Luo Sheng worked in the Cote d'Azur company for three hours, and today's work here was basically completed, and he left here to deal with the work of Bluestar Technology next door, but fortunately, it was close to each other, and he could reach the office of another company in less than ten minutes and sit down.

March 2008 was a historic year for the global Internet community.

That is, the scale of China's Internet users officially surpassed the United States with about 226 million, becoming the world's largest Internet user country or single market, and is growing explosively at an extremely exaggerated rate, from the beginning of 2005 to the end of 2007, China's Internet users almost doubled, and in the following years it was even more exaggerated, almost 100 million new users a year.

Luo Sheng's rhetoric with VCs during the financing period has now come true, and sure enough, in 2008, Greater China became the world's largest single market for Internet users.

Backed by the world's largest single Internet market, even if it faces a complete blockade in North America in the future, neither Bluestar Technology Group nor Cote d'Azur will be able to die, and even maintain the size of world-class giants.

Because this market is really big, too big, so big that even a single market can give birth to a monster company with a volume of 400 billion US dollars.

Ten years later, goods from all over the world want to be sold in Greater China, and even Hollywood movies hit the streets in North America, which was originally a rhythm of losing bottoms, but they can rely on the Greater China market to recover their costs, and some can even make a small profit.

It can be seen that this market is huge, and multinational companies all over the world will be fascinated by it.

The market size is a kind of right to speak, and it has a strong premium ability.

After Luo Sheng came to the headquarters of Bluestar Technology Group, he stayed in the office for a few minutes, and then attended a meeting.

Half of his current working time has to be spent in various meetings every day, and the company's plate is so big, it is no exaggeration to say that it takes at least an hour and a half to report to him the operation of the major business sectors, which is quite fast.

Then you have to think about decision-making, you have to discuss it before making a decision, Luo Sheng actually doesn't like meetings very much, and he has nothing to love every day, but he has to open it when he sits in this position.

At this moment, the meeting is aimed at the two subsidiaries of the streaming online video business of Bluestar Technology Group, and it is mainly discussed in the international version of the BV video network.

Zhang Bowen, who was sitting in the conference room, opened a document and flipped through it, at Luo Sheng's request, the company prohibits the use of PPT, and everyone must use the original notes to attend the meeting.

It's a waste of time, PPT is a thing to put it bluntly for people who don't know how to read, so that he can understand, but as a practitioner, he also has a meeting to engage in PPT, which is formalism, don't you understand it when you are engaged in this industry? Do you still want to use PPT? What's the use of that? It's time to get out of class.

It has been proven that the original way of taking notes is more efficient and accurate.

At this time, Zhang Bowen stared down at the material report and said: "In the online video business, the global user base of the international version of the BV video website has reached 475 million, and the bandwidth cost last year was about 322 million US dollars, and this year it may lose 500 million US dollars." ”

This is the network fee that has discouraged countless Internet companies, and it is only the international version, while the domestic version of the network fee is about 1.18 billion yuan ($168 million) last year.

What's even more exaggerated is the data of the entire group company, Bluestar Technology Group currently accounts for at least 8% of the entire Internet traffic, and will use a large number of optical cables, which is quite terrifying.

Bluestar Technology Group's online video business sector last year, the annual revenue of the domestic version and the international version combined was 1.258 billion US dollars, but 85% of the revenue came from the international version, Luo Sheng didn't dare to engage in the domestic version of the payment model or anything at this time, and he didn't even consider the specific profit plan in the next three or five years.

And 95% of the $1.258 billion revenue comes from advertising revenue, basically, Bluestar Technology Group is now living by selling advertising.

However, this does not mean that Bluestar Technology is an advertising company without core technology, and the nuclear power plant is not a fancy boiling water power generation, is it not cutting-edge technology because this thing is boiling water to generate electricity?

Last year, the operating cost of the group's streaming video business reached 1.579 billion US dollars, not only to pay high bandwidth fees for operators, but also to remove the fees of advertising partners and video producers, including the share of advertising alliances with video UP owners.

How popular is the international version of BV video overseas now?

It has increasingly become a big dream base for countless ordinary people, and it is a folk star dream factory.

You can directly register a BV account, but most people like to use the BlueSpace social chain to authorize, and then become a BV video UP owner, dreaming of becoming famous on the Internet, creating popular videos, gaining fame and fortune, and even entering the entertainment industry to make their debut.

For example, at the beginning of this year, there was a typical example, a 14-year-old Canadian teenager named Justin Bieber was discovered by his agent Scott on the BV video website, and then staged two North American superstars, Arthur Kid and Justin Timberlake, competing with each other, and finally Justin Bieber chose Arthur Kid and entered the European and American music scene.

Some folk singers also make music and simple MV videos to upload to BV video sites.

Today, thousands of UPs have become full-time professionals specializing in video production, earning income from advertising networks, and some of the top UP owners have even become millionaires.

Bluestar Technology family bucket is indispensable, photo sharing sites should have BlueSpace, real-time information sharing and publishing windows have Weibo articles MicroBlog, what grievances do you have on the Internet to Reddit to tear apart, music or something on MusicSpace, and video sharing is BV.

Bluestar Technology is getting closer and closer to the mission of linking all mankind, in short, people find that as long as they go online, they must not avoid using Bluestar Technology's products, at least they must use one of their "family buckets" to mix on the Internet.

These products with strong social attributes and strong linkage can bring considerable income and encourage more people to participate in them.

It is no exaggeration to say that today's Bluestar Technology Group, its major business sectors have hundreds of thousands or even hundreds of thousands of people directly or indirectly relying on Bluestar Technology to live, and many of them are still alive and well.

Once there is a problem with Bluestar Technology, they all have to lose their jobs or their income will fluctuate greatly, in a sense, this is not a layer of protection for Bluestar Technology? It can be seen how difficult it is for the technology giant to move Luo Sheng now, which can be seen in the tube.

Zhang Bowen, who attended the meeting, continued to report: "According to the latest report released by Compete, it is very close to our internal data, in February this year, the international version of the BV video website is still the video website with the highest click-through rate and the largest number of unique users in the United States, accounting for 54.1% of the market share of the national video website. ”

Luo Sheng, who was sitting in the chief position of the meeting, crossed his waist with one hand, supported his chin with the other hand and his elbow against the table, he didn't say a word, just nodded.

With more than half of the market share in the U.S. market, this is the benefit of seizing the outlet.

Zhang Bowen flipped a page of materials and said:

"In February, the number of online video views in the United States reached 11.8 billion, compared to BV videos accounting for one-third of the total, and each user watched an average of 40.71 videos on BV videos, an increase in market share of 2.7% compared to the previous month, accounting for about 34.5% of the total number of videos."

"More than 151 million U.S. Internet users watched videos online throughout the month of February, and they spent an average of about 210 minutes per person, and in this regard, BV video sites still attracted the most viewers, with a whopping 92.1 million, and these users spent an average of 119.52 minutes watching videos."

"In February this year, the traffic of video sites in the United States increased by about 4.2% compared to the previous month, and the top five websites with the largest number of unique users were BluestarVideo, GoogleVideo, and Yahoo! Video, AOL-Video, and Microsoft. ”

After Zhang Bowen finished reporting the data, he looked at Luo Sheng, who did not speak immediately, and only nodded after a while and said: "The development momentum is good, and in less than three or five years, the number of users of the international version of the BV video website can be doubled to seven or eight billion." ”

The executives attending the meeting are now strong in their hearts, and everyone has long been accustomed to Luo Sheng's loud rhetoric, and no one jumped out to question him, because the people who questioned him are now all swollen on all four faces, two above and two below.

But deep down he was still very excited, and one executive couldn't help but exclaim: "800 million magnitude ah......!" ”

Luo Sheng glanced at him: "Say 800 million and you're like that?" That's all there is to it? What if I say that in 10 years it will be on the order of two billion? ”

When everyone heard this, their eyes suddenly widened......

This......
