Chapter 511 [Attack on Blue Star Technology]
Luo Sheng looked at Meng Qiu and reminded: "In today's global science and technology field, in addition to artificial intelligence, these inevitable and large technological development trends, wearable devices, drone markets and future driverless cars, which are important components of the Internet of Things, will be important scenarios for chip technology and artificial intelligence technology in the foreseeable future." โ
"These areas of each subdivision can not be underestimated, each market segment is a big platform, this is not only a big test for Intel, for other technology companies or technology giants around the world, it is also a big test for us, and at the same time for start-up technology companies is an opportunity, so my requirement is to be optimistic and decisively shot, especially if there are boundary blind spots that we have not yet touched, we must continue to eliminate illiteracy, to ensure that all major subdivisions must have our sense of existence, If necessary, it is necessary to cast a wide net. โ
Meng Qiu nodded: "Understood." โ
Luo Sheng said no more: "Sort out a copy of the information about Intel and send it directly to my private server." โ
After saying that, he left this office, no longer bothering Meng Qiu, he is the general manager of Shengfeng Capital, and now it is the venture capital summit, and there are many things to be busy.
As for Luo Sheng, he doesn't have to appear too much to participate directly, he doesn't directly manage Shengfeng Capital, and the real big bosses don't show up easily, so they can be lazy and maintain some mystery.
However, laziness is still a luxury for Luo Sheng, there are so many industries and things to be responsible for, even if he wants to be lazy, he doesn't have much time.
It is worth mentioning that in recent years, the period between the first quarter and the second quarter of each year can be described as an anomalous tour of the global technology circle.
In the next two months, most of the world's famous technology giants such as Cote d'Azur, Bluestar Technology, Intel, NVIDIA, IBM, Microsoft, Google and so on will hold their own technology developer conferences in their home stadiums to showcase the results of their technological research in the past year.
At the same time, it also reveals the direction of business development in the coming year, and also serves as an annual communication window between enterprises, consumers and developers.
This year, all major technology giants around the world have invariably taken artificial intelligence as the core technology output point of the scaffold.
With the passage of time, this venture capital summit has finally come to a successful conclusion.
A total of 139 tech startup teams successfully raised angel rounds at the summit, generating a total investment of $480 million, with the lowest angel investment being $400,000 and the highest reaching $3.7 million.
This is why the annual Shengfeng Capital Venture Capital Summit can attract many entrepreneurs to participate.

Google Headquarters.
In the conference room, Eric Schmidt, executive chairman of Google, was speaking: "The media describes the current situation of the Internet industry as a duopoly situation between Google and Bluestar Technology, but in fact, we are obviously weaker than Bluestar Technology by at least half to a ladder. โ
If it is Bluestar Technology and Alibaba that present a duopoly situation in the Greater China market, then looking at the global market, Bluestar Technology and Google are in a duopoly situation in the Internet industry.
Companies large and small in the industry, especially startups, are inevitably inseparable from these two giant tech giants, and these two companies basically control the monetization lifeline of developers in the global programmatic advertising value chain.
A senior executive at the meeting said: "This morning, the news came from across the ocean, the Malesia e-commerce company PrestoMall announced that it would abandon the traditional Oracle database and switch to Bluestar Technology's StarCloud cloud database solution to support the company's smooth response to the traffic spike set in the e-commerce promotion, and the cooperation between PrestoMall and Bluestar Technology has reduced the overall IT cost by more than 55%. โ
Paige glanced at the ceiling of the conference room and spat out a low scolding, "Damn, I hate cheap solutions......"
He doesn't care whether Oracle lives or dies, but Google is also fighting for the customer of PrestoMall, but this news has shown that Google has failed in the competition with Bluestar Technology and has not been favored by customers.
On the one hand, Bluestar Technology's cloud service technology level is in a leading position, and on the other hand, since last year, it has reduced corporate profits to benefit customer groups, which directly allows PrestoMall to access StarCloud cloud database solutions, and IT costs have dropped by more than half.
Google has eaten up a large part of the market share of developed countries lost by Bluestar Technology, accounting for about 21%, which was crooked last year.
However, Google's management is also very clear about why it can eat so much share, not because its products are more competitive than Bluestar Technology, but because it has eaten the dividends of protectionism.
The failure of PrestoMall is the best proof that not only Bluestar Technology is vigorously developing its business in the emerging market economies of the third world, but also technology giants such as Google and Amazon are not left behind.
"Bluestar Technology focuses on business development in the Southeast Asian market and Eastern European market, and unfortunately, we basically can't compete with these regions." Another executive said.
Eric Schmidt put it succinctly: "Then focus on the European market. โ

Bluestar Technology Headquarters, CEO's Office.
"The first quarter of this year has not yet been completed, but the performance has exceeded the sum of the fourth quarter of last year, and the key role is played by the strategy of 'rural areas surrounding cities', and the company has expanded its business to the emerging market economies of the third world, and it is also a considerable amount of money to accumulate without picking and choosing."
Luo Sheng came to the company today, and Lao Zhang came directly to report the company's operation to him.
"Don't pick and choose, mosquitoes are small and meat, and they add up to a considerable amount." Luo Sheng said with a smile, this was actually within his expectations, after all, the previous model of Huawei proved to be correct, and it was similar here in Bluestar Technology, and it was relatively smooth compared to Huawei.
"The most eye-catching is the development of the Southeast Asian market, and the local e-commerce company PrestoMall is very representative in the competition with Google." After Zhang Bowen finished speaking, he handed over a document report.
PrestoMall is a well-known local e-commerce company, the amount of data and customers have grown exponentially in the past few years, and the revenue scale has increased by 178% in the past two fiscal years, and with the rapid development of the company, PrestoMall's original Oracle database products have limited its demand for elastic growth, and the expensive database licensing fees have led to high costs for the company, hindering business development.
At the beginning of this year, PrestoMall decided to stop using Oracle Database, seeing that Bluestar Technology's solution was high-quality and affordable, and after investigation, it was found that access to StarCloud cloud database could reduce more than half of the IT cost for enterprises, and decisively came to seek solutions.
Bluestar Technology also provided a package of solutions to optimize the compatibility, cost, scalability, availability, migration convenience, service and support of PrestoMall's database as a whole.
PrestoMall finally decided to go with Bluestar Technology and successfully signed a long-term contract.
Zhang Bowen said: "Mr. Luo, the developer conference in April is ready, this developer conference is the company's announcement of the strategic transformation of technology, I think you should come forward to preside. In addition, the group company's $30 billion research budget for this year has also been finalized, and I will send the specific documents to your private server later. โ
Every year from April to June, the world's tech giants compete to hold their own developer conferences, and Bluestar Technology is no exception.
With a R&D budget of 30 billion US dollars, it has directly become the world's second largest technology company in terms of R&D investment, which is a company created by Luo Sheng, and then ...... R&D investment ranks first in the world, and the Cote d'Azur is still his ......
Luo Sheng shook his head and said, "I won't brush up on my sense of existence, and leave it to Xu Yong and Lu Qi to do it." โ
The highlight of this year is the launch of the fourth generation Azure flagship products on the Cote d'Azur, and friends are releasing new products to the market at a frequency of once a year, while the Azure series of mobile phones has only released five products and the third generation in seven years from the original generation in 2006.
Azure-3 mobile phones have been sold for two or three years since they were launched, and although they are technical products from three years ago, they are still the latest flagship phones in the industry, but they are indeed a little unsellable.
On the one hand, the market is almost saturated, on the other hand, consumers are also waiting for the Cote d'Azur to release new products, it is time to release products after so many years, most consumers choose to wait and see, and on the other hand, the quality of the product is indeed resistant to Cao, and the Azure-3 bought by users three years ago has not had quality problems until now.
Even a small number of "nail households" have been raised.
