Chapter 174 [Page wants to light a fire in Luo Sheng's backyard (monthly pass plus change)]

(The chrysanthemum has been exploded, and the monthly ticket is reversed~~)

——

On the same day, in the Western Hemisphere late at night, Los Angeles sent a financial report published by Bluestar Technology Group in the middle of the night, which woke up countless shareholders and investors.

According to the financial report, Bluestar Technology's total revenue in the first quarter of this year reached US$1.58 billion, up 263% year-on-year from US$434 million in the same period last year, and the quarter-on-quarter growth also reached 33%, far exceeding analysts' expectations.

Operating profit for the first quarter was $428 million, up 135 times from $3.17 million in the same period last year, and net profit was $247 million, up nearly 138 times from $1.79 million in the same period last year.

In the first quarter, 79.4% of the total revenue came from advertising revenue, 73.5% of the total revenue came from the BlueSpace operation business segment, and more than 83.2% of the total revenue came from overseas markets.

The proportion of overseas revenue has reached a new high, exceeding 80% compared with last year, while the proportion of advertising revenue has dropped to 80% for the first time.

The change in revenue ratio this quarter is a major factor in the game business of Bluestar Technology Group, which acquired three game companies last year and performed well, among which the most eye-catching performance is Take-Two, especially the representative "GTA" series of its subsidiary R Star has sold well and won a number of golden joystick awards in the industry.

Take-Two completed the company's adjustment under Luo Sheng's suggestion, and quickly got out of the predicament, taking off directly this year, and its current market value has exceeded $2 billion.

The G fat Valve company joined the BlueStar Technology Group array, and ushered in a big explosion in the past year, because Valve company obtained the entrance to the two major social networking sites of BlueSpace and MicroBlog, which made the number of users of the Steam game platform skyrocket, mainly from the entrance dividend of the BlueSpace website, because the precise push effect is outstanding.

As of 2006, the data of the Steam platform shows that there have been 77.5 million user registrations, which makes Microsoft quite regretful.

It is now an online game store for PC, with more and more small and medium-sized third-party game developers publishing games on this platform.

The rise of Steam has grown to the point where the gaming industry is not to be underestimated, and the world's major game companies are looking at it, and the key is that there is a tech giant behind it, which is important.

After tasting the sweetness of the A-level entrance of Bluestar Technology, G Fat said that it should not be too fragrant, G Fat was not fat now, and then began to be fed more and more fat by players, and was evolving towards a real G Fat.

V company has sprung up in a short period of time, which also makes Sony, Microsoft and other first parties feel threatened, and the PC side has snatched profits, so the growth of console sales must have an impact, and the market is so big.

What they are most worried about now is that triple-A masterpieces will land on the Steam platform, or even exclusive, although the PC hardware and entertainment attributes are not as good as game consoles, but the technology has been improving, and these big companies are looking at the future trend.

Once a popular model comes out, the impact it brings is not an itch, which is what Sony, Microsoft and other first parties are really afraid of.

Obviously, Luo Sheng won again.

When he bought these game companies last year, he was generally questioned by the industry at first, and now those who question it honestly keep their mouths shut, or in turn they praise it.

From the perspective of business investment, the money Luo Sheng spent last year was a big rhythm of making money.

CD Projekt Red, the third game company that Luo Sheng acquired overseas, "Polish Stupid Donkey", is now working hard on two games after receiving investment and no financial difficulties, one is the "Demo" released in E3 in 2004, and the other is the first work of the "Witcher" series, both of which are intended to be officially released next year.

Although the "Polish Stupid Donkey" is not as eye-catching as Valve or Take Two at the moment, the company is also attracting a lot of attention in the industry today, given Luo Sheng's personal effect.

The three game companies acquired by Luo Sheng have been in a state of stocking since they threw money out and merged into the territory of Bluestar Technology Group, and they have not interfered with any of their operations, not to mention, like Valve, which also gave A-level entrance in drainage.

This shocked people in the game industry who originally thought it was the second Vivendi, daring to love that it was an angel who came back, not a demon?

……

The first-quarter earnings report revealed that shareholders had regained confidence in Bluestar Technology Group, which stimulated the rise of BTC stock price.

Time difference, the Western Hemisphere was a day late, to the Western Hemisphere on April 17, the Nasdaq opened as scheduled, and the stock of Bluestar Technology opened with a gap high, the stock rose 14.9% on the same day, and the market value soared to $79.97 billion, once again surpassing Dell and Apple, second only to Samsung Electronics.

Luo Sheng proved one point to the market and investors with facts, believing that he made a lot of money, and questioned that he basically lost money, and even lost his underwear.

Entering mid-to-late April, major listed companies have also released their own financial reports, Google did not release audited financial results, but its chief financial officer George Reyes said on Friday, April 21, that the growth momentum of advertising revenue will slow.

On the news, Google's shares fell $27.76 per share on Friday to close at $362.62, a 7.11% decline.

Reyes then spoke out at an investor conference, saying that Google's growth depends on acquiring new users in the future, or entering new markets, rather than the growth of its existing online search ads business.

According to the latest data, the online search advertising business accounts for 97.5% of Google's sales, which is more than Bluestar Technology.

On April 23, Google finally announced its first-quarter earnings report.

Unlike most listed companies, Google has always pursued a strategy of not providing performance targets, which is also the case with Bluestar Technology Group, and does not want the company to blindly pursue profits and get lost in them, which Luo Sheng and Page are surprisingly unanimous in agreeing on.

Similarly, the stock prices of both companies are susceptible to earnings expectations or forecasts, and Google's first-quarter earnings report failed to meet analysts' expectations, resulting in a 19% plunge in the stock price.

It was the first time since its August 2004 IPO that Google's profits fell short of Wall Street analysts' expectations, and since its IPO, Google's stock has risen more than 400 percent, reaching a top of $475 per share.

And this sharp drop has also caused Google's market value to fall from the second place in the world's top ten technology companies in the IT field to the sixth, the first five are Microsoft, IBM, Intel, Cisco, and Samsung Electronics.

Google's $112.6 billion is in sixth place, and behind Google is Bluestar Technology Group, which has grown ferociously in BTC stocks during the week since it opened on April 17, reaching $87.2 billion.

Behind the Bluestar Technology Group are Apple, Dell, and Yahoo.

The market value of Google is getting closer and closer, and the market value of Apple is also getting farther and farther away, and it is possible that the second quarter of this year may overtake Google's rhythm.

Obviously, Google's operating income is heavily dependent on the advertising business, and Yahoo and Microsoft are catching up, not to mention the Bluestar Technology Group, which went public this year, and Bluestar Technology is the biggest threat to Google.

Although the stock price fell sharply for a period of time due to the turmoil of large-scale investment in cloud computing services some time ago, the first quarter earnings report completed a big counterattack on the same day.

As the world's top Internet giants on the rise, the two companies are often compared by Silicon Valley and Wall Street, and are hailed by Silicon Valley as the "twin star" companies of IT rookies.

Obviously, the eye-catching performance of Bluestar Technology is also an indirect blow to Google.

It is worth mentioning that the advertising business still accounts for the absolute proportion of Bluestar Technology's revenue, and the just-disclosed financial report shows that the proportion has decreased significantly compared with the past.

However, the operating income has risen sharply instead of falling, which is the most eye-catching place.

There is no doubt that the catch-up of Yahoo and Microsoft is secondary, and the Bluestar Technology Group is the key to putting a lot of pressure on Google.

But Google is definitely not going to sit still.

At the end of April, Larry Page was very decisive in setting fire to Luo Sheng's backyard, and Google began to make frequent contact with BlueSpace's competitor, MySpace, which is the second largest in the industry.

This has also attracted the attention of Bluestar Technology.

Obviously, Paige tried to light a fire in Luo Sheng's backyard, which was an undisguised rhythm.
