be disclosed, and the subsidiaries do not have a market.
In addition to the consolidated financial statements, there are companies that have already been acquired and the Polish stupid donkey, another - 152 million users worldwide, 80 million active users, and cumulative sales of 1 billion singles.
Yunge search has reached a 29% market share in the domestic search engine market.
Weibo has 166 million users, 750 active users, 140 million global users, and 68 million active users.
Bluestar Video has 200 million users and 80 million active users; The international version of BR has 390 million global users and 230 million active users.
No matter from the kind of statistics, Bluestar Technology Group is a well-deserved new hegemon of social networking and Internet in today's world, not counting the user overlap rate, the company's major business segments, that is, the total number of registrations of "family buckets" has reached 2.2 billion, equivalent to a quarter of the world's population.
Bluestar Technology also released a data that looks extremely exaggerated, the total number of Internet users in the world is about 800 million, and among the 800 million users, 650 million users use at least one of the services in the "family bucket", which is a very terrifying data.
Early investors finally believed Luo Sheng's original words, and they vaguely remembered that Luo Sheng said that Bluestar Technology was a platform, as huge as the Internet, and now the data is fulfilling what he once said.
Because of the release of these data, Bluestar Technology's stock surged about 9% in after-hours trading on the day.
The day after Bluestar Technology Group disclosed its financial report, Google also released its annual financial statements.
There is a bit of a competition in the open and in the dark.
In 2006, "" was included as a verb in the Oxford English Dictionary and Merriam-Webster's Dictionary, and Google also partnered with Bluestar Technology Group's main competitor overseas to promote text ads.
This year, Google's revenue was $10.6 billion, with a revenue growth of 72.8%, which was surpassed by Bluestar Technology Group's $13.876 billion to $3.276 billion, and Google was born five years earlier than Bluestar Technology.
However, Google's net profit reached $3.08 billion, $164 million more than Bluestar Technology's $2.916 billion.
The revenue is much higher than Google's, but the profit is lower, the main reason is twofold, on the one hand, the expenditure of labor costs, Google's current number of employees is 10,674, and the number of employees of Bluestar Technology Group has reached 18,975.
On the other hand, the company's other business segments are basically in a state of loss, especially the online video business segment, although it has successively obtained advertising revenue, and the growth is not bad, but the rapid growth of users has also brought huge bandwidth expenses, as well as copyright fees to make the video business expenditure, a series of expenditures add up to make the operation of the business segment always in a huge loss state.
According to incomplete statistics, because of the problem of online video business, Bluestar Technology has almost had nearly 300 lawsuits and disputes with Hollywood film companies or studios, all because of copyright disputes, but they are all lip prob.
The traditional media and entertainment companies in Hollywood actually want to talk to Luo Sheng, because BR's influence is getting bigger and bigger, not only can it get a huge amount of copyright licensing fees in it, but the key is that it also affects its own performance, although the impact is still very small.
After all, there are so many people in the world, and there are so many people who have the ability to spend, and everyone is 24 hours a day.
Doing video business is really a very money-burning project, not only Bluestar Technology's online video business is losing money, all peers around the world are also losing money, Google's is also, and several video websites that have emerged in China are like this, either backed by Internet giants, or maintained by financing.
Actually,Because of this, there are not many people who make video websites in China.,Either there's no traffic.,This is a big problem.,Or there's traffic.,A bigger problem will follow.,That is, you can't afford to pay the Internet fee.。
What's more, there is a behemoth in the industry, and there is a Bluestar Technology Group standing behind it, who else in the industry can compete with the financial resources of Bluestar Technology? According to the financial report disclosed this time, Bluestar Technology's current free cash flow has reached a terrifying ¥12.8 billion, which is about ¥99.45 billion at the current exchange rate of about 7.77.
